Hearing the questions of the two people in front of him,

Alhaitham was a little helpless, this kind of communication was something he usually wanted to avoid as much as possible.

The problem of low intelligence,

inefficient communication,

uninteresting purpose,

It's all Alhaitham trying to avoid.

However, since I promised that guy to act this drama well,

Then Alhaitham naturally won't pull his hips,

He nodded at Ying and Paimon.

"That's right, go to the port of Omos, which is the largest port in Sumeru, where merchant ships from various countries come and go, and what you want to take is called canned knowledge."

"Canned knowledge?" Ying and Paimon wondered again.

"That's right, the treasure that embodies knowledge can help a person become an expert in the field, and it is something that is forbidden to circulate by the Akademiya, how about it, would you like to help me get it?"

As he spoke, Alhaitham looked at Ying and Paimon, and there was a deep meaning in his eyes that was incomprehensible.

Ying and Paimon glanced at each other, then asked, "If you're sure we've completed our mission, you can arrange for us to meet with Little Lucky Grass King, right?" ”

"Of course, as long as you get the canned knowledge back, you can see the little auspicious grass king, how about it, it's simple."

Alhaitham almost read the lines that Wang Daoyi wrote for him in the script,

If Kaveh or Tighnari were here, it could be seen at a glance that Alhaithham's tone was completely perfunctory.

However, Ying and Paimon didn't know much about Alhaithham, and they whispered a discussion after hearing Alhaithham's assurance, and finally felt that Alhaitham was the person recommended by Tighnari after all, so he should be credible.

So the two nodded at Alhaithham: "No problem, your task, we will take it." ”

Hearing this, Alhaitham was able to smile, and he was finally ready to leave work.

"Okay, this is the pickup list, you go to Port Ormos, find a merchant named Dolly, get the goods from her, and bring them back to Sumeru City, and it's done."

As he spoke, Alhaitham took out a manifest and handed it to Ying.

Ying took it and couldn't help but look at it a few times,

As a result, it was all ciphertext, and I couldn't understand it at all.

Putting away the pickup list, Ying heard Alhaitham say again: "Let's eat first, it's not too late for you to leave after eating." ”

Sounds like a good word,

But Ying couldn't help but look outside, it was already off work before, and now it was dark.

This guy named Alhaitham actually let them eat and go on a mission?

Is it true that you don't look at the time at all?

However, for the sake of Alhaithham's invitation to dinner, Ying still couldn't help but complain.

Meal

Alhaitham gave Ying another glimpse of what clerk speed is.

After paying for the meal, Alhaitham left directly, with no intention of continuing to communicate with them, let alone arranging a place for them to live.

With no choice, Ying and Paimon begin to face their first question in Sumeru City - where to stay tonight?

In Mondstadt, she is an honorary knight and has dormitories in the Order,

In Liyue, she can also live in Wanmin Hall, not only sleeping, but also eating and drinking.

In Inazuma, she can stay in the Kirotsu tea room, go to Kamisato Yashiki, and even go to the castle tower for a night.

But now, when she came to Sumeru City, she found that she had no place to stand.

For a moment, Ying and Paimon stood at the door of the tavern, a little confused.

Not far away,

Alhaitham and Wang Daoyi stood together, looking at the bewildered Ying and Paimon.

"Why don't you give them a place to live? Why not recommend a hotel to them? ”

Wang Daoyi looked at Alhaitham and asked.

Alhaitham looked at Wang Daoyi calmly, but his eyes were still a little speechless.

"I only promised you to act, but I didn't promise you to help prepare any accommodation, it's not in your script, heh, in the words of Fontaine, I don't want to add drama to myself."

After Alhaitham finished speaking, Wang Dao nodded a little, and felt that it made a little sense,

An actor who doesn't add drama to himself, what else can you ask of him?

Then Wang Dao thought again and again, it can't be his own problem, right?

Pouting, Wang Daoyi stretched out his hand and wiped it on his ear, and the green void terminal appeared.

