The red moon returns

Chapter 106 Handover

Since the Fifth Century, civilization originated from the ancient continent, flourished in the Middle-earth continent, and developed in the Newland continent. Except for the lost land that has been frozen all year round, civilization has left its mark on the three continents.

Five major kingdoms, seventy-four countries, are distributed in areas that have been controlled by civilization, and together they have built this world full of weirdness and mystery.

The ancient continent in the east of the planet is unanimously considered by academic circles to be the origin of the Fifth Age Civilization in this world, but it is the broader Middle-earth continent that carries civilization to glory. Four of the five major kingdoms are here, including the Rand Kingdom. It's one of them.

As an ancient country inherited from the Fourth Age, the Kingdom of Rand controls the peninsula in the northwestern part of Middle-earth and faces its feuding Kingdom of Friedman across the sea across the Windy Bay. Since the Fifth Age, the two sides have been at war. The fight has lasted for thousands of years. In the past hundred years or so, thanks to the mediation of the Qiangwei family, there has been a rare truce period, but there are still undercurrents.

The Rand Kingdom occupies the peninsula. The kingdom controls 870,000 square kilometers of land and has a population of more than 80 million. It is a well-deserved world power. Its capital Norin is located in the northwest of the peninsula, and Rhine is located in the southeast of the peninsula. The two major towns are separated by the Transverse The Carlos Mountains in the east and west face each other far away.

As one of the three most important waterways in the Rand Kingdom, the Rand River runs from west to east, across the Karlos Mountains, from Nolin to the Rhine. After running through the Rhine City, it flows into the sea from the Twin Towers District. bay.

The Twin Towers District is famous for its two giant lighthouses. It is the intersection of inland shipping and ocean shipping in the Rhine City. The Cross District even built a short-distance railway track directly to make trade more convenient.

Therefore, the water transportation of the Rand River has become one of the important ways of inland transportation in the Rand Kingdom. Even the emergence of a national railway network is not worth the exaggeration of a Rand River.

Just after nine o'clock in the morning, a motorcade drove out of the Dark Cathedral in Crown Plaza.

The fleet of four carriages is made of light and strong black steel wood. This kind of wood is moisture-proof and insect-proof, and has its own breathability. It is the best raw material for making carriages. Unfortunately, it is expensive and the production is scarce. Even if you have money, you can't buy it. To this end, only aristocratic families with deep foundations are qualified to use it.

Of course the Lord God Church is qualified, and can take out four vehicles at a time, not just four vehicles, but only four vehicles for use.

The carriage is also full of the characteristics of the dark night, with gold stars on a black background and the holy emblem of the night scepter hanging. Even the coachman is wearing a black priest's robe, and his identity can be identified at a glance.

Lin Qi was sitting in the second carriage, and he was in a good mood at this time.

Not because of the magnificent scenery of the Rand River rushing into the sea, nor because the surrounding area is gradually filled with the excitement and prosperity unique to the port area, but because Archbishop Trinleth personally invited him to participate in today's event, and he could finally see the red man he had longed for. Yue recalled.

Today, Lin Qi got up early, reluctantly ate a hot breakfast under the warm nagging, and then went out in formal attire.

As planned, I rushed all the way to the Hall of Order and practiced half a box of ammunition.

The bad news is that only one shot hit the target today. The good news is that today's coach was still not hit and ended the training alive, which is really gratifying.

So Lynch left the training ground with regret and went directly to the Cathedral of the Dark Night.

There are already many believers who come to pray and listen to sermons. The donation box at the entrance is half full. This is not just a matter of stuffing a few copper pennies. Lynch saw with his own eyes that at least one-third of them were stuffed with silver shillings. Even rand pound notes.

Does the church actually make so much money? Neighbor, how about I open a church in your name before I complete the road to immortality?

【hehe. 】

Damn it, neighbor, that person stuffed a five-pound note just now. My neighbor, I think I saw it wrong. How about I sacrifice myself and help them open the donation box and check it.

Fortunately, two one-star priests wearing black night robes had returned and stopped Lynch's shameful plot in time. They took him into the reception room to meet Archbishop Trinleth. Before he could talk in detail, he was specially Linlai pulled him into the church's carriage.

Only then did Lynch know that it was inconvenient to say in yesterday's letter that Red Moon Memories was actually following the supply ship of the Church of the Night, and was transported by a special escort along with other important supplies. It had now entered the Rhine City river section and was adjusting its speed. Queue downstream to enter the harbor.

In order to ensure the safety of important cargo, the Church of the Night's main hall specially replaced the three-star priest who was normally responsible for escorting the cargo with a six-star priest.

Only the cardinals with the highest status below the pope are qualified to wear the nine-star robe. Regional archbishops like Trinleis only have eight stars on their robes. Only those who can wear the six-star robe can wear the robe with nine stars. Apart from the bishops who have real power, there are only soul-shifters who have rich experience in actual combat and have reached the intermediate level of strength. Sending such a strong man just to escort a sacred memory is enough to show that the church attaches great importance to this transaction. At the same time, the church also made a request, hoping that Lynch could join the collection team and complete the handover directly on the spot, so it hurriedly invited Lynch to come and be accompanied by Trinleth personally.

"Wait, you mean you don't hand over to the headquarters, but I complete the handover directly?" The carriage had stopped at the dock, but the two of them had not gotten out of the car yet. Lin Qi frowned and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "After handing over the things, will they belong to me?"

"Yes, we don't pay you after you complete the commission, but we pay you directly in advance."

"why?"

Of course it was a good thing for Lynch, but it made him wary. A behemoth like the Church of God should not assume such a low profile. Not only was it against the rules, it was even demeaning.

The archbishop smiled and shook his head, silently raising his finger and pointing upward.

"Above? Your Pope's order? That shouldn't be the case. No, do you mean..."

Lynch swallowed and pointed upward with a strange expression. Trinleth nodded in confirmation with the same strange expression.

It is actually the oracle of the goddess of the night, so why is it in compliance with the rules? The gods speak according to the rules. The question is, why does she?

Trinleth explained solemnly: "The soul-shifters of the Crimson Moon have appeared. The followers of the dark night should abide by the agreement in the mythical era and provide the followers of the Red Moon with the help they can. The sacred memory belongs to the Crimson Lady, so it should be Return it soon."

'hiss? It turns out it was you. ’

Lynch had never had any real feelings before, but now he finally realized that his neighbor really seemed to have an extraordinary identity.

【Um. 】

‘What is the agreement in the Mythical Age and why should she help you? ’

Quietly, without saying a word.

‘Forget it, the reason doesn’t matter, but at least let me know, should I accept it? ’

[Help is acceptable, but...] Ms. Luna was silent for a moment, [Don't completely believe them. 】

'them? ’

[Well, they. 】

This answer doesn't feel good.

However, Lynch still took a deep breath and smiled: "Followers of Crimson Moon are grateful for the gifts from the night."

With the same complicated and strange smiles, the two stepped out of the carriage. On the water in the distance, a ketch was slowly sailing into the dock.
