"Oh, don't be so cold. Listen, I have a big deal that will definitely interest you!"
To a certain extent, Marcus is very professional. He usually uses the word "entrustment" to describe it. This time he said big deal, indicating that this time it is likely to be a really big deal.
Lu Li said nothing, waiting for him to continue.
Marcus on the other side waited for more than ten seconds and couldn't help but ask: "Hi? Are you still there?"
"exist."
"Uh... If you're not curious about what it is, let me tell you directly. Do you know Baron Joseph, who has become famous in the Allen Peninsula recently? She is recruiting exorcists! You may not know how rich this beautiful baron is.
Let me tell you this, her assets can buy more than a dozen streets in Belfast!"
"And Baron Joseph has always been generous with his money. I can already predict how much generous rewards we will get when we successfully complete the commission! Man, we are going to make a fortune!"
"What is the content of the commission?"
"I don't know yet. It may be long-term protection or solving troubles for her, whichever is great... This news has spread in the eastern part of Allen Peninsula, and many exorcists are rushing to Agate Lake."
"Are there many people?"
"Of course, this is an open recruitment, and Joseph will select the candidate she thinks is suitable. It may be one person, or there may be several, but we will have many competitors. We have to break through the encirclement and stand out in order to get that high sum of money.
How about the commission fee? Are you excited by what I said!"
Of course it's impossible to change his mood, but Lu Li is indeed interested, and he really needs money now.
"When?" Lu Li asked.
"One day later, there will be a dance at the Baron Manor tomorrow night, and all the exorcists who are interested in the commission will appear there!"
Marcus paused: "Wait, I remember you and Baron Joseph seem to..."
Marcus does know a lot.
"No."
"I haven't said anything yet...Okay, pretend I didn't say anything. Then...don't forget to rush over in the afternoon and have my commission! I will call you earlier the day after tomorrow, although it is unlikely that you will forget
But... hehehe, you know, just in case. If we get this commission, we won’t need it for a long time-"
The sound stopped suddenly and Lu Li hung up the phone.
"Um?"
Anna pops up in the kitchen.
"fine."
"oh."
Anna's head retracted behind the door frame.
The time has not yet reached six o'clock, and the sky is still slightly bright, because there is no rain, and the sky is brighter than the previous few days. However, when the rainy season comes, the storm will come, and eight o'clock in the morning will be as dark as the evening, making it impossible to see anything.
The sound of boiling water just came from the kitchen. While the food was not ready, Lu Li called someone.
After a delayed transfer, Qiaoqiao's voice came from the other end of the microphone.
"There is something you need to investigate."
Lu Li told Qiao Qiao about Baron Joseph's commission, and asked her to investigate the specific content of the commission, and offered her a reward that was 1.5 times higher than the market price.
Qiao Qiao happily accepted it and told Lu Li that he would tell him the situation before night, whether it was found out or not.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Li tore out another neat page from the half-torn notebook and wrote the contents on it.
【I am Lu Li, I have received your reply.】
[Thank you for the method you provided. I will follow the content when needed. 】
[Do you know about the incident at Zernst Port? If you know the details and can tell me, I would be very grateful.]
[I have established a shelter in the elm forest outside Belfast. Let me know when you will set out. I will tell you the location.]
After writing the content and confirming that there was no missing information, Lu Li dried the ink on the paper, folded it and put it in a brand new envelope, and wrote the recipients Remy & Jimmy on the envelope.
Lu Li's initial attitude towards Remy and Jimmy was not to resist or contact them. They represented variables, and variables were often linked to trouble.
But now, the collapse of the world is a foregone conclusion, and when the end is approaching, contact with them may not be a bad thing.
After all, they have been showing kindness to Lu Li, and Lu Li has also helped them a lot——
They are friends.
If Remy and Jimmy had no ill intentions and officially came to the real world, Lu Li would have two more weird companions.
As for why Lu Li revealed information about the refuge point to them... Theoretically, the more weird things there are on the cliff, the safer it will be.
Half an hour later, Anna put the pot on the dining table. Lu Li took off his coat, went to the kitchen to wash his hands, then sat at the dining table to eat, and then left the detective agency with Anna.
Rented a carriage and picked up the four Jones brothers to head to the cliff again.
This time there was no annoying chisling sound. The four Jones brothers observed for a while, and then followed Lu Li's request to first erect a deep-sea stone wall outside the excavated space and crush the remaining waste materials after cutting.
Pour water and use it as filler to build into the gaps between the stones.
Since there was no more noise, Lu Li stayed in the cave, watching them busy with mud and building walls, and occasionally helping them fill the barrels with seawater.
The four Jones brothers were very fast. An hour later, a dark wall like a watershed appeared deep in the cave, with 10 cubic centimeters of stones neatly stacked, and a door reserved in the middle.
Lu Li didn't have a suitable idea on how to make the door, so he might want to ask the old craftsman.
After the walls were stacked, the four Jones brothers began to lay the ground, this time more quickly, but what ended them was not the completion of the laying, but the exhaustion of the deep sea stone.
Only seven-tenths of the ground is paved.
"How much is left?" Lu Li asked.
The boss thought for a while and gave Lu Li a relatively accurate figure: "At least four boxes of these stones are needed."
"Then let's do this first."
Later, maybe Lu Li, the Deep Sea Stone Queen, could lay it by himself. He watched it for a long time and basically learned how to build walls. It wasn't complicated, and ordinary people could do it, but it would be slow due to unfamiliarity.
There was nothing to do at the evacuation point, but it was still very early, not yet ten o'clock in the morning. The four Jones brothers had already received Lu Li's payment in advance. They felt a little uncomfortable and offered to help Lu Li expand the cellar.
It happened that they brought tools such as pickaxes.
Lu Li did not refuse and returned to the carriage to wait.
The four Jones brothers excavated until one o'clock in the afternoon. They expanded the one-meter-deep cellar in the cave to nearly nine square meters in size, which is completely sufficient for use.
Without rushing to move the things in the cave into the refuge, Lu Li drove the four Jones brothers down the mountain.
There are four deep-sea stone gaps. According to the current increase, Lu Li needs to earn 50,000 shillings to complete the basic defense construction of the refuge point.
It seemed that Baron Joseph's invitation to participate was inevitable.
