Bedika smiled mysteriously for the second time.

"A maid who dares to hide in front of me again and again, if not stupid, then it must be that you have enough power behind you to rely on - which one are you?"

The soft female voice came into Bedika's ears, and it seemed to have a gentle smile, and she chuckled violently in her heart, thinking that she had done it this time, and that she might have made the Venerable Lin suspicious.

She hurriedly raised her head, and her gaze touched the pair of black pupils that were not smiling, and there seemed to be a whirlpool in the depths of the black pupils that was turning rapidly, as if leading to an unnamed other side.

The gleam in Bedika's eyes faded into confusion.

"Who are you?"

"Bedicka."

"Who instructed you to seduce us?"

"......" Bedica was silent, and the fundes of her eyes struggled slightly.

Lin An was helpless.

She is indeed not good at enchantment-based spiritual spells, and the induction technique she used this time is much more smiling than the bewitchment technique of Salyn's hypnotic Donkas boss, because Bedika will still appear by her side in the past two days, so it can't be noticed that she has been used with spiritual spells, and she can't let her herself notice anything wrong.

The effect of the induction technique is moderated and cannot cause resistance from the recipient, while Bedicka's willpower is not bad among ordinary people, and when it comes to the problem of deep secrecy, her subconscious will resist.

However, from her reaction, Lin An had already determined that there was indeed someone behind her.

At present, it is enough to know this, and Lin An doesn't think that a pawn like Bedika who is in front of him can know more inside information.

The question didn't work, Lin settled down and changed to another one.

"What's so special about this auction?"

"This auction is co-organized by the organizers and Paradise Island." Bedika struggled only slightly this time before answering the question. It seems that the level of secrecy of this issue is much lower.

"Paradise Island?" Lin An frowned, "What kind of place is that?" ”

"It's an island, and as long as you have money, you can enjoy a qiē on the island."

This is just Lin An's self-talk. Unexpectedly, Bedica answered, it seems that this is a statement that has been prepared a long time ago, even if Lin An doesn't ask, Bedica will say it sooner or later in order to whet his appetite and increase his curiosity.

Well, it turned out to be a gold cave.

Lin An thought silently in his heart, from the positioning of Paradise Island, Lin An had secretly sketched the general image of the place, and the role of this gold cave for the builder is not difficult to guess:

One is to obtain financial resources, and the other is to organize contacts. The third is to buy and sell intelligence, of course, in addition to that. There may also be money laundering, transfer of assets, covert bribery and so on.

This kind of secret place can't see the light at all, and it's impossible to do anything in the dark if it's not black at all, but the backstage of Paradise Island can open Paradise Island under the nose of the imperial capital, which is enough to show that the background is tough. Even the "Strings of the Gods" and the backstage of the underground auction have something to do with them.

Looking at it this way, the possibility of Paradise Island targeting themselves is relatively small, and they send maids like Bedika to try and induce, I'm afraid it's just to screen the guests who can go to the island among the guests, after all, judging from the fact that this gold cave has not been famous outside for so long, Paradise Island is very strict in the selection of guests.

"I'm nervous." Lin An muttered. ended the mental control of Bedika.

Bedika's eyes flickered, and she regained her clarity, not having time to think about anything. Lin An's order came from front of him, "The time is almost up, go and see Andre, are they ready?" ”

"No, we're already out."

The voice came from the door of the cabin, and Andrei had already appeared at the door.

Bedika followed the sound. I couldn't help but be stunned.

For the first time, she saw Andre in a gorgeous white gown, a long golden and red ribbon wrapped around her waist. Then hang straight down from the left side; And Shiryl was also wearing a long white dress, also wearing a thinner gold and red ribbon around her waist, holding Andre in one hand.

However, her brow furrowed slightly, and she didn't seem to be used to the long skirt on her body.

Lin An turned around, saw Andre's brother and sister's outfits, stroked his palm, smiled, waved his hand to signal Bedika to go down, and then greeted Andre's brother and sister.

"Happy Birthday! If it weren't for this ship, your 20-year-old coming-of-age ceremony would have been properly organized! "The rules of adulthood are not exactly the same from country to country, but according to the customs of the whole continent, twenty years old is considered a true adult for both men and women.

"It doesn't matter," Andre said nonchalantly, "according to the rules of our master, reaching the official mage or gold rank is officially becoming a teacher." ”

As for this so-called 20-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, for them the symbolic meaning is greater than the practical meaning.

It's just that Lin An was careful, and after a whole day of absent-mindedness this morning, he still remembered that today was their twentieth birthday, and reminded him, otherwise the two Andre brothers and sisters might have spent an incomparably grand day for others in such ignorance.

Lin An had already prepared for their twentieth birthday, and had already prepared the ribbon, of course, this was not grand, but compared to many cultivators who had spent their adult days in the real yàn room or in the wilderness, it was also considered attentive.

