Chapter 37: Convoy

The apprentice of the Riverbeach Chamber of Commerce left in disgrace.

Seeing the other party leave, Lindsay hugged Aleni and returned to her shop together.

When the door of the store was closed, he smiled at the girl beside him:

"Alini, when did I become your lover?"

Aleni immediately let go of Lindsay's body, and then rolled her eyes:

"What then? You can't say you're a stockings maker! ”

This answer confirms Lindsay's previous speculation.

The people of the River Beach Chamber of Commerce really came for the stockings, or the interests represented behind this commodity.

They were unable to confirm the exact origin of Alini's goods.

So the one who came to Lindsay today was just an apprentice.

If these merchants could really be sure that Lindsay was the provider of the stockings, the person who knocked on his door this morning would definitely be much more dangerous than a first-stage apprentice!

Danger looms.

However, this phenomenon also means good news.

Lindsay enthusiastically took out the syrup, melted a glass of sugar water, and handed it to Eleni's table:

"So, you had a good time selling stockings last night, huh?"

Aleni took a sip, leaned back, and lay down in the rocking chair Lindsey made:

"Humph! Isn't that good? ”

"You weren't there last night, so I didn't see the eyes of those young masters and young ladies."

"I'm afraid that the hundreds of gold coins that buy medicine will be earned in less than a month!"

Aleni put down the water glass, and her heart was a little excited.

With the popularity of the stockings yesterday, as long as this deal can be done, this should be the level for her to advance to the fifth stage.

From the fourth to the fifth.

- Ascender.

Thinking of this, Aleni bit her lip.

When she was 7 years old, she joined the Silver Leaf Chamber of Commerce in Platinum City and started as an errand.

Until now, more than ten years have passed quietly.

During this period, Ali Lini also encountered two opportunities, but under the fate of the meeting, she was always so far behind.

Now, in the midst of this voyage to the borders of the world.

Once again, I grabbed hope.

Alini's eyes were fixed on the glass of water in front of her.

The water with the syrup is slightly yellow, and it doesn't look good, but the taste is very sweet.

Alene looked at Lindsay again.

Today, don't use the name of a lover to help Lindsay block the people of the Riverbeach Chamber of Commerce. Even if something did happen, she could think about it.

Meanwhile.

Lindsay next to him was also lamenting the speed of the businessmen's actions:

"Speaking of which, the people of the River Beach Chamber of Commerce are really fast enough to act."

"You only showed your stockings last night, and someone came to your door this morning."

Aleni takes this for granted:

"They're businessmen who live on money. They see these things as sometimes even more important than their own lives, and they are naturally quick to act. ”

Lindsey praised Alenie with a sentence:

"But when it comes to money, you have a different attitude."

Aleni smiled.

She was very useful, and then explained carefully:

"That's because I'm focused on the trading process itself, and I'm not a faction with them. The essence of money and the essence of trading may be similar in performance, but the actual core is very different. ”

Speaking of which, Aleni was also interested, so she gave Lindsay an example:

"Let's put it this way - if we who take the nature of trading take the lives of others by accident, we will feel guilty like normal people;

But in the case of those guys who are essentially money, their first instinct is to hide the truth and minimize their losses as much as possible. If the facts are exposed, their second reaction is not to apologize or express their guilt, but to ask you directly, 'How much do you lose?' ’”

Lindsay couldn't help but shake his head and said:

"If the Platinum City is full of people like this, it is really a purgatory on earth."

"Purgatory on Earth?" Alini raised an eyebrow, "Your adjective is quite apt. ”

"The Platinum City is divided into three districts. Among them, the tower area is completely controlled by merchants who are in the essence of money. The situation of the poor there is really worthy of this title! ”

Lindsey says:

"So on the other hand, for the rich Awakened, it's heaven?"

Aleni shrugged her shoulders and gave a more accurate statement:

"Whether you're an awakened or not, if you have money, you'll do it."

"Money is the only measure of people's worth - as long as you can accept this statement, in the Tower District, what happens after that depends on your own ability."

