Trist's fine jewelry store, located on the busiest shopping street in Mishuram, the manager of Trist led everyone to visit the auction venue, the club upstairs of the Delphinium Hotel, luxuriously decorated, independent space, and rich in casual atmosphere, which is suitable for this kind of salon-style auction. And the rooms on this floor outside the grounds, along with the lounge and bar, are all reserved as the accommodation of Reem III and all the staff, which is both grand and defensible. Goethe saw it, expressed his satisfaction, and immediately took over the security work.

That night, Trist was the host, and everyone was in the hotel to receive the wind, and at the reception, a local councillor brought a good news:

"The residence of Speaker Hartmann is in the villa area of Mishuram, and he is very honored to hear that Reem III and all the people from the empire have come to Crossbell, and he specially invites them to take the time to come to the mansion at noon tomorrow for a banquet, and introduce the local pro-imperial political celebrities to everyone."

Everyone was very happy to hear the news, and Duchamp was especially happy, he did not expect that he would get the opportunity to enter the Speaker's mansion so soon, and his heart smiled.

The next morning, just after 10 o'clock, Speaker Hartman's butler came to the Delphinium Hotel and said courteously that the Speaker had sent his own special car to greet the guests.

When they arrived at the residence of Speaker Hartmann, not only Duchamp was salivating, but even Reem III was shocked and praised: "What a noble place, it must have been hundreds of years old." The butler bowed slightly and thanked him: "The Speaker's ancestors were once nobles of the Empire, and long before Crossbell became independent, he was already a local political family. Today, the interior of the castle has been modernized to make it more habitable. ”

The castle was built on the water facing the lake, and to enter the castle was to cross a long plank road, and when you reached the gate, the speaker was already waiting at the door. Duchamp had a close look at the speaker, quite a bit of heroism, and the force value was higher than that of ordinary people, and it was estimated that he had practiced martial arts when he was young.

The Speaker exchanged pleasantries and personally led several guests on a tour of the castle of which he was proud. From the spacious foyer to one side, there is a restaurant and lounge specially set up for parties, and at the end, beyond a small archway, there is a water cloister with a ceiling as high as a third-floor room, and the interplay of plants, water and lights ripples with a dreamy color of blues. Crossing the cloister and walking in, there is a spacious indoor garden.

Rayham III marveled at the symmetrical landscape, the just right flora, the warm lighting, the matte glass windows and the dreamy light that came in, the small wooden arch bridge, the delicate man-made waterfall under the arch bridge, and the rare koi fish under the waterfall.

With each compliment, Speaker Hartmann's face was delighted, and he invited his guests to come mainly to admire this rare indoor garden. Even Duchamp had to curse a few words of 'decadent aristocratic life' in his heart, and his conviction that this place would be turned into a children's playground was strengthened.

Between the two arched bridges, there is a large platform for guests to rest and enjoy the view. Speaker Hartman walked over and invited everyone to take their seats and take a break.

Although Hartmann is the speaker of the Krosbell Autonomous Prefecture, he is extremely familiar with the politics, history, and customs of the empire, and in his speech, he actually has a kind of enthusiasm for the "homeland" of the empire.

Reem III, on the other hand, was familiar with the usual features of these politicians, deliberately avoided these sensitive topics, and constantly praised Cross Bell's economic development and wealth.

After the break, everyone continued along the road and the cloister on the other side, and on the other side was the salon for friends to gather. Walking up the stairs, Duchamp discovered that the castle had five floors, covering a very large area, and the middle of the castle was hollow, and half of it was made into a huge room, which could be used as a theater or auction house. The other half is the indoor garden that I just visited. The second to fourth floors of the surrounding area are filled with guest rooms, study rooms, relaxation rooms, and collection rooms, with excellent views of the lake and mountains on one side and the indoor garden on the other.

The Speaker's room is on the top floor, and this floor also houses famous paintings, antiques and various works of art collected by the owner over the generations.

As a collector, what I am most afraid of is the high and low, and no one knows the goods. And now, while looking at it, Reem III pointed out those rare treasures, complimenting the Speaker's ancestors for their artistic appreciation and taste. Sir Lincoln, a jeweler, and Baron Theresa, a high-achieving art student, were not in vain in their artistic accomplishments. The three of them took turns to cheer, which greatly satisfied the vanity of the speaker.

Duchamp, who walked at the end of the crowd, kept his mind swirling between a few words:

Kidnapping, infiltrating, inducing confessions, and torture, which one is more reliable?

His most difficult problem is that there are no helpers, and there seems to be no actual evidence that can threaten the Speaker.

In the Speaker's castle, there are about ten servants, as well as a butler and four full-time bodyguards, when he usually goes out, he is always accompanied by two bodyguards, he generally only takes his own special car and special yacht, never carries public transportation, every time he appears in public, he is always followed by a large group of parliamentarians and entourage, a big man like him, someone will notice if he disappears for five minutes, let alone knock out such an outrageous idea as he drags away.

Just as the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves, Duchamp heard a sharp prompt, and his heart suddenly beat at an accelerated pace.

This is the sound that the system thinks will only be used when an item of particular importance appears. Generally speaking, in order not to confuse the information and sounds in the player's head with the outside world, the system runs silently in the background all the time, except for certain special and dangerous moments.

"Divine objects detected within 100 meters, location XXXX, XXXX."

Divine items are good things that can be exchanged for ingots in the mall and buy goods in the mall. Duchamp originally only wanted to get a message from Hartmann's mind, but now after hearing this prompt, he couldn't help but be moved by other thoughts. He looked at the coordinates location, which seemed to be the treasure room on the right side of the cloister.

It's an old castle, and it's really in stock!

He silently followed behind the group, taking advantage of this rare opportunity to scan the surrounding security facilities and hidden mechanisms with all his might.

By the time he had finished visiting the castle, and with the constant praise of Reem III and Baron Theresa, the Speaker's vanity had swelled to the limit, and he commanded the meal with great interest.

Suddenly, the door of the dining room opened, and a row of well-trained maids with long legs and short skirts walked in, and the sea and land delicacies came up one after another.

Duchamp looked at the sanctimonious Speaker and the beautiful maid who kept walking back and forth, and suddenly had a not-so-noble idea.

At the dinner table, the Speaker introduced several of his political right-hand men, promising his full support for the Magic Jewel Auction, and the meal was satisfying to the satisfaction of both the guests and the hosts.
