The red moon returns

Chapter 104 The Last Chance (these few days the updates are divided into morning and afternoon, it seems that the reading can be better)

Seeing Miss Valente's soothing expression and a little smile in her eyes, Lynch knew that he had made the right bet.

This was a trust test in itself, and Lynch passed it with flying colors.

The key is that Lynch can't refuse to take this test, and he has no right to complain, because he asked for it.

No matter how they deal with the mountain people in the future, the attitude of the Valente family is very important. Unless they are desperate to fight such a behemoth, there is no harm in maintaining the relationship between the two parties. Now that he had initially established a good impression with half-truths and lies, Lynch certainly hoped to further consolidate the relationship, but he ignored that he was facing the eldest daughter of a thousand-year-old family.

This kind of identity, vigilance against malice and understanding of people's hearts have long been engraved in the bone marrow. No matter how gentle and kind his personality is, he will never be a fool. Even if he was blinded due to information asymmetry, he could not let Lynch manipulate him. With a simple act of kindness, he threw the problem to Lynch.

If Lynch doesn't dare to drink, Miss Valente probably won't take any action, but today's efforts will definitely be in vain. From now on, she will be an ordinary partner who keeps a distance at most. Only drinking it in person means that Lynch is willing to take the lead in trusting him, and his attitude will definitely be different in the future.

I had to solve the problem I asked for myself even though I shed tears, so I gritted my teeth and drank the potion cleanly.

It's not a reckless gamble. Lynch has carefully analyzed it. The possibility of it being poison is very small.

There is a high probability that the two of them met by chance. Since he is not sure that he will meet him, then this person is not mentally ill and cannot always carry a bottle of poison with him. Therefore, this bottle of medicine has no effect at best, and it is not really possible to use just one bottle. Send him away.

And on the other hand, she often comes into contact with ghouls, so it makes sense to have a bottle of medicine on her body to eliminate the smell of ghouls, so this bottle of medicine is probably real.

And the most important point is that if there is a fatal threat, Ms. Luna will at least give a warning, so since the neighbor did not stop him, Lynch drank it all with confidence.

It tastes really bad, sour and bitter, and I don’t feel hot all over my body after drinking it.

"The two people I'm waiting for are Grant and Hoffman." Miss Valente smiled and took back the medicine bottle and put it away. Seeing that Lynch was a little confused, she patiently explained, "Howard Hoffman, the mayor of Rhine City. "

Lynch remembered the gentle man sitting on the other side of Duke Wayne.

"Nicoletto asked me to help with this matter. There are many things that he can't say directly, otherwise I will also be targeted mysteriously," Miss Valente explained while looking in the direction of the city hall, "I have investigated. The Best Mountain Tunnel project was mainly promoted by Grant's forces, but the entire Nolin-Rhine Railway project was mostly managed by Hoffman, so both of these people may control the selection of the Best Mountain Tunnel. site."

"Maya said that there was collusion between Grant and the sewer ghouls. I don't quite understand, what is the relationship between the sewer ghouls and the Nikolai patriarch?"

"They are from different tribes and have very bad relations. Just treat them as two groups."

"Are they also interested in Zul-Hala-Thal?"

The second time he mentioned this weird name, Lin Qi still felt a little strange. He understood that this meant that just the pronunciation of the name contained a strong mystery. If he was still an ordinary person, I am afraid that this name could make him I was terrified.

"Oh, it seems that this is the first time you have come across this name. Zul Harasar was born in the Third Age and is the birthplace of their race. Although the city was swallowed up by the earth due to changes in the earth later, the city is still important to them. It is still of great significance, not to mention the legend that Mordiggian still has a ray of will sleeping deep in Zul'Harasar, which is tantamount to a holy place for their family."

"Hey, what's going on?" Lynch was startled, "Didn't it say that the evil gods are sleeping in the dreamland? Why did this Mordiggian change places?"

