A Messenger's Side Business

Ailini The figure driving the carriage disappeared into the street.

Linsey watched the other party leave and prepared to return to the store.

Before he gets the next profit, his life will definitely return to daily life and continue to run the store.

In his spare time, he went fishing and studied the ancient texts he had obtained previously.

It can be regarded as a stable day after the adventure.

Gu——

Linsey The door was halfway closed, and at this moment, a strange voice suddenly sounded from the side.

He turned around and looked.

He is the child who was previously entrusted with delivering letters to Ailini.

Although the other party is young, he has a delicate mind.

Not only did he send a letter to Ailini, but he also confirmed that after the merchant girl rushed to Linsey, she returned to the street specifically.

After all, it is a communication between awakened people.

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

But the result was - after standing here for a long time, my stomach couldn't bear it anymore and started to growl.

"..."

Linsey glanced down.

Seeing that the other party was about to leave, he directly issued an invitation to the child. "Wait! Ailini and I still have some things to finish. Can you help me deal with it?"

The boy paused.

Linsey didn't directly say that he was giving away food, to a certain extent, he was taking care of his feelings. How could a child living on the street not understand? The boy turned around, his eyes flickering. "Mr. Linsey, is it really okay?"

Linsey completely opens the store door:

"Come in, won't the food be wasted if left there?"

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

Taking out [Spicy Rainbow Fish Casserole] to entertain the other party may cause trouble.

So Linsey just got some ordinary food for the other party.

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

So he reciprocated the favor and asked Linsey a question before leaving, "Mr. Linsey, I just heard your farewell to Miss Ailini at the door. Do you plan to find some information?"

Linsey asked curiously, "Do you have any experience in this field?"

The boy nodded vigorously:

"I know a place."

"South City's Red Apricot Road has Messenger Hall over there. As long as you find the right person and give them money, you can get some information."

As soon as he finished speaking, the child turned around and ran away.

He was also holding an uneaten loaf of bread in his arms. It might have been for his companions, or it might have been a reserve grain for himself.

"..."

Linsey watched the other party leave.

He returned to the store, found the sign saying the store was closed, hung it up, and followed the other party's reminder and walked towards Red Apricot Road.

The function of the Messenger Hall is similar to that of a post office, but its specific services are richer.

Next to the main building made of bricks and wood is a rather large shed-style building. Occasionally, you can hear the sounds of various beasts inside, like a circus in training.

The messenger's World Main City is Starhorn City.

But they are not the only protagonists, the mediators and Beast Language divisions are also important components, and the beast here comes from the last party.

Linsey walked into the front hall of the Messenger Hall.

In this kind of frontier land, the mailing business is always very busy.

Many people lined up in front of the counter to communicate with the courier and send their letters or items. Every time the business was settled, the sound of mechanical tools could be heard faintly behind the counter, which should also be related to the work of the messenger.

There are no waiters to serve Linsey in a place like this.

He stood in the front hall and glanced around with sharp eyes.

Sure enough——

Nothing was seen! Then Linsey switched the skill module to [Decryption Game] 0.

Objects in the field of view then begin to appear distinctive.

The necklaces around some people's necks have been highlighted; some people's clothes have inexplicable marks; and the envelopes in someone's hands have become awkward.

From this perspective, Linsey discovered a special guy.

This is a young man, one of the messengers, sitting in front of a pile of letters.

But none of the letters in front of him shone with special clues. Linsey After waiting for a few minutes, the other party seemed to be working, but the envelope in front of him was almost untouched.

Occasionally, a work companion will whisper a few words in this man's ear.

——This is the person.

Linsey saw the clue and walked forward directly.

The messenger also spotted Linsey in front of him. He squinted for a few seconds and quickly realized:

"Are you...Mr. Linsey?"

Linsey nodded.

The messenger smiled and stood up to shake hands with Linsey:

"I know you. Some time ago, we had a partner here deliver a package to you. Is there a question about that delivery?"

Linsey shook his head:

"No, I have some personal matters that I would like to seek help from."

Messengers are also skilled in the business:

"You want to send something too?"

Linsey came closer and lowered his voice:

"I want to get some information from you."

"..."

The messenger was silent for a moment, but the smile on his face did not change.

He immediately pushed the chair behind the desk, stretched out his hand to guide Linsey, and walked towards the back of the Messenger Hall.

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

The two walked through the corridor behind the Messenger Hall.

They came to a room that looked like a reception room. The other party poured a glass of water for Linsey, and then asked, "Mr. Linsey, what information do you want to know?"

Linsey thought for a while before speaking, "I want to find news about a girl."

"Her name is Hong. Her hair is half black and half white, and her eyes are as bright as flames. In the previous battle with the enemy, she was accidentally teleported to an unknown world by a random magic circle..."

The messenger listened quietly to Linsey's story.

During this period, I also wrote down this information on a note.

It was only after Linsey finished describing Hong's appearance and character that he replied with a hint of regret:

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

"..."

Linsey thought about it carefully, and finally he added the most accurate information, "Hong is at least the awakened one of Seventh Stage. Now... even Eighth Stage wouldn't be surprised."

"..."

"Poof!"

"Cough-cough-cough-cough-!"

The messenger was directly choked by Linsey's answer.

He tried to calm down, then looked at the note in his hand, crumpled it into a ball, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Wait for the messenger to look up again.

His expression when looking at Linsey also became subtle and cautious. "Mr. Linsey, it's not easy to find information about such... people."

Linsey replied flatly, "I just want to know which world she is in now?"

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

The messenger replied with a grimace, "It's hard to put a price on this kind of work."

"If we get the news here, we will discuss the cost with you."

"Please wait here for a moment."

With that said, the messenger left the house and returned to Linsey after a few minutes.

He took out a metal plate and handed it over. Some special symbols were engraved on it, which should be secret codes and so on.

Linsey makes an appraisal.

This is a sign used by couriers to confirm customer information.

Even if he is no longer in this world in the future, he can rely on this brand to prove his identity as a client.

Linsey confirmed:

"So as long as you take out this sign where there is Messenger Hall, you can confirm the news with the local staff?"

The messenger nodded:

"Yes, if we can find the red lady."

Speaking of which.

Linsey originally wanted to change the topic and ask about soldiers-related news.

But the messenger in front of him offered to trade:

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

This time the messenger offered the price:

"If you are willing, this news will be sold for 5 crude gold coins - it has something to do with the Lookout Point City you stayed at before."

Linsey took out five gold coins very simply:

"Please speak."

The messenger accepted the gold coins and began to tell, "According to our news, after you and Miss Ailini left, Lookout Point City had a conflict."

"Among them, Merchant Kuit, was defeated in public by Law Knight Han Si Ke, and is currently being escorted under the supervision of Life School's high-level officials."

"If nothing else, they will arrive at Nine Bends City in two days."
