Kael shook his head, very certain as he said, "The recipes for the Three Magic Potions, as long as one can guarantee to follow the usage sequence of the potion combination, can be said to have fewer side effects than over 90% of the magic potions on the market."
Elanna spoke with so displeasure, "If our magic potions themselves are not problematic, then even if they join forces to exclude us, it wouldn’t really be effective, right?"
Kael shook his head and said, "No, they really can affect our Lancaster business.
Or to be more precise, people are followers by nature; when a considerable number of Chambers of Comrce unite to declare that there’s a problem with our product, it becos problematic even if it isn’t."

Elanna thought about the courses related to the federation and English jurisprudence she had studied at the academy. After a mont, she said:
"It seems that the existing laws do not adequately limit this behavior.
In the past, it was mostly handled through diation between the Chambers of Comrce. If the dispute between them was truly irreconcilable, it would be assessed comprehensively by the nobles backing the respective Chambers."
At the noble level, there already exists a set of viable unwritten and controlled rules by the Noble Council. From the perspective of the nobles, solving the problem would be much better."
After all, Elanna had not dealt much with the nobles before. In fact, she began to really understand the nobles only after entering the Royal Knight Academy and eting many of her classmates.
Unlike Kael, even though his original family was not welcod by the Charles family, his noble education had never been lacking over the years.
But Elanna was indeed very smart, and quickly deduced the past relationships between the Chambers of Comrce from the few words Kael said.
She opened her mouth and said, "Previously, there was generally one or several nobles standing behind each Chamber of Comrce. Small conflicts between the Chambers could usually be internally resolved through their union.
For conflicts between Chambers that could not be diated, consideration by the backing nobles ant that rchants could not completely break away from the existing federation’s ruling class’s control.
In a well-established noble system, internal Chamber affairs could be entirely negotiated by the nobles. But now, the rchants themselves have beco nobles.
The original conflict between the traditional, conservative noble system and the aggressive, fervent rchant system beca intense under the influence of the various Lords, and this conflict was transford into a ans of mutual promotion and growth.
The realist factions led by the Federation/Duchy/Lords, overlapping with both the nobility and the Chambers, did not necessarily share the sa interests, creating a balance among the three.
But now, the balance has been disrupted…"
Kael smiled and said, "You’re right; before rchants beca nobles, they couldn’t represent the interests of the nobility. But now, as they have beco the new nobility, a very evident phenonon has presented itself in front of them.
Previously, the noble system had its own unwritten rules and clear regulations that indirectly made up for our lack of relevant provisions against the Chambers."
But now, the forr restrictions on the nobility can’t be effectively applied to these rchants who have beco nobles.
It’s foreseeable that if such a situation is allowed to continue, these major Chambers will eventually beco the main entities controlling the economy of the Duchy and even the Federation.
By then, even without the approval of the traditional nobles, they will still be able to influence the developnt direction of the Yibel Federation in practical terms."
"…Isn’t there any other way? Like enacting relevant laws to limit their potential expansion."
Kael shook his head and said, "Elanna, that approach is very dangerous. Whether we acknowledge it or not, the existence of the Chambers of Comrce has successfully mobilized the entire federation’s economic system, applying resources more adequately in their appropriate places.
Although this was not the original intention of the Chambers, simply by doing so, they could obtain greater profits. But in terms of consequentialism, before they truly gained powerful authority, they indeed effectively mobilized the market.
To harshly suppress them would be to dismantle the whole federation’s capability to allocate resources."
Although there were so things Elanna did not quite understand, she roughly grasped the problem facing Lancaster Chamber of Comrce.
If they resorted to using noble tactics to directly undermine the Chambers, not only could it provoke desperate resistance from the erging nobles backing the Chambers but also criticism from the traditional noble system, and even give Kael’s opponents a chance to fra him.
However, if they did not resort to noble tactics, but rely considered the perspective of the Chambers, the Lancaster Chamber of Comrce would likely have difficulty withstanding the boycott from the nurous united Chambers.
Indeed, the reason Lancaster Chamber of Comrce was only facing this problem now was because Kael had previously surmised that if they carried on like the forr Florence Chamber of Comrce, which relied on a network of relationships for buying and reselling large quantities of goods, acting like middlen going through various noble systems to find temporarily unneeded resources for resale and expansion...
