The two left the villa together.

At this time, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and the night wind was a little cold.

Paul shrunk his collar and took out his phone: "Leave a call, I'll let you know if I find out here." If you want to enter the black market, I can help you, but don't involve my family. ”

"No problem. Ronan pulled out his phone and exchanged contact information.

He was just for the clues and parchment of the old congregation, and he had little interest in Paul's house.

The two didn't even save saying goodbye and left directly.

The next afternoon, Ronan received a call from Paul.

"The woman ran away and didn't catch it. Also, the black market will open next Friday, and we will contact you at that time. ”

"Okay. ”

There was no extra pleasantries, and he quickly hung up the phone.

Next Friday, Billena will be five days late in the evening of her emotional investigation at the clubhouse.

In this timeline, Ronan has not made contact with her, and is not ready to do so.

The items that should have been obtained have been obtained, and these gods of the old guild are very alert, and their tone is extremely strict, and it is difficult to set up information.

I simply didn't take this line and spent these two weeks leisurely.

Moreover, without Ronan's involvement, Lena's success rate in finding a couple to participate in an emotional survey will definitely be reduced.

It's always good to be able to weaken the strength of the old guild in disguise.

As if remembering something, Ronan dialed Paul's phone again.

"Phew~ha~ what's the matter?" Paul gasped, not knowing what he was doing.

"My identity, I hope you don't reveal it to anyone else. ”

"I know, you're not going to entertain me just for this, are you?" said Paul's faint snapping of slippers.

Ronan heard the clue and smiled slightly: "Are you going to fight with some scorpion next week?"

"No, hiss~ don't clip!!" After a series of strange sounds, Paul's tone was much more normal: "You also have to take care of this?"

"This information, just for your benefit to help me" Ronan's tone paused: "They have an ambush, don't go." ”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

He didn't want Paul to get hurt and get hurt on the black market.

What Ronan didn't know was that the call to remind Paul was critical.

Using his local connections in New York, Paul did his research.

The curator of the British Embassy does have a daughter.

As for Ronan's identity information, he couldn't find it.

His early warning call also completely dispelled Paul's doubts.

For the next two weeks, Ronan had nothing to do.

The heroine who has already been raided cannot repeat the raider.

At present, there are two boxes in the [Strategy Manual], which are occupied by Catherine Oliver of C+ level and Angela Lena of D+ level, respectively, and it is impossible to find a low-level heroine to develop.

Except that when Britney left New York, the two had a dinner to sublimate the revolutionary friendship.

The rest of the time, he spent his time in a hotel or in the library, studying Nerves and parchment.

......

Two weeks later, on Friday, Paul contacted Ronan.

The two met on Pickett Street and took a taxi to the Brookon Bridge in Manhattan's XC district.

This time, Paul didn't even have any men with him.

The two took a boat on the pier under the bridge and came to an island on the border between Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Gavernas Island.

Looking northeast from the speedboat is the Statue of Liberty, a landmark in the United States.

It's less than three nautical miles away.

The island of Gaphnas, which is also the closest to the statue of the goddess.

The propeller at the stern of the boat roared abruptly, and the two quickly arrived at Gaphnas Island and landed at the ferry terminal.

The pier is separated by makeshift cargo boxes, and after Ronan enters, there are special personnel to verify his identity and search his body to check whether he is carrying contraband.

After checking that everything was correct, the staff handed him a light gray mask and robe.

Ronan was still looking at the mask in his hand, Paul finished checking it, and skillfully put on the mask: "Why are you stunned, put it on." ”

On the black market, you trade things that don't see the light.

Wearing a mask and a robe can prevent people from being recognized by their appearance and clothing, and protect the privacy and security of the auctioneer.

A string of three digits is printed on the back of the robe, which is also convenient for on-site staff to manage.

Ronan wore a 666 and Paul wore a 667.

Speaking of six, I thought of ...... Well, two flowers, two flowers.

