Galileo and Deputy Captain Yoctor said a few words, and when they walked to the ramp on the seventh floor, they happened to meet the Andrei brothers and sisters and Salin who had returned.

Andre, who had just won a lot of money from the other party, didn't care, flicked the deposit slip in his hand, and shrugged his shoulders with a grin. Salin then followed, paying a little attention to Captain Yorkett, who was beside Galileo, and left with the Andre siblings, noticing nothing.

Deputy Captain York looked at their backs, "Is that them?" ”

Galileo snorted slightly.

"What you are talking about, can you really be sure?"

In response to Galileo's unceremonious questioning, Deputy Captain Yorkett frowned and thought about it seriously, "The auction organizers are still not open enough, the connections and attraction of the 'Strings of God' are not fully utilized, we have dealt with Paradise Island a few times before, and as far as I know there, it is a place where there are no rules - your request is not difficult for there." ”

Galileo frowned, as if he was still a little uneasy.

He didn't know much about the so-called Paradise Island, and he basically heard it from the mouth of the deputy captain in front of him, and if he wanted to make an appointment with Andre to wash away the shame of the defeat of the Tower of Babel, he must first understand the situation clearly before he could concentrate on how to lure Andre into the bait - as far as he knew, Andre would not go to a place like Paradise Island.

Seeing this, Deputy Captain York looked left and right, saw that no one was approaching, and said in a low voice, "There is a rumor that it is actually the royal family's place of gold, so he is not afraid of some powerful people.

Of course, little is known about it, and those who know the place are very serious, and even the guests of this auction are only a small percentage of them who are qualified to go to the island. ”

Galileo nodded when he heard this, that paradise island turned out to be a place where the Merlin royal family secretly collected money. In this way, he is much more relieved.

But why didn't Jacob mention this place?

Galileo thought about it for a while, and felt that Jacob had always treated him as an ignorant child since he knew him, and he hadn't thought about letting him know too much about it, and Joshua, who really had an equal relationship with Jacob, was already dead......

Thinking of this, Galileo's face sank again, and he was in no mood to deal with Deputy Captain Yorkett anymore, so he left after a few perfunctory words.

Vice-Captain Yorkett suffered neglect. His face was a little bad, and he stood in place for a while, and returned to the cabin with a calm face.

As soon as you enter the door. He closed the hatch, carefully pressed it against the door, and listened, then took out a palm-sized golden bell from the bedside drawer, and tapped it three times with a gold rod at a specific place in the golden bell, and a low urn responded from the bell.

"Young Master. It's all done! ”

"Well done. Try not to be noticed, especially since your father ...... captain of the 'Strings of the Gods' will be your ...... one day."

……

“…… Friends? What kind of old friend actually made you win so much money? ”

In the face of Lin An's inquiry, Andre smiled, put his right leg on his left leg, and leaned his back on the sofa. "I didn't expect to win so much money in the first game of poker, who told him to send money! Anyway, the money came in the open, just in time to buy some good things at the auction! ”

He was still thinking about the materials that Lin An had given them after he had looted the Medici Treasury. If he can meet something good this time, he can just return it after buying it, because he has seen the materials that Lin An gave them, and Lin An has picked and applied them, which is quite useful to him.

As for the whereabouts of Lin An's remaining materials. He had already sent a letter back to inquire about the relationship between Shimen and the Medici. But I haven't heard back so soon.

Lin An saw that Andre didn't make it clear, and that Salin and Shiryl didn't care at all, and knew that it wasn't a big deal, so he asked them if they had dinner.

As soon as he said this, Andre felt hungry, and when Lin An said it, a loud chirp sounded in his stomach.

Lin An and John laughed dumbly, and Shiryl rolled her eyes. While smiling, Salin was also looking at Lin An's soft smile, his eyes were fixed, and he felt that he was a little out of place in the warm and harmonious atmosphere here.

Andrei touched his stomach with some surprise.

He had been playing, except for a few refreshments in the performance hall on the second floor, and he had barely eaten after that, and he had already been hungry. Saleen and Shiryl ate a little more because they didn't participate in the game.

Lin An called Bedika in, Andre ordered truffle pork chops, cherry blackberry pie and mushroom fish soup on today's menu, Salin asked for salt-baked grouse and a bottle of rose champagne, and Sheryl ordered tuna salad and vegetable sausage.

It wasn't a normal dinner pairing, but Bedika was not surprised to see the quirks of her guests, and nodded her head to go down.

Lin An stopped her, asked for lemon mint tea and blood brandy for herself and John, and then lowered her voice and told her to check the identity of the person who gambled with Andre.

For the latter request, Bedica hesitated for a second, glanced at Lin An's calm face, nodded, and went down after lifting her skirt.

