At 7:30 a.m. the next day, on the Avenue of Champliques, east of Place de la Rose.

Martin and Hynes were standing on the side of the road, waiting for something.

The early morning fog had not yet dissipated, and the area around Rose Square was already bustling. Black-uniformed police officers are already patrolling the streets, dispersing the fruit and preserves peddlers along the streets, as well as the homeless people lying on benches and corners.

"Mr. Hines, why did you tell me to come to the tent between 7:23 and 8:36?"

Martin was curious about the minute-accurate timing, as he had actually gotten up at dawn and had been waiting for a short distance outside the screaming tent early, when it was still closed. Then, as the old man said, he didn't go into the tent until 7:23.

He even wondered if Hines had started late, but it really didn't seem like such a precise time had been given at random.

Hines took a brass badge, took out his pocket watch, looked at the time, and then said to Martin with a smile:

"You must think I woke up late."

"Actually, it's up to [Scream Tent], and it has nothing to do with me."

"During the tent period, entering different tents at different times will have a different experience. Among them, my divination time is from 7:23 to 8:36 every morning. ”

"And after 8:36, it's the [Screaming Tent] that closes, and even I have to leave. It wasn't until 8:36 p.m. that the tent opened again. ”

It is said that this was based on the timing of the appearance and disappearance of the legendary "blood moon". ”

"What happens if you don't leave?" Martin couldn't help but be a little curious when he heard Hynes say that he had to leave the tent as well.

It's the first time Martin has heard of such strange opening hours, screaming that the tent only opens at night, what does "different experience" mean? Martin decided to try it next time.

"For example, divination at your place and then forgetting the time or something."

"Hehe, generally speaking, I end divination before the closing time, so the situation you mentioned hasn't happened until now."

"I was also new to [Scream Tent], so I just knew I had to come out during business hours. But if you do stay in the tent until after business hours, it is said that terrible things can happen. ”

"I heard that a homeless man somehow broke into the tent after it was closed the other day, but when the tent opened again in the evening, all people saw was bone scraps."

"Don't walk into the [screaming tent] at the wrong time, that's the first rule to use it."

As soon as Hines finished speaking, a black carriage slowly drove through the morning mist.

The carriage was drawn by two horses, each blindfolded with a black cloth, and the driver sat at the front of the carriage.

As the carriage approached, Martin noticed a golden sunflower symbol on its carriage.

Hines showed the sunflower badge to the driver and pulled Martin into his seat.

I saw that in the carriage on the first floor, there were already a few people seated.

Martin recognized one of them, it was Anne, who had saved her life yesterday, and there were two maids with her, but it didn't seem to be the two from yesterday.

On the other side of the carriage sat a young man and an old man in a robe.

The young man was very handsome with flowing blond hair, and his words and deeds revealed the air of aristocracy, and he was smiling and chatting with Anne.

Anne was surprised to see them come up, and she eagerly said to Hines in front of her:

"Mr. Hines, I didn't expect to meet you here!"

"Miss Anne, what a coincidence, why do you suddenly want to go to the auction? I remember you didn't like to be a fan of this kind of 'naked and brutal' activity before. ”

Hines seemed to know Anne better, and he replied more enthusiastically as he sat down across from her.

"Yesterday something happened to me outside, my father didn't let me go out, and I managed to convince him, but he only let me come to the auction."

Anne saw Martin at this time, and she paused for a moment, and then shouted to Martin in surprise:

"Mr. Martin, is that you?"

"Oh? Miss Anne, do you know Martin? ”

Hines asked with interest.

Anne then tells Hynes about Martin's rescue yesterday, and praises him in her words.

Martin encountered such a scene again, and Rao couldn't help blushing a little because he was self-proclaimed cheeky, but fortunately he couldn't see it when he wore a mask.

"If it weren't for Mr. Martin, I probably wouldn't be able to talk to you here right now."

Anne said with fear in her tone.

"A simple, yet effective approach."

The blond young man next to him suddenly interjected, and he cast his gaze over to Hynes and Anne while ignoring Martin, and continued:

"If it were me, I would use the "Lily of the Valley tincture", which is known as the "tears of the Virgin", after taking it, it will automatically release the corresponding effect according to the symptoms of the body, it is very magical, I got it from a famous pharmacist in the white car country, it is very precious. ”

"Of course, if you can save your life, Miss Anne, it will also be the luck and glory of this tincture."

"Thank you for your kindness." Anne blushed a little when she heard the blonde young man's words, and bowed her head to express her gratitude.

Martin was somewhat grateful to the young man for answering in time, otherwise he would not have known how to continue dealing with Anne.

The carriage went very smoothly, and after some time it stopped, and the group got out of the carriage at the reminder of the coachman.

It was only then that Martin realized that there were also people on the second floor of the carriage.

A woman in a black veil top hat led a child down the second floor of the carriage, wearing a lolita-style dress with vertical black stripes and ruffles, nodded at the sight of them, and then walked towards the gate where the carriage stopped.

Martin seemed to smell a familiar scent, but couldn't remember where it was.

He followed the back of the two of them leaving, and saw a three-story building with a retro atmosphere, and in the middle of the building there was a bell tower, on which was painted a huge carriage full of sunflowers, and its name was written in a tall and thin flower style:

【Sunflower Carriage】

Holding the sunflower badge, they walked unimpeded into the building, and Martin looked at the thick red carpet on the floor, the crystal chandeliers that glittered overhead, and the smartly dressed waiters, who almost rivaled the "Plantagenet" he had been in.

You know, although it was a cage, all the decorations and furnishings were made according to the standards of the great nobles and even the royal family, otherwise Martin would not easily believe Stanley's nonsense about the "baron".

The group dispersed as soon as they entered, and Martin, Hines, and Anne were led by the waiters through the bustling hall, where there seemed to be an unusually hot auction going on.

Martin looked out over to the auction stand, where the host was enthusiastically presenting the lots to the audience.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next thing to be auctioned is our latest magical item, it is provided by the [Shepherd's Club] under the auction house, and it is recognized by the club as a 'gray wool' worth 40 quality threads, what this means, everyone should understand."

"It is the product of the combination of the 'Spoon' deck of plum blossoms III and enstate, and the whole takes on the shape of a white pocket, called [Sweet Pocket]."

"After the review of the Council of Elders, we will classify it as a [Beta] level auction item, with a quality serial number [β-2-23], and a starting price: 500 Gold Holy Light Coins."
