Chapter 313 The main dish is coming
“To sum up, the situation regarding the Nolin-Rhine Railway incident is now clear.”
“In terms of various agencies related to Land River shipping, the terminal Workers' related organizations, led by the National Railway Transport Agency, are opposed to railway construction due to serious damage to future interests. ”
"The railway transport agencies are special. They are divided into two attitudes. The local railway transport agencies in the Rhine tend to support railway construction because they can obtain more benefits through the straight-line transportation from the Rhine to Noland. For this reason, they throw out The Rheinland Railway Workers' Union cooperated with Grant to create the Square Incident. On the contrary, the national railway transportation organization actually shortened the transportation distance of national railways and had an impact on national railway transportation. , Therefore, they are opposed, but these opposing departments have not yet made substantive measures.”
“Supporters are also affected by industries such as metallurgy, coal, combustion, industry, and commerce. Driven by interests. For the sake of interests, their behavior was relatively extreme. In addition to teaming up with Grant to create the Massacre in the Square and the special incident of Howard, they also attacked the passive opposition camp many times, especially the dock, which suffered a great deal. Pressure. "
"In addition to the above forces, the Valente family and the minority mountain people they represent, who originally opposed the railway project, have changed their camps and are willing to use their family territory to cooperate with the railway construction. The specific content will be determined by Family representatives held detailed discussions with the Duke’s Palace.”
"The above is the entanglement between various forces surrounding the Nolin-Rhine Railway Project. After solving the hidden danger of the evil gods in the ancient city ruins and eliminating the advent-level strange object crisis created by the League of Shadows through Mayor Howard and Ranger Walker, the railway project No high-risk mysterious-related threats have been discovered for Rand. As for the entanglements of interests on the mortal level, this project will take at least twenty years to show results, allowing enough time to coordinate the interests of all parties and minimize the adverse effects. , This is one of the reasons why the opposition has not acted excessively.”
“Based on the information at this stage, the railway project plan is highly feasible and can be continued.”
“Private Detective Lin. Chi Leviv.”
"June 25, 1399."
It's finally over.
Lin Qi closed the report on his desk, took a deep breath from his pipe, raised his head and blew out a column of smoke, feeling relaxed.
Although he still couldn't let go of the letter from the League of Shadows, at least a heavy burden had been lifted.
In those days when I just traveled through time, I was under the threat of death every moment. Apart from the Watchers, the Church of the Night and the Duke's Palace were the first to lend a helping hand, at least to let Lynch found the direction to live and saw the hope of living.
If this debt of gratitude was not repaid as soon as possible, Lynch would not be able to sleep well, so until the last payment was made, he finally felt like he had truly integrated into the world.
It seems that this risk was not in vain.
In fact, since the tragic death of Mr. Crean and the almost impact on Officer Natalie, Lynch has been on full alert. He will not take any related incident lightly, and he will risk everything. No regard for one's own safety.
The efforts finally paid off. The railway incident was completely resolved, but it was a pity that the gold and silver treasures in that tomb were lost.
The earthquake was unexpected, but it was reasonable. The passage was built deep in the tomb. Ms. Luna used Lynch's body to blow up the mirror with one look. It was indeed quite domineering, but at the same time, it also detonated the invisible passage, directly in the concept. Destroyed the tomb and caused an earthquake.
Fortunately, Lynch relied on the inspired divine power to hold Judy and forcibly resist the force of nature, and was eventually buried on the surface. Otherwise, he would have been buried deep underground as the two ladies feared, just like The same as those buried with people.
Yes, the funerary objects have been buried under tens of thousands of tons of earth and rock following the earthquake. In fact, it is not impossible to dig them out. People from the Archaeological Association, with the support of the Duke's Palace, have already started to rescue them. They should be able to rescue some eventually. But once the official forces get involved, it will be far away from what can finally fall into Lynch's hands. Not as good as before.
I'm so stupid, really. I should have expected that the ancient tomb might collapse at any time, but I didn't know that it wouldn't matter if my name wasn't Laura or my surname wasn't Drake. Next time, I would definitely pack the funerary objects and prepare them to be taken away. No, still There won’t be a next time.
Lynch sighed and mourned for the twelve workers and five companions who died inside and outside the ancient tomb for a few seconds, and then picked up the small pocket on the desk.
There are three items hidden inside, which are placed in front of the throne in the main tomb. If nothing else, these are the most important burial objects in this tomb of the Yark Dynasty. At least you will not lose money if you take them.
A thick classic, a few pages sandwiched in the classic, and a small golden hourglass.
The pages of the book contain text that Lynch cannot understand. It should be some kind of unknown mysterious document. Lynch plans to go to the Knowledge Library in the next few days. The group of profiteers will not deceive them. Let them Go kill yourself with this document.
As for the other books and hourglass, Lynch even breathed a lot faster looking at them.
Both items are disaster-level rare items, which are dangerous level three items.
In Rand's underground market, fear-level rare items are relatively cheap, generally ranging from a dozen to dozens of pounds, while destructive-level items are slightly more expensive, not much more, that is, one more Just zero.
