Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Chapter 6. Ruby Mask (3)

That's why the bid I'm calling now was important. How much will I lose the will to fight?

Meanwhile, the Black Mask shouts a second loudly.

“3.5 million. Is there any more?”

One more shout and the auction is over, and the Grand Marquis Grindelle receives her bid.

Elisha quickly said the bid, and as the story continues, the Black Mask shouts.

“367 only. 367 only! ”

At the same time, the Grand Marquis Grindelle shakes her head as if she were falling.

“That little one! ”

The Grand Marquis cried out in bitterness, but the sound could not have been heard from the other. 367M argen. Of course, you can pay more there. The question is, if so, how does the opponent appear? And given the current situation, the situation can never be won.

“One of these days, if I get it right, I'll never let it go! ”

Earl Grindelle gets up from the path and leaves the room.

At that time, Elisha checked the room where the man in the white mask had been.

“Is it now?”

I saw the man rise up. If not now, the opportunity to meet him had to wait a long time.

Leaving the room in a hurry, Elisha makes a hasty ascent up the stairs without waiting for Maid's guidance.

Each room in the auction house had a different entrance, not just a location. It was a measure designed to protect the secrets of the bidders and avoid bumping into each other.

However, after a long investigation, Elisha was able to find all the entrances.

‘I need to think about this place for a bit. ’

Lycaen, the man in the white mask, frowns and mutters to himself.

The way Raul thought of it was a secret auction. A secret auction house is an illegal auction house, so the identity of the person entrusting the item is not important and only sees the value of the item. Even if something like that gets loose, it's easy to hide the identity, and even if something goes wrong, you can avoid a trace.

Lycaen gave her permission because it wasn't a bad way, and from then on she began investigating secret auctions on different continents.

There are eight secret auctions.

Lycaen unloaded the items sequentially in those eight places and funded them.

And for the first time today, I came to the auction house myself. It was to check the situation of the auction house, as well as to see what was going on. Seeing that the territory could be compromised, I had to move by myself.

But I didn't like the first impression. It is because of the lion mask that is lying around with the woman.

It may seem odd to ask that at an illegal secret auction house, but Lycaen seems to have a problem. It's because he's beyond what he thinks.

Anyway, Riccianne's final bid was 3.67 million argens. With a 5% fee from the auction house, the final entry is around 3.49 million. Of course, I don't take the money directly. There is someone else who will do it.

It was time for Lycaen, who went up the stairs to the ground, to board the wagon.

“Wait!”

Lycaen turns his head to the sound of flaws as he hears a sudden sound.

“Well, what about you? ”

The woman in the ruby mask on the right side of the room at the auction house.

Lycaen was not the only one surprised by her appearance. Not only were the masks guarding the entrance, but the horseman who was waiting for Lycaen was dumbfounded.

Once used, the passageway can never be changed. In other words, whoever it was had to know only one path. However, I'm surprised that the person who was in the auction house showed up at the entrance of another place.

While one of the masked men guarding the entrance rushed down to the basement, Elisha told Lycaen.

“I'd like to talk to you for a moment... Can you spare a moment?" ”

“Can we talk about hiding our faces in the middle of the night? ”

“Hmph! It's not a problem to show your face. But it's a little tricky here. ”

“Okay. Let's hear it. That's the story. ”

“Hehe, shall we go? ”

Elisha boards the wagon prepared for Lycaen first, then Lycaen. Lycaen said to the wagon, standing still, not knowing what to do.

“Let's get going. ”

“Yes, yes! I understand!”

The wagon quickly closes the wagon door and climbs into the passenger seat. The wagon leaves, and Lycaen opens her mouth first.

“You can't use this auction house anymore. ”

“It doesn't matter. I wasn't planning on coming here anymore. ”

“Hmm... What does that mean? ”

“If not, the security is poor and the secrets are about to leave soon, so I was going to cut a deal. ”

“You have eyes. ”

Meanwhile, the wagon recounts the path it took to turn the narrow alleyways. After a long run, the wagon stopped on the southern highway of Rabitan.

