Chapter 164 Moonlight Cloth and Dress(1/2)
Just as Lorran Hill headed south, Charanrot, far away in the middle of the empire, also embarked on a new journey.
"Are you leaving?"
On a hill, Charanrot and Phoenix stood together, and in front of him was the little girl Nika who was reluctant to leave.
"Well, I have to leave because there is still something to do." Shalan Rott bent down and hugged the friend in front of him.
"Lotty must have done something big." Nika looked at the two people in front of her, without crying or crying.
"Although I don't know much, I can also see that Lotti and Phoenix are both very good, not ordinary people."
"Dad told me not to ask too much or ask randomly. Everyone has their own secrets, but, indeed, I still want to know where Sister Lotti is going."
"I heard that when my dad saved you, he was being hunted by the soldiers of the empire. After that, are you going to leave the empire, or are you going to start a rebellion like those rebels?"
"I won't escape." Lotti's chin was placed on Nika's shoulder and said softly, as if he was looking at a very distant place.
"... Then I understand." Then the two separated, Nika looked at the two people standing under the blue sky.
"I wish you can realize your ideas. If, if, one day, I can meet again and then I will grow up, I think, I can help Sister Lotti."
"Why? This is very dangerous. Your father told you too." Lotti thought of the vicissitudes of life.
"Because Sister Lotti will work very hard to do this. I want to share the burden with you a little bit. Who made me your friend? If I receive news that you are gone one day, I will be very sad."
"So, instead of regretting it at that time, it's better to do something that can be changed." Nika said with her hands behind her back.
"It's amazing, Nika, I'm at your age, but I don't think so far." Looking back on the childish and innocent self in the past, Lotti smiled faintly.
"Ah, Sister Lotti only knows it? I'm super amazing, huh, I'm going to become a big hero in the future." Nika raised her fingers beside her cheek and said proudly.
"Hehe, then I'll look forward to it. Looking forward to our great hero Nika, to save me, the weak woman." Lotti nodded with a smile.
After that, the two of them said a few more words, and finally it was time to leave.
"So, see you next time." Lotti waved.
A big bird burning flames swept down from the sky, like a burning cloud in the sky, lifting the two people on the ground and gradually disappearing at the end of the sky.
Goodbye, my innocence and cowardice.
Looking at the fiery sunset at the end of the horizon, Lotti held the small pendant in his palm, which was a holy treasure taken from the ruins of the family.
The red gems are made into spheres of countless sections. A black and red dragon shadow in the middle is slowly swimming, and the faint fluctuations in it are moving. The looming dragon shadow is even more majestic and divine than a real dragon.
Like fragments and relics of the Dragon God.

The Southern Empire·Blue-clothed Province
As a province, the most famous one here is naturally the cotton and fabrics it produces, and blue is mostly called Blue Coat Province. In fact, this is also a newly given name in the past century. In the past, it was called Red Vulture Province, because a long time ago, there were a large group of original sequence 4. Red-roofed vultures living here, so it was named.
Unfortunately, with the expansion of humans, this kind of monster gradually disappeared, so it simply changed its name later.
Walking in the market in the city, Lolan Hill looked at various clothing stores or fabric stores on the street curiously.
Compared with the few clothing stores in other cities, there are flowers blooming and competing for beauty. There is even a street that is as prosperous as the scenery of the imperial capital.
The nobles wearing precious clothes went in and out in groups of three or three, just like traveling and appreciating artworks, entering and leaving these shops and watching the exquisite clothes.
The shops here are different from other cities. Even if you don’t buy things, you will have to charge a fee when entering, just like an exhibition. The nobles also agreed with such rules.
Spending a little money is not a big deal, but charging can separate most civilians with low taste, which really gives them a better shopping experience.
Walking on the street, you can not only see people from nearby provinces, but also merchants and nobles who come here to buy clothes thousands of miles away.
Perhaps in their eyes, this is not just about buying a daily necessity, but about choosing a way of life, or temperament and style.
Transparent and clean glass closets can be seen everywhere on the street, either gorgeous, simple, or luxurious. Clothes of various styles and cultures are hung in the store, attracting passers-by on the street.
"Hello, welcome."
Lorran Hill walked into a shop wearing a light gray coat and boots. The maid clerk inside immediately stepped forward to say hello and guided her.
"You walk here and walk in, then you can go up to the second and third floors, and then there is a way to get down on the other side."
This store has three floors, each with hundreds of square meters, which can be said to be a rare large shop.
"Okay, thank you." The girl nodded, then walked into the store step by step to enjoy it.
"Did the guest like this one? I can introduce it to you."
In front of the girl, a young noble man and woman were standing in front of the transparent glass closet, and a maid in black and white uniform skillfully introduced them.
"The style of this dress is taken from the ancient Elf Kingdom. It is white in overall shape, light and comfortable, with several layers inside and outside, creating a progressive hazy beauty."
She introduced several pure white off-shoulder dresses hanging on the hanger here. The style is retro and simple, with several white silk knots on the shoulders and arms. These knots cover part of the skin and reveal part in the gaps. While maintaining relatively reserved and elegant, they also show the charm of the wearer. It is really a rare masterpiece.
The only thing to say is that it may be that it is not suitable for going out to work, travel and fight. But in that era, the elves were the overlords on the continent, and after defeating the giant royal court, there was no enemy that could threaten them.
Moreover, the lakes and springs under the World Tree are particularly clear, so they don’t need to worry about getting dirty or raining, so they can naturally wear such dresses for a long time.
"Do you like it?" the noble young man asked in the lover's ear.
