Heaven's Formula

This move has already violated the rules of the auction, but the notary did not want to offend the notorious Azie, so he could only shake his head helplessly—even though he didn't say a word, the look on his face has already proved that the other party is completely serious. Ability to pay this staggering sum.

"Seventeen thousand two hundred gold Kern, once!"

"Second time!"

"Three times, deal!" The host swung the gavel in his hand.

This time, Azie's face was gloomy, and he didn't raise his card again.

……

After waiting for the servants to leave, Li jumped down from the roof beam and landed in front of a door at the end of the corridor.

This place is located on the east side of the third floor of the Holy Palace. The location is not very hidden, but the security forces are obviously much tighter.From the second floor to the third floor, there are not only movable iron doors, but also holy palace guards standing guard, which is also a disguised verification of the guess that there are better rooms in the villa than the upper room—at least there will be no people around the upper room. Guns garrisoned.

The aftertaste left in Xia Fan's hands is also most obvious here.

"It seems that this guy's usual room is this."

Li looked around and jumped briskly onto the window sill in the aisle.

She had no intention of prying open the door.

The fox form is not suitable for using tools, nor is there a special passage that can only be walked by people.

After opening the unlocked window, she landed directly on the eaves of the second floor outdoors, and then used the decorations and protrusions on the wall to climb all the way to the top of the roof.

The move also scared away several birds resting on the roof.

Li quickly found the chimney that led directly into the room—it was already summer, and the fireplace had been emptied long ago, so she entered the house through the chimney with little effort.

Since it was night, the room was really dark. Even though Li had night vision ability, he could only vaguely see the outline of the furniture without the light of the stars.

So the first thing she has to do is light the fire.

Fortunately, there are ready-made candles and torches, and it is not difficult to ignite tinder with forelimbs and teeth.

With the firelight, she was finally able to see the whole picture of the house—this house was equally ornately decorated, with golden lights shining as far as the eye could see, not to mention the usual exquisite furniture, just the complete bear skin with a head under the big bed, You can know the general tone of the whole house.

Among these furnishings, the most eye-catching is the glass cabinet that occupies most of the wall.

Not only is the glass itself pure and translucent, but the various utensils placed inside are also very distinctive, such as dry weathered wrists, human skulls inlaid with huge gemstones, a broken golden crown, etc... Considering that this is only the Holy Palace The exclusive residence provided, and the things placed here are only temporary storage, and the number of collections in Azie's home may be quite astonishing.

It seems that Ratherin's information is quite correct, Li Xin said, this person does have a strong desire to collect unusual and rare objects.

If it was a thief who sneaked into the house, this business would definitely be rewarding. What Ke Li needed were clues—except for various collections, she didn't find anything related to Azie himself.

Could it be that the other party just regards this place as a place to rest and relax?

After searching around in the room, Li's gaze was suddenly attracted by a ceramic bottle on the desk.

From the perspective of style, it has nothing to do with artwork, and from the perspective of function, it seems to be just an ordinary pen holder, but this humble bottle has a very strong smell.Not only did Azie often "play" with it, but other people also touched it frequently.

If the bottle was just an ordinary thing, Azie, who was used to seeing rare treasures, shouldn't have cared so much for it.

Li lightly jumped onto the table and pushed the porcelain vase, but the latter remained motionless.

She suddenly had a bottom line in her heart.

Wrapping her tail around the back of the bottle, she gradually spun vigorously, and soon there was a crisp sound from under the table.

Then the wall where the glass cabinet was placed suddenly opened to both sides, revealing a secret door just for one person to pass through!

I knew this house would not be that simple.Li grinned, and rushed into the secret room like a ghost.

The cubicle was only ten feet square, and contained nothing but a desk, a bronze mirror, and a skylight.What made Li feel inexplicable was that in such a relatively confined space, the bronze mirror hanging directly above the table was half the height of a person, and the mirror frame was also quite exquisite. In the auction hall, Li didn't find it strange at all, but in this small room with obvious lack of lighting, it looked very strange.

With such a secret room in the Holy Palace, it can't be for the occupants to make up and dress up, right?

Li cautiously did not get close to the mirror, but kept a certain distance from it, and buried himself in the desk to search.

Three or four envelopes were found, but unfortunately the inside was empty, and the letter did not survive.

