Chapter 330 Go, Natalie
Dedicate the beauty of the world, and I will give you a miracle in return.
This is the light of miracle, a healing wonder.
Of course, certain diseases can be cured face to face. This is how most people used to use it, including the Milt family who cured rinderpest several times in the past.
But in fact, the ability of this strange object is very powerful, and it can even conceptually cure certain diseases around the world.
As long as the operator can afford the price, the price is to sacrifice the beauty of the world.
Some people believe that most people have good things, and as long as the good things in the sacrifice are enough to pay the price, the effect can be activated. Therefore, for several epochs, many people in power have tried to find this strange object to extend their lifespan. .
Unfortunately, the act of sacrificing itself is not beautiful at all. The ultimate reward of this act is that strange objects get out of control, and the light of miracles turns into the light of disaster, constantly releasing various diseases around the world. and death, resulting in tens of millions of victims.
The effect was too tempting, but the consequences were too terrifying. This strange object was eventually hidden in an unknown place by some thoughtful people during a certain period in the Fifth Age, and was gradually forgotten by the world and disappeared. in the long river of history.
No, it was occasionally used to treat rinderpest.
The cost of treating such low-level creatures is much smaller, and it does not even require too much beauty. Therefore, every time after rinderpest, some strange things always happen in the town, and many couples get married. Broken apart, many families were torn apart, and many long-time friends turned against each other.
That’s all, it doesn’t even cost you your life.
But this time was different. According to Skye, this time from the beginning, they felt a huge pull in the interference of time, which meant that the impact of this incident was great.
It is impossible for a rinderpest to bring such a huge intervention force. The only explanation is that the whole thing has another purpose.
The Milt brothers and sisters then speculated that someone might want to use this to lure the two of them to take out the Miracle Light again and take the opportunity to take it away, eventually creating some irreversible results.
So the Milt brothers and sisters explained to the townspeople that this incident was probably not rinderpest but a man-made disaster. However, the townspeople who were blinded by losing everything did not believe it. They only thought it was an excuse for them not to help, so they hated the family.
A model of friendship and friendship.
If it is as guessed by the brothers and sisters, then they must find out what happened here. Maybe they can take the opportunity to understand the purpose of the Shadow Alliance, or at least get help from the Milt brothers and sisters.
So the two of them hurriedly said goodbye to Ms. Skye and rushed to the center of the town as quickly as possible.
Now that it was safe for the time being, Lynch no longer hid and recounted everything about Howard to Officer Natalie.
The police officer was also surprised when she heard the strange blue smoke, which was the hound in Skye's mouth, but what really chilled her was the all-pervasive means of the League of Shadows behind the scenes. What on earth do these lunatics want to do? Eyeing the light of miracle again?
"Then what are you going to do?" The lady police officer grabbed the ornament on her sword and said awkwardly, "Where are you going to start... Pfft."
Lin Qi also smiled, and the two of them seemed to be at this moment. It's back to the day they just traveled through time. Faced with a clueless situation, the two of them were helpless.
It seems like yesterday again.
At that time, I relied on my brain to dig out clues bit by bit and saved my life. The dangerous situation has been resolved, and there is no reason to be stuck here this time.
"Why are you laughing? Be serious." Some people still have smiles on their lips, but they actually have the nerve to scold others, "I'm asking you a question."
"Get the key point." Lynch obviously He had already made up his mind and said quickly without any pause, "What is the most important issue now?"
"Rinderpest? No, I mean to prevent livestock from continuing to die?"
"Actually, no, rinderpest is not terrible. What really caused the incident just now was the despair in people's hearts."
" I don’t understand, please explain clearly.”
“Rinderpest was not enough for them to risk bullets and attack the Milt family without conscience, but the fear of losing the breeding farm made them lose their future, and they fell into despair before they completely lost their minds. Therefore, the first key issue was land. "Lynch said with certainty, "So what we have to do is to stabilize the land issue first and ease the noose around their necks, so that even if we don't buy the dead cows in the end, they will eventually bear the loss and the breeding farms will still be there. The hope is still there and they won’t go crazy again.”
The police officer looked at Lynch from time to time as she listened, but as she listened, she soon fell into thinking and nodded. : "But how to solve the land problem?"
"I guess someone will jump out soon." Lynch smiled, "The words I just said are actually an irritant to those who make trouble. . It will definitely disrupt his plans, and he will definitely step up his efforts to make trouble as soon as possible. I believe that as long as we return to town, it will not be long before we can make a bet. ”
"Who made a bet with you?" Officer Natalie rolled her eyes at him and suddenly quickened her pace.
When the two appeared in the center of the town, the sun was already setting. It's four o'clock in the afternoon.
