Chapter 104 The Last Chance (Updates Are Still Divided Into Morning and Afternoon These Days, It Seems that the Follow-Up Reading Rate Is Higher)

Seeing Miss Valente's soothing expression and a little smile in her eyes, Lynch knew that he had made the right bet.

This was a trust test in itself, and Lynch passed it with flying colors.

The key is that Lynch can't refuse to take this test, and he has no right to complain, because he asked for it.

No matter how they deal with the mountain people in the future, the attitude of the Valente family is very important. Unless they are desperate to fight such a behemoth, maintaining the relationship between the two parties will be harmless. Now that he had initially established a good impression with half-truths and lies, Lynch certainly hoped to further consolidate the relationship, but he ignored that he was facing the eldest daughter of a thousand-year-old family.

This kind of identity, vigilance against malice and understanding of people's hearts have long been engraved in the bone marrow. No matter how gentle and kind the character appears, he will never be a fool. Even if he was blinded due to information asymmetry, he could not let Lynch manipulate him. With a simple act of kindness, he threw the problem to Lynch.

If Lynch doesn't dare to drink, Miss Valente probably won't take any action, but today's efforts will definitely be in vain. From now on, she will be an ordinary partner who keeps a distance at most. Only drinking it in person means that Lynch is willing to take the lead in trusting him, and his attitude will definitely be different in the future.

I had to solve the problem I asked for myself even though I shed tears, so I gritted my teeth and drank the potion cleanly.

It's not a reckless gamble. Lynch has carefully analyzed it, and the possibility of it being poison is very small.

There is a high probability that the two of them met by chance. Since he is not sure that he will meet him, then this person is not mentally ill and cannot always carry a bottle of poison with him. Therefore, this bottle of medicine has no effect at best, and it is not really possible to use it. Send him away.

And on the other hand, she often comes into contact with ghouls, so it makes sense to have a bottle of medicine on her body to eliminate the smell of ghouls, so this bottle of medicine is probably real.

And the most important point is that if there is a fatal threat, Ms. Luna will at least give a warning, so since the neighbor did not stop him, Lynch drank it all with confidence.

It tastes really bad, sour and bitter, and I don’t feel hot all over my body after drinking it.

"The two people I'm waiting for are Grant and Hoffman." Miss Valente smiled and took back the medicine bottle and put it away. Seeing that Lynch was a little confused, she patiently explained, "Howard Hoffman, the mayor of Rhine City. "

Lynch remembered the gentle man sitting on the other side of Duke Wayne.

"Nicoletto asked me to help with this matter. There are many things that he can't say directly, otherwise I will also be targeted mysteriously," Miss Valente explained while looking in the direction of the city hall, "I have investigated. The Best Mountain Tunnel project was mainly promoted by Grant's forces, but the entire Nolin-Rhine Railway project was mostly managed by Hoffman, so both of these people may control the selection of the Best Mountain Tunnel. site."

"Maya said that there was collusion between Grant and the sewer ghouls. I don't quite understand, what is the relationship between the sewer ghouls and the Nikolai patriarch?"

"They are from different tribes and have very bad relations. Just treat them as two groups."

"Are they also interested in Zul-Hala-Thal?"

The second time he mentioned this weird name, Lin Qi still felt a little strange. He understood that this meant that just the pronunciation of the name contained a strong mystery. If he was still an ordinary person, I am afraid that this name would make him I was terrified.

"Oh, it seems that this is the first time you have come across this name. Zul Harasar was born in the Third Age and is the birthplace of their race. Although the city was swallowed up by the earth due to changes in the earth later, the city is still important to them. It is still of great significance, not to mention that it is said that Mordiggian still has a ray of will sleeping deep in Zul'Harasar, which is tantamount to a holy place for their family. "

"Hey, what's going on?" Lynch was startled, "Didn't it say that the evil gods are sleeping in the dreamland? Why did this Mordiggian change places?"

