Red Moon Returns

"To sum up, the situation regarding the Nolin-Rhine Railway incident is now clear."

“Official organizations related to Rand River shipping, organizations related to dockworkers, and national railway transportation organizations, led by them, are opposed to railway construction because their future interests will be seriously damaged.”

"The railway transport agencies are special. They are divided into two attitudes. The local railway transport agencies in the Rhine tend to support railway construction because they can obtain more benefits through the straight-line transportation from the Rhine to Noland. For this reason, they throw out The Rheinland Railway Workers' Union cooperated with Grant to create the Square Incident. On the contrary, the national railway transportation organization actually shortened the transportation distance of national railways and had an impact on national railway transportation. , so they are opposed, but these opposing departments have not yet taken any substantive steps.

"Supporters focus on industries such as metallurgy, coal, ignition, industry, and commerce, and are also driven by interests. For the sake of interests, their behavior is relatively extreme. In addition to teaming up with Grant to create the Massacre in the Square, and this time Howard's In addition to special incidents, there have also been many attacks on the passive opposition camp, especially the docks, which have been under great pressure.”

"In addition to the above forces, the Valente family and the minority mountain people they represent, who were originally opposed to the railway project, have changed their camps and are willing to use the family territory to cooperate with the railway construction. The specific content will be discussed in detail with the Duke's Palace by family representatives."

"The above is the entanglement between various forces surrounding the Nolin-Rhine Railway Project. After solving the hidden danger of the evil gods in the ancient city ruins and eliminating the advent-level strange object crisis created by the League of Shadows through Mayor Howard and Ranger Walker, the railway project No high-level mysterious threats have been discovered for Rand. As for the entanglements of interests on the mortal level, this project will last for at least twenty years, allowing enough time to coordinate the interests of all parties and minimize the adverse effects. , which is one of the reasons why the opposition has not acted excessively.”

"Based on the information at this stage, the rail project plan is highly feasible and can go ahead."

"Private Eye Lynch Levyv."

"June 25, 1399."

it is finally over.

Lin Qi closed the report on his desk, took a deep breath from his pipe, raised his head and blew out a column of smoke, feeling relaxed.

Although he still couldn't let go of the letter from the League of Shadows, at least a heavy burden had been lifted.

During the few days he had just traveled through time, he was under the threat of death every moment. Apart from the Watchers, the Church of the Night and the Duke's Palace were the first to lend a helping hand, which at least allowed Lynch to find a way to survive. direction and saw the hope of living.

If this debt of gratitude was not repaid as soon as possible, Lynch would not be able to sleep well, so until the last payment was made, he finally felt like he had truly integrated into the world.

It seems that this risk was not in vain.

In fact, since the tragic death of Mr. Crean and the almost impact on Officer Natalie, Lynch has been on full alert. He will not take any related incident lightly, and he will risk everything without considering his own safety.

The hard work finally paid off, and the railway incident was completely solved. It was just a pity that the gold and silver treasures in that tomb were lost.

The earthquake was unexpected, but it was reasonable. The passage was built deep in the tomb. Ms. Luna used Lynch's body to blow up the mirror with one look. It was indeed quite domineering, but at the same time, it also detonated the invisible passage, directly in the concept. Destroyed the tomb and caused an earthquake.

Fortunately, Lynch relied on the inspired divine power to hold Judy and forcibly resist the force of nature, and was eventually buried on the surface. Otherwise, as the two ladies feared, he would be buried deep underground, just like the funerary objects.

Yes, the funerary objects have been buried under tens of thousands of tons of earth and rock following the earthquake. In fact, it is not impossible to dig them out. People from the Archaeological Association, with the support of the Duke's Palace, have already begun to rescue them. They should be able to rescue some eventually. But once the official forces get involved, the final ones will fall into Lynch's hands, but it will be far away. Not as good as before.

I'm so stupid, really. I should have expected that the ancient tomb might collapse at any time, but I didn't know that it wouldn't matter if my name wasn't Laura or my surname wasn't Drake. Next time, I would definitely pack the funerary objects and prepare them to be taken away. No, still There won’t be a next time.

Lynch sighed and mourned for the twelve workers and five companions who died inside and outside the tomb for a few seconds, and then picked up the small pocket on the desk.

There are three items hidden inside, which are placed in front of the throne in the main tomb. If nothing else, these are the most important burial objects in this tomb of the Yark Dynasty. At least you will not lose money if you take them.

A thick classic, a few pages sandwiched in the classic, and a small golden hourglass.

The pages of the book contain words that Lynch cannot understand. It should be some kind of unknown mysterious document. Lynch plans to go to the Knowledge Library in the next few days. The group of profiteers will not deceive them and let them deal with this document. Go ahead and kill.

As for the other books and hourglasses, Lynch breathed a lot faster.

Both items are disaster-level rare items, which are dangerous level three items.

In Rand's underground market, fear-level rare items are relatively cheap, generally ranging from a dozen to dozens of pounds, while destructive-level items are slightly more expensive, not much more, just one more zero.

