The woman looked into the room for a few times, and her eyes were quickly fixed on the painting in front of Arnold, and she did not move away for a long time.

"Since ancient times, young people have been born. This sentence is indeed true. You are the new generation of Foley!" The woman ran over with a long skirt and said excitedly: "Genius, this painting is for you.

To sell or not?”

Everyone in the Hidden Temple stood motionless as if they had been hit by a restraining spell. The same thing was that their eyes were fixed on the woman. The woman seemed to have realized something. She coughed twice, pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "

Forgot to introduce myself. I am the owner of Bi'an Art Museum, Man Zhuhua."

After saying that, Manzhuhua pointed at Arnold's painting that looked like a real person with his white jade finger, and said: "Genius, please give me a price, if..."

"Ahem, that was my reservation, I'm sorry." Grint hurriedly stopped in front of Manjuhua and said with a smile.

Manzhuhua's face froze, she retracted her hand in embarrassment, and then smiled.

"Who is Foley?" Ranaya suddenly asked.

As soon as Ranaya finished asking, she saw some slight changes in Arnold's expression, while Manjuhua looked at Ranaya with an expression of disbelief, "You don't even know about Foley? The most famous person in the seventh century

A great painter! People all over the world know how you..."

"I haven't read much, I'm sorry." Ranaya said with a smile.

At this time, Grint secretly moved next to Lanaya and whispered: "You don't read enough?"

Lanaya gave Grint a look that made him hate steel, and then said through her mind: "You know."

Grint's eyes widened slightly, and then he slowly turned his head away, pretending to be inadvertent, as if he was suddenly enlightened.

Manzhuhua's expression became a little regretful again, and she sighed: "Speaking of Foley, I really don't know what the point is of continuing to open this art museum. One of his masterpieces, "The Catastrophe of Thunder" was released in a few years.

It was stolen by a group of thieves the day before. Hey... I don't know how they have such great ability to destroy the protective barrier placed around the painting that no one can shake. That's an original work! It's nothing.

Replica, just give it like this..."

"Did you see those thieves?" Ranaya asked.

At this time, Ted, who was sitting, also stood up from his stool and walked towards them.

"To be precise, I didn't see them when they were stealing. But in important painting exhibition places, there are memory crystals that record the movement in the room. From there, I saw the magical images at that time. There were many of them, among them

There was a woman who didn't know what she had done to the painting, so she just took it off and put it into a storage ring."

"No one stopped them?"

"We are no match for them at all." Manzhuhua felt helpless when he said this.

Ranaya frowned and then asked: "Have you heard of them before? I mean... do you know their origins?"

"I don't know." Manzhuhua slowly shook his head, "If I knew, I would definitely hire some powerful mercenaries to search for their whereabouts. That painting is the soul of this art museum! But now..."

"I think... there's nothing I can do to help you." Lanaya said with sympathy.

They just met the gang of thieves, and although they almost wiped them all out, the most important leader escaped! Thinking about it carefully, the negligence in this matter should still be blamed on Lanaya, if she hadn't put it in the first place

Since the Holy Light Stone was given to Kored, is it possible that the Forge Pavilion gang would suddenly break in when they least should?

"You can't say that. You are guests. It is my honor to come here to visit. Besides, there is a painter among you who will become famous in the future... isn't it?" Manzhuhua glanced at Arnold's face.

Painting, a wry smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

There were sounds of people coming up the stairs from far away outside the room. The servant opened the door eagerly, and his chest was rising and falling slightly. It seemed that she had run a short distance just now.

"You are so rude when you have guests here?" Manzhuhua frowned slightly.

"Master, there is good news!" A hint of apology flashed in the servant's delighted smile, but it quickly recovered. It is difficult to hide the joy in the hearts of teenagers.

"What?"

"That painting "Thunder Catastrophe"...it is said that someone saw it in the auction preview hall!"

"What?!"

Everyone exclaimed in unison.

"When will the auction be held? Why haven't I heard anything about it?" Man Zhuhua still can't believe this fact. Now it's better to confirm it further. Logically speaking, a city as big as Moye City will hold an auction.

If so, the city-wide publicity would have been carried out in the past few days, and even the surrounding cities and regions would have been widely advertised. But this time it happened quietly and suddenly appeared, which is really strange.

"It will open soon today."

"Are you sure this news is true?"

"That should be the case... This time it was said that it was jointly organized by the Forging Pavilion and the Alchemy Room, and the auction items were also very..."

Before Manzhuhua could wait for the servant to finish speaking, he pushed him aside with one hand and rushed out of the room.

