Chapter 186 Friendship
The greatest private detective in the Rand Kingdom, the user of No. 221 Vera Street, the defender of the Rhine order, the guardian of the Rand Pound, Mr. Lynch Leviev, has just been killed An old woman hijacked.
I only had time to go back to the room and say hello before I was caught and put into the carriage.
It was a very simple carriage that looked no different from the taxis that could be seen everywhere. However, only after being caught inside did you realize that there was something unique inside.
The closed carriage exudes the natural fragrance of roses, the air is fresh and moist, and does not make people feel stuffy at all. The floor is covered with a thick cashmere carpet, which makes you feel like you are in the clouds when you step on it. The seats are all Soft sofa, open the small table drawer in front of you, there are fresh dried fruits and warm black tea inside.
The person sitting next to him was no longer the old woman who was giggling at him, but a young lady who was giggling at him.
Miss Valente.
The young aristocratic lady is wearing a green lady's dress, a feather hat is playfully tilted on her head, a folding fan blocks her red lips, only a pair of big brown eyes are exposed, and there is a smile in her eyes. He blinked and stared at Lynch. It's a pity that there is still no color on his face, and light makeup cannot hide the paleness on his face, but he is in good spirits, and even his voice is breathy.
"Mr. Lynch, long time no see." Her big eyes turned into crescents and her straight nose was wrinkled. The aristocratic lady's voice was unprecedentedly relaxed and she said softly, "Being able to see that you are well is my biggest gain today."
Looking at this delicate face and breathing in the faint fragrance coming from his body, Lynch opened his mouth, wanting to say something to celebrate Miss Valente's recovery, but found that his mind was so dull that he couldn't even think of a word to suit the occasion. When I came out, I could only scratch my head and giggle. After holding it in for a long time, I finally said: "Me too."
"Huh?"
"Forget it, it's nothing, I'm just a fool. Just being stupid.”
It's really strange, why did my IQ suddenly return to zero? Or do I never have that thing? And it’s not like I’ve never seen patients recover. I’ve just recovered myself, so why do I suddenly feel so excited and even my chest feels sore.
Lin Qi couldn't understand such a profound question, and he didn't bother to think about it. He followed his instinctive guidance and said sincerely: "I'm very happy to see you wake up, but can you Stop shaking that fan, I'm a little scared."
? ? ?
The eyes that were full of smiles just now suddenly became sharp. The beautiful aristocratic lady lowered her head slightly, squinting at Lynch from the folding fan, like a puffy little quail, her wrists moved as if It felt like the folding fan was about to hit me in a moment.
"Wait, let me think about it again, there must be other topics."
Lin Qi broke out in a cold sweat, damn, how can I talk to a young girl? Waiting online, urgent .
"Pfft, your words are still so irritating." The angry Quail returned to his smile. Miss Valente hid behind the folding fan and made a face, and then said seriously, "Listen, Lynch Levy Sir, I will only say the following words once."
"Huh?"
"Your efforts have unlocked the shackles that the Valente family has put on themselves for thousands of years, and brought Valente to justice. The Valente family is liberated from responsibilities. The Valente family doesn’t like to say thank you to others. We only like to express it with practical actions. So from now on, you will be the family’s forever friend. As long as the Valente family still exists, the family’s The door will always be open to you, and this will always be your second home.”
Hiss, the resounding promise moved Lynch a little. He was silent for a moment, but shook his head and said: "Can you represent the Valente family? There is no need to make such a commitment for the entire family."
"I can't. The only person who can represent the family is Earl Valente, who is now my father. But based on my understanding of the family, they will not object to my promise, so it is not difficult. Moreover, I really cannot represent The entire Valente family, but at least I can represent myself."
Miss Valente said calmly, pressed her chest and said with a smile:
"I say this on behalf of Diana de Valente. You generously extended a helping hand to a desperate lady, regardless of the cost, without asking for anything in return, and even harmed your own body. So, please show the same. Be generous and accept her offer of friendship forever.”
What else can be said at this time? Lynch sighed softly, consciously took the hand extended by Miss Valente, leaned over and kissed the back of the hand gently,
"Fight for you, my lady."
"Pfft, you can't say this. Are you not conferring a family knight now? Or do you want to become a knight of the Valente family? Otherwise, you should say 'my honor'."
"But I don't know. It's not an honor. "It really ruined the atmosphere, and who knows the tricks of you nobles? I didn't see such details when watching the show. Lin Qi rolled his eyes, but suddenly his heart moved, "The family knights should be paid, right? How much is it?” “No, there is a monthly fee of ten pounds.”
"Huh? It's true or false."
"Of course it's false, otherwise?"
Miss Valente gritted her teeth and waved her small fan, as if she was imagining some violent act. Lin Qi couldn't help but shudder, and quickly drew her attention away: "Well, now that you have woken up, what are your plans next? Are you going back to the capital?"
"Impossible. Although the main purpose is to offer sacrifices, he was nominally appointed by the church to station in the Rhine. He will at least continue to work for the church for a while. This is also a tacit understanding between the nobles and the church. Why, you ask these , Do you have any plans?”
“Elder Nickle probably hasn’t gone back into the cave yet.”
“Be careful, the elder will come and beat you if he finds out.” Yingying shook her head, "He hasn't yet, he has to wait and see for a while."
"After the hidden danger of Mordiggian is completely resolved, what arrangements does the Valente family have for the mountain people?"
"It mainly depends on their wishes and the progress of the tunnel. If the tunnel plan If they don't implement it, they will return to their previous lives and help the family develop the mine. If the tunnel construction begins, the family will pay a sum of money to move them to other places."
"Then I have a plan... ..." Lynch licked his lips and made a gesture of counting money, "How about we discuss with Elder Nikolai and package and sell the development rights of Zul'Grassar?"
"Huh?"
"I know the Valente family is rich, but no one would mind having too much money, right? The mountain residents' relocation expenses, new home construction expenses, homeland loss expenses, spiritual compensation expenses, etc. At least let the buyer pay for it. There are also excavation fees, cooperation fees, and road navigation fees. After a rough calculation, why don't the buyer pay a few thousand pounds? Don't let them think it's too expensive. If they think it's too expensive, just increase it by a thousand pounds. One thousand.”
“Is this okay?” Miss Valente was stunned.
"Of course." Lin Qi curled his lips. Old-fashioned outsiders, you have never heard of demolition compensation and nail households, right?
“You should discuss this matter with Elder Nickle, and the Valente family can help.” Miss Valente said with a dry smile, “I will take you to see him tomorrow night.”< br>
“Not tomorrow, there is an invitation to a cocktail party tomorrow.”
Lin Qi suddenly realized that the person in front of him was a great aristocrat, and his status was no lower than that of the princess. He immediately recounted the whole incident to Miss Valente. Unexpectedly, as she listened, the aristocratic lady's eyes almost glowed. of light.
What a shame, I forgot that this girl is a fan of detective novels.
“This is interesting. I’ll go with you tomorrow.”
"Invitation, invitation, please give it to me alone."
"Oh, there are three representatives of the Earl of Rand family in Rhine City. No matter what kind of princess she is, I dare not leave out any one of them in the event. "You will be the butt of jokes for decades to come." Miss Valente said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Come on, come home with me. I'll have someone dig through the trash can and pick up the invitation letter." ”
Lin Qi’s expression was subtle, telling himself that he just needed to smile at this time.
