The red moon returns

Chapter 205 Professor Green
The plan of the White Wolf with Empty Gloves was implemented very smoothly, and everything was as Lynch expected. Not only was it fruitful, but it also connected with the Archaeological Association. The future cooperation will be smooth and intimate. Just like the information about advent-level rare objects, the confidentiality level should be very high under normal circumstances, but with a stroke of his pen, Chairman Ole approved Lynch's investigation request on the spot.

It seems that the seemingly ordinary business war routines in previous life dramas are actually the experience accumulated over decades in the era of information explosion, and they are still quite effective for people in the Victorian era.

The people of the Archaeological Association seemed to have taken advantage of them. As soon as the two left the chairman's office, excited cheers came from the door, which was so intense that Lynch was a little worried about whether there was something wrong with the two little old men's hearts.

Miss Valente finally couldn't bear it anymore. As soon as she left the office, she pulled Lynch to a corner and asked, "Elder Nicklay only knew that the ancient city was under Best Mountain, and didn't know at all." The specific location, so we actually can’t even provide the specific location.”

Lynch said firmly: "Don't worry, we don't actually need to know the specific location of Zul'Glassar. Grant and Chief Blue have already provided it. It will definitely appear during the tunnel project, otherwise the sewer ghouls will not be there." They will use tunnel construction to force the ancient city to appear."

"So we actually can't get anything out? Just by going around a few of them, we got tens of thousands of pounds in compensation for the mountain residents, as well as a bunch of promises from the Archaeological Association? Many of them are It's a very ancient and powerful object. How could they accept it? Mr. Lynch, you must be careful."

This was beyond her knowledge, and Miss Valente looked at Lynch with worry.

Lynch smiled with some emotion. He knew that this was the limitation of the times. No one in this era had come up with such a method: "But in fact, they all accepted it, and they even wanted to say thank you to us."

Miss Valente breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, the two little old men had thanked them so much just now. They were more cordial than seeing Saint Nightingale, as if they had seen immortality and the Supreme coming to the world. But she still felt uneasy for Lynch and asked: "Why is this happening? Sorry, if you ask too much, I take back the question."

Lynch did not hide anything and explained patiently: "There is no need to take it back. It's not a sophisticated skill, it's just a simple information gap. They each have what they want, and there are also things that others don't have. As long as we guess them own their possessions and needs, and then use the names of other parties to deal with them, so that their needs are met without paying more than their psychological price, and a result that everyone is satisfied with can be obtained. For the vast majority of people, I would be happy to accept it.”

Seeing Miss Valente take a step back and looking at him with horror like a mysterious alien, Lynch glared at her and explained:
"Actually, the main interest is still in the Governor's Mansion, but what it is specifically needs to be considered by yourself."

Miss Valente pointed at herself and Lynch with a subtle expression.

"Of course, Grant has to pay a large amount of money, the sewer ghouls have to pay for the location of Zul'Glassar, and the Archaeological Association has to undertake the specific work of excavation and academic support. There will be a lot of trouble later, but what about the Governor's Mansion?"

Miss Valente asked in surprise: "Is there one in the Governor's Palace too?"

Miss Valente covered her mouth, looking thoughtful, staring at Lynch with her big eyes, not knowing what she was thinking. Lin Qi didn't care and continued:
"Actually, those were just appetizers, and they were just small goals at most. We haven't gone to the Governor's Mansion yet, the main meal is there."

"We have also done coordination work and paid our moral standards, right? Ahem, in short, in order to ensure fairness to the other parties we represent, we have to ask the Governor's Mansion to pay more."

"You don't know? Oh, my red moon." Lynch exclaimed in a contrived translation accent.

"They can get the reputation of subsidizing the victims of the Square Massacre, and they can get the ruins of a huge ancient city on the edge of the city out of thin air. The future development and operation can bring a very considerable income, and it can also bring a huge reputation to the Wien family. , and their contribution is just to handle all official matters without setting up obstacles for other parties? Is this reasonable? How can there be any good thing that only takes benefits without paying anything."

"As long as several parties are satisfied, then we can mix our own interests into it and get enough benefits without paying any price. Just control their total contribution so that it does not exceed the range of their hearts. Not only will they not Will object, but will happily chase after us to say thank you. Oh, some people may not be willing to express gratitude. After all, some people have paid too much, but who made him so greedy and have the food all to himself? Avoiding bankruptcy and being able to make a little more money is already the greatest luck.”

Miss Valente was stunned: "Me? The Valente family also has a share? Why?"

'...Don't cause trouble. Lynch almost choked to death. He coughed a few times before he recovered, and said to Miss Valente, "The most important thing about this kind of cooperation is that everyone can get enough benefits and it is equal to everyone. Of course, maybe It is more equal to several of the parties. Therefore, it is impossible to miss the interests of the Valente family. Don’t forget that a large part of the mountains that the tunnel passes through is the territory of the Valente family, which is the direct interest of the Valente family. . If you operate it properly, you may be able to exchange your territory for part of the revenue of the entire railway. The steam engine has brought Rand into the era of railways. This is also a good idea, but it depends on your own ideas."

