Lindsey Three.

Dine at a restaurant called Dave's Fish House by the sea.

The food culture of the City of a Thousand Sails follows the environmental influence, and is dominated by seafood.

A whole large loose-clawed crab caught from the deep sea will not cost more than three gold coins.

Lindsey tastes the local cuisine.

These are more interesting to eat than the perfect food he makes, which will reflect a person's cooking skills.

Vala Vara is in high spirits, telling Haruka about what happened to her on Mermaid Island.

Probably because of the artist's talent.

While the girl explains, she will also add oil and vinegar to the details.

The whole process is portrayed as a wonderful and wonderful adventure.

When this topic is over, Haruka also perceives an interesting detail with the insight he cultivated while reviewing the script.

The girl's gaze shifted to Lindsay, who was unwrapping the crab claws:

"Mr. Lindsay, can you change your physical appearance?"

"Is that the same type of skill as our actor's ability to develop [makeup]?"

Lindsay nodded immediately:

"That's right, it's a disguise!"

"If it weren't for those mermaids who had no eyes, my disguise would have been easily recognized!"

Valawala immediately leaned her head over:

"Really? I don't believe it! ”

"With the basic ability of a painter as a guarantee - Lindsay, when you change your body shape, your bones, muscles, skin, these basic physiological conditions have changed."

"I think...... Well! It's more like what life scientists can do for those who can change the body. ”

Yaoxing didn't doubt Valawala's statement at all, and then sighed:

"That's a handy ability."

"I didn't have any specific training in makeup, so I didn't sublimate the art of makeup, so I had to rely on the help of a makeup artist in the theater."

Walawala's eyes lit up:

"The make-up artist the theater assigned you, I remember Lady Connor?"

Yaoxing nodded like a little squirrel:

"That's right, it's Lady Connor."

"She worked as a makeup artist for you, too."

Walawala is in high spirits:

"yes, I remember it super clearly!"

"Especially before the last harvest day, she was dumped by the old nobles who often came to the theater. I treated her to two grilled fish burritos, four pairs of chicken wings, a pork knuckle, and two large glasses of honey liqueur. She was so comfortable after eating that she couldn't even remember what her ex-boyfriend was called! ”

Haruka's eyes widened, like a cat aroused by curiosity:

"Alas, alas! Are you sure? ”

"Such a serious Lady Connor, there is such a side!"

Walawala also leaned her head over:

"That's right."

“……”

Seeing that the topic of the two girls was getting more and more biased, Lindsey interjected and asked:

"You two, do you have any recommended gem merchants?"

"I mean, the kind of high-quality gemstones with essentia influences are not the kind that are used to make jewelry."

"Lindsay, you want to buy gems?" As soon as Walawala asked the question, she remembered Lindsay's fishing scene, "Wait, where did this gem come from...... Forget it, you're planning to sell, right? ”

Lindsey took out a piece of [High-grade Ocean Gem] as a display:

"Barter, to be precise."

"I want to trade in a fire-type gem, or collect some other types of gems as well."

Lindsay has been working tirelessly on her fishing operations these days.

Now the high-grade gems in his hand, although the type is single, the number has also accumulated a full 7!

Right now, I am in a city of thousands of sails with abundant supplies.

Naturally, there was no reason for him to miss out on this great trading opportunity.

"I'll see."

Vala Vara took the gem from Lindsay.

The girl's shining pupils and the blue luster of the gemstone reflect each other, as if reflecting a sea:

"Wow, what a clean texture, and essentia blends perfectly."

Wala Vara was quick to make a judgment:

"Normal market transactions, this grade of gems, at least 200 gold coins or more!"

Lindsey asked expectantly:

"You know so much about gemstones, you must know a lot of gem merchants, right?"

Walawala suddenly looked away:

"Uh...... That one...... Hmmm......"

"Acquaintance is acquaintance, but I haven't bought a gem in a long time......"

Lindsay reacted immediately.

These experiences are probably something that Walawala accumulated a long time ago when she was still performing in the theater.

The remote star next to him immediately opened his mouth to solve the siege:

"Lindsay, let me introduce you."

"Many jewelry dealers are willing to rent jewelry for us to display and promote, and I still know many people."

Lindsey nodded in thanks:

"I'm sorry for you."

With the Golden Rule on top of her head, Lindsay is not worried about being accomplished by an acquaintance.

After the three of them finished eating at the fish house, they walked to the messenger's embassy.

It's night, and the streets of the City of a Thousand Sails are still bustling.

Of the seven districts, the Green Zone, which is due east, has diplomatic functions and is also home to the Messenger Embassy.

The three had been walking around the city for a day.

At Lindsay's insistence, they rented a boat and rowed due east through the streets and alleys.

There are still 6 days left before the official opening of the festival.

The atmosphere in the city is also getting hotter.

Lindsay sat on the boat, looking through the night and candles, and saw a girl in a wheelchair parked at the water's edge.

She reached forward and fed some of the creatures in the water.

"Huh?"

Lindsay stared intently.

The one being fed was a pelican-like waterfowl with a bag on its jaw.

This bird is quite huge.

To put it bluntly, as long as it opens its mouth and rushes forward, the disabled person who feeds the waterfowl will most likely fall into the water if it does not swallow it in one gulp.

"These birds seem to be more greedy."

"Aren't you afraid of danger when feeding such a big bird?"

This time it was Yaoxing who explained to Lindsay:

"In the vicinity of the City of Thousand Sails, there are no dangerous creatures in the sea, which is absolutely reassuring!"

Walawala also leaned over and took a mouthful:

"By the way, those mermaids in the Red Sea like to swim in the river."

"But if you want to see them again, you'll have to wait until after March."

Lindsay counted the time:

"That looks like it's no fun."

Today is February 3rd.

In six days, the festival will be officially held.

When the month-long event is over, and after another week, Lindsay will be out of here.

No matter how you analyze it.

There's no way he'll ever have any more communication with those merfolk in the Red Sea.

However, thinking of this, Lindsay suddenly remembered the mermaid who was caught by herself.

He recalled the other party's gaze when he looked at him, and inexplicably felt a chill down his spine, and his tone began to be weak:

"I guess, we won't see each other again, will we?"

“……”

"Look there, it's the Messenger!"

Walawala's shouts interrupted Lindsay's hypothesis.

It's on the left side of the river ahead.

On a grey rock foundation, stands a spectacular duplex building.

At the top of the main building of the Embassy, there is an eight-pointed star marker that is extremely eye-catching, resembling the symbol of the North Star.

"It's big enough ......"

Lindsay sighed in a low voice.

The Messenger Embassy here is far more magnificent than the courtyard of Mimorina.

Even in the middle of the night, a dense flow of people comes and goes here.

Whether it's a guest, or a hard-working messenger.

People are stepping on the neat blue brick road in front of the embassy all the time.

The mediators are hard to tell from the crowd, but in celebration of the festival, the Messenger's beast whisperers are also rehearsing with their animal companions.

Lindsay and the two girls walked in.

When she came to the front desk of work, Lindsey didn't immediately ask about the situation on Mermaid Island.

Thinking of Hong, who still had no news, he took out the token he had obtained in the forest garden, and asked the messenger in front of him:

"Excuse me, do you have any news here?"
