Chapter 11: Black Auction: Mutation
"Looks like someone was eyeing us just now?" Looking diagonally across the hall, at the empty table legs, Heliga couldn't help but frown.
"Isn't it strange......" Levi didn't feel anything, but he wasn't worried about it, "the two of us, we didn't try to please that Harutman like they did, and we wore strange masks to stay away from the crowd...... It's normal to be looked at once or twice. β
"yes...... But I always felt that something was wrong just now...... "Since merging the power of the Dragonborn, Heliga has a natural sensitivity to peeking with special meanings - just as even Silver, one of the top assassins in the Republic, could not escape Haliga's eyes that day. However, this time, the opponent was able to withdraw and blend in with the crowd before he was discovered, and it seems that his means are likely to be superior to "silver"?
But even then, Heliga felt that she had nothing to worry about. He was more curious about Levi's expression than he was about it.
"This auction is not as calm as it seems......" Levi narrowed his eyes, everything around the venue just now had been fully seen by him, "The red-haired clerk who once appeared with the "Iron Prime Minister", and the "Feiyan Hong'er" of the "Taidouliu" seem to be acting sneakily, probably because there is some secret agreement between the two powers that needs to be negotiated......"
"yes...... In addition, the participants in this "auction" are...... Speaker Harutman, who calls for wind and rain in the Crossbell area; The new force of the Crossbell Police Department, the Special Service Support Section...... "Rubacher", who has made great achievements in just a few months, naturally needless to say, I don't believe that "Black Moon" has no involvement of their own forces except for currying favor with me and giving me an invitation from nowhereβplus the intelligence agencies of the two major powers, and other people who may be hiding in the shadows......" Helliga counted the people who had already appeared in the meeting room word by word, and there was no doubt that the drunkard did not mean to drink.
"Compared to this, your old friends seem to be in a hurry to get into action right now." Levi pointed, covertly, in a certain direction on the periphery of the venueβLloyd and Ellie, who had been dressed up in a purpose, seemed to be talking there. Not far away, a blonde woman with a strange double ponytail was slowly leaving the two of them, presumably an acquaintance of one of the two of them.
"It's them......" Thinking of Lloyd and the others' unremitting pursuit of "Rubacher", as well as their current seemingly sneaky mode of action, Heiliga thought that they must have discovered something, "Let's go, go and see." β

"Whew...... It was so dangerous just now. Thanks to Miss Mariabel for helping us out......" Lloyd beat his chest and his heart pounded - he and Ellie were almost recognized by the keen "Killing Bear" Garcia, but Mariabel herself showed up and helped them out. It turned out that "Rubacher" had been sending invitations to the "IBC" for the past few years, but the other party politely declined every time, and finally agreed to the invitation to participate in it once. The power of the Kurlois family behind Maria Bell in the entire autonomous state is also very large, and even Harutman does not dare to snub it. Therefore, when Mariabel suggested that she was tired and needed to prepare a room to rest, Garcia and the others had to accompany her.
"It's not surprising...... After all, a considerable part of the amusement park in "Mishuram" was built by the "IBC...... In this sense, Speaker Harutman and the "IBC" have some kind of fate. Haley nodded approvingly, "But then again, you two are pretty bold." β
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger...... Anyway, I got the consent of the section chief...... And he said he would pick us up with support. Lloyd nodded, and although he was usually meticulous, he was unambiguous when it was time to take the risk, "Speaking of which...... Why did you come in with a strange mask...... And ...... is this next to you? β
"Because I don't want too many people to see me here...... Especially, I've seen some guys wandering around this room. "As for the ...... beside me," said meaningfully. I guess I hired a helper. β
"I can see that he is a very powerful master." Lloyd looked Levi up and down and said, "What is your purpose?" β
"I don't think there's anything of interest at the moment...... "but I saw that something was wrong with you, so I came here to pick it up...... Speaking of which, the auction itself looks like it's about to start. β
"Oh yes...... You're here. At this moment, Waji, dressed in a leisurely outfit, walked up to the two of them alone, "And, it seems that I have met other acquaintances." β
"Why are you alone?" Lloyd asked curiously, as soon as the two entered the door just now, they saw that the noble lady accompanied by Waji was arguing with a middle-aged man in a suit, and Waji was also involved in the incident with a helpless expression.
"Huh...... Husband and wife, bedside quarrel at the end of the bed and ...... That's probably how it feels. In short, I can be regarded as a complete merit, and I don't need to be a chaperone anymore......"
"I don't see it, Comrade Waji is still a cowherd who maintains a high sense of morality......" Hailiga couldn't help but tease, although he knew that Waji was not a cowherd for money, mostly for fun, and to get some useful information and opportunities from those powerful women - for example, if he was not accompanied by the banker's wife this time, he would not have been able to enter the auction normally - but in the face of this opportunity, it was still fun to joke.
"yes...... I don't know why, although Mr. Waji looks a little nonchalant on the surface, but in fact he unexpectedly gives people a very reliable feeling......" Ellie nodded in agreement, "But Mr. Waji didn't enjoy the auction very much, so he came to the middle of nowhere to find us...... Is there something going on? β
"Hmm......" Watty looked at Hyliga and Levy, then at Ellie and Lloyd, and after confirming that there was no one around, he said mysteriously, "Actually, I saw a few Warcraft hounds asleep in the courtyard below......
"You're talking about the military dogs?" Lloyd's face changed dramatically, and when he received an affirmative answer, he reacted immediately.
"Two, I'll miss you for a while......"
