Defying the Fate of Beheading-Chapter 515 - 286: The Goddess of Commerce’s Divine Favor_2

Chapter 515: Chapter 286: The Goddess of Commerce’s Divine Favor_2

"Don’t look at me with such fierce eyes, I am sincere. Among the commerce associations I’ve seen, only your Mayer has an information network comparable to a country."

Louis stepped forward, poured himself a drink, and drained it in one go, then said:

"As expected, I still don’t like drinking."

Louis looked at the Duke and said, "I’ve contacted Adventure Island on behalf of the Giant Demon Tribe."

The Duke Prime Minister paused and said:

"The Adventurer Guild? That makes sense, involving them in such a potential large-scale war of encirclement is not a bad idea."

Louis nonchalantly said, "Move all of Adventure Island above the Giant Plain, ready for a full-scale assault at any time."

Nuke said painfully, "With adventurers’ greedy nature, who knows how much the tribe will lose on this."

Louis calmly said, "That’s why I communicated with the Grand Chief before leaving the tent, to sell us your refined beast bones at ninety percent of their true value."

"Then the Mayer Commerce Association will directly hire them at our expense."

This counts as an additional service within the logistics service, but Louis still chose to lend a hand to the Giant Demon Tribe.

Nuke stood up and said, "Bringing you to meet the Grand Chief was the best decision I’ve made this time."

"After understanding our situation, Tunisia indeed considered shutting down Ninos’ Fury and will fully close this weapon once the cleaning operation starts."

Louis looked at the Duke, who nodded in agreement with the authenticity of this statement.

"We will contact various countries here, and if you need help, see if these countries can lend a hand."

——Louis said this on the premise that the Giant Tribe is willing to open its borders, otherwise it’s difficult for other countries to assist once they enter the Giant Plain.

Ultimately, even if a bunch of problems arise on the Giant Plain, other countries cannot directly intervene.

Although they worry that disturbances on the Giant Plain might damage their own countries, the risks of direct involvement are simply too great, and there’s the issue of being brought up later.

Therefore, unless the Giant Demon Tribe actively seeks help from many countries, they are not too willing to let other countries in.

Cleaning up the mess on the ruins might be possible.

But even if they seek help from multiple countries simultaneously, it’s uncertain how many will procrastinate, not to mention the time required, which is not something the Giant Demon Tribe is willing to endure now.

After all... if the Giant Troll Suicide Squad doesn’t act within 8 days, Tunisia will be unable to withstand the pressure and will act first.

"Ultimately, the internal leadership of your Giant Demon tribe must take the lead."

...

In the blink of an eye, 5 days passed.

During these 5 days, the entire Giant Demon Tribe operated like a war machine.

The weapons that were cautiously kept hidden before have now been largely opened to the Giant Demon soldiers preparing for battle.

Meanwhile, Louis found himself with more free time.

He began to frequently use the Crystal Ball to chat with Beatrice and Olivia.

Beatrice was a bit worried about him, saying she hadn’t expected the situation to escalate this much.

Louis learned that the Ense Empire also began amassing forces towards the Giant Plain. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Inside the empire, there was commotion too; who would have thought the Giant Demon Tribe, quiet for hundreds of years, would suddenly cause such a mess.

In any case, it was all very indescribable.

The scent of war was imminent.

But this is not what Louis needs to focus on now.

Because he found himself getting into something big too.

In the tent.

A priest dressed in a gold-threaded white robe sat smiling in front of Louis.

Louis’s mouth twitched slightly: "I don’t recall having any connections with your Commerce Goddess Church."

The priest, with a gentle smile, said: "No relation before doesn’t mean there won’t be in the future."

Louis paid attention to his attire, indicating at least a regional bishop or even a cardinal.

However, Louis hadn’t interacted with them before and couldn’t accurately judge.

But the legendary power emanating from this person told him they were... very strong.

"Since when does a legend from the Am Empire kindly come to protect an ordinary man like me?"

The priest extended his hand and said, "Kaeligan, cardinal of the Wealth Goddess Church, here to assist by divine decree."

"Divine decree?"

Louis frowned: "I don’t recall having such deep connections with the Wealth Goddess Church; is the goddess rewarding my achievements by giving me a deity’s favor status?"

Cardinal Kaeligan watched him with a smile without saying anything.

Louis: ???

Gradually he broke out in a cold sweat: "Sir, I know you’re joking."

"But we are not joking."

Louis’s mouth twitched slightly and said, "You want to push me into being a deity’s favored one now, give me some time."

Kaeligan nodded warmly and then built a small altar shape on the table using Gold Coins.

Louis said: "How long can you delay?"

As soon as he started the global supply chain plan, being a deity’s favored one was already a set matter.

But now doesn’t seem like the best time; being the Commerce Goddess’s favored one, what if the Abyssal Church targets him?

Seeing Louis so nervous, Kaeligan smiled and said: "Rest assured, I’ve reserved time for you."

He spread his right hand, making a "5" gesture.

Louis was overjoyed: "Five months?"

"4"

Trouble.

"3"

Louis felt something was amiss.

"2"

He didn’t want to be involved with the Wealth Goddess now.

"1"

But Louis wishes, the goddess doesn’t allow.

When the cardinal closed his eyes, he felt a brilliant golden light envelop him.

In that golden light was an unmistakably warm will, seemingly with a gentle voice saying:

"Your elder at home is too domineering; they’ve blocked me so many times, finally found a chance."

In the divine voice, Louis instinctively recognized it as the legendary Wealth Goddess.

"Goddess, I’m just an ordinary merchant."

Then he heard a light laugh.

It was just a light laugh, but somehow, Louis felt like hearing her say:

"Don’t make things harder for other favored ones."

Louis coughed slightly, ultimately saying nothing.

Actually, thinking about it, with what he did in the past two years, if he doesn’t become a deity’s favored one, it would be difficult for anyone else on this continent to do so.

Since the Commerce Goddess has sincerely approached, he’s not hesitant to accept this identity.

When he opened his eyes again and looked at Cardinal Kaeligan, he speechlessly said:

"Is it always this fast for the priests of your Commerce Goddess Church?"

Kaeligan smiled and said: "When dealing with important clients, we’ll do everything to speed it up."

What could Louis say? He was at a loss for words.

No, goddess, why are you in such a hurry?

Kaeligan shook his head and said: "It’s not us who are in a hurry, it’s you who should be."

"The goddess believes that if you aren’t blessed early, you might be in some danger, so I’m here."

Louis instinctively sensed something wrong, and just then Nuke entered the tent, pausing upon seeing Kaeligan, he was shocked:

"Kaeligan, why are you here?"

Kaeligan smiled and said: "Why shouldn’t I be here?"

"The divine elect cannot casually enter other countries’ territories, it’s an unspoken rule among nations."

Kaeligan laughed, "Do you know why it took me until today to arrive? The Grand Chief only agreed to let me into the Giant Plain today."

Louis instinctively looked up at the priest, witnessing a real Wealth Goddess elect for the first time.

Kaeligan’s deep eyes looked at Nuke and said: "Nuke, I’m not joking with you, the goddess believes Sir Mayer will face danger; my sole purpose here is to protect the future favored one."

He blinked and said: "No, now he already is."
