Red Moon Returns

From the eastern suburbs of Rhine City to the north, there is an unnamed trail leading all the way to the Karlos Mountains.

The thirty-kilometer trail is inaccessible all year round and is overgrown with weeds. It is a paradise for wild beasts. Only convoys transporting minerals occasionally pass by the trail.

It wasn't until the Nolin-Rhein railway plan was finalized five years ago that the railway would pass through the Best Mountain, and the trail became a little livelier. Occasionally, a convoy passed by the trail, delivering supplies to the engineering camp at the foot of the Best Mountain.

Mr. Louis, the old butler, personally drove the carriage along this trail to the engineering camp, but Lynch had a suspicion along the way.

Did I understand the word trail wrong?

The so-called trail is actually an asphalt road that can be used by large freight carriages. The so-called inaccessible means that there are vehicles coming from the opposite direction from time to time. The closer you get to Best Mountain Road, the more lively it becomes. When the destination is approaching, Lynch We have seen many newly built private houses. With inns and shops, and even a tavern and a casino, the campground has become a small town.

Lynch and Natalie looked dumbfounded and wondered if they had gone the wrong way. The old housekeeper in front ignored the two people who questioned their authority. Only Miss Diana was snickering.

Precisely because the preparatory work for the railway project had begun, many workers and materials had been transported, so the road was widened, and those smart businessmen, like sharks that smelled the smell of blood, followed them immediately. The camp was expanded into a small town with complete living facilities.

However, due to the secret instructions of some families, the preparation work was hindered, accidents occurred frequently, and the progress was not smooth. As a result, there was no work to do in the camp, people were panicked, and the surrounding area was also depressed. But now that the family has returned from their lost ways, preparations for the tunnel have begun again, and more and more workers dare to come, so the town soon becomes more and more lively.

"That's a terrible thing to say." Miss Diana glared at him, bit her lip and made a ferocious expression, "Be careful I tell Mr. Louis to give you a shot."

"Tsk, it turns out that every time you see him secretly threatening me with a gun, you just pretend not to see it, right?"

"Hmph." The countess wrinkled her nose, "Mr. Louis is the best to me. He has watched me grow up. If he sees someone bullying me, he will shoot him."

"That's murder, right? Are there really any living people around you when you have grown up like this?"

"Hmm, you two are about the same. There's someone sitting next to you."

"whee."

Amid laughter, the carriage passed through the peripheral shops and houses and stopped outside the camp.

As soon as I jumped off the carriage, I was greeted by the thick smell of soot, a dark column of smoke shot straight into the sky, and the roar of machinery resounded through the camp, making even the earth tremble.

The camp is surrounded by an iron fence, and you can vaguely see heads shaking inside. The gate is open, and strong workers come in and out from time to time, making the entire camp full of energy.

Changing with each passing day and full of vitality, this is the unique charm of this era full of changes, and there is hope in every air.

As soon as they got close, two big men ran out of the camp, making Lynch and Natalie's eyes wide open.

They have strong bodies, rough skin, and complex and weird patterns painted on their bodies and faces. When they tracked the female reporter Maya to her cabin in the countryside, these two were among the mountain people blocking them at the door.

No, why are they at the construction site? Do even strangers go to the construction site to move bricks these days? This era is indeed full of exploitation and oppression. It is a world of cannibalism by individuals, especially some evil families. Even ghouls are forced to work by them.

"What are you thinking about?" One look at Lin Qi's strange look showed that he didn't mean anything good. The countess rolled her eyes and glared at Lin Qi angrily, "The preliminary camp is on the way into the mountain. They live in the mountain. I informed them in advance that they came out specifically to take us in, which is not what you thought at all.”

Okay, okay, I thought even ghouls couldn't escape the fate of becoming workers.

Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief and had some hope for the rich people of this era, so he followed the two mountain people into the camp. However, after walking a few steps, he saw two sturdy mountain people covered in tattoos, carrying several The heavy giant gear passed in front of the group of people.

? ? ?

Well, Lynch and Natalie's eyes immediately turned to Miss Diana, while Miss Countess's eyes had drifted to the clouds in the sky, as if they contained the secret of the origin of the world and were full of endless attraction.

"Well, after the main camp was built, there were a lot of living facilities nearby, and many people were attracted. Sometimes they would come out to do odd jobs to earn some money, and then go to those places to spend money. It's not our family that allows them to go Doing odd jobs.”

"So your family hasn't paid them for over a thousand years?"

The countess gritted her teeth angrily: "They have no place to spend money. We all give them in kind. It's not as exaggerated as you said."

In fact, Lin Qi also knows that it is not a bad thing to let the mountain people come out to see the world and have more contact with ordinary people.

If the ancient city of Zul'Glasar is really excavated and there is archaeological evidence for the origin of the ghouls, then this race will most likely be classified from a mysterious alien species to a minority. In this way, they will be on par with the dwarf elves of the ancient continent. Those ancient races have also become rare ethnic groups. Not only are the officials no longer hostile, but they are also giving various preferential treatment, regardless of whether the preferential treatment is reasonable or not, such as extra points in exams and the like.

The ghouls in Rhine City have been hiding themselves as vagrants and have not been out of touch with society. It is probably similar in other cities. They can quickly adapt to the new life in the future, but the mountain people have been living in seclusion in the mountains. It is not a bad thing to let both sides adapt in advance like now.

What's more, it can squeeze some labor and help the family earn some income, right?

"I said that it is their own income and has nothing to do with the family! Mr. Lynch, you are so annoying!"

The countess was really angry. She gritted her teeth fiercely, but it was not enough to vent her anger. She suddenly went around to the side of Officer Natalie and pulled her sleeve.

The police officer immediately understood and stepped on Lynch's toes and crushed them.

"Ah~~~"

The two ladies laughed and the atmosphere became very harmonious. Only Lynch's eyes were wide open, and his eyeballs were almost bulging.

No, how did these two stupid women suddenly collude? And they are so tacit.

How can we live like this? Is it too late to return the goods now?

At this moment, Lin Qi seemed to have seen the road ahead covered with blood and thorns, and witnessed his miserable and desperate future. Endless regret occupied his heart. Unfortunately, everyone had to be responsible for their own choices. Now, there was no way back.

But before he could find a way out in the future, he realized that the atmosphere around him was a little strange.

As soon as they approached the mountain path, the three of them found that several eyes were focused on them at the same time.

Looking around secretly, the eyes came from the busy workers around them. The source could not be seen, but the other party was obviously paying attention to their every move.

Is there an ambush?
