"Miss Sakamoto, can you tell me what is going on?" Ryuichi asked.

He had just been gotten rid of by Dean Joey to protect Sakamoto Toran, although she felt that it was enough to have Alika there, but Yu Li Ryuichi should ask about the whole story.

Even if he had already learned about the specific situation in the mission materials.

"Actually, I don't really know why." Sakamoto Toran's expression darkened when he heard this, and he reached out and stroked the hair next to his ear, revealing a look of memory.

It happened about half a month ago, when Sawakawa Konan had just passed away, and Sakamoto Toran happened to be empty during this time, so he was ready to come back to attend the funeral of this great benevolent man.

But at that time, Sakamoto Toran had just gotten off the airship, and she received a death notice.

Death Notice from the Demon Cave!

"Demon Cave?" Long Yi deliberately frowned, "What kind of organization is that?" ”

Ariga said, "The Demon Cave is a killer organization active in the Kanto and CD regions. As long as they pay a sufficient price, they dare to assassinate whoever they are, and they are the most lawless terrorists! All the killers from the Demon Cave have a ghost name as a code name, and they have a weird and changeable style, and no one knows where the base of this organization is, and all the killers of the Demon Cave are on the Alliance's wanted list. ”

Long Yi sneered, "Could it be that they dare to assassinate the Heavenly King of the Alliance?" ”

Alliance Heavenly Kings, or well-known trainer masters, each of these people is a true elemental level trainer, and they can be called the pinnacle powerhouse among trainers!

Arija glanced at him and said with a smile, "There are more than 3 trainer masters who have died at the hands of the Demon Cave. ”

Ryuichi: "......"

This information was unknown to him in advance, and a chill inexplicably rose in Long Yi's heart, and only then did he understand the danger of this alliance mission.

"That's the card I received." Toran Sakamoto placed a folded pink greeting card on the table.

As soon as the dragon unfolded, the greeting card was painted with a Q-shaped sister with a fan lip, and next to it was written, "At the charity dinner, I came to take your life." ————Snow Maiden Worships"

Snow Girl is one of the more famous Demon Cave Slayers, likes to issue death notices before assassinations, informing the target of the time of assassination, and is good at ice elves and disguises, so far no one knows whether he/she is male or female.

"Don't worry, the Snow Maiden's strength is below average in the Demon Cave, and she won't succeed with me." Arika said as she shook Sakamoto's hand.

At this time, the celebrities of Yoshino City and several nearby cities who had received the invitation had already entered, and these people were basically fine, but their male and female companions were not sure.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Snow Girl kidnapped one of the celebrities, and then disguised himself as him to sneak in.

Long Yi then sat down at the table six people one after another.

One was the eldest son of a wealthy man in the city next door, and an avid suitor of Toran Sakamoto, who was accompanied by a beautiful woman in a red cheongsam.

The other is the son of a local official in Yoshino City, and he is also the suitor of Sakamoto Toran, and he is a mortal enemy of the man just now. However, he came alone, without a female companion with him.

The last three are a family of three, a couple with a little boy, Sawagawa Konan's former housekeeper couple and their son.

Soon, it was time for the auction.

Tonight is a charity auction and a charity dinner.

A waitress in a kimono begins to serve food on a tray, while a middle-aged man in a suit and collar walks onto the stage to officially begin the auction.

Vases, calligraphy and paintings, inkstones, swords, ......

Sawakawa Konan's collection is very varied, some of which are very valuable, and some of which are purely his personal hobbies.

The auction goes on and on, with occasional heightened atmosphere and occasional neglect.

Ryuichi is very unaccustomed to such an environment, but he knows that he has to adapt, this is the unspoken rule of the upper level, you either join it or break it.

Ryuichi obviously doesn't have the ability to break the unspoken rules of this world.

Eat less, listen more, talk less.

He vividly portrays an image of a man who tries to fit in, but is not skilled, which is also very much in line with his grassroots background.

Soon, the auction was halfway through.

"The next auction is one of Mr. Sawakawa's favorite collectibles, a ......," the auctioneer suddenly stopped in the middle of his words, and everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by the anomaly and fell on him.

