After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1444

Chapter 1444: Bart’s Letter Exchange

Where words travel freely, so too does fortune find its way.

As a mercenary, he might have a rough idea about what this meant by instinct. However, it was only in Alterra that he truly understood.

Considering the current trend, Alterra would only become more and more well-known, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if he’d see people several thousands of kilometers away heading here just to see it. The Post Office would be instrumental to this development.

Another interesting difference in the Post Office in Alterra was its Alert System. For a couple of silver for foreigners (and one for locals) they could activate this add-on.

When a letter in their name appeared, a Letterboy (or girl) would hunt for them, alerting them that they had a letter in the Post Office. This would save the waiting time, and they could use that time to go around, have fun, learn more, and maybe earn more.

That said, Bart and the others used this service a lot, because they exchanged a lot of letters back home as well as with their allies. Regardless of whether something big had happened, it was their duty to report information back to the main base.

Mercenaries traveled a lot, and they lived on the edge. Their lives could be forfeited due to the lack of information.

They were relatively well informed, and their own Mercenary team had established a system of passing information around. They were also written in code.

It wasn’t that they did not trust Alterra—on the contrary, they did—but their internal code was a system that their mercenary group applied to every member.

After all, through various methods and generations of existence, they naturally knew of the Lords’ access to the Posts.

Their Mercenary team, the Rolan Mercenary Team, had devised their own code, which had been perfected through the years. It was still using the same language, but certain seemingly innocuous words actually meant something else.

As a leader of a team, Bart was also updated with news from elsewhere. The news was centered in their region for the most part, which was far West from here, though.

For example, Voumi seemed to have some tensions with Valov Town.

For some reason, visitors from Valov were found dead, and all signs pointed to Hesso, the unofficial heir. The two towns had little to do with their Twinwave Town, but they were also not too far either. Everyone nearby was asked to monitor the changes.

Other news included which territory went to war with whom in their area, which one fell, what were the priority missions, if there were strong monster sightings, et cetera.

For a mercenary team in a Town, Rolan Mercenary’s information network is among the top in their tier.

There were also a few lookout alerts.

For example, there seemed to have been Dwarves spotted somewhere in the region...

In fact, based on their descriptions, neither was Bart. While the weapons were powerful, it was inconsistent with what he knew they could make. He hadn’t seen it himself but, according to his old bosses who had the fortune of seeing a successful dwarven weapon, it was an inferior product.
