He hurriedly took out a small brown-covered book from his arms and explained:
"Three days ago in the evening, I saw a strange face walking out of the gate of the Swan Hotel."
He opened the small book and recalled with a slight frown:
"The unfamiliar face is a middle-aged man wearing a vest with an ordinary face."
"Actually, I was a little confused at the time because I had never seen a middle-aged man staying at the hotel. He seemed to appear out of thin air at the Siwo Hotel."
"Now that I think about it, that's probably the target in disguise!"
The young gang members sounded a little indignant, and at the same time handed Mark the notebook in which he recorded the appearance of the middle-aged man.
Mark took the brown book and didn't say anything.
Their recording mode is inherently simple and rough, and the real purpose is not to control the traveler's whereabouts in detail.
Naturally, I didn’t specifically address the situation of disguise.
Therefore, if the target deliberately disguises himself.
It is normal for young gang members not to see through it.
Opening the brown book, Mark kept in mind the original target recorded in the book, as well as the appearance information of the middle-aged man disguised as a man.
The next second, as if thinking of something, he asked again:
"The target is accompanied by a maid and a child."
"Did you see them leave?"
The young gangsters shook their heads hesitantly,
"……No."
Generally speaking, maids like this don't waste pen and ink recording.
And he did not see the maid or the child coming out.
Mark nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and left quickly.
He was going to go back and ask other informants nearby.
Half a day later.
The Hague gang station.
In an office with ordinary decoration.
Mark leaned back in his chair and repeated:
"Have you never seen it before..."
"Yes, my lord."
He sighed and waved to the gang in front of him to leave.
This was the last eyeliner he asked.
The results obtained are the same.
None of the informants stationed at the hotel entrance had ever seen the blond target, or the middle-aged man he was pretending to be.
Sitting there, leaning against his forehead, he pondered for a moment.
Mark got up and walked slowly towards the depths of the station.
…
Time passes silently like water.
In the suite on the second floor of the Blue Rose Hotel.
Colin stood by the window, feeling a little emotional.
Unconsciously, eight days have passed since I arrived at Bananca Island.
The dim light shone in from the window, and it was sunrise at this time.
Although limited by the location, the sun cannot be seen rising from the sea.
But the golden light gradually climbing up the outer walls of the rows of gray buildings outside the window still revealed the arrival of dawn.
Looking around, the ground is filled with gold.
After breakfast, it was almost time.
Colin packed all the luggage into the storage ring and walked to the door.
"Renee, remember what I said?" he said.
"Remember, Master." Renee responded.
Colin nodded.
I've been staying at the Blue Rose Hotel for a week, and it's time to change places.
Move to a quieter place.
The street where the hotel is located is the central street of Lanbei District, but it is still too busy.
I lived here mainly because it was close to the Gold Anchor Auction House, which was convenient for auctioning gold four-leaf clovers.
But after today, the golden four-leaf clover was auctioned off, and he no longer needed to stay here.
'Perhaps, we can move near the shipyard...'
While thinking about it, he pretended to be the ordinary young man he was when he entered the Blue Rose Hotel and walked downstairs.
The clerk in the lobby on the first floor saw him coming downstairs, glanced up at him, and had no special reaction.
He quickly withdrew his gaze and lowered his head to read the books.
Colin looked calm.
The change in his face at this moment was the result of his life-strengthening talent and the ultimate knight's ability to control his body.
Changes at the physical level are difficult to see through.
After leaving the Blue Rose Hotel.
He walked quickly towards an alleyway that he had previously selected near the Golden Anchor Auction House, where he was preparing to restore it to its original appearance and enter the auction house.
But after walking a few steps, I passed by the corner of the street.
Colin suddenly frowned, paused, gradually slowed down, and quietly followed a long-haired wizard.
From the corner of his eye, he could clearly see that the long-haired wizard was holding a piece of white paper with three figures drawn on it.
The figures on the white paper are one male and two female. The female is taller and the female is lower. One is a maid and the other is a child.
Such obvious characteristics... there is no doubt that it is their group.
Colin's heart sank.
But after observing a few more times, he felt relieved again.
The people on the white paper may only have two figures, one big and one small, that can match them.
The rest of them are completely incompatible with them, whether it's their hairstyle or their appearance.
...No matter whether the people drawn on the white paper are actually him and Renee sisters.
But with such poor portraits, it is still a bit difficult to find them based on the pictures.
Looking past the long-haired wizard with a calm expression, Colin walked away quickly.
Not long after, according to the plan, he changed back to his original appearance and came to the Golden Anchor Auction House.
Take out the purple and gold auction pass.
He was taken to the middle of the hall by the waiter and sat down on the right side. This was a free seat brought by the golden four-leaf clover.
As for single rooms... of course there are.
But you have to pay extra, about 50 magic stones.
Not much, but not necessary.
After all, the seats in the hall are far apart from each other and are blocking each other.
Privacy is pretty good.
On the round shelf to the right of the red upholstered chair, there is an introduction brochure of the auction items.
After Colin sat down, he began to read.
Currently, what he lacks most is undoubtedly the knowledge about advancing to become a formal wizard.
And another complete set of meditation methods with formal wizard stage.
For the former, he planned to go to the bookstore to buy it. After all, it was just a rough overview of advanced knowledge.
It's not something precious, and the auction house definitely doesn't have it.
For him now, the price is not too expensive.
Previously on Blackstone Island, the price given by the Black Pearl Caravan was 350 magic stones.
The price on the fleet will obviously be more expensive, and Bananca Island is probably cheaper.
And the latter - the complete meditation method.
Colin sighed slightly.
The price I found at the Black Pearl Caravan was 50,000 magic stones.
Even taking into account the fleet premium, I'm afraid it would require at least tens of thousands of magic stones.
The value of the golden four-leaf clover, according to the appraiser's estimate, is at most fifteen thousand magic stones...
While thinking about it, Colin closed the book with no content in his hand.
Maybe it's to maintain a sense of mystery.
The book only introduces a few items that are treasured and used as selling points, such as his golden four-leaf clover.
At a glance, there are witchcraft tools, magic potions, and even strange objects.
But there is no meditation method.
Lean slightly on the soft chair.
Colin closed his eyes slightly and waited quietly for the auction to begin.
