Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Parrot Flying Courier Company

Before leaving, he deliberately returned to the house and tied Benjamin with a rope, so that he could learn who was the master and who was the servant.

An hour and a half later, without the harassment of the bandits, they arrived at their destination without incident, and it seems that the so-called robbers are just a rhetoric to raise the price.

Raven Town is located in a mountain col, the size is larger than Red Crow, the surrounding natural barriers can enhance the defense of the place, the streets are full of people, there are many vendors, probably due to the terrain, the streets are a bit narrow, can accommodate three carriages side by side.

The most unacceptable thing is that the not wide streets are covered with horse manure, which is left by those horse-drawn carriages that come and go on the streets, and there are very few horse-drawn carriages for passengers, and occasionally one can be seen, so most people will take horse-drawn carriages because of economic factors.

The Gothic buildings lining the streets look a little lonely in the rare sunlight, and the outer walls are quite dilapidated due to disrepair, which contrasts with the commercial atmosphere here, which is full of people and vendors pushing small boxes.

There are no traffic rules, and the streets are crowded with vehicles and people, and a large number of people are in and out of the shops facing the street.

Observing these situations, Luo Ning patted the dust stained on the black cloak from the ride in the van as he walked, and a rough voice came from behind him.

"Let me get out of the way."

Luo Ning quickly ducked to the side, and looked back at the carriage rushing behind him, it was a carriage for people, and a huge coin pattern was engraved on the outside of the carriage, half of it was gold, half of it was silver.

As the carriage passed by, the groom spat on the street with his head tilted sideways, and landed impartially on the ground in front of Ronin's toes.

with a thick accent.

"I'm sorry, lad."

By the time Luo Ning reacted and frowned, the vehicle had already sped away.

"No quality."

After scolding secretly, he walked along the street, observing the shops on both sides of the street.

I asked several stores in a row, and when I heard what I wanted to buy, the shop owners all smiled mockingly, and then gave almost the same reply.

"Young people, musical instruments and books are not enough to get by, but it is most affordable to buy some ingredients and beautiful new clothes."

Now I finally understand why Ye Nifu praised himself so weirdly after hearing what he was going to buy, because the values of ordinary people here are like this.

"It seems that we have to solve the things that can be done first."

Ronin decided to mail the message to the Brotherhood of Destiny first.

Reliable messenger ......

As he walked down the street, an iron bucket across the street caught his attention, carefully avoiding the dense fresh and dried horse manure on the street, and walked through the crowd to the edge of the iron bucket.

After circling around the iron bucket, he suddenly felt a heavy knock on his shoulder, and when he turned around, he found a thief-eyed fellow standing behind him, not tall and thin enough to make people think that a gust of wind could blow it away.

"Need to mail something?"

The little man looked around and asked in a whisper.

Ronin nodded.

The little man slapped the bucket with a crunching sound.

"Frankly, Leviathan Postal Company's service is so sparse that if it weren't for the fact that there was no one to replace their business, they would have gone out of business long ago."

The iron bucket said Leviathan, and it seemed that it was correct, it was indeed a mailbox, and it was a private mail company.

The little man gushed endlessly, counting the crimes of the Leviathan postal company, such as lost mail, slow speed, bad service attitude, etc., and then the conversation changed.

"Now the situation has changed, the Parrot Flight Express Company has been established, the service attitude is good, the speed is fast, the goods are guaranteed to be lost, if the goods are lost, they can be compensated according to ten times the value of the goods."

"Huh?"

Luo Ning was surprised to hear these descriptions, it seems that someone in this era has an insight into the core competitiveness of the mail business, which is fast, guaranteed, and has a good service attitude.

"Where is the Parrot Flight Courier?" He couldn't wait to ask.

The little man looked around in a sneaky manner again, then hooked his fingers and walked ahead into a nearby alley.