"There is no rush about the Governor's Mansion. You can take your time and think about it. Let's go meet that crazy Yangliu in his dream first."

Miss Valente frowned slightly, Lynch's suggestion that transcended the times made her fall into deep thought. She realized that what Lynch said was unprecedented, but when she thought about it, it was humane and common sense. The Valente family might really be able to get a large share of the benefits from it. But caution must be exercised so as not to get the family into trouble.

【I am here. 】

While plotting, the two of them had already taken the approval letter from Chairman Ole and walked into a hall on the second underground floor of the museum.

As soon as you enter the door, a cold and decaying atmosphere hits your face, as if you are in an ancient tomb.

There are many display cabinets around, with all kinds of dirty debris inside. Ancient statues and totems are piled in the corners. The beating light of the gas lamp shines on these ancient objects, and the shadows shake and twist from time to time, making the strange ancient objects look like they are alive. Same. Professor Green, a white-haired little old man with rosacea, was standing in the middle of the hall with a group of people, with a large skeleton in front of him.

The skeleton seemed to be that of some large animal, with a body like a horse, a head like a bird, hooves on the hind limbs, sharp claws on the forelimbs, and a pair of bat wings on its back.

Although it was just a skeleton specimen, Lynch felt a burst of instinctive disgust and nausea when he saw it, as if it was some weird and evil mysterious alien.

Professor Green was staring at the skeleton intently. After a few seconds, he suddenly took the notebook handed over by others, placed his right hand on the open page, and slowly brushed the paper with his palm.

As he moved, a lifelike skeleton portrait emerged from under his hand, which was clearer and more realistic than a black and white photo.

[Power, painting, ability, copying. 】

After holding up his work and comparing it with the skeleton for a moment, Professor Green nodded with satisfaction and stared at Lynch and Miss Valente impatiently.

"Aren't you okay? Why are you here again? Don't disturb our research. The things buried in the soil are much cuter than you. I don't want to waste time looking at your appearance. When you show off like it, I might still I can be a little interested."

It's so explicit.

Lynch sighed at the skeleton and handed over the approval letter from Chairman Ole.

"Cooperating with your investigation? Are you kidding me?" Professor Green's rosacea became even redder, and he became furious on the spot. "My time is so precious. This complete skeleton of Bayaki is waiting for me. This may make me Why should I waste my precious time on you for this rare opportunity to win the Rand Archaeological Medal?"

"Hmm... maybe, because I am an investor?" Lynch imitated the same tone and movements of Professor Green not long ago, scratched his head and asked, "Maybe because I have brought a large amount of funds, your research can also A portion?"

The old professor fell into silence. Just when Lynch was worried that he couldn't make a joke and would be angry, he suddenly threw away the notebook in his hand and took Lynch's hand. The smile on his face made his nose glow red. , and excitedly pulled him towards the side of the office.

"I told you earlier. Come in and sit down. Why don't you bring out my best coffee to entertain you two? Please sit inside. The investors here are as great as the twelve gods. What do you two want? If you want to investigate anything, just ask, I will fully cooperate."

Hiss, Lynch finally realized that everyone in the Archaeological Association was really sick. Seeing that Miss Valente was covering her mouth and unable to straighten up, he knew that this girl was unreliable, so he had to answer with a dry smile: "The door between fiction and reality, the chairman said you know it better."

The smile suddenly froze, and the sharp eyes hit Lin Qi's face. Lin Qi didn't say anything, but just smiled leisurely and looked at him calmly.

Looking at Lynch and then at the approval document in his hand, Professor Green hesitated for a moment, then frowned and said: "That is a very disgusting strange object, advent level, the image is..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qi quickly took out his detective notebook and pen to record information in the notebook. However, the pen tip automatically cracked as soon as it touched the paper, as if he had used too much force.

what's the situation?
When he looked up again, he found Professor Green and Miss Valente looking at him with extremely strange and admiring eyes.

"I have been studying archeology for forty years, and this is the first time I have seen someone who dares to directly try to record information about advent-level wonders." Professor Green rubbed his nose and said in horror, "You are planning to directly create advent-level mysteries. A document? A mysterious document of that level cannot be completed without preparing hundreds of lives to be sacrificed, or are you planning to drain your soul to try it?"

???

Only then did Lynch realize how many dangerous and stupid things he had inadvertently done. Sure enough, the mysterious world is full of counterintuitive and weird things. He must use his brain more before doing things in the future.

Smiling awkwardly, Lynch put away his notebook and said, "It was a mistake, a momentary instinct, what do you think the image of that thing is?"

“A mirror, tainted with the power of reproduction, can transform falsehood into reality, or to put it more vividly, turn the image reflected in the mirror into reality.”