There are also several books in the drawer, but they all record Azie's auction results, including the time, cost and whereabouts of the auction.Li flipped through it casually, and found that a small part of the collection seemed to be given to the nobles in the city by him as a gift. According to these lists, it may be possible to further narrow down the scope of Gun Gun's search, but it would take a lot of energy to search in depth. .

When she was about to put the book back into the drawer, a shiny thing suddenly fell out.

Li couldn't help but let out a gasp, and leaned over to straighten the fallen object.

It was a half-wood and half-metal emblem, and the metal only occupied one side, and it was carved with a beautiful pattern.At first glance, its main body looks like a stone tower, with huge eyes open at the top, the sun, moon and stars are arranged on the left and right, and the base map behind it is a standard hexagram.

What emblem is this?Li looked at it carefully for a while, and remembered the pattern in his mind - if he showed it to Olina, he might find something.

But at this moment, she heard footsteps outside the door.

Chapter 542

Someone is coming in!

Li put the things back in place as quickly as possible, then rushed out of the secret room, spun the porcelain vase, extinguished the candles, and finally jumped under the bed.

The moment the secret door closed softly, the lock was also opened with a click.

Even Li swallowed his saliva.

If she was one step slower, she would probably be hit straight.

But the auction will last at least one hour, she should have enough time, why did the owner of the room come back suddenly?

Through the narrow slit under the bed, she could see that there were two people entering the room. Although the upper body could not be seen, judging from the size of the boots and the heaviness of their steps, one of them should be Azio Lumen.

"It's unreasonable!" After the fire was lit again, Azie's voice sounded quickly—from the heavy slamming of the door, it was clear that he was in a very good mood, "What is the origin of that guy? How dare you tease me at the Holy Palace auction! Even Sheila's royal family would not show such an attitude!"

"The one with the highest price wins, isn't that what auctions are all about?" Another person replied.Judging from the voice, this person is male, about thirty to forty years old, with a slight hoarseness in his speech. "Besides, you also got the eighth item."

"The problem is that it's [-] gold coins!" Azie's tone became gritted, "I didn't intend to ask for it! I just wanted to raise it to [-] to see how capable he is, but he actually gave up on the price." , What is this behavior other than provocation? The entire Holy Wing Islands dare to treat Lao Tzu like this, you can count them on one hand!"

Li couldn't help shaking his ears—the other party had met an unexpected opponent, and he was so angry that he left the field temporarily?

"No, let's leave this matter alone!" Azie said angrily, "If this masked guy leaves Azure Castle safely, I'm afraid I will become the laughing stock of all my colleagues. You have to help me solve this problem matter!"

"How to deal with it?"

"It's impossible for him to own so much money alone. I can't touch the things he photographed and those belongings, but his people have to stay in Azure Fort forever." Azie walked back and forth, "Money is not subject to If it hurts, the power behind him can be easily explained, at worst, I will send another pension. But those who openly oppose me must pay the price!"

"What if he is an aristocrat?"

"Are you afraid of Dragonborn?"

The man was silent for a moment and then snorted, "Forget it, if this matter can be settled, it's not impossible to help you solve him smoothly."

"Then it's up to you."

Hearing this, Li couldn't help being a little surprised—at first she thought that this man was Azie's confidant or personal bodyguard, but the conversation between the two didn't seem to have a similar relationship. More like a collaborator.

Suddenly, the man changed the subject, "Wait a minute, there is news over there."

"Now?" Azie asked.

"Yes, use the Dimensional Mirror, my teacher has something to tell you."

"I see." He walked to the table, and then there was the familiar sound of gears snapping under the table.

Li saw that the glass cabinet wall opened to both sides again.

The two then walked into the secret room.

There is a gap in the room where no one is following, and now is undoubtedly the best time to leave this place.Moreover, Li also felt that she did not have much energy left. Considering that she still needs to consume a lot to return to the place where she stayed, staying here for a long time may cause more variables, but the sentence "there is news" made her hesitate. .

Li faintly had a hunch that what they were going to talk about next might be extremely important information.

After thinking about it again and again, she quietly moved aside, came to the foot of the bed, and poked her head out slightly from below.Due to the cover of the bear's head, she could only see a small part of the secret room, such as half of the bronze mirror and the owner of Baiguoyuan standing in front of the mirror. Unfortunately, the man never appeared in her field of vision.

