Chapter 321: Depart Immediately
Chapter 321: Depart Immediately
"The Law Enforcement Knight escorting prisoners, the Organizer's managed city, and Harvest Day in the fall..."
Lindsey thought about the current time.
Today is August 1st, and Harvest Day is in September every year.
"Although it's only a month away, these elements are a bit too coincidental."
Leaving the Messenger Hall.
He returned to his shop, still unable to stop thinking about the intelligence he had just received.
Recalling this.
His worries about his hometown resurfaced.
Although he had awakened his past life's memories, and his personality was primarily based on that, Lindsey's childhood memories in this world also held significant weight. A large part of his determination to return to the Law Capital stemmed from this.
"Father, mother, Anville Village, Alvert..."
Lindsey muttered softly.
The years of travel had long honed his resolve, and he quickly regained his composure, his face showing no signs of disturbance.
He opened the shop door.
And returned to the counter.
Lindsey thought about his plans while also glancing at his travel bag.
Among the various supplies and equipment, there were also two bodies.
They were the bodies of Defender Ethan and his beloved, Nanya, found in the underground of the Black Mountain World.
Although no one witnessed it, Lindsey had made a promise.
Sending these two for a joint burial was something he had to do.
"Hmm..."
"The Warrior Guild."
Just now, at the Messenger Hall, Lindsey had purchased this information with just one silver coin.
A hundred years ago, the expedition team had traveled through and recorded numerous worlds, including the Forest Courtyard and the Hidden Frontier.
However, the warriors from Nark Bondke primarily operated elsewhere. To fulfill this promise, he would have to cross at least two more worlds before reaching the Forest Courtyard.
Or there was another way.
In the Transcendent City, which had a teleportation array, there was a small Warrior Guild. Handing over the bodies of the two to them would not be a problem.
Lindsey had his own matters to attend to, so he naturally chose the latter.
"Teleportation Array, Transcendent City..."
"It might be a bit dangerous, but for efficiency, I must make a trip there."
Ding-a-ling—
At that moment, the bell above Lindsey's shop door was rung by another young girl wearing a floral hat, who greeted him with a smile:
"Mr. Lindsey, do you still have the lavender from last time?"
Lindsey immediately put on a welcoming smile:
"Of course, please come in!"
"..."
That night, Lindsey packed his belongings and prepared to depart.
Past experiences.
Had taught him a valuable lesson.
—When faced with sudden situations, taking swift action is crucial!
Two days later.
Law Enforcement Knight Hans Kes, merchant Kuai Te, and the life scholar would all arrive in Nine Bays City.
If he continued to linger here, he would undoubtedly attract more trouble.
Under the cover of night, Lindsey left his shop and turned to look at his house.
[Level: 2 (21/500)]
Today, he had served 21 customers, and people on the street were also starting to frequent his regular customers.
"It's a pity I can't continue my stall here."
Lindsey shook his head slightly, waved his hand to close the shop, and headed towards the business district.
As night fell, the city did not succumb to sleep.
Especially in the business district.
For those preparing to respond to the mayor's call for adventurers.
The heavy rain had ended, and the time to seize the initiative had arrived.
Merchants seized the opportunity to trade goods, and genuine smiles rarely appeared on their faces.
Elini had moved out of the residence provided by the Riverbank Chamber.
Lindsey followed his memory and found the merchant girl was not at home, as expected.
This person was also busy handling her business overnight.
Fortunately, the news of Lindsey being Elini's lover had already spread.
The night watchman didn't stop Lindsey, so he sat in Elini's house, quietly waiting for the girl's return.
...
Until late at night.
Lindsey heard the sound of a carriage stopping downstairs.
He went to the window and looked outside.
A purple figure gracefully jumped down from the carriage and handed the reins to the guard.
Elini whispered a few words to the guard.
Her face immediately changed, and she ran into the house.
"Lindsey?"
Elini and Lindsey met on the stairs inside the house.
But there was no joy on the girl's face at seeing her friend, as she had already sensed the solemn atmosphere of this meeting:
"With your temperament, you definitely wouldn't come this late to find me unless it's an urgent matter, right?"
Lindsey nodded and whispered the truth:
"I received news. In about two days, Hans Kes will escort Kuai Te to Nine Bays City. You know their opinion of me, so I shouldn't stay here any longer in this situation."
"..."
Elini opened her lips slightly but didn't speak.
She hadn't expected such a thing to happen, and she even felt a bit guilty.
If she had been in her previous merchant state, she would have constantly gathered intelligence and would never have missed such news.
But recently, she was just one step away from reaching the 5th Stage.
Her busy business state had made Elini neglect her caution in related matters.
Elini sighed, reached into her merchant space, and gestured:
"So, you're leaving?"
Lindsey nodded:
"That's right. You're my only friend in this city, so I must come to bid you farewell before I leave."
Elini took a bag full of gold coins out of her merchant space and threw it directly to Lindsey:
"Consider this an advance on next week's payment."
Lindsey didn't get sentimental about this; he took the bag and nodded solemnly in thanks:
"Elini, I'm very grateful."
Elini smiled bitterly and spread her hands:
"It's a pity that once you leave, my stocking business will suffer."
Lindsey suggested:
"Tomorrow morning or tonight, you can go buy materials, and I'll use the remaining time to prepare as much stock as possible for you."
Elini asked:
"So, you plan to leave tomorrow afternoon?"
Lindsey nodded:
"Yes, so you should make the most of your time."
Lindsey's thoughts were simple.
Elini had helped him a lot, and he didn't want to take the money and leave without doing anything in return.
The girl walked up to Lindsey and gave him a light hug.
Her soft body nestled into his embrace, but the faint fragrance from the girl quickly dissipated.
Elini's merchant personality didn't allow her to linger; she understood reality even better and turned to leave the house.
She jumped back onto the carriage and headed to the market to gather materials.
Lindsey watched the carriage quickly leaving in the darkness, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Ah..."
When they entered Nine Bays City, the two had already parted ways.
But due to various connections, their encounter had been extended for quite some time. However, after tonight:
"This farewell, I don't know when we'll meet again."
