Lin An was still watching the auction below, but he had already changed his posture, leaning on the armrest, propping one hand on the side of his face, and tapping the other hand on his leg, thoughtfully. 「」

Sidney closed the brochure, and she turned her head to look at him, "Is there anything you like?" ”

"Sealing the Demon Water ......"

Sidney's expression was calm, and he couldn't even show hesitation in his tone, "Aren't the organizers worried that what they sell will be used against them?" ”

"Apparently they don't have that concern, or they can fix it." Lin Andao.

"I've never heard of an antidote to the magic water."

"Even if it once thought that the half-step legend died at the hands of ordinary people, in fact, there is no need to be so silent about it - after all, it is just a potion, and what role it can play depends on the person who uses it,"

Lin An smiled and said lightly, "That half-step legend actually died at the hands of his beloved woman, in his defenseless love. Even if you don't have the magic water, you can replace it with sword poison - of course, it's undeniable that people like us don't feel good about losing all their magic power, but do you think that even if we lose our magic power, we will be slaughtered? ”

Sidney shook his head, then nodded his chin again, "I want it." 「」”

Lin An stared at him for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Actually, you don't need to be so roundabout, if you want to know something, you can ask directly." ”

Sidney hesitated, "You don't want it?" ”

"No, actually, I do."

Unexpectedly, Lin An shook his head.

"Because I just got an unfortunate piece of news from a message, and I need one of lots 4 and 19 to verify the truth of the message - you know. As I have just said, this old acquaintance of mine is not of good character, and therefore of little repute in my mind, and it is all the more unfortunate that he is better at lying than the average man. ”

Lin An held his face. "But, I don't want people to know that these two things have fallen into our hands. So I had to exercise again after the auction. ”

Sidney's unfocused eyes flickered:

As a feather shield-level guest, according to the auctioneer's handwriting, their intentions should be quite ambitious, at least enough to be worth the risk of losing a prehistoric relic for them, so the organizer will not let the auction go wrong, and will continue the auction as much as possible. 「」

Then ensure the safety and safety of guests, especially their group of VIP customers. It is very important for the auctioneer, at least even if the organizer knows their identity, they will not betray their information.

That's why Sidney doesn't care much about offending other guests, because as long as the organizers want to maintain the auction, they won't leak the news. Instead, they try to keep all kinds of potential troubles that could involve the auction as much as possible.

So as long as they pay attention to secrecy and keep a low profile, the number 100 can only know one number in the eyes of outsiders.

Since they don't need to guard against outsiders knowing their identities, that is to say, what Lin An really has to guard against is the auction organizer who already knows their identities.

- She didn't want the organizers to know that the Oath Fruit and the Demon Sealing Water had fallen into their hands.

In other words, the information revealed by Lin An's old acquaintance made the auction organizer a potential imaginary enemy for them.

In fact, from the way Lin An's acquaintance secretly transmitted the message before, Sidney had already guessed, and now it is just confirmed.

"What do you need me to do?" He asked.

"Just a little bit of activity." "Even if the information is confirmed to be true or false, for the time being, there is no need to make an immediate decision."

Lin An smiled and said, "You see that my old acquaintance knew about me a long time ago, but he didn't come to the door until today to find out, and this matter is not in a hurry." And in the eyes of an old acquaintance of mine, we are not the protagonists who have to be there—"

She snorted softly and added, "My old acquaintance always has a lot of options, and we may just be alternatives to his plan." ”

Sidney nodded, staring at the people on the auction table below for a while, as if he could see the characteristics that Lin An was talking about from him, and soon slowly withdrew his gaze.

As he spoke, time had passed slowly, and the auction for the Fruit of the Vow had come to an end, and finally it had fallen into the hands of the 199th guest who had previously bid with Sidney.

Lin An and Sidney did not react, they did not know that No. 199 had already targeted them, otherwise they would have sighed at the coincidence and trouble.

Knock knock.

There was a steady knock on the door.

Lin An was taken aback, withdrew the shielding spell, and responded, "Come in." ”

The door opened, and Sidney's maid, Winnie, stood in front of the door, and there were two shadows on the ground behind her, which looked like burly men from the shape of the shadows, but did not show up, but stood on the side of the door, not in front of Lin An and the others. 「」

Winnie lifted her skirt and bowed softly.

"Your Excellency, the third lot you just took has been delivered."

Lin An and the others were not surprised, black market auctions are used to cash transactions, and they will not be settled until the end of the auction like normal auctions, otherwise if someone has any thoughts, then the delay after the settlement happens to give others a chance to plan and ambush.