A quarter of an hour later Bedica returned, the smell of the food coming from the silver platters brought by the waiters, and André sat down at the table with a grievous cry, a napkin already wrapped around the neckline.

"Ann, do you want to eat together?" He didn't forget to ask before eating.

"No, John's and I only had a meal before a magic time."

The three of them had already sat down at the table, obviously they had all been aroused by the fragrance, Lin An glanced at it with a smile, shook his head and refused, Andre turned around indifferently to detect the toxicity of the food in front of him one by one.

Bedika and a maid came over with a silver plate, John was a cup of blood and brandy, and the silver plate in front of Lin An was opened, and in addition to the lemon mint tea, there was a small card under the cup that showed a corner.

Lin An glanced at Bedika in front of him, picked up the card, and the maids withdrew.

After taking a sip of tea, Lin An unfolded the card, his eyes were slightly fixed, he folded it casually and put it aside, and re-opened the "One Hundred and Nine Common Uses of the Thirteenth Magic Pattern" on the Gusha pattern paper in his hand.

Andre ordered the most things, and the portions were not small, and before he could finish eating, Shiryl and Salin had finished their meals.

Salin was the first to put down his knife and fork, rinsed his mouth with rose champagne, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and untied the napkin on his chest. With half a glass of rosé champagne in hand, he walked to the semi-circular sofa where Lin An and John were located.

He looked at the book that Lin An and the others were reading, and found that it was a rare and lonely book, so he immediately put down the champagne and walked to the hidden bookshelf.

The shelves are small, with about 100 books placed diagonally, embedded in hidden secret doors with their backs, just at the same height as people standing upright, so that people don't have to bend down to look for books.

Salin saw that almost all of the books on it were hand-copied, and some of them were magic books, most of which he had never even heard of. Moreover, there are more than 20 books with some strange text symbols, which he can't understand at all, and he can't help but see Hunting's joy.

The first thought that came to his mind. It is to transcribe all the books.

At this time, the sound of light footsteps approached, and Salin could hear that it was Lin An's footsteps without looking back, and then the light dimmed, and Lin An also walked to the bookshelf.

"Can you transcribe the books here?" Salin asked in a low voice.

"It's also possible if you like. However, some of the magic books in it have anti-transcription spells, and I am afraid they can only be copied by hand, like this one, this one, and this one......"

Lin An ordered a few copies that she had flipped before, and then said, "I asked Bedicka, and she said that this bookshelf follows the principles of mages. ”

Slender white fingers flipped over a small black obelisk-textured sign on the side of the bookshelf. Salin looked at it, and on it were the elegant flower characters of the ancient magic language:

[Take one and put one.] 】

"Equivalent exchange." Salin knew.

"So I'm hesitating which ones to change," Lin An said with a frown. "I don't have many books in my collection that are of the equivalent of these."

Of course, most of it was because she was reluctant to take them out and exchange them, so she understood very well why there were so many manuscripts here, just like the books left to her by the guards, whether it was for secrecy or their own value, Lin An couldn't take them out and exchange them.

Saleen was smiling. While looking around the bookshelves, I was choosing to be able to exchange those books in my heart. Lin An had already found the book, took it off the shelf, and then handed him the book "On the One Hundred and Nine Common Uses of the Thirteenth Magic Pattern" that she had finished reading before:

"This book is very interesting, you better read it."

Saleen unexpectedly.

This is the first time that Lin An has made such a move, although it is not a private act, but it seems that some kind of Cheng Dù expresses a further friendly relationship, and in fact, Salin does not think that his actions in the past two days can make Lin An let down his guard.

Then, he soon realized that he had misunderstood.

As soon as he received the book, he realized that something was wrong, and opened the title page, where a small folded piece of paper was sandwiched, and Salin opened it, and saw several lines of new ink on it, with the signature of an invitation and the person to whom it was invited, including the name of the Galileo master.

Salin glanced at Lin An beside him with some confusion.

"Jacob." Lin An made a "five" mouth shape.

Salin's heart tightened, and his pupils shrank to the size of pintips.

He took the piece of paper back into his sleeve, nodded slightly, his face was natural in an instant, and he flipped through the text behind the table of contents.

"Some of the ideas in it are very interesting, especially the fifth one, I didn't expect it to be so interesting."

"It's not just fun. In terms of versatility, the fifth usage is no worse than the first, depending only on the user's habits. Maybe people are used to the first one now, but later...... Who knows? Lin An said lightly.

There is no discoloration on Saleen's face.

It seems that although he has only stayed in the imperial capital and the ranks of the honorees for a short time, Salin really has a lot of channels, and even knows about these palace struggles.

Lin An glanced at him, made sure that he was clear about the situation, took the book and left.