Since there are conditions, the Andrei brothers and sisters did not refuse-even if it is only symbolic, the day when they officially enter the age of twenty, there is still a certain weight.

Andre and Shiryl were dressed in a way that was a little different from their usual dresses, which were the traditional dresses of Merlin's coming-of-age ceremony at the age of twenty.

One of the most important is the two ribbons that represent blessings.

The ribbon was woven by Lin An a long time ago. She had long guessed that the two would not remember their adult days. The dress was sent by Bedicka after knowing about today's special day, and the organizer specially sent it.

These two sets of dresses are white and noble, and the fabric that seems to have little embellishment is a magic cloth made of precious tree fibers, which is of course not as expensive as the ribbon woven from the two ice and fire spider silks sent by Bi Lin An, but the texture is silky and elegant, and the clothes made have a gorgeous and noble luster, which is suitable for wearing on such a heavy day.

Lin An took a closer look at the combination of the two.

Andre held a flame stone staff in his hand, smiled slightly and let Lin An look at it, his bright amber eyes were slightly elongated, and his expression seemed to be really mature and stable.

Shyryl was a little embarrassed and uncomfortable, and in order to match the outfit, her long blonde hair was tied into a bun, and the sword was withdrawn into space. At this time, my hands were empty, and I was feeling uncomfortable.

Lin An felt very satisfied, and clapped his hands lightly, "When I got those spider silks, I immediately thought of the most suitable for you, but unfortunately there was a little less, only enough to make two ribbons." ”

The two ribbons of ice and fire spider silk were obtained by Lin An from the sealing space.

Some time ago, when he had nothing to do on the return boat, Lin An counted the days of reunion with Andre's brothers and sisters every day, and remembered that it would be their 20-year-old coming-of-age ceremony soon after. So I made two ribbons out of the materials in my hand.

This mutant spider silk has a powerful elemental amplification attribute, and the two attributes of ice and fire are a perfect match for Andre's brother and sister.

"Waste." Shiryl burst out with a word.

She is a cultivator of Ice Flame Douqi, and her attributes are more compatible than Andre. As soon as the ribbon was put on, she sensed the powerful amplification ability in it, such a material was too luxurious to use as a ribbon that could only be worn for a day—the value of demonized weapons was in amplification, and the amplification of this spider silk could be used not only for attacks. The value is much higher than that of ordinary demonic weapons.

"Don't worry, I've got a backhand. There's no enchantment on it yet, so if you like it, just add a belt buckle and change it to a belt later. Lin An is confident.

Andrei touched the ribbon on the left side, thinking that of course he couldn't change it, he had to treasure it. This is a coming-of-age gift given to him by Ann herself.

John was silent, smiling and listening quietly to the conversation between the three men.

Today is a special day, and Andre and Shiryl must be participating in the auction together. In order to keep Shiryl from feeling abruptly uncomfortable, John acted as Lin An's male companion tonight, and changed into a dark cyan dress, while Lin An used the "Angus Illusion" to change into a silver-green long dress.

Of course, Andre regretted a little that he couldn't be Lin An's male companion, but he was with his twin sister in his coming-of-age ceremony. There's not much to say about that.

The four of them walked down together, and Lin An and Shiryl both wore a dark green butterfly and diamond mask on their faces. Andre and Johann are in the shape of two intertwined leaves.

By the time he reached the third floor, Saleen was already standing at the entrance of the gangway.

Next to him was a silver-haired lady with plump breasts and a thin waist in a crimson dress, her hair was pulled into a high bun, a strand of her temples hung down, and she held a white angel winged mask in her hand holding a folding fan, revealing a slender neck and delicate face, with a charming temperament, and I don't know how Saleen knew her.

The four of them walked over together.

"This guy is always so popular!" Andrei muttered.

"I smell jealousy!" Saleen laughed playfully.

He already had a mask of demon wings on his face, only revealing narrow peach blossom eyes, and the smile on his lips was evil, so that the female companion next to him raised a folding fan to cover her lips and giggled.

"No, I just think your previous image is a little more pleasing to the eye, affectionate and gentle and caring for your female companion, isn't it because of this that Nikita fell in love?"

André said something maliciously, glanced meaningfully at the young lady beside Salin, and smiled as he took Shiryl and left.

The young lady's smile froze, but Salin smiled calmly and shrugged, "I am more convinced that he is definitely jealous now." ”

He whispered a few words to his female companion, easily defusing Andrei's trap before following with his female companion.

When he walked to the deck, Salin's female companion had already put on a mask under his reminder, and Salin caught up with Lin An and John, and whispered, "I'm with Ji'er's friends, so I won't sit with you." ”

Saleen hadn't mentioned this beforehand.

Lin An was slightly surprised, and glanced at the Miss Ji'er, who was smiling reservedly and nodding slightly at her.

