Chapter 1247 Leave a way out
I don’t know how many auctions of the Devil of Darkness have been held so far. They are basically held once a year, but Alyssa is unlikely to come every year, even her grandfather James As a frequent visitor, my husband basically only comes here every two or three years.
However, this place is very clear about who you choose. Your status here depends not only on how much money you have, but also on your influence outside.
A great hero of the Spinning Water Federation like Mr. James is the most distinguished guest in the eyes of the Deep Diving Devil. It doesn't matter if you don't have money, his reputation is much more valuable than a simple gold coin.
"Feel free to sit down, the auction won't start for some time."
Alyssa noticed that there were not many people coming down, which meant that they came early and might have to wait for several hours.
She sat on the sofa without any scruples, picked up the wine bottle in the ice bucket on the coffee table and looked at it:
"Alan Star Chain's fine wine, Deep Diving Devil's taste is still as good as ever."
Fang Lanyin's hometown, Alan Star Chain, has only recently started planting grapes. Although the wine is of excellent quality, it is not well-known. For now, only top-class gourmets know about it.
This is why Fang Lanyin feels like swill when she drinks wine from Ke Xingcheng. Her tongue has been developed by good wine since she was a child.
When it came to Fang Lanyin, she finally asked the question she had always wanted to ask:
"Boss, do you have any grudge against that guy named Cindy?"
"I don't think there is any grudge, but it's not necessarily what he thinks."
Alyssa shrugged and explained:
"Cindy is a nouveau riche who has only started to appear in recent years. I remember he made his fortune by reselling ore. He has been trying to find a way to enter the real upper class society to stabilize his business. But you also know that there are people in every circle. Regarding his own entry threshold, nouveau riche like Cindy are not favored, so he is particularly keen on diving into devil's auctions and relying on rare collections to open the door to the upper class. "
Alyssa handed the bottle to Sophia, who didn't use a corkscrew at all. She simply took off the cork with her bare hands, brought it to her nose and smelled it, and then went to get the cup with a smile on her face.
That's what she likes.
Alyssa continued: "In the past, the collections this guy targeted were cultural relics with a long history, but my grandfather and I also like cultural relics. He couldn't compete with us, so he chose to change to a more perverted biological collection. You Despite what he says, he actually doesn't pose a threat to us."
As she said that, Alyssa looked at Eunice sitting on one side:
"The premise is that our target is not a biological collection."
She took the opportunity to click on Eunice. Now that she's in the damn place, it's time to let us know what she's looking for, right?
Eunice has always been tight-lipped about this matter, not revealing even a word.
Eunice, who was pointed out, shrugged:
"I just know it's probably on the list, I'm not 100 percent sure, and what it is, I can't say until I see it."
Alyssa thought for a while:
"The royalists asked you to sign a magical contract?"
"Yes, the most severe magical contract."
No wonder she didn't say a word. If it was due to the influence of the contract, it would be explained.
After all, there is no need to hide what he is looking for from Alyssa. It can only be said that this thing is extremely important to the royalists. It is too important to let any news leak, especially not to let the government of the Republic know, otherwise it will be very troublesome.
Eunice and the royalists have a cooperative relationship, but there are preconditions for cooperation. The royalists cannot completely trust Eunice, an information dealer. Who knows if she will sell this matter for a big profit.
"Are there bathrooms?"
"Of course." Alyssa pointed to the door on the other side. After Eunice went in and confirmed that she couldn't hear the noise outside, Alyssa said to the others:
"I still don't trust her very much, and what the royalists are looking for is probably what the government of the Republic is looking for. I feel like something might go wrong at this auction, so be careful."
No one can safely trust an information dealer. This has nothing to do with signing a magic contract or not. There are many ways to circumvent the contract through word games.
The best and most secure way to cooperate with intelligence dealers is to get money. You give me the information and I give you the money, and everyone is clear.
Alyssa reached out and knocked on the coffee table, and a cylindrical thing rose immediately, and a screen appeared on one side of the pillar.
This is a terminal through which you can contact the waiter of the Devil Deep if you need anything.
Alyssa looked back at Long, who shook his head tacitly and said:
"As usual, I found no hidden cameras."
It was easy to say that no one was watching. Alyssa took out the startup disk from her arms and placed it on the terminal.
After a few seconds, the words "Creation Machine. Divine Crystal Initialization Completed" appeared on the terminal.
"Can you take over?"
"Don't worry, I'm trying."
Li Chengqi said, and then added: "Don't tell me, this ghost place is quite big."
With these words as the foundation, Alyssa felt relieved.
No matter what Eunice is looking for, or whether someone will cause trouble in the process, as long as Li Chengqi controls the deep-diving devil's facilities through the terminal, this is Alyssa's biggest trump card, even if Even in the worst case scenario, it can help everyone escape.
Alyssa is willing to come here not because of her friendship with Eunice, but because after helping the royalists, they will cooperate with the Spinning Water Federation to launch an attack on the Red Maple Republic fleet. After this matter is over, there will be more important things A big battle awaits.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
The Deep Diving Devil is located more than ten kilometers deep under the ice. Everyone will be searched when they come in to make sure they are not carrying dangerous goods or weapons. Even people with supernatural abilities such as psykers are not allowed in to ensure that the staff can control the situation. .
This sounds very safe, but on the other hand, the Deep Devil is also a huge cage. As long as the elevator is blocked, no one can get out of here alive.
In the past, Alyssa didn't have to worry about this problem. After all, Diving Devil's reputation was very good, and Alyssa used to come as a pure guest. The situation at that time was still stable, so there was no need to think too much.
But now it's different. The first brother and the second brother in the Star Alliance are fighting. The ripples caused by the battle between the giant beasts will have a fatal impact on various organizations, not to mention individuals.
The Deep Diving Devil is doing this at this time, and on the edge of the border between the Red Maple Republic and the Spinning Water Federation, so he always feels unsure.
Alyssa vaguely felt that something might go wrong at this auction, so it would be better to prepare early than to be blinded if something really happened.
It can be seen from this that although Alyssa always thinks that Li Chengqi's unauthorized actions give her a headache, she also relies heavily on Li Chengqi's help.
