Amelia and Irene glanced at the necklace. The ruby ​​on it was called Crimson Tear? And such a small thing was worth seven hundred thousand?

Even Amelia, who had once been a princess and queen, didn't know much about the jewelry industry. She only knew that the jewelry in this world was indeed very valuable because the raw materials for jewelry were so rare.

“Alright, then 100 million Kerr, give me the money.” Amelia didn’t waste any more time.

The boss breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

As a jewelry store, he naturally kept a lot of cash on hand. This time, after going backstage, he brought out a box of Kerr for Amelia.

One million kel was no small sum. Amelia and Eileen stood there for a while with the money, and only after confirming that there were no problems did they leave with their suitcases.

By this time, the auction at the Star Auction House had already begun, and Amelia rushed over.

As a high-profile auction house, Star Auction House is not open to just anyone. To enter, one must either demonstrate a noble status or a wealthy net worth.

Amelia and her companion came over, slightly opened the trunk containing a large amount of Kerr so that the auction house staff could see it, and then it was put inside.

The auction house was very spacious, with a red-carpeted aisle in the middle and rows of seats on both sides, where people were sitting densely packed together, bidding on the items that were being auctioned.

At this moment, the item being auctioned was none other than the image of the God of War's Sword, which boasted a 30% level of realism!

It's already started?

Upon seeing this, Amelia's heart tightened.

"One million kel once, one million kel twice..."

The auctioneer shouted from the platform at the front that once three bids were made and no one else placed a bid, the item would be sold at the current price.

"110 million kel." Amelia quickly jogged forward to make the offer.

As she made her bid, many people in the hall turned to look at her, and when they saw her furrowed brows, they all frowned slightly.

Chapter 58 Baker's Adventure Team

People of unknown origin always make people feel uneasy, but Star Auction House only cares whether the customer has money or not, and doesn't care whether the customer hides their identity. So everyone glanced at them and then looked away.

The host beamed: "This new guest has bid 110 million kroner. Is there anyone bidding higher?"

A 30% realistic depiction of the God of War's sword would cost around 100 million kel. This wasn't the starting bid, but rather the usual final price. So when Amelia added another 10 kel, the entire room fell silent.

"110 million once, 110 million twice, 110 million three times, sold!"

The host announced the results loudly.

Amelia breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, as long as the auction didn't cause any trouble.

She didn't expect to run into the auction of the image of the God of War's Sword as soon as she entered; if she had been a step slower, she might have missed it.

"Eileen, that's great! Now you can improve your strength even faster," Amelia whispered to Eileen with a smile.

Eileen had mixed feelings.

Was it really worth spending 110 million kroner on her? Does she deserve a mental image with a 30% realism?

At this point, auction house staff approached them and asked if they wanted to continue bidding or go backstage to complete the transaction first.

Amelia naturally chose to complete the transaction.

She came specifically for this mental image and had no interest in anything else.

After explaining their intentions, the staff led Amelia and Eileen to the backstage of the Star Auction House, where they were received by the other staff members.

The transaction proceeded smoothly without any major incidents.

After Amelia took out 110 million kel and handed it to the auction house staff to count, the auction house staff also gave Amelia the mental image of the Sword of War.

This is a yellowed piece of paper with a crimson sword drawn on it. It looks so lifelike that it seems to be flying out of the painting.

With just one glance, Eileen was certain that the realism of this mental image had indeed reached 30%.

Amelia glanced at Eileen, and seeing Eileen nod, she put away the mental image.

"Transaction complete, let's go."

The two took their belongings and left the auction house.

A gentle night breeze stirred, lifting the red maple leaves.

After Amelia and her companion arrived at Moonlight Plaza, they immediately blended into the crowd and headed back towards the Red Maple Street.

However, after walking through the crowd for a short while, Eileen leaned close to Amelia and whispered, "Miss, we're being followed."

track?

Amelia narrowed her eyes.

She wasn't too surprised by this situation, after all, the world is never short of people who are greedy for money.

"Can you tell their strength? Are they someone we can handle?" Amelia asked again in a low voice.

"I'm not entirely sure," Eileen shook her head.

Unsure?

This made Amelia hesitate. If she could be sure, she could choose to act based on the strength of the tracker, but if she couldn't be sure, it would be difficult.

==========

Gale carefully weaved through the crowd, her eyes fixed on two women ahead, dressed in black robes and wearing masks, their faces completely covered.

