Things went smoothly. As one of the most powerful forces in the Katic continent, the Elf Royal Court deserves the awe of anyone.

What Philis and Danica are most worried about is that Kenster's city lord has never heard of her. Although Philis has an important position within the Elf Court, she is still in the "reserve" position and has not really entered the political stage. If she does not have a special understanding of the Elf Court, she may not know that the Elf Clan has a Princess Philis Yuelan. Fortunately, the Kenster's city lord is not so shallow. Kenster is close to the eastern forest, and a large amount of trade is related to the Elf Clan.

, He must have some understanding of the Elf Prince's Court when he sits in this position, otherwise he accidentally commits some taboos that annoys the Elf clan, and may cause a catastrophe. In fact, the city lord not only knows Philis, but also the political struggle between the two Elf princesses Philis and Calency. Is Philis suddenly appearing in Kenster? Is it because the struggle is temporarily at a disadvantage? He has been thinking about this question since he learned that Philis is coming.

Phyllis probably didn't expect that Lord Kenster would think of her as a political escapee, and she is now enjoying a grand welcome ceremony.

Danica was not with Phyllis. She entered the city a while ago, and was strolling alone on the wide streets of Kenster, admiring the bustling commercial city.

As an important transportation hub and trade port, it brings together specialties from all over the mainland. Danica even saw roasted sweet potatoes at a roadside stall.

Danica first saw a crop of sweet potatoes in Qingri Village. This guy is similar to potatoes, but much sweeter than potatoes. However, Tyran said that although the sugar content of this crop is high, it tastes sweet, but the starch content is too low. In layman's terms, it is not too hungry. This has led to the fact that sweet potatoes have not been promoted and are only grown in a small area in the Druids.

Sweet potatoes are similar to the purple-leaf radish that Danica has planted before. They are both crops that are being cultivated and developed. I didn’t expect to see them in Kenster, and they were at a food stall. This really makes Danica feel very novel. Has all the production in the whole continent gathered here?

While gnawing on the roasted sweet potatoes, Danica slowly walked around. After more than an hour, she found the store marked with the snowflake badge.

The shop sign says "Snowflake Forged Steel". It seems that it is a shop that sells steel. Just look at this sign, you will know that the shop is not simple. Steel, salt, and grain are all fundamental materials related to a country. Many regions do not allow private chambers of commerce to operate at all. In other words, due to years of war, such shops specializing in buying and selling steel will appear in the central region of the mainland. All those who can do this business are from a chamber of commerce with a deep background. Not to mention how high the threshold for the purchase channel is, just imagine who wants to buy steel will know that this business is not easy to do. If there is no background, it will be looted by those desperate people on the night of the opening. The reason why the Aishi Chamber of Commerce can do this kind of business is probably related to the support of Maines. The Kingdom of Solomon is known for producing various high-quality ores.

Danica lifted the thick curtain and walked in. A hot air rushed towards her. It was December. According to the light calendar, it was January. It was the coldest period of the year. The red flames burning on the fireplace made the whole store warm and harmonious. Danica looked around and found that the store was not large, and it was probably only a dozen square meters in size. A guy was lying on the counter with a curved ruler, dozing off. There were several silver-white steel ingots on the shelves behind it, which seemed to be samples.

Danica said, "I didn't expect you to come here so soon. I thought you would have to spend a few more days."

Ai Xue smiled and said, "I was indeed a bit unfortunate when I received the news. I happened to be talking about business in Melens. It was still far from here, but I finally arrived in time."

Danica looked at Ai Xue's eyes and said, "Are you already a third-level warlock?" Danica previously arranged for Ai Xue to join the Lilith Secret Art Club founded by Maines Solomon to learn how to directly obtain power from the abyss. Unexpectedly, Ai Xue's progress was quite fast. He had become a third-level warlock in just a few years. This talent is also very good.

After hearing the word "warlock", Ai Xue froze slightly, but soon recovered and said, "Yes, I have learned a lot of knowledge about warlocks in the Secret Art Society, and... I have also gained powerful power."

