Red Moon Returns

The dinner party is not a dance, because the dance has not officially started yet, and the host does not need to make a speech. At most, it is enough to receive the most important guests.

This is common sense for attending a ball, even commoners know it, so when His Excellency the Duke, who had only been seen in newspapers, appeared, there was a commotion in the venue.

Not only the civilian area, there were also small-scale commotions in several nearby dining areas. After all, there had never been a precedent for a duke and a princess to visit a civilian area together.

Everyone was looking at Lin Qi with surprised eyes, discussing who this commoner who attracted the princess and the duke was.

For a moment, Lin Qi became the focus of attention from the surrounding guests.

But Lynch didn't get carried away.

He is self-aware, and the things he has done are indeed outstanding, but they are not outstanding enough to warrant such special treatment.

There must be a purpose for being polite to others. If they do this, it is equivalent to having the words "we want to use you" written on their faces.

"Hahaha, I like your directness, Mr. Leviv. It is as direct as your report. Then, we are going to use you, you won't mind, right?"

"Do you mind being used by others? The contact between people is to use each other. Being used by others means that it is valuable. What is not used by others is waste. Of course, the premise is that the person being used understands it clearly and gets enough money. It’s good. It’s only worth caring about if you’re tricked into using your bare hands as a weapon, but you should be concerned about your own brain.”

Lynch did not hide his thoughts, but rubbed his fingers skillfully. Duke Wayne didn't care, patted Lynch's shoulder enthusiastically, and motioned Lynch to follow them to a quiet corner.

After giving Lynch enough face, Princess Sophia started her own performance.

"You are all outstanding citizens of the Rand Kingdom and the cornerstone of the entire kingdom. Thank you for facing the difficulties together with the kingdom."

"Diseases are not terrible, nor are disasters. You stand with the Kingdom, and the Kingdom stands with you. As long as we fight side by side, we can overcome all difficulties."

She spoke high-sounding formulaic words, but her body was quite honest. She really walked directly into the crowd of civilians, sat down directly at the civilian dining table, and had close and unobstructed contact with the people.

Lynch was shocked.

Sister, have you forgotten that you are an assassination target? Is it really okay to leave these guards?

Although there were a total of 29 civilian representatives from 12 families, and they had all gone through repeated reviews and security checks, it was quite risky to have close contact at this time. After all, the assassination incident the day before yesterday had not yet passed.

That politicians can have such courage, whether it is for show or not, is still very admirable to Lynch.

Fortunately, Officer Natalie and Miss Valente were under personal protection. The Lord of Order and the Lord of Suffering's Soul Changers joined forces, which was a perfect protection measure.

"Her Highness Sophia has been like this since she was a child. She is willing to contact the common people and has established an image of being close to the people. We are not worried, but this is what Sophia asked for, and no one can stop her."

The princess was talking to the people one by one. When it was little Martha's turn, in order to take care of the little thing's height, she even knelt down on one knee, which attracted reporters to take crazy pictures. The old Duke and Archbishop Trinleth took Lynch to the corner and explained softly:

"Queen Mary died young, leaving only one daughter, Sofia. Rudolf didn't like Queen Mary, so he was not close to Sofia. The aristocratic circle was also very cold towards her because they were concerned about Rudolf's attitude, so this child often came into contact with her. A commoner, when she grew up, she became a people-friendly person in the royal family. You may think that she is acting in many things, but in fact... she is acting, but at least the acting is beneficial to everyone and can help others. "

"There is nothing wrong with acting, and there is nothing hypocritical about it." Lynch shrugged. "The people need drama that can bring benefits, whether the benefits are spiritual comfort or practical benefits. And if she can act for a lifetime, it will be true. "

Duke Wein and the Archbishop looked at Lynch in surprise: "It's surprising that you have such an idea. Many nobles may not be able to see it so thoroughly."

That is, this is the knowledge accumulated in my hometown for thousands of years. I am just saying it to scare people. Lin Qi thought to himself, still showing an inscrutable smile on the surface.

