The red moon returns

Chapter 276 Unexpected Request

All forces stood still and allowed the second-level rookie, who could miss even a sap, to charge forward, but Lynch did not feel aggrieved.

On the one hand, wealth can be gained through danger, and only by giving can you gain. This is the nature of the world. Taking risks can make your path to immortality smoother.

On the other hand, the past month of life has allowed him to gradually understand the situation in this world. All parties and top powerhouses restrain and care about each other, and no one can act arbitrarily. It's not that they don't want to move, it's that they can't move. Just like using weapons of mass destruction in previous lives, they must have a compelling excuse, such as previous tributes being robbed and pirates invading, before they can appear.

Now Lynch is creating excuses.

As long as I am responsible for facilitating the ceremony and keeping an eye on the whole process to prevent it from getting out of control, the rest can be left to outsiders to consider.

A descendant of a nobleman and a secret policeman, Lynch believed that with their abilities and their tacit understanding, they would be able to perfectly coordinate everything outside.

I'll charge at the front, and I'll leave everything else to you. I leave my back to you to protect me, you are all my wings.

Hehehe, I finally said this.

[In the age of mythology, those who were too perverted would be punished by God. 】

Surrounding the stone slab is an open garden, and a gravel path leads directly to the three-story mansion in the distance. The mansion has about forty or fifty rooms, and it looks quite grand from a distance. More than half of the room had lights on, and it seemed like there were quite a few people living there.

Just halfway through, still fifty or sixty meters away from the mansion, a burst of fire burst out from the mansion. More than a dozen servants, led by a man dressed as a butler, came out holding lanterns.

Although Walker always kept a little distance from Lynch, fearing to come within one meter of him, his attitude was still impeccable. He introduced Lynch to the manor at his feet like a hospitable host. As the distance approached, Lynch discovered This manor is larger than the Valente family's mansion, and it is full of life, completely different from the weird environment you imagined.

Walker pointed at the servants who were coming and said:
"You may need to stay here for a few days. Don't worry, Mr. Franklin, the butler, will take care of all your needs. Just tell the servant if you need anything. The servant will take you to the guest room to settle down first. Details The owner of the manor will discuss it with you after the situation has passed."

"Please come this way." Walker made a guiding gesture towards the path, "I will introduce you to a friend. He is the owner of this manor and is waiting for our triumphant return inside."

As soon as Lin Qi appeared, he keenly noticed that there was a flat stone slab under his feet. There were densely packed strange symbols carved on the stone slab, and the three of them were standing in the center of the symbols.

'Hey, neighbor, you can't do this. '

Unfortunately, the random thoughts in his mind could not dissipate Lynch's nervousness.

His heart was tense for a long time, and he relied on the fan to cover up his true emotions.

Walking with a group of dangerous enemies under a disguised identity, go deep into the enemy's lair to explore a huge conspiracy, and seek skin from the tiger. If you are not careful, you will be doomed. How could Lin Qi, who was born as an otaku, not be afraid?

The moment before the teleportation occurred, all kinds of strange imaginations appeared repeatedly in my mind, such as the gloomy castle, the dark cellar, the rolling pool of blood, the struggling sacrifices, the tragic wails...

None of the terrifying surroundings he imagined appeared, and he was in a manor with beautiful scenery.

How many days will you stay? It seemed that the situation was more troublesome than imagined, and he thought it was an enemy nest where demons were dancing, but he didn't expect it to be in this kind of environment. However, Lin Qi did not relax at all, because as he approached the mansion, there were countless peeping people. The eyes shot out from those brightly lit rooms, staring at him.

'ha? Didn’t you say you don’t discriminate against perverts? '

Lynch nodded, followed Walker and Mr. Kelvin out of the stone slab, and looked around calmly.

"Let me introduce you, Ms. Selene."

[Because all perverts were killed by divine punishment. 】

"Ms. Selene, welcome to Riverside Manor."

"This is the Gap District on the outskirts of the northern Rhine. Although it is a bit close to the cemetery, the air is fresh and you can hardly see the fog that pervades the city all year round. The scenery is beautiful. Many wealthy people like to buy real estate here."

After a daze, Lin Qi realized that he was still in the night, bathed in the crimson moonlight, and his chaotic heart quickly calmed down.

Adjacent to the Rand River, the surging river water can be heard in the night wind, the surrounding view is wide, and the lights are bright in the distance.

That was by no means an ordinary peek. Lin Qi could feel the indescribable power coming out of his sight. Every glance seemed to contain endless malice. Just a distant peek could make Lin Qi feel a wave of pain on his skin. Tremble.

Fortunately, the housekeepers and servants are all ordinary people, which means that this is an environment where ordinary people can live safely in the short term without worrying about seeing evil gods smiling at people as soon as they open the door. However, almost all of these ordinary people are contaminated with mysterious filth. Although it is very rare, everyone has it. This means that among the people and things they come into contact with on a daily basis, there are often targets with a high concentration of mysterious filth.

Hiss, it seems like there are really a lot of incredible things hidden here.

