Dorothy thought so while controlling the corpse to reach a deal with Marcosi in the distance. After signing the contract, now she only needs to wait for the Endeavour cargo ship sailing on the ocean to dock safely.

Dorothy was not worried that the Order of the Coffins would be able to track down the whereabouts of the spirits. The only information they had obtained was that their goods had been swapped for tobacco, but due to the lack of labels, they did not know the detailed information about this batch of tobacco.

There are a lot of tobacco plantations in the New World, and the tobacco trade between the New World and the Mainland has always been prosperous. In that warehouse at that time, there were many batches of tobacco goods shipped to the Mainland. They found it difficult to figure out where the tobacco in their hands was supposed to be shipped to, and now that batch of spirits was completely missing to them.

Finally, after waiting for a long time, Dorothy's corpse finally finished dealing with the matters on Marcosi's side. Then, Dorothy drove the carriage forward, retrieved the corpse from a hidden place, and finally drove north in the carriage.

After several hours' drive, Dorothy finally returned to Greenshade Town in the northern suburbs of Tivian. During this period, there was a drizzle in the sky. After arriving in Greenshade Town, she did not rush home, but went to Beverly's place first. When she got off the car and walked to the door of Bev's house with an umbrella, she saw Beverly holding an umbrella and getting ready to go out.

"Oh, I was just going to look for you to see if you were home. You're here now. It's just right. I hate raining and it's just right for me to go out less." Seeing Dorothy coming over, Beverly raised her eyebrows and said, and after hearing Beverly's words, Dorothy turned and asked.

"Looking for me? What's the matter?"

"The postal service you suggested we start has become increasingly popular recently. Look, someone sent a telegram to Thief K through us. Didn't you say that before? If there are any letters or telegrams signed to Thief K, they will be sent to you."

Beverly said this with a hint of amusement on her face. Dorothy thought that it had finally come after hearing what Beverly said, and then she smiled and spoke to Beverly.

"Oh, I'm waiting for it. Let's not stand here and go in and talk." Dorothy said, and walked directly to Beverly's house without looking back. It was as familiar as if she was home. After Beverly took a look at this neighbor, she complained in her heart that it felt like she was letting a guest into her house.

Dorothy entered Beverly's house, then skillfully made a cup of coffee with her automatic coffee machine. She then skillfully sat in her usual seat and started drinking. After a while, Beverly also came in with an envelope in her hand and placed it in front of Dorothy.

"To Miss Meshhouse, who is both a detective and a thief, do you want to be a sheriff next time? Or do you want to be a pirate?" Beverly said to Dorothy in a teasing tone, and Dorothy put down her coffee, shrugged her shoulders, took the letter in her hand, opened the envelope, and began to observe it carefully.

The words on the letter paper were not handwritten but machine printed. Dorothy knew that this was not a letter but a telegram. In fact, it was the content of a telegram sent from afar that was transcribed through a telegraph machine and printed out.

Dorothy asked the Order of the Coffin to contact Thief K through the Stonemasons' Guild within seven days. It might be too late to send a letter, so the other party chose to convey the message by telegram.

Under Beverly's promotion, the Stonemasons Guild has now expanded its postal business to many large cities. The Guild branches in these cities can communicate with each other and even exchange information through telegrams and other means. In order to specifically receive letters from the Order of the Underworld, Dorothy also opened a second account for the Stonemasons Guild besides the detective account, Thief K.

Dorothy examined the telegram in her hand. The content was very simple, with only a few sentences.

"You most despicable thief, may your soul be cursed forever! We are willing to pay a certain amount of money in exchange for the soul you shamelessly stole. Name your price."

Dorothy's heart was lifted when she saw the news on the telegram. It was obvious that after the Order of the Underworld failed to obtain the currency through divination and could not find the souls, they finally thought of recovering the souls through trading, and this was what Dorothy wanted.

Without thinking about anything else, Dorothy put the letter aside, asked Beverly for paper and pen, and quickly wrote her response on the paper.

"Dear members of the Order of the Underworld, I'm glad that you saw my message and contacted me. Your goods are now safe in my hands. You only need to pay me 12,000 pounds and I will return them. I will never break my promise."

After finishing writing, Dorothy handed the paper to Beverly and asked her to turn it into a telegram and send it back. When Beverly saw it, her expression was amused and she asked curiously.

"Wow... you are quite capable. I just got the information about the Dark Coffin, and you've already provoked them... Twelve thousand pounds, you have a big appetite. Did you steal something from the Dark Coffin? Why are you asking them to redeem you at such a high price?"

"Who knows?"

Picking up another cup of coffee, Dorothy drank it with a mysterious smile and said that she did not expect the Order of the Coffin to really pay so much money, but just asked for an exorbitant price.

Dorothy knew that the final price would take several rounds of negotiations. Since Mingguan was willing to take back this batch of goods and she had already established contact with them, she had plenty of time to slowly bargain with the other party.

…

㱗After replying the telegram to the Order of the Coffins, Dorothy said goodbye to Beverly and went home to rest.㱗㱗Just one day later, she received another reply.

The content of the reply was very simple. It stated in abusive language that Dorothy's conditions were too high and unacceptable, and put forward her bottom line. Dorothy was not in a hurry. She used the telegram from the Stonemasons' Union to slowly negotiate with the Order of the Coffin.

Just like that, in the next one or two days, Dorothy started bargaining with the Order of the Underworld through telegrams on the issue of bargaining chips. The two sides sent telegrams back and forth, and finally, after Dorothy spent about a hundred pounds on telegram fees, their negotiations finally came to an end.

In the end, the transaction plan that both parties agreed to was as follows.

The Order of the Underworld agreed to give Dorothy 6,000 pounds in cash and three secret books as bargaining chips in exchange for the more than 40 boxes of spirits in Dorothy's hands. Those secret books needed to involve the god "Pluto" and needed to be accompanied by a holy emblem of Pluto.

The two sides also discussed the specific transaction method. Under the strong request of the Underworld Coffin Society, the two sides must choose to trade face to face, saying that it is for on-site inspection of the goods and also convenient for handing over the money and the goods. In addition, both parties to the transaction must be present in person, not any form of puppets, and neither party can hide any extraordinary things about themselves.

During the series of bargaining, the Order of the Underworld deliberately put forward various requirements regarding the details of the transaction between the two parties. In response, Dorothy seized the opportunity to determine the time and place of the transaction. Under her arrangement, they would finally make the transaction with Tivian on the 15th, and at the beginning, the Order of the Underworld hoped to set the transaction location in Dankdo.

Therefore, on the 15th, the two sides will have a face-to-face "contact meeting" in Tivian.