The next moment,

Standing in front of the tavern, the void terminal flashed,

[Do you want to check the information you receive from the outside world?] 】

Ying was stunned for a moment, still not used to the sudden appearance of the Void Terminal.

But she quickly reacted, reaching out and pressing on the void terminal next to her ear: "Accept, check." ”

A delicate little face immediately appeared on the transparent green virtual screen.

Ying's eyes lit up, it was Daoyi!

Wang Daoyi: "Oh, I haven't seen Ying for a long time, presumably at this point in time, you should also go to Sumeru City." ”

"If you're a newcomer, you definitely haven't settled yet."

"But it doesn't matter, I'm all ready for you, the Void Terminal will plan a route for you in a while, you follow the route, there is a place I prepared for you."

"Also, Ying, I'm looking forward to seeing you and me in Sumeru!"

The words fell, the virtual screen flashed, Wang Daoyi's face disappeared, and another route was planned.

At Ying's side, Paimon saw Ying's sudden stunned appearance and couldn't help but tug at the corner of Ying's clothes.

"Ying, Ying, wake up, what's wrong with you?"

Paimon was a little worried, thinking that Ying was going to faint again like she was in Daochenglin.

Ying exited the Void Terminal and shook her head at Paimon beside her, "No, I'm fine, I just received a message from Daoyi, let's go, he arranged a place for us to live, let's go over and have a look." ”

"Huh? Does Doichi also have a house here? ”

Paimon looked confused.

Ying naturally didn't know, just shook her head, and then followed the planned route.

Watching Ying and Paimon leave,

In the corner of one side,

Alhaitham looked at Wang Daoyi strangely: "When did you buy a property in Sumeru City?" ”

"Property? What are you talking about, I still need to buy a property in Sumeru City? Wang Daoyi looked at Alhaitham with an even stranger look, "Wouldn't it be better if I called it directly from the resource library of the Akademiya?" ”

Looking at Wang Daoyi, who looked at him as a matter of course,

Alhaitham shook his head slightly,

Sometimes, even he has to admit that some people are really invincible when they have thick skin.

"Forget it, I'm done with today's play, I'll go first."

Alhaitham waved his hand and turned to leave.

Wang Daoyi looked at his back, and finally slowly disappeared in place.

On the other side,

Ying and Paimon trotted all the way,

Finally came to a small house,

The house is not big, but it looks very clean and should be able to live in it.

On the side of the house stood a man dressed as a scholar,

Seeing Ying and Paimon coming,

He glanced at it, then nodded, "That's right, blonde traveler with a white floating elf." ”

He stepped forward: "Hello, traveler, I will give you the key to the house according to the task." ”

The scholar took out a key, handed it to Ying, and then took out a document: "Please sign and sign for the trouble." ”

Ying didn't react, and a pen was stuffed in her hand.

I signed it in a daze and got the key,

The scholar walked away,

Ying looked at the key in her hand with a blank face, the house in front of her,

How? In the blink of an eye, you have a house?

Paimon was also confused, but quickly became excited: "Ying, open it up and take a look, this is the first time we have our own home!" ”

It's been more than two years of adventures with Ying, and this is the first time they have a real house of their own.

Oh. Although it was still given by the king.

But, their own house!

With joy, the two opened the door and walked in.

——

Early the next morning,

Ying stretched out a little tiredly, and then got up slowly,

Maybe it's the joy of the new house, she and Paimon were noisy and didn't sleep until late at night last night, so she's still a little tired from getting up now.

Picking up Paimon beside him, Ying shook it off, "Paimon, get up, I'm going to Port Omos today." ”

Paimon opened his eyes in a daze, "Okay, I got it~"

In the midst of the bumps, Ying and Paimon finally finished washing.

"Let the Void plan the route last night, let's follow the route, we can reach Port Omos, let's go, let's see if we can meet any caravans on the road, we can take a ride or something."

