The red moon returns

Chapter 469 Lin Qi's Awakening

When we got back to the city of Rhine, it was almost dark.

The group rushed into the huge stone gate of the Knowledge Library as soon as possible.

It was still the familiar librarian who was receiving them. She was not surprised at all by the arrival of this group of people, as if she had expected it. Without even asking Lynch to explain their purpose, she calmly accepted the stone box without even opening it to take a look at it.

After sending the Book of the Dead, Lynch felt lost, yet relieved.

Even though he couldn't understand it and holding it was of no use except causing trouble, the book seemed to have magic, constantly attracting the holder, making him take the Book of the Dead as his own and carry it with him at all times.

Perhaps this is also the reason why the high priests of the mountain people dare not even touch it. They seem to be able to understand the words on it. Once they can't resist the attraction and flip through this strange book, they will follow the old path of their predecessors.

It was too dangerous. After much thought, Lin Qi decided to give it away. Although he was reluctant, at least he was debt-free and could take back the light of miracle with peace of mind.

Now all he had to do was wait patiently for Nightingale's results on preparing the medicine. If everything went well, he might not even have to use the Miracle Light. But even so, Lynch still wanted to get that thing.

Although it is uncertain, we can tell from the name that the divine power contained in this strange object, in addition to healing, is likely to contain the power of light. Regardless of whether it is the Crimson Moon or the Silver Moon, light must be one of their powers.

This power is what he urgently needs, so if he gets the rare object, even if he can't use it, he might be able to find a way to obtain the power of light from it. This thing is very attractive to Lynch.

But let's wait for news from Ms. Nightingale before making a decision. Now that we have handed over the Book of the Dead, we have the initiative and there is no need to rush.

Having put down the burden in his heart, Lynch was in a good mood. On a whim, he simply went back to Villa Street, called out Mrs. Maggie and little Martha, and took the four ladies, three adults and one child, straight to Latis Kitchen in the Gray Fog Area.

Although this restaurant is not the best in Rhine, many nobles and officials come here to dine because of its style and taste, so Diana does not feel uncomfortable. Moreover, he had promised little Martha to bring her here to enjoy a big meal, and today was the perfect time to fulfill his promise.

When Lynch came to this restaurant again, he felt as if he was in another world.

A few months ago, I was dragging a withered hand and had only five hours left to live. Death could come at any time. I supported myself with just one breath. Starting from here, I tried to take back my life step by step and walked all the way to now.

When he visits again now, the waiter is still the same waiter, but Lynch is no longer the same Lynch.

There were still a lot of people queuing at the door. Lynch originally felt a little embarrassed, but Miss Diana just smiled and told him a truth.

Privileges exist in every era. This privilege is not given to you, but is given to your identity. Whether you like it or not, as long as you have this identity, the privilege will always be with you and you cannot get rid of it until you lose this identity.

Lynch quickly understood what the Countess meant.

As soon as the group of people entered the door, before the waiter was embarrassed, Lynch just looked around the hall, and a guest who had just sat down took the initiative to stand up and respectfully invited the group of people to the seat he had finally booked, and happily changed places to eat. He was just a banker who had met once at the ball of the Duke's Mansion, but he could make a familiar face in front of the popular Sir Leviv and the rich lady, not to mention waiting for a night in vain, it was worth waiting for a day in vain.

Lynch felt the changes brought about by his change of identity for the first time and was a little confused for a moment, but Miss Diana just patted his arm considerately and led everyone to their seats.

The treatment was completely different from the last time I came. Although the waiter was still polite, he clearly showed the greatest enthusiasm.

People like Lynch don't even need to say what they want, they just need to think about it in their minds, and the waiters will quickly understand their needs through their expressions and eyes, and then meet them in time before they even give an order.

It was not flattery, but all the services were very comfortable, which made Lin Qi finally understand why so many people were desperate to climb up. The change of status brought about all-round changes, and the enjoyment of an almost completely different life experience. Although he did not like such a change very much, Lin Qi had to admit that it was indeed full of temptation.

Mrs. Maggie and little Martha were still not used to it, and seemed quite awkward and at a loss at first. Fortunately, they were soon attracted by the food, and from time to time they glanced at Lynch with worried eyes, especially after hearing Lynch mentioned that he might go to Norlin in a few days, their faces became a little stiff. It was not until she heard that the three of them were going together, would not stay long, and would be back in a few days that the landlady visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, although Lin Qi was inclined to agree to Her Royal Highness's invitation, the specific situation had to wait until the initial results of the plague incident here were determined. Otherwise, if something urgently needed his cooperation, he would go to Norin, which would be really troublesome. Her Royal Highness must have considered this issue, so she set the date to July 20th. By then, the medicine would definitely be out, and any problems would be exposed. He could leave without worry and explore the wider world.

He didn't give Mrs. Maggie a perfunctory answer. At least in the short term, he had no plans to move to the capital.

After all, Natalie and Diana are both going back to the Rhine. Lynch can't leave the two ladies there. He also doesn't want to miss the subsequent excavation of Zulgrasal. Maybe he can get some good results.

Of course the most important point is that he does not intend to be too close to Princess Sofia.

"That princess has feelings for me, I can sense that, but I won't lose my mind over it. I really look forward to further developments between the two sides." Lin Qi laughed self-deprecatingly, "Let's not consider how much of her feelings are genuine and how much are just to win me over. Even if she is genuine, the gap in status is there. There is no need to have those unrealistic dreams. Otherwise, not only will I attract countless enemies, but I will also be known as someone who clings to the princess, which is not worth the loss."

These words stunned Diana and Natalie, especially the Countess, who looked at Lynch in surprise: "Are you really just an ordinary civilian? You actually understand the principles of getting along between nobles so well. I was worried that you were confused by Sophia's attitude, but it turns out that you see it very clearly."

That’s right, it wasn’t in vain that I watched so many palace dramas in my previous life.

Lin Qi scratched his head, his face slightly red, and muttered softly: "Besides, I'm not really a scumbag. It's enough for me to have you accompany me. I don't plan to dream anymore."

Although the voice was low, someone still heard it. Although a certain police officer who did not want to reveal the truth smiled, she still glared at Lynch with sharp eyes: "So, Mr. Leviv, can you tell me what you mean by 'you'?"

……

"I'll go check out first."

Lynch stood up and slipped away, leaving behind only a few muffled laughs.
