Chapter 203: Bait

The woman glanced inside, her eyes quickly fixed on the painting in front of Arnold, and she never looked away for a long time.

"Since ancient times, this sentence is really true, you are the new generation of Follai!" The woman ran over with a long skirt and said excitedly: "Genius, do you sell this painting?"

The people of the Hidden Sanctuary stood motionless as if they had been immobilized, and the common point was that their eyes were staring at the woman, who seemed to realize something, coughed lightly, pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "I forgot to introduce myself." I am the owner of the Other Shore Art Museum, Manjuhua. ”

After speaking, Man Zhuhua pointed to Arnold's painting that looked like a real person with a green onion white jade finger, and said, "Genius, you can make a price, if you ......"

"Ahem, I ordered it, I'm sorry. Grint hurriedly stopped in front of Manjuhua and said with a grin.

Manzhuhua's face froze, and he retracted his hand in some embarrassment, and then smiled as well.

"Who is Follay?" asked Lanaya suddenly.

As soon as Lanaya finished asking, she saw a slight change in Arnold's expression, while Manjuhua looked at Lanaya directly with an incredulous expression, "You don't even know about Follai, the most famous painter of the seventh century! Everyone in the world knows how you ......"

"I'm sorry I don't read much. Lanaya laughed.

At this time, Grint sneaked up next to Lanaya and whispered, "You don't read much?"

Lanaya gave Grint a look of hatred, and then said in her heart, "You know. ”

Grint's eyes widened slightly, and then he pretended to inadvertently turn his head away slowly, as if suddenly.

Manjuhua's expression became a little regretful again, and she sighed: "Speaking of Follai, I really don't know what the point of this museum is to continue to open. One of his masterpieces, Havoc of the Dead, was stolen by a gang of thieves a few days ago. Ay...... I don't know how they have the ability to destroy the protective barrier that no one around the painting can shake. It's not a copy, so it's ......."

"Do you see the thieves?" asked Lanaya.

Ted, who was sitting at this time, also got up from his stool and walked over to them.

"To be precise, I didn't see them at the time of the theft. However, there are memory crystals that record the movement of the room in the important exhibition places of the paintings, and I saw the magical images of the time from there. There were a lot of them, and one of them, a woman, who didn't know what to do with the painting, took it down and put it in the storage ring. ”

"No one stopped them?"

"We are no match for them at all. Manjuhua was very helpless when he said this.

Lanaya frowned, then asked, "Have you heard of them before?" I mean...... Do you know where they come from?"

"I don't know. Manjuhua shook his head slowly, "If I knew, I would definitely pay for some powerful mercenaries to search for their whereabouts." That painting is the soul of this museum......!

"I want to ...... There's nothing I can do to help you. Lanaya said with a sympathetic look on her face.

They had just encountered those thieves, and although they had almost wiped them out, they had let the most crucial leaders run away! If she hadn't given the Light Stone to Corred, would the Forge Pavilion have suddenly broken in when they shouldn't have come?

"You can't say that. You're guests, and it's already an honor for me to be here, and one of you has a painter who will become famous in the future...... Isn't it. Manjuhua glanced at Arnold's painting, and a wry smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Outside the room there was the sound of going upstairs from far and near, and the servant pushed the door open with some urgency, her chest rising and falling slightly, and it seemed that she had just run a short distance.

"There's a guest here, so rude?" said Manzhuhua, frowning slightly.

"Good news, master!" said the servant's happy smile, a flash of apology, but it was quickly restored, and the joy in the teenage child's heart was hard to hide.

"What?"

"That "Thunder Havoc"...... It is said that someone saw it in the auction pre-exhibition hall!"

"What?!"

Everyone exclaimed in unison.

"When is the auction, why haven't I heard any news here?" Manzhuhua still couldn't believe this fact, and it was safer to make further sure now. It stands to reason that if an auction is to be held in such a large city as Moye City, the whole city will definitely be publicized in the first few days, and even the surrounding cities and regions will be widely advertised. But this time it was quiet, and it suddenly appeared, which is really a little strange.

"It's going to be open today. ”

"Are you sure this news is true?"

"I guess so...... This time, it is said that the Casting Pavilion and the Alchemy Room are jointly organized, and the auction items are also very ......."

Without waiting for the servant to finish, Manjuhua pushed him aside with one hand and hurried out of the room.

