Chapter 1247: Leave a way out

It is unknown how many auctions the Deep Devil has held so far. Basically, it is held once a year, but Alyssa is unlikely to come every year. Even her grandfather, Mr. James, a frequent visitor, basically comes every two or three years.

However, this place is very clear about the people. Your status here depends not only on how much money you have, but also on your influence outside.

A great hero-level figure like Mr. James of the Swirling Water Federation is the most distinguished guest in the eyes of the Deep Devil. It doesn't matter if he has no money. His reputation is much more valuable than simple gold coins.

"Please sit down. It's estimated that the auction will start in a while."

Alyssa noticed that there were not many people coming down, which meant that they came too early and might have to wait for several hours.

She sat down on the sofa without any scruples, and took the bottle of wine in the ice bucket on the coffee table and looked at it:

"Alan Star Chain's premium wine, the Deep Diving Devil's taste is still as good as ever."

Fang Lanyin's hometown, Alan Star Chain, has only recently started to grow grapes. Although the wine is of excellent quality, it is not well-known. For now, only the top gourmets know about it.

This is why Fang Lanyin feels that the wine from Kexing City is just swill. She has been spoiled by good wine since she was a child.

Speaking of Fang Lanyin, she finally asked the question she had always wanted to ask:

"Boss, do you have a grudge against that guy named Cindy?"

"I don't think there is a grudge, but it's not certain what he thinks."

Alyssa shrugged and explained:

"Cindy is a nouveau riche who has only appeared in recent years. I remember that he made his fortune by reselling ore. He has been trying to enter the real upper class society to stabilize his business. But you also know that every circle has its own entry threshold. Nouveau riche like Cindy are not welcome, so he is particularly keen on the auction of the Deep Diving Devil, relying on rare collections to open the threshold of the upper class."

Alyssa handed the bottle to Sofia, who didn't use a corkscrew at all. She pulled the cork off with her bare hands, sniffed it in front of her nose, and then went to get the glass with a smile.

She likes this.

Alyssa continued:

"In the past, the collections this guy targeted were all historical artifacts, but he and my grandfather also like artifacts. He couldn't compete with us, so he chose to change to more perverted biological collections. Don't be fooled by his powerful words, in fact, he should not pose a threat to us."

As she said, Alyssa looked at Eunice who was sitting on the side:

"The premise is that our target is not some biological collection."

She took the opportunity to point at Eunice. We are already here, so we should know what we are looking for, right?

Eunice has always been tight-lipped about this matter, not revealing a word.

And Eunice, who was pointed at, shrugged:

"I only know that it may be on the list, but I am not 100% sure, and I can't say what it is unless I see it."

Alyssa thought for a while:

"Did the royalists ask you to sign a magic contract?"

"Yes, the most severe magic contract."

No wonder she didn't say a word. If it was the influence of the contract, it would explain it.

After all, there is no need to hide what you are looking for from Alyssa. It can only be said that this thing is extremely important to the royalists, so important that no news can be leaked, especially not to the Republic government, otherwise it will be very troublesome.

Eunice and the royalists are in a cooperative relationship, but cooperation also has prerequisites. The royalists cannot completely trust Eunice, an intelligence dealer. God knows whether she will sell this thing to make a big profit.

"Is there a bathroom here?"

"Of course."

Alyssa pointed to the door on the other side, and waited for Eunice to go in and make sure that she could not hear the sound outside. Alyssa said to others:

"I still don't trust her very much, and what the royalists are looking for is probably what the Republic government is looking for. I feel that something may happen at this auction, so you all should be careful."

No one can trust an intelligence dealer with confidence. This has nothing to do with signing a magic contract or not. There are ways to circumvent the contract through word games.

The best and most assured way to cooperate with intelligence dealers is to take money. You give me information and I give you money, and everyone is clear.

Alyssa reached out and knocked on the coffee table, and a cylindrical object rose up, and a screen appeared on one side of the column.

This is a terminal, and you can use it to contact the Deep Diving Devil's waiter if you need anything.

Alyssa looked back at Long, and Long shook his head tacitly:

"As usual, I didn't find any hidden cameras."

No one is monitoring, so it's easy to say. Alyssa took out the boot disk from her arms and put it on the terminal.

A few seconds later, the terminal showed the words "Creation Machine. God Crystal Initialization Completed".

"Can you take over?"

"Don't worry, I'm trying."

Li Chengxi said, and then added:

"Don't say, this ghost place is quite big."

With this sentence as a foundation, Alyssa was relieved.

No matter what Eunice is looking for, and no matter if someone will come out to make trouble during this process, as long as Li Chengxi controls the Deep Diving Devil's facilities through the terminal, this is Alyssa's biggest trump card, even in the worst case, it can help everyone escape.

Alyssa was willing to come, not because of her friendship with Eunice, but because after helping the royalists, they would cooperate with the Whirlwater Federation to attack the Red Maple Republic Fleet. After this matter was over, there was a more important battle waiting.

–--——----

The Deep Diving Devil is located more than ten kilometers under the ice. Everyone will be searched when they come in to ensure that they are not carrying dangerous goods and weapons. Even people with supernatural abilities such as psychics are not allowed to enter to ensure that the staff can control the situation.

This sounds safe, but on the other hand, the Deep Diving Devil is also a huge cage. As long as the elevator is blocked, no one can walk out of here alive.

In the past, Alyssa didn't have to worry about this problem. After all, the Deep Diving Devil has a good reputation, and Alyssa used to come as a pure guest. The situation was still stable at the time, so there was no need to think too much.

But now it's different. The first and second brothers on the list of the Star Cluster Alliance are fighting. The ripples caused by the fight between the giant beasts are fatal to each organization, not to mention individuals.

The Deep Diving Devil is doing this at this time, and at the border between the Red Maple Republic and the Swirling Water Federation. I always feel unsure.

Alyssa vaguely feels that there may be problems with this auction, and it is better to prepare early than to be at a loss when something really happens.

From this point, it can be seen that although Alyssa always thinks that Li Chengxi's unauthorized actions give her a headache, she also relies on Li Chengxi's help.

——Why does it feel like he is being honest but saying one thing and doing another.
