Chapter 452: Delivery En Route
Chapter 452: Delivery En Route
"Let's head to the Stonemason's Guild first and deposit the small sculptures that Ray and Hall regularly purchase."
"After that, it's time for a dedicated delivery."
"Cota had requested a painting of a sunset over an island, and he specifically sought me out for this commission. Today is the deadline for the artwork's completion."
On the way to the heart of the Primrose District.
Wah Wah Wah enthusiastically discussed her work.
Lindsey also recalled the situation during their first encounter.
Wah Wah Wah's appearance on Cator Island was likely for the purpose of creating this sunset island painting.
"So, you came to paint during our first meeting?"
Wah Wah Wah smiled and replied, "Actually, I was there for a vacation—painting was just a convenient way to gather inspiration."
"In that case, Cota's commission is indeed what brought us together."
"..."
"Wah Wah Wah, Lindsey, good afternoon!"
"The sun is shining brightly today, but it's not too scorching! Wishing you both a wonderful time in this pleasant weather."
Continuing their journey, they encountered numerous statues along the way, all of which seemed to have a favorable opinion of Wah Wah Wah.
Lindsey, not a member of the Stonemason's Guild, was also included in the conversation, which was quite a coincidence.
In Thousand Sails City, the statues also served as a means of conveying messages.
When Lindsey first arrived in Thousand Sails City,
at the port office, he offered a sunshade umbrella to the statue at the entrance, and this news gradually spread over the next few days, earning him a positive reputation among the statues.
...
The Stonemason's Guild was located directly below the orange tower.
White stone steps led to a building resembling a block of bread, creating a solemn atmosphere akin to Greek temples, enhancing the architectural ensemble.
People in various attire came and went, depositing goods in a hurry.
Neither Lindsey nor Remstar were members of the Stonemason's Guild, so they could only wait at the entrance while Wah Wah Wah went inside to deposit the goods.
Standing outside.
Remstar, thinking of the statues they encountered on the way, had a subtle tone in her voice.
As a theater star, she was accustomed to being the center of attention when out and about.
But in the vibrant Primrose District, the situation was quite different.
Remstar was certain—if she were to step down from her star status, she would still garner attention from the people.
However, that kind of attention.
was distinct from the warm greetings even the statues offered.
Lindsey smiled and said, "After all, Wah Wah Wah and I live in the Primrose District."
"If we were in the Blue District, even if you, Remstar, drew attention, it would be different from the fascination we both command."
Remstar slightly lowered her head,
"Being in the public eye... no, it's different from the attention Wah Wah Wah and I receive."
"Hey!"
Just then, Wah Wah Wah rushed out, her eyes wide with urgency.
She had quickly deposited the goods at the Stonemason's Guild and, upon seeing Lindsey and Remstar standing in the square, her eyes narrowed as if she had caught them in the act: "What were you two talking about just now?"
Lindsey immediately responded,
"Just discussing the statues on the street, as they are quite unique."
"..."
"Just the statues?"
Wah Wah Wah looked at Lindsey, then at Remstar,
"..."
Until she felt a bit uncomfortable, she took the initiative to hold the hands of the two and continued to lead the way towards the other end of the Orange Zone.
With the delivery of the Stone Masonry Guild's goods, the remaining task was to deliver the painting.
The three of them followed the riverbank path and eventually stopped in front of a fortress-like steel structure, where Wah Wah Wah paused.
Lindsey looked up and saw a metal sign hanging at the entrance of this steel-framed building.
"Steel Eagle - Architecture and Interior Design Center?"
Wah Wah Wah explained:
"The people here are all engaged in interior design or house design."
"The person I mentioned earlier who I wanted to introduce you to also works here."
The Design Center didn't have as strict entry and exit management as the Stone Masonry Guild.
Lindsey and Yaostar followed Wah Wah Wah inside.
This design center was like a giant Rubik's cube, entirely constructed from square metal frames, with almost no space wasted.
On the third floor of the steel giant.
A man in a black suit saw Wah Wah Wah and immediately greeted him enthusiastically:
"Wah Wah Wah, you're here!"
The man's gaze turned to Lindsey and Yaostar:
"And, who are these two?"
Wah Wah Wah enthusiastically introduced them, but the latter half was a bit awkward:
"This is Lindsey, my good friend! And this is my apprentice, let's call him Friend Number 1!"
Lindsey clearly noticed.
Yaostar's body trembled slightly beside him.
However, this designer had no intention of delving into secrets. He just smiled and nodded at the two:
"It's an honor to meet both of you."
"Wah Wah Wah, did you come here to pick up the order I placed last time?"
Wah Wah Wah confidently took the gray package from Yaostar's hand and handed it over:
"Of course, take a look at it!"
The man took the package and unwrapped the gray cloth.
The painting depicted a lifelike island, bathed in a beautiful orange-red afterglow, everything was magnificent, yet it also revealed a hint of melancholy at sunset.
"Perfectly meets the requirements!"
"As always, the quality is exceptional!"
"Wah Wah Wah, haven't you considered becoming a painter and making your debut in the Purple Zone?"
Wah Wah Wah shook his head in rejection:
"Running a small business is my current pursuit."
"Making a debut and becoming famous, even if it's just a dream."
The man felt a bit disappointed, but he didn't force the issue. He led Wah Wah Wah to the back studio:
"Come, let me settle the payment for the goods."
"I have a feeling that Lady Peche will be satisfied with this design!"
"..."
The two of them stayed in the lobby to look around while Lindsey and Yaostar remained in the front hall.
Suddenly, a commotion erupted from the neighboring studio, drawing their attention.
"Sir, please take a look at my design!"
"..."
"You don't have any Primordial Skills, so don't be ridiculous here."
"..."
"There are still three years until the next Harvest Day. Be patient and wait; maybe you'll make it by then!"
"..."
Lindsey and Yaostar glanced over.
They saw a middle-aged man being pushed out of the neighboring studio, with thick sheets of paper falling to the ground.
A sigh came from within the studio:
"If you want to make money, don't joke about going to such a place!"
"An ordinary person going to such a place, don't you think about whether you can come out alive?"
The middle-aged man maintained a calm and respectful attitude.
He just looked at the scene inside the studio and replied seriously:
"Even so, I will not choose to give up."