"Its main body must still be hidden deep in the dreamland. The present world cannot bear the meaning of their existence. Once they enter the present world, it will be a devastating disaster. Usually this situation means that it has a fragment of will left in the present world. The fragment does not Exceeding the current limit will not cause a large-scale disaster.”

"Then what if this ghost city is dug out?" Lynch already realized the seriousness of the problem and asked with twitching corners of his mouth, "Will this fragment of consciousness wake up? What will happen after waking up? ?”

"I also want to know the answer." Miss Valente sighed and said faintly, "Maybe you can enjoy the sacrifice once and then go to sleep, maybe you can directly return to the dreamland body and never come back, but you can also pull the dreamland body away. To the present world. There are too few samples and there is no final conclusion in mystical science as to what will happen.”

"Well, the consequences of these situations are all serious?"

"Well, the lightest one has to sacrifice thousands of souls to it to appease it and continue to sleep. Otherwise, when it returns to the dreamland, the entire world will be disturbed. There will be constant disasters on Mount Carlos, and maybe half of the world will be disturbed. The Kingdom of Rand will be affected all year round. As for the third possibility, the arrival of the old ruler's true form will inevitably cause a devastating disaster. , it is a lucky result that half of the people in Rand Kingdom survive.”

"Will no one care about such serious consequences? What about those strong people?"

"Zul'Halasar sleeping under the Best Mountain is just a folk legend among ethnic minorities. There is no actual basis, and even fewer people know about it. And even if people know about it, it is useless. It will only be known by those fanatical archaeologists and naturalists, because the fact that the fragments of the Old Ones are sleeping is a legend among legends. If you are not familiar with the mountain people, it is almost unreliable."

"But such a dangerous thing, it doesn't matter if the superiors don't know, but if they know, they should at least investigate it..."

Lin Qi suddenly couldn't ask any more questions. He realized that those superiors were not numbly refusing to investigate, so he had his own commission.

"Huh, I understand. So Patriarch Nikolai and his people don't want the holy land to be disturbed, and the sewer ghouls and Grant are colluding to dig out Zulhalasar? But why do they do this?"

"Don't delve into the reasons, Mr. Leviv, this is a taboo in mysticism, because the minds of mysterious aliens are more difficult to guess than cultists." Miss Valente shook her head gently and said calmly, "They must have a purpose, but this purpose may not be understood by normal humans like us. Any attempt to understand will make our thinking more confused and our wills closer to them. Including Mr. Nikolai, it must have a purpose that we cannot understand. Before finding out everything, it is difficult to say what to do is more in line with human meaning, but at least now it seems that helping Mr. Nikolai investigate the incident is the least bad result, so I choose to help him. What about you, Mr. Leviv, you drank my potion, I will give you one last chance to choose."

'Neighbor, neighbor, is she telling the truth? '

[Uncertain. ]

'You can't be sure? Isn't it said that the gods are omniscient? '

[But I'm dead. ]

‘That makes sense, and I can’t refute it at all. ’

[If it’s true, you’ll be in danger, but not hopeless. ]

‘And it’s profitable? ’

[Yes. ]

“Maya is my client, Miss Valente, and I’m also a human being.” Lynch immediately showed a righteous expression and said firmly, “For the benefit of mankind, of course I must stand firmly with you.”

“Oh, thank you very much, Mr. Leviv.” Miss Valente’s eyes flickered, and she nodded with a smile, put away her things and stood up, “Then I’ll go back and organize the information, and visit in two days. Today’s task of stalking is left to you. Once you see Grant or Hoffman, follow them.”

With that, without waiting for Lynch to refuse, she turned around and hurried away with the novel in her arms.

Why did she run away?

Lynch was a little puzzled, until he turned his head and saw the waiter standing by and staring at him with a smile.

“Well? Didn’t she pay the bill?”

The waiter nodded deeply.

"Even her cup is not finished?"

Continue to nod deeply.

So, these nobles are simply the most vicious creatures in the world, no doubt about it!
