Chapter 449: The Auction of the Black
July 24th, 7 p.m
(Lloyd, Tio girl, please)
Shortly after the auction began, Randy and Ellie said goodbye to Lloyd, while Varji had already gone to the auction with his "client" first
"Royd San, are you scared?" Tio asked quietly
"It's a lie to say that I'm not afraid, but I think I'm just a little nervous," Lloyd sighed as he looked at the luxurious castle sitting on the water in front of him, "After all, it's a sheep into a tiger's den, and those dark horns that will be witnessed with their own eyes, but they are all prepared to this point, they must not be able to escape, otherwise how can they be worthy of Ellie's 40,000 meters."
"Lloyd-Sand is so optimistic, he can joke at this time" Theo squeezed Lloyd's hand hard, "I'm a little scared"
"It's okay, I'm here," Lloyd smiled and comforted
"Hey, can the two in front of you hurry up? There are still people waiting in the back, "Because of the large number of people, the spacious walkway is also a little narrow at this time", chirping in the middle of the road, what is crooked? ”
"Ah, I see," Lloyd didn't put his posture too low, he was now a guest at the auction, and he had to pretend to be a high-class person
"Welcome to the Underground Auction"
"This guest, can you send us your invitation?" The two men guarding the auction door vaguely surrounded Lloyd between them
"Give," Lloyd calmly took the invitation out of his arms
"Well, it's true," the man on the left nodded after carefully checking the authenticity, "I'm sorry, but can you tell us our names?" ”
"Kay. Bannings, but the name doesn't need to be said," Lloyd said with some dissatisfaction
"I'm sorry, but this auction is a little bit of a problem, what is the name of this young lady here?" They turned to see Theo and then turned back to look at Lloyd
The message in their eyes is undoubtedly this
"Theo. Bannings, are you being rude to my sister?" said Lloyd, feigned anger
"Sorry! Enjoy tonight's auction! The guards hurriedly gave way to the two of them
"It doesn't look like two siblings," the man on the right scratched his head as Lloyd entered
"Idiot, the kind of nouveau riche who wants to save face at a glance, how can he admit that he played with 12 or 3-year-old Lori, just using his sister's identity as a disguise" The man on the left said disdainfully
"I see" so Lloyd was hacked into "Lolicon" and "Change. state", although in a sense it is not bad
"Are you really nervous, Tio?" Lloyd asked with concern as he looked at Theo's sweaty palms
"Yes, I heard some bad noises," said Tio, a little gloomily, "all of them are full of desire. I'm sorry Lloyd Dessan, sorry for the trouble."
"No, it's okay, well, then Theo will just listen to me," Lloyd pondered for a moment and said the solution he had come up with, "so that the voices can be a little quieter."
"Royd San, you always say strange things with an expression that is beyond reproach," Tio said with half-squinted eyes, "This kind of person will often get stuck in the Shura field for no reason."
"Huh? What is an Asura Field? Lloyd, who had been exposed to Cecil's ears and eyes since he was sensible, was puzzled
"No, when I don't say anything," Theo tilted his head
"Hello, welcome to the underground auction" The butler who was standing in the front hall and was in charge of receiving guests greeted him, "Is it the first time to come?" ”
"Yes," Lloyd nodded after pausing to talk to Theo
"Then let me explain that the auction will be held at 9 o'clock sharp, and if you go up the stairs from this side, you will go directly to the lobby of the auction venue, and the butler will spread his hands straight ahead" and you can go to the salon on the left hand side to enjoy the food before the auction starts, and by the way, will the guests stay in the hall today? ”
"Ah, no, we won't stay tonight" Lloyd shook his head after a pause, as for why he was stunned, who knows (spread his hands)
"I see, if you change your mind, please don't be polite, just tell me, both of you can tour the museum before the auction starts, but some places are not enterable, please forgive me" The butler finished talking and planned to receive other guests, "If you have anything, please talk to me or other servants, we will help you solve it"
"Hmm," Lloyd nodded, and watched the butler leave
(There are still more than two hours before the auction, so let's take a look around now)
(I see, Royd Sang) and the two of them calmly began to walk towards the saloon on the left
(Isn't that Mrs. Imelda from Antique Street)
(Sitting in the corner is Miss Kirika, who helped in the commission of the counterfeit dealer last time) It was only when he came to the salon full of feasts that Lloyd found that an acquaintance was there
(In a sense, you shouldn't go over to talk,) Lloyd smiled bitterly in his heart
(It's a bit of trouble, Royd San, let's go)
So the two of them chose not to see it, after all, they were sneaking in, and the fewer people who saw them, the better
"Huh?" Just when the two wanted to leave, they found that there were already a lot of bodyguards at the door
(Whew!) )
(Was it discovered?) Lloyd and the others panicked
"Ladies and gentlemen," the butler smiled after glancing at the venue, "The organizers of this auction have come to visit you."
