Chapter 256 I asked her to drive
In the early morning of June 13, 1399, Lynch finished the dinner prepared by Miss Valente.
In fact, it is not rich, just a few pieces of fried golden bacon, two tender and soft sunny-side-up eggs, a few slices of vegetables, a few pieces of bread, that's all.
The taste was ordinary, nothing amazing, but for some reason, Lin Qi felt that he could not forget this taste. Especially under the dim gas light, the two of them sat side by side, enjoying their late dinner silently. Lynch believed that this picture would be firmly entrenched in a corner of his heart for a long, long time to come.
I just don’t know why, but on the way back to the guest room, I always felt that countless cold and cruel eyes were staring at me from the darkness behind me, as if I was living in a haunted house.
Forget it, it’s too scary, just don’t do anything and just go back to your room and sleep.
Unfortunately, it must have been because he had smoked too much soothing herbal medicine that Lynch couldn't sleep at all. Finally, he simply got up and read the ancient sheepskin book Black Fan Goddess several times. According to Ms. Luna, this will help you receive the death information contained in it and deepen your understanding of the power of death.
At dawn the next day, Lynch took someone else’s carriage and left the home. When he was leaving, the old housekeeper and the male and female servants lined up in two rows to see each other off. It looked quite grand. But looking at each of them with fierce looks on their faces, as if they were going to beat you to death again, Lin Qi had every reason to suspect that the sneaky eating behavior last night had been discovered.
Hmm... It's stealing food in a literal sense. In addition, the reason for the haunted house has been found.
After leaving Valente's house, we first took a detour to Earl Lorende's mansion not far away, where we had a secret chat with Princess Chloe for a while, and then stopped by Bessie's prop shop in the Crown District.
Being busy until almost noon, Lin Qi returned to his apartment exhausted both physically and mentally.
I didn’t go home for two nights, and what I saw as soon as I walked in was Mrs. Maggie’s surprised smile.
Since Mr. Louis, the butler, had previously asked the housekeeper to personally deliver the letter and greet Mrs. Maggie, the beautiful landlady was not too worried. She only thoughtfully helped Lynch put away his coat and hat, and happily made tea for him.
Looking at the small living room and bedroom, Lin Qi actually felt a sense of intimacy that he had not seen for a long time. Every move in the mansion where he lived in the past two days had been attended to, but now when he returned to his simple and small apartment, Lin Qi felt Qi felt extremely relaxed.
Especially when you take a hot bath, put on pajamas and slippers, sit on a familiar fabric sofa, put your feet up on the coffee table to stretch your body, what is that feeling of comfort that comes from the bottom of your heart? No mansion can compare to it, especially taking a few sips of the black tea brewed by Mrs. Maggie herself. Soon, the fatigue accumulated in the past few days came back.
Quite exhausted indeed.
For three days, I first battled wits with Princess Chloe and Count Lorende, then tracked and killed Alice and the others in the sunken ship, then went deep into the enemy's lair to deceive the gems back, and finally Then he ran to the evil god's territory and fought head-on with the Swollen Daughter.
I didn’t feel it when it happened, but after everything was over and I returned to my familiar nest, a feeling of physical and mental exhaustion immediately spread throughout my body.
Fortunately, his work was not in vain. The Black Fan Goddess he brought back not only gave him more than four death-related abilities, meeting the requirements for promotion to the next level, but also made him understand death more thoroughly, especially in the wilderness. When he first saw the corpses scattered all over the mountains and plains, he felt closer to death than ever before. Lynch even felt that if he was allowed to witness it a few more times, he might be able to understand one or two abilities under the power of death.
It seems that we have to start preparing for the next promotion. Let’s first see when Countess Hathaway can send over her neighbor’s memories, and then see which evil god will have bad luck.
But the most important thing is the ability to veto death, which makes Lynch feel like he is in a dream. This thing is more useful than the ability to destroy the cauldron in a certain game. It takes effect automatically, which is equivalent to giving yourself countless extra lives out of thin air. Coupled with the double improvement of death coil on melee and long-range combat, it can be said that my combat effectiveness has made a leap. Finally, I have He looks like a powerful second-level soul-shifter.
Next time I'll try my hand at Prince William and the Rangers, and that mysterious enemy who dared to burn down my house.
Huh? Is there something wrong? Forget it, just pretend it's all right.
However, the only thing that made Lynch feel dissatisfied was that he actually understood a secret method, the first secret method he mastered.
Hmm...Swollen Daughter's Contact Technique.
It can be used anytime and anywhere. Its only function is to allow you to communicate directly with the swollen daughter.
When Lin Qi realized the sequelae of reading, he had already understood it and could not forget it. Lin Qi was so angry that he was beating his head and cursing.
But now that the matter has come to this, he can only accept his fate. At worst, he can just not use it in the future. Even if I am attracted to mystery, it is impossible to force me to use this thing.
【Hehe. 】
Okay, okay, I know you are peeping.
Using his last will to stay awake, Lynch retracted the dangerous items into the safe, then threw himself into the bedroom and fell asleep with a smile.
I was sleeping so deeply that I didn’t even know Mrs. Maggie came in secretly and took away her shirt and pants to clean.
