How is this possible? This was the first reaction in the hearts of everyone present.

But then, several people reacted differently. Lloyd and the others naturally didn't believe such nonsense, and after being stunned for a while, they glared back angrily and looked at Joachim's indifferent eyes. And Joshua and Estier, who had experienced Liber's mutation, were not unprepared for such an outcome. The reason is simple: the crystallization of those ancient civilizations on the "floating city", they have already witnessed with their own eyes.

As for Helriga...... He had already believed Joachim's words. There is no need for the latter to lie at such times on this issue. At this moment, Joachim's mentality should be similar to that of Wiseman at that time, in a state of basically not vomiting or being unhappy.

"Hehe, you don't have to be so surprised, right?" Joachim's face revealed a condescending arrogance, "Even if it can't be achieved with modern technology, it is not impossible with ancient technology. Five hundred years ago, the group that studied ancient alchemy chose this place to conduct their research. This altar was built according to their technique. ”

"The ancient alchemy group that built the Tower of the Stars?" Joshua muttered to himself, "I didn't expect to be connected here." ”

"Sure enough...... This kind of ancient heritage sites in various places are all interconnected. "In Liber, the Tower of Four Wheels is used to seal the Ring of Radiance with four arms; In Crossbell, both the Tower and the Ancient Battlefield are linked to the ancient Alchemist Collective. It seems that when you return to the empire in the future, you will have to pay attention to similar things yourself.

"Hmph, that's right. No one but us knew of Kia-sama's existence. Joachim said triumphantly, "That's just the way it is." ”

"That ancient group of alchemists 'manufactured' Kia, and then the 'Order' to which you belong targeted her, didn't it?" Heliga asked.

"yes...... Any questions? ”

"Is there something wrong with your brain? You could have avoided these complications. Heiliga was puzzled, "Letting Qiya appear at the auction is already a great risk of exposure...... Or have you actually commissioned someone there to "buy" the delicate doll for you, and then transfer it safely to yours through his hand...... As a result, I didn't expect to be cut off by Lloyd? ”

This is very critical intelligence. If Joachim could reveal a little bit of the news at that time—

"Hmm......" Joachim cupped his forehead in pain, and then his expression fell into a little sluggish - because.

Because, in his mind, there is no relevant memory at all.

"Was it an accident? It was an accident. Heliga's tone became aggressive, "It's not your intention to put Kia in the hands of someone who isn't yours at all!" ”

"What do you mean?" Lloyd asked eagerly, puzzled. It's not because the matter is big, but because this matter seems to be related to Qiya's life experience.

"I looked into it later...... The batch of goods, including Qiya, was originally a delicate puppet from Rozanbeck's workshop...... But long before the auction began, the dolls had already been approached by a huge financier and demanded them. Because the other party has too much energy, even Harutman, the organizer of the auction, is not easy to say...... In the end, the agreement was to sell the real dolls privately to the financier, and replace the products that were originally used in the auction with counterfeit products from unknown sources - unexpectedly, Qiya was mixed in this batch of "fakes". ”

"Who's that rich buyer?" Lloyd pressed eagerly, and he immediately understood what Heliga's discovery meant—it meant that perhaps there was something else that Joachim didn't know, and in that case, there might be a turn for the better in Kia's past.

"I don't know...... However, I watched the release of "Rubacher". The dolls were purchased privately, and the buyers paid a total of more than 200 million metres, and they were not paid in long-term installments. "And according to the intelligence, the highest price in the history of the Rozanbaker workshop at auction is only five million meters. And the batch of dolls that were booked in advance were only about a dozen in total. "There is another piece of information that Heliga is hiding - according to Ling's casual conversation, the dolls that were transported to the auction have also been privately estimated by Master Yogurus. According to him, being able to surpass 60 million mira means great success.

"That's a market price that's far more than it's worth." Ellie spotted the blind spot, "If that financier is rich enough to pay 200 million mira directly to take all the dolls...... So even if the puppet appears at auction, it is impossible for anyone to have the financial resources and persistence to compete with him...... He could have taken all the dolls for much less than what he paid. ”

"yes...... That's the problem. I've always felt that something wasn't right...... In doing so, it was as if someone was deliberately trying to replace Kia at auction. I was the first to suspect the Black Moon, but it doesn't look like they're going to spend that much money on bringing down Rubacher - they have no rivals, but they've always been measured and cautious. Later, I wondered if it was Lubacher who directed and acted himself, but you didn't find any clues when you looked at the results of the ledger. As he spoke, Heliga looked at Joachim, whose expression was still glazed, "So, my conclusion is that it is probably behind this...... There is also a real mastermind behind it. Joachim, even if it were you...... and your "Order" are just pawns of this person. ”

"I ...... No...... I ......," Joachim said incoherently, his lips trembling, "it can't be...... The Son...... Be...... It's my ......."

"It's just that you think she belongs to you...... And actually, how did she stay here more than you expected, and why, and why did she show up at auction...... You don't know anything at all. Heiliga said mercilessly, "You're just a giant pawn." ”

The people of the "......" Support Section, along with Esther and Joshua, did not speak, but looked at Joachim with a slightly sympathetic gaze.

"I know you're going to do anything for Kia...... So I expected that after an unsuccessful attempt to control the garrison, you would use the money you got from Yanistri to recruit troops...... So those two hunting regiments came. Unfortunately, the garrison and the police were prepared, and the guerrillas were assisted...... Your plan has fallen through. Now you are just a loner here, and there are only a few so-called "helpers" left besides you...... The remnants of the mafia that you manipulate. ”

As he spoke, Heliga pulled out the "chill crack" - and looked at Joachim again with murderous eyes in his eyes.

"And...... Coincidentally, aside from the fact that you are the organizer of the Order's experimental data, which makes me angry, your dying throes ...... Give me another reason to slap you. ”

Taste this anger.