The two of them packed their things and went out.

On the other side,

Port Ormos,

Several strong men carrying a huge box to Dolly's warehouse,

"Oh, noble and wealthy Lord Sango Mahabayi, this is the goods entrusted to us by the Chisha tribe, and it is said that someone will come to pick it up soon, and this is the ciphertext of the bill of lading."

One of the brawny men handed a manifest to Dolly.

Dolly casually opened it and looked at it.

And then

"Uh-huh???"

"With so much canned knowledge, when did Chisha's business become so big, and why are these canned knowledge not labeled, all of them are black?"

Dolly asked, looking at the strong man in front of her.

Obviously, one is a strong man, and the other is a little Lori.

But the strong man was smiling in front of the little Lori.

"Hey, rich Sango Mahabayi, these are all Chisha in exchange for the next quarter's orders, we don't care what black goods, what canned knowledge, as long as we wait for someone to take away things, the next quarter's Chisha orders are enough for us to eat all-you-can-eat."

The strong man's voice reminded Dolly of how huge Chisha's orders were in a quarter.

Dolly's eyes turned into golden glitters, and she seemed to see a large number of Mora turning into a great river rushing towards her.

"Hey, Mora, hey, Mora, shiny Mora~"

Dolly sang her Mora song, walked on her little feet, and walked to the side, and she had to go to the other warehouses with her Sango Mahabayi.

Just a box of canned knowledge, this kind of small business, if it didn't involve the Chisha tribe, would not have attracted her attention,

After Dolly left, in the exchange in the warehouse, a person dressed as a winter merchant walked out,

"Chisha's canned knowledge, hmph, if you can rob this batch of goods, Lord Dotore will definitely be happy, speaking of which, the canned knowledge is also on the list of supplies collected by Lord Dotore."

As he spoke, the Solstice merchant hurried away,

He didn't even notice that in the corner on the other side, Dolly, who was supposed to leave, was looking at him with a smile on her face.

"Great Lord of the Red Sands, I have completed your task, then"

Dolly's eyes flashed with Mora's glint as she looked at Wang Daoyi behind her.

Leaning against the edge of the wall, Wang Daoyi smiled and nodded: "According to our agreement, after the script is fully staged, the orders for the next quarter will naturally be delivered to you." ”

The smile on Dolly's face became more and more eager, and her eyes rolled slightly: "So, the great Lord of the Red Sands, do you want to have a special package?" ”

As she spoke, Dolly pulled out a long list of supplies needed for the desert.

However, most of them are sold in bundles.

When you buy a little what you need, you get a lot of things you don't need.

However, looking at the price, it doesn't seem to be expensive.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and Wang Daoyi shook his head at Dolly: "This kind of thing, you can discuss it with West Germany later, I don't care about this." ”

As he spoke, Wang Daoyi suddenly remembered something, looked at Dolly, and asked with a hint of inquiry in his eyes: "You and Ms. Alice seem to have cooperated, right?" ”

"Lady Alice?" Dolly nodded, and then her eyes flashed with gold, and she seemed to smell Mora's scent, "What, does the great Red Sand Lord order Ms. Alice's work?" With a deposit of 1,000,000 Mora, you can reserve a queue spot! ”

The story of Dolly and Ms. Alice is actually quite touching,

Dolly, who once lost her sister because of poverty, and Dolly, who experienced grief, decided never to experience poverty again.

So he embarked on the road of doing business.

But little Dolly has no advantage over other businessmen, and has never made a fortune.

Until Dolly met Ms. Alice who came to Sumeru,

No one knows exactly how Dolly and Alice met, but they are an enviable pair.

Alice travels the world and doesn't stay in Sumeru forever, but every once in a while, she asks someone to send her new invention to Dolly.

And Dolly will also find a way to deliver Mora to Alice after the sale.

Sometimes Alice would include a letter telling Dolly that she had been in danger recently, and that Mora could store it with Dolly first.