André put down his knife and fork just at this moment, wiped the last layer of sauce from the truffle pork chop plate with the pie crust, put it in his mouth and ate it with relish, rinsed his mouth with the mouthwash soup that Winnie brought, got up and left the table, and asked Winnie to clean up the mess with the maid.

A maid opened the window, letting the smell of food that had just filled the cabin waft out.

Bell - bell - bell - bell -

The mechanical floor clock struck ten o'clock, and the row of dolls lined up from behind the box to dance the court dance to a beautiful nocturne, and André observed with great interest the construction of the mechanical clock, until the group of dolls retracted behind the box.

André stood up, and then the door rang again, and Bedicka went to open the door, and Winnie, who had just cleaned up the table, was outside. Behind her, the maid held several trays with velvet cushions, and there was a strange young waiter beside her.

Bedika said a few words to the waiter, and the waiter left, and Bedika let Winnie and the others in.

Winnie asked the maid to put down her things and retreated, then walked up to Lin An, lifted her skirt and said, "Your Excellency, the organizer held a masquerade ball tonight, and people sent the masquerade, are you interested in participating?" ”

Lin An looked at Andre and saw that he who was most likely interested had already walked to the sandalwood bookshelf. Leaning directly on the edge of the bookshelf with a book, he was completely immersed in it, and Winnie didn't raise his head when he spoke. It seems that he didn't hear the words at all.

Lin An didn't want to go to this kind of dance party either.

They were on the top floor where they could see most of the ship's layout, and although the luxurious cabin was located opposite to the front deck, she could not fail to hear the frolic of the lower deck when she came up, and the guests on this ship who participated in the auction were either rich or noble, most of them men. This kind of masquerade dance party before a similar event in a hotel in a previous life is usually used by the attendees to hunt for beauty.

Although it is not clear whether the habits here are similar to modern times, Lin An does not have a good impression of this kind of ball, and she came this time mainly for the task, and by the way, to avoid the limelight of Beelzebub's death, so it is not appropriate to have too many things.

I want to say no. Salin put down the book in his hand and stood up.

"Since it's a dance party held by the organizers, it's not good if none of us show up. I'm going to go down and show up on behalf of everyone, and come back if there's nothing fun. He said and looked at Lin An.

This is also the proper etiquette of the guests, and Winnie and the others are not surprised by this.

But Lin An knew that Salin would not be untargeted.

She looked at him, and then at the masquerades. Xiumei's brows frowned slightly and then relaxed, "It's up to you." Go as you want. ”

Salin smiled and cast a camouflage spell on himself, changing a robe for the usual aristocratic dress.

Then he walked to the side of the stage, picked up a diamond-encrusted black death mask, then took off a gemstone collar pin that was originally pinned to his collar, put it on the black velvet tray casually, hooked his lips and smiled at Lin An, and left with Winnie.

After Saleen left, the suite was quiet again, and Bedika turned on the light of the white fluorite lamp and stepped back gently.

After a while, Lin An put down the book, walked to the table, picked up the gem pin that was casually put down by Salin, played with it, and sure enough, he found a magic pattern representing communication inside the spinel the size of a thumb nail.

She tucked the pin into her sleeve and turned around, where John and Shiryl had already put down their books and looked at her, and Andre next to the bookshelf lowered his face a little, revealing a pair of big piercing amber eyes.

Lin An shrugged, "Salin has some personal matters to do. ”

John and Shiryl lowered their heads as if nothing had happened, and André snorted and covered his face with the book.

Lin An returned to his position and picked up the unfinished book again.

Time passes imperceptibly in reading.

Lin An and Andre were immersed in the book, and had no intention of putting it down, and John and Shiryl went back to their rooms to rest.

They have already formed a habit of always trying to maintain their energy level when they are in an unfamiliar environment, so they consciously take turns off.

Lin An raised his head again, and the clock had already struck two o'clock in the middle of the night.

According to the custom of the Merlin Ball, this time is usually past the high court, and it is the time when people are most sleepy and need to leave, and the pin in Lin An's sleeve is quiet and quiet, without a sound.

Andrei didn't know when he was already sitting on the couch next to him, looking down intently.

Lin An put down the book, pinched the bridge of her nose that was a little tired, and there was immediately movement in the corner of the room, and Bedica walked over lightly and asked her what she needed with her eyes.

Lin An shook his head, looked at the sky outside from the window, stood up, and walked out.

As soon as the door opened, a dewy night breeze blew, and there was a burst of music and laughter from the deck below. Lin An waved away Bedika, who was chased out with a thin cloak, and walked to the end of the aisle, where he found that there was another person here.

And Lin An still didn't notice his existence this time, until he turned his head to look at her.

Lin An was secretly vigilant in his heart.

