Chapter 49: The Messenger's Side Hustle

Alini disappeared into the street in a carriage.

Lindsey watched the other party leave, and also prepared to return to the store.

Before getting the next profit, his life must return to his daily routine and continue to run the store.

In his spare time, he fished and studied the ancient texts he had obtained.

It's also a smooth day after the adventure.

Goo –

Lindsay's door was halfway closed, and at this time, a strange voice suddenly sounded next to it.

He turned his head to look.

It was the child who had been entrusted with delivering the letter to Eleni.

Although the other party is young, he is delicate.

Not only did he send a letter to Eleni, but he also confirmed that the merchant girl had rushed to Lindsay's place, and then returned to the street.

After all, it is an exchange between the awakened.

Assuming something happens here, he can continue to earn some living expenses.

But the result is that after standing here for a long time, my stomach can't stand it and starts to growl.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Lindsay's eyes fell.

Seeing that the other party was about to leave, he directly invited the child:

"Wait! Alini and I still have some unfinished food, can you help me deal with it? ”

The boy paused.

Lindsay didn't say that he was giving food to a certain extent, and to a certain extent, he was taking care of his feelings, how could a child on the street not understand?

The boy turned around, his eyes flickering:

"Mr. Lindsay, is it really possible?"

Lindsay opened the store completely:

"Come in, isn't the food a waste?"

The boy was moved. He rubbed his feet on the stone steps beside him, and then cautiously followed.

Take out the [spicy rainbow fish pot] to entertain the other party, I'm afraid it will cause trouble.

So Lindsey only got some ordinary food for the other party.

But even so, this treatment is enough to impress a child.

So he reciprocated, and before leaving, he asked Lindsay a question:

"Mr. Lindsay, I heard your farewell to Miss Alenie at the door just now, are you going to find some news?"

Lindsay asked curiously:

"Do you have a way to do that?"

The boy nodded vigorously:

"I know a place."

"There is a letter embassy on Hongxing Road in the south of the city. You just have to find the right person, give them money, and you can get some news. ”

When the words landed, the child turned around and ran away.

He still carried an uneaten loaf of bread in his arms, perhaps for his companions, or for himself in reserve.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Lindsey watched as the other departed.

He returned to the store, took out the sign that was closed and hung it up, and walked towards Hongxing Road according to the other party's reminder.

The function of a messenger is similar to that of a post office, but the specific business is more diverse.

Next to the brick and timber main building is a rather large shed-style building. Inside, you can occasionally hear the cries of various beasts, like a circus in training.

The Courier's main city is Star Horn.

But they are not the only protagonists, the mediator and the beast whisperer are also an important part, and the beast here is from the last side.

Lindsey walked into the antechamber of the Legation.

In such frontier areas, the shipping business is always quite busy.

Many people queued up at the counter to communicate with the messenger and send their letters or belongings. Every time the business is negotiated, the sound of mechanical tools is faintly heard behind the counter, which must also be related to the work of the messenger.

In this kind of place, there are no waiters to entertain Lindsay.

He stood in the antechamber, his piercing eyes sweeping around.

Sure enoughβ€”

Didn't see anything!

Lindsey then switched the skill module to [Puzzle Game] 0.

Objects in the field of view begin to feature.

Some people wear necklaces around their necks with highlights; Some people have inexplicable marks on their clothes; The envelopes in the hands of others also became obtrusive.

In this perspective, Lindsay discovers a special guy.

It was a young man, also a member of the Messenger, sitting in front of a pile of letters.

But none of the letters in front of him shone with a special clue. Lindsay waited for a few minutes, the other party seemed to be working, but the envelope in front of him was barely moved.

Occasionally, a work companion whispered a few words in the man's ear.

- That's the man.

Lindsay saw the clue and walked straight forward.

The messenger also spotted Lindsay in front of him, and he squinted his eyes for a few seconds, and quickly reacted:

"Are you...... Mr. Lindsay, right? ”

Lindsey nodded.

The messenger smiled, and got up to shake Lindsay's hand:

"I know you, some time ago we had a companion deliver a package to you, is there a question about that delivery?"

Lindsey shook her head:

"No, I have some personal matters that I want to ask for help with."

The messenger is also proficient in business:

"You're sending something too?"

Lindsay leaned closer and lowered her voice:

"I'd like to get some information from you."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The messenger was silent for a moment, the smile on his face unchanged.

He pushed away the chair behind his desk, reached out to lead Lindsay, and walked to the back of the Legation.

"If you want to send items across the world, we need to fill out some special forms here, so please come with me."

The two walked through the corridor behind the Legation.

They came to a room-like room, where they poured Lindsay a glass of water, and then asked:

"Mr. Lindsay, what would you like to know?"

Lindsay pondered for a while, and then spoke:

"I'm looking for news of a girl."

"Her name was Red, her hair was half black, half white, and her eyes were bright red like flames. In the previous battle with the enemy, she was accidentally teleported into a random circle and thrown into an unknown world......"

The messenger listened quietly to Lindsay's story.

This information was also written down on a sticky note.

It was only after Lindsay had finished describing Red's appearance and personality that he replied with a little regret:

"If you want to find someone in the entire universe, this kind of information is not enough."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Lindsay thought it very seriously, and finally he added the most accurate news:

"Red is at least the awakened of the seventh stage, for now...... Even the eighth stage is not unexpected. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Poof!"

"Ahemβ€”ahem, ahem, ahemβ€”β€”!"

The messenger was directly choked by Lindsay's answer.

He tried to calm himself, then looked at the note in his hand, crumpled it dryly, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Wait for the messenger to look up again.

His expression towards Lindsay also became subtle and cautious:

"Mr. Lindsay, such a ...... People, news is not easy to find. ”

Lindsey replied blandly:

"I just want to know what world she's in now?"

"By the way, how much is the deposit for this kind of entrustment?"

The Messenger replied with a bitter face:

"It's hard to price this kind of work."

"If we get the news here, let's talk to you about the cost."

"Please wait a moment here."

With that, the messenger left the house, and returned to Lindsay a few minutes later.

He took out a metal plate and handed it over, with some special symbols engraved on it, which should be the secret code and the like.

Lindsay took a look.

This is a sign that messengers use to confirm customer information.

Even if he is not in this world in the future, he can rely on this brand to prove his identity as a client.

Lindsey opened her mouth and confirmed:

"So as long as you take out this sign at the place where there is a letter embassy, you can confirm the news with the local staff?"

The Courier nodded:

"That's right, if we can find this red lady."

Speaking of which.

Lindsey wanted to change the subject and ask about the warriors.

But the messenger in front of him offered to make a deal:

"By the way, I might be able to sell you another piece of news."

This time the messenger offered to offer a price:

"If you'd like, this news will be sold for 5 Crude Gold Coins - it has something to do with the Lookout City you've been in before."

Lindsay simply took five gold coins:

"Please."

The messenger accepted the gold coins and began to speak:

"According to our information, after you and Miss Alini left, there was a conflict in Lookout City."

"Among them, the merchant Quit, who was defeated in public by the knight of the law, Hanske, is currently being escorted under the supervision of the high-level of the Life Society."

"If nothing else, they'll be in Nine Bay City in two days."
