Red Moon Returns

Offer the beauty of the world, and I will give you miracles in return.

This is the miraculous light, a healing wonder.

Of course, certain diseases can be cured face to face. This is how most people used to use it, including the Milt family who cured rinderpest several times in the past.

But in fact, this magical object is so powerful that it can even conceptually cure certain diseases around the world.

As long as the operator can afford the price, the price is to sacrifice the beauty of the world.

Some people believe that most people have good things in them, and as long as the good things in the sacrifice are enough to pay the price, the effect can be activated. So for several epochs, many people in power have tried to find this strange object to extend their lifespan. .

Unfortunately, the act of sacrificing itself is not beautiful at all. The ultimate reward of this act is that the strange objects get out of control, and the light of miracles turns into the light of disaster, constantly releasing various diseases and deaths around the world, causing dozens of deaths. Millions of people were affected.

The effect was too tempting, but the consequences were too terrifying. This strange object was eventually hidden in an unknown place by some thoughtful people during a certain period in the Fifth Age. It was gradually forgotten by the world and disappeared into the long river of history. .

No, it was occasionally used to treat rinderpest.

The cost of treating such low-level creatures is much smaller, and it doesn’t even require too much beauty. Therefore, every time after rinderpest, some strange things always happen in the town. Many couples have broken marriages and many families have been torn apart. , many long-time friends turned against each other.

That's all, it doesn't even cost you your life.

But this time was different. According to Skye, this time from the beginning, they felt a huge pull in the interference of time, which meant that the impact of this incident was great.

It was impossible for a rinderpest to bring such a huge intervention force. The only explanation is that the whole thing had another purpose.

The Milt brothers then speculated that someone might want to use this to lure the two of them to take out the Miracle Light and take it away, eventually creating some irreversible results.

So the Milt brothers and sisters explained to the townspeople that this incident was probably not rinderpest but a man-made disaster. However, the townspeople who were blinded by losing everything did not believe it. They only thought it was an excuse for them not to help, so they hated the family.

A good example of friendship and friendship.

If this is true as the brother and sister guessed, then they must find out what happened here. Maybe they can take the opportunity to understand the purpose of the Shadow Alliance, or at least get help from the Milt brother and sister.

So the two of them hurriedly said goodbye to Ms. Skye and rushed to the center of the town as quickly as possible.

Now that safety could be assured for the time being, Lynch no longer hid and recounted everything about Howard to Officer Natalie.

The police officer was also surprised when she heard the strange blue smoke, which was the hound in Skye's mouth, but what really chilled her was the all-pervasive means of the League of Shadows behind the scenes. What on earth do these lunatics want to do? Eyeing the light of miracle again?

"Then what are you going to do?" The lady police officer grabbed the ornament on her sword and said in embarrassment, "Where are you going to start...Pfft."

Lin Qi also smiled. At this time, the two of them seemed to have returned to the day they just traveled through time. Facing a clueless situation, the two of them were helpless.

It's like yesterday happened again.

At that time, I relied on my brain to dig out clues bit by bit and saved my life. The dangerous situation has been resolved, and there is no reason to be stuck here this time.

"Why are you laughing? Be serious." Some people still have smiles on their lips, but they actually have the nerve to scold others, "I'm asking you a question."

"Grab the key." Lin Qi obviously had already made up his mind. He spoke quickly without pausing, "What is the most important issue now?"

"Rinderpest? No, I mean to stop the livestock from dying?"

"Actually, no, rinderpest is not terrible. What really caused the incident just now was the despair in people's hearts."

"I don't understand, please explain clearly."

“Rinderpest was not enough for them to risk bullets and attack the Milt family without conscience, but the fear of losing the breeding farm made them lose their future, and they fell into despair before they completely lost their minds. Therefore, the first key issue was land. "Lynch said with certainty, "So what we have to do is to stabilize the land issue first and ease the noose around their necks, so that even if we don't buy the dead cows in the end, they will eventually bear the loss and the breeding farms will still be there. The hope is that they won’t go crazy again.”

The police officer listened and looked at Lynch from time to time with her peripheral vision. However, as she listened, she soon fell into thinking and nodded: "But how to solve the land issue?"

"I guess someone will jump out soon." Lynch smiled, "The words I just said are actually an irritant to the person who caused the trouble. It will definitely disrupt his plan. In order to remedy the situation, he will definitely do it as soon as possible. Increase your efforts to make trouble. I believe that as long as we return to town, it won’t be long before he comes forward to make a bet.”

"Who made a bet with you?" Officer Natalie rolled her eyes at him and suddenly quickened her pace.

When the two appeared in the center of the town, the sun was already setting.

It's four o'clock in the afternoon.

