Red Moon Returns

Since the Five Ages, civilization originated in the ancient continent, flourished in the Middle-earth continent, and was developed in the Newland continent. Except for the Lost Land that is frozen all year round, the three continents have left traces of civilization.

Five kingdoms, seventy-four countries, distributed in the areas where civilization has already controlled, jointly built this world full of weirdness and mystery.

The ancient continent in the east of the planet is unanimously recognized by the academic community as the origin of the Five Ages civilization in this world, but it is the more vast Middle-earth continent that carries civilization to glory. Four of the five kingdoms are located here, and the Kingdom of Land is one of them.

As an ancient country inherited from the Fourth Age, the Kingdom of Land controls the peninsula in the northwest of Middle-earth, and faces the enemy Friedman Kingdom across the sea across the Frost Bay. Since the Fifth Age, the two sides have been fighting for thousands of years. In the past 100 years, under the mediation of the Rose Family, it is in a rare truce period, but there are still undercurrents.

The Kingdom of Rand is located on the peninsula. It controls 870,000 square kilometers of land and has a population of more than 80 million. It is one of the world's most powerful countries. The capital Norin is located in the northwest of the peninsula, and Rhine is located in the southeast of the peninsula. The two major cities are separated by the Carlos Mountains that run from east to west.

The Rand River, one of the three most important waterways in the Kingdom of Rand, runs from west to east, across the Carlos Mountains, from Norin to Rhine, and after running through Rhine City, it flows into the Windy Bay from the estuary of the Twin Towers District.

The Twin Towers District is famous for its two giant lighthouses. It is the intersection of inland shipping and ocean shipping in Rhine City. The Cross District even built a short-distance railway directly here to make trade more convenient.

Therefore, water transportation on the Rand River has become one of the important ways of inland transportation in the Kingdom of Rand. Even the emergence of a national railway network is not as exaggerated as the Rand River.

Just after nine o'clock in the morning, a convoy drove out of the Dark Night Cathedral in Crown Square.

The fleet of four carriages is made of light and strong black steel wood. This wood is moisture-proof and insect-proof, and has its own breathable function. It is the best raw material for making carriages. Unfortunately, it is expensive and scarce. Even if you have money, you can't buy it. Only nobles with deep foundations are qualified to use it.

The Lord God Church is of course qualified, and can take out four carriages at a time. It's not just four, but only four.

The carriage is also full of the characteristics of the dark night, with a black background and a golden star, hanging the holy emblem of the night scepter, and even the coachman is wearing a black priest robe, and his identity can be identified at a glance.

Lin Qi sat in the second carriage, and his mood was quite good at this time.

It was not because of the magnificent scenery of the Land River rushing into the sea, nor because the surroundings were gradually filled with the unique bustle and prosperity of the port area, but because Archbishop Trinles personally invited him to participate in today's event, and he could finally see the memories of the red moon that he had been thinking about.

Today, Lynch got up early, ate a hot breakfast reluctantly under the warm nagging, and then went out in a formal suit.

As planned, he hurried to the Hall of Order and practiced half a box of bullets.

The bad news is that only one shot hit the target today, but the good news is that today's coach still did not get hit and finished the training alive, which is really gratifying.

So Lynch left the training ground with regret and went directly to the Dark Night Cathedral.

There are already many believers who come to pray and listen to the sermon. The donation box at the entrance is half full. This is not a matter of just stuffing a few copper pennies. Lynch saw with his own eyes that at least one-third of them are stuffed with silver shillings or even Rand pound banknotes.

Is the church so profitable? Neighbor, how about I open a church in your name before I finish my immortal journey?

[Haha. ]

Damn it, neighbor, the man just stuffed a five-pound note, my neighbor, I think I saw it wrong, or I will sacrifice myself and help them open the donation box to check it.

Fortunately, two one-star priests wearing the holy robes of the night had returned and stopped Lynch's shameful plot in time. They took him to the reception room to meet Archbishop Trinlais. Before they had time to talk in detail, Trinlais pulled him onto the church's carriage.

Lynch then realized that it was not convenient to say in the letter yesterday that the Red Moon Memories were actually transported by special escorts along with other important materials on the supply ship of the Church of the Night. Now they have entered the Rhine River section and are adjusting the speed to sail downstream to queue up for port entry.

In order to ensure the safety of important goods, the main hall of the Church of the Night deliberately replaced the three-star priest who was normally responsible for escorting with a six-star priest.

Below the Pope, the highest-ranking cardinals are qualified to wear the holy robes with nine gold stars. Regional archbishops like Trinlais only have eight stars on their holy robes. In addition to the bishops with real power, the only ones who can wear the six-star holy robes are those who have rich practical experience and have reached the middle level of strength. Sending such a strong man just to escort a sacred memory is enough to show the importance the church attaches to this transaction.

At the same time, the church also made a request, hoping that Lynch could follow the truck collection team and complete the handover directly on the spot, so Lynch was hurriedly invited to come, and Trinless personally accompanied him.

"Wait, you mean it's not you who hand over to the headquarters, but I will do the handover directly?" The carriage has stopped at the dock, but the two have not gotten off yet. Lynch frowned and asked with a puzzled look, "After the handover, the things belong to me?"

"Yes, it's not waiting for you to complete the commission before paying the reward, but directly prepaying."

"Why?"

Of course it was a good thing for Lynch, but it made him alert. A giant like the Lord's Church should not be so low-profile. It was not only against the rules, but also a loss of status.

The archbishop smiled and shook his head, silently raised his finger and pointed upward.

"Above? Your Pope's order? That shouldn't be right, no, do you mean..."

Lynch swallowed his saliva and pointed upward with a weird look. Trinlais nodded in confirmation with the same weird expression.

It turned out to be the oracle of the goddess of night, so what is there to be in accordance with the rules? The gods speak the rules, the question is, why did she do it?

Trinlais explained seriously: "The Soul-Diverter of the Scarlet Moon has appeared. The followers of the night should abide by the agreement of the mythological era and provide the followers of the Red Moon with the best of their ability. The sacred memories belong to the Scarlet Lady and should be returned as soon as possible."

'Hiss? So it's your fault. ’

Lin Qi had never felt anything before, but now he finally realized that his neighbor seemed to have a very important status.

[Hmm.]

‘What is the promise of the mythical era, why should she help you? ’

Silently, without saying a word.

‘Forget it, the reason doesn’t matter, but at least let me know, should I accept it? ’

[Help is acceptable, but...] Ms. Luna was silent for a moment, [Don’t trust them completely.]

‘Him, them? ’

[Hmm, them.]

This answer doesn’t feel good.

However, Lin Qi still took a deep breath and smiled: “The followers of the Crimson Moon thank you for the gift from the night.”

With the same complex and strange smile, the two got off the carriage. On the water in the distance, a two-masted sailboat was slowly approaching the dock.