Soon, Li saw an incredible scene!

What was shown in the mirror was no longer Azie himself, but became muddy, and the smooth mirror surface seemed to be a turbulent sea wave.They kept rising and falling, emitting a dim light. After about half an hour or so, those protrusions and depressions actually formed a roughly human-shaped face!

"Good evening, Lord Shadow." Azie stroked his chest in salute, slightly lowered his muscular body, it was hard to see that he was the same person as the murderous snake just now.

"The Seventeenth Line has a new task for you." The face opened its mouth, and the muddy voice spit out from the mirror, "A day later, our guest will visit your mansion, what you have to do is to serve him as much as possible." Help with everything he needs."

Li suddenly realized that this is a remote communication magic weapon!

In the Kingdom of the Holy Wing Islands, the qi sensers also invented something similar to the sound instrument - it was through it that Lord Shadow conveyed instructions to Azie outside the Holy Palace!

This undoubtedly greatly increases the difficulty of anti-tracking.

"Everything?" Azie's tone revealed a trace of embarrassment, "Your Excellency, the church's jury is now in the city, and I'm worried that too many actions will be targeted by them."

Church jury?

Li's ears perked up suddenly.

Why did they suddenly mention church power at this time?

If Azie was just a wealthy businessman with multiple firms in his hands, if what he wanted to deal with was just a fellow auctioneer, he should have nothing to do with the church at all.

And who is the "guest" who came to visit?Why did Azie need to be treated so carefully?

"It doesn't matter." The mirror said slowly again, "He will also consider this when he asks, so you just do it. Once this matter is done, it will be of great benefit to you and me. The majority of people are still in the dark, and it's time to wake them up."

"Yes...I understand."

"I look forward to your performance." The waves gradually dissipated, and the surface of the mirror returned to calm.

Azie straightened up and heaved a sigh of relief.

For him, such a conversation always has an indescribable sense of depression and discomfort.

Just when Azie was about to leave the secret room, his bald brows frowned suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Another man also stopped.

He stretched out his plump fingers covered with rings, and touched the envelope on the table, "...the order is wrong."

"Order? In what order?"

"The order in which these letters are placed." He said in a deep voice, "The envelopes were not placed like this when I came last time."

The man's tone suddenly became serious, "Are you sure?"

Azie nodded, "I shouldn't remember wrongly."

The latter suddenly turned his head, his eyes swept across the empty room, and his eyes quickly locked on the big central bed.

The next moment, a series of hasty incantations were spit out, and dozens of shining sword shadows instantly appeared in midair.The man raised his hand and pressed it, and the sword shadow fell like a rainstorm, piercing the bed board!

Chapter 543 The West Pole Formation

The spell disappeared, and Azie leaned over to the bed and bent over to see that there was nothing under the bed.

"There's nothing down there."

And this big bed is also the only place in the room where people can hide.

"It seems that the thief has already left," the man looked around, "and he didn't take any of the collection."

This is more troublesome than losing a few treasures.

If a thief breaks into this house not for money, what does he want?

A stern look flashed in Azie's eyes, "Could the other party be..."

"No matter what his origin is, don't even think about leaving the Holy Palace today." The man said without hesitation, "It's not convenient for me to show up too much, so please inform the Holy Palace immediately so that they can seal Zhuangzi and activate the magic lock."

"Even if you don't say it, I will do it." Azie's voice was extremely gloomy, "How dare you touch my head, I will make him regret coming to this world!"

This is by no means a harsh word.

Apart from ability and opportunity, he has been able to make it to this day, but also because he has never shown mercy to his enemies.

For those who fall into his hands, even a happy death is a desire.

What's more, this is still the Holy Palace.

The tight defense on the periphery can ensure that no mouse can sneak in. In other words, the person who broke into his room is still in the villa.

The other party must be a "guest" who has been invited and entered the building through the prescribed passage.

And this person's act of stealing definitely crossed the bottom line of the Holy Palace, and no one would defend him in the entire Holy Wing Islands.

In Azie's eyes, this person is no different from a dead person.

……

When the No. 12 item was auctioned, Xia Fan suddenly felt the air around him condense slightly, as if touched by something, and it was no longer as soft and agile as before.

He subconsciously looked at Olina and Lathein. They had no difference, and they were still staring at the auction table, as if this abnormality was just his own illusion.
