Chapter 8: Black Auctions: Off-Floor

If the entertainment street that once made Crossbell famous in the entertainment industry is a natural combination of classical and romantic style, revealing a strong sense of history and humanity from top to bottom, then the "Mishuram" resort, which has just been released this year, is a new paradise composed of natural and fresh elements. Different from the rooms and corridors of the Millennium Hotel on Entertainment Street that are full of classical feeling from top to bottom, the cloister floor of the resort hotel is fired with fine marble, the classical windows and the facilities inside the corridor are replaced by simple and cheerful modern products, and the whole cloister with white and gray as the main tone gives people a fresh feeling.

Of course...... The price is no different – both can be described in one word: expensive.

"Thankfully, I had the foresight to book a hotel long before I went to the Republic......," complained Heliga, throwing the fine dresses she had just bought from the fashion store on her bed without any sense of cherishing them, "this place is so hot...... It's the first time I've seen a hotel reservation that requires a week in advance, and a temporary room that doesn't even need to be booked by lottery to decide who has a chance to get a ......"

"There's no way around it...... This place is indeed beautiful. Levi looked curiously at the interior of the house, and was amazed, "And after all, it has just started operation, and tourists from all over the world should be dominated by curiosity and novelty...... When the craze passes, the flow of customers and people here will return to normal. ”

"It's a pity, we're not here for a tour......" Helliga went to bed, he didn't like the huge crowd scene, so he was very uncomfortable to be crowded and bumped into in the fashion store when buying clothes just now, "There are so many people, I don't really want to go out...... Stay here until the auction starts. ”

As she spoke, Heliga threw Levi a few large denomination Mira cards.

"What's wrong?" Levi raised an eyebrow.

"Go buy some wine and come back. You want to be the kind of strong. "It seems that there is a strict observance of the laws related to the sale of liquor...... Unlike the shops in the city, you can buy them casually. ”

"At times like this...... You're going to drink? Levi looked at Mira in his hand, and then at the decadent boy lying on the bed, "What does this mean?" ”

"It's not drinking...... You'll know what I'm going to do when you buy it. Haley paused for a moment, Levi probably hadn't seen himself make potions, "I'll show you some otherworldly magic." ”

“…… Be all abroad. Lévy looked at him like a fool, shook his head, and did as he was told.

"Oh yes...... Isn't this ......? Levi had just walked on his front foot, and before he was about to close the door, a familiar figure walked in front of him. He glanced around the room, saw Heliga lying on the bed, and spoke up.

"Waji......?" Hearing the familiar voice, Heiliga sat up, looked at the green-haired man who was dressed very fashionably outside the door, and was a little surprised, "You also come to Mishuram...... Uh, play? ”

"Okay, we both know that the other is here for the auction, so there's no need to hide it." Vaji chuckled, "I don't think I told you yet...... I'm ostensibly a gangster in the Old Town, but I'm actually a part-time cowherd at a bar...... This time, I accompanied a wealthy lady to the auction. By the way, this dress is also sponsored by her......"

"It took almost seven figures for Mira." Helriga looked at the shiny obsidian jewelry in Waji's hand, and was powerless to complain, "But...... Cowherd...... I didn't expect you to have this kind of peculiar part-time job......"

"Huh...... Most of these ladies are strong men who have devoted themselves to their careers, or the eldest lady who has married a good husband - for various reasons, they do not get enough familiarity from family members, so they can only come to us for extra warmth - to put it bluntly, they are spending money on services to fill the spiritual emptiness. "That's why Waji said something dangerous," he said, "for that reason...... With a little trick, you can get a lot of useful information out of their mouths. ”

"It's all about the excuse that it's all for your real job...... "Helliga narrowed her eyes, "but you seem to be enjoying it." ”

"Of course...... You have to do your work well, and you have to do your entertainment. Vaji winked mischievously, "Okay, let's stop talking...... It's time for me to go. ”

"I'll see you then." He wasn't surprised at all by Waji's appearance, but he was a little bit amused by the outfit. Of course, the identity of the cowherd was completely unexpected......

"Ahh Vaji's voice came from outside the door.

"It's okay......" There was an irrepressible doubt in Levy's voice. His footsteps grew closer and closer, eventually appearing in the room.

"The spirits you want......" Levi pulled the two richly packaged bottles out of the bag, frowning.

"What's wrong?" Heliga asked.

"There was a strange guy just now...... Dressed up to look like a cowherd or something...... Bumped me in. "It's not a strange thing...... But I'm deliberately avoiding him......"

Heliga understood - with Levi's skills, it was originally a very simple thing to dodge the accidental impact of ordinary people, but this time it failed, which surprised Levi a little.

"And I vaguely saw him talking to you...... Do you know? Levi said again.

"yes...... Old acquaintances. You've probably heard his name too. Heliga nodded, "He's here for the same reason you call "that master" here......"

"Do you mean ......?" Levi was surprised.

"Well...... "Sacred Book of the Firmament"...... That's what that guy is called. That is, the "ninth." ”

"Hmph...... Indeed, a name that has been heard...... Although there has been no direct intersection. Levi nodded in understanding, "It seems that your relationship with the 'church' is quite close...... Even the name of the Guardian Knight is already known. ”

"Probably that guy owes the church enough favors...... "Heliga still can't imagine how much trouble Nerevain has solved for the church, making the other party's return and support for his intelligence and information seem a little too much, "Ah, but let's not talk about that for now...... Didn't you just ask me what I was going to do when I bought wine? ”

"yes." "Isn't it an excuse to drink?" ”

"In a sense...... It is indeed "drinking". Helriga sneered, "But not directly......

"That's ......"

"Hmm......" Helliga didn't answer Levi immediately, but rummaged through the package he had brought with him when he moved to the hotel - eventually, he pulled out a couple of small bottles with a strange liquid and a few small paper packets.

"Welcome to ...... Helika Khottsweil's Alchemy Potion Lesson. Looking at Levi's blank expression, Helliga said very proudly.