Dolly insisted on sending someone to carry Mora to the nearest safe area to Alice, so as to ensure that Alice could get Mora as soon as possible.

Labor costs, transportation costs, insurance costs... The sum of various expenses is not a small amount of money, but Dolly is not stingy and takes the initiative to pay in advance out of her pocket.

"Dolly the Great Good Man never defaults on her payment."

"Moreover, Ms. Alice's expenses are not small, and she must ensure that she has money at all times."

Dolly kept saying these words, taking the trouble to make sure Mora had delivered them.

Even though Alice is no longer Dolly's only supplier, Dolly still sees this as the most important thing.

Perhaps, in her heart, she always remembered the promise she made on the day she met.

Alice: "You want more than you can count?" Yes. I can provide you with all kinds of magical items, and how much you sell depends on your ability. ”

Dolly: "Don't worry. I'll sell it for a high price in exchange for a lot of Mora, and I'll deliver it to you as quickly as possible... I will be your best partner. ”

In the eyes of many people who think they know Dolly, Dolly's serious waste of money is not at all like what Dolly would do.

It's just that no one knows,

Dolly doesn't want to go through the loss again,

She had lost her sister to the absence of Mora.

And now, she didn't want to lose Lady Alice because of Mora.

Dolly, who was talking about Mora, actually took a fancy to the sense of security that Mora brought her.

And Ms. Alice gives Dolly a greater sense of security than Mora.

But

Even so,

The cost of queuing for an appointment of one million Mora also made the corners of Wang Dao's mouth twitch.

"No, I don't want Ms. Alice's alchemy props, I just want you to help me send a message to Ms. Alice, I want to meet her."

Alice, as a great adventurer, a member of the Witch Society, and a person who has knowledge of the other world,

Wang Daoyi once thought that Alice might also be an Advent, because Alice had a large number of otherworldly items in her hands and knew a lot of otherworldly knowledge.

But then Wang Daoyi learned all kinds of information from many places, and Teyvat's borders were becoming fragile.

And Ms. Alice often haunts the edge of the world, so the otherworldly knowledge in Alice's hands may have come in through the edge of the world, rather than Alice traveling out to get it back.

Therefore, Wang Daoyi hopes to meet and chat with Ms. Alice, and there will be a great gain.

"Oh, make an appointment to meet with the great adventurer Lady Alice, of course, of course, of course, and I sincerely benefit 500,000 Mora."

Dolly smiled and nodded, not at all curious about what Wang Daoyi was looking for Ms. Alice, and stretched out his hand directly to Wang Daoyi,

To Dolly, Ms. Alice is very powerful, and she is not at all worried that Wang Daoyi will be bad for Ms. Alice.

Moreover, if you earn the 500,000 Mora of Wang Daoyi, you don't have to spend your own money when you go back to send funds to Ms. Alice.

Shaking his head slightly, Wang Daoyi didn't care about the 500,000 Mora, just 500,000, he could meet with Ms. Alice for a while, and if he came to some news that he didn't know, he could earn back the money.

"Yes, you can go back to West Germany and add this money."

The deal was struck, and Dolly's eyes behind her glasses were sparkling and full of Mora's light.

"Okay, okay, thank you boss, the boss is generous, after I contact Ms. Alice, I will arrange it when Ms. Alice has time."

Dolly wasn't worried that Ms. Alice wouldn't agree to meet with Wang Daoyi,

In other words, the cooperation between her and Ms. Alice is deeper than many people think.

Seeing Dolly's confident look, Wang Daoyi didn't say anything more, and nodded: "Then be it, please make sure that the Fatui snatch this batch of canned knowledge and complete the script I gave you, and I'll leave first." ”

said to Dolly,

Wang Dao waved his hand and disappeared into the leyline passage.

Dolly looked at Wang Dao's disappearing, and there was a trace of thought in her eyes,

"It's such a convenient ability, if it is used for delivery, it will definitely make a lot of money!"
