Lin An looked at the male warrior's outstretched hand. 「」

It was a rather beautiful hand, with short and neat nails, slender and powerful fingers, and some thin calluses distributed on the belly and palm edges, but the darker calluses were not gathered in the tiger's mouth, but between the thumb and index finger and on the outside of the index finger.

This is not a pair of hands accustomed to swords.

Lin An has been holding a pen and writing for a long time, holding a staff and practical instruments in her hand, if her body's repair ability is not so good, and she is not good at maintenance since she was a child, then the distribution of cocoons on her hands may be similar to those on this person's hands.

Lin An narrowed his eyes slightly:

Obviously, although the person in front of him is wearing a suit of fine armor, his profession may not have anything to do with a martial artist, even if he is not a mage, he should be a person who is used to holding a pen, and this person is not from a very good background, because any nobleman Lin An has seen, even if there are calluses on his hands, the other parts of his hands must be well maintained, even if he is a military nobleman, the importance of the hands that need to hold weapons will exceed their faces.

Unlike the one in front of him, even though it may be remediated and maintained the day after tomorrow, the traces of past labor and wind and frost can still be seen from these hands.

Lin An's gaze didn't stay long, but the male warrior - maybe now called a male attendant, seemed to be very sensitive to observation, and immediately found that Lin An's focus had exposed his flaws, and his outstretched hand shook it reflexively, and Lin An had already put his piece of voucher in his hand. 「」

The male attendant subconsciously glanced at Lin An, and the low brim of the hood blocked his peeping vision, but he seemed to be able to feel a thoughtful gaze shooting out from under the hood, and he couldn't help but feel a dark feeling in his heart. Wonder if she's found out who he is.

Putting away Lin An's original credentials, he took out another token embossed with a feather shield and handed it to Lin An.

Lin An accepted the token and probed the teleportation mark inside. Nodding quietly, "Let's go." ”

The squire nodded sideways and walked to a circle of light not far from the drawbridge. The figure gradually blurred.

Lin An also stepped into the aperture without hesitation, and there was no feeling of being teleported, just like after stepping into the gate just now, as if he had walked into a more viscous air, and then the light was bright.

She found herself standing on a platform facing the view, surrounded by a thin invisible layer of energy that cut off the outside world.

Below the platform, a huge lion-shaped monster sculpture can be seen. The long tongue of the lion sculpture is used as an auction platform, and around the auction platform are a number of smaller monsters of different shapes, bent and twisted into public seats. 「」

At this time, there were already quite a few people sitting in their seats, most of them using cloaks or spells to hide their figures, but there were also some who exposed their appearances in the bright light. But whether this is their true face is difficult to determine.

Before the auction started, there was no one from the host on the auction platform, but the visitors were not noisy, most of them sat calmly in their seats, and some people looked around, wondering if they were looking for someone or because they were interested in the environment.

Lin An had been in contact with prehistoric ruins, so she quickly guessed a lot of the situation here, but she didn't think that people who had not been in contact with prehistoric ruins couldn't guess.

She didn't let go of perception. Because she found that the thin layer of energy around the room certainly concealed the existence of the room, but it also isolated the two of her outward perceptions.

And she vaguely felt that there was an invisible force here, putting mental pressure on her, and it seemed to suppress the communication between the spiritual power and the elements - in other words, there might be a magic circle here that suppressed the effect of spellcasting.

Lin An walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and found that the room he was in turned out to be the eye part of a beast-shaped relief. There were many similar reliefs on the walls around the auction venue, and Lin An guessed that those reliefs might also have similar rooms in their eyes.

The auction hall has a tall vault, mostly in the style of such beast sculptures and reliefs, which looks very majestic, and judging from the expressions of the people in the public gallery below, they do not know that the beast reliefs on the wall have such a room hidden in their eyes. 「」

The male attendant didn't know what was moving, some seats floated in the room, Lin An curiously studied the seat formed by the wings of a flying horse hanging down behind him, thought about it, and unbuckled the cloak with one hand, revealing his face under the hood.

Black hair and black eyes, exuding a mature style, there is a kind of unassuming but unforgettable beauty, like a red rose that has bloomed.

The male attendant moved half a beat slower, as if he knew that Lin An would not let him come close to help, but he just reached out and took the cloak that Lin An had untied.

Lin An seemed to glance at him unintentionally, his phoenix eyes flashed sharply, and his lips moved slightly, but at this moment, the male attendant seemed to have heard something, and said softly:

"Master Lin, your companion has sent someone to look for you, did you invite him over?"