“I'm Elisha Polden. ”

Elisha gives out her name in fear of leaving the wagon. At the same time, you remove Ruby's mask from your face.

“Hmm!"

Lycaen was surprised to see his mask peeled off and his face revealed.

Dark brown hair with moderate curvature, round face, large eyes, and a small nose and mouth. When he thought about going to the secret auction house, he looked quite young. Moreover, the small height and small figure that only came up to the jaw of Riyaen made the young face even younger.

Elisha smiles strangely when she sees him.

“A young face is my complex, and I'm a little offended when I surprise you like that. ”

Then Lycaen nods, clearing his breath.

“I see.”

“But are you going to keep that visible white mask on? ”

“If I see my face, I might die. ”

Lycaen said with all his heart: If I find myself exposed and there is a risk of exposure, I intend to remove it without hesitation. Nevertheless, Elisha smiled and said.

“Hmph! If you want to kill something, you can kill it... But first we have to hear the whole story." ”

It came out like this, but it was also vague to keep the mask on. Lycaen said, taking off his mask as if he had no choice.

“You have to be the one to take responsibility for what you say. ”

“Hehe, don't worry about that. Wow! He's so handsome! ”

Elisha looks at Lycaen's face in wonder.

But there was something strange about it. Lycaen's hair was brown, not silver.

This journey was to confirm the disposal of Klaus' treasure, the goods. So you have to avoid people's eyes, but his silver hair is too noticeable to dye. Of course, Elisha didn't tell me that she had never seen Riyaen before.

“It's not polite to stare people in the face like that. ”

“Hmph! So did you. Think of it as a tie. ”

“Whatever. So, what do you want to talk about? ”

“What a temper! It's a little ambiguous to talk here. Why don't you come home with me? ”

“Home?”

“I don't usually have a house here, but I've rented it for a few days, so go there. ”

“I'm not that free. ”

Lycaen shakes his head and refuses. Elisha folds her arms and glances at her.

“Then there's nothing I can do. I don't think it's appropriate to say this here.... ”

“Say it quickly! ”

Lycaen grumbles in a low voice as Elisha continues to tell her story.

“You have a bad personality, by the way. All right, let's cut to the chase. Sell me one of Klaus' goods. ”

Suddenly, a cold voice leaks out of Lycaen's mouth.

“What did you just say? ”

“Suck!”

Elisha shudders behind her shoulder without even knowing it. I felt like I was going to suffocate for the life that was gushing out of Lycaen.

Jubbuck!

As Lycaen approaches one step forward, Elisha hurriedly steps back and shouts in an urgent voice.

“Now, wait a minute! ”

Lycaen, however, does not seem to stop at all, striding toward Elisha.

Tuck!

And Elisha's back touches the wall. Somewhere there's no turning back.

Wow!

“Grrrgh!”

Lycaen, who grabbed Elisha by the collar and lifted her still, asks with a chilly gust of life from her red eyes.

“How did you know? ”

“Ugh, let go of this... Ugh! ”

However, Lycaen's grip on her collar does not make her think of a little weakness.

“How did you know? ”

“Guess, guess! ”

“Guess?”

Kuaaaaaah!

I felt more empowered by Lycaen's grip. At that moment, Elisha struggles with her limbs, feeling her breath tighten completely.

“Heave, heave! ”

“The items you unpacked at the Auction House are unrelated to Klaus. So how do you make a guess? ”

Half of what Klaus stole is unknown to the world. It's because the stolen owners kept their mouths shut to relax that they had them.

And for safety's sake, Lycaen first released them to the auction house.

So it's impossible to speculate on Klaus with those items.

At that moment, you can see the power draining from Elisha's shoulders. Lycaen had just pulled a little power out of his grasp.

“Queek, queek, queek! Cough!”

I coughed and breathed a short breath.

“Oh, how can a person be so wicked……. ”

“I would've told you if you saw my face, you could have died. ”
