Chapter 193: Bidders and Inquisitors

Audrey eventually reined in herself, and reserved herself by buying only three pages of Russell the Great's manuscript, and discussing with the young man who sold the manuscript whether tattooing Russell's text on her body would have any extraordinary effect.

And the other party swore that he had already cracked some of the special runes of Russell the Great, tattooed three of them on his body, and obtained good abilities.

Of course, Audrey had actually asked Mr. Fool about this, and Mr. Fool's answer was that unless some god was suddenly interested, the words themselves had no power.

Although she felt that the other party was bragging, out of curiosity, she still asked tentatively: "What did you tattoo on your body, and what good abilities did you gain because of it?" ”

The young man who sold Russell's manuscript immediately rolled up his sleeves, displayed three twisted "patterns", and replied excitedly:

"I'm stronger and healthier!"

Audrey silently jotted down the shapes of the three symbols and decided to ask Mr. Fool for advice at the next tarot meeting.

Hugh also left a line on the blackboard at this time, which was the "spring water of the golden spring of Sunia" that Abner had purchased, one of the auxiliary materials for the Erudito's potion.

Meanwhile, Detective Zerrell was led by a waiter to the living room on the first floor, and when he looked up, he saw a long-haired lady wearing a strange iron mask waiting there.

She looked at Zereel, whose face was hidden in the hood, and smiled in an obviously disguised voice, "I'll make an introduction when all the bidders are here." ”

"Yes." Detective Zerrell bowed slightly, not disagreeing with this.

In less than a minute, two more people were ushered into the room by the waiter, one of whom was the man with the same unmasked face and distinct blue seaweed head as before.

The other was a lady whose face was completely obscured by the shadow of her hood, and her gender could only be seen from her proud figure.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the lady with the strange iron mask glanced at the three people in front of her, and then laughed softly:

"I'll introduce myself first, so that you don't doubt my abilities."

"No, I believe Mr. A." The lady who hid her face under the hood said in a hoarse voice.

Although Zerell and the blue-haired man didn't trust Mr. A much, they weren't stupid enough to refute it on the spot, so they just listened quietly to each other's statements and didn't say anything.

"I'm a 'decryption scholar', and half a month ago, I found out that the 'Rose School' and the 'Dawn of Elements' were in conflict in a certain area...... The conflict was very secretive, and almost no one noticed it, but it was not low...... As a 'decryption scholar', I did some research on this out of interest, and then found some clues in the dreams of an ordinary person who had worked in the area.

"Turani von Hermosius, the greatest scientist since Russell the Great, mathematician, mechanic, father of the second generation of differential machines...... He used to live in seclusion in that area. ”

The masked lady said this, took out a piece of paper with a formula written on it from her hand, showed it to the three men, and continued:

"This is a page of manuscript that the ordinary person saw when she was hired to clean the study, which I unearthed in her dream, and I thought it would prove the existence of the 'third-generation differential manuscript'."

As soon as her words fell, the blue-haired man asked solemnly, "Does Hermosiuin still live there?" Is the battle between the 'Rose School' and the 'Elemental Dawn' still going on there? ”

The masked lady looked at him and replied in a low voice:

"Mr. Hermosius had already fled in the middle of the battle between the two factions, and most of the 'Rose School' and the 'Elemental Dawn' had chased him out of Beckland. There are no forces guarding that place right now......

"Also, I have to remind you that Mr. Hermosiuin hid the manuscript so deeply before he fled that it was not easy to find."

The blue-haired man sneered when he heard this, and asked, "Then how do I know if the manuscript of the 'Difference Machine' exists?" After all, you used to be a 'scammer', didn't you? ”

"I'm a 'decryption scholar' now, and if you have to trust the judgment of a professional, I'm sure there's a manuscript left there...... Well, on that point, Mr. A can be asked to notarize. The masked lady spread her hands and said.

"I'm sure she's telling the truth."

At this time, with a hoarse voice coming, everyone was shocked, and hurriedly looked back, only to find that Mr. A had been sitting on the sofa on the other side of the living room at some point, and no one had noticed it before.

However, with the strong man's assurance, both the blue-haired man and Detective Zerrell were partially dissipated, while the hooded lady was flat throughout, seemingly trusting the "decryption scholar".

"Okay, since there are no doubts, let's start bidding. The reserve price is £300, and if you have a potion recipe for the 'Barbarian', you can get it first. The woman, who called herself a "secret scholar," clapped her palms and said.

