Chapter 543: Glimpse

Someone is coming in!

Li put the things back in place as quickly as possible, then rushed out of the secret room, turned the porcelain bottle, extinguished the candle, and finally rushed under the bed. The whole action was done in one go, and it took less than five breaths.

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

Even Li swallowed his saliva.

If she was a step slower, she would probably be hit.

But the auction would last at least an hour, and she should have enough time. Why did the owner of the room come back suddenly?

Through the narrow gap under the bed, she could see that there were two people entering the room. Although she couldn't see their upper bodies, judging from the size of their boots and the heaviness of their steps, one of them should be Azier Lumen.

"This is outrageous!" After the fire was relit, Azier's voice soon sounded - from the heavy slamming of the door, it can be seen that his mood is definitely not very good, "Who is that guy? How dare he tease me at the Holy Palace auction! Even the royal family of Shira would not show such an attitude!"

"The highest bidder wins, isn't that what auctions are like?" another person replied. Judging from the voice, this person is a male, about 30 to 40 years old, and his words are slightly hoarse. "Besides, you also got the eighth item."

"The problem is that it's 20,000 gold kern!" Azier's tone became gritted, "I didn't intend to take it! I raised it to 20,000 just to see how capable he is, but he actually gave up the bid. What kind of behavior is this if not a provocation? The people in the entire Holy Wing Islands who dare to do this to me can be counted on one hand!"

Li couldn't help shaking his ears - it seems that the other party encountered an unexpected opponent, and was so angry that he left temporarily?

"No, this matter can't be let go!" Azier said bitterly, "If I let this masked guy leave the Azure Castle safely, I'm afraid I will become a laughing stock among all my colleagues. You have to help me solve this problem!"

"How to solve it?"

"It's impossible for him to have so much money alone. I can leave the things he photographed and those properties, but his people must stay in the Azure Castle forever." Azier walked back and forth, "The money is not damaged, and the forces behind him can be explained. At most, I will give him another pension. But those who openly oppose me must pay the price!"

"What if he is a noble?"

"Are you afraid of the Dragonborn?"

The man was silent for a moment and hummed, "Well, if this matter can be handled, it's not impossible to help you solve him at the same time."

"Then I'll trouble you."

Hearing this, Li couldn't help but feel a little surprised - she thought the man was Azier's confidant or personal guard at first, but the conversation between the two did not seem to have such a relationship. Rather than saying it was a master and servant, it was more like a collaborator.

Suddenly, the man changed the subject, "Wait, there is a message coming over there."

"Now?" Azier asked.

"Yes, use the dimensional mirror, my teacher has something to tell you."

"I know." He walked to the table, and then the familiar sound of gears biting came from under the table.

Li saw the glass cabinet wall open to both sides again.

The two then walked into the secret room.

There was a gap in the room where no one was watching, and now was undoubtedly the best time to leave. Moreover, Li also felt that her energy was running out. Considering that it would take a lot to return to the place where she stayed, staying here for a long time might produce more variables, but the sentence "there is a message coming" made her hesitate.

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

After thinking it over again and again, she quietly moved to the side, 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 the fruit garden standing in front of the mirror. Unfortunately, the man never appeared in her field of vision.

Soon, Li spied an incredible scene!

The mirror no longer showed Azier himself, but became turbid, and the smooth mirror surface looked like a surging sea wave. They kept rising and falling, and emitted a dim light. After about half a quarter of an hour, the bulges and depressions actually formed a roughly human face!

"Good evening, Lord Shadow." Azier touched his chest and saluted, lowering his strong body slightly. It was hard to tell that he was the same person as the local snake who was full of murderous intent just now.

"Shiqihang has a new task for you." The face opened his mouth, and a turbid voice came out of the mirror, "One day later, our guest will visit your mansion. What you have to do is to provide him with as much help as possible and meet all his needs."

Li realized that this was a remote communication instrument!

In the Holy Wing Islands, the air sensor also invented something similar to the sound transmitter-it was through it that Lord Shadow conveyed instructions to Azier outside the Holy Palace!

This undoubtedly greatly increased the difficulty of anti-tracking.

"Everything?" Azier's tone revealed a hint of difficulty, "Sir, the church's trial committee is now in the city. I am worried that if I do too much, they will target me."

Church Tribunal?

Li's ears suddenly stood up.

Why would they suddenly mention the power of the church at this time?

If Azier was just a wealthy businessman who owned many businesses, and if he wanted to deal with just a fellow bidder, it should have nothing to do with the church.

And who is the "guest" who came to visit? Why does Azier need to treat him so carefully?

"It doesn't matter." The mirror spoke slowly again, "He will also take this into consideration when he makes a request, so just do it. Once this is done, it will be of great benefit to you and me. Most people in this world are still in a daze, 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.

Azier stood up and let out a long breath.

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

Just as Azier was about to leave the secret room, his bald brows suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong?" The other man also stopped.

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

"Order? What order?"

"The order of these letters." 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?"

Azier nodded, "I shouldn't remember it wrong."

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

The next moment, a string of rapid spells were spit out, and dozens of shining sword shadows appeared in the air in an instant. The man raised his hand and pressed it, and the sword shadows fell like a rainstorm, piercing the bed board!

Finally back, starting to update twice a day tomorrow~~
