Chapter 9: The Merchant's Invitation
"By the way, Mr. Lindsay."
"I heard that you were injured, and it just so happens that I also have some ...... to deal in pharmaceutical goods."
Alini's gaze swept over Lindsay.
The man in front of him had no obvious injuries on his body, and there was no peculiarity in his posture and mental state when walking.
It's probably an internal problem.
The merchant girl had a clear mind, and she walked to the side of the carriage and stretched out her hand to fish.
The carriage looked empty.
But with Eleni's movements, a small wooden box appeared in her hand out of thin air.
Aleni took the initiative to open the box and brought it to Lindsay, which contained three ceramic vials, sealed with a hardwood stopper.
"You might need this?"
“……”
Lindsay's expression was subtle.
He knew very well that the girl in front of him must have been sent by the merchant Quet to spy on him.
There's even a bit of a beauty trick in it.
But just like that, he directly explains his purpose.
And he opened his mouth politely, behaved appropriately, and even offered to provide medicines......
There's an old saying that sums it up well, reach out and don't hit a smiling person.
Lindsay has the ability to identify commodities, and she is not afraid of what the other party will do with medicine.
But when he was about to take the gift.
The experience of dealing with Somkin came back to mind.
Lindsay looked at the girl in front of her and showed a friendly smile:
"I was once told that when I talk to a businessman, the price should be clearly marked."
Aleni returned with an approving smile:
"That's really good advice."
"Since it's a deal - I've heard you're coming from the Black Mountain World. What happened there, everyone will know after that. But if I can get it in advance, it will be a big help for me. ”
Just like the Somkin of yesteryear.
Aleni made no secret of her need for intelligence.
And when the girl saw the vacant land in front of Lindsay, where houses had not yet been built, she jumped into the carriage and took the initiative to invite:
"Mr. Lindsay, maybe we can go to the house and talk first?"
"Of course."
Lindsay readily agreed.
Han Sike on the side was friendly to him.
However, due to the "Anthroposophical Code" on his body and the identity of the other party's Law Knight, some questions are always inconvenient to ask.
If you have a pure conversation with the businessman in front of you, Lindsay thinks it's a good idea.
"Since there is no problem, you can have a good talk."
At this time, Han Sike on the side spoke.
He saw that Lindsay and Alini were communicating smoothly, and there was no contradiction between the two sides, so he said hello and turned his head to leave:
"Lindsay, I'm going to take care of some things first. In the evening, I will contact the doctor to come to your side. If you plan to stay at a hotel, just go to the town hall and let me know. ”
Lindsey waved goodbye to the Knights of the Law:
"Mr. Hanske, you go slowly."
The other side.
Aleni had already carried her wagon into the yard, untied the reins of the horses, and patted them lightly on the neck.
"Good boy, let's get a new home."
This courtyard, Alini also just came here today, and she is still a little unfamiliar.
After she had taken care of her car, she beckoned Lindsay in.
The two walked into the house one after the other, and there were still traces of the previous owner in the room, and a peeled durian was placed on the table.
Alini behaved generously and boldly.
The girl didn't care about the details, took out the durian pulp, then pulled out the wood and hung the kettle in the stove in the living room.
As a guest, Lindsay waited quietly for Eleni.
The merchant girl in front of her removed the skin of the durian shell, added it to the kettle with the seeds, and then returned to the table with a plate of pulp.
Lindsay nodded in acknowledgement, then got the conversation back to the point:
"My experience in Montenegro is very complex and certainly not exhaustive. But I promise you that what I told you is true. ”
Aleni nodded that there was no problem, and Lindsay continued:
"More than two years ago, in December, the temperature in the hidden frontier was getting colder and colder, and even experienced an overly long winter. Under the pressure of survival, I set out from the town ......"
Lindsey hid the origin of Red and the fact that he had killed the drake, and described the state of the Black Mountain world in detail in other aspects.
Half an hour later.
Alini is quite happy with what she has gained today.
At this time, the durian peel tea on the side had been cooked, and she poured herself and Lindsay a cup each. Then he touched it with one hand, took out the medicine that Lindsey had not accepted just now, and put it in front of him again.
The horse-drawn carriage just now has the ability to take things out of thin air.
This is the ability that comes with the skill of a merchant.
Lindsay silently recorded this scene, and this time he did not refuse, and generously accepted the medicine.
【Potion: Steel Vine Vitality Elixir】
[Hold in the mouth or drink directly to enhance the body's recovery ability.] 】
[A common vitality elixir, with a wide market and moderate value. 】
【Potion: Strawberry Antidote】
[Hold it in the mouth or drink it directly to remove ordinary toxins, and the effect on plant toxins is better.] 】
[A common antidote, with a wide market and moderate value. 】
【Potion: Wild Ginger Flower Tonic】
[Hold it in the mouth or drink it directly to enhance the body's ability to resist disease.] 】
[A rare supplement, moderately priced. 】
"Can strawberries still detoxify?"
Lindsey examines the potion in her hand.
Eleni's deal was indeed sincere, and no traps were set in it.
At the same time, the merchant girl spoke in an earnest tone:
"Mr. Lindsay, you have just come out of the Black Mountain World, and this is your first time in Capeon. You must have a lot of information about the city, right? ”
Lindsay looked up at Elenie.
Miss Merchant, smiling, gently leaned her plump upper body against the table, her charming face gradually approached, and pushed the teacup in front of Lindsay:
"We can talk about it."
“……”
"Miss Elenie, I would like to know your businessman's attitude towards me."
Lindsey doesn't eat this set at all.
He ignored the beautiful atmosphere created by the other party and threw out a tentative but also quite important question:
"At the crossroads of the world, the merchant named Quite showed great will towards me. I want to know why? ”
“……”
"You're really confused."
Aleni didn't seem to be angry, either.
The beautiful purple hair fluttered back, and the seductive figure also retreated into place.
There was still a polite smile on the girl's face, as if everything just now was an illusion:
"I don't know what Mistress Quit is about."
"However, in the commission he gave me, it shows that he values you very much, a brave man who has traveled through the world of Montenegro, so I hope to confirm your position and status at all times."
Alini replied.
Lindsey had quietly changed into sapphire glasses in the equipment slot.
However, the girl in front of her, when answering these questions, her expression spectrum was very stable.
It may be that the businessman has developed a strong mindset in the negotiations.
As a result, Lindsay could not judge the truth of the words based on this.
Alini seemed to see Lindsay's attitude, she took a sip of durian peel tea in front of her, and took the initiative to explain:
"There's nothing to hide, it's just a deal."
The girl stretched out her hand and pointed outside, then at herself:
"Lord Quit contributes money, I contribute, and the relationship between merchants is so simple."
Seeing this, Lindsay changed the subject:
"Then let's change the question."
"Miss Alini, you should know about the Capital of Law, right?"
"If I want to get to the capital of the law from the forest garden, is there a suitable route?"
