Nock, who had regained his composure, looked at the two and said:

"Now, we have three things to do."

"First, continue to investigate the identity of the little girl, preferably before the auction.

By the way, how many days are left until the auction starts? ”

Nock asked suddenly.

Sophia replied, "Two days, not two days, to be exact." The auction starts tomorrow evening. ”

"Damn it!" Nock became a little anxious.

He took two deep breaths to calm himself down.

"In this way, we changed our strategy and divided our troops into two ways.

At night, you ask Leo to help you bring clothes that are convenient for fighting.

Then go out in disguise, find a small hotel to change into combat clothes and sneak out.

Take Leo with him, find the adventurers, torture them, and ask the little girl for all the information.

Remember to cut the grass and eradicate the roots afterwards, and don't leave a living mouth.

Don't think I'm cruel, we're walking on thin ice in the royal capital,

Every step is dangerous.

For your own safety, you must not be a woman's kindness.

Got it! ”

Leo and the others nodded in understanding.

Leo looked at Nock and asked, "What about you?" ”

Nock groaned for a moment, and replied, "I'm going to visit Lady Mantilati." ”

"Madame Mantilati? Who's this? ”

Sophia asked, confused.

Leo explained, "This is the manpower arranged by Lord Angeladi in the royal capital.

When we left the champagne collar, she told us that we could come to her if we were in trouble. ”

After Leo finished speaking, he looked at Nock with a serious expression and asked, "Are you sure you want to ask her for help?" ”

"No way, time is too short. Even if you have the results over there, investigate the current location of little Jasmine,

How to infiltrate the rescue, break the slave contract, etc., is too late. ”

Nock explained with a solemn expression: "The only way now is Sophia's previous plan,

Participate in the auction.

I still have 5,000 gold coins here to participate in the auction, and it should be enough for one person to come to the auction.

But I couldn't get a ticket to the auction in one day.

Plus the royal capital, there are people like Molière and Freya waiting for us.

We must tread carefully this time.

Luckily, we used a pseudonym when staying here.

From now on, remember each other's pseudonyms and don't call them wrong.

Sophia is now Tina Gareth, the woman with whom I have a leg.

Leo's name is Mock, and he's my bodyguard.

I'm Playboy Jack Rice.

After a while we left the hotel together, and then we parted on the street.

Mock went shopping with Tina, then carried me behind my back and hooked up with each other.

I found a small hotel to open a room.

Then you take the opportunity to change your clothes and leave the inn.

Remember, be sure to get back to your hotel before midnight.

When you come back, remember to bring luxury items with you.

So when shopping, don't save.

When you come back, you can drink some wine properly.

Even if it is revealed that you have adultery, there is no problem,

But don't be too obvious.

After parting, I'll head to Eighth Avenue to find Madame Mantilati.

Then decide on a plan of action based on the situation.

If she can be trusted, I will pretend to have an affair with her and stay at her house.

Then send someone to deliver a letter to Leo, so that you will have an excuse to return late without being discovered by me.

If she can't be trusted, I'll get the ticket and come back and wait for Leo in the room.

So, as soon as you come back and don't see me, we'll meet at the auction house at 11 a.m. tomorrow.

The time is based on the [time] on the side of the Seine.

Do you understand? ”

The two nodded again, indicating that there was no problem.

[Time] is the name of the bell in Pali City.

It sits on top of a large mill on the banks of the Seine,

It was the first clock produced by the Goblin.

At that time, this cross-era building once attracted tourists from all over the mainland.

Many aristocrats came here.

Nowadays, the nobles of the mainland have a clock made of goblins in their homes.

Recently, however, goblins have introduced a more elaborate type of clock – pocket watches.

A small clock that can be carried in the arms and is easy to carry.

The price is also unexpectedly expensive.

Straight to the point.

After discussing the countermeasures, the three of them began to take action.

Nock and Leo have nothing to clean up.

Their luggage is in the opposite room, but it is not convenient to go back and get it now.

After all, Nock was "having an affair" at this time.

Sofia packed up her battle suit and ended up tied to her stomach by Leo.

When you cover your clothes, you can't tell what's hidden inside.

After waiting for half an hour, Nock and Sophia rubbed their hands on their faces a few times,

Pretend to be a flush after the fact.

Then, Nock put his arm around Sophia in front and Leo in the back,

The three of them left the room and walked out of the hotel.

Leo called for a carriage that was parked near the hotel and was waiting for the guests.

The three of them got into the car and left.

Near the shopping street, Nock asked the driver to stop the car.

Then he told Sophia loudly that he had business to discuss, and asked Leo to accompany her shopping,

Nock pays.

Then, under Sophia's flying kiss, Nock rode in a carriage towards Eighth Street.

Sofia took Leo to do as planned,

After buying a few sets of women's clothes at random, I bought Leo a set of inconspicuous men's clothes to change into.

The two left the commercial street and found a small hotel in the middle of nowhere to open a room.

Nock rode in a carriage to Eighth Street,

He settled the fare for the coachman, refused the coachman's offer to wait for him, and walked into Eighth Avenue alone.

Nock did not inquire directly about Mrs. Mantilati's address.

