Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 248

After    the black crow messenger flew away, the merchant came to visit.

  This kind of compact arrangement is exactly what Lu Li, who lacks time, desperately needs.

   This businessman is still not one of the two businessmen Lu Li has ever met, and his worn scarf is a tawny striped style.

   Of course, it is also possible that the merchant has always been the same, just wearing a different color scarf each time.

   Before throwing out the shopping list, Lu Li first asked the merchant for information on the stone that could shield the soul.

   "He is a first-generation exorcist with a long name. This kind of stone was used in the construction of ghost prisons." Lu Li added information about the stone.

  The merchant said the name of this stone: deep sea stone.

   Because it was discovered from the deep sea.

   "Can you talk about it in detail?" Lu Li wanted to know more information and analyze whether the deep-sea stone was suitable for building a refuge.

"if you need."

The name of the first exorcist who discovered the deep sea stone was: Pablo Diego Jose Santiago Francisco de Paula Juan Nipomocheno Crespinia No de Rose Remedios Ciporiano de la Sandisima Trinidad Maria Patricio Crito Rez Bra Scoo Picasso.

   As Tesla said, the first-generation exorcist's name was long enough to fit on one line. And the inaccurate part about the exorcist is that his name cannot be written on one line.

   Throwing aside the 'I struggled to write my name in school' joke, people usually call him Pablo or Picasso.

   When he was on a long voyage, he found a strange reef only a dozen meters above the sea, which was very unusual. They were in the deep sea, and the nearest land to the sailboat was nearly a thousand nautical miles. Even if the specific depth of the sea water here cannot be measured, it can be estimated that it is more than three kilometers deep.

   It is very unreasonable to have a reef in such a location.

   As an exorcist, Pablo sees a problem here. Maybe it wasn't a reef but something weird. But he was just an ordinary passenger on this transcontinental sailing ship and had no right to command the sailing ship. Pablo wrote down the coordinates here, contacted the Exorcist Association after approaching the land, sailed again on a sailboat, and returned to the coordinates.

  The environment at that time was not as bad as it is now, such as sunlight. With good visibility, there are thick and dark shadows under the entire water, as if some kind of behemoth is dormant on the bottom of the sea.

  Pablo thinks that the underwater thing is not a living thing, otherwise it should have left this water area early in the past few days. So Pablo put on his equipment, jumped into the sea, and sank underwater to observe closely.

   Pablo, who observed closely, confirmed that it was some kind of underwater reef. He cut off a small part and returned to the sea for analysis.

   In his research, Pablo discovered the special power of this stone - a ghost that can penetrate any substance cannot penetrate this stone.

   Even more advanced spirits cannot penetrate deep sea stones.

   Through further tests, Pablo confirmed that as long as the thickness of the deep-sea stone reaches 10 cm, it will have the effect of blocking the ghost, and although the thickening will also enhance the effect, the effect is weak. A 1-meter-thick deep-sea stone is only 0.5 times more effective than a 10-centimeter-thick deep-sea stone, and a 10-meter-thick is only 0.2 times more effective than a 1-meter-thick.

   The thicker the deep sea stone, the more subtle the effect.

The    deep sea stone apparently had a certain value, and then the Exorcist Society began to mine and measure it. The reef was bigger than they expected, and it was more accurate to call it a mountain than a reef.

  The height of this deep-sea stone mountain standing in the deep sea is limited due to the limited industrial level. The last measurement was 23 years ago. The original measurement depth was changed from 1328 meters to 1822 meters.

   This data is not the height of the deep-sea rocky mountain, but the iron chain used for measurement is only so long.

   In addition to the construction of several ghost prisons, deep sea stones are often used by exorcists to preserve important items. Not all exorcists' views are positive, though.

Some exorcists think that the deep-sea rocky mountains are some kind of seal, suppressing some terrifying and terrifying existences. This kind of remark is unpopular, because even today, hundreds of years later, the overall thickness of the deep-sea rocky mountains that have been mined by people is only tens of meters. , or the "top of the mountain" with the fewest parts of the mountain.

  These hundreds of tons or thousands of tons are insignificant to the whole stone mountain.

   "So 10 cm thickness is the most cost-effective, and 1 meter thickness is next?" Lu Li asked.

   After being confirmed by the businessman, Lu Li continued to ask, "How many shillings does one cubic meter of deep sea rock cost."

   "One cubic meter?"

   Maybe he couldn't understand the meaning of one cubic meter, maybe he was waiting for some kind of communication, and the merchant paused slightly after asking.

   "Deep-sea stone one meter long, one meter wide and one meter wide."

   Lu Li reminded.

  10cm thickness is the minimum standard for Lu Li. If he has enough money, he will consider 1m thickness. Although space arrangement is a problem, safety is the main concern.

   "8800 shillings." The merchant replied.

   Anna, who was eavesdropping on the side, cooperated and expressed surprise and surprise.

   "I remember it was not expensive." Lu Li frowned. Ken is so extravagant that he uses deep-sea stones to build ghost prisons or buildings, and the price of deep-sea stones should not be so high.

   "That was the previous price."

   "Because of what?" Lu Li pondered, is there anyone who thinks the same as him?

   "Deep-sea stones are becoming difficult to mine day by day, and the three major organizations are also acquiring deep-sea stones."

  The eavesdropping Anna revealed that, after all, the deep sea has become very dangerous now, and the stone material of the deep sea rock mountain near the water surface has been mined, and the rest are the parts below tens of meters that are difficult to mine, so expensive is inevitable.

  The three major organizations are also acquiring deep sea stones...

  Lu Li's black eyes narrowed slightly, thinking of a deeper possibility, and at the same time asked: "Is it possible that its price will come down."

   "It's only going to get more expensive."

  Deep-sea rocks with a thickness of 1 meter were completely excluded by Lu Li, and even so, deep-sea rocks with a thickness of 10 cm were not something that Lu Li could afford.

  If Lu Li wanted to build a refuge point with a length and width of ten meters and a height of five meters, four cubic meters of deep-sea rocks were needed.

   The cost of the stone alone would cost Luli 35,000 shillings.

   1 meter thick deep-sea stone should add a zero after this number.

   Luli's current assets, including the credit limit of 100 survey points, can barely buy one cubic meter of deep-sea stone.

   "Apart from the deep sea stone, are there other objects that have similar effects?"

   "Yes, but it will be more expensive."

  Lu Li gave up the idea of ​​looking for a substitute, and instead asked, "Can I use my 10% discount."

   "Yes, 880 shillings will be deducted from the price of one cubic meter of deep sea stone."

   "One cubic meter first."
