After the auction ended, many people gathered around Martin, and more people around Donner. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It wasn't until Donner said that he had decided to hand over the silence circle to the exclusive agent of the St. Petersburg auction house that the crowd all flocked to Martin.

Seeing that the scene was quite chaotic, Donner was not in a hurry to hand over the few beast cores he had just photographed, but quietly left through the side door.

On the carriage back to the estate, Shaida was still amazed at the high prices of the two paintings that had just been sold.

Of course, she didn't say a word about the bet.

"Do you know the person who bought the Elf Maiden's Gaze?" Donner asked with a smile.

"I don't know ......" Shaida shook her head, "Who is he?"

"You'll get to know his ...... soon"

Donner replied and closed his eyes. Xia Ida was puzzled, and could only hold it in her heart.

......

That night, Martin came to visit with a few beast cores and hundreds of amethysts from Donner's sale of his paintings.

"Young Master John, the two paintings add up to six hundred and eighty-four amethysts, minus the seventy-one amethysts you bought these beast cores, a total of six hundred and thirteen amethysts, please count them......"

Martin said as he shoved a large bag of amethyst in front of Donner.

"Oh, don't you charge commission?" asked Donner, not in a hurry, but with a smile.

"As a rule, in addition to commissions, there are also appraisal fees and storage fees...... However, Master John is so cheerful, we are embarrassed to bother with these anymore......" Martin smiled sincerely, as if from the bottom of his heart.

Donner, of course, knew what Martin's purpose was.

I saw him smile and nod, open the door of the reception room, and whisper a few words to Una.

It didn't take long for Una to deliver a package to him.

Donner closed the door again and, in front of Martin, opened the package.

"These are the fifty first-level circles that Una took last time, and there are forty second-level circles," Donner explained, "plus the fifty circles you have there, a total of one hundred and forty, all the circles I drew as a member of the Magic Circle Association...... There will be no more in the future. ”

Martin nodded frequently while carefully flipping through it, and when he was halfway through, he suddenly said in surprise: "These forty second-level magic circles, all of them are different?"

"Hmm...... There is no duplicate. Downer replied.

"That'...... You'll ...... later," Martin asked, looking up at Donner.

"I won't waste any more time making a low-level circle like this. Donner replied lightly: "As for these, I will entrust you to the auction, and the commission will be collected as you want...... It's just an appraisal or something, so you don't have to, right?"

"Of course! Of course!" replied Martin, rewrapping his package tightly, "Do you have any other works in the near future?"

"My main focus recently has been on studying the magic core array, and I'm afraid there won't be too many works...... By the way, I will continue to entrust your auction of those paintings......"

"Yes, yes, Master John...... Don't forget about the old guy when you have a new work...... "Martin said the old guy, and the smile on his face became innocent.

Donner smiled and agreed, and after a few more polite words, Martin took a laugh and said goodbye.

......

As soon as Martin left, Una came to report: Master Cross had been here for a while, and had been waiting for Donner in the studio on the second floor.

"Oh...... So, he's already met Shaida?" Donner asked with a smile.

"Hmm......" Una also smiled, "You can go up and have a look." ”

It didn't take long for Donner to watch such a scene in his studio on the second floor.

Wesley was under a magic lamp, sketching a new work.

Kroos and Shaida stood on the side behind him.

"I've always wondered how stupid it must be to spend so much money on a painting like this. Shaida clasped her hands to her chest, a look of disdain on her face. When she said that, she was pointing at Cross's nose and calling him an idiot.

"Art has the advantage of being able to judge a person's taste very easily...... "Cross's voice is still so decent, but the words spoken are prickly. It can be seen how much Shaida was already angry with Shaida before Donner went upstairs.

"Yes, you can see through those who are vassals and elegant people at a glance. "Shaida is still-for-tat.

"Hey...... You're going to quarrel, go elsewhere, don't interfere with my creation, okay?" Wesley finally couldn't take it anymore and dropped his paintbrush.

"Who wants to quarrel with this kind of person......" Shaida said coldly.

It's the first time I've seen Shaida so aggressive in a state of demon pet.

It is conceivable that this little witch, whose reputation has spread all over the Five Holy Academies, must have known the identity of Cross to become so angry.

Thinking of this, Donner quickly coughed dryly.

"John......" Cross turned his head to look at Donner, "The carriage outside just now is Martin's, right?"

"That's right, he sent me money," Donner smiled and nodded, "Where's the painting?

When Shaida heard the conversation between the two, she seemed to understand what it meant, and her face suddenly became ugly - if Cross had only bought the painting to match Donner, then her previous attacks on him would have been completely unreasonable.

However, Cross smiled and shook his head: "I changed my mind...... I decided to buy that painting, and I'm already taking advantage of the price of the other, haven't I?"

Donner looked at him, then at Shaida, who was embarrassed on the side, and said with a smile: "It seems that Shaida's face is much bigger than mine......"

Cross shrugged and smiled, as if he hadn't heard Donner's teasing, "By the way, there's a couple of things to tell you." ”

Donner then invited him downstairs to the reception room.

"Three days later, Ellie will be judged. Cross said lightly.

"Hmm......" Donner didn't answer.

"I've heard that this trial has shocked a lot of people. Cross looked at Donner, as if expecting his reaction.

"Really?"

"Aren't you worried?" asked Cross.

"Worried about what?" Donner's expression at the moment seemed as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

"Anyone who was there that day could tell that Ellie Brown was coming for you. Cross said as he interlaced his fingers and rubbed his palms lightly.

"Then I don't have to worry about it. Donner replied that geography was of course.

Cross frowned slightly: "The Brown family bought your painting......"

"I know. Donner smiled and nodded: "This money is enough to buy me off." ”

"But...... If you are biased against the Brown family, you are blatantly perjury, and the Holy See will probably be very unhappy......" Cross finally got to the point.

"Cross," Donner looked into the other's eyes and asked lightly, "Do you think I still have a choice?"

"Hmm......" Cross's brows furrowed even tighter, Donner was right, if his testimony was not good for Ellie Brown, the Brown family would definitely try to kill him, in this case, I am afraid that the Fire Sacred Courtyard with internal and external troubles will also be on the side of its ally Spring Sacred Courtyard.

In contrast, the Holy See's methods may be milder.

"That's what I'm going to tell you," Cross lowered his voice, "...... The people of the Chiga Mountains have also come to the Holy City. ”

"Chigashan?" This time, it was Donner's turn to frown.

"With them here, you don't have to worry about pressure from the Holy See......" Cross's tone became extremely cautious, "especially after you drew that silence circle." ”

"Oh?" Donner looked at Cross in surprise, he knew a lot about it.

"Slowly you'll find out why. Cross didn't say any more.
