Chapter 84 Identification
Heywood, who was wandering outside, came back and saw Raphael for the first time, and after a few seconds of stunned, he jumped up and knocked the other party to the ground and beat him hard, and the room was full of chickens and dogs.
With Raphael's participation in dinner, Heywood joins the group of sea eaters, and after the storm has passed, everyone touches their bulging bellies and chatters leisurely.
"You said there were strange mercenaries wandering around recently?" Du Yuhan spread out on the bench and picked his teeth leisurely.
"Hmm." Savoring the fish soup in the bowl, Raphael's gestures always carried an indescribable elegance. He enjoyed it with his eyes half-squinted, and had eaten a variety of delicacies, but this ordinary home-cooked meal always had an inexplicable taste.
"How do you know there's mercenaries around here?" Thinking about it, Heywood struggled to prop up his upper body.
"Are you sure it's a wandering mercenary?" Ignoring a confused look on Haywood, Kevin confirmed again.
"Not sure, because the other party looks like they are intent on gathering intelligence." Putting down the empty bowl in his hand, Raphael shook his head.
"Maybe it's just an ordinary intelligence monger." Du Yuhan didn't care.
Du Yuhan's explanation did not put Kevin at ease, he half-lowered his eyes and glanced at Raphael without a trace. The two exchanged a quick look, and then he stood up, "Are you all ready?" ”
"Can't hold on, Kevin's cooking skills are getting better and better!" Unlike his own simple and crude approach, Kevin took the artistic route. The taste is not only long, but also the taste.
"Well, it's okay." Heywood hiccuped contentedly.
"Squeak!" Dogan also expressed his opinion.
Du Yuhan pouted.
You guy obviously ate the most and grabbed the hardest, but I didn't expect it to just let you settle.
stood up to help clean up the mess, but Kevin stopped him, "You still have to make an order, just let someone else do this kind of thing." ”
Others? Is there anyone else willing to help? Of the four, Heywood would never have picked up the mess; As for Raphael...... Forget it, why bring shame on yourself?
However, when Kevin stared at Raphael with a smile on his face, the other party automatically and consciously helped.
Du Yuhan: ......
Haywood:......
"What's wrong? You can get busy. Sending a smile to his lover, Kevin turned his head to the stunned Heywood and frowned in disgust, "Get out of the way and get out of the way." ”
Scratching his head for some reason, Du Yuhan grabbed the bear child who was about to go crazy, and drove out with deception and coaxing.
With Raphael's help, Kevin brought a large wooden tray from the kitchen and placed it in the backyard.
"Who are those?" Adding hot water to the large wooden plate, Kevin crouched down and rolled up his sleeves to put the dishes on the plate to remove the oil.
"I don't know, but I'm well trained." A bucket of water was drawn from the well, and Raphael lifted it up and put it aside, then patted the dust off his hands and sat on the edge of the well and crossed his legs.
Trained? Then it wouldn't be a robber who only coveted money.
Could it be a nobleman's subordinate?
"Enemies?" Kevin doesn't believe that Raphael blindly judged that the enemy was dangerous just because he was gathering intelligence and was well-trained.
"It should be, their actions are very organized." Raphael paused, "There were also attacks." ”
Attack?! Kevin was stunned, then why didn't they find out? But when I think about it, I understand. It is estimated that before the other party can make a move, it was solved by the surrounding guards.
For a while, neither of them spoke, and suddenly it was terrifyingly quiet.
The faces of the two of them are not very good-looking, strictly speaking, the four of them are being hunted down, but they don't know whose people it is, and it is really difficult to take the initiative to resolve the crisis.
The enemy is dark and I am clear, and we can only be careful everywhere for today's plan. What's more, the other party did not make a direct move, which shows that he is also afraid. Anyway, there are Raphael's men around, so it shouldn't be too dangerous if you pay more attention.
"Here you go." Kevin was the first to break the silence and threw the rag into the other's arms.
"Why?" Raphael pinched the corner of the dishcloth with a look of disgust.
"You can also choose to cook." Kevin looked at him with a smile on his face.
