"So I only need 1,500 shillings." Lu Li said calmly.
Hades tried his best to sound pitiful and helpless: "You have contacted businessmen and know that the psychic gun sells for 500 shillings. If I refund you 1,500 shillings, I won't make a shilling."
Lu Li was indifferent and explained the real situation: "I don't know about others, but you must have stocked up on the psychic gun during the special sale. You sold me the 350 shilling psychic gun and three bullets for 2,000 shillings.
, and there’s only one bullet.”
Hades rarely showed a trace of embarrassment: "I think the relationship between us is measured by money——"
Lu Li's dark eyes lowered slightly, and there was no emotion in his tone: "If you keep talking, maybe I will remember how many bullets I bought here."
Silver-plated bullets from merchants only cost 20 shillings, and they enjoy discounts on basic equipment.
Hades's expression became embarrassed, and finally turned into a sigh of compromise.
"Okay... Who told me to take a good look at you? Wait here while I go upstairs to get the money." Hades sighed, walked out of the counter, and stepped onto the dusty old stairs with Lu Li's eyes following.
Walking into the darkness on the second floor, the door creaked and closed, but there was no sound again.
Lu Li withdrew his gaze, put his arm on the counter table, and waited for Hades to appear in the quiet tavern hall.
Or it won't show up.
…
Wow——
Wow——
There were sounds of rummaging in a messy room filled with unknown sundries and wooden boxes.
Hades knelt on a treasure chest, dug his head into the treasure chest, and rummaged through it for a while. The noise finally died down, and he was holding a small treasure box that was exactly the same as the treasure chest, but countless times smaller.
Hades put the small treasure chest into his arms, closed the treasure chest, locked 13 locks, and returned to the corridor to close the door.
A wooden sign with the word "utility room" was posted on the door. Hades locked the twenty-three locks on the door one after another, touched the small treasure box in his arms, and returned to the bedroom.
Closing the door quietly, Hades turned around and rushed to the bedside table, opening the cabinet.
A cabinet full of gold bricks appeared before my eyes.
Hades took out a gold brick and threw it on the bed. The one or two pound gold brick got stuck in the quilt. Hades thought about it, then picked it up and put it on the bedside table, placing it at a slight angle so as not to look too big.
Deliberately.
These "gold bricks" were specially made by Hudders. There is a layer of gold paint on the outside, a thin layer of hard mud on the bottom that can leave bite marks, and a filled iron block on the inside. The unit price is 12 shillings.
After buying in bulk, it only costs 9 shillings, which is enough to pass the fake as the real thing.
This thing was used by Hades to guard against thieves and robbers. After they found the gold bricks, they would subconsciously search the cabinet, and then happily take away all they could - the iron blocks.
Those things that are truly valuable are ignored.
However, due to the special status of the exorcist and the good public security of the neighborhood, the fake bait has never been used. This is the first time.
Even so, a trace of physical pain still flashed through the corners of Hades's eyes.
"Forget it, let's just consider these dozens of shillings as compensation for that guy."
Hades muttered, clutching his enlarged chest and moved to the window on the other side of the bed. He opened the window, struggled to move his body that had not been exercised for a long time, stepped out of the window with one leg, and stepped on the tiles of the roof outside.
superior.
"Let's leave here to avoid the limelight for a while. The investigator has to run around all day long. It's impossible for this guy to pay attention to me all the time. I'll come back then..."
"Then where should we hide?" a crisp voice came from next to him.
"That's a good question. I've helped a lot of rich people, including a few down-and-out little nobles. I don't think they would mind if I were a guest -"
The sound stopped suddenly, and Hades slowly looked out the window where the sound came from.
An illusory girl in a white dress floats in the air.
Hades cried with sadness on his face: "Does that guy take you with him wherever he goes..."
"uh-huh."
Anna proudly crossed her arms.
…
Thump thump thump——
The sound of hurried and staggering running came from the stairs. Hades stumbled downstairs, followed by Anna, who had her arms crossed.
Anna raised her chin and looked proud: "As you guessed, this guy is going to run away."
"I just took the money to check the leakage problem in the house. You know, the real rainy season is coming soon."
The rainy season has been here for some time, but it has always been a small one. The real rainy season will bring stormy weather that lasts for several days or even ten days.
Anna looked at her with contempt, disgusted with Hades' lame excuse, "Are you used to checking the roof with a treasure chest?"
Hades suddenly covered his chest and stared at Anna warily.
“When is the real rainy season?”
A figure suddenly came from behind Anna. Anna looked back at those black eyes in disbelief. Lu Li wouldn't really believe Hades' excuse, would he?
A glimmer of opportunity flashed in Hades's eyes, and he quickly said: "I still remember that you are from other places. The rainy season in Allen Peninsula is different from the rainy season you understand. It can last for several days or even ten days.
The super heavy rain, the current gloomy weather and rain are not even desserts before meals, just the cup of coffee you drink in your spare time."
Lu Li didn't know this, and Anna seemed to be the same way. It is foreseeable that if the rainy season officially arrives soon, Lu Li, who has not stocked up enough supplies, will be very distressed.
"We care more about the money than the rainy season." Anna couldn't sit back and watch Lu Li being diverted by this guy and forcefully get back on track: "And you look very rich. If we take away all your money, avoid... we will
There’s a lot of money!”
Temporarily separated from the rainy season issue, Lu Li was thoughtful.
He did need a large amount of money, and luckily, Hades had a large amount of money in front of him.
"How could you do this!?" Hades' eyes widened, his face turned red and he shouted: "This is illegal! I want to call the police!"
"The police shouldn't be able to control the investigators," Lu Li said.
Hades hugged the small treasure box tightly and shouted: "I will kill anyone who covets my money!"
Buzz——
A cold aura suddenly spread out from Anna's body, and a pure black shadow extended from behind, almost staring, exuding an unsettling and terrifying aura.
Anna's tone was cold: "Try whether you are faster or I am faster."
"I'm sorry I was too impulsive. I will give you fifteen hundred shillings now."
Hades trembled under this breath and said decisively, with a hint of horror in his lowered eyes.
Lu Li actually let this ghost's power get close to the resentful spirit... Wasn't he afraid of being killed by her while he was sleeping?
Under the gaze of two eyes, Hades slowly took out the small treasure box like a dying old man eating, opened the lock, and then suddenly accelerated his movements, opened the lid, took out a handful of money, closed the lid in one go, and returned to his slowness in the blink of an eye.