"Its main body must still be hidden deep in the dreamland. The present world cannot bear the meaning of their existence. Once they enter the present world, it will be a devastating disaster. Usually this situation means that it has a fragment of will left in the present world. The fragment does not Exceeding the current limit will not cause a large-scale disaster."

"Then what if this ghost city is dug out?" Lynch already realized the seriousness of the problem, and asked with twitching corners of his mouth, "Will this fragment of consciousness wake up? What will happen after waking up? ?”

"I also want to know the answer." Miss Valente sighed and said faintly, "Maybe you can enjoy the sacrifice once and then go to sleep, maybe you can directly return to the dreamland body and never come back, but you can also pull the dreamland body away. to the present world. The specific results that will occur are too few samples, and there is no conclusion in mystical science."

"Well, the consequences of these situations are all serious?"

"Well, the lightest one has to sacrifice thousands of souls to it to appease it and continue to sleep. Otherwise, when it returns to the dreamland, the entire world will be disturbed. There will be constant disasters on Mount Carlos, and maybe half of the world will be disturbed. The Kingdom of Rand will be affected all year round. As for the third possibility, well, the arrival of the Old Ones in their true form will inevitably cause a devastating disaster. By then, not only the Kalros Mountains and the Best Mountains, but also the entire Rhine will cease to exist. , if half of the people in the Rand Kingdom survive, it is considered a lucky result."

"Will no one take care of such serious consequences? What about the strong ones?" "Zul Harasar sleeping under the Best Mountain is just a folk legend of a minority ethnic group. It has no actual basis and even fewer people know about it. And even if It is useless for people to know about it, it will only be because of those fanatical archaeologists and naturalists, because the sleeping fragment of the old ruler is a legend among legends. If you are not familiar with the mountain people, it is almost impossible to believe it. The degree is beyond words.”

"But it's okay if the superiors don't know about such a dangerous matter. If they know about it, they should at least investigate it..."

Lin Qi suddenly couldn't ask any more questions. He realized that those in higher positions were not numb and refused to investigate, so he made his own entrustment.

"Phew, I understand, so Chief Nikolai and the others don't want the holy land to be disturbed, and the sewer ghouls colluded with Grant to dig out Zul'Harasar? But why would they do such a thing?"

"Don't delve into the reason, Mr. Leviv. This is a taboo behavior in occultism, because the minds of mysterious aliens are harder to guess than cultists." Miss Valente shook her head gently and said calmly, "They must have a purpose. But we normal humans may not be able to understand this purpose. Any attempt to understand will make our thinking more confusing and will move closer to them. Including Mr. Nicklay, it must have a purpose that we cannot understand, and it is trying to find out everything. Before, it was hard to say what to do in a more humane sense, but at least now it seems that helping Mr. Nikolai investigate the incident is the least bad outcome, so I chose to help him. What about you, Mr. Leviev, you drank my Potion, I give you one last chance to choose."

‘Neighbor, neighbor, is she telling the truth? ’

【uncertain. 】

‘You’re not even sure? Doesn’t it mean that gods are omniscient? ’

【But I am already dead. 】

‘It makes sense and is completely irrefutable. ’

[If it is true, you will be in danger, but it is not a dead end. 】

‘And profitable? ’

【Um. 】

"Maya is my client, Miss Valente, and I am also a human being." Lynch immediately showed a righteous expression and said firmly, "For the benefit of mankind, of course I must stand firmly with you."

"Oh, thank you very much, Mr. Leviv." Miss Valente's eyes flickered, she nodded with a half-smile, put away her things and stood up, "Then I'll go back and sort out the information first, and in two days Come visit us, and I will leave the tracking task to you today. Once you see Grant or Hoffman, follow them."

With that said, without waiting for Lin Qi to refuse, he turned around and left in a hurry while holding the novel in his arms.

Why did she run away?

Lin Qi was a little puzzled until he turned around and saw the waiter standing next to him with a smile but not a smile.

"Huh? She didn't pay?"

The waiter nodded deeply.

"Not even her cup?"

Continue to nod deeply.

Therefore, these nobles are simply the most vicious creatures in the world, bar none!