She had already remembered who the other party was: Remus, the "Lord Remus" in the mouth of the Donkas boss.

He stood upright on the side of the boat, looking sideways at her, dressed differently than during the day.

It is a kind of tuxedo long dress that Perre, who is famous for his romantic fashion, has only become popular in the past two years, and is only popular among fashion trendsetters who pursue openness and boldness.

The style of the dress is very similar to the tuxedo of Lin An's era, which is a four-piece suit of shirt, vest, tuxedo and trousers.

The gown was very demanding on the body line, and the well-cut trousers replaced the tight-fitting leggings that wrapped the lower body. The dark blue matte fabric is simple and unpatterned, and the two rows of white gold sapphire breasts show understated luxury.

He stood there, his figure long and elegant, his narrow waist and broad shoulders wrapped in a tight fabric, showing a subtle romantic sensuality, hidden in a dark corner, overlooking the lights and bustle below.

Lin An was almost stunned.

It was the most aesthetic dress she'd ever seen from that era, and she almost immediately had the urge to ask if he was a fellow countryman—

Then her eyes fell on his feet and she spotted a pair of leather heels that were equally fashionable in the eyes of Perret's young aristocrat.

The impulse in my heart was like being poured down by a basin of ice water. Disappear in an instant.

"Is there something wrong with my shoes?"

The "Lord Remus" also saw his shoes from Lin An's gaze, and he was very keenly aware of the change in Lin An's eyes in a short period of time.

"There's nothing wrong with that, it's me that's wrong." Lin An walked out of disappointment. Reluctantly picked up the broken heart defense.

Although she has hardly reminisced about the life of that era since she met that fellow villager at the Tower of Babel, it does not mean that she can recover so quickly after suffering a sudden shock.

Neither time did he find the other party's storage, Lin An was not very confident in his mental power. The identity and strength of this "Lord Remus" are mysterious, and Lin An intuitively feels that his strength is probably far above her, and even the most powerful spiritual power does not have much advantage in front of the other party.

However, the storage of those high-heeled leather shoes made Lin An sure that the other party was not using some kind of illusion based on the heart of the target of the spell. So since it's not that the other party is wrong, of course it's his own fault - he just happened to be wearing clothes that could cause Lin An's memories.

Remus smiled.

He was a little curious about the look in her eyes.

From enthusiasm to disappointment, the violent emotional changes seemed to ignite her soul. The whole person exudes a thrilling beauty, as if a thick veil is lifted, revealing a thrilling corner, and the leaking breath makes him feel strange and interesting when he is tired of seeing this world.

Originally after meeting twice. His curiosity and appreciation for her beauty had faded a little, but now he suddenly realized it. There are still unfinished surprises on this girl's body-

This kind of mood is not common for him.

Remus was in a good mood savoring the feeling he hadn't seen in a long time.

"I was going to the prom, but when I got to this place, that mood disappeared."

The tone of the flat statement is just an ordinary statement.

Lin An intuitively felt that the purpose of his words was not to explain the reason why he was here, but just a bland statement, and the mood described in the words that rose briefly and then died without a problem seemed to be something he had long been used to.

"If this is not a person who does what he wants to the extreme, then he must have lived a long time." Lin An thought in his heart.

Of course, these two conjectures are not contradictory, and they are completely in line with the identity of this "Lord Remus" in her mind.

Although he reasoned to himself and should be vigilant in front of strange and strong people of unknown origin, Lin An had an intuition that the person in front of him was not a threat to him for the time being.

So, she thought for a moment and said:

"I came out just to blow the wind and see if one of my companions was still at the ball."

If there were social lessons in the world, then these two dialogues would be examples of negative lessons.

But Lord Remus was completely unimpressed, nodded and smiled, "I see, then I can sue you that he has left." ”

The corners of his lips curled gently, and Lin An felt that his smile seemed to have an indescribable taste.

The smell is not anything that is preserved in the attraction of the opposite sex, but a faint, calm, vague feeling—as if with the marks of time, even such a youthful face and trendy outfit cannot hide this faint, turbulent smell of the Ganges of time.

This taste is very light and light, but because of the existence of this taste, this person seems to be far and near, as if it is close at hand, and it seems to be separated from her by a world.

“…… What a perceptive child—"

A sigh with a smile sounded in her ears.

Lin An watched the young man approach, stretched out his hand, his fingers and palm edges gently supported her face, his face slowly approached, and his clear and deep silver-green eyes were opposite to her black-

A kiss.

Like butterfly wings gently landing on the smooth forehead, as if just breathing caress the skin, Lin An didn't feel sleepy, but he couldn't help but close his eyes, but the voice was getting farther and farther away......

Her mind was plunged into darkness—

"Well, as a thank you for making me happy tonight......"

A voice said softly.