"400 pounds!" The hooded lady quoted directly.

“450!” Not to be outdone, Zerell applied for special funding from his superiors for the party, and it was approved.

"I'll give 500 pounds!" The blue-haired man frowned, he only knew that there was this information for sale after he came over, so the money prepared was not very much, and 500 pounds was almost the upper limit he could bear at present.

"I have a 'rune steel sword' with purification and exorcism effects, it is the nemesis of undead creatures such as water ghosts, resentful spirits, and living corpses, and it can be used for three years, it is worth more than 500 pounds, if you are interested, I can exchange it for it." The lady who covered her face with a hood thought for a moment, opened a box at hand, and showed it.

"No, I don't need weapons...... But if you add your previous 400 pounds to this weapon, I'll be happy to sell it to you. The long-haired lady in the strange mask thought for a moment and said.

Detective Zeroel's heart sank when he saw this scene, and he hurriedly shouted again: "1,000 pounds, I'll pay 1,000 pounds!" That's worth more than the sword and 400 pounds combined. ”

The masked "Secret Scholar" lady heard the slight hook of her mouth, looked around, and saw that no one else had raised the price, so she nodded and said, "Deal!" You can rest assured that I will not sell this information again in the future, notarized by Mr. A. ”

Detective Zerrell paid the money with some pain, although it was the money he had applied for, but if there was a balance, it was actually owned by him...... Unfortunately, £1,000 is the upper limit of the amount he can apply.

Thankfully, he ended up with that address.

But as soon as he took the note handed over by the lady of the "Decryption Scholar", before he could read it, he suddenly heard the blue-haired man cough violently, and in just a few seconds, it developed to the point where he could not straighten his waist, and it seemed that he did not fall down by relying on an invisible figure behind him.

Zeriel was shocked to see this, because it was only then that he realized that there was actually a person in this room!

"How dare you play such a trick at my party! This time it's just a warning...... Now, leave this room with your secret puppet right away! Mr. A looked at the blue-haired man with a cold gaze, and then added in an unquestioning tone, "Also, after today's party, you will be the last one to go!" I'll keep an eye on you! ”

When the man heard this, his heart sank, and he found that his symptoms seemed to be much lighter, and he hurried out of the room in embarrassment.

"What happened?" Detective Zerrell and the lady who sold the information looked at each other, both a little confused.

"He tried to 'mind-read' you with that secret puppet in 'psychological invisibility', but I interrupted him." Mr. A explained with a smile.

Detective Zerrell felt a chill in his heart, and decided not to wait for the party to end, but to go home immediately while the man was shocked by Mr. A.

Before he walked out of the living room, he found that the lady with her face covered by a hood had no intention of leaving. It seems that there are other deals to be done.

Mr. A glanced at them and returned to the trading floor.

After everyone had left, the "Decryption Scholar" lady said in a coquettish tone to the lady whose face was covered by a hood: "There are no 'barbarians' this time, and the recipe for your sequence is really hard to get." ”

"What's the solution? Fortunately, I made a lot of money this time...... To be honest, you're so bold, I've been scared by your unauthorized price hike before...... Thankfully, someone was willing to pay 1,000 pounds......"

"Hehe, as a 'secret scholar', my observation, intuition, and speculation abilities have improved a lot, and even if I don't use extraordinary abilities, I can guess where that person's bottom line is."

……

After Detective Zerrell leaves the living room, he finds Erin and asks if she wants to leave with him, but the other party is clearly not happy.

Detective Zerrell didn't bother to pay attention to this, and even felt that one less burden could avoid being followed. He glanced at the blue-haired man who was staring at him with an unkind gaze, and walked out of the door of the house without looking back.

When Erin saw that Mr. A was sitting back on the sofa and that there was no one else who needed him to "notarize", she walked over with a little excitement and asked reservedly, "Sir, can I get to know you?" ”

Mr. A swept Erin's face and chuckled, "Okay." ”

……

After the party, Hugh and Firth worked together to protect Audrey and Viscount Slylint back to the ball at the Viscount's house before parting ways.

- Hugh also sent the "spring water of the golden spring of Sunia" that he had bought to Abner.

When she came to the garden house in the district of Jowood, Hugh had not had time to take out the "spring water" when he heard Abner say to her with a smile:

"Hugh, the 'horn of the Flashed Black Serpent' you need is here.

"Plus the 'Dust of the Spirit of the Lake' you got earlier......

"You'll soon be an 'interrogator'!"