Luo Ning hesitated for a moment to follow, anyway, now that he has a gun, even if there are no bullets to bluff this little man, it shouldn't be a big problem, in short, there is still a certainty of safe escape.

Follow into a small alley, where only two adults are allowed to walk side by side.

After turning several corners, I finally saw a little man standing in a doorway waiting.

After a moment's hesitation, there was a not-so-conspicuous sign hanging on the wall of the mottled and dilapidated doorway, which read, "Parrot Flying Courier Company." ”

"Come in."

The little man pushed open the mottled and dilapidated door, the passage was narrow and damp, about five or six meters, and at the end was a wooden staircase in disrepair, which creaked and creaked when stepped on, as if it was about to collapse at any moment.

I went up the stairs to the second floor, and the half-hidden door was pushed open, and a pungent smell came, the smell of bird droppings.

The interior of the room was small, less than twenty square meters, the walls were peeling, there was not even a ventilation window, and a candle was lit on the left side of the door, which was almost burned, and the beams of the room could be seen hanging with birdcages in the candlelight.

After the little man entered the door, he looked back at the young man standing in the door with a suspicious expression, embarrassed to explain.

"Parrot Flight Express has only been established for three days, and this is the case now, but I promise that what I said before will be done, please rest assured."

Luo Ning hesitated and stepped inside, and the little man had quickly pulled over a wooden chair and placed it opposite the only mottled desk, and stretched out his hand to signal.

"You may be seated."

The two of them sat down.

"What do you want to mail, I only provide small mail service here, because my postman is not a human, he is one of those birds." The little man turned and pointed to the birdcages on the beams.

Using a bird to mail a courier is of course an infinite number of times faster than a human, which is a good idea.

Luo Ning took out the materials he wanted to mail.

"That's all, how much does it cost?"

The little man glanced at the materials wrapped in an envelope, then took out an envelope made of rough paper from the desk drawer and filled it in, then lit a candle and placed a small plate on it to bake for a while, and the red liquid was inside.

Finally, the melted red liquid was poured on the seal of the envelope, and finally an iron official seal was stamped and handed back.

"Fill in your address, you are the first customer of Parrot Express since its establishment, so you can do it for free, as long as you feel satisfied with the service after using it, and then recommend it to the people around you."

The red liquid is fire paint, which is how the Western Middle Ages sealed important information to prevent people from being opened without knowing it during the delivery of the letter, and the service was indeed quite considerate.

The first customer is free, this guy really has a strong business acumen, but Luo Ning filled in the address on the slip and handed it back, a little puzzled.

"Why are you opening a courier company in a place like this...... If it's a street......"

The little man smiled helplessly, took the envelope back, then got up and walked to a bird cage, opened the bird cage and took out the messenger inside, it was a macaw, and finally wrapped the information around the parrot's legs, then pulled a rope on the wall, opened a hole in the roof, and let go of the parrot after the parrot flew away.

Then close the hole in the roof again and come back and sit down.

"If the address you fill in is a manual transportation, it will take about three months, and if it is a parrot, it will take three days, as for the question you just asked, I think you should be a foreigner."

Luo Ning nodded, not understanding why this sentence would reveal the information that he was an outsider.

The little man patiently explained.

"Leviathan is a subsidiary of the Money Trust organization, their business model is to maintain a monopoly, he will use his strong connections and money base to fight all competitors, the means are despicable, such as hiring some ruffians to cause trouble, or bounty hunters will kill you one night, there have been several mail companies that have failed like this, and their owners will die inexplicably, so opening in this kind of place can more or less avoid letting them find out before they grow, and this is not something I dare not publicize on a large scale, One of the reasons why I can only pull people by myself is that the rent here is very cheap, only two rand a month, and I am very short of funds. ”

There was a pause.

"I hope the situation will be better in the future, now I am the only employee, and I will slowly increase the number of people in the future." The little man lowered his head and began to talk to himself.

After hearing this explanation and thinking for a while, Luo Ning suddenly had a bold idea.
