This clue became the last straw that crushed Lei Zhen, his eyes immediately widened, he stood up suddenly, grabbed Chu Ge's shoulder excitedly and asked:

"Really? Is there really a way to make Night Night a human being? ”

Chu Ge glanced at Lei Zhen deeply and said:

"Yes, but it's hard." After saying that, he kept silent and did not explain why.

Seeing Chu Ge's reaction, Lei Zhen came back to his senses from the excitement and asked hesitantly:

"Is that one of the core secrets of the Ministry of Machinery? Do I have to be the head of the armament department to see me? ”

Chu Ge shook his head and said:

"It's true that the core is secret, but even the current head of the armament department hasn't found out about these things, otherwise do you think they will allow you to run around with you night and night?"

"You don't necessarily need to be a member of the Armament Department to get access to that secret, as long as you have a high enough status, even the Enforcement Department can meddle in that place...... As for the specific level of authority, it can probably be accessed to the position of deputy minister. ”

Regarding Chu Ge's words, Lei Zhen almost blurted out a sentence of "how do you know", but remembering that the other party helped Ye Ye to unlock the rune lock and go deep into the ice prison, he could only continue to attribute it to the other party's mystery, so he had to nod slowly in thought.

"It seems that it will not work if I don't go back this time, for the sake of the night, I will do my best."

Thinking that this time not only did he not break away from Barka, but had to be entangled with him more closely, Lei Zhen's head was a little swollen.

After seeing that he had finally persuaded the other party, Chu Ge also showed a smile and said:

"Don't worry, the head of the executive department has always trusted you, and this time your strength has increased greatly, and your authority should usher in a promotion, if you have the opportunity in the future, I will help you."

Lei Zhen thought for a moment and asked distressedly:

"But now that the rune lock on Yeye's body has been broken, once he goes back and is checked, it will expose the true situation of Yeye."

Chu Ge shrugged helplessly and said:

"I'll leave this to you, but I can give you a suggestion, there's a researcher in the Ministry named Scalley, who is a good guy to trust, and he should be able to solve this problem."

"Is that so......" Regarding Chu Ge's answer, Lei Zhen had no choice but to accept it like this.

"Then this matter is settled, as for the situation of the frozen prison......"

Chu Ge tapped his index finger phalanx and said his thoughts:

"Just tell the head of the executive department everything you saw there."

Lei Zhen was stunned, he thought that Chu Ge would ask him to keep it a secret, but he didn't expect to let him do so, so he asked very strangely:

"Why? Is it any good for you to do so? ”

Chu Ge shook his head and said:

"It's not good for me, but for you, discovering such a big secret, even Barka will give you a good note!"

"Especially if your companions have lost their lives, you can still honestly report such a big secret, Barka will definitely affirm your loyalty, which will be of great help to you in the future!"

For Chu Ge's kindness, Lei Zhen was a little uneasy, and asked hesitantly:

"What about you? Isn't that place important to you? ”

Chu Ge smiled and shook his head, and said:

"Although there are many crises in there, the precious treasures have been taken away, and I won't be able to touch the rest for a year and a half, so it's better to invest in you."

In the frozen prison, what is still valuable to Chu Ge is the elven treasure chest guarded by the dragon next to the throne.

If you want to get to that place and take out the treasure, you must resist the law of ice through the guards of the giant clan, and then defeat the imprisoned dragon, it is impossible to do this without the combat power of the two lower legends, if Barka is really willing to spend this kind of money, why not give the treasure to them?

Lei Zhen imagined the situation after he went back a little, whether it was the situation in the ice prison or the news of Magnus's death, it was enough to cause a storm in the executive department, if he grasped it well, he would not be able to replace Magnus's position!

"Thanks!" Lei Zhen replied heavily, no matter what the other party was thinking, but this approach would definitely be beneficial to himself.

After talking about this matter, Chu Ge asked Lei Zhen again:

"What is your specific mission in Midgar this time? Did the attack on the City Lord's Mansion have anything to do with you? ”

Lei Zhen didn't think much about this, and immediately replied:

"We did the attack, and the Karakuri puppets of Night Night and Magnus were responsible for dragging down the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, while the puppets of the other two were responsible for disposing of the goblin."

"There are two main missions assigned to us by the Executive Department this time, one of which is to kill the goblin without causing any unnecessary casualties, and the other mission is actually only received by the other three people, and I didn't get the news in advance......

