The red moon returns

Chapter 500 Lynch's Plan

Lynch actually gave in-depth thought to taking out the miracle light and weighed the pros and cons repeatedly.

There are indeed benefits to doing this. If you encounter a necessary situation, you can access it at any time without worrying about wasting time. Moreover, you will feel at ease when the thing is in your hands, without having to worry about any future troubles.

The disadvantages of the problem are also obvious. It was originally stored in the Silver Gate and no one could take it away. It was the safest place. After taking it out, it was convenient for me to use it, but it was also convenient for the Shadow Alliance.

With two second-level and one third-level warriors, why would he want to protect the Shadow Alliance from its covetousness? Just relying on his passion? I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to protect it for even a day.

It's not "Young Jump".

But after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to get the miracle light.

As long as we can prevent the Shadow Alliance from robbing for a period of time, or prevent them from being able to snatch the items even if they want to, we can just hold on until the plague event is over.

The three of them really can't do it, but there are people who can do it.

It's good to lean on a big tree for shade, to take advantage of the tiger's power and be an accomplice to the tiger, to kill someone with someone else's knife and put the blame on others... In short, just ask some capable people to take care of it for you and let the Shadow Alliance suffer.

Lynch was looking forward to lying on the beach and speaking those words to the faces of those people in the Shadow Alliance with great emotion.

Therefore, Ms. Natalie and Ms. Diana were responsible for dealing with those professors, while Lynch took the chairman to find a secret room.

"I need your help, Mr. Chairman." He pushed the medicine box in front of the other party and briefly introduced the properties of the strange object: "Miracle Light, an advent-level strange object..."

The chairman listened carefully until Lin Qi finished speaking. He stroked the box and pondered for a while before opening the lid. While inspecting it, he said, "I've heard of it. It's a very old and rare item, one of the dangerous items whose whereabouts are unknown. You want to bring it into the city? It's too dangerous."

"With this kind of effect, where can it be placed without being dangerous?"

The chairman sighed and said, "That's right. Unless it's a professional storage facility, it's dangerous to keep an Advent-level artifact anywhere. Do you want me to help you bring the item into Rhine City?"

"Not really. That kind of thing can be done with hands, right? The main thing is that someone wants to take this thing. They have already tried once and left five lives. I am sure they will continue to do it, so I need you to help me protect it until this matter is resolved?"

"this matter?"

"It's the plague created by the Shadow Alliance. This is my trump card. You know how treacherous the Shadow Alliance is. They will definitely continue to look for opportunities."

The chairman twisted his beard and frowned, saying, "I dare not help you with this."

"Huh? The Shadow Alliance is so scary?"

The chairman glared at him and said unhappily, "I have lived for eighty-five years. Do you think such childish rhetoric is useful?"

"Just give it a try, just in case it works." Lin Qi laughed dryly with a wandering look, "Are you worried about anything?"

"Theoretically, I should help, and I am willing to help." The old man sighed, "But the Shadow Alliance is too mysterious. Who knows who is one of them. Anyway, I can't guarantee that there are no one of them in the association. If something goes wrong with such an important thing in the hands of the association, the reputation of the association will be ruined. If I am left alone to protect it day and night, I don't have the time and energy to do it day and night. If something goes wrong due to lack of energy, I will be the sinner of the whole world."

In fact, this is also Lynch’s most headache-inducing problem, because the Shadow Alliance’s spies may be lurking in every corner, and there is no credible organization in the entire Rhine.

The major churches cannot be trusted. There is an unknown god behind the Shadow Alliance. Any of the twelve churches could be involved, and they might end up falling into the trap.

Official forces cannot be trusted. The top leaders of official institutions always care about interests instead of morality. Because of the conflicts of interest, their positions can jump back and forth repeatedly. They may suddenly turn 180 degrees at any time. The grassroots cannot avoid infiltration, and the specific executors may be the enemy's nails.

Secret societies are equally untrustworthy. Although their backgrounds are relatively simple and they do not have so many conflicts of interest, their structures are loose, everyone has their own ideas, and they are more easily infiltrated. It is very likely that the situation in which all the members of Riverside Manor were moles will occur again. It is better to work alone than to ask them for help.

Lin Qi chose the old chairman of the Archaeological Association for help after repeated consideration and careful selection. On the one hand, although he had been taken advantage of by the old man once, he had a good impression of the chairman. On the other hand, the old man was the strongest fighter in the local area. Having him on the same side could avoid a lot of trouble. Since he had to take a risk and bet on the strongest person, he might as well bet on him.

