Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 1185 One hundred and twenty-three. Meishan Town

  《The exorcist who left the plant habitat is heading to Coal Mountain Town》

  The tree people escorted the landing to the nearest town of gods with old sewers.

  The newspaper published this morning by the Local People's Business Daily once again exposed Lu Li's itinerary. He has no intention of changing the route. It would be meaningless - the newspaper will still show the changed itinerary the next morning.

   And the road is no longer safe - the route from the habitat to the town is not like the trade route, which is repeatedly cleared. Strange wandering, nesting in barren land, everything along the way may become their prey.

  This place is completely different from the Hillelvig Mountains, and Lu Li cannot survive alone in this undisclosed, long wilderness. You can only rely on the tree man to disperse Xiao Xiao. If he encounters the strangeness that the tree man is difficult to fight, Lu Li will take the opportunity to capture it into the dream and solve it easily.

   As the evening approached when it was difficult to see, the scarred tree man arrived at a rolling hill.

  Meishan Town is located in the center of this hill, and Luli is very close to the destination.

   "Stop here."

   The dead tree man's palm landed, and Lu Li stepped on the ground.

   He put the palm of his hand on the tree man's knotted roots, and gave all the humanity he harvested along the way.

   The limbs of the treeman that were torn apart by the weird and the old wounds grew out of new branches, and the tearing sound like the collapse of the tree sounded from the inside of the tree body along with the growth.

   A xenogeneic lurking nearby was attracted by the leaked human breath, and sprinted to attack Lu Li.

   It is like a relative of the six-legged monster, with four arms clutching crude weapons. The newly born branches of the tree man stretch out six or seven meters away to wrap around the alien species. When it was strangled, its bulging abdominal cavity exploded, and its body was torn apart.

   The damage caused by the "self-destruction" of the alien species to the growing tree person is insignificant, and the broken branches grow back in an instant.

  An arm attached to his shoulder flew to Lu Li's feet, and the burnt crack emitted a pungent smoke like burning coal. Thinking of the next trip, Lu Li pulled out his dagger to cut off his shoulders, glued the entire arm to his armpit with adhesive, and put on a cloak.

  The current Lu Li looks like an alien with three arms.

   Picked up the weapons scattered everywhere due to self-destruction: broken shovels, sharp wooden handles, and abandoned tools used by aliens as weapons.

  Lu Li bid farewell to Shuren and stepped into the area of ​​Meishan Town. The gravel and gravel beneath his feet gradually turned into a coal-like blackness as he entered the hills. Along the way, Lu Li met some wandering Inhumans, many of them had the same distortion: a third and fourth limbs grew out of their armpits or chest.

   The same pollution means that the gods of Meishan Town have converted the town into a territory.

  As we approached Meishan Town, mines and pits began to be seen everywhere. The wilderness is piled up like a hill of coal, and the sound of non-stop coal mining echoes in the night sky.

   The church here seems to be digging something.

  Meishan Town is not a trade point for merchants, and Lu Li has limited knowledge of this place—only that it is located in Meishan.

  Lu Li could already see the light from Meishan Town. She was excluded from the territory due to the strange fog that arrived at night.

  The scattered stone houses are shining brightly. Considering the massive coal resources, it is not surprising that the residents of Meishan Town have the luxury of fuel.

   This luxury also makes the town of Meishan like a melting pot, the town is as warm as summer, but the smoke is still lingering in the nose.

  The three-handed Lu Li fits well into the town. Walking on the cinder-paved road, looking for gaps between hotels, Lu Li observes the behavior of the believers here—the behavior of the believers depends on their gods. Generally speaking, devotees of evil spirits follow the extremes, and cultists of moderation of spirits are lazy.

   But until Lu Li came to the door of the tavern where the noise was heard, he did not meet any local believers.

   Entered the tavern, unobtrusively asked the counter guy for a room and rye wine, sat at the counter listening to the tavern conversation, and found an intelligence hunter sitting in the corner.

   He does not have the distortion characteristics of Meishan Town, and he wears sackcloth under the leather armor, which no locals would wear in the hot Meishan Town.

   After the guests at the table left, Lu Li took the rye and sat opposite the intelligence hunter, pushing the wine glass in front of him.

   "Do you know anything about Meishan Town?"

"What do you want to know?"

   The intelligence hunter glanced at Lu Li's third arm.

   "Where will the coal be sold here?"

   "This is also part of the answer...even the money for the drink." The intelligence hunter raised the glass to indicate to Lu Li, he drank most of the frothy brown wine, "It's almost impossible to sell it."

   The dark age forced all the gods and towns to be closed. Who would spend a lot of resources and manpower to build trade routes just to transport coal that is almost useless except for heating?

   "How to buy coal."

  The intelligence hunter is a little strange: "Why buy it? There is coal everywhere. The town under our feet is built on a mountain composed of coal, and you can take them as you like."

   "What if there is a lot of demand?"

   The intelligence hunter showed a business-friendly smile: "It depends on how much you can pay me. The more you give, the more I know."

  Lu Li took out a hundred shillings.

   "Anything can get you coal here."

   Another hundred shillings on the dirty round table.

   "The church also charges the shilling, even though it's depreciating now."

   A third one hundred shillings was placed beside them.

   "For a pound of sand for a pound of coal, if you ship enough, you can also get the friendship of the Coal Mountain Church."

   Coal is like sand and gravel in Meishan Town, worthless, meaningless, or even worse - after all, sand and gravel won't burn for hundreds of years with enough fire.

   At that time, Meishan Town will also cease to exist.

   The intelligence hunter held down three shillings with his dirty palms, put them back on his chest, and immediately took out one and returned it to Lu Li.

   "I don't want to be killed by you after getting rich rewards in the forefoot. Appropriate greed is the secret to the survival of intelligence hunters." The hunter in a good mood answered Lu Li's gaze.

  Lu Li did not accept the shilling, but continued to ask: "Where are the local believers?"

  The intelligence hunter happily accepted the shilling, stomping the floor with the boots under the table: "Be a miner. No one likes to sleep on a pile of fuel, not even a god."

   "Because of your generosity, there is an additional piece of information: Meishan Town has not yet traded with any towns. If you want to trade, the Church of Meishan will beg you."

  Because of Lu Li's generosity and vaguely obscure atmosphere, he regarded Lu Li as a believer in other **** towns.

  Lu Li finished the questioning, rejected the entanglement of the girl who also had three hands, and returned to the upstairs room.

   Confirmed that there were no eavesdroppers, Lu Li summoned the businessman Anthony: "Let the tree man in the plant habitat **** you over, and contact the local church to buy coal."

   For the land of light, whether it is used as fuel for smelting or heating for the coming cold rainy season and future winter, coal is used.

   And the merchant has no fighting ability, so if you don’t want to have an accident, it is necessary to **** it—and you can appropriately reduce the price.
