The red moon returns

Chapter 357 The Scarlet Lady’s Compassion (two chapters in one)

When humans think, gods laugh.

This is not derogation or contempt, but it is difficult for mortal creatures to communicate with higher levels of existence and thinking, unless they stay in the souls of others like some people do, thereby forcibly lowering their level to that of a mortal. understandable level.

Therefore, Lynch did not bother to figure out why the goddess of the night was looking for him. On the one hand, the analysis is based on normal logic and causal relationships. Analysis that cannot establish logical relationships is called blindness and a waste of time. On the other hand... …

That is the mother of my neighbor in the sense of mythological genealogy. Although it is different from the mother understood by humans, there is still a certain similarity from the perspective of the relationship between the gods.

The neighbor's old lady asked people to come to her house for dinner in the evening. There were not many people who considered whether she was going to trick them into traveling to a small country, but not many, at least not Lynch.

'Right, neighbor. '

[You'd better not trust her too much, Lynch. 】

'Um? '

Luna's gentle thoughts were a little more solemn:

'Isn't she a good god? '

'so? '

Lin Qi wasn't just hiding behind the bushes to listen to the people passing by. He found that this was really a good place for eavesdropping.

But this is like a nightmare for an otaku like Lynch. Wouldn’t it be nice if you have time to watch Detective Moriarty at home? Why do you come here? It’s so scary.

Lin Qi sighed deeply and already had a rough guess. However, since the neighbor was willing to remind him of this matter, it meant that the problem was not big and it would not affect his mood. In fact, he was a little happy.

Especially now that he is no longer the transparent person he was when he first woke up. After nearly fifty days of hard work, his reputation has gradually become louder and louder. Those well-dressed gentlemen who pass by have to say hello and say a few words. Lin Qimao is shocked, even if You must bother me. Wouldn't it be better to use a group of beautiful ladies instead? For example, that glamorous lady who looks a bit familiar. Hey, no, isn't that the cat girl Hathaway? Why are the cultists also invited? Forget it, you still Don't come here, slip away.

There are more and more people. It is estimated that there are already two to three hundred people gathered. When I entered the door, I asked the butler who greeted the guests. There may be thousands of guests coming today.

However, when he was doing the final processing on the last sculpture of the Sigh of the Night Goddess and carving the end of the scepter of night in the goddess's hand, perhaps the master was exhausted mentally and physically. With a shake of his hand, he smashed a piece of the end of the scepter, leaving the entire statue The group was no longer perfect, and the master vomited blood and died on the spot. The blood spurted out was the final decoration of the statue.

This is so scary. How did Diana survive the last time she pretended to be me?

It is said to be the work of Baron Willen, a master of art from the Fourth Age. It took him twenty years to create this set of sculptures of the Day of the Arrival of the Gods. It is flawless and represents the master’s lifelong efforts.

'So she might do something bad to us? '

Bowing goodbye to Archbishop Trinleth, Lynch left the dangerous backyard, where not only lions and tigers were rampant, but there were also people slashing at each other with swords, or shooting randomly with pistols and rifles. Using his own marksmanship to bring them in, Lynch felt that the guests at the back might not be dead enough, so he decided to stay far away from there, and it would be safer to go to the front yard.

[There is no such thing as good or bad, we just have different purposes. But the effects of the purpose can be good or bad for mortals. 】

Just on the side of the castle, Lynch went directly into the small garden on one side. There were relatively few people here, and Lynch let out a sigh of relief.

'I see. ’

social contact.

This is the best social venue, the favorite stage for gentlemen and ladies from the upper class. At this time, the young people are showing off themselves like peacocks, while the mature and steady elders are gentle and restrained, complimenting each other with smiles on their faces. , with different behaviors but the same purpose.

Looking around, the garden is relatively small, only about the size of two or three football fields. It is divided like a maze by flowers and shrubs, and there are dozens of large stone sculptures two or three people high in the center.

[I’m not referring to this matter, I’m referring to her herself. 】

[The night is always a haven for Shuangyue to rest. She will not be malicious to me, but... it may not be true for you, not this time, but don't let down your guard against her at any time. 】

[There may be shadows hidden under the light, the sun itself may have dark spots, and the moon in the night sky may also shine, but darkness... will never turn white. 】

"Have you heard that Her Royal Highness's hobbies are different from others? I don't know, she doesn't have a man around her, but she has more maids than Prince William."

I'm not tired anymore when you say this, let's talk about my hobbies in detail.

"The birthday celebration of the Queen Mother Friedman on the other side is about to begin. It is said that she is most satisfied with the gifts from our country, but she is even more satisfied with the recovered necklace. It is said that the Queen Mother will ask for it every time she takes it out and shows it. Excitedly telling others about its thrilling journey.”