Lin An was surprised, it seemed that this Miss Ji'er didn't know their identities.

I don't know how Saleen perfunctory her, but presumably Saleen had other intentions. However, now that he has regained his memory, there is no need for Lin An to continue to control his actions, so after a little thought, he nodded.

Salin smiled, took the Miss Ji'er and walked first, walked to the arranged seats on the deck, and sat down in the middle and back rows, some people around him stood up to greet him as if they knew each other, Salin smiled brightly in it, and his female companion Ji'er was a bird, and it was completely impossible to tell that they had just met last night.

There were quite a few people in that circle, and Salin was in the middle of it, as inconspicuous as an ordinary guest attending the auction.

Lin An looked at him for a moment, and his gaze moved to the front row, and sure enough, he was on the left side of the front row near the middle. Galileo was discovered. He didn't wear a mask, and next to him was a male mage in a silver and blue robe.

The two sat next to each other and talked casually, a large empty area behind them.

Although the organizers do not arrange the order of seating, the guests automatically follow the default unspoken rules, and the seats there are not for everyone to sit in, and no one who can get on the "strings of the gods" will bring shame on themselves.

The face of the mage beside Galileo was unfamiliar, but the temperament exuded from his body was obviously of noble origin, even if it was not deliberately displayed, it also implied the usual arrogance of the superiors, and his gestures were with a touch of elegance and majesty.

Lin An immediately confirmed his identity. Looking at the Andrei siblings again, they had already walked to the right of Galileo at a distance apart.

Shiryl didn't seem to pay attention to Galileo, standing next to her seat and looking back at Lin An. Motioned for them to come.

André had already noticed Galileo and the silver-robed mage's, and was looking over there, staring at the two of them.

Seeing the distance between the two seats and Andre, Lin An already understood the reason why Salin left.

She turned her head to look around.

At this time, many people were already seated, and a considerable number of them showed their true faces. There are also many people like Lin An who use masks to cover up at will, but they don't use various methods such as spells to disguise their true faces, even if Lin An only went out once at noon, he also noticed a few familiar faces that he saw in the book salon at noon.

These people basically got on the boat early like Lin An and his party, and they showed up everywhere on the ship.

And what really needs to cover their faces are some strange visitors who are late and have all kinds of vague fluctuations on their bodies. They are interspersed with various positions of the seats, and there are also various masked guests walking around in the middle, which is not abrupt.

Only then did Lin An understand the organizer's intention of arranging this.

Presumably, Andrei's gaze was too much to ignore. Galileo had already turned his head and stood up from his seat, walking in Andrei's direction under the gaze of the silver-robed mage.

With a smile on his lips, Andre stood in place with his chest crossed, the vertically falling ribbon printed on his white robe. Let him exude an aura of confidence and pride, and the approach of two imposing men. Some people near the front seats looked at them.

"This is the Galileo!"

Lin An sighed and was about to walk over with John.

At this time, there was a sudden exclamation behind him, and a body with the aroma of fat powder collided.

Lin An felt a wave of hostility in his back, took a step forward and quickly dodged sideways, and John's grabbed her slender shoulder, and immediately pulled Lin An to the side, isolating from the other party.

The girl who bumped into her body was empty, her strength was lost, and she immediately fell forward.

The male companion beside her had already stretched out his hand in time, but the girl seemed to feel that something under her feet tripped over, and the whole person sped up and pounced forward, and her male companion fell off guard by surprise!

"Rankia!"

Bang Dang!

When the girl fell, a waiter happened to walk by in front of her, and there were more than a dozen glasses of champagne on the tray in her hand, and the girl took Lin An's place and fell on the waiter, and the huge sound of the chain reaction immediately attracted the eyes of half of the deck and focused on the girl.

"It's you! You! ——”

The girl in shame and anger looked up frantically, but was stunned to find that Lin An and John were standing ten steps away from the two of them, this distance was impossible for Lin An to stretch out his foot and trip her, but she obviously felt that someone had tripped her just now!

"Oh! Oh, my God! ”

"Miss, are you alright?"

The people around the accident reacted.

The lady in the front row, who was closest to the center of the accident, covered her mouth with a fan and hurriedly withdrew a few steps to check whether her grooming had been affected. The men spoke up to the door asking if they needed help.

The girl fell to the ground in disgrace.

Her mask fell to the side, her skirt was soaked, and there were some slags on the snow skin exposed outside the dress, and her face was wet with champagne or tears of shame, and after the initial shock, dazedness, and shame, she reacted to her situation, and quickly screamed in shame, and immediately covered her face with a fan.

"Rankia!"

Her male companion, who is Jumir, is the brother of Komili. Howard reacted at this time, quickly took off his coat and wrapped his sister, and even called the waiter to help Ke Miri up, and the innocent waiter bowed down in panic and apologized.