The only tavern in the town is an old-fashioned tavern, with a dilapidated bar, twenty or thirty sets of dark wooden tables and chairs, and a dim yellow light from the gas lamp. A group of sturdy men are sitting in the bar, playing cards or chess, drinking heavily. Noisy.
But those were the past. Although the tavern today was crowded, the atmosphere was quite solemn.
As soon as Lynch and the police officer entered the door, they heard a harsh sound.
"Absolutely impossible. A contract is a contract, and the agreed contract is the ironclad rule. You cannot change a single letter. If you are discerning, take a look at your own copy. It is clearly written on the contract. If something happens that will affect my recovery of the principal, In the event of an accident, I have the right to withdraw the loan or collateral in advance. I didn’t force you to sign the contract. You have to borrow the money yourself.” A man with a moustache and small, round eyes stood in the middle of the tavern, confronting the leading farmers. The man with the mustache was not tall, but his voice was quite loud. He waved a stack of cardboard in his hand menacingly.
"Master, Master Trevor, please." The peasant woman who just held the body and cried bitterly had red eyes and bowed repeatedly in front of her mustache. "Mike just died. If you take away the family's breeding stock immediately, My children and I can’t survive. Please, take pity on us, mother and son, and give us a few more days.”
"Then if I can't recover the cost, who will pity me? What happened if I just died? Is it a violation of the contract just to die? Not to mention just one Mike died, even if ten Mikes died in a row, even if your whole family jumped down neatly , you have to pay me back."
"Sir, Mr. Trevor." The farmer who had been slapped by Lynch just now showed no signs of attacking Milt's mansion. He hunched his neck and rubbed his hands, with a flattering smile on his swollen face, "I, it's not that we won't pay back the money, we will be able to raise the money soon, you give us a few more days, we promise, it only takes a few days , I will return the money to you as soon as I raise it.”
“Fart.” Mustache’s eyes rolled around, looking a little guilty, “I don’t believe this is possible. What fool would buy such a thing? Don’t even think about it. Lie to me. And I don’t care how you raise the money. I will inform you now that if you don’t pay back the money by tomorrow at the latest, I won’t give you the land for another day.”
"It jumped out faster than expected, and that contract is really disgusting." Lynch stood at the door and listened for a few words, then whispered to Officer Natalie.
The police officer leaned into Lynch's ear: "The contract has many loopholes, so it's just a matter of cheating these country people."
"Huh? Do you understand?"
Lynch was stunned and looked at Officer Natalie in surprise. When did this girl stop using her sword and use her brain?
"Oh, have you forgotten whose soul-shifter I am?" Officer Natalie smiled lightly and said leisurely, "Rules and contracts, these are the domain of the Lord of Order, Order If the master's soul-shifter doesn't understand this, he's too incompetent. Then, Mr. Lynch Levy, let me go, how mature do you want him to be?"
Tsk, this girl? So domineering.
Lynch was speechless and said softly: "Be anxious, go ahead, Natalie."
"Negotiate a contract? Okay." The tall police officer walked into the pub with long legs, and she was still there. Without getting closer, the momentum already forced Mustache to take two steps back, "Your name."
"Wei, Will Trevor. You, who are you?"
"Then, Mr. Trevor, I regret to inform you that there is a problem with your contract." Officer Natalie said calmly with a sneer, "You said, 'Once an accident occurs that will affect your recovery of principal,' You have the right to withdraw the loan in advance. How long does it take to advance? One minute is considered to be in advance. If you advance to tomorrow, is there any contractual basis? "
"This..."< br>
“There is another question.” The middle-aged version of Lynch also walked out with a smile and stood side by side with the police officer. “The so-called accident that could affect your recovery of principal did not happen.”
< br>
"Why not?" Mustache immediately became anxious, waving the contract and said, "So many cows have died, and it seems that they will continue to die, why..."
"You indicate this on the contract Is this the case?" Lynch asked, in this era, business development is not sound enough, and there are many loopholes that can be exploited to cheat the contract. "If not, why do you think this is not in compliance with the terms of the contract? It fits.”
“You...”
"Of course you can insist on your appeal. This constitutes a dispute. It can only be reported to the Justice Hall and decided by the Justice Tribunal." It was the police officer who spoke again. She said with a cold expression, "No. If there is an accident, it will take about fifteen days from acceptance to trial. After all, the fair court is very busy and getting busier."
"How about you report it to the city now?" It was Lin Qi again, who smiled reservedly and said, "After fifteen days, maybe you will be qualified to ask them to pay back the money immediately."
"I, you, you, what are you doing?" Who is it?”
"It's the fool you just mentioned who would do such a thing, from the city hall."
"What about her?"
"Her? I am... my bodyguard. "Lin Qi waved his hand like a fly, "Okay, it's none of your business now, step aside, you guys, take me to your breeding farm, I want to see the goods first."
