"Hey, are you okay?" Yorko nudged No. 76 with his other foot, but she did not respond.
He sighed and moved closer to her. Then he picked up the coat that had fallen on the ground with his mouth and covered both of them.
"Forget about romance, let's just sleep like this for one night."
After experiencing so many twists and turns, he found himself unexpectedly calm. The underground auction, spending a lot of money, being the center of attention, and the witches' night attack... In just one night, he had experienced something that he had not experienced for more than 20 years.
And this thrilling and thrilling feeling was not as bad as he had imagined.
Of course, if Yorko were to experience it again, he would never agree to it.
After a sleepless night, it was already noon the next day when the people of the exhibition found them in a daze.
Yorko was then quickly moved to a spacious and comfortable room. Not only did servants bring him soft bread and freshly squeezed juice, but also maids checked him from head to toe, including the area between his legs.
At his request, Otto Luoxi, who had been waiting anxiously outside, was also taken into the karst cave.
"What happened?" Otto asked eagerly as soon as he saw the ambassador. "I heard that you were injured?"
"You can leave now." After dismissing the servants sent by "Black Money", Yorko told them the whole story. "You've really put me in a bad situation. I almost lost my life. Fortunately, they didn't kill me for my kindness and care for the witches in the auction. If it had been someone else, he would have become a cold corpse! "
Complaining was his specialty in Graycastle King's City for many years. Even if he could not get any practical benefits, he could at least earn some guilt or sympathy, which might be useful in the future. And judging from Otto's appearance, he was sure that he would not be indifferent.
As expected, the latter looked very uneasy. "This is my negligence. I'll make it up to you when we go back."
"What about the 4,000 Golden Dragon coins?"
"The witches escaped from your room, which is under the jurisdiction of" Black Money ". They probably won't deduct the bidding fee."
"Didn't you save a lot of money?" Yorko teased. "You saved the witches and didn't waste the Black Letter."
"The Black Letter will be remade every time the exhibition is held, so it's not exactly wasteful." Otto smiled helplessly. "But the Golden Dragon has been saved."
Yorko suddenly remembered what No. 76 had said in his ear.
[You only need to pay Black Money 500 Golden Dragon. "
[Sir, do you want to buy me? "
Compared to four thousand, five hundred was not that much of an exaggeration. Perhaps he could ask Otto to be generous this time? Just take it as compensation for the fright.
Yorko cleared his throat and was about to speak when the bedroom door was pushed open. A man wearing a silver mask walked in accompanied by two attendants. It was obvious that he was quite old. His dark brown hair was mixed with many silver strands. He was wearing a loose silk robe, and the pitch-black dragon head logo on his chest was particularly eye-catching.
"I'm the person in charge of this round of the exhibition. You can call me Silver Mask." He bowed slightly. "'Black Money' apologizes for what happened to you. Fortunately, you weren't hurt in this accident. We've launched an investigation into the witches' escape and will inform you as soon as we have any news. The auction price won't be deducted from the Black Letter unless we can catch the witches and you still need her by then. "
"Ahem... I understand." Yorko coughed twice. After all, it was still him who wanted to buy the witches, not Otto Luoxi, so he had to continue the show. "Don't hand her over to anyone except me. The tenth round of the auction will always be valid."
"As you wish."
"By the way, how did the people who attacked me get into the exhibition?"
"These murderers kidnapped other visitors. We've found two other victims who were robbed of their Black Letters in a house in the suburbs," Silver Mask replied.
"More than one person?"
"Yes, this was a premeditated action." He nodded. "We didn't expect the witches to have other accomplices. In other words, we didn't expect them to have the guts to attack when the King of Dawn was searching for them. Did the person who threatened you leave any clues? "
"Uh... no, she ran away when she heard that I was the ambassador of Graycastle." Yorko spread his hands. "Hasn't 'Black Money' thought of changing to a more reliable audit method? I suppose it's not the first time that people can enter just by relying on an invitation, right? "
"You're absolutely right," a burst of laughter came from under the silver mask. "But this is also the charm of 'black money'. Compared to the risk, people prefer to be able to bid for their favorite goods without revealing their identity. Of course, when we issue the Black Letter, we carefully consider each target, including the importance of the Black Letter and the ability to keep it safe. No matter who the Black Letter came from, the two victims definitely won't have another chance to get an invitation. "
"Well." Yorko shrugged. "So how did she escape from the underground? I remember there are many guards on the passage from the karst cave to the courtyard. It's impossible for her to run out with a burden. Could the criminals who sneaked in still be hiding somewhere in the underground cave, waiting for you to let your guard down? "
Silver Mask shook his head. "They crawled out through the air vents. Several iron fences were burned through, which should be caused by the witches' ability."
"Is this the escape route that Annie prepared in advance? And more than one witch participated in this rescue. It seems that Otto's efforts were in vain. " "In this case, there's no other way." Yorko pretended to change the subject inadvertently. "I wonder how my guide is doing?"
"She'll be severely punished by 'Black Money'. Protecting the distinguished guests is also a guide's responsibility. She's no longer qualified to take this position."
"Can I see her?"
"Do you mean... you want to punish her personally?"
"No." Yorko glanced at Otto. "I want to buy her."
"But she's already a sinner of 'Black Money'..." Silver Mask said hesitantly.
"500 Golden Dragon? Let's pay with the Black Letter. "
"Wait... Mr. Ambassador?" Otto was surprised. "What guide?"
Yorko pressed Otto's hand and did not answer.
Silver Mask was silent for a while and then nodded. "I see. If you insist, we'll give No. 76 to you as a gift."
"As a gift?" Yorko was stunned at first, then he was delighted.