It's so thrilling, it's fake, I spent five minutes making it up, you idiot.

"Big secret, former Mayor Howard is dead, it should be the secret work of our great King. He is the leader of the local council, smear him and pull him out of office, and then secretly kill him to eliminate all evidence, even the body Don’t dare let others see it. Hehe, His Majesty’s thoughts are too beautiful, but it’s a pity that others are smart.”

"I've also heard that Nolin's place has been very lively recently. The conflicts between the gentlemen in the House of Lords and the gentlemen in the House of Commons have almost intensified. Several conflicts have broken out, and it is said that there are even bloodshed."

"Hey, Princess Sophia was attacked a few days ago. The king's old dog suspected that someone from the Rhine City Council hired someone to do it in order to avenge Howard's death."

"Is it really them?"

"Who knows, and so what if it's true, I'll see how this ends."

Phew, it seems that there is something really not simple behind this matter.

The people he was talking to all left, but Lynch was still sitting on the stone bench, lighting his pipe and lost in thought.

In these few contacts with the so-called king's old dog, Baron Bolvar, Lynch only told the other party his guesses and analysis. The other party did not share everything behind it with him, nor did he tell him how he would deal with it.

He thought this was quite reasonable. He was just a layman, and it was good that the other party was willing to listen to his opinions. It was impossible to tell him everything, especially various safety measures.

For example, what happened today was that his suggestions of strengthening security, checking identities, and not allowing vehicles that easily conceal dangerous goods were adopted. However, he believed that the other party must have taken many other measures that he didn't know about, just like the day before yesterday. It's like adding an extra layer of substitute insurance.

I hope I'm too sensitive and no one will cause trouble at the dance, and no one's insurance measures will be needed in the end.

Sighing deeply, Lynch was thinking about it when he suddenly felt a sharp stabbing pain in his brain, like being pierced by countless steel needles.

No, a strong person appears.

The last time Lynch felt this way, he was facing the cultist of the Ancient Flicker, the seventh-level Kelvin. Only a high-level soul-shifter could have such a big reaction to his inspiration.

He quickly rolled his eyes and looked around. Before he could find his target, a sound of footsteps came out of the bushes behind him. "The collections shown just now are actually not very valuable. The really valuable ones have been hidden by Wayne, but he can't hide the one in front of him, which is the most famous one, the blood-stained Night Goddess." An old man The voice walked and said, "I came here once when I was young. It is indeed an ancient artifact from the Quaternary Period and is of great research value. Since he dared to invite us temporarily today, we must take the opportunity to study them all. We cannot let go of such Good opportunity.”

Why are you still so cunning and want to gain knowledge for nothing? Have you been doing this for more than eighty years?
Lynch immediately heard the identity of the other party, Ole, the chairman of the Archaeological Association, the top combat power in Rhine City, with an eighth level of power.

However, invited temporarily? Is this how Bolvar and Duke Wein responded?
It's just to prevent an assassination, and it's just a guess. There's no need to put nuclear warheads out there to scare people. Or maybe I guessed it right, they really discovered some serious crisis.

For a moment, Lin Qi felt an ominous premonition in his heart, but before he could think about it, a group of people had already come out of the bushes and happened to meet him head-on.

"Mr. Leviv, we meet again." Chairman Ole nodded proactively, his voice full of energy, "The exam question this time is about the Yark Dynasty of the Third Age. The nobles of the Yark Dynasty are all Worshiping Lake Dweller Glaki, they will carve the guardian on the tomb door, so the question is what is the image of the guardian."

Old guy, you're doing this again. If I couldn't beat you, I would go over and beat you now. Damn free prostitute, disrespectful and shameless.

Lin Qi gritted his teeth angrily, but still couldn't laugh or cry and replied: "A fat man with long arms and legs and no head."

"Igoronak, it seems that you are right. The Yarks are indeed worshipers of Glaaki. Many royal families have been made servants of Glaaki."

A group of professors looked at each other for a while, each of them beaming with joy, as if they had found a treasure. This made Lin Qi a little confused, is this really valuable knowledge? Not so happy.

However, as soon as the idea came to him, the old chairman's words were like a bucket of cold water poured down on him.

"Second question, did you hide the Revelation of Glaaki?"

???

"What, what is the Geraki Begging Road? Is it delicious?" Lynch experienced the subtle feeling of guilty conscience for the first time, and said with erratic eyes, "Can you hide it?"

