Lu Li asked after confirming the effect of the deep sea stone.
"Same as normal stone, 10 centimeters can isolate ghosts."
"Where's the resentful spirit?"
"1 meter thick."
This means that if Lu Li wants his refuge to be safe enough, his gap will change from four deep-sea stones to four hundred - the refuge will still only be 10 square meters.
Best Anna's family treasure is precious enough.
The merchant handed Lu Li three more newspapers. The smell of ink on them indicated that they had just been made.
A large stone and three newspapers cost Lu Li a total of 7,290 shillings - the price of the detective agency in Longhouse was only 2,300 shillings.
"Did you just make the newspaper?"
The pads of his fingers rubbed over the words of "Investigator Weekly", and the words printed on the paper blurred.
Maybe only a few hours.
"Yes."
The last time I asked Lu Li, he already knew that the weekly newspaper was produced according to the number of subscriptions, no more, and the expired newspapers requested by Lu Li would be produced separately, but a question also emerged: "Then why is there a price discount?"
“Real-time and revenue.”
"Revenue?"
"The income from the newspaper will be distributed to the exorcists who publish the news. They will not mind the extra income from previous issues of the newspaper."
The speaker has no intention but the listener has the intention. Lu Li is looking for a way to earn a lot of shillings.
If you make a...come up with news that is enough to be published in the newspaper, you may be able to earn hundreds or even thousands of news from it.
Not a lot, but the advantage is that you don’t have to do anything deliberately.
The premise is that Lu Li decides to accept the event.
As for whether Lu Li takes over the event to make money, it depends on the value of Anna's family treasure.
In addition to newspapers and stones, Lu Li also bought a piece of carrion and eyeballs, the former cost 50 shillings and the latter 100 shillings.
Rotten meat is a piece of moldy meat about the size of a fingertip. It has no smell and is packed in a slightly larger wooden box. When you need to use it, take it out of the wooden box for more than a minute, and the nearby black crows will sense it.
The same size and the same wooden box, the eyes of an unknown creature.
Lu Li asked about the price of the flashlight again, and got some good news: you can get one for free before executing the event.
Of course, you can also buy it from merchants, but the price is the same as the psychic gun, 500 shillings, and there is no discount.
After the businessman left, Lu Li asked Anna to test the specific effects of the deep sea stone, such as whether it could travel through and move the deep sea stone without constricting the breath.
Anna still hid part of her power. She suppressed her strength under the wraith, and found that she could only enter 8 to 9 centimeters of the deep sea stone, unable to enter, and she could not move.
As the businessman said, 10 centimeters protect against ghosts and 1 meter protect against evil spirits.
Anna returned to the kitchen and continued cooking, while Lu Li was observing the rough-cut stone.
The color of deep sea stone is similar to obsidian, but not exactly the same. Its black color is not pure black, but mixed with an imperceptible blue color, like the deep sea - perhaps this is the reason why it is named so.
The rough surface is like granite, and if you are close enough, you can smell the subtle smell from the stone, which originates from the deep sea bottom.
It's a good thing, but it's expensive.
After the transaction was over, Lu Li began to prepare for going to Himfast.
Rent a carriage, two days' worth of food and water, a set of clothing, and a map of the Arran Peninsula, both official and internal.
It's just 7 o'clock in the morning. If you leave later, you can reach Himfast in the afternoon.
Lu Li still had 800 shillings left, and there were still 4 days until the next investigator's salary payment.
Half an hour later, a carriage stopped outside the window, blocking more light in the already dark rainy day. Lu Li returned to the dark detective agency, finished his food, took what he needed, and left with Anna.
Like last time, the sculpture is a housekeeper.
Before departure, two letters and newspapers were sent to the detective agency. One had a pungent perfume smell, and the other was sent by Remy and Jimmy.
The love letter was stuffed under the door by Lu Li, and he took the remaining envelopes and newspapers and sat on the carriage. He picked up the reins and drove the carriage, walking on the misty bluestone road with the crisp sound of horse hooves.
A few dozen minutes later, the carriage followed the main road to the highest point of Sogard Hill. Here you can see the bustling buildings of Belfast and the deserted scenery on the back of the mountain, as well as the Agate Lake in the distance and the manors surrounding it.
villa.
The road extends into the mist-like drizzle in the distance, and long convoys of horse-drawn carriages are scattered on this road, making you not alone.
Anna volunteered to get the map of Allen Peninsula and the reins, and hid in the carriage behind the curtain to drive the carriage.
Lu Li leaned against the swaying carriage, lit an oil lamp and placed it next to his legs, and opened the letter that was smelt of perfume in the lit carriage.
【Dear Lu Li】
[This letter is from Isaacs County. We got lost. It’s all because of stupid Jimmy. Because of him, we had to stay as far away from human towns as possible. Although we saw a lot of beautiful scenery on the way, it was really...
inconvenient.】
[But please don’t worry, since you have seen the letter, it means that we have found a human town. We sent this letter from a port town called Innsmouth.]
[Although it is not the original destination, gold and fish are also produced here. My brother and I originally planned to put some gold nuggets from the river in the envelope for you to see, but the locals seem to hate outsiders, so they prohibit it.
We were close to the river, and I felt like they were watching us.]
【I have felt uncomfortable sight more than once.】
[I asked a businessman who often passes through this town. He said that the locals are very repulsive to outsiders and that there may be some kind of cult here. The reason for this is that he has never seen it in this town.
He was an old man, and for several days every month, the place was filled with a strong fishy smell that felt like he was in a school of fish. He said that smelling the smell while riding in the carriage made him want to die.】
[Outsiders are not welcome here. If you want to travel and relax, it is best not to come to Innsmouth. 】
[After sending this letter, we will continue to the east. There is a small town called Shanjiao Town waiting for us. It is very close to the "art city" Himfast. I don't know what Himfast is like.
What? Will it be as prosperous as your city?】
[That’s it. If we find something interesting, we will share it with you in the letter.]
【Your good friends, Remy & Jimmy.】
Still no reply.
An interesting point is that Remy and Jimmy's next stop is less than forty miles away from Himfast, and they seem to want to visit Himfast.
If there is enough coincidence, Lu Li might encounter them in Himfast.