When I woke up again, it was still bright, but it was already the morning of the 14th.
The familiar noise of Charles Square made Lynch curl up his lips and stretch. Lynch finally recovered from his fatigue.
Actually, if he hadn't had a date with someone today, Lin Qi would have wanted to sleep another day. After all, life without having to get up early to go to work and go to school is so monotonous.
I really envy those social animals who have reason to get up early. I am so envious that I can’t close my mouth from ear to ear.
Wear clothes that have been tumble-dried and ironed, and bring all your gear, especially that little cloth bag. Opening it, a red light immediately illuminated Lynch's face.
Flaming red lips, the real thing.
This thing needs to be put away, we will still be counting on it later.
Lin Qi smiled strangely, tied the bag again, hid the gem close to his body, then picked up his cane and walked down the stairs.
"Wow, Uncle Lynch, long time no see. I haven't seen you since your leg healed. You don't even play with me anymore." Little Martha hadn't gone to school yet, and when she saw Lynch's eyes It all lit up, and he happily rushed over and hung it on Lin Qi's leg, "When will it break again? I still want to paint, oops."
If you are really good at talking, I would like to give you two slaps.
The little bastard got two slaps as he wished, and he immediately took Lynch's hand and sat at the dining table with satisfaction. This little thing was getting more and more clingy. However, I asked someone in Charles Square a few days ago that the group of 'kids from the King's District' have indeed restrained themselves a lot and rarely commit crimes now, which surprised everyone.
“This is for you.” Lynch took out two one-pound notes, thought for a moment, and changed them into four ten-shilling coins. “You still remember my black uniform, right? Ranger Uniform ”
"Yes."
"Ask your people to keep an eye on several nearby blocks in the past few days. If you find someone with that kind of clothes peeking around, notify me as soon as possible."
"Okay." The little guy put the money into his pocket and stared at Lin Qi with his blue eyes, "Is it dangerous?"
"Not for you, but you are proud of being beaten." Lynch stood up and took the breakfast and coffee brought by Mrs. Maggie. He took a big bite and felt quite fulfilled. "Is there any news these days? From your sister Maya I heard it from over there.”
“No, it’s normal.”
Little Martha’s answer made Lynch a little disappointed. It seemed that the Rangers didn’t know how to appease him. The Deep Diver Pirate Davis did not reveal their collusion with each other. It's a pity, I still want to see them dog bite dog. Just as I was feeling regretful, I heard Martha continue:
"Even if a princess is having a cocktail party, it will be published in the newspaper today. These rich people are so disgusting. They just have cocktail parties when they have nothing to do. I don't know what they are doing by having so many cocktail parties. It's disgusting."< br>
"I know, it was held just to invite me to the party."
"Hahahaha, Uncle Lynch, you are too brave to say that the princess invites you to the reception, hahaha, the governor also invites you I’m participating.”
Bang bang bang.
The cheerful laughter was still echoing in the restaurant, and a knock suddenly sounded from the door.
The little guy ran to open the door, leaving only Lynch and Mrs. Maggie facing each other in the restaurant.
"Don't be angry with her. She didn't mean to laugh at you. She also knows that you are really good to her and are teasing her and joking with you."
Looking at the blond landlord The wife spoke softly with a soft smile, and Lin Qi felt warm in his heart. He smiled and said: "Don't worry, I don't hate children who know their mistakes and can correct them. This little thing is slowly learning to be sensible now."
< br>"Yes." Mrs. Maggie wiped her eyes and nodded vigorously, "I really want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I really can't imagine what will happen in the future. I will ask you again in the future..."
"Huh?"
Before Mrs. Maggie finished speaking, Martha's surprised voice came from the door. When she turned around, she saw the little thing coming back holding an envelope with a dull look on his face.
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Maggie came forward worriedly, looked around repeatedly, and then felt relieved after confirming that her daughter was fine.
"The invitation letter... is from Uncle Lynch." Little Martha looked at Lynch's expression as if she had met the goddess of the night she believed in. "The princess invites you to attend the reception on the evening of the 17th. The butler of the Earl's Palace personally sent it. "
"Throw it on the porch for me, I know this, no need to read it," Lynch said casually, "I will go out later, so I won't put it upstairs. It's not a big deal anyway. Important things."
"Oh..." The little guy glanced at Lynch, carefully placed the invitation letter on the shoe cabinet, and suddenly stuck out his tongue at Lynch angrily, and then clicked it. He ran back to Lin Qi, shook his arms and asked, "Uncle Lin Qi, why did the princess invite you, and even held this cocktail party just to invite you."
"I asked her to drive it. She asked me to find something. I found it for her, so I used this reception to hand it to her in a high-profile way."
"Then you said you were going out in a while, and you also wanted to meet me Her? "
"That's not the case. It's enough to meet at the cocktail party. There is no need to meet in advance." Lynch had already finished his breakfast and stood up to pat the little thing on the head. "I still remember that I often met him a few days ago. The old woman who came to treat me, Mrs. Nightingale.”
"Yeah."
"I'm going to find her, and it's time to repay the debt of gratitude I owe her."