A group of old men sighed, and Lin Qi's former teacher said angrily: "What are you listening to in class? There will be records in the tomb of important funerary objects. If you want to pretend to be stupid, destroy the records first. And the most important thing is The funerary objects and display cabinets are protected and will not be lost if they collapse, they can only be taken away.”

Um? And this thing? Lin Qi blinked innocently, no, you must have missed it in class.

"Don't look at me, I don't have this kind of student."

Seeing that the old professor was about to commit suicide in shame and anger, Lynch could only smile awkwardly: "Maybe someone else took away the three... burial objects, and there may not necessarily be the Apocalypse of Glaaki in it, haha Ha ha."

"The forces that worship Glachi often have the custom of making copies of the Book of Revelation, which is very bloody. They will force illiterate slaves and prisoners of war to make copies, copying them letter by letter, and they will go crazy after copying a few words. The slave is executed, and another consumable is used to continue copying. Therefore, a copy of a few hundred words may contain the souls of thousands or even tens of thousands of slaves. Of course, this is not the point. The point is the Book of Revelation itself. There is Yi Ge on the door. Ronak Guard, 100% contains a copy of the Apocalypse of Glaaki."

Chairman Ole explained in person:

"We don't want to discuss the issue of burial objects with you, child. In fact, your contribution makes you eligible to take any burial objects. We have nothing to say about this. But only Revelation, you took away the real thing. It's useless, unless you like to lose your mind, and that thing is very dangerous. Once you read any page, Igoronak, the servant of Glaaki, will be lurking around you, waiting for an opportunity to kill you with your current strength. , it’s hard to escape, so you’re putting a noose on yourself by holding it.”

Really? I do not believe. You're such a bad old man.

In fact, Lin Qi already believed it, but he was still a little hesitant.

Do you want me to spit out what's in your mouth?

"We're not the kind of people who take your stuff for free."

No, you are the ones who had it for nothing last time.

"Give us the Apocalypse, and we won't ask about other burial objects. We will also give you a disaster-level rare item, the value of which is no less than the copy of the Apocalypse of Glachi. In addition, we can also promise that once you are strong enough, you can come at any time Read this transcript in the association, although I don’t understand what this behavior will do for you. In addition, if you find any transcripts of the Apocalypse in the future, you can give them to the association, and we will exchange them for valuable things.”

Lin Qi was really tempted.

He was worried about how to deal with this thing. If it were handed over to the Archaeological Association, at least Natalie would not worry about causing a disaster, and in this way, he would no longer have to bear the psychological burden of having committed tomb robbing.

"What is the strange object?"

When Chairman Ole heard this, his beard trembled with laughter. He closed and opened his right hand, and there was a seemingly silver ring in his palm. "The Crimson Lament absorbs the wearer's own energy every day. When used, Shoots a beam of moonlight with single-target attack power at the target, once a day, but the power increases with the accumulation of wearing time. The minimum power is equal to the median destructive power of the second-level power, and the maximum power can be reached after one month of accumulation, which is equivalent to the sixth-level power. Median destructive power. In addition, as your strength increases, the time to accumulate maximum power will be shortened accordingly. After level six, it can reach the minimum time of one day. "

[Ms. Scarlet’s compassion, may my compassion turn into moonlight and wash away all the sins in the world]

Hiss... Lin Qi's expression stiffened. Now he relies on recklessness to hit people, and his attack power is seriously insufficient. This thing comes at the right time. Although the sixth-level ability can only be used once a month, it is a big killer. It's not for casual use. After a few days of daily accumulation, the power of two or three levels is enough.

The key is……

'Neighbor. ’

[Well, this is not the memory of Red Moon, but it is the memory of Red Moon by the world, similar to the passion of a fiery lady. 】

There was no need to hesitate. Lin Qi grabbed the ring and put it on his index finger.

'You're so ugly, neighbor, and people have a bad impression of you. '

[You can sacrifice it to me, so that you won’t be ugly. 】

'Don't even think about it, I won't take it off. '

Lin Qi stroked the ring, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said seriously: "Well, I'm not too interested, but we are all old friends, so just accept it reluctantly. I will send the transcript to the Archaeological Association tomorrow. "

Bang bang bang, a group of old men started high-fiving each other, and they didn’t know who was suffering.

After admiring the ugly silver ring for a while, Lin Qi finally remembered the business: "This is not the first time that the Governor's Palace has held an event in recent years. Several gentlemen have not come for many years. Why are they interested in coming today?"

"The Duke invited me temporarily today, saying that there might be a situation where we need to rely on the chairman."

Lin Qi's teacher said something vaguely, then surrounded Chairman Ole and rushed towards the statues.

really.

The good mood was cast a shadow, and the underlying uneasiness became stronger.