"Bring it in."

Winnie responded, nodded to the two on the side of the door, then took a tray covered in black velvet and walked in, gently closing the door.

Lin An stood up, took the tray from Winnie's hand, uncovered the black velvet and looked at it, and without touching it, he handed the tray to Sidney.

The negative energy aura on the voodoo doll was the most familiar to Sidney, and he only glanced at it, and then nodded to Lin An.

Of course, Lin An is not unable to distinguish the authenticity of the voodoo doll, but he needs to make a gesture in front of people, seeing that Sidney has verified that it is correct, he smiled slightly, and handed a small leather bag that had been prepared to Winnie, and put two additional rubies the size of rice grains on the tray as a tip for Winnie. 「」

Winnie saw the two rubies, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across her face, she took the tray, bent her knees slightly, and exited the room.

The door closes, and the room regains its calm.

Lin An slowly chanted the incantation, and once again cast the shielding spell and the soundproof enchantment, and two shallow white lights covered every corner of the entire room, and they disappeared in a flash.

Sidney picked up the voodoo doll, and somewhere it moved, the main doll's small red mouth opened and spit out a small pale white crystal.

Sidney pinched the crystal and looked at it, "It's a recording crystal." ”

As he spoke, he handed the crystals to Lin An.

"Hmph, this guy is lurking here in a different face, and there are actually a lot of people to buy."

Saleen himself was on stage, and Winnie had been waiting outside their box for a summons, and it was certainly impossible for the two to manipulate Sidney's impromptu voodoo doll, apparently with Saleen and someone secretly helping backstage.

And what was passed on this time was still in kind, which showed that the person who helped him had more trust than Winnie, who had a heart for him.

As you can imagine, Saleen has been lurking here for a long time, and the penetration range is a little deeper than she imagined.

Lin An thought about it, looked at Sidney, two fingers were slightly forced, the fragile recording crystals were crushed, and Salin's familiar low voice came out, like a lover's whisper:

“…… Ann, I haven't seen you for a long time since I said goodbye last time, and I hope to meet you after the auction to discuss it in detail, if you agree, please tell Winnie. ”

The aftermath slowly faded through the air.

Sidney didn't expect Lin An to crush the recording crystals in front of him like this, and looked at Lin An after listening, "Do you want to go?" ”

Judging from Lin An's previous words and deeds, she had never fully trusted the old acquaintance in her mouth, and Lin An planned to get one of the oath fruits or the magic water, and obviously had no intention of meeting the other party so early.

"Why should you disrupt your own plans in order to accommodate someone else's plans?" Lin An laughed, "What's more, it's not safe here after all, and I don't like to talk about things in an unsafe place." ”

This is the home of the hosts, half of Sarin's, and she doesn't trust either of the two.

After saying that, Lin An withdrew the spell and called Winnie in again.

Winnie saluted before walking in, and although there was no one else behind her, she still closed the door carefully, looking more careful than Lin An, because it was about Saleen.

Lin An looked at Winnie doing things for Saleen so carefully, and felt depressed for a while.

"Your Excellency, are you looking for me?"

"Sue him, if you want to see me, come to me yourself."

Seeing that Winnie seemed to want to say something, Lin An lightly stopped her words, "Don't say anything, you just need to relay my words to him, as for whether he wants to come to see me, what is the difficulty, that's his business-"

She paused, looked at Sidney, who was indifferent and silent on the side, and added: "By the way, it is valid for three days, and after this deadline, it is not ruled out that I may have something to do temporarily." ”

Winnie looked at Sidney's calm face, swallowed what she wanted to say, curtsied, and withdrew.

The door closed, and the spell was cast again, before Sidney asked, "Why did he come looking for him?" ”

He had actually seen that Lin An was actually quite concerned about the content of the news, otherwise with her character, she would not have gone out of her way to find the Oath Fruit and the Sealing Demon Water to verify the authenticity of the news - it was precisely because she attached importance to it that she cared about the truth or falsehood.

"Just look at how important this matter is to his heart, because after this matter is decided, if I want to intervene, I must join forces with him-"

Although Lin An said so, judging from her expression, Sidney could clearly see that if the matter was verified to be true, she would definitely intervene at all-

Lin An didn't know what Sidney was thinking, and continued:

“…… Although it seems that he has been planning for this for a long time, I still have some doubts about his motives, at least to see how much risk he is willing to take for it, otherwise it would be a big no-no to ally with someone with an unknown purpose. ”