Chu Ge immediately asked, "Is it about the train getting out of control?" ”

Lei Zhen nodded and replied, "In addition to the magic train we were on, there were two other trains that had accidents, but fortunately due to the terrain, the casualties were not serious. ”

Chu Ge closed his eyes and thought quietly for a moment, then looked at Lei Zhen and asked:

"Is that goblin slain a member of the Barka Armament? And you killed it of your own free will! ”

Lei Zhen was no longer surprised by Chu Ge's words, he just nodded and said:

"Although the goblin is ostensibly a peacemaker, even if he is not of high rank in the council, he has a high reputation among the councilors, and has even made a lot of efforts to build peace between the Federation and the Empire, but in fact his hidden identity is a member of the Ministry of Weapons!"

"This mission is his last mission: as an outstanding representative of the peace faction, he was assassinated by the Empire during his secret visit and died!"

Originally, his trip was arranged extremely secretively, and almost no one knew about it except for the peaceful cores of both sides! If he wasn't a member of the Ministry of Machinery, even Barka would have concealed it, so under this premise, Barka's suspicion of its death would be reduced to zero, otherwise, there would be a diplomatic crisis on the Empire's side! ”

"Immediately after its death, Barka's spies spread the word, causing public opinion that the 'heroes' of the empire had killed the 'aliens' of the Federation, causing the common people to fall into a false sense of pride, making them even more hostile and contemptuous of the Federation!"

"As an introduced means of foreign transportation, the magic train has indeed brought a lot of convenience to the empire, but the doubts about the safety of the magic train have not been completely eliminated from the hearts of the masses, and this time it is also one of Balka's plans to cause the train to go out of control, so that the civilians will lose their only trust in the creation of the goblins, and further arouse the indignation of the masses - although we have stopped it, most of Balka's purpose has been achieved!"

"In this case, it is very likely that some neutral members of the Gran Council will directly fall to Barka's side and agree to the war, and the original pro-peace councillors should also change their attitudes after the goblin was brutally killed, at least their 'goodwill' has been rejected by Alkaya with actions!"

"All of this is actually a conspiracy by Barka, and although I am a supernumerary member of the Enforcement Department, they are not worried that I will leak secrets because of the relationship of Night and Night as a threat."

"Even though I won't do any killing on this mission, what's the difference between that and massacre? If this continues, one day the two forces will rekindle the flames of war, and I can't stop it at all, that's why I want to leave Balka! ”

After finishing speaking, Lei Zhen exhaled heavily, although he only played a trivial role in this plan, only to delay the guards, but ......

Knowing the result of the success of the other party's plan, but he was powerless to resist, the pressure in his heart was self-evident!

Chu Ge nodded, although he knew that Barka had been deliberately starting a war, but he didn't expect that they had already started preparing appetizers at this time!

He got up from his chair, patted Lei Zhen on the shoulder and prepared to leave, and said:

"Last but not least, remember to tell a lie when you go back to report the situation, saying that you were attacked while escaping from the Ice Prison, and that the person who attacked you is unknown, but there is a conspicuous scar on the left side of your cheek, and you were able to escape because of the outbreak of the night."

Although he knew that it was not appropriate to do this, Lei Zhen still asked:

"Is there any reason?"

Chu Ge didn't answer this question, but just said as he closed the door:

"If you have the chance, take the source of that map out of the minister's mouth." After saying that, he left the room.

Lei Zhen, on the other hand, leaned quietly on the bed, and only sighed after a long while, and said:

"Gain power from Barka? I'm afraid that's what Ino is really for. ”

Then he turned his head to look at the worried night on his face, and said with a wry smile:

"In order for you to truly transform into a human, you have to give it a try, what a proposal you can't refuse."

********

After leaving the hotel, it was already close to the afternoon, and although the auction was held in the evening, the negotiation of the Karakuri puppets was bound to take some time, so Chu Ge found a place to quickly disguise himself, and then rushed towards the center of Midgarh City.

On the way there, Chu Ge was surprised to find that the closer he got to the auction venue, the higher the prices of the surrounding inns became, and many of them even hung signs that were full.

Originally, the city center of Midgar was extremely prosperous, and at night it was also a fire tree and a silver flower, and the hotel industry was definitely very developed, but why did this situation still occur?

If there is no other special reason, it can only be attributed to the huge appeal of the Midgarh auction.

"Will there be such a big market for this auction? It seems that I underestimated others. ”

It was not too late to make amends, and Chu Ge immediately launched a money offensive to inquire about the surrounding innkeepers.

"How to put it, although Midgar's auction is claimed to be an annual event, because there was a serious quality problem in that auction four years ago, which caused the credibility of the auction to collapse, so the lord of the city personally ordered rectification, in addition to a large fine, and also ordered the auction house to suspend business for three years, and it was not until this year that it restarted."

