Three days later, there are still a few quarters of hours until midnight.
Thick fog flooded the entire city like a tide, and the buildings were looming, like an island in the sea. The gibbous moon in the sky was obscured by clouds, and only a few faint silver lights fell. There were no pedestrians around.
The breath, the silence that seemed to have solidified, eroded the darkness.
The old station late at night looked like the skeleton of a giant from a distance. It had been abandoned a few years ago. As a matter of course, there was a no entry sign in front of the door and the entrance was blocked.
The only way is to climb over the fence in front of you. Because it is not very high, you can jump over just by relying on the strength of your legs.
"Eh-Grey?"
After Olga Marie entered the station, she turned around and looked at Gray, finding her standing there in a daze, seemingly in a trance.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, no."
Interrupted by Olga Marie's words, Gray withdrew her gaze, shook her head, and then gently climbed over the fence.
"If you feel uncomfortable, you have to tell me."
Olga Marie warned again.
"No, it's just..."
Gray hesitated to speak, perhaps because she was too sensitive. She shook her head again, threw these thoughts behind her, and talked about other things.
"Miss Olga Marie, have you ever participated in the auction of the Magic Eye Collection Train?"
"Well, I have participated in it a few times. But before, Brother Mikael took me with him. This is the first time that I represent Animusfia to participate in the auction of the Magic Eye Collection Train."
At the mention of Mikael, Olga Marie couldn't help but curl her lips.
"Really, brother, I don't know where to go to play again, leaving such troublesome things to us."
"Master, he..."
Although Gray wanted to refute, she thought about her master's usual practices and had to agree with Olga Marie's statement.
[I'm really sorry, Master...]
She apologized sincerely in her heart, and then followed Olga Marie step by step, walking through the dark passage and arriving in front of the station platform.
It seemed that someone had taken some measures to keep one or two of the gas lamps that should have been abandoned burning.
The dim light shines on the white mist. Under the neat stone arches, several figures stand in twos and threes. Their clothes are also very characteristic of the times. This scene makes people feel as if they have returned to a hundred years ago.
"It looks like there are quite a lot of people."
Olga Marie said softly, and then looked at the other people calmly.
"Good evening, Miss Olga Marie, Miss Grey."
Suddenly someone came over, it was someone they were familiar with.
"Good evening, Miss Lenise."
Olga Marie nodded, and then looked at the frowning young man next to Lenis.
"And Lord El-Melloi II."
El-Melloi II took a deep breath and then bowed. For some reason, his originally depressed face now looked more serious, but it was different from usual.
Wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses on his face.
Lenis smiled brightly, and the reason was naturally not because she saw her brother's depressed look.
"When everyone from Animusfia comes here, your target should be the Rainbow Magic Eye that will appear at the auction, right?"
Lenise narrowed the topic skillfully and spoke half-jokingly. She was in a good mood. Since surrendering to Animusfia, El-Melloi's life has become much better.
This way she would have more time and energy to "think about" her elder brother.
"The Demonic Eye of the Rainbow...what is that?"
Olga Marie was startled for a moment, then looked at Gray subconsciously, and found that the other person was also looking at her with a confused expression.
She did not remember that there was a rainbow-level magic eye for sale at this auction, and to be honest, if it were a rainbow-level magic eye, it would not appear so openly at the auction.
"Don't you know about this?"
Seeing the surprised expressions on the faces of Olga Marie and Gray, Lenis was stunned for a moment.
It should be said that all the magicians participating in the auction this time are going for the rainbow-level magic eye. Currently, in the entire magic world, there is only one known person who holds the rainbow-level magic eye, and that is Animus Fei
The other wife of that monarch of Asia.
It’s not like no one has thought about the rainbow-level magic eye, but in the end, not only his body was left, but even his family was razed to the ground. This poured cold water on those who coveted the magic eye.
Let them calm down.
"We have indeed not heard that there is a rainbow-level magic eye for sale at this auction. We came to the auction just because we received the invitation letter and participated as a routine."
Olga Marie admitted frankly, but then she looked at Lenis and El-Melloi II curiously, and finally her eyes fell on the seemingly ordinary pair of black-rimmed glasses.
"Those glasses are magic eyes. It seems you are well prepared."
"After all, this is the famous Magic Eye collection train."
After hearing her words, El-Melloi II pushed up his glasses and showed a helpless smile.
"High-level magic eyes are quite dangerous. Of course, you have to be fully prepared. You are lucky if your heart is paralyzed by just one glance. If you are entangled by something unseemly [forced] or [contract], you will be in danger."
It’s trouble.”
"The magic eye kill can indeed play a protective role."
Olga Marie nodded. She and Gray did not wear the Magic Eye because they had prepared other magic costumes to ensure that they would not be disturbed by the Magic Eye.
Coming to the Magic Eye Collection Train, any qualified magician will have prepared countermeasures to deal with the Magic Eye, and they are no exception.
"So El-Melloi came here because of the Demonic Eye of Rainbow?"
Olga Marie asked curiously.
"With all due respect, even if a rainbow-level magic eye does appear at the auction, El-Melloi currently does not have enough financial resources to buy it."
"How is it possible? We still have self-awareness."
Lenis sighed softly and spread her hands. Then she looked around, took out a small bag of sapphires from the bag on her waist, then took out a few of them and threw them at their feet.
The invisible barrier opens. This is the simplest soundproof barrier, which can isolate the sound inside and outside the barrier.
Feeling the sudden fluctuation of the barrier, some magicians looked here curiously. When they saw Olga Marie and the others, they shifted their attention and looked in other directions.
"We came here because we have a more important thing to do - to recover the sacred relics that were stolen by my brother. The thief who stole the sacred relics left an invitation letter, although I don't know why he did this.