"Master!" the servant shouted behind Manjuhua, his hand halfway out, and then he drooped feebly, and then turned to the crowd apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm going to take over the art gallery for the time being, and if you need any help, you can call those who are dressed like me." With that, she also left in a hurry.

"What about us?" Arnold asked.

Lanaya walked over, took off the painting on Arnold's easel, quickly rolled it into a cylinder and stuffed it into Arnold's hand, and said, "We must not let Manjuhua reach our destination before we do." ”

"I agree. Ted said: "I think there must be something wrong with the two major associations they are talking about, the Casting Pavilion and the Alchemy Room!"

"Same as I thought. Lanaya nodded, "They use famous paintings as bait, not to fish the owner of the museum, but to ...... We. ”

Grimmt listened to their conversation without saying a word, and a few rays of swiftness gradually lingered on everyone's feet.

"So we're really obedient to the door?" Zovinie smiled incredulously.

"There are always more good people than bad people in the world. Lanaya smiled, "You don't know yet, let me introduce you." Mr. Cred's man is our Grandmaster of Forge. I know who he is, and besides, he has a son who is the president of the Forge Pavilion, and at noon he directly subdued the strongest leader among the thieves, so we don't need to be afraid of anything!"

Grint made a look of abrupt realization, in the past, Lanaya often mentioned to her that her caster teacher turned out to be the Corred that Lanaya was talking about, and now it seems that this person is quite famous.

"What are you going to do?" asked Zovinie.

"Rob it, of course. Lanaya's eyes narrowed slightly, "Did you know there's a haunting force? ”

"Looks like I'm going to have to approve of your approach. Zhuo Winnie forced a few laughs, but in fact, fire had already burst out in her eyes. The group she was in before was shattered by the deadly Night Shadow, and when the opportunity came, how could she not take revenge?!

Several figures jumped out of the studio like lightning, the curtains flickered slightly, the breeze outside the window was warm, it was almost dusk, and a few wisps of ink clouds were drifting in the purple sky.

Manjuhua came to the door of the auction with ease, even if she didn't have the strength to push away the crowd that was in the way, her clothes showed her noble status all the time, and everyone made a narrow way for her.

"I didn't even know there was such a thing. Man Zhuhua muttered in his mouth, the people who came this time were surprisingly many as before, and they were mixed, with respectful and humble status, so it was not lively.

Suddenly, someone tightly covered Manzhuhua's mouth and nose from behind, Manzhuhua was suddenly startled, and quickly reacted and used her elbow to hit the person who attacked her behind her, but when she reacted, the strength in her body was getting smaller and smaller, and finally she only felt that it was dark in front of her, and she didn't know anything.

......

In the auction room, Lanaya sat down relatively close to the exit exit, and through a veil, she reconfirmed the position of the others.

At Lanaya's request, all of them put on different masks and changed out of the clothes they wore today, and scattered around the venue, looking for Manjuhua. In auctions, it is not uncommon for people to wear masks, although they will attract some people's attention, but they can eventually hide their identity.

There was still a short time before the auction began, and the few of them had already looked around the venue, and the information that Lanaya had gotten from the ring was that none of them had found where Manjuhua was. Rather, Ranaya saw a few familiar backs in the front seats, two of which were certainly Corred and Willy, and the others might have only met once.

Now that Corred can rest assured that Willy will hand them over the Scepter of Light, Lanaya also ruled out the worst-case scenario, Corred and Willy are not part of this fishing operation! Now she wants to ask Corred if he knows the inside story, but she suddenly remembers that the rings of the two of them have not yet recognized each other!

In this way, if you just get up and go to Cred, it will be too obvious!

Frowning slightly, Lanaya continued to look to the side, and the other end of the front row should be the people in the alchemy room, but they were too far apart, and from time to time there were people walking around to obstruct the vision, and she couldn't quite see the situation of the people over there.

At this moment, a waiter walked in through the side door with a full plate of black tea, and Lanaya got up and walked directly towards him, and pointed in the direction of Corred with an inconspicuous gesture, whispered something into his ear, and then took out a silver coin and stuffed it into his pocket.

The waitress frowned, looking a little hesitant, perhaps thinking that Lanaya's veiled appearance did not look like a good person, but finally made a reluctant expression, nodded, and walked to the VIP seat in the front row.