Sales are not allowed when reaching the disaster level. After all, although the controlled disaster level has little impact on civilians, it is still very dangerous once it gets out of control. Thousands of people will be affected, so in theory Says buying and selling is prohibited. But sometimes some unscrupulous red-haired profiteers can still get some less dangerous disaster-level rare items to sell secretly. As for the price, they only need to add a zero.
Yes, several thousand pounds, a lifetime salary for a middle-class Rand man. So in this mysterious world, no amount of money is enough to spend.
Poverty is like the wind, it always accompanies me.
Sighing, Lynch picked up the hourglass.
[The secret hidden outside time, the little prop used by Ms. Diana to hide and seek, will not be discovered by anyone until she will never be discovered by anyone again. 】A very strange strange object. According to Lynch's understanding, it can hide the target outside of time and make the target never exist, thus hiding the target. Much like the Knight of the Church of Night, Rick, who hid the ship, Lynch estimated that if his understanding of hidden divine power was high enough, he might be able to understand some new abilities from it.
Although I can’t understand anything now, this thing is quite practical, and the out-of-control condition is a bit troublesome. If you hide the same target continuously for more than an hour, you will lose control. After losing control, you will continue to swallow the surrounding people. People and artifacts have never existed in other people's cognition. Unless suppressed in time, these devoured characters will be lost outside of time forever. The problem is that it can even hide itself, and it is very troublesome to suppress it, so it is not an exaggeration to have a disaster level danger level.
But it's still very useful. It's a kind of absolute defense. Now I don't have to occupy Miss Valente's necklace all the time. Look, I'm not a freeloader. I'm just borrowing it.
Lin Qi pinched his chin and praised himself for a moment, then put down the hourglass and picked up the thick book.
[The Book of Purification, a secret treasure used by Dulin Mystic to purify mysterious filth, which made his mysophobia even more serious. 】
It is also a defensive rare item. Lynch feels that if it is sold, it can even fetch sky-high prices.
As long as you put it on the bookshelf, it can dispel the mysterious filth contaminated by the entire building, so that the people in the building will not be affected by the presence of filth. It is estimated that the former Yark royal family relied on this kind of rare objects to be able to collect so many dangerous rare objects without being corroded by filth and dying of illness within a few days.
Although it cannot counteract the effect of the strange object itself, it can offset the damage of filth. For collectors, this thing is simply a life-saving artifact.
However, Lynch had no intention of selling it. He put the Book of Purification directly into the bookcase without even thinking about it.
As I get more and more involved in the mysterious world and collect more and more strange objects, I may not care about it, but Mrs. Maggie’s little Martha can’t stand it. Now that I have this thing, I can collect rare items at home without restraint. Thinking about it...well, it seems to be a bit dangerous, so I'd better be careful.
The two strange objects are not bad, and this adventure is worth it. And although those treasures were a bit of a pity, Lynch knew that the real reward had not yet been received.
He has solved a big problem by himself. With the size of the Duke's Palace and the royal family, there is no way that he will suffer a loss. All he has to do is wait patiently and there is no need to feel any pity.
Besides, just giving the evil god who was having fun a hard slap on the face was already a good deal. Lynch was extremely happy now, and had the urge to activate the Swollen Girl's contact technique and squirt. .
Forget it, I still don’t want to die. I am a kind and gentle time traveler, and I will not do such stupid things to make enemies.
[Well, the Twinkle One, the Web Weaver, the Gloomy King of Cold Bones, the Swollen Daughter...]
'Okay, okay, okay, I know how kind I am, you don't need to say anything. ’
This neighbor just tells the truth.
Just as he was muttering, his head suddenly felt hot, Lynch rolled his eyes, and when he turned around, he saw little Martha carrying a tray of hot tea, quietly approaching him, and pressing the tray on top of his head.
"Hey, Uncle Lynch is giggling again."
Just saying hello, the little thing quickly moved the tray away, revealing that doll-like smiling face.
Ever since the little bastard took a spontaneous risk to help Lynch, the previous grudge had long since dissipated, but forgiveness was forgiveness, and the lesson still had to be learned.
"Put the plate down first. I have something to tell you."
"I'm not stupid. As soon as I put it down, you grabbed me and beat me. You were already there. Stretch your wrists.”
Hey, that's why I hate naughty kids.
Lin Qi’s murmur was interrupted by a chuckle, and Mrs. Maggie’s blond smiling face appeared at the door of the living room on the second floor.
The beautiful and gentle wife was wearing a long home dress. She looked at the quarrel between her daughter and Lynch with soft eyes and covered her mouth with a smile.
You don't care about this little devil of yours.
It must be because the blond hair of the mother and daughter was so dazzling. Lin Qi suddenly felt that he was in a much better mood. He decided to temporarily let go of little Martha who needed to be beaten. He took her tray and put it down. He skillfully took the envelope from Mrs. Maggie.
Letter from the Duke's Palace.
Lynch smiled, it seemed that the main course was coming.
