The red moon returns

Chapter 186 Friendship

The greatest private detective in the Rand Kingdom, the user of No. 221 Vera Street, the defender of the Rhine order, and the guardian of the Rand pound, Mr. Lynch Leviev, has just been kidnapped by an old woman.

He only had time to go back to his room and say hello before he was caught and put into the carriage.

It was a very simple carriage that looked no different from the taxi carriages that could be seen everywhere. However, only after being caught inside did you realize that there was something unique inside.

The closed carriage exudes the natural fragrance of roses, and the air is fresh and moist, which does not make people feel stuffy at all. The floor is covered with thick cashmere carpet, which makes you feel like you are in the clouds when you step on it. The seats are all soft sofas. There are fresh dried fruits and warm black tea in the small table drawer in front of me.

The person sitting next to him was no longer the old woman who was giggling at him, but a young lady who was giggling at him.

Miss Valente.

The young aristocratic lady was wearing a green lady's dress, with a feather hat playfully tilted on her head. Her red lips were covered by a folding fan. Only a pair of big brown eyes were exposed. There was a smile in her eyes, and she was watching with blinking eyes. Lynch. It's a pity that there is still no color on his face, and light makeup cannot hide the paleness on his face, but he is already in good spirits, and even his voice is breathy.

"Mr. Lynch, long time no see." Her big eyes turned into crescents, and her straight nose was wrinkled. The noble lady's voice was filled with unprecedented ease, and she said softly, "I can see everything about you. Being well is my biggest gain today."

Looking at this delicate face and breathing in the faint fragrance coming from his body, Lynch opened his mouth, wanting to say something to celebrate Miss Valente's recovery, but found that his mind was so dull that he couldn't even think of a word to suit the occasion. When I came out, all I could do was scratch my head and giggle. After holding it in for a long time, I finally said: "Me too."

"what?"

"Pfft, your words are still so irritating." The angry Quail returned to his smile. Miss Valente hid behind the folding fan and made a face, and then said seriously, "Listen, Lynch Levy Sir, I will only say the following words once."

Hiss, the resounding promise moved Lynch a little. He was silent for a moment, but shook his head and said: "Can you represent the Valente family? There is no need to make such a commitment for the entire family."

"Forget it, it's nothing, it's just a fool making a fool of himself."

Lin Qi couldn't understand such a profound question, and he didn't bother to think about it. He followed his instinct and said sincerely: "I'm very happy to see you wake up, but can you stop shaking that fan?" Yeah, I'm a little scared."

The eyes that were full of smiles just now suddenly became sharp. The beautiful aristocratic lady lowered her head slightly, squinting at Lynch from the folding fan, like a puffy little quail, her wrists moved as if It felt like the folding fan was about to hit me in a moment.

"Your efforts have unlocked the shackles that the Valente family has tied to themselves for thousands of years, and liberated the Valente family from responsibilities. The Valente family does not like to say thank you to others, we only like to express it with practical actions , so from now on, you will be the family’s forever friend, and as long as the Valente family still exists, the family’s door will always be open to you, and this will always be your second home.”

It's really strange, why did my IQ suddenly return to zero? Or do I never have that thing? And it’s not like I’ve never seen patients recover. I’ve just recovered myself, so why do I suddenly feel so excited and even my chest feels sore.

"Wait, let me think about it again, there must be other topics."

Miss Valente said calmly, pressed her chest and smiled:

"I say this on behalf of Diana de Valente. You generously extended a helping hand to a desperate lady, regardless of the cost, without asking for anything in return, and even harmed your own body. So, please show the same. Be generous and accept her offer of friendship forever.”

"I can't. The only person who can represent the family is Earl Valente, who is now my father. But based on my understanding of the family, they will not object to my promise, so it is not difficult. Moreover, I really cannot represent The whole Valente family, but at least I can represent myself.”

???

Lin Qi broke out in a cold sweat. Damn it, how can I talk to a young girl? Waiting online, urgent.

"Ok?"

What else can be said at this time? Lynch sighed softly, consciously took up Miss Valente's extended hand, leaned over and kissed the back of the hand gently.

"Fight for you, my lady."

"Pfft, you can't say this. Are you not conferring a family knight now? Or do you want to become a knight of the Valente family? Otherwise, you should say 'my honor'."

"But I'm not honored at all." It really ruined the atmosphere, and who knows the routines of you nobles? I didn't see such details when watching the show. Lin Qi rolled his eyes, but suddenly his heart moved, "The family knight should Do you have a salary? How much is it?" "No, you still have to pay a monthly fee of ten pounds every month."

"Huh? Really or not."

"Of course it's fake, what else?"

Miss Valente gritted her teeth and waved her small fan, as if she was imagining some violent act. Lynch couldn't help but shudder and quickly distracted her: "Well, since you have woken up, what will happen next? Plan to go back to the capital?"

"Impossible. Although the main purpose is to offer sacrifices, he was nominally appointed by the church to station in the Rhine. He will at least continue to work for the church for a while. This is also a tacit understanding between the nobles and the church. Why, you ask these , do you have any plans?"

"Elder Nikolai probably hasn't gone back into the cave yet."

"Be careful, if the elder finds out, he will come and beat you." Miss Valente shook her head with a smile, "He hasn't done it yet, he will have to wait and see for a while."

"After Mordiggian's hidden danger is completely resolved, does the Valente family have any plans for the mountain people?"

"It mainly depends on their wishes and the progress of the tunnel. If the tunnel plan is not implemented, they will return to their previous lives and they will help the family develop the mine. If the tunnel construction starts, the family will pay a sum of money to move them Go somewhere else.”

"Then I have a plan..." Lynch licked his lips and made a gesture of counting money. "How about we discuss with Elder Nikolai and package and sell the development rights of Zul'Grassar?"

"what?"

"I know the Valente family is rich, but no one would mind having too much money. The mountain residents' relocation expenses, new home construction expenses, homeland loss expenses, and spiritual compensation expenses should at least be paid by the buyers. There are excavation fees, cooperation fees, and tolls. Calculated roughly, why don’t the buyers pay thousands of pounds? Don’t think it’s too expensive for them. If they think it’s too expensive, just increase it by a thousand pounds, one thousand pounds at a time.”

"Is this okay?" Miss Valente was stunned.

"Of course." Lin Qi curled his lips. Old-fashioned outsiders, you have never heard of demolition compensation and nail households, right?

"You should discuss this matter with Elder Nickle, and the Valente family can help." Miss Valente said with a dry smile, "I will take you to see him tomorrow night."

"Not tomorrow. I have an invitation to a cocktail party tomorrow."

Lin Qi suddenly realized that the person in front of him was a great aristocrat, and his status was no lower than that of the princess. He immediately recounted the whole incident to Miss Valente. Unexpectedly, as she listened, the aristocratic lady's eyes almost glowed. of light.

What a shame, I forgot that this girl is a fan of detective novels.

"This is interesting. I'll go with you tomorrow."

"Invitation, invitation, please give it to me alone."

"Oh, there are three representatives of the Earls of Rand family in Rhine City. No matter what kind of princess she is, if she dares to miss any one of them in the event, she will be nailed as a laughing stock in the next few decades." Miss Valente's tone Of course, "Come on, come home with me. I'll have someone dig through the trash can and I should be able to pick up the invitation letter."

Lin Qi's expression was subtle, telling himself that just smiling at this time would be enough.