Like a tourist, you can enjoy the 8th Avenue from beginning to end.

Soon, Nock locked in a house that was not very conspicuous, but not less luxurious.

As a spy, the more inconspicuous the better.

However, there are exceptions.

After all, the spy who could have Angeladi personally speak,

Affirmatively, the status is not low.

Some news still requires a certain status to find out.

Therefore, it is most likely that this lady of Mantilati lived in the house that Nock had locked.

As for whether it is or not, just try it.

"Knock Knock"

Nock walked up the stairs facing the street and knocked on the door of the house. (Note 1)

"Who's coming?"

Soon, there was a response from behind the door.

"Hello, is this Madame Mantilati's home?"

Nock asked behind the door in a sound voice, neither obtrusive nor inaudible.

The man behind the door paused and replied:

"Yes, this is indeed the home of Madame Mantilati. Who are you? ”

"Oh, I was introduced by a friend, and I have business to talk to Madame Mantilati."

"It turned out to be a business discussion, you wait, guest, I'll open the door for you."

Nock waited for about half a minute before the door opened.

"Please come in."

The man who opened the door was a young woman.

It looks like it's only about twenty-five or sixteen, not much bigger than Nock.

"Thank you."

Nock politely stepped into the house.

The woman closed the door with her hand, but Nock went inside.

"This way, please."

The woman led Nock up the stairs and upstairs.

Upstairs, a spacious living room is right in front of you.

The woman brought Nok to the sofa in the living room and asked him to sit down.

"I don't know where the guests are from, what business do you want to talk to Madame Mantilati?"

The woman casually asked Nock as she prepared the tea.

Nock looked around, then at the busy woman in front of him,

I have a bottom in my heart.

"Below was Jack Rice, passing by the champagne collar, and having a great conversation with Ms. Angelaldi.

She knew that I was coming to Wangdu to do business, so she introduced me to a friend.

Said I could ask her friend for help if I got into trouble.

I don't know if what she said is accurate, what do you say?

Mrs. Mantilati! ”

Mrs. Mantilati smiled and walked up to Nock with a teapot,

Leaned over to pour Nock tea.

"It seems that the guest has a very unique vision, and he actually guessed my identity."

Nock looked at the pair of murder weapons displayed in front of him because he leaned over to pour tea,

I couldn't help but lean back and pull away a little.

But I don't know if this Mrs. Mantilati has just taken a bath, and she exudes an attractive body fragrance.

Crazy into Nock's nose.

Nock's small movements naturally couldn't hide Mrs. Mantilati, who was pouring tea.

It's just that she doesn't seem to care at all.

insisted on pouring the tea, and only then in Nock's vague regretful gaze,

Sit down across from Nock.

"Okay, now that you've guessed my identity, we'll have something to say."

Madame Mantilati smiled, but her words were a little unkind.

"Since you know Angeladi, then I look at her face, and I will definitely help if I can,

But the money that should be collected must not be less. If that's all right, just tell me something.

If you can't accept it, drink tea, the stairs are on that side, and you won't send it slowly. ”

Nock didn't expect that this Mrs. Mantilati had such a personality.

Didn't she receive a message from Angeladi?

Little did he know that Nock was coming for her.

Or is Angeladi lying to Nock, this Madame Mantilati is not her subordinate.

So Nock asked, "Am I mistaken?" Aren't you and Ms. Angeladi close friends?

She didn't tell me to ask you for help and to give me money.

Of course, if you need to charge for helping, please tell us.

If the charge is reasonable, I will not refuse.

After all, if you have to pay, you should have something to gain.

This is a matter of course. ”

"Giggles, it seems that Mr. Rice is still a very principled person."

Mrs. Mantilati burst into laughter.

Nock replied as a matter of course: "That's nature, and it seems to me that everything in the world has a price.

can be used to trade, the reason why the transaction is not successful is just that the price is insufficient. ”

Madame Mantilati suddenly became interested, and propped her hands on the low table in front of her,

Leaning forward, his head almost in front of Nock.

"Then Mr. Rice, please see, how much am you willing to bid for me?"

Nock looked at the banter in Madame Mantilati's eyes, and was a little annoyed in his heart.

He couldn't wait to get down to business now, but this woman tried him again and again.

It seems that this woman must be taught a lesson.

So, without hesitation, Nock poked his hand through the empty collar of Madame Mantilati's coat.

grabbed the other party's murder weapon.

"Well, with this murder weapon alone, I think it's worth at least fifty gold coins. What do you think, ma'am? ”

There was no surprise in Mrs. Mantilati's eyes, at least surprise,

She pounced directly on Nock,

Whispered in Nock's ear:

"I think that Mr. Derice can come up with an accurate price by checking it himself."

"Boom!"

Nock was furious,

He grabbed Mrs. Mantilati and walked towards her bedroom.

"Okay, I'll inspect the goods to avoid the wrong price!"

"Note 1: The architecture here is set like this in the author's architectural mode.

As the Seine River runs through the city, it is possible to inundate the low-lying urban areas.

In some neighborhoods, the ground floor is raised and the house is built at the height of the second floor.

It's kind of like the ramp building on the street in the Japanese, with a staircase outside."
