Magic Merchant Racial Anecdote
Chapter 39 The Waiting Sentinel
Witt looked at the advertisement floating above Rhodes City, his rare mind went blank, and he didn't think about anything.
He has always been very confident in his spiritual power, even conceited. As the only "Dark Sentinel" left on this continent, he thinks he can perceive everything that happens in his own domain, even if there are people on the edge of the city. Even the slightest disturbance can be clearly reflected in his mind.
However, the news that appeared on his spiritual network now, he couldn't perceive any information at all. How did it appear?Who sent it with spiritual power?For what purpose was it sent?
He knew nothing.
The unknown is awe-inspiring. Werther closed his eyes and felt that the 'sentinels' in the city had noticed the news as he did. They were discussing the above content noisily, and all kinds of speculations were clamoring. It became noisy.
It was too noisy, Werther frowned uncomfortably, and the peregrine falcon in his mind spread its wings and honked loudly.
The noisy voice disappeared, he blocked the other 'sentinels' in the thinking network, and began to seriously analyze the too conspicuous and sudden message in front of him.
Looking at the content, this is an advertisement for a company called 'Delai Transportation Company'. Since even he can't find the sender, it can be seen that the person who posted this advertisement has mental power far beyond imagination.
If the content written above about the transfer of planes, logistics and distribution of all planes, etc. is true, then this news is very likely... It is a message from another world.
Or, simply not 'people', but some other race.That's right, if it is possible for mermaids to exist, then why is it surprising that there are more advanced creatures in the world, or more worlds?
The more he knows, the more he feels insignificant. It was because he was too conceited in the past, thinking that he is omniscient and omnipotent, and everything is under his control.
At least, now he has a way to find his little guide.Werther laughed at himself, unfolded his mental power, and connected to the message.

On the other side, Alai, who had finished his meal, took Ned and Xiaolong to find a remote store in Xiyan Country and activated his magic.The moment I opened the door, I came to the coordinate marked 'Rhodes Continent'.
It was almost midnight outside the door, under the starless and moonless sky, the neon lights of the city were reflected on the 'tower' not far away.
"It looks like that's the meeting place agreed by the client." Ah Lai said, raising his eyes to look at their destination. It was a pitch-black hexagonal tower, made of unknown material, with a slightly smooth surface. The reflected light seems to be projecting all the things that are close to it.
"That building is a bit strange, my perception has been blocked." Ned's voice was a little low.Standing behind Alai, he frowned uncomfortably. Ever since they appeared here, he always had the feeling of being watched, but he couldn't tell where this feeling came from.
Accompanied by this ubiquitous 'line of sight', they walked all the way towards the direction of the 'high tower'.
Different from what it looks like from a distance, the nearby 'high tower' is more like an office building of a certain company. The modern glass door reveals a brightly lit reception hall. It may be because it is already very late, and there is no Not many people.
They walked into the glass door that slid open silently, explained their purpose to a male staff member on duty at the front desk, and boarded the elevator under the guidance.
A Lai pressed the top floor smoothly, and the elevator went up all the way after a slight shake.
"嘤嘤嘻~" The pressure caused by the high-speed upward elevator made Xiaolong crawl out of Ned's pocket uncomfortably, and acted like a baby to Alai pitifully.
"We'll be there soon. Be good when you meet the client." Alai reluctantly took Xiaolong, held him in his palm, stroked his back soothingly, and discussed with him.
"Let me hold it, so that he won't run around later and you won't be able to catch him." Ned stood there silently watching for a while, and said in a sour tone.
Ah took a look at the energetic little dragon, and then at his very thin arm compared with Ned. After a moment of silence, he handed the little dragon back.
'Ding! 'Just as they were discussing about Xiaolong, the elevator arrived.
Behind the metal door is a long corridor covered with sound-absorbing carpets, without any decoration, as quiet as a tomb.At the end of the corridor was a door that was ajar, and a warm yellow light was projected through the crack of the door.
The atmosphere of this horror story caused goosebumps on Alai's arms. He approached Ned without a trace, secretly pinched the hem of his clothes, and continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.
They walked quickly across the corridor to the dark door.Ned pushed open the door before Alai knocked, and the light streamed down.
Behind the door is a small room. The black marble floor reflects the soft light on the ceiling. There is almost nothing in the room, except for two metal chairs, which still look very uncomfortable. .
And right in the middle of such a room, stood a man.The man in front of him was pale, with sharp smoky gray eyes, wearing loose clothing, and the silk top softened the aggressiveness in his eyes.
"Hi, I've been waiting for you for a long time." He looked like he had just suffered a serious illness, his voice was a little hoarse, and he was trying to stand there, nodding politely to Alai and Ned.
"Hi, we are Delai Transportation Company. Nice to meet you. How should I address you?" Alai stood in front of Ned by a wrong step and responded with a professional smile.
"Werther, just call me Wirter. I'm sorry, I thought there was only one guest, so I didn't prepare a chair. Please wait a moment, I'll ask someone to bring another chair up." Werther said apologetically , and ask the 'sentries' stationed on other floors to help move another chair through the spiritual network.
