The red moon returns

Chapter 455: Invitation from the Valente Family

July 1399, 7, fog.

Finally leaving the world of memories that was always shrouded in murderous intent and returning to his safe and comfortable home, Lynch fell asleep as soon as he got home last night and slept until seven o'clock this morning before waking up naturally.

Alas, since I traveled through time, I am no longer a social animal. I can only sleep until I wake up naturally every day. I don’t even have the chance to use an alarm clock. It’s a pity to think about it.

With a melancholy sigh, Lynch changed into light clothes and trotted out the door.

The reason why most of those warriors in my hometown who are determined to exercise can only persist for three days is that they are not under enough pressure. If they are also in a situation where they must strengthen their physical fitness or they may die at any time, they will definitely train harder than anyone else.

That was what Lynch did, so he resumed his morning exercise the next day after his return, jogging all the way to the Police Club.

He first practiced cane fighting and then shooting. I don't know if it was because of the improved body control brought about by the upgrade, but his shooting skills improved rapidly in the past month, from chasing his coach with every shot in the beginning to now most of his bullets can hit the target.

The coach hiding behind the bunker burst into tears and kept thanking some random god for making his student seem like a different person.

Lynch was also very happy, so the last shot finally missed the target. After bouncing on the gas pipe several times, the bullet brushed the coach's head and went into the table that served as a shelter.

Very good, this is a complete training session.

Lynch patted his almost petrified coach with satisfaction, smiled and left the Police Club with his cane, all the way to the door of Crown Plaza City Hall.

I will go to the Mystic Tower to meet with President Gulman later. The meeting place agreed with the two ladies is here.

That very familiar place, the open-air cafe in front of the city hall, where I met Miss Diana.

No matter how the undercurrents surge in the darkness, the world under the sun is always calm. People come and go in the Crown Plaza, and the expensive coffee shops are filled with well-dressed gentlemen and ladies, talking in soft voices and laughing.

I took out my pocket watch and looked at it. It was half past seven. Hmm, it looks like this old watch is broken again.

This is something left behind by the original owner of this body. It seems like it's time to retire.

Looking back at the Honesty Clock in the Hall of Order, it was half past nine, half an hour before the agreed time. Lynch looked around and saw that the two ladies had not arrived yet.

Find a place to wait, there are not many empty seats left. He walked towards an empty seat, but when he was halfway there, he suddenly stopped.

Inspiration sent back a special message.

【Karina's exquisite makeup】

Ok?
Lynch looked around and saw quite a few people in the area, both men and women, young and old. Everyone was busy with their own things and no one paid any attention to Lynch, who was in casual clothes.

Tsk, this girl is up to this again.

His eyes quickly scanned the faces of the people around him for just a few seconds, and then he walked towards a young lady.

A girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed like a company clerk, looks totally out of place in this environment.

But Lynch still walked straight over, bowed gracefully in front of the girl, and said with a smile: "Madam, may I have the honor to sit opposite you?"

"No." The girl's eyes curved into crescents and she said softly, "Not across from me, beside me, or behind me."

"Well, then I can only pick you up and sit you in your seat."

"Mr. Lynch!" The Countess glared at him with a red face and turned her head away from him, but the smile between her eyebrows betrayed her. Seeing Lynch sitting down consciously, Diana couldn't help but asked curiously, "How did you find me this time? Have I been exposed anywhere?" He looked curious and seemed to be looking forward to hearing Lynch's wonderful analysis and reasoning like last time, but Lynch just smiled.

"Nothing is exposed, but after knowing each other for so long, it would be unworthy of me if I still can't recognize you at first sight. Your eyes are so familiar, it would be hard for me not to recognize you."

The countess was startled, her eyes full of tenderness, she wrinkled her nose and snorted, "It's qualified. I reluctantly agree to let you sit opposite me, but you have to buy me coffee."

"Hey, you just ran away last time. Are all you rich people so stingy?"

"Of course. Where do you think our money comes from? It's all saved by thriftiness."

"A frugal meal of veal tenderloin and a thirst quencher of moonshine."

"Correct."

The free coffee was delicious. Under the smiling gaze of the Countess, Lynch had another cup to relieve the water he had consumed during the exercise.

Miss Diana kept looking at him with her chin in her hand until he put down the cup. Then she asked seriously, "Father's reply arrived these few days."

"what?"

"About the Best Mountain Tunnel incident." Diana explained in a low voice, "I told him your thoughts."

Previously, relying on the information gap, Lynch negotiated and coordinated with Speaker Grant, the Archaeological Association, the Duke's Palace, and the Valente family, who were part owners of Mount Best. Finally, after tricking Grant, he successfully promoted the tunnel project and the excavation project of Zul'Grasal.

As for the Valente family, the tunnel would occupy their fiefdom, which was not free. According to convention, in addition to choosing another equal fiefdom, they were also required to give 10% of the fiefdom as compensation.

For the nobles in this world, land is what they value most, and most of their income comes from land. But Lynch has the knowledge from his previous life, and he knows very well that the Steam Age is an era full of changes. The old world structure is being broken, and a new structure is slowly being established. And only he knows clearly what an important railway in the Steam Age means.

The huge wealth is just the least noticeable one among them.

Therefore, Lynch mentioned to Miss Diana at that time that exchanging more land was actually a bit of a loss, and there were more favorable conditions. At that time, it was just a remark. Such old nobles have their own principles and considerations. I didn't expect Miss Diana to really convey her opinion.

"My father hopes to have a chance to meet you to discuss this matter in detail. He is very interested in what you said. If you want to go to the capital, Norlin, I will go back with you and take you to meet my father to discuss this matter in detail."

Girl, are you sure you just want to discuss this in detail?

Lynch looked at the Countess with a strange expression, but Diana just turned her head away, her cheeks slightly flushed. "Anyway, before Prince William's coronation ceremony on July 7, you will definitely be urged by Sofia to go to the capital. I will go with you then."

"Okay, I get it. I'll go."

Lin Qi sighed inwardly. The two girls' actions were surprisingly consistent. Since they were planning to go to the cemetery, Wang Du would definitely have to make a trip to Norin as well.

"Where are you going?"

Natalie's voice came from not far away. Lynch turned his head and saw that the girl had changed into a long skirt. Her tall figure had a different kind of beauty against the long skirt. However, this question...

"Let's go to the Mystic Tower. Come on, everyone is here, it's time to set off."

As I said this, I was muttering to myself, am I such a scumbag?
No, absolutely not.
