Chapter 82 Master Di: I have become stronger and richer!
London, Scotland Yard.

The door of an interrogation room was roughly pushed open.

"Mrs. Raglan." Superintendent Lestrade came in from the interrogation room.

Mrs. Raglan was still neatly dressed at this time, but her eyes were dull and her spirits were listless. It was obvious that such imprisonment was not a small injury to an old lady of her age.

Seeing someone come in and call her name at this time, Mrs. Raglan's eyes showed a look of hope.

"What's the matter, sir? Can I go out?" She asked cautiously.

"Yes, you can go out."

"Really? I can go out now!" Mrs. Raglan regained her spirits in an instant, as if grasping at a straw.

"'Yes," Lestrade looked at the old lady in front of him with some pity, and then continued:

"But this is because of your advanced age. Her Majesty the Queen issued an amnesty order for you; and your family must pay the price for the loss of the crown. Not only will they face the punishment of deprivation of titles and all honors , and a huge fine will also be imposed.”

"What? The case of the missing crown? This has nothing to do with me? This is wrong! It's framed! It's slander!" Mrs. Raglan screamed with all her strength.

"The evidence is solid, Mrs. Raglan. The police found the remains of the explosives bearing your fingerprints in the attic."

221B Baker Street.

A golden light flashed in the living room. It was very bright at first, but then quickly dimmed. Although it would not disappear completely, it was indeed hard to distinguish with the naked eye.

"Is this enough?" Di Renjie held a glass bottle and asked the pocket watch suspended in the air.

"Of course, don't worry, these bottles have been inspected by the association. There is a special appraisal department in Avrido to prevent defective alchemy products from entering the market. Your bottle is a qualified product that has passed their inspection. Although the price will be about [-]% more expensive, the quality is absolutely trustworthy." Francis was suspended in the air, teaching very patiently.

His words made Di Renjie feel relieved, so he followed the steps just now and did it twice.

In the blink of an eye, two golden lights flashed again in the living room, and two bottles of sublimation afterglow were freshly released.

Sherlock was pretending to be reading the newspaper, but in fact his eyes had been sneaking towards Di Renjie and Francis.

At this time, seeing that the three bottles were filled with golden light, he couldn't hold back his curiosity.

"Ahem," Sherlock coughed twice, seemingly unintentionally, "Is this the sublimation afterglow we used when we stepped into the extraordinary?"

"Yes, you are right." Di Renjie replied, without taking his eyes off the glass bottle in front of him.

"Is the value high?" Unknowingly, Sherlock has moved to the side of one person and one watch.

"Take your hand away," Francis said to Sherlock with some dissatisfaction, "it's very precious."

"Haven't I used it before?" Sherlock pursed his lips.

"That's what Mycroft prepared for you, you can't afford it yourself." Francis looked at Sherlock with a countryman's eyes.

This made Sherlock a little uncomfortable.

"Then how much does this thing cost?" Sherlock didn't bother to ask Francis, he turned to look at Di Renjie.

"This is a little complicated." Di Renjie pondered for a moment, with a faint smile appearing in his eyes: "When I was talking with His Excellency Francis yesterday, he agreed to bid 100 pounds."

"100 pounds?" Sherlock was a little surprised, but although the price was a bit extravagant, it didn't reach the psychological bottom line of the great detective, so he glanced at Francis with some disdain:
"100 pounds is not enough for me to afford it. Mr. Pocket Watch is really short-sighted. You don't know anything about the income of a great detective."

"Hehe," Francis sneered, "The 100 pounds is just a deposit for this bottle of Sublimation Afterglow. When I really find a suitable person to use it, I have to come up with an extraordinary item of the same value to make up the difference."

Sherlock suddenly petrified, and Di Renjie spread his hands at Sherlock a little embarrassedly, saying that it was you who answered the conversation too quickly, and he didn't deliberately frame him.

[Careless in making friends! 】

Sherlock rubbed his head with some headache.

"Okay, okay," Di Renjie said with a smile: "Although the asking price is very high, I plan to give this bottle of Sublimation Afterglow to His Excellency Francis. After all, he has given us a lot of guidance these days. Thank him very much."

Francis nodded happily in his pocket watch.

"Okay," Sherlock reluctantly accepted the fact, but he was still a little curious: "Is this thing really so expensive? When John and I got it, it didn't seem like much trouble?"

"Very, very precious," Francis said earnestly: "The afterglow of sublimation is the most important strategic material for the association. After all, the afterglow of sublimation produced by each extraordinary person is extremely limited, and the association must use sublimation to cultivate new blood. Afterglow, the kind of genius who forcibly obtains the blessing of the eternal balance relying on his own talent may not have one in ten years, so the association will always be in a state of shortage for sublimating Afterglow.

"This has caused the association to purchase the afterglow of sublimation at a very high price. Basically, more than 90.00% of extraordinary people will sell the afterglow of sublimation they produced to the association after obtaining afterglow of sublimation.

"According to the current price offered by Alfredo, a sublimation afterglow can be exchanged for a second-level alchemy wonder or an equivalent extraordinary item. Well, this is still a bit difficult for you to understand. If you want to convert it , a second-order extraordinary item, its price is generally around seven or eight hundred pounds to one thousand pounds."

"In other words, as long as an extraordinary person can be promoted to the second level, he will immediately have a net worth of around three thousand pounds?" Sherlock said in disbelief.

It's not that he's greedy for the money, he just thinks it's too much
"That's right, so the association also calls the afterglow of sublimation born of the transcendent's promotion to the second level the first pot of gold of the transcendent." Francis said with a smile:

"After all, for most extraordinary people, if they are not willing to put down their status and work for others, the process of promoting from the first level to the second level will consume a lot of money. After all, they need to constantly buy books and experimental materials, which is a lot of money. Many members of the association are in universities or various research institutions, because this can save them a lot of expenses. In addition, most extraordinary people can only maintain their balance of payments when they reach the second level.

"In addition, although the purchase price of the association is a second-order extraordinary item, the price of sublimation afterglow traded on the market often exceeds 1000 pounds. The reason is also very simple. The association's purchase of sublimation afterglow is to cultivate excellent newcomers, which makes There are strict application conditions behind every Afterglow. This kind of threshold makes some people who have no confidence in themselves turn to the way of market acquisition, so a premium will be generated.

"However, because the overall atmosphere of the association is good, most members have a sense of belonging to the association; in addition, in addition to property, the association will also give other benefits to those members who sell Shenghua Afterglow to the association, such as invitation letters for internal purchases Wait, so most members will not choose not to trade Shenghua Afterglow to the association simply because of the high premium."

Of course, Francis had explained this information to Di Renjie long ago, but Di Renjie still chose to give Francis his afterglow of sublimation. The favor ratio of a Tier [-] powerhouse is obviously more valuable than the latter.

"So John, you just gave Francis 1000 pounds for free?" Sherlock said in surprise.

Di Renjie spread his hands helplessly, indicating that you heard correctly.

"You really are." Sherlock didn't know how to evaluate this behavior, so he could only give Di Renjie a thumbs up and said:
"It's nice to have money."