Raphael's indifferent expression was slightly distorted, and he struggled for a long time before he reluctantly squatted down and stiffly brushed the bowl.
Seeing this, Kevin casually reminded, "Wash it up." ”
"Hiss-" There was a cracking sound, and the rag split in two.
"Please be gentle, there's just this rag at home." With that, with a look of schadenfreude, Kevin left the backyard without looking back.

As night falls, the day is over, and the city of Fran reveals a different look.
In the most popular southern district, the Sodos auction house is bustling with activity, with lavishly decorated horse-drawn carriages parked outside and guests led into the building by waiters.
From the outside, the auction house is only two stories high, but only the upper class knows that there are two floors underneath the auction house.
On the basement level is the special auction hall, where bidding auctions are held every seven days, where all the valuable items are put up for bidding. All the goods participating in the auction are valuable treasures, so the guests are nobles and celebrities.
However, tonight's auction is even more important because of a distinguished guest.
As the owner of the auction house, Oliver rarely shows up, but Wagner Taylor definitely deserves to be greeted by him in person.
"Honorable Taylor, welcome to you." Followed by several subordinates, he saluted the old man in his black cloak.
"Well, good evening." Wagner bowed his head back, although his expression was still tight, but there was a faint expectation in his eyes.
After the pleasantries, guided by Oliver, Wagner walked into a preparation room. "This is it?"
"Yes, please wait a moment." At Oliver's motion, several staff members carried the three items out. The exterior is covered with white flannel, and it is not clear what shape it is, but from the outer outline, it looks like statues of various sizes.
"I'm looking forward to it." Wagner snorted coldly.
"Definitely a sight to behold, Your Excellency." gave his subordinates a look, and the staff uncovered the first white cloth.
Wagner looked down nonchalantly, but could no longer take his eyes off.
I saw a white mist as thick as cotton, leaning on a palm-sized eight-figure gourd. The main material is composed of pale yellow bamboo, on which many small unknown characters are engraved, and in the shallow impressions, a faint green light gradually brightens and fades. In the lower part of the gourd, a huge symbol is deeply carved, and the inside is filled with pure and lustrous red dansha crystal, which seems to flow with a layer of orange-yellow golden light under the cover of the candlestick.
Wagner's eyes widened in surprise, and he leaned forward to gently touch the uneven texture of the gourd, and although he couldn't understand what the symbol meant, it felt like a kind of text.
Although he is not yet excellent, he is still satisfied with the craftsmanship of the maker, especially this kind of styling, and he can't help but look forward to the remaining two models.
"What do you think?" Oliver asked cautiously.
"Well, it's okay." Although his face was still tense, there was a hint of pleasure in his words.
Even if it was only a passing grade, it meant that the model was collectible, and Oliver couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly motioned for his subordinates to open the second white curtain.
It was a life-tall figure model, a graceful mermaid girl sitting gracefully on a boulder, and her quiet smile came to life. The fair skin seems to have a temperature, which makes people can't help but caress gently, and the blue eyes are full and smart, vivid.
Wagner leaned in and looked closely, only to find that the skin was endowed with leather, so it felt soft and smooth to the touch; The eyeballs are not ordinary sapphires, but a blue-green liquid, so it's no wonder they look vibrant. As for the bottom part of the fish's tail, each piece of fish scales is given a dark red rusty iron metal. Under the worn-out scratches, faint light blue marks flowed slowly along the edges like capillaries.
The most striking thing is the long bright red hair, which is endowed with a blazing flame material, gently swaying in the air.
Xu Zuò has absolute confidence in his own technology, he does not shy away from some taboos in the use of materials, boldly match some hedging materials, and he has indeed achieved good results.
And the whole model doesn't use any new materials, all with a few scratches. As we all know, compared to new materials, dirty and damaged materials are not easy to make natural.
Wagner looked around the model for a long time, and the more he looked at it, the more delighted he became. The modeling level of the maker is solid, and the control of energy is also good, although the use of materials is still very jerky, but it is enough to make me excited.
Before Oliver could signal, Wagner walked up to the last model and couldn't wait to unveil the curtain himself.
But the object in front of him froze him in place.