"Master!" the servant shouted from behind Manzhuhua. He stretched out his hand halfway, then dropped it weakly. Then he turned around and said apologetically to everyone: "I'm really sorry, I have to take over temporarily now."

Take a look at this art gallery. If you need any help, you can call the people who are dressed similar to me." After that, she left in a hurry.

"What about us?" Arnold asked.

Ranaya walked over, took off the painting on Arnold's easel, quickly rolled it into a tube and stuffed it into Arnold's hand, and said sternly: "We must not let Manjuhua reach the destination before us.

"

"I agree." Ted said: "I think there must be something wrong with the two major associations they mentioned, the Foundry Pavilion and the Alchemy Room!"

"It's just as I thought." Lanaya nodded, "They used famous paintings as bait, not to lure the owner of the art museum, but... us."

Grint listened to their conversation without saying a word, and a few rays of agility gradually lingered on everyone's feet.

"So we are really obedient and delivered to the door?" Zhuo Weini smiled incredulously.

"There are always more good people than bad people in the world." Lanaya said with a smile: "You don't know much yet, so let me introduce you. Mr. Creed is the master of casting in our place. I know who he is.

Besides, he has a son who is the president of the Casting Pavilion, and he directly subdued the strongest leader among the thieves at noon, so we don’t need to be afraid of anything!"

Grint made an expression of sudden realization. Lanaya had often mentioned to her that her weapon-making teacher was the Koredd whom Lanaya had mentioned. Now it seems that this person has quite a reputation.

"What are you going to do?" Zhuo Weini asked.

"Of course I grabbed it." Lanaya narrowed her eyes slightly, "Do you know there is a lingering force? It seems to be called Deadly Night Shadow."

"It seems that I have to agree with your approach." Zhuo Weini forced a few laughs, but in fact, her eyes were already bursting with fire. The group she was in before was shattered by the deadly night shadow. Now that the opportunity has come, this time

How can you not avenge yourself?!

Several figures jumped out of the studio in unison like lightning. The curtains fluttered slightly, and there was a gentle breeze outside the window. It was almost dusk, and the sky was dyed purple, with a few wisps of ink clouds floating in the sky.

Manzhuhua arrived at the door of the auction with ease. Even though she did not have the strength to push through the crowds blocking the way, her clothes showed her noble status at all times, and everyone made way for her to make way for her.

"I never knew this was the case." Manzhuhua muttered. This time, as before, there were surprisingly many people coming, and there was a mix of good and bad, with high and low status. It was very lively.

Suddenly, someone tightly covered Manzhuhua's mouth and nose from behind. Manzhuhua was suddenly startled and quickly reacted to hit the attacker behind her with her elbow. However, when she reacted, the person on her body was

My strength was getting weaker and weaker, and in the end I just felt that my eyes were going dark, and I didn't know anything anymore.

…

In the auction venue, Lanaya sat down relatively close to the exit and checked the positions of the others again through a veil.

At Ranaya's request, all of them put on different masks, changed out of the clothes they wore today, and sat in various places in the venue, looking for Manjuhua. During the auction, wearing masks

There are actually quite a few people who do this. Although they may attract some people's attention, they can ultimately hide their identity.

There was still a short period of time before the auction started, and they had already looked around the entire venue. The information Ranaya got from the ring was that they could not find where Manjuhua was. But Ranaya was in the front row.

I saw a few familiar figures on my seat, two of them were definitely Korede and Willy, and the others might have just been seen once.

Now that Kored can rest assured that Willy will hand over the Scepter of Holy Light to them, Lanaya has also ruled out the worst possibility. Kored and Willy are not part of this fishing operation! Now

She wanted to ask Korede if he knew the inside story, but she suddenly remembered that their rings had not recognized each other yet!

In this way, it would be too obvious if he got up and went to find Kored directly!

Frowning slightly, Lanaya continued to look to the side. The other end of the front row should be the people in the alchemy room, but they were too far apart, and there were people walking around from time to time blocking her view. She couldn't see clearly.

The situation of people on the periphery.

At this time, a waiter came in from the side door carrying a full plate of black tea. Ranaya stood up and walked towards him, pointed to the direction of Korede with an inconspicuous gesture, and pointed to his ear.

He whispered something, then took out a silver coin and stuffed it into his pocket.

The waiter frowned and seemed a little hesitant. Maybe he felt that Ranaya didn't look like a good person with her veil covered, but in the end he made a reluctant expression, nodded, and walked to the front row.
Chapter completed!
