After the silver basin was filled, he slid his fingernails across his wrist, letting the blood drip into the clear water in the basin, dyeing it blood red. As the blood dripped, he muttered something to himself.
"...Hide it..."
As Edward spoke, the entire Mon Carlo Island began to change. The invisible spiritual mist that originally shrouded Junhai Castle began to expand suddenly, spreading rapidly in all directions and began to cover the urban area of Mon Carlo.
At the same time, the waves in the sea around Mon Carlo Island began to become extremely turbulent and violent. The surging waves shook the ships moored at the port up and down, and the whole Mon Carlo seemed as if a storm was coming.
At this moment, above the sea outside Mon Carlo, a small object was floating in the night. Dorothy was sitting on her magnetically levitated flying carpet, looking at the distant Mon Carlo Island.
"Edward's side... has already started..."
Using her spiritual vision to look at the island of Mon Carlotta, which was completely shrouded in spiritual fog, Dorothy could not help but murmur. At this time, she knew that Mon Carlotta had begun to look for the thief who dared to steal his precious fountain of youth, and this was exactly what Dorothy wanted to see.
After reading the dreams of the auction house registrar and Tony last night, Dorothy got the answer to a question that had been bothering her for a long time, which was how would Sword Scale trade the Fountain of Youth to Edward after he confirmed that Vanya was indeed planted with the seed of corruption?
From Tonik's memory, Dorothy knew that Jianlin would never trade the Fountain of Youth with Edward in person, and would definitely set the transaction method to be in a form where he would always be in motion. From the memory of the auction house registrar Allen, Dorothy learned that Jianlin and his team would try to put the holy emblem jewelry used to test Vanya's reaction at the front of the auction, and there was another item that was required to be placed two or three places behind the holy emblem jewelry, and this item was a small bottle.
After learning these two clues, Dorothy quickly guessed the transaction form of Jianlin's plan, which was to continue the characteristics of the auction and auction the Fountain of Youth to Edward. They only needed to create another fake identity, auction another item after the Holy Emblem Necklace, and after Jianlin verified Vanya, he could decide whether to put the Fountain of Youth up for auction based on the situation. There was still a considerable period of time between the auction of the Holy Emblem Necklace and the crystal bottle. This period of time was enough for Jianlin to retreat with all his men except Thornick, so that Edward would not have any chance to cheat after he took the Fountain of Youth.
This... was the transaction method that Jian Lin had envisioned. To be honest, for him, who highly distrusted Edward, the former traitor of Haiyuan, this was a method that could ensure that he would not be cheated. As long as the plan was not leaked, he and Edward could both get what they wanted. But unfortunately, after Dorothy got the help of the little fox, her intelligence ability had an amazing leap. Using Lauran, who only knew a little information, as a breakthrough point, Dorothy managed to scout out their entire plan, making it impossible for both parties to achieve their desired goals.
Since Jianlin would send the Fountain of Youth to the auction house after confirming that Vanya was fine, Dorothy only needed to let Vanya act and bid for the holy emblem necklace to deceive Jianlin, and then get the Fountain of Youth from the auction house.
Among the staff at the first half of tonight's auction, quite a few were living puppets controlled by Dorothy. Dorothy first asked the little fox to help hypnotize them, then drew puppet marks on them and controlled them. While working, she waited for Jian Lin's men to deliver the Fountain of Youth. Afterwards, she secretly wiped off the puppet marks in crowded places to release the control, causing these staff members to suddenly fall down in full view of everyone. Later, Mon Carlo Extraordinary could find out that they were all in a state of hypnotized sleep after a quick check.
After that, Dorothy only had to wait for Edward to discover the problem with the Fountain of Youth, and then when looking for the cause, he would notice the situation of the staff in the first half, and he would naturally associate it with the direction Dorothy wanted him to associate it with.
㱗In this era of decline of the Butterfly Sect, the only association related to sleep and dreams that is still active in the secret world is his Black Dream Hunter Group.
"Well... now let me see if the rumor that you can find an extraordinary person who has reached the Red Formation Stage 'Shadow' is true..."
Looking at the Mon Carlo Island ahead which was gradually shrouded by the white fog, Dorothy continued to murmur.
…
"Congratulations! The guest in Box 2 has bought the treasure from the Lost Sea, the Black Moon Amulet, for 213,000 francs! This is the highest price record of this auction!"
At the auction in Huanlang Theater, with the hammer falling in the hands of the female host, the No. 24 treasure on the stand was announced to be successfully auctioned. Because the price of this transaction was very high, the host's originally indifferent tone became high in the second half, and the originally small audience also burst into sparse applause because of this price. You have to know that this price has increased several times compared to the starting price. More than 200,000 yuan can already be equivalent to more than 10,000 pounds of ordinary pounds.
After the scattered applause, the man with dark circles under his eyes standing in box number 12 couldn't help but smile. Just as he was about to go through the formalities to pay the money and get the goods, he suddenly noticed something unusual around him.
At some point, he noticed that the railings of the stands were covered with tiny water droplets, and the floor of the entire box was wet, as if the surroundings had suddenly become humid on a tidal day.
The sudden rise in tide in the middle of the night...is it suitable for the climate here?
This doubt emerged in the mind of the man with dark circles under his eyes… or should I say emerged in the mind of the woman with dark circles under his eyes. Far away from the venue of the Huanlang Theater, on the second floor of an ordinary house on the edge of Mon Carlo city, a man with a different appearance was frowning at this moment.
He was a white man who looked to be in his fifties, with round eyes, a thin build, neatly streaked white hair, and obvious wrinkles on his face. At this moment, he was wearing a black suit, staring at the window in front of him, where the smooth glass was covered with a thick fog at some point.
With a serious look on his face, the man stretched out his hand and gently touched the window, which made his hands quite wet. Looking at the obvious signs of moisture on the floor and the wall, his gaze became even more focused.
These waters... seem to carry traces of spirituality...
Seeing the strange thing in front of him, the man felt a little uneasy. Then he began to control the puppet in the distance to pay for the things he had just bid, while he quickly went downstairs and prepared to leave.
But when the man walked to the door and pushed it open, the scene and people that appeared in front of him startled him.
Thick fog, white fog completely enveloped the street in front of us, making it difficult to see. The street lights turned into dim halos under the cover of the thick fog. At a glance, the visibility around was only about two or three meters. It was obvious that such a sudden fog was definitely not formed naturally.
"Water mist... Spiritual water... What happened underneath...?"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Ku Chi murmured in confusion. At this moment, there was a pair of hidden eyes in the thick fog, staring at him intently.
…
Um... I couldn't help but sleep for four hours today...
