The [Star City] Philabi where Marshall is located is a place with three periods of time every day. The first part is the daytime occupied by the magic sun, the second part is the first half of the night taken over by the twinkling stars, and the third part is more intense.

Pure middle of the night.

Marshall followed the bear orc Tong back under the bright silver stars, and by the way he tasted the famous local Xingzhuan sesame seed cake - a sesame seed cake that falls from the sky and can shine brightly in the night sky.

It doesn't taste like much.

It was now midnight, and the stars in the sky had suppressed the shining magic sun. Marshall and Tong's feet were all immersed in the starlight as soft as mercury.

The Xingzhuan sesame cake in the little girl's hand was transferred to the bear man's mouth unknowingly. He didn't have a full breakfast, but he thought highly of the sesame cake. Tong found that it tasted sweet, but he immediately felt very scared. Because he

He has no money to pamper his stomach. If he gets into any bad habits, his life will be in jeopardy.

But this is another story. Tong is aware of this, and as long as he restrains himself, there may not be any big problems.

Philabi's travels have always been lazy and comfortable. How can you not stop and watch among the beautiful starlight that is layered upon layers, like an illusory pavilion? The ground floor is high in the sky, or the high building is low in the sky. The boundary between virtuality and reality has been divided.

I don't know. As long as you follow the footsteps of the stars in the sky, you will never get lost.

Under [Star City], you can know exactly where you want to go by looking at the stars in the sky and looking for the corresponding location. William and Tong previously explained that the venue they went to was a street about [Wealth], which is close to

They were quite far away now and needed to take corresponding carriages to reach them. Of course, William had thoughtfully prepared them for them at the street entrance. Within a certain period of time, as long as they called softly, the carriage could stand on the ground.

The two chose a street with almost no people around. Tong stamped his feet, and a carriage as black as ink appeared from the ground.

Scattered shadows quickly appeared, and the black and white combinations of evil and righteousness were quickly combined. The top hat man at the front of the car quickly jumped down and bowed slightly to them. Compared with the last time, the driver this time was much more honest and did not

What to say.

With Tong's support, Marshall stepped onto the high side of the car. The fatigue from the first half of the day was finally relieved in this soft and comfortable car.

Marshall didn't have to worry about dinner, because if you followed William, you wouldn't get a bite of food, right?

Looking out the window, it seems that the stars in the middle of the night are hard to see through. There are many tall buildings, the stars are flying, the lights of every house are twinkling, the sounds of various business activities around are intertwined, and people are coming and going.

, a warmth slowly came out.

Every block in [Star City] is different. According to the changes in different star positions, the main tone of the block color is gradually changing. From dark blue to indigo, from indigo to light purple, and then from light purple.

It was a light pink color, and the light spots whirled psychedelically in the air, flying past Marshall's hand stretched out the window.

The crowd was bustling, and there was nothing dark and cruel as William said. Instead, it was a very normal city scene, which made Marshall feel relieved.

This uncle... She finally figured out William's nature. This guy is a bad uncle who always likes to nag... He always thinks that things will develop for the worse. In fact,

.......

Marshall blinked and finally breathed out slowly.

Forget it, let's squeeze Tong's flesh claws. Marshall decided not to think about those unpleasant memories and admired the strange and strange scenery on the streets of Sisig in the middle of the night.

If we say that the previous streets of [Destiny] are nostalgic and ancient, then the streets of [Wealth] are as domineering as the nouveau riche. All kinds of gems are carelessly inlaid on the top signs of various shops and stores. The gorgeous glow is free of charge.

The same thing fell from the brand.

It seems that these brilliant brilliance are indeed free of charge. These deceptions are just leaking out bit by bit from the magic-containing gems above the head. They basically have no technical content. Marshall, who has experienced so much in the royal family, already knows this.

at this point.

"The next place we need to go is the largest auction house in Sisig." Tong recalled what William told him, "We have to get here before midnight... there should be plenty of time."

"We're actually here now, aren't we?" Marshall blinked, with a bit of playfulness in his tone, "Why didn't William tell me?"

"Actually, he didn't tell me where he was going. Mr. William only said that he was going to an auction or something..." Tong gently tapped the bottom of the carriage with the sole of his foot, "Others,

He said he would make arrangements."

Marshall pursed his lips, a trace of doubt rising in his mind.

Obviously William would explain the next step of his plans to her before, but this time he unusually did not tell her, but adopted a method of cutting first and telling later...

Is he afraid that he will escape? Or is it something else? But now that he is on the pirate ship, he cannot escape halfway...

The shops in front of us are becoming more and more prosperous, and the names of the shops marked on the business cards have also changed from various magic supplies exchanges to the names of different chambers of commerce. The flow of people coming to trade has obviously become less, but judging from their clothes,

, much more gorgeous than the previous buyers and sellers.

As time passed by every second, the appearance of the shop changed again. This did not meet Marshall's expectations, because the sudden simplicity and noise were not in line with the previous elegance and luxury.

To put it in layman's terms, the current site was like a vegetable market in a city, with a mixture of good and bad, and she couldn't see clearly what was inside. The stench, both overt and covert, seemed to be able to pass through the gaps in the carriage and penetrate directly into Marshall's body.

nasal cavity.