Of course, the most important thing is that Lynch feels he is relatively trustworthy. In public, he is in the right position. In private, he has the deepest connection with the Archaeological Association and has the greatest interests involved. Moreover, they have a cooperative project, so it is unlikely that he would betray himself at this time.

But Lynch didn't dare to completely trust him, and he was indeed lacking in energy, so Lynch made a plan from the beginning.

If we drag another unlucky guy into the water, the three parties can work together to complement each other and also restrain each other, which should greatly improve safety.

As for the candidate for the unlucky guy, of course he had to be the most trustworthy. The first person Lynch thought of was the Church of Suffering.

It is true that there is a god behind the Shadow Alliance, but the Church of Suffering is the key point in this plague campaign against the Shadow Alliance. The foundation of the campaign is that there is no problem with Fiona, the Lord of Suffering, and her believers, otherwise the campaign itself is a joke.

Therefore, Lynch was willing to believe these true saints, and that place was considered Diana's mother's home, so it was more credible. There might be a few spies from the Shadow Alliance among them, but the number would not be enough to cause a big wave, so he just had to be careful.

But the biggest problem of the Church of Suffering is its strength. In Rand's second largest city, the entire church does not even have a high-level person in charge, and the strongest is a level six mid-level person. Once the Shadow Alliance launches a surprise attack at all costs like it did on Milt's family, the Church of Suffering may not be able to stop it. Even if it can barely stop it, there will probably be heavy casualties.

Thinking of the women who cried until they collapsed and wished they could die because they could not save the seriously injured patients, Lynch immediately gave up the idea. Maybe for various reasons, many people are dissatisfied with the Virgin Mary, but Lynch does not think so, especially after reading the memories of the light of miracles, he feels that these women who are willing to die to save patients are more noble than most people in this world.

Lynch couldn't do it, so he was willing to give them the greatest respect and involve them as cannon fodder. It was hard to say whether God would punish him or not. Lynch estimated that he would beat himself up if he woke up in the middle of the night.

Suffering teaches people to give up.

This made him turn his evil eyes toward his mother's family.

Night Church.

Literally, this is Hongyue's mother's home.

In the past few months, Lynch has learned through various channels that the Silver Girl and the Scarlet Lady are both daughters of the Goddess of Night, and it is said that they had a very close relationship in the mythological era.

Although there is no blood relationship between gods, only genealogical kinship, they themselves are non-material existences. For them, genealogical kinship is far more important than blood relationship. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, there is always moonlight shining under the dark night, and there is always a place for silver and scarlet in the sanctuary of the night. Archbishop Trinlais was obviously partial to him after knowing that he would become the Soul Forsaken of the Red Moon, and this is also the reason.

Moreover, the strength of the Dark Night Church is sufficient. They have a seventh-level priest and several sixth-level knights hidden in their church. With the bonus of the sanctuary, it will be difficult for the Shadow Alliance to gain any benefits even if they invite a ninth-level strongman.

His neighbor had warned him not to trust the goddess of night too much. The old lady definitely had no ill will towards the neighbor, but that was not necessarily true for him, Lin Qi. The reason was not stated, but Lin Qi had a vague guess. Combined with the doubts mentioned by Chairman Ole, he felt that his guess was correct.

Therefore, Lynch has been delaying his visit to the old aunt, and has tried his best to avoid being deeply tied to the Church of Night. However, the possibility that the Goddess of Night is the deity behind the Shadow Alliance is very low, and it should be no problem to drag the old aunt's people into the trap this time.

In this way, with the Church of Darkness as the main body and Chairman Ole providing personal assistance in the name of the association, safety should be guaranteed.

Moreover, this strange object originated from the Church of Suffering, and was later studied by Ms. Nightingale and others. The four parties worked together to nip the Shadow Alliance's conspiracy in the bud.

"The Church of Evernight, it would be no problem if they join as well. I can help with that, but... are you sure they will do you a favor? You probably haven't discussed this with them yet."

"They will definitely help." Lin Qi smiled, revealing his two big teeth. "Of course they would be worried if it was just me, but this time we have the strongest chairman of Rhine, Ole, in charge. All they have to do is provide assistance. How can they refuse such a good thing?"

"…Why does this behavior seem so familiar to me? How many people have you tricked using this method?"

"Ha, ha, ha, that's just your illusion. I respect Archbishop Trinless very much. How could I possibly do anything to harm him? I'm doing this for their sake. Not only will he not mind, he'll even say thank you to me."
