Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 794 Eighty-five. Merchant

  The barnacles and rust are like ugly scars, the paint of the ship is corroded and the original color and lettering cannot be seen, and the dilapidated deck is in disrepair.

  The sea breeze has seriously corroded this ship that has been wandering at sea for more than 20 years.

   However, the internal problems of large ships are more serious, such as cave-like cabins and water accumulation in closed cabins.

Inside the ship repair yard, a group of engineers gathered on the shore, discussing how to clean the hull, and guessing the origin of the ship from the incomplete handwriting on the hull.

   Some say the Lutas, some say the Iron Queen—both ships that disappeared early in the Weird Age.

  OM——

   The big ship let out a low cry, the engineers raised their heads in astonishment, and looked at the mayor and the exorcist who were surrounded by guards behind them.

   The eldest sister's head, who rubbed her eyes under the mask, came out of her hood: "It doesn't want humans to get on the body."

   There is one more.

   Mayor Mateus Knox thought.

   Wiener Ice Harbor has never liked weirdness.

   But special people always have special treatment. For example, Lu Li, people will only say "Look, even weirdness is around him".

  Lu Li stood on the shore of the shipyard and looked up at the rusted hull: "They are here to help you. They will clean up the rust and water leakage in the lower cabin for you."

   "Well...it agreed." The eldest sister, who stretched her waist, retracted her hood.

  Lu Li looked at the nervous engineers not far away: "That's it."

   Back to Mayor Mateus Knox.

   "It's a big guy, isn't it?" The mayor said with emotion, thinking that if this big ship was used as a battleship, it would not need many soldiers to become a powerful combat force comparable to the Hercules Giant.

   Although, as the mayor of Wiener Freeze Port, he should not have such thoughts.

   pacified the big ship, and they left the shipyard for the museum.

   This time, the road became more crowded, and the road leading to the museum was crowded with citizens who heard the news, and even the guards could not disperse.

   Looking out the car window, struggling to resist the wall formed by the guards shouting crowded citizens, Mayor Mateus Knox asked, "What do you want to say to the citizens?"

   "No need." Lu Li replied.

   Same as rumor.

  Mayor Mateus Knox said indifferently: "In fact, they were more impressed by your deeds in King Ellen and the **** dandelion incident than when you fought against silence."

   "Alan King City and Scarlet Dandelion?" Katarina couldn't help asking, she had never heard of these.

   "A well-known story." Mayor Matthaus Knox briefly recounted it. "Speaking of which, is Miss Katerina Mr. Lu Li's wife?"

   "No." Lu Li said.

   Mayor Mateus Knox nodded, opened the car window, suddenly became noisy, stuck his head out and said loudly to the assistant's ear: "Tell those newspapers, I don't want the scandal about Lu Li to appear tomorrow."

  Close the windows to block out the noise, complained Mayor Mateus Knox: "They're always guessing and they're never apologizing for saying the wrong thing. Allowing them to say it will hurt your reputation."

  Because of the crowded citizens, it took them twice as long to reach the gate of the museum.

   Mayor Mateus Knox stepped out of the car, looked at the people waiting in front of the door and sighed helplessly.

   In addition to the director of the Greater Monterey Museum, members of all factions and nobles are also present, including his biggest political enemy, Ivo Cobdo.

   Damn political fight.

   Curator Franco led Lu Li into the museum with compliments, and Mayor Matteus Knox fell behind.

   "You did it first." Member of the Brotherhood, Councilman Ivo Cobdo, with a fake smile, passed the mayor without respect.

  The hustle and bustle is blocked.

  Smooth waxed marble floors reflect gorgeous chandeliers and soothing music flows through the promenade.

   Curator Franco can proudly declare that no other place is closer to the old days. The Greater Monterey Museum houses everything from that era.

   Crowns and treasures of old kings, statues of master artists, portraits of legendary figures, relics of ancient civilizations, oil paintings of Shymfast, and even an anchor with the seal of Rodster Harbor.

  People from the old days can find memories here, and people from weird times can also feel the heavy history.

   These did not delay Lu Li's footsteps, and curator Franco kept leading him to the depths of the museum.

   "That's the 'merchant'."

  The smart people stopped, including Katerina, not to disturb Lu Li, who was walking towards the "businessman" alone.

  It is enclosed in glass on all sides.

   Like those crowns and treasures - and the clothes in the window.

   The pile of dirty clothes on his body is like a homeless man who wears everything on his body to keep warm, and the huge backpack behind him can almost hold a person. Half of his face was hidden under a burgundy tattered scarf.

  The tall businessman stood in the window, his head lowered.

【merchant】

  【Partner of the exorcist in the old days】

   The sign on the side reads.

  Lu Li stared at the scarecrow-like still businessman, and suddenly, the surrounding colors became mottled and faded, as if being dragged into delirium, all the surrounding colors faded and fell into nothingness.

   The eldest sister's head in the hood also disappeared without a trace.

   There is only one desk in front of you.

   There is an envelope on the table.

  Lu Li lowered his eyes, there were handwritings on the envelope.

  【The last exorcist personally enlightened】

  …

   "Your Excellency the Exorcist must be in the sadness of his companion's passing away..."

   Sensual curator Franco whispered poetically.

  The rational mayor and councillors just watched quietly, although they were indeed touched.

   But a scene that made people stunned happened: under the gaze of Lu Lidi, the businessman in the window slowly raised his head.

   "It's tomorrow morning—" Curator Franco lost his voice.

   Lu Li's still eyes suddenly changed, calmly watching the awakened businessman stepping out of the window, as if passing through a water curtain without ripples.

   "Exorcist Lu Li... What do you need to trade?" The businessman's usual indifferent voice sounded.

  Lu Li thought for a while, and said calmly, "Let's get acquainted with this world first."

  …

   "I must say that Your Excellency Lu Li is a miracle man!"

   "Mr. Lu Li has awakened a businessman who is closely related to the exorcist. His identity is beyond doubt."

   "I must say he has a relaxing demeanor, like being in a forest—"

  Whoa——

   Senator Ivo Cobdo put down the newspaper that wrote about Lu Li, and sneered: "Breathe? Knox's flattering look is like a dog wagging its tail."

   "But it's really... comfortable to be around him?" Senator Kaffi Lauder on the side didn't know which adjective to use.

   "Maybe it's a perfume or a little trick, he's just a human, not a god."

   Congressman Kaffi Lauder frowned: "If anyone hears this, you will lose your seat as a councillor. There are many councillors in the Brotherhood who have a good impression of Lu Li."

   "Just a bunch of idiots still driven by emotions."

  Ivo Cobdo paused for a moment: "But this is our good chance. Tell the rest of the Brotherhood, and by all means let Lu Li be the first to join our party."
