Not long after Cherry left, she sensed strong waves of aether coming from the bookstore.
She immediately thought of the mysterious man who had passed by.
Cherry murmured, "It seems that the man is an enemy. The Dome Church still wants to struggle. But it seems that Mr. Lin has already predicted this. He's just waiting for them to come and catch them all."
With Mr. Lin's strength, they would all die!
Bella carefully sensed the aether waves and nodded. "Someone from the Miyie Tower is involved. They've been lying in ambush at the bookstore."
The two looked at each other and exclaimed that Mr. Lin was indeed a prophet.
Cherry quickly put this matter behind her and returned to the branch of the Tree Merchant Guild that belonged to the Chapman family.
The headquarter of the Tree Merchant Guild was the temple of the druids, located in the forest outside Nuo Jin. The three branches were located at the edge of Nuo Jin, with the central area as the center. They formed a triangular structure to facilitate the transportation of goods.
As an organization set up by merchants, its purpose was to seek more benefits for its members. It also had the functions of collecting information and resolving disputes. It was very prestigious among the scattered merchants.
After all, Rohr Resources was a colossus that used to be an army. It basically only accepted elites and had nothing to do with commoners. In order to protect their own interests, the small merchants naturally had to unite.
The Tree Merchant Guild was controlled by the druids. It was famous for logistics and auctions. It provided normal goods to commoners and all kinds of spellcasting materials and rare items to Extraordinaries. Remember this: http://m.9biquge.com
Therefore, the druid priests only controlled the upper echelons. The middle and lower echelons absorbed many ignorant ordinary merchants and workers to maintain the operation. The channels for both sides were separated. The trading of spellcasting materials and supernatural items was also strictly controlled. There were special confidentiality measures to ensure that nothing went wrong.
The three branches were controlled by three druid families. The eagle totem's Chapman family, the bear totem's Walton family, and the wolf totem's Sapir family. The upper level was controlled by their own family members. The headquarters were actually composed of retired elders of the three families who were responsible for important decisions.
A Zier's druids were very particular about bloodlines. Therefore, a mixed-blood like Cherry was not very popular.
Especially since she was a hybrid of a Druid and a Dark Elf. Her black skin would cause the Druids to have a negative impression of her.
Who didn't know that the Dark Elves were the epitome of promiscuity and cruelty?
Because of this, even though she had always dealt with her enemies without shedding a single drop of blood and waited for them to turn on her, her nickname was still the "Witch".
But now, Cherry didn't care about those whispers.
She only needed one person's approval.
"Bella, call David, Herat, and the others over. Act in secret and be careful."
"Yes."
After returning to the branch, Cherry went straight to her vice president's office. She was going to gather her subordinates and a group of "aides" who had surrendered willingly. She planned to intercept the goods that were being transported to the Dome Church and the Congreve Trading Point.
Because it was a secret operation, only the most trusted members were involved.
Cherry purposely placed the undercover agent in Congreve's place. The mole who had the personal handbook was excluded.
Although he couldn't see any abnormalities or flaws from the outside, if Mr. Lin said that there was a problem, then there really was a problem.
They had already decided on the trading location.
Now, they had sent spies to check it several times. When they tried to sneak in, they encountered a problem that they couldn't solve.
"You mean that there's a territory boundary there and you can't break it?"
Cherry frowned, "Congreve has really invested a lot. He used the secret Druid technique of his family …"
Just like how wild beasts would divide their territories, a territory barrier was a kind of high-level barrier spell. Generally speaking, it was used when one was preparing to open up a new territory in a certain place to prevent others from coveting it. Only then would it be used to mark and warn in advance.
It was troublesome to use this kind of boundary, but it was enough to resist the destructive attack. Only the pure-blooded members of the family could pass through it.
David, who was in charge of the armed forces, nodded respectfully and said reluctantly, "Although we know the power of this boundary, we still tried to break it. That boundary seems to be set up temporarily. It's not as strong as it should be. However, if we want to break the boundary, we have to make a big noise. Our whereabouts will be exposed immediately."
Hearing that, Cherry frowned and asked her subordinates to leave.
Bella whispered worriedly, "There's a chance that Congreve did this so that you can go there in person so that he can set up an ambush to kill you … If he did release the book on purpose, then this is a trap!"
With such a big territory boundary there, anyone could see that it was an open scheme.
Cherry shook her head, "He's crazy. He's risking everything. He's cutting off his escape route. It seems he knows that he's standing on the edge of the cliff this time."
"Such an obvious secret technique of the Chapman family. Once it's discovered, and the Dome Church is exposed, the family will be implicated. Those old bastards in the family will definitely expel him from the family, cut off all ties, and make him bear the responsibility himself. When that happens, he won't even have the last bit of protection."
"But if the Dome Church wins, he can directly form an alliance with the former in the name of the Chapman family. By then, everything will be under his control. He'll win."
Cherry sneered, "He's betting that I don't dare to go there alone. He's betting that our investigation will be stuck in this area … However, not only does he have the gambling instinct of a businessman, but also the members of the Chapman family. They're all gamblers!"

Congreve was Cherry's younger brother in name, but he was actually 47 years old.
He didn't have elven blood in him, and he hadn't reached the extraordinary level that could prolong his life. As a human being, he was already in his twilight years. He looked like a middle-aged man with a tall nose and a wide forehead.
Congreve's eyes were serious, "Has the transaction been arranged?"
The subordinate answered respectfully, "It's been arranged. At the same place, we'll blend in with the transaction of the Blood Feast. The Dome Church has ordered a lot of materials this time. It's still the same variety, about three times more."
"They really don't lack money." Congreve chuckled, "The others also need to be arranged. By the way, I heard that the Blood Feast has a new member?"
"Yes." The subordinate said, "It's a dark wizard with a dog."
"A dog? Is it a summoned creature? "
"Yes."
"What's his level?"
"Panic level."
Congreve immediately lost interest and asked, "Is Cherry still looking for clues about the transaction?"
The subordinate said, "She's found it."
Congreve's face showed a ruthless expression, "This time, if she dares to come, I'll make her die without a burial place!"