Lin An didn't rush to answer, and asked rhetorically: "Do you think I should be invited?" ”

The male attendant hung his head, as modest as if he were a real attendant, and replied formulaically: "This is naturally according to your wishes. ”

Lin An stared at him for two seconds, then withdrew his gaze and glanced at the interior decorations and reliefs in this room, "Is there monitoring here?" ”

"We respect our guests' **." 」”

Lin An pursed his lips, chuckled, and glanced at the male attendant again before saying, "In that case, please invite my companion over." ”

The male attendant bowed and withdrew.

Soon after, Sidney walked in, followed by a lady-in-waiting, dressed in a white robe, with a collar buttoned to her chin, green eyes, and a voluptuous figure that made her look charming and youthful.

After the example of the previous male attendant, Lin An didn't think that this female attendant must be a white-robed mage, and her spiritual power was swept away, and she was really just an ordinary person, but her mental power was slightly stronger, and she could reach the threshold of a low-level apprentice.

Sidney didn't feel this waitress at all, walked straight into the room, nodded to Lin An who stood up to greet him, and found a place to sit on Lin An's left - this world is precious to the left.

Lin An entered the room directly from the space of the drawbridge, but there was another door on the side of the room, presumably connected to the room hidden in the eyes of these reliefs, and Sidney had come in from here. 「」

But after the female attendant, Lin An didn't see his male attendant, so he didn't sit down immediately and asked:

"Where's that squire of mine?"

The waitress saluted lightly, bowed her head and replied:

"That squire is leaving temporarily, and it should be a report for your change of level."

The answer was ready, as if she guessed she would ask.

Lin An already understood in his heart, so he didn't continue to ask, nodded and sat down unconcernedly, turning his attention to the auction hall below, and talking to Sidney in a low voice.

"You didn't touch anything."

"It's okay," Sidney replied succinctly, seeing Lin An so fine, he felt a little abnormal, and asked, "What about you?" ”

"As you can see, a notch up." Lin An raised his eyebrows and smiled, and his words were still unfinished.

Sidney sensed something, glanced at the waitress, and ordered:

"Get out."

The waitress saluted, quietly withdrew, and closed the door silently.

Lin An saw that the person went out and released a shielding array, feeling that the spiritual power was more difficult than normal when communicating the elements, only to find that the suppression here seemed to be greater than expected, after all, her spiritual power level was already like this, so the suppression of the spiritual power at the formal mage level was even greater.

Lin An guessed that there should be a magic circle that forbade the ability of a martial artist here, but she was not a martial artist, and she was not familiar with the magic array runes used in this ruin.

After releasing the shielding circle, Lin An relaxed his posture, and Sidney seemed to be probing the room as well, and his frowning brow showed that he felt some pressure to cast the spell.

When coming to an unfamiliar environment, it is the habit of many mages to make a preliminary exploration first, Lin An leaned back in his chair, and waited for Sidney to finish before he said:

"It's like a prehistoric site."

Sidney nodded, obviously he had thought of it as well, which was not difficult for a more knowledgeable mage.

"How's that entrance of yours?"

"No surprises." Sidney replied, staring at Lin An, who felt that Lin An's answer would be different.

So Lin An talked about the process of her entering here.

Sidney's face was expressionless, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.

"I'm wondering why this ruin hasn't been discovered by the demons before."

If it is discovered, even if there is nothing left of this ruin, only those stone carvings and reliefs remain, judging from the size of the space here, it can also be said to be a natural habitat, as well as a very useful military station, and the demons will never give up without using it for a military role.

"Probably the remnants of a recent awakening." Sidney said.

"That's the only reason." Lin An nodded.

The history of civilization in this plane is very long, leaving behind many pre-existing relics of different civilizations, buried in the underground, in the sky or in the sub-planes, and only when the conditions are met can they be awakened and re-entered by later civilizations, and time constraints are only the most common condition.

This ruin, in Lin An's opinion, was like a prehistoric relic that had just emerged from the secondary plane, and the entity in the main plane seemed to coincide with the iceberg mountain range.

"The style of this relic is very distinctive, and you may be able to find some clues when you go back."

Sidney touched the cold stone beneath his seat, these stones seemed to be ordinary stones, but they carried strange energy structures, Sidney had also seen similar stone sculptures emerge from the flat ground, which was obviously related to shaping.

"Hmm."

Lin An was a little single-minded, occasionally looking at the location of the door, but there was a low noise in the venue below, Lin An's eyes lit up, and he found that someone had already walked up to the auction platform.

It was her male attendant who didn't say goodbye before.