"If you have this opinion, then the rest will be easy to explain." Duke Wein said, "Let's talk about your mission first. I have read the report. Although there are some shortcomings due to insufficient information, it is all It's not important. Several key issues have been reflected. Based on other people's reports, we can get basically comprehensive information, so I am very satisfied. I believe Rudolph is also very satisfied. Well, I don't need to say it, the client behind the scenes. In fact, it’s His Majesty the King.”

The corners of Lin Qi's mouth twitched. He had already guessed it, but he still felt something.

"The reason for this commission is very troublesome. William and little prince Richard are the sons of Queen Nina, but Queen Nina has also passed away. Rudolf actually liked William's son very much and had long decided to pass the throne after his death. To William, it was only in recent years that he began to hesitate to consider giving Rand another queen in the future."

"Stop, is it really okay for you to tell me this?"

"Don't you know if I don't tell you?" His Excellency the Duke glanced at Miss Valente with a meaning, "There is a lot of information in that report, but it is suspected of being a ghostwriter, hehe. And it is not explained clearly. , will you let us use you?”

Cunning old fox. Lynch gave the old Duke a thumbs up in his mind, but it was pointing downwards.

"Some staff have analyzed that the existence of the Parliament is likely to shake the royal power, but that will happen a long time ago. Although they are not sure whether their analysis is true or false, the conflict between the Parliament and the royal family is indeed getting more and more acute." The Duke continued He smiled and said seriously, "In this case, it is not a bad thing for Prince William to be close to the Parliament. His succession can ease the increasingly fierce conflicts, but this has a prerequisite. He still represents the interests of the nobles. He can Act as a liberal and tend to cooperate with the parliament, but you cannot really regard yourself as a person on the side of the parliament.”

Lin Qi nodded thoughtfully, probably already understanding the contradiction.

"This caused Rudolf to worry, and it turned out that his worries were justified. When he seemed to reveal his thoughts inadvertently, the first thing William did was not to change his behavior to dispel his father's doubts. Instead, he began to cooperate deeply with the parliament and planned to use the power of the parliament to force Rudolph to change his mind. "

"The emergence of the Shadow League has provided them with the best way to use that thing to allow Rudolph to pass the ball to him openly. The whole process can withstand any test and can ensure a transfer of rights without loss. In fact, we don't We know what his true purpose is, but the League of Shadows made us wary, so we got this commission.”

"Through your report, we can roughly surmise which forces are actually controlled by the parliamentary faction and the degree of control. Although we do not intend to do anything because of this, fully understanding the situation will make Rudolf more confident about what will happen next. , I have to say, this is all your credit, Mr. Leviv.”

Lin Qi's head was pounding when he heard it, and he said thoughtfully: "Her Royal Highness the Princess over there ran over at this time, and I'm afraid it's not just as simple as condolences to the people affected by the disaster."

"Let's put aside her purpose for a moment and talk about it later. Let's talk about your reward first. As you said, you should use people in a way that makes people feel comfortable." His Excellency the Duke said with a smile, "Not only did you submit the report, but also By the way, we solved several major hidden dangers and even directly destroyed William's plot to kill his father. If we use a copy of Red Moon Memories to perfunctory you, not only will you feel uncomfortable being used, but we ourselves will feel embarrassed. That's why. Well, the first thing is the Red Moon memories you need. We will try our best to help you collect them. Although we may only be able to provide some information in the end, it should be of some help to you. After all, many things rely on the power of the country and often change. easier."

Lynch thought for a moment, and now he has the second memory provided by Countess Hathaway. As long as he can regain the third divine power, he can be promoted to level three. But the subsequent memories have not yet settled. With the help of the Rand Kingdom, the road to immortality should be easier.

"I accept."

"But it's not enough. After all, it's just a blank promise. I've also prepared another reward for you. Although I don't think you're interested in it, it's actually very important to you."

"what exactly is it?"

Lin Qi's heart was scratching like a cat. Don't you know that even dogs that break the chapter will not end well?

The Duke looked Lynch up and down and asked, "Do you think the title Sir Lynch Levy of the Rand Kingdom sounds good?"

ha?