"Because of the long interval, the auction house has a lot of good things in its hands this time, it is said that even legendary-level items will be put up for auction, many powerful buyers have already obtained the list of some auction items in advance, and some rich people from afar have stayed here early, so the surrounding hotels will be in short supply."

After listening to the innkeeper's words, Chu Ge's eyebrows couldn't help but pick, even legendary-level items can be taken out for auction, it seems that the energy of this auction house is not small, and it can already catch up with those large-scale auctions in the royal capital.

The innkeeper continued:

"The auction did officially start today, but the heat has actually been maintained for several days, in addition to the auction house's own accumulation of goods, there are also many people who come to sell the goods, it is estimated that the appraisers have been busy in the past few days, and some of the down-and-out nobles have even taken out their own high-level meditation methods, it is said that the ancestor of that nobleman is one of the legends who once followed Isis the Great!"

"Such an exaggerated ......" Chu Ge raised his eyebrows again, originally he was worried that his goods were too rare for the other party to recognize, but now it seems that he has to consider whether his Karakuri puppet is qualified enough to pinch the other party.

But no matter what, for this batch of Karakuri dolls, the price in his heart is at least a dark gold equipment, and it can only be high and not low, if it can't be traded, he will wait until he goes to the king's capital.

It is worth mentioning that Petra's envelope does not contain anything other than the seemingly coercive invitation to the auction, and the so-called "thank you letter" seems to refer to the invitation itself.

However, Chu Ge didn't plan to use this invitation, he was going to directly show the thorn flower badge as a prestige, not to mention letting the other party directly offer a high price to buy it, at least it could make the other party's claws of lowering the price a little more restrained! (Of course, I am also worried that the invitation letter may reveal my real identity)

Although his aura is only of the first order, the cloak given by Eddie can last for forty-eight hours every time he activates the active skill, and now it has more than a full day of effective time, plus he has already disguised himself, so he is not worried about the other party seeing his virtual reality.

At the beginning, when he explained his intention to the auctioneer, the girl with a sweet smile immediately pointed to the crowd in the distance, saying that the items of unknown value should be slowly queued up for identification.

Chu Ge looked at the length of the team, and estimated that even if the auction was over, he was afraid that he would not be able to take his turn, so he directly took out the Thorn Flower Badge.

The girl's face suddenly stiffened, and with an attitude of believing it or not, she immediately welcomed Chu Ge in, asked him to wait in the VIP room, and then trotted forward to inform her boss.

The name of the auction house is Sylvia, which is exactly the same as the name of the previous pope. I don't know if it's because of the reorganized relationship, he has done a pretty good job in terms of reception service, at least Chu Ge won't feel uncomfortable when he waits in this VIP room, and the high-end incense that burns is also refreshing.

Within a few minutes, the door of the VIP room was pushed open, and the person who came was a mature man of forty-one and twelve, neatly and meticulously groomed, and after coming in, he did not immediately start talking about the details of the transaction, but said to Chu Ge with a smile:

"Hello guest, I'm Bonnard, the senior steward of Sylvia Auction House, and I'm qualified to handle any item valued at less than 20,000 gold coins, but before that, can you let us see your badge again?"

In order to occupy an advantageous position in the next negotiations, Chu Ge was ready to put pressure on the other party as soon as he came up, after all, his identity was not visible, so he naturally had no intention of cooperating with the other party for a long time to negotiate.

He sneered and said, "There has never been a person who dares to pretend in seven hundred years!" Are you questioning the authority of Isis?! ”

Bonnard just smiled slightly, he was able to be the senior steward of the auction house, he was also a person who had seen strong winds and waves, leaned forward and replied calmly:

"Although I am just an ordinary businessman, it is also my long-cherished wish to see the glory of the royal family, and it will be an honor for the entire auction house to be able to meet the Order of the Thorn Flower here!"

Regarding Bonnard's attitude, Chu Ge nodded slightly, as if he enjoyed the other party's flattery, but he said:

"Since you say you're a businessman, I'll talk to you in a businessman's way. It is not difficult to realize your long-cherished wish, but in order to show your sincerity, after this transaction is negotiated, I ask for a 10% increase in the selling price! ”

"Even so, do you want to pay homage to the glory of the royal family?!"

After finishing speaking, he stared at Bonnard coldly, as if the other party dared to say a word, he would be charged with blasphemy against the imperial power!

Bonnard's eyes narrowed slightly, his smile became even brighter, and he replied without thinking in the tone of a businessman:

"If it's worth the money, what's the point if it's a 10% increase?"

"Of course, I hope that under the witness of the imperial power, we will be able to carry out this transaction completely in the manner of businessmen!"