The girl nodded embarrassedly and turned to look down at the ground.
Seeing his lover's shy look, the young man smiled, then walked forward cheerfully and pointed at one of them.
"That's all, please help me wrap it."
"Okay, please wait." The maid bent over and gave a gift with a smile, then carefully and seriously took off the dress and decorated it.
Seeing this just-constructed business, Lolan Hill paid attention to the price again.
12 gold coins.
It's very expensive. Ordinary civilians may have to work for ten years to make this money, and this is not an extraordinary creature.
After turning around, she saw many other styles of clothes.
Among them are the charming black and red palace dresses during the True Red Empire, the woven dresses worn by people on the remote plateaus, the morbid beauty of black and silver popular during the Mercury Dynasty, and the emerald long skirts loved by the forest elves, most of which are famous for flowers and grass-leaf ornaments.
In addition to these styles passed down from the past, there are also some types that have emerged in modern times, such as the cool water-playing style that has been passed down from the Southern Islands, the elegant skirts in the East, the black and white sacred religious style of the Holy Land, the dark witches popular in Oz, and even a few fur-coarse winds passed down from orcs.
The cloak made of tiger skin is the lifelike tiger head on the shoulders, with black and white striped fur draped over the shoulders, and the long scimitar of the cow horns and a leather velvet skirt on the waist, a kind of grassland herder's temperament comes to me.
These beautiful clothes opened up Loran Hill's eyes a lot. No wonder Ledith often said that the Canghu Empire was far ahead of other countries in terms of clothing and art.
After a walk around, Loran Hill returned to the lobby on the first floor.
"Hello, have you found the clothes you like?" The maid saw the girl stopping and stepped forward to inquire.
"Most of them are very good and also eye-catching." The girl first praised her for a few words before she talked about her plans.
"Actually, I am a chamber of commerce from other places, and I want to find out if there is a place to cooperate with."
"Then are you going to?" The maid looked at the girl briefly. Although the light gray jacket was not bright, it was also finely made and fit very well. It could be seen that it was specially customized, not very similar to the kind of person who was looking for trouble to cheat.
In addition, Loran Hill's appearance has also been added to a lot of points. Such a girl doesn't have to worry about money even if she wants money. Thinking of this in her heart, she patiently continued to talk to Loran Hill.
"This is the fabric of our chamber of commerce. I wonder if the owner of your store will be interested." After saying that, Lolan Hill took out a piece of [Moonlight Cloth] (silver level).
[Moonlight Cloth] (Silver Level), this fabric is loved by many nobles in the upper tier of the Mercury Dynasty in historical records. It was originally moon white and could also be dyed into other colors. It is particularly comfortable to wear, without dust, water, oil, and will not hinder the perception and absorption of Mana or magic. Therefore, it has always been a luxury item in short supply at that time.
This was written by her in her early years, but now the rabbit ears can also be made. However, Clancia is not like the empire. Not only does it have no nobles, but even most of the rich people maintain a simple living habit (this is the case with the overall environment), so this kind of fabric cannot be sold at a high price.
This time when she was shopping, she had some ideas, maybe she could sell some fabric to recover her blood. Even the wealthy Caritos Chamber of Commerce would use it for a long time to transfusion and purchase and transport various supplies, and would probably lose its vitality. In general, she still had to find some business to do it.
Maybe future businesses such as wine, food, extraordinary fruits, etc. can also be arranged?
When various thoughts came to the girl's mind, the maid carefully checked the rare fabric. As a staff member of the big shop, she was quite knowledgeable and noticed the rareness and superiority of this fabric.
"This is a very good material, but unfortunately the store manager is not here today, so I can't make a decision. If possible, can I leave the contact address? Someone will definitely come to discuss with you in detail later." The maid returned the fabric to Lorran Hill and bent down to apologize.
"No problem, I will stay for a few more days. If you want to find me, you can come..." She said that she had a famous hotel in the city and then left the store.
Afterwards, Lorran Hill went to several large stores and sent out the same invitation.
—————
Two days later, several well-dressed personnel gathered downstairs of the hotel.
"Hello, are you Miss Mesia?"
"It's me." The girl raised her head and looked at the people in front of her, then took off her light gray hood, revealing her chestnut hair, a white bow tied behind her head, and the soft hair fell on her shoulders.
"Why don't we go to that cafe to talk."
"This, okay." The staff member looked at the familiar colleagues beside him and nodded helplessly. It seemed that today's competition was indispensable.
After sitting down in the cafe, five or six male or female representatives sat at the table and looked at the girl curiously.
Most of them know each other. After all, there are only a few of the best peers in Blue Yi Province, and they have been familiar with each other for a long time. However, this mysterious girl doesn't know where she comes from and whether she can really produce this kind of fabric in large quantities.
"Hello, that's right. The president saw the piece of fabric you left yesterday and was very interested, so I asked me to discuss the subsequent cooperation with you." A elegant man pushed the gold wire glasses on the bridge of his nose and introduced them professionally and competently.
"There is a similar situation in our store. The hostess is surprised by your goods and is also interested in you." Another representative of the chamber of commerce spoke immediately. She was wearing a loose dress with beige base and gold embroidered edges, which was very luxurious.
"We are too..." Several other representatives introduced one after another, and then asked about Lorran Hill's detailed situation.
"How many such materials can you supply in the Chamber of Commerce? According to the extraordinary craftsmen in our Chamber of Commerce, such high-quality and rare materials are not easy to make, and the raw materials are even more difficult."
As a major province in cotton production, we naturally understand that such fabrics must be extraordinary crops.