He was dressed in the adventurer's leather armor common in Bilder City, and had messy brown hair and eyes of the same color.

'Damn it! Our Baker Adventurer Group already announced that we needed the War God's Sword Heart Diagram, and that no other force or organization would deliberately cause us trouble. Why are people still fighting over it?'

'I don't know how strong these two are. As a prospective apostle, can I attack them directly? Never mind... I'd better be careful; they might also be apostles.'

Gail kept a distance that was neither too close nor too far from continuing to follow.

==========

[Is this the person who was following us? Is there only one person?]

[The Baker Adventurer's Guild? Never heard of it. A new force has emerged.]

[Is this guy just a prospective apostle? He's even considering whether to attack Amelia and the other two. It's laughable. If he actually does, he's dead.]

[So, in the end, you decided to follow them and find out Amelia and the other girl's location? That's rational, but Eileen has already spotted him; he can't escape now.]

Just as Amelia was pondering what to do, the barrage of comments that appeared before her eyes startled her, but she quickly realized what was going on.

It's the camera; the camera just shifted to the stalker.

When an anime is airing, the camera can't always focus on the main character; it will occasionally shift to the supporting characters to reveal information to the audience.

The scene then shifts to the stalker, even revealing the stalker's inner thoughts to the audience. Through comments on the screen, Amelia also learns the truth.

Once Amelia had confirmed the strength of the pursuer, she felt relieved and whispered, "Eileen, let's find a deserted alley."

"I see."

The two had explored many places in Beard City during the day and were already familiar with most of them. It didn't take them long to find a dark alley.

There used to be a street lamp at the entrance of the alley, but it was broken at this time, flickering with an unpredictable light, making the alley feel extremely gloomy.

As Amelia and Eileen entered the alley, a furtive figure followed them in.

"Huh? What about people?"

Not long after entering the alley, Gail realized that she seemed to have lost her way, and a bad feeling arose in her heart.

After thinking for a moment, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"You've been with us for so long, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to just leave whenever you want?"

As soon as Gale turned around, he saw two figures dressed in black robes standing on the road where he had been standing. Without hesitation, he took a step back to try to create some distance.

Although his reaction was quick, he could never outrun Eileen.

Eileen took a step forward and rushed to Gale's side. Then, she clenched her right fist and slammed it down, landing heavily on Gale's abdomen.

"what!"

Gail screamed in agony as she felt a sharp, cramping pain in her abdomen, and was forced to bend over from the blow.

Once Eileen stopped and walked away, Gale collapsed to the ground, too weak to even stand up.

Amelia stepped forward, looked at Gale, and asked, "Now I'll ask you some questions, and you'll answer them."

Gail was pale and did not speak.

“First of all, what’s your name?” Amelia asked.

“Gail…Gail Ross.” Gale sensed danger and managed to answer.

"Where are you from?"

"Baker Adventure Team".

Gail gave an honest answer and did not choose to lie.

Because the Baker Adventurer Group was a well-known adventurer group, Gale felt that only by invoking the Baker Adventurer Group's reputation could she ensure her safety; concealing or fabricating information would only harm her.

Chapter 59 Two Troubles

"Why are you following us?" Amelia asked again.

"I'm very sorry, I meant no harm."

Gail felt the pain in her stomach lessen slightly, and sat up while clutching her stomach, saying, "My goal is the mental image of the God of War's Sword that you auctioned before, but don't misunderstand, I don't want to steal it. I just want to make contact with you and buy the mental image from you again."

Hearing Gale's words, Amelia couldn't help but find it amusing: "Buy it? Why didn't you buy it at the auction house before?"

Gail said helplessly, "I didn't expect the price of this mental image to reach a new high. I only brought 105 million kel, so I couldn't buy it at the auction house. I came up here to contact you. We are willing to pay more to buy this mental image."

Amelia naturally wouldn't believe such words.

She felt that the other party probably wanted to find out where she and Eileen lived and their identities by following them, and then call the rest of the Baker Adventurer Group to come and cause trouble.

Just as Amelia was about to impatiently chase the man away, a thought suddenly struck her.

"You really want this mind map?"

"Yes, our captain, Baker Lawson, has already made great strides at the level of a mid-level apostle. With a mental image that is realistic enough, it might be able to help him break through to the level of an upper-level apostle. Therefore, this mental image is very important to our adventure team."
