"Hehehe... I didn't expect you to be invited to participate in that "black auction", brother. "Clos Bell, in the antique shop on the backstreet, Mrs. Imelda, the grotesque owner, uttered her signature weird laugh, "And also with the young men under the old man of Yoguru—"
"So, I'm not under his..." Levi helped his forehead helplessly, facing the strange old lady in front of him, he could do nothing.
The antique shop run by Mrs. Imelda is right next to the "Rubacher" chamber of commerce. It stands to reason that such a location is actually somewhat dangerous. But I don’t know why, even President Marconi, who doesn’t know the heights of the sky, dare not provoke this queer-tempered old lady—perhaps because the old man’s status in the Closberg Underground World is very high, at least as Heliga. When I was recommended by Old Man Yoguru, saying that she had a lot of unique information, she was still surprised.
By the way, the reason why the old man Yoguru and Mrs. Imelda know each other is because Mrs. Imelda is one of the frequent customers of Yoguru workshop doll products-the small shop is full of exquisite craftsmanship. Dolls, each of the puppets does not have an explicit price, whether they will choose to sell, and at what price depends on Mrs. Imelda's mood at the time. Judging from the black market market that Heilijia has learned, Mrs. Imelda must also secretly hold some huge wealth.
Of course, these are not important things now-what Heilija is doing now is preparing for the "black auction" to dress appropriately. Heliga, who has been mainly traveling for a long time, does not have formal dresses that can only be used in such occasions. Of course, Levi does not have it-but after all, this is an international metropolis like Closberg, as long as there is money. , Everything is easy to say. Although the two people's financial resources probably cannot afford the extremely high expenses, the jewelry in the safe in the warehouse of "Rubacher" did help a lot (Levy also went to the warehouse later and reported that there was The room of the safe is now guarded, making Heliga laugh at it for a while). But after discussing with Levi, they found that the two had another need-a mask.
As we all know, some bigwigs are not happy to show their true colors in public-some are to protect privacy, some simply don't want to talk to people, some are because they are ugly or have scars-but in short, there are People with similar reasons usually choose to use gorgeous and comfortable masks to cover their cheeks. Only this strange antique shop sells such weird things.
Levi is basically a fugitive on the run-during the "association" period, he committed too many crimes all over the world, even if Liber promised not to arrest him, it does not mean that he can be free To act. As for Heliga... he still doesn't want people to be recognized at the auction, although some acquaintances will definitely find himself, but a little protection and cover-up are always right.
So there was the scene just now-when Heliga and Levi euphemistically expressed that they wanted to buy a gorgeous mask, Mrs. Imelda immediately stated their purpose, which surprised Heliga. Later When I thought about it, since she was an acquaintance of the old man Yoguru, or the controller of the hidden underground intelligence station, then it was not surprising that she knew, or could guess the truth. It's just the tone of her speech... it really feels a bit subtle.
"Take it..." During the conversation, Mrs. Imelda had already taken out two metal masks from the container at the back. "It is a finished product made by a metal research company in the Republic. It is characterized by lightness and will not crush human faces. Can't breathe. I asked someone to beautify it a little bit, which is much better than a normal mask."
"So... in terms of price..." Levi swallowed, ready to hear an amazing number.
"Forget it...Although you are young people, it seems that participating in that "auction" is not for fun, but something serious, right? "Mrs. Imelda said with a smile, and a sharp gleam flashed across that kind face, "For the sake of Yoguru...you can use it. "
"...Thank you... we would be more respectful." Heliga took the mask and nodded-for someone like Mrs. Imelda, it would be bad if you evade politely, let's talk about these two masks. What about Mira, who is really worth six figures? For her, I'm afraid it's just a wave of hands.
"Young people are very good..." Mrs. Imelda's eyes flashed a little sly. Obviously, Heliga's decisive acceptance made her a little unexpected, but after careful thinking, it made sense, "Although support Kona’s nasty children are also very interesting, but as expected they are still immature with a little mature and steady young people that make me feel more like it... Hehe, kidding... No matter in what sense, you two Calling "childish young people" despise you too much. "
"Thank you for the compliment... Madam, too. It's not bottom-out and unpredictable." Heliga gave a commercial smile, "As you said, we didn't go to the auction simply for fun. ...We will pay attention to it a little bit and try to ensure that you can have fun at the auction."
"Hehehe..." Heliga's words made Imelda happier, "This is really amazing... I looked down on you a bit before. But... Have fun... according to the information I received. Look, I feel... it’s not very likely to have fun..."
"..." Heliga didn't reply for the first time, but only showed a confused expression, but thought to himself, "Why do these old guys seem to know all of them? "Black Moon" said this at the beginning. Later, how did it feel that everyone knew that there would be problems at the "auction"..."
"Hehe, it's nothing, just treat me as an old lady." Imelda said, looking at the puzzled expression that Heilijia had put on. Heilijia could see that she didn't believe in her confusion, but understood that she too. Knowing the relevant information, "The little handsome guy over there-after you go back to that weird old man's workshop, remember to help me urge his next set of works. I was a little impatient... when Bell came last time Also say..."
"I know... but Bell?" Levi looked like it was not the first time he had dealt with Imelda, and nodded very familiarly, but he noticed a strange name, so he couldn't help asking.
"Ah...you don't know yet." Imelda said, "Mariabel Kuroys, the daughter of the chairman of "IBC", is also a fan of the weird old man's products...only that guy I have beaten me in the price offered at the doll auction. "
"It is conceivable..." Heilijia, after all, is the daughter of the largest financial conglomerate in the mainland. It is normal to have money.
"Okay, you should also set off." Imelda waved to see off the guests.