Just standing in front of the mansion for a moment, with keen inspiration, Lynch had already made a preliminary judgment on the situation in the manor. But now that he was here, Lynch had completely let go and brought himself into the mood of a truly swollen girl. , the corners of the mouth covered by the fan were slightly raised, but the joking smile could not hide the coldness in the eyes, and he looked back at the places in the line of sight that showed the strongest pressure.

Look at your sister, believers of the evil god will not tolerate your problems. Let me see which one of you is spying on me.

As he looked past, the curtains that had been raised at one corner were lowered one after another, but there were still two curtains behind which the filthy sense of voyeurism still existed, and the pressure was even greater. Hum, very good.

The look in his charming eyes became colder and colder. Lynch flipped his wrist, and a parchment book appeared on the white and slender cane.

Having absorbed the lesson from Zul'Glasal's lack of preparation last time, this time Miss Valente directly lent Lynch the Space Rare Object Bracelet, which was filled with various strategic materials. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is now equivalent to a small arsenal. At least Lynch does not know where else besides the arsenal there are four shells for coastal defense artillery.

Lin Qi didn't know where this thing came from, and he didn't dare to ask. Anyway, he just took it with him. In comparison, there were only a few pitiful items that originally belonged to him.

Among them is the Mysterious Black Fan Goddess of the Swollen Daughter.

This thing is a secret book used by the swollen girl to increase her abilities. It is of no use to Lynch anymore, but this does not prevent him from using it to scare people. The thick evil information on it is enough to cause everyone to misunderstand, especially those who have been Walker and Kelvin were scared once.

"Ms. Selene, please calm down, this is a city." Walker took a step forward and stood between Lynch and the window, saying with a cold sweat, "They don't mean any harm, please don't be angry."

With Walker's insertion, the two lines of sight also disappeared behind the curtains. Lynch put away the parchment, glanced at the window that projected the line of sight with a half-smile, and sneered softly:
"Take me to meet the owner of this place first. After meeting him, I will decide whether to stay here for a few days."

Walker was stunned and nodded helplessly: "As you wish, then please come with me. Mr. Kelvin, I'm sorry, I'll excuse you now."

With that said, he led Lin Qi towards the depths of the mansion.

Walking in the long corridor, the ubiquitous sense of peeping still came from all directions, but the sense of oppression caused by the mystery was no longer there. Lynch did not continue to tit for tat this time, but just rolled his eyelids upward. Ignoring the prying eyes, she followed Walker gracefully and walked into a heavy double door under his leadership.

Mansion study.

The study was brightly lit, and an unexpected person was sitting on the sofa.

He was wearing a formal hat, his hair was meticulously combed, and he had a neat mustache. He had a single-sided spectacles hanging around his neck, and his expression was shrewd and capable.

I have met several times, Mayor Howard Hoffman, the mayor of Rhine City, a representative figure in banking and business.

Seeing Walker leading Lynch through the door, the number one figure in the Rhine City Government did not show any surprise. He stood up and came forward with a joyful face, bowed to Lynch and said politely:

"It's an honor to meet that lady's representative, Ms. Selene. On behalf of Prince William, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to that lady for her help. I have been looking forward to this meeting for a long time. Please take a seat."

Sure enough it was Prince William. It seems that there is no problem with the previous guess.

Although he had already guessed that it was Prince William behind him, because Walker used the honorific title of 'Your Excellency' when he mentioned it before, he never directly mentioned his name, so it has never been verified. Fortunately, at this time Mayor Howard finally said the name directly, allowing Lynch to confirm it.

But why did the mayor call him by his first name instead of referring to your Excellency?

Is it because he has a higher status? Or is there some other reason that I don't know?

No, I haven't figured out the reason, so I can't talk casually, otherwise I'll be dead once exposed. Well, be safe and deal with it vaguely.

In the enemy's nest, Lin Qi did not dare to relax at all, and carefully analyzed every abnormality he noticed in his heart, but on the surface, he still covered his face with a fan and said in a lazy voice:

"I'm not the eldest sister's representative, and I don't know what kind of deal you have. I came here just because the eldest sister asked me to come and see the fun. The previous agreement did not include this invitation, let alone this meeting. I hate talking in circles, so I came to see you. If you have any questions, you'd better tell me directly. But let me declare first that I don't care what agreement you have with me. If you want me to do anything, just explain to me the cause and effect, and then I will decide whether to help or not."

Howard was obviously stunned and looked at Walker who was standing aside. Walker immediately took a few steps forward, took out the gem and handed it to the mayor, and then whispered in his ear.

I don't know what the two of them were thinking about, but Howard immediately showed a look of confusion, patted Walker's shoulder sympathetically, and asked him to sit next to him, and then gave Lynch a standard business smile:

"I understand your attitude, so let me tell you straight. Walker was able to bring back the gems this time only because of your help. We are very grateful. But since you have already received the reward, let's not mention it. I’m asking you to meet me this time because I need your help with something else.”

Lynch snorted noncommittally.

"Help us find the traitor and ensure the smooth progress of the ceremony."

???

Lin Qi tilted his head and felt question marks almost materially popping up from his head.

I suspect that I am the Emei Peak.

"Tell me clearly, what happened?"