Then a chief waiter of the auction arrived and sent the girl down with her brother. Then the aftermath was dealt with, and this small turmoil subsided.

The surrounding guests were not unprecedented, and they quickly skipped this small accident under the appeasement of the chief waiter.

Lin An, who was standing more than a dozen steps away, saw the farce come to an end, and across the crowd, he glanced lightly at the dressed men and women standing opposite him, and left with John.

The pair of costumed aristocratic men and women wore fairy masks, but they did not disguise or use illusions, and it was not difficult for those who had seen them to recognize them.

The body of the girl trembled slightly, angry and afraid:

If she hadn't encouraged her brother's female companion Rankia, then she would have just made a fool of herself. This can simply be a scandal for a lifetime of a girl from an aristocratic background!

The look that Master Lin had cast just now was meaningful, and she was sure that the other party must have noticed her and Lankia's design.

But in the rear, Ke Milli was in the position of a bystander. It was clear that the woman didn't do anything, except that she seemed to have eyes behind her, and her movements quickly avoided Lankia's collision, and Lankia's accidental fall behind her seemed to be caused by her improper force and slipping under her feet.

Damn it!

The one who made a fool of herself should have been hers!

"You forgot what I told you. Ke Millie? I told you not to provoke her again. ”

Just as Ke Millie was secretly resentful and frightened, Kress's voice came from the side, a low voice that even if no one was a foot away from him, but the anger hidden in it made Ke Millie tremble.

"Cousin Cress, I, I'......"

"I don't like disobedient girls – there's no next time. Do you understand? The man's large palm caressed the hair on the back of Ke Milli's neck, gentle to the touch, but as if he was measuring something.

A chill ran through her neck.

The normally mild cousin Kress suddenly cooled down. She shuddered, and swallowed her rebuttal immediately.

……

On the other side, Lin An, who was walking towards Andre's brother and sister, also heard a warm voice in his ears, and the young voice contained an indescribable twilight taste.

"You hate them?"

Lin An paused.

The other party can detect the small actions she makes with her mental power, which just proves her position on him. The reason why she rashly used her spiritual power on this occasion was also to lure him out. Otherwise, if he wanted to hide his sang, she would probably find it difficult for her to find out.

Lin An followed the transmission fluctuation to find the source, and found the Lord Remus in an inconspicuous corner seat.

He sat peacefully in a seat, and the people next to him talked as if they didn't notice him.

He changed into a noble dress in the style of the Holy Empire, put his long legs on the other, leisurely turned sideways in the direction of Lin An, and his right hand on the armrest held a goblet with a colorless liquid in it, and raised it to Lin An with a smile, and said silently:

"Like my thanks?"

Surprised, Lin An nodded lightly to him, the other party smiled again, Lin An withdrew his gaze and continued to walk towards the front row.

When he got closer, Lin An heard Galileo's voice say:

“…… That's it! ”

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Lin An and John, who were slowly walking towards Andre, with a sneer on his face, and turned back to his position.

Lin An walked up to Andre and glanced at Galileo's back, "He's that Galileo?" What did you agree on? ”

Of course, she already knew that Andre had won the money, as well as their general past holidays, which boiled down to the long history of the struggle between the two arrogant sons of heaven in the middle and second periods.

"It's just the same as before," Andre disdainned, but he was still cautious in his heart, and then asked with a frown, "Ann, do you know what paradise island is?" ”

Lin An's pupils shrank, "He asked you to compete in that place?" You promised? ”

"Of course not! I'm not that stupid! Andrei smiled.

Lin An breathed a sigh of relief, and then told him about Bedika, as well as the background and general situation of the paradise island that he had guessed.

"Oh......"

Andre clenched his fists to cover his lips, looked down and thought for a while, his expression relaxed, "If that paradise island is really as Ann guessed, Galileo is probably not familiar with it." The guy was naïve, he didn't bother to use unshady means, and—"

He approached Lin An's ear and lowered his voice, "He likes men, so he shouldn't go to that kind of place." ”

What is the reason for this, does he think that there is no place to satisfy that hobby in the gold cave?

Lin An rolled his eyes, and then another "hehe" came from his ears, the voice was elusive, Lin An glanced at Andre, obviously he didn't hear this laughter.

"This little guy is so interesting!"

The voice with a smile whispered in Lin An's ear, "Paradise Island?" It just so happens that I'm going too, so why don't you go with me? ”

Lin An frowned, and asked Andre what he and Galileo had agreed on.

"We are bigger than who auctioned tonight, and the loser promised the winner a condition, and that's it." Andrei said.

At this moment, several spotlights hit the high platform behind the pool in front of the deck, and I don't know who used a sound amplification technique to cough lightly, and the deck gradually fell silent.

- The auction has begun.

(To be continued)
