Old Sen always manages to come up with unexpected things.
"Lily, quickly show me the list!"
Yue said immediately, and he seemed to hear the name of Beyond. If he remembered correctly, she was the Empire’s Knight Commander. Not long ago, a merchant ship brought back news that the Royal Knight Order had returned to the Neseriel Sanctuary and was now only in name; Knight Commander Beyond died in battle at the Empire’s border.
During his visit to the Imperial Capital, Beyond was one of the few people who left a deep impression on him. Her name sounded quite distant from the Empire’s people, and she was very straightforward and knew the capital’s cuisine well. Every night, she expanded their knowledge considerably. Upon learning of Beyond’s death, Yue sighed several times. Since then, he had been following the Empire’s situation, but the caravan never brought back any more news.
He carefully read the list and saw the "Old Sen Magical Technology Phone 2.0 Beta Version" that Lily had mentioned. The front of the list also noted that it was a benefit from Old Sen Magic Technology Store for loyal customers. The back detailed the methods of connecting communication, with several energy crystals inside the shell and many devices he had never seen before. By tapping at different frequencies, one could tune into specific channels.
However, as it was still in the beta version, and to ensure customer privacy, only when both customers agree can they obtain each other’s communication frequencies.
As the only user outside the Empire, Yue could only contact Old Sen Magical Technology’s customer service desk.
"It’s definitely Old Sen; his store is getting bigger and bigger, not just limited to magical Scrolls anymore!"
Yue was filled with delight, while becoming more annoyed at the council’s obstruction of the establishment of magical teleportation points.
Originally, according to his plan, once the magical teleportation points were established, he could quickly get in touch with Old Sen. He highly regarded Old Sen’s capabilities and planned to invest a large sum of money, solving problems like shops and materials for his store and establishing a long-term cooperation model.
But then the council’s interference delayed everything!
Lily bowed her head, her cheeks flushed.
Just now, the phone kept ringing "duu-luu-luu-luu," making her worry it might electrocute or bite someone, which made her look inexperienced again.
During the last voyage, she had been told off for a long time and told Yue young master many jokes, including scalp massage and ear cleaning services. Even the sailors inclined towards her couldn’t turn a blind eye to the endless ice spikes, and said Yue had been fooled. Upon returning to the country, these ice arrow Scrolls were immediately sent by young master to coastal cities plagued by sea monsters, solving the sea monster problem.
But what happened next puzzled her.
Even as a maid, she could see how powerful these magical Scrolls were; logically, the council should have eagerly sought to cooperate with Heisenberg. However, the result was a firm rejection of Yue young master’s proposal and led to his confinement.
"Come, Lily, I’ll teach you how to use it."
Yue interrupted Lily’s thoughts, moving inside a bit and patting the mattress, signaling her to sit beside him, "From now on, you’ll be the important liaison officer."
"Liaison officer?... I’m just a maid, I can’t handle such an important job, young master, you should hire someone more capable."
"I trust in your abilities, and more importantly, you’re one of the few people I can trust."
As Lily took a seat, Yue, also with the same apprehensive mood, followed the list’s instructions and tapped out the communication frequency.
Meanwhile, Beyond stretched in the Imperial Capital office.
As a member of Old Sen Magical Technology, she also voluntarily took over the customer service work, which still seemed quite novel to her.
This is pioneering technology; the newly established cabinet reached a long-term cooperation agreement with Old Sen Magical Technology. They are helping the cabinet set up communication points in major cities of the Empire, completely breaking past letter-style communication methods.
The Empire’s information communication was slow and closed in the past; it was like such a major upheaval occurred in the capital, yet many cities knew nothing about it, and half the people upon hearing Beyond’s name said she was a ghost.
Beyond stretched and glanced at Rowena lying in an electric wheelchair opposite her, the latter warily hiding the remaining bottle of guava juice under the table.
"You’re being too stingy, aren’t you?"
"Although guava juice’s value is not high, some goods’ prices can skyrocket in special environments and periods."
Rowena pulled out her set of theories, "It’s currently such a situation. I only brought three bottles. If I drink them all, I have to go home to fetch more, and the round trip takes nearly an hour in the electric wheelchair!"
She foresaw the nature of the customer service work, knowing it strains the voice. Since morning, she made all necessary preparations. Unlike Beyond, who arrived empty-handed with a craving, staring at her guava juice without drinking water.
"I’ll treat you to lunch, that should make us even, right?"
Rowena thought for a moment, then said, "You’ll have to treat me to lunch worth more than 64 silver antelopes to match the guava juice’s value."
"Is your guava made of gold?"
The shell phone on the desk rang. Beyond effortlessly opened the shell; after a morning of work, she was already familiar with the process, "Hello, this is Beyond, and we’re Old Sen Magic Technology Store."
"Beyond? Knight Commander? It’s really you?"