“……”

Lindsay didn't want to think about that kind of world.

His expression was a little ugly, so he changed the subject and raised another concern of his own:

"Before, in Lookout City, Quit obviously wanted to pull me to Yaoyue City, do you think this Alikun, is it possible that this Alikun also received this news?"

Aleni asked rhetorically:

"You're worried that the two of them will gang up to trap you?"

Lindsey nodded in acknowledgement:

"That's right."

Alini shook her head slightly, and handed Lindsay the remaining half a cup of sugar water in front of her:

"Rest assured, businessmen are not monolithic."

"Especially these money-oriented guys. Even in a chamber of commerce, they are ostensibly close partners and can go out hunting together. But if there is only one interest involved, they can also be hungry wolves who bite each other's flesh. ”

"They don't just hand over the news they have."

After exchanging their views on the businessman.

Aleni also brings the conversation back to the deal itself:

"Lindsay, if nothing else, there should be orders arriving one after another today, you should have enough to prepare, right?"

Lindsey took out a batch of stockings made from the raw materials she purchased yesterday:

"I have all of that right now."

"If you want more, then go and buy raw materials, and I'll take the time to go over tonight or tomorrow morning to prepare as much stock as I can for you."

Aleni took the stockings.

What is in front of her is her opportunity to advance to the fifth stage, so she naturally has to meticulously check the quality of the goods:

"Now, I'm going to empty my family."

Alini sighed as she confirmed the quality of the goods in her hand.

The production of Lindsay [Workbench] is more stable than the assembly line.

Naturally, she was very satisfied.

After the inspection, Aleni responded to Lindsay, but changed her mind halfway through:

"Lindsay, I'll be at the Chamber of Commerce's quarters tonight and tomorrow morning...... Forget it, I'd better change my place of residence, go out and rent a room independently, and then I'll send someone over to inform you of the specific location. ”

“……”

In the room, Lindsay and Aleni discuss the transaction.

But on the road from Lookout City to Jiuwan City, a small convoy was already on the road.

The most important position in the convoy is a prisoner car!

If Lindsay or Alenie were there, they would have recognized how special the situation was.

The knight of the law, Hanske, sat in front of the prisoner's cart, acting as a driver and escort.

And the wooden cage behind him contained a faint golden light, a realistic embodiment of the power of the law.

There are no one else in the cage.

It was a few months ago that the big merchant who was still active in Lookout City - Quit!

One of them was escorted in a prison car, and the other was concentrating on the road.

The former has a confident smile on his face, while the latter has a meticulous, firm and calm demeanor.

"I said Han Sike, why are you doing this?"

"Escort me to Yaoyue City and hand me over to the guild for disposal, and at most it will be a fine. Didn't I do the same in the past? ”

"You can't behead me in public because of an uncertain crime, right?"

The knight of the law in front of him spoke in a serious tone:

"The outcome may not be the same, but the process is just as important."

"You businessmen have even concealed the discovery of the forest leylines, and even violently exploited them! The consequences of this incident are very bad, and you must give an account to everyone who is in the forest courtyard! ”

Quette was baffled by this:

"What, you still want to judge our River Beach Chamber of Commerce alone?"

Hear a conversation between the two.

Qing Qi, who was accompanying him in the convoy, expressed his support to Han Sike, and at the same time scolded Kuith:

"Of course, secret development is just a small mistake!"

"But you should never put the entire forest in danger in order to interfere with our party's entry into the Black Mountain, do you know what a mad act?"

Quette turned a deaf ear to the life scientist's accusations.

He only looked at Han Sike in front of him, and persuaded the representatives of the law:

"Seriously, Han Sike, we are indeed responsible for those riots in the forest. But this is not to delay the ranks of life scholars into Montenegro, everything is just a coincidence! ”

"Didn't you bring the scales to verify the truth of my words?"

"There will be trouble if my property gets out of control, and I approve of this escort, but a certain degree of freedom should also be given to me, right?"

“……”

The Knight of the Law didn't say a word, just drove.

[I can't sleep, add a change, that's all.] 】