It is not allowed to sell at the disaster level. After all, although the controlled disaster level has little impact on civilians, it is still very dangerous once it gets out of control. Thousands of people will be affected, so theoretically it is forbidden to buy and sell. But sometimes some unscrupulous red-haired profiteers can still get some disaster-level wonders with less danger and sell them secretly. As for the price, just add another zero.

Yes, a few thousand pounds, a lifetime salary of a middle-class Rand, so in the mysterious world, no matter how much money you make, it is not enough to spend.

Poverty is like the wind, always with me.

Sighing, Lynch picked up the hourglass.

[The secret hidden outside of time, the little props used by Ms. Diana to hide and seek, will not be discovered by anyone until she will never be discovered by anyone again. ]

A very strange wonder. According to Lynch's understanding, it can hide the target outside of time, so that the target has never existed, thereby hiding the target. It is very similar to the trick of Rick, the knight of the Church of the Night, who hid the ship. Lynch estimated that if he had a high enough understanding of the hidden divine power, he would probably understand some new abilities from it.

Although I don't understand anything now, this thing is still practical, and the out-of-control condition is a bit troublesome. If you hide the same target for more than an hour continuously, it will go out of control. After going out of control, it will continue to devour the people and man-made objects around it, so that these things have never existed in the cognition of others. Unless it is suppressed in time, these swallowed characters will be lost outside of time forever. The problem is that it can even hide itself, and it is very troublesome to suppress it, so it is not an exaggeration to have a disaster-level danger level.

But it is still very useful, belonging to a kind of absolute defense. Now I don't have to occupy Miss Valente's necklace all the time. Look, I am not a freeloader. I just borrowed it.

Lin Qi pinched his chin and praised himself for a moment, put down the hourglass, and picked up the thick book.

[The Book of Purification, the secret treasure used by Master Durin to purify mysterious filth, which made his cleanliness more serious. 】

It is also a defensive wonder. Lin Qi thinks that if this thing is sold, it can even be hyped up to a sky-high price.

As long as it is placed on the bookshelf, the mysterious filth that has stained the entire building can be dispelled, so that the people in the building will not be affected by the existence of filth. It is estimated that the former Yark royal family also relied on this kind of strange objects to collect so many dangerous strange objects without being corroded by filth and dying of illness within a few days.

Although it cannot counteract the effect of the strange object itself, it can offset the damage of filth. For collectors, this thing is simply a life-saving artifact.

However, Lynch does not intend to sell it. He put the book of purification into the bookcase without thinking.

As he gets deeper and deeper into the mysterious world, he collects more and more strange objects. He may not care, but Mrs. Maggie's little Martha can't stand it. Now that I have this thing, I can collect strange objects at home unscrupulously. Thinking about it... uh, it seems a little dangerous, so I'd better be careful.

The two strange objects are not bad, and this adventure is worth it. And although those treasures are a bit of a pity, Lynch knows that the real reward has not yet been obtained.

I solved the big problem myself. With the size of the Duke's Mansion and the royal family, they would never let me suffer. I just need to wait patiently, and I don't need to feel sorry at all.

Besides, just slapping the evil god who was watching the fun in the face was a good deal. Lynch was extremely happy now, and he had the urge to open the contact technique of the Swelling Girl and fight with her.

Forget it, I'd better not seek death. I'm a kind and gentle traverser, and I won't do such stupid things that make enemies.

[Well, the Flasher, the Weaver, the King of the Cold Bone, the Swelling Girl...]

'Okay, okay, I know how kind I am, you don't need to say it. '

This neighbor just tells the truth.

While muttering, his head suddenly felt hot, Lynch rolled his eyes, and when he turned around, he saw little Martha holding a tray of hot tea, quietly approaching and pressing the tray on his head.

"Hey, Uncle Lin Qi, what are you grinning at again?"

Just a greeting, the little thing quickly moved the tray away, revealing that doll-like smile.

Since the little bastard took the initiative to help Lin Qi, the previous grudge has long been dissipated, but forgiveness is forgiveness, and the lesson should still be taught.

"Put down the plate first, I have something to tell you."

"I'm not stupid, as soon as I put it down, you will grab me and beat me, you are already flexing your wrist."

Tsk, that's why I hate naughty kids.

The light laughter interrupted Lin Qi's complaints, and Mrs. Maggie's blonde and blue-eyed smiling face appeared at the door of the living room on the second floor.

The beautiful and gentle lady wore a long dress at home, and looked at the quarrel between her daughter and Lin Qi with a soft look, covering her mouth and smiling.

You don't care about your little devil.

It must be because the blonde hair of the mother and daughter was too dazzling. Lynch suddenly felt much better and decided to let go of the little Martha for the time being. He took her tray and put it down, and then skillfully took the envelope handed to him by Mrs. Maggie.

A letter from the Duke's Mansion.

Lynch smiled. It seemed that the main course was here.
