Chapter 308: Convoy

The apprentice of the River Beach Chamber of Commerce left in disgrace.

After watching the other party leave, Lindsay hugged Elini and returned to his shop together.

After closing the shop door, he teased the girl beside him:

"Elini, when did I become your lover?"

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

"What should I do? You can't say that you are the maker of stockings!"

This answer confirmed Lindsay's previous speculation.

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

They couldn't confirm Elini's exact source of goods.

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

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

Danger came quietly.

However, this phenomenon also means good news.

Lindsay enthusiastically took out the syrup, dissolved a cup of sugar water, and handed it to Elini's table:

"So it seems that your sales of stockings last night were good?"

Elini took a sip, leaned back, and lay on the rocking chair made by Lindsay:

"Humph! More than good?"

"You were not here last night, and I didn't see the eyes of those young masters and young ladies."

"The hundreds of gold coins for buying medicine can probably be earned in less than a month!"

Elini put down the water cup, and she was also a little excited.

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

From the fourth stage to the fifth stage.

-The upgrader.

Thinking of this, Elini bit her lip.

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

Till now, more than ten years have passed quietly.

During this period, Elini also encountered two opportunities, but due to fate, she was always a little short.

Now, on this business trip to the border of the world.

I have caught hope again.

Elini stared at the water cup in front of her.

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

Elini looked at Lindsay again.

Today, let alone using the name of lover to help Lindsay to block the people from the River Beach Chamber of Commerce. Even if something really happened, she could consider it.

At the same time.

Lindsay next to her was also lamenting the speed of the merchants' actions:

"Speaking of which, the people from the River Beach Chamber of Commerce acted really fast."

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

Elini took it for granted:

"They are businessmen who take money as their foundation. They regard these things, sometimes even more important than their own lives, so they act quickly."

Lindsay praised Elini:

"But your attitude when facing money is a little different."

Elini laughed.

She was very pleased and then explained in detail:

"That's because I focus on the transaction process itself, and I'm not from the same faction as them. The essence of money and the essence of transaction may be similar in appearance, but the core is actually very different."

At this point, Elinni also became interested and gave Lindsay an example:

"Let me put it this way - if we, who are in the nature of transaction, take someone's life by accident, we will feel guilty like normal people;

But for those guys who are in the nature of money, their first reaction is to conceal the truth and minimize their losses. If the facts are revealed, their second reaction is not to apologize or express their guilt, but to directly ask you 'How much compensation?'"

Lindsay couldn't help shaking his head and said:

"White If the City of Gold is full of people like this, it would be a hell on earth."

"Hell on earth?" Elini raised her eyebrows, "Your adjective is quite appropriate."

"The City of Platinum is divided into three districts. The Tower District is completely controlled by businessmen who value money. The situation of the poor there really deserves this title!"

Lindsay said:

"So on the contrary, for the wealthy awakeners, it is heaven?"

Elini shrugged her shoulders and gave a more accurate statement:

"Whether you are an awakener or not, it's okay to have money."

"Money is the only criterion for measuring a person's value - as long as you can accept this statement, in the Tower District, your fate will depend on your own ability."

"..."

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

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

"Before in Lookout City, Kuite obviously wanted to drag me to Yaoyue City. Do you think this Yalikun might have received this news?"

Elini asked back:

"Are you worried that the two of them will team up to cheat you?"

Lindsay nodded and admitted:

"Yes."

Elini shook her head slightly and handed Lindsay the half-full cup of sugar water in front of her:

"Don't worry, merchants are not a monolithic entity."

"Especially these money-oriented guys. Even if they are in a chamber of commerce, they are still close partners on the surface and can go hunting together. But if it involves only one interest relationship, they can also be hungry wolves that bite each other's flesh and blood."

"They won't hand over the information in their hands casually."

After exchanging their views on merchants.

Elini also brought the topic back to the transaction itself:

"Lindsay, if nothing unexpected happens, orders should arrive today. Should you prepare enough goods?"

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

"I have these on hand now."

"If you want more, go and purchase the raw materials. I will take time to go there tonight or tomorrow morning and prepare as much stock as possible for you."

Elini took the stockings.

The things in front of her are her chance to advance to the fifth stage, so she naturally has to check the quality of the goods meticulously:

"This time, I'm going to empty my own family."

Elini sighed while confirming the quality of the goods in her hand.

The output of Lindsay's [Workbench] is more stable than the assembly line.

She is naturally very satisfied.

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

"Lindsay, I will stay at the Chamber of Commerce from tonight to tomorrow morning... Forget it, I'd better change my place and rent a room independently. I will send someone to inform you of the specific location later."

"..."

In the room, Lindsay and Elini discussed the transaction.

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

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

If Lindsay or Elini were present, they would recognize how special the situation here was.

The Law Knight Hansike sat in front of the prisoner car, acting as the driver and escort.

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

The person imprisoned in the cage was no one else.

It was the big businessman who was still active in Lookout Point City a few months ago-Quite!

One of them was escorted in the prisoner car, and the other was concentrating on the journey.

The former had a confident smile on his face, while the latter was meticulous, firm and steady.

"Hansike, why are you doing this?"

"If you escort me to Yaoyue City and hand me over to the guild for disposal, the most you will get is a fine. Isn't it the same if I go there myself?"

"You can't behead me in public for an unconfirmed crime, right?"

The Law Knight in front said in a serious tone:

"The result may not be different, but the process is equally important."

"You merchants concealed the discovery of the forest veins and even violently developed them! The consequences of this incident are very bad. You must give an explanation to everyone in the forest courtyard!"

Quite was puzzled by this:

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

Hearing the conversation between the two.

Qing Yi, who was traveling with the convoy, expressed his support to Hansike, and also shouted at Kuite:

"Secret development is of course just a small mistake!"

"But you should never put the entire forest in danger just to interfere with our team entering Black Mountain. Do you know how crazy this is?"

Quite turned a deaf ear to the accusation of the life scholar.

He only looked at Hansike in front of him and persuaded the representative of the law:

"To be honest, Hansike, we are indeed responsible for the riots in the forest. But this is not to delay the life scholar's team from entering Black Mountain. Everything is just a coincidence!"

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

"I will also be in trouble if I lose control of my industry. I agree with this escort, but I should also be given a certain degree of freedom, right?"

"..."

The Law Knight said nothing and just drove.

[I can't sleep, so I'll add one more chapter. That's it. 】