"It's okay, you're too polite." Ah Lai replied, looking at Werther, who was in a daze, and blinked suspiciously.
"He should be communicating with other people in a certain way, and I can feel the energy around him." Seemingly seeing Alai's doubts, Ned leaned closer to him and said in a low voice.
While they were talking, Werther also ended the communication, and with his excellent hearing, he heard Ned's whisper.Someone who doesn't know the ability of 'Sentry' but can feel the energy fluctuations is another strong proof that the person in front of him is not from this world, Werther thought silently.
Chairs were brought up quickly, and they sat down separately.
To Alai's surprise, the chair is not uncomfortable to sit on, but supports the back properly. Although it looks like a metal material, it is not cold, and is closer to human body temperature.
And when Alai was still surprised by the comfort of the chair, Werther spoke first: "Before our conversation begins, I need to apologize to you first."
Without waiting for Alai to be polite, he continued: "I lied to you about the order content, but I actually don't know where the person I'm looking for is."
After speaking, he stared closely at Alai and Ned, observing their reactions.
"Mr. Witt, if the order is not true, our company can unilaterally cancel the order, and you need to pay 10% of the full order amount, which is 500 grams of gold, as required. Do you understand this?" Ah Lai asked without changing his tone.
His expression was very calm.Before coming here, he probably thought that this kind of situation would happen, but since the other party paid a high fee for some reason, it would be worthwhile to make a trip for nothing.Alai thought happily.
"Of course, but I still hope that you can try to find someone for me. I will pay the corresponding reward no matter whether it is successful or not." Werther was also mentally prepared for this. In fact, Alai's reaction was better than he expected. The best estimate is even better.
Hearing this, Alai sized up the man in front of him, he complained in his heart about the wicked rich man.But after all, this condition is indeed very attractive, and it doesn't take much effort.
"Since you have mentioned this, we can try, but there is no guarantee that we will find it." Alai promised cautiously.
"Thank you very much. We are looking for the minimum from now on? Do I need to do anything?" Werther's pale face finally recovered a little color, and he thanked slightly.
"If it's convenient, can I ask the name of the person you're looking for? Or do you have more detailed information, such as photos and videos?" Alai asked.
"There are no photos, but I know his name and the name of the place where he lives." Witte replied.
"? With all due respect, since you know where he lives, why don't you go directly to him?" Alai asked in bewilderment.
"Because the person I'm looking for is a bit special. Strictly speaking, he can't be regarded as a human being..." Werther briefly told Alai and Ned what happened between him and Avery this year.
"That is to say, what you are looking for is a mermaid named Ellie who lives in a country named Poseidon. And this Mr. Ellie has red hair and six older brothers. Is that so?" After listening to Werther's words, Alai simply concluded.
"Yes." Victor nodded.
"Now that you know your name and place of residence, it should be relatively easy to find. Before I actually start looking, I have to confirm one thing with you. Have you ever thought... this Mr. Avery may not be in this world, But live somewhere else?" Alai asked with a serious expression.
"...I did have a little speculation about this." Werther closed his eyes and was silent for a while before finally answering.
In fact, he had vaguely guessed very early on, as early as the first time he found out that his little guide was a mermaid, he had thought of this possibility.
But he has been avoiding thinking about this possibility, because if this is the case, with his ability, he will never be able to see Avery.
He would rather continue the useless search than despair.
"Since you have this idea, it's easy to say. I suspect that the Ellie mermaid you're looking for lives in another plane, but don't worry, as long as you find it and the other party is willing, we can transfer the human It was brought in front of you." Alai said.
Now, on the basis of finding people, a plane transfer fee can be added, which can't make more money.A Lai thought while comforting Werther.
And amid Werther's emotionally complex thanks, he entered all the information he asked just now into the system, and let the system automatically help match the planes to see which world Avery lived in.
The search ended unexpectedly quickly. There are a total of 39 countries named "Poseidon" in the registered planes, and 17 of them live with mermaids. However, only one of the mermaids' appearance is exactly the same as Werther's description. . ——The 'Poseidon' mermaid country located in the sixth district.
"I found it. But he is not in the plane we are in now." Alai said to Werther.
"That is to say, we are not in the same world? Is that what you mean?" Werther, who was already mentally prepared, asked softly.
"Yes." Alai nodded bluntly.
"No wonder, we can't find each other no matter what." Werther muttered to himself, depressed for a while, and then recovered quickly.
"Then can I trouble you to take me to him?" Werther asked.
"Of course, but you don't have to go in person, we can help you bring people here." Alai dutifully offered Witt another solution.
"It's different, I have to go find him, I promised him." Werther's hoarse voice softened, his little guide was so innocent and timid, he had to pick him up.
"If I take you there, I will charge double the fee, are you sure?" Alai asked.
"I'm sure, I'm sorry to trouble you." Werther said firmly, just like when he decided to set off to find Eli at the beginning, his eyes were bright and bright.
