677 Chapter 440: Return to Solan City [2/3]



Richard didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the gossipy look on Christy's face, and he pinched her cheek.

"What are you thinking about… Let me introduce you. This is Emily, my goddaughter."

He rubbed Emily's little head afterward.

"This is Christy, Solan's young princess. She's also my most trusted friend in Solan City. When I wasn't around, she frequently helped Vale and the Violet Merchantile Association Chamber of Commerce."

The Violet Merchantile Association Chamber of Commerce had a smooth life in Solan City. They had never met anyone who made things difficult for them. It was related to Christy.

Even if Christy didn't take the initiative to do anything for the Violet Merchantile Association Chamber of Commerce, she would frequently visit it. No one would dare to stir up trouble.

Only the young princess of Solan City could not bring such potential influence.

Even Windsor, the leader of the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce, couldn't compare.

When Christy heard the first half of the sentence, she felt sparingly relieved and…regretful.

'She was not her biological daughter… What a pity.'

There was a sense of fearlessness.

The second half of the sentence made her raise her head and look at Emily proudly.

She wanted to say she had frequently helped her father.

She looked like a child who showed off her toys.

Emily stared at Christy curiously.

"You're Sister Christy, the one Grandpa Karu often mentioned?"

Her childish expression became sparingly solemn afterward.

"Thank you for your help to Twilight City."

She held her chest and bowed afterward.

Christy was in no hurry. She blushed and said in embarrassment.

"It's okay. It's just a small matter..."

Richard looked at the two young girls and found them funny. He waved his hand and told them to play.

The two became interested in each other. They met for the first time and quickly became familiar with each other. They would frequently giggle.

Richard ignored them and looked at Vale.

Richard hadn't seen him for half a month, and the young internal officer had lost some weight. But his striking composure was still outstanding.

They entered the manor after a simple greeting.

Richard looked at the young officer beside him and said slowly.

"Did you get any valuable information during this period?"

Vale lowered his voice.

"Three days ago, a Crimson Moon appeared in the sky. We have placed all the churches in Solan City under martial law for the past few days. We forbade anyone to enter and pray.

"At the same time, the grace mainland lords tried to find out more about the Crimson Moon."

Richard narrowed his eyes.

"Has the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce made any moves?"

Vale shook his head.

"As usual, we found no strange things."

Vale gestured to the hall not far away afterward.

"After you sent the news that you were coming to Solan City, President Windsor will be waiting for you in the next two days..."

Richard nodded.

"Did she say anything?"

"No, it's just that her expression has been sparingly solemn these past few days, and I haven't seen much of her smile."

The Crimson Moon was about to rise. As one of the top figures, the number of things she had to deal with was as many as the hair on a cow.

The old white-haired man from the Red Dragon General Store couldn't hold on any longer.

Richard no longer delved into the topic and said softly, "How's the development of the Black Sorbet in the market of Twilight City?"

Vale immediately perked up when he heard this.

"Very good!"

"Our market potential is far beyond the market. The Black Sorbet will be sold out in less than an hour as soon as we open the store for a few days!"

This product could cool down the heat and was also so cheap. The black ice cream was like a sharp knife that stabbed into the hearts of everyone in Solan City.

No one could refuse.

Eating this thing in a high-temperature environment was simply too satisfying.

Moreover, it was easy to preserve. A large pile of food for ten days to half a month wouldn't be a problem in the modern era.

Cheap, stored, effective, large quantity… With all these advantages, black ice cream quickly became the most popular product in Solan City.

There were even many shops that directly came to the Violet Merchantile Association Chamber of Commerce to buy in bulk and then sell them at a higher price. They started a buy-and-sell business.

The Violet Merchantile Association Chamber of Commerce's first product achieved perfect results with all these factors.

"Are there imitations on the market?"

Vale nodded and shook his head.

His gaze was very subtle.

"The production process of the Black Sorbet is easy. Those wizard towers with high-level spell casters can quickly produce it.

"However, they all use unique magical plants as raw materials.

"This has led to a fatal flaw–the high price.

"Of course, they also have additional attributes, but the Black Sorbet was meant to relieve the heat. That would just add to the cost.

"Besides, their production method is very inefficient. For Solan City, which has a population of nearly ten million, it is like pouring a glass of water into a desert."

Richard smiled.

The price of 20 units of resources for the Black Sorbet was to kill off those competitors.

This thing is easy to produce. But no one could compete with them in the market if the opponent couldn't beat their production cost.

Magic plants were top-grade treasures on the surface. Who would be willing to waste them like this?

Moreover, frost grass was a native of the underground world. They couldn't figure out how they shortly produced them.

Moreover, with such a low price, even those who could produce it would hesitate.