"Tsk, that's unlucky. Paul glanced at the number behind Ronan's robe and said sarcastically.

666, in Western culture, there is no homonym for six or six shuns.

This is the number represented by Satan the Devil, symbolizing the ominous.

Ronan didn't mind the number, he put on his mask and looked around as he walked.

There was a large room near the checkpoint, and many bodyguards were invited inside, and they were not allowed to enter.

No wonder Paul doesn't bring other escorts, it seems that he has participated in the black market before.

Helicopters are constantly flying in the sky, stopping a kilometer or two ahead, where there should also be a checkpoint.

After passing through a flower garden of five-pointed stars, the two came to the trading place of the black market.

Fort Jay.

As far as the eye can see, there are people wearing light gray masks and robes everywhere, and it is difficult to identify them.

Entering the fort, carved beams and painted buildings, dome relief, is a classical European decoration.

The seating setup resembles that of an opera house and can accommodate thousands of people.

This kind of auction is not a movie, and in the selection of seats, the more advanced the better.

Many seats in the front row were filled, and the two chose a compromise position to sit down.

People in robes and masks entered one after another, and they were silent to each other.

There were all prominent figures from New York City and the city of Jersey next door, and even if they covered their bodies and appearances, some of them would be recognized when they spoke.

After waiting for about half an hour, the place that can accommodate one or two thousand is almost full.

As the curtain on the stage was lifted, the black market trade officially began!

The auctioneer walked up to the podium, in his fifties, and was the only one on the scene who did not wear a mask.

"Welcome to this issue of the Black Market, I am Charles, a state-registered auctioneer, and my registration certificate number is XXXXXX. I am very honored that I will be hosting today's auction for you, and I hope to bring you the harvest you wish. ”

(More than 400 words of the auctioneer's polite opening remarks are omitted here)

"Now I invite the first exhibit to appear, Master Andy's painting "Two Cats", the reserve price is 10 million, and the price increase is 1 million, and the auction will start!"

Ronan has shown little interest in the auction of such works of art.

Before the crossing, there was an auctioneer next door to him, Uncle Li, who was in charge of the auction of some jewelry and jade.

Once he drank too much and exposed some insiders.

Whether it is jewelry, jade, or artwork, there will be a phenomenon of 'high-priced games'.

To put it simply, the jewelry and jade auction is fine.

But the unsuccessful auction of a work of art is equivalent to something that no one wants, which is something that cannot be tolerated in the art world.

In order to increase the value of the artwork, the seller usually hires one or more pallets to inflate the price.

If the bid exceeds the seller's expectations, let the seller sell it without adding money.

If the bid is lower than the seller's expectation, the offer will be made to buy.

In other words, the seller will take a picture of his exhibits.

Regardless of who the final buyer is, the auction house will charge a commission normally according to the rules.

The seller would rather lose a handling fee than let the exhibits go unsold and break the game.

The seller who holds the art wants to throw this hot potato to the next seller by doing this game.

And the next seller will not be pierced, and will continue to raise the price to the next victim.

Because of this, the value of artworks and paintings has often soared, and even been coaxed to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of sky-high prices.

Most of the follow-up exhibits are invisible, such as jewelry unearthed from royal tombs.

By the time it was time for the thirteenth collection, what Ronan wanted finally appeared.

"Now for the next exhibit, which is three small rolls of parchment that are said to contain God's secrets. The exhibits are slightly damaged, and the starting price is 5 million, with an increase of 500,000 yuan. ”

Three?

It's sent!

Ronan's eyes widened, he thought it was just one.

No wonder the old ones are so enthusiastic, this parchment must be a good thing.

Two rows to his right, a woman held up a sign.

"Five and a half million!"

Ronan licked her lips, the woman wearing a mask and a robe.

Since there is no buckle in the front, the proud D is exposed, and her identity is also exposed.

Angela Lena.

Look at the chest to recognize the woman, new skills, get!