Danica nodded and said, "Very good. In this world, you can't do anything without strong personal strength. Don't be too nervous. Although the warlock is shameless, you don't have to shrug like a mouse."

Ai Xue quickly lowered her head and said, "What the master taught her is the lesson."

Danica frowned slightly, but she didn't intend to say anything. Maybe it was because she had been away for too long. Ai Xue should have been able to adapt after being with her for a few days and was no longer so restrictive and cautious.

"Let me introduce the situation here." Danica said, "Start with your store, how is the business?"

When talking about business, Ai Xue had some glory in her eyes. She could start from scratch and found such a huge chamber of commerce in a few years. Even with many support, Ai Xue has put in a lot of effort. She is still very satisfied with her achievements in this regard.

Ai Xue said: "The business here is pretty good, you..."

Danica said lightly: "Don't be so polite and restrained."

Danica's tone was very plain, but her expressionless words still made Ai Xue's heart tremble. She swallowed and continued: "You know that Kenster is known as the city of mercenaries. There are many mercenaries here, and the headquarters of the Mercenary Association is also here. For those mercenaries, a handy weapon is an important guarantee for their lives, so they are willing to spend a lot of money to buy a piece of good steel so that the blacksmith can tailor their most handy weapon."

Danica said in surprise: "You are retail! I thought you are doing bulk transactions here."

Ai Xue couldn't help but retort: ​​"Although it's retail, the profits of steel are still very high, and it can bring nearly 10,000 gold coins every month. Sometimes a whole mercenary group will come here to buy steel, which is also a big business."

Danica nodded and said, "You should have competitors in Kenst, right?"

Ai Xue said: "There are indeed some. Kenst has many dwarves. What they mainly do is the weapons and armor business." Although one is a finished product and the other is a semi-finished product, their target customers do overlap greatly, and competition is inevitable.

Danica said: "I have heard of the dwarf forging technology, it's quite amazing."

Ai Xue sneered and said, "But those short guys are not very smart. They are too straightforward and can deal with it with a little means." The mall is known as the battlefield of civilization, but no matter how civilized it is, it is still a battlefield. Ai Xue can still do this by any means to achieve her goal.

Danica smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid of arousing their boycott?" After all, Ai Xue sold semi-finished products. If you want to forge the steel ingots into weapons, you still need a blacksmith, and the dwarf is the best blacksmith.

Ai Xue sighed and said, "Master, those who leave their hometowns and come here to make a living are wandering people, whether they are dwarves, elves, orcs, or those outsiders. They come here for a better life, not for the so-called racial glory. I once designed to frame a dwarf and let him die in prison, but I have always had a good cooperative relationship with several blacksmith shops run by dwarves. I have also seen elves who specialize in cheating on the same tribe and fight between the same tribes in order to steal guests. Everyone is wandering people, and they come to bring gold coins to feed. In this case, unity will be rejected by everyone, such as the believers of the Holy See of Light."

Kenste is located at the junction of the three tribes, and the authority of the Holy See of Light has already radiated here very weakly. Although due to long-term habits, most human races, including those mercenaries who lick blood from the knife, will also go to the church to pretend to pray, but not many can be called true believers. Moreover, everyone does not like to deal with those devout believers. If you look into the reason, it may be because of different thinking habits. Everyone comes for money. As for them... who knows why they came to such a war zone.

Danica closed her eyes and didn't say anything again, and her fingers gently tapped the handrail. Ai Xue's words revealed a problem that she and Philis had never thought of before - a sense of racial belonging.

In the previous plan, they planned to integrate Kenster's elves first. Because they are close to the eastern forest, there are still many elves here, many of them are professionals, merchants and other people with certain social status. If these elves can be integrated, Phyllis will have a solid foothold in the city, and her identity as the princess of the Elf Court seems to be able to do this easily.

But after hearing Ai Xue's words just now, Danica suddenly realized that they were wrong. Whether it was active or passive, the elves left the familiar forest environment and came here to work hard to live. For them, the Eastern Forest is their hometown, and the elves are their compatriots, but that's all. The hometown and compatriots are used to entrust memories, which does not mean that they are willing to give up their interests for the so-called hometown and compatriots.
