The Vastness of Magical Destiny

The Catania River shipping lane was finally declared officially open during the grand ceremonies, and the Jellyfish People did not send anyone to attend the ceremonies simultaneously held in Rosenborg and Bahomon Port. It was clear that deep down, they were still resistant to the opening of the Catania River channel but had to acquiesce due to circumstances.

Judge Rayse of the Caucasus represented the Caucasus Prefecture as he presided over the inauguration ceremony at Bahomon Port, while Komer had come to Rosenborg for the first time to participate in the celebration event held by representatives of Rosenborg and several countries and cities in the middle and upper reaches of the Catania River. He displayed the Jellyfish People’s authorization letter to these representatives, making them almost insanely jealous. On the same day, the representative office of the Caucasus Prefecture in Luxembourg was officially established. It would play a key role in facilitating communication between the Caucasus and the countries and forces in the middle and upper reaches of the Catania River. Owing to gaining control over the Catania River shipping lane, the Caucasus’s influence on this region of the river continued to increase day by day.

"Look at this lowly fellow, now he’s actually so popular. Can you imagine that he’s nothing but a lowly baron from the Kingdom of Nicosia?" A noble watched Komer, who was mingling with ease at the banquet, and said with envious irritation.

"Heh, you might just be jealous that the navigation permit has fallen into your opponent’s hands," another noble said with a laugh. "But no matter, I’ve made inquiries through reliable channels. I’ve heard that three more permits will be issued in the near term. It’s just a matter of whether we can seize the opportunity."

"Oh? Reliable?" The first noble perked up immediately.

"Absolutely reliable. It’s said that on the side of the Caucasus, local merchants are protesting that this fellow has given our upstream merchants too many navigation permits while they have received very few. They are demanding equal treatment, and under pressure, that guy has gone to negotiate with the Jellyfish People again. It’s estimated that there will be an increase of ten navigation permits. Prince Maxim has already made a request to them, and that guy has agreed to consider it," another noble stated, feigning an air of mystery.

"Is that so? But it seems to me that this guy is quite cozy with Prince Thomas and Lady Dolomites," the first noble said skeptically.

"Hmph, that I don’t know. But I happened to be present when Prince Maxim made his request to that fellow, and I heard it with my own ears. It seemed like they were on good terms. As for Prince Thomas and Lady Dolomites, maybe that guy wants the unattainable—harboring improper desires for Lady Dolomites," another noble said with a sly smile. "No matter whose efforts it was, these three permits are tangible. As long as we can secure one, we’ve got nothing to worry about."
