Chapter 445 - 270 The Chosen People from the Other Shore_2
Hearing the name of the commerce group, Noah keenly sensed something amiss,
"What is the background of this commerce group?"
To become a small merchant capable of making money, the threshold isn’t high; as long as you are astute and perceptive, it is possible for any ordinary person. But to establish a commerce group, so-called vision, skill, and awareness are not necessary conditions; the key is background.
Without sufficient background, just the entry tax to various places can crush the dreams of countless small merchants to become wealthy.
"The Silver Cross Trading Group is backed by the Dawn Church."
"The Dawn Church? That’s a bit troublesome."
Noah nodded, realizing that any commerce group able to trade across the Continent either relied on the church or had the support of a major noble house.
Compared to the nobles, the church was clearly more troublesome. However, finding a trading group that had discovered the Eastern Coastline with the backing of a major church was quite normal.
However, the troubles Noah anticipated did not appear when he sent a Fairy to negotiate with the Silver Cross Trading Group, offering them reward money and proposing to share the routes they explored.
A route that could continuously bring in massive wealth, the Silver Cross Trading Group, backed by a major church, chose to share it rather than confront the Holy Dragon.
The start of this route was within the Holy Dragon Territory, and the other end was a desolate coastline with not a single soul. To turn this route into a river of flowing gold, the involvement of the Holy Dragon at the starting point was essential.
When Noah learned that the Silver Cross Commerce readily handed over the route, the reason given was simply logical and sensible.