I saw the auctioneer hold the communicator in his ear with one hand, listen for a moment, and then smile: "I'm sorry to inform you that Mr. Sawakawa's treasured items will be auctioned later." Now for a temporary donation, a scroll from more than 500 years ago painted by an unknown artist! ”

Two beautiful girls in kimonos came to the stage carrying an easel covered with a piece of red silk cloth.

"Look, everyone! "Spring Flowers and Autumn Moon"! The auctioneer was able to tear off the red silk with a brush.

A 70-centimeter-long and 50-centimeter-high painting appears on the easel, showing a woman in a white dress standing in the snow in a snowy hut, holding a bloody heart in her hand.

In front of the hut door, a man knelt on the ground, his face twisted in pain, and a large hole in his chest.

Where is this "Spring Flowers and Autumn Moon Picture", it is clearly a "Snow Girl Killing Picture"!

"This ......" The auctioneer was stunned, and the scene was in an uproar, and those who knew something inside looked at the round table where Sakamoto Toran was.

Long Yi suddenly felt a chill coming from behind him, and before he could look back, Alijia on the opposite side turned her head sharply, and looked at her with a cold look.

Brush!

She held chopsticks in her hand, picked her index finger, and stabbed it with a brush.

Target, Long Yi Throat!

Long Yi hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, but he didn't expect that with a twist of Arijia's hand like a snake, he wrapped around Long Yi's wrist, and then his fingers exerted force, and the chopsticks still attacked.

Long Yi had no choice but to dodge sideways, but there were people sitting on the left and right, and he couldn't dodge, and his face suddenly hurt hotly.

Long Yi touched his cheek, and there was a clear mark, and there was a slight bleeding.

"Miss Tsugami, what do you mean by that?" Long Yiqiang held back his anger and said, anyone who is attacked inexplicably will not be in a good mood.

"I forgot, Snow Girl is proficient in disguise, so naturally anyone can possibly do it." Aliga's voice was gentle and soft, but the meaning it meant made Ryuichi feel a chill.

"You suspect I'm a Snow Maiden?"

"Yes or no, you'll know if you capture it!"

She was already prejudiced and hostile to Long Yi, but when she sensed the murderous aura just now, she even decided that Long Yi was the Snow Maiden.

At this moment, he withdrew his right hand, threw the chopsticks, and lifted the kimono to reveal the wooden knife hidden in it, and pulled the knife in his hand.

Chop!

Alijia is not only the eldest lady of the Rainbow City family and the owner of the Rainbow Gym, she is also a guest teacher at Rainbow University, and she loves flower arrangement, perfume, archery, and kendo.

Long Yi didn't dare to slack off, got up and retreated again and again, the chair fell to the ground, and almost hit the guests sitting at the back table.

While!

The knife knocked over and shattered the dishes on the table, and the people at the same table, Toran Sakamoto, Dean Joy and others retreated one after another, and the people at the table behind Long Yi also avoided one side.

"You also carry a knife?" Alijia saw Mo Yan on Long Yi's waist, revealing a hint of interest, "Draw your sword, let me see your strength!" ”

"Are you provoking the majesty of the Aoki family?" Ryuichi looked at Elijah, holding the scabbard in one hand and the hilt in the other, but he didn't draw his sword.

He really didn't want to fight with Alijia, after all, the opponent was the owner of the Gym of the Alliance, the daughter of a big family, and had a deep background.

The dragon is good to move out of the name of the Aoki family. The reason why he is coming to Yoshino City now is because the Aoki family introduced him to this mission, and Elika's move can be regarded as a provocation by the Aoki family to the Aoki family!

"I can represent the Kagami family, can you represent the Aoki family?" Alijia sneered, raised her foot and kicked the bottom of the table, the table top instantly flipped up, and a large number of wine, food, and dishes smashed towards the dragon.

Long Yi's eyes turned red: "It's too much of a deception!" ”

I can't bear it, I don't have to endure it anymore!

Choke!

He instantly pulled out the knife from the sheath and slashed it up, the invisible aura was vigorous, the wooden table top was split in two, all the wine and food dishes were unloaded to both sides, and the soup all over the ground wet Long Yi's trouser legs and leather shoes.
