The grateful Adangfuya took her pen and notes and floated to the cabin.
Lu Li also had something to write. He opened his notebook and left traces on the blank paper with his pen tip: "What happened in Belfast last night? There must be consequences."
"1000 investigation points." The merchant quoted the price, and then tacitly acknowledged that he would accept the deal before Lu Li could answer: "The evil god who was about to wake up was attacked by a strange attack. His origin was eaten away, and most of the believers died. The burst of power polluted the oak tree.
forest."
Lu Li noticed the word "most": "Not all believers die, it is possible that they can be resurrected by believers?"
"Maybe, maybe not." Because the answer was ambiguous, the merchant did not ask Lu Li to pay the fee.
"Be more specific." Lu Li wrote without raising his head.
"It's trivially possible, but there's no doubt that it's impossible." The businessman replied in a difficult sentence.
This means that the possibility of surviving believers resurrecting the evil god is extremely slim.
"Will it affect Belfast?" Anna asked.
"1500 investigation points." The businessman looked at Lu Li and received Lu Li's reply: "The investigation points are hers too."
"Yes. The ownerless power will continue to stay in that land until it slowly dissipates. Those who step in will be assimilated by the power and transformed into the form of a servant of the evil god."
"What if you just stare?"
"300 investigation points. It will only be attracted and will not pollute the sanity and soul."
"Will the beings who enter the vortex believe in Him because of assimilation?" Lu Li asked.
"meeting."
"So if there are too many beings entering that vortex and many are transformed into servants, the evil god may be resurrected?"
The businessman paused for several seconds this time, and then quoted an expensive price: "100,000 survey points."
If the possibility of inflation is not taken into account, the answer to Lu Li's question is obviously valuable information.
"Can."
"Faith cannot resurrect dead gods, and what believers resurrect is not the former gods."
Still speechless and sounding contradictory, Lu Li had to ask: "Do you mean that the dead god is dead, and even if he is resurrected, he is just a new god that is the same as him?"
"yes."
"Will you inherit the memory?"
"Won't."
It seems that there is no need to worry about the resurrection of this evil god in his lifetime. The clues can be traced to the top of the cliff.
The paused pen tip stroked the paper again: "Where are the ghosts captured by its believers?"
"300 investigation points. Most died, a few escaped."
"Where's the rope of trance?"
"300 investigation points. Disappeared, but not dead yet."
The merchant has moved the ghost prison, and it is unlikely that old Miklos will go there.
Maybe it's back to its hometown.
"I once heard that the ghost prison is guarded by an evil spirit called the Bite of Evil Thoughts."
"300 investigation points. Deputy Warden, the believers killed it when they invaded the prison."
"Is its body also there?"
"50 investigation points." Because it was already dead, the merchant's offer was so low that it could be ignored: "The object attached to the Bite of Evil Thoughts will become its true body. It is attached to the inner wall of the prison, and it will be its turn after the outer layer of deep sea stone is destroyed.
The wall is broken and it dies."
Evil spirits have always been like this. Under horrific rituals, they have fragile bodies that can even be killed by children. So they usually hide their bodies in a place that is safe enough not to be discovered by any being.
The ghost prison and its derivative events ended here. Lu Li asked something else: "Why are deep sea stones so expensive?"
"Its sealing effect is strengthening. It can no longer be collected."
The Deep Sea Stone Mountain was an isolated island far away from the land - before people discovered it. As it was discovered and mined, the island turned into a reef, then a reef, and then it was difficult to find from the sea.
"I heard that they were used to seal a certain existence." Lu Li recalled the story Tesla told.
"yes."
"What was sealed?"
"500 investigation points. The ancient god whose name cannot be called or whose shape cannot be imagined."
This gave rise to a new question for Lu Li: "Some people say that the ancient gods are close to humans and kind."
"Most of them are not kind, they just won't hurt you for no reason." The merchant did not mention the price prefix, this one is free.
Or to use a more malicious word: ignore.
But compared to the weirdness of looking for humans and killing humans, it can be praised as a god-this is how the church appeared.
"What is the minority?" Lu Li also noticed the word "majority".
"500 investigation points. Those who change their stance because of your beliefs."
It seems that the church is not useless, at least the world is.
"Why are they sleeping?"
"10 billion survey points." The businessman replied, and the high price made his words a little cold.
No one can have so many investigation points, not even Lu Li. Maybe this is because the businessman didn't intend to tell Lu Li behind the scenes.
"Can I use the deep sea stone as collateral?" That was obviously an important secret, and Lu Li was not going to give it up.
"cannot."
"Why are the beings sleeping under the deep sea stone?" Lu Li changed the question.
"1000 investigation points. By the enemy."
"Which enemies?"
"5000 investigation points. The former ruler of this world, and the existence above the stars."
"Why didn't they kill Him instead of sealing Him with the deep sea stone."
"He will not die."
No one will die.
Even the world will wither and destroy, let alone the ancient gods born in this land.
Lu Li stopped the pen in his hand and looked at the businessman: "Who is he?"
"10 billion survey points."
It sounds like the value is equal to the previous "10 billion", but it is actually more than that: because even if Lu Li saves up to 10 billion one day, the quotation will be updated to 20 billion, or the 100 billion that made Lu Li give up exploring.
This does not seem to comply with the rules of fair exchange among merchants, but what Lu Li asked is obviously the merchant's exclusive information - only they know it, or a few qualified people.
Lu Li is not among them.
Finally, Lu Li purchased ten stone badges.
Stone badges, merchants call them so. But they are more like stone flakes that have been ground into a round shape and have no time to carve patterns.
Watering it and then crushing it will call the merchant, which saves one step compared to calling the crow and then calling the merchant.
Adangfuya walked into the cave and handed over the letter to Tesla, which she had revised several times, and the letter written by Lu Li to the businessman.
"Does it fit into half a page?" Lu Li asked.
"Yes" the businessman replied.
Lu Li looked at Adang Fuya and answered her expectation for the letter: "If nothing else happens, Tesla will be able to see your letter tomorrow."
Adangfuya was full of gratitude, but the businessman always said in a low and emotionless voice: "Are there any other deals?"
"Take me to see those deep-sea rocks." Lu Li said.
100 cubic meters of deep sea stones were placed on the downhill slope leading to the top of the cliff. They were polished into almost perfect cubes, but were not cut into 1 cubic centimeter sizes.
The businessman said it would take some time and would be done by tomorrow afternoon.
Lu Li thought about it and told the merchant not to cut the deep sea stone, but also to remember to refund the cutting fee.