The only tavern in the town is an old-fashioned tavern, with a dilapidated bar, twenty or thirty sets of dark wooden tables and chairs, and a dim yellow light from the gas lamp. A group of sturdy men are sitting in the bar, playing cards or chess, drinking heavily. noisily.

But those were the past. Although the tavern today was packed, the atmosphere was quite solemn.

As soon as Lynch and the police officer entered the door, they heard a harsh sound.

"Absolutely impossible. A contract is a contract. A signed contract is an iron rule. Not even a letter can be changed. Look at your own copy. It is clearly written in the contract that if an accident occurs that affects my recovery of the principal, I have the right to recover the loan or collateral in advance. I did not force you to sign the contract. You wanted to borrow the money yourself."

The speaker was a man in a formal suit, wearing single-frame glasses, a mustache, and small, round eyes. He stood in the middle of the tavern and confronted the leading farmers. The mustache was not tall, but his voice was quite loud. He waved a stack of cardboard in his hand, looking aggressive.

"Master, Master Trevor, please." The peasant woman who had just cried while holding the corpse had red eyes and bowed repeatedly in front of the mustache. "Mike just died. If you take away the farm at home right away, my children and I will not be able to survive. Please, have mercy on us mother and son, and give us a few more days."

"Who will pity me if I can't recover the cost? What's wrong with just dying? Can it violate the contract if just dying? Not to mention that only one Mike died, even if ten Mikes died in a row, even if your whole family jumped down neatly, you still have to pay me back."

"Sir, Mr. Trevor." The farmer who was slapped in the face by Lynch just now did not show the momentum to attack Milt's mansion at this time He was shrinking his neck and rubbing his hands, forcing a flattering smile on his swollen face, "I, we are not not paying back the money, we will raise the money soon, give us a few more days, we promise that we will pay you back as soon as we raise the money in just a few days."

"Bullshit." The mustache rolled his eyes, looking a little guilty, "I don't believe there is such a thing, which fool would buy such a thing, don't try to deceive me. And I don't care how you raise money, I will inform you now, at the latest tomorrow, either pay back the money, or I will take back the land, and I won't give it to you for one more day."

"It popped up faster than expected, and the contract is really disgusting." Lynch stood at the door and listened to a few words, then whispered to Officer Natalie.

The policewoman leaned close to Lynch's ear: "The contract has many loopholes, just cheating these country people."

"Huh? Do you understand?"

Lynch was stunned and looked at Officer Natalie in surprise. When did this girl stop using her sword and brain?

"Heh, have you forgotten whose soul-discarding agent I am?" Officer Natalie smiled calmly and said leisurely, "Rules and contracts are the domain of the Lord of Order. If the soul-discarding agent of the Lord of Order does not understand these, then he is too incompetent. So, Mr. Lynch Leviev, I'm here. How mature do you want him to be?"

Tsk, this girl is really domineering.

Lynch was shocked and whispered, "Be a little bit anxious, go ahead, Natalie."

"Talk about the contract? Okay." The tall policewoman walked into the tavern with her long legs. Before she got close, her aura had forced the mustache man to take two steps back. "You, name."

"Will, Will Trevor. You, who are you?"

"Well, Mr. Trevor, I regret to inform you that there is a problem with your contract." Officer Natalie said calmly with a sneer, "You said that 'once an accident occurs that is sufficient to affect your recovery of the principal', you have the right to recover the loan in advance. How long is considered in advance? One minute is also in advance, one day is also in advance, you advance to tomorrow, is there a contractual basis? If not, it is an invalid request."

"This..."

"There is another question." The middle-aged version of Lynch also walked out with a smile and stood side by side with the policewoman. "The so-called accident that is sufficient to affect your recovery of the principal did not happen."

"Why not." The mustache man immediately became anxious and waved the contract and said, "So many cows have died, and they are going to die more in the future, how..."

"Did you indicate this situation in the contract?" Lynch Qi asked back. In this era, business development is not sound enough, and there are many loopholes in the contract that can be exploited. "If not, why do you think it complies with the terms of the contract? I think it does not."

"You..."

"Of course you can insist on your demands. This constitutes a dispute. It can only be reported to the Hall of Justice and decided by the Justice Court." The police officer spoke again. She said with a cold face and expressionless face, "If nothing unexpected happens, it will take about fifteen days from acceptance to trial. After all, the Justice Court is very busy and it is getting more and more busy. Busy."

"How about you report to the city right now?" This time it was Lin Qi again, smiling reservedly, "In this way, after fifteen days, you may be qualified to ask them to pay back the money immediately."

"I, you, you, who are you?"

"It's the fool you just mentioned who would do such a thing, from the city hall."

"What about her?"

"She? My old... my bodyguard." Lin Qi waved his hand like he was shooing away a fly, "Okay, you have nothing to do now, step aside, you guys, take me to your farm, I want to see the goods first."