"Good evening everybody, I'm Marconi who is in charge of helping to hold this auction," greeted the fat man in purple with a smile on his face
"Welcome to the scene, I'm Harottman," the middle-aged man, who had a little gray hair, nodded in greeting
"Before we know it, our auction has ushered in its eighth year, and there are more and more guests and auction items, thanks to your strong support in recent years, and of course, the most important of which is that Speaker Harrotman can provide us with a venue," Marconi's face shook
"No, it's nothing, it's an excellent banquet that can gather the upper class, it's just a house, and I still want to thank all the guests who can appreciate their faces," Harottman said indifferently, "There will be a small party after the auction, please don't be inhibited, just come and play as your own home"
"Then it's rude, let's meet again when the auction starts," Marconi waved before walking away with Harrotman
Lloyd only felt a little lonely in his heart
(This is already an internationally recognized black market,) Tyo sighed
(Forget it, let's go to other places)
(Yes, Lloydsand) and the two of them quickened their pace and left the salon
Ten minutes later
"Hey" When Theo and Lloyd got to the man-made waterfall on the first and a half floors, someone from behind them suddenly tapped them on the shoulder
"Wow!" Lloyd, who was marveling at the wealth of the Harottman family, slipped and fell into the waterfall
"Royd San!" In a hurry, Theo even called out Lloyd's real name
The man in black grabbed Roy's arm and pulled Roy up
"Thank you, but what did you just want to do?" Lloyd said solemnly
"What else can you do," the man took off his hat, "you're a failure in disguise"
"Huh? Esteem?!! Lloyd and Theo looked at their companions in shock
"What's wrong?" Chong was taken aback by their reaction
"What's wrong? Why are you dressed up like this? Lloyd hurriedly asked, "Could it be that it is too dangerous to knock the guards unconscious!" Here is me and Theo, you go out and meet up with Randy and the others first! ”
"Why should I knock the guards unconscious and sneak into such a place" Although he knew that Lloyd might be concerned about himself, Chong still felt as if he had been insulted, "I'm here"
"Ah, Chongjun, so you're here," someone else's voice suddenly came from the entrance
(Whew!) It was none other than Harrotman and Malconi who appeared at the entrance
"What's wrong," Chong asked coldly
"I probably haven't introduced you before I came, right? Were you talking to these two guests? Marconi walked over and glanced at Lloyd and Theo: "Are you acquaintances?" ”
"No, it's just that I saw the two of them standing in front of the waterfall for a long time, just remind me" Chong Leng said "What's the matter"
"Of course, I'm introducing you to someone, Speaker Harrotman, and this is the visitor from afar I mentioned to you," Marconi said enthusiastically, turning back enthusiastically, "Please be sure to get to know him"
"Hello" Harrotman held out his hand
"Hmm," and Chong just indifferently signaled that he didn't hold it
"You," Harottman glanced at Chong with some annoyance
"Speaker Harrotman, he's a guest from Japan, and if he is not satisfied, he will be complained by the embassy," Marconi whispered, "I can't let the Republicans find a chance."
"Have fun with today's auction," said Harottman, shaking off the sentence and leaving
"Speaker Harrotman's temper has always been like this, don't be surprised," Marconi explained, and then followed with a large number of bodyguards
"That one just now," Lloyd said was developing too fast for him to accept
"I was invited here to participate in the auction alone," Chong explained indifferently, "I came with Rubache in the morning, and I didn't have time to inform you with the power guide."
"No wonder I couldn't get through your number this morning, but what's the matter with your dress?" Lloyd puzzled, "It's too much like a thug from Rubahe"
Chong was silent for a long time
"Isn't it because you don't know how to choose clothes?" Theo had an answer
"No, I took off my dress after being knocked unconscious" Chong couldn't help but clench his fists as he said this, "It's too late to go out and buy a set again, so I can only borrow other people's suits"
"What?" Lloyd was surprised: "Knocked unconscious? Does that mean someone else got in? ”
"That guy better not let me see him" Chong only felt that this was a great shame, and sure enough, he responded to the old saying, how can he walk by the water without getting his shoes wet, and he has always done this kind of thing, and he was actually taken by someone else, which is even more shameful than the president of the moving company being moved
"Haha, anyway, what are you going to do now?" Lloyd asked after laughing innocently a few times
"As long as I don't go with you, I'll just walk around, and come to me when you want to do something" Chong put his hat back on, "This outfit can also be used as a disguise, as long as you can recognize it"
"Well, be careful"
"You don't need to say it," and the three of them parted again in front of the waterfall
Chong, who had just walked to the top of the stairs, suddenly heard someone's voice in his head
“?” Looking back in surprise, Lloyd and the others had already left from the other end
This time the voice was quieter
I remember that the Iron Rabbit in Class D always heard someone talking in his head, so he later became an immortal who could come to seven shots in one night (15 minutes), and he also brought back a Himmel from the corner of the world that he didn't know
After the sound died down, Chong chose to walk to the second floor, Marconi had said in the morning that the second floor was generally not a place where guests could enter
-- But I'm more honorable than the organizer, so of course I'm not a guest, so I have no problem going inside (booth hands)