"It stinks..." Marshall covered his nose and looked at Tong's reaction.

At this time, Tong's heart was already filled with turmoil. This familiar odor lingered in his mind. Life in the tribe was not only harsh, but also dangerous.

It was corpse odor, and he would never admit it.

"It will be over soon, miss." Tong didn't know how to comfort others, so he had to fill it with his own fleshy body.

"We won't be here...it's too disgusting." Marshall seemed to have a bad feeling.

Tong took out the map from his pocket, stretched his head out of the window, and looked at the stars that were constantly rotating in the sky: "It seems we're almost there..."

The time is just right, right at the junction of the first half of the night and the second half of the night. As long as a certain time period is crossed, the sky of [Star City] will suddenly darken. Except for the [Starfall] period, the deep darkness will engulf everything.

The carriage drove forward for a while, and the disgusting rancid odor was finally a little further away from them...

The carriage gradually slowed down, and the number of people in front became sparse. There were only a few scattered people in plain clothes walking leisurely on the street. Some of them were alone, and some were accompanied by one or two servants.

The directions are roughly the same.

"They all look so formally dressed... Look, their brooches are all made of amethyst, so beautiful..." Marshall leaned against the car window and looked at him eagerly.

Most of those were gentlemen in black, "Tong, look, Uncle William!"

William was wearing a light blue tuxedo. The sword on his waist disappeared and was replaced by a silver cane. The corners of his mouth were slightly curved and his eyes were bright. Seeing that the carriage arrived on time, he finally waved with peace of mind.

He waved his hand to let the two of them see him.

"It's almost midnight, let's go down." The forward momentum of the carriage gradually slowed down and finally stopped. Tong held Marshall's hand, fearing that something might happen to her short legs, "Be careful, the steps of the carriage

Relatively high.”

"Yes, I know." Marshall waved vigorously to William, jumped lightly from the steps of the carriage, and landed on the steps with a clatter.

There was only a dark door behind William. Even if he looked inside, nothing could be seen.

"How was your day today?" William asked.

“I haven’t had enough fun, I haven’t even seen all the scenery here.”

"Haha, you can go again next time, right?" William blinked, smiled and touched Marshall's head, "We are going to attend an auction next, did you try to look inside just now? Look.

It must have failed..."

"..."

"Don't worry, it's normal. The time is just right. I have reserved a private room inside. The other orc followers have been arranged. Tong will go in as our bodyguard to protect the safety of the two of us." William glared at Tong.

"Inside, all magic will be temporarily blocked, so the brute force of the orcs is very popular."

"I heard from Tong that the auction will start in the middle of the night?"

"Well, we have to go in quickly. I told you before that we need a more suitable weapon. I thought about it again and again, and finally this is the most suitable place." William strode into the door of the auction house,

"This is a VIP channel. According to the sign on my chest, he will automatically send us to the corresponding box. Ordinary customers can only sit in first-class public seats, hehe."

"Then you are really rich, Mr. William." Marshall held Tong's hand and followed William, feeling a little unhappy.

After passing through the dark curtain, what appeared in front of us were candle lights one after another. However, these candle flames seemed to be blocked by the special magic in the eyes, and could not emit the original heat, nor would they

Swaying with the wind, all it provides is light.

The long and narrow passage seems to allow people to magnify their expectations countless times. The exit in front appears in the form of a light spot, and then grows from small to large. The original quiet atmosphere is replaced by various noises, even in the private room.

Glass barriers cannot completely block shooting

The atmosphere of the auction is warm. The auction venue is bathed in the silver starlight. The gyro-shaped distribution allows the VIPs in the top boxes to stay away from the people at the bottom who do not understand etiquette, and there will be no unpleasantness.

quarrels and stampedes.

Here, all magic will be prohibited, and if there is a dispute over interests, the organizer of the auction will not participate in the mediation. At this time, physical collision seems to be indispensable.

But all this has nothing to do with Marshall. After all, their box is worth seven hundred gold coins. Well, seven hundred gold coins at a time. This is not a price that an ordinary person can pay. You can even buy some high-quality items at auction.

.

There is no one in the center of the auction hall yet, and the lights in the center of the tulip-shaped venue have no focus. But this is the last moment.

The box is fully equipped with a clean and tidy stand and three comfortable sofas for people to lie down on. There is also a table filled with fruits in front of the sofa, and you can eat the fruits on it as you like.

Marshall looked up along the periphery of the box glass. The top of the auction house was actually unsealed! This meant that all the beautiful stars in the sky could shine into the venue...

"There is a special hidden spell here that can block all sounds in the venue. The effect of being open-air is just an illusion. After all, this is a landmark building in the [City of Stars]. It will definitely not work without a cover." William stretched out his hand to grab it.

He picked up a plum, threw it into his mouth and started chewing it.

"Landmarks?" Marshall asked, "What are they?"

William clapped his fingers and responded one by one: "The Lagdis auction house, the upside-down tower, and the dip-dye tower. Of course, this dip-dye tower is not the one you imagined. The location of every [Starfall] is there."

"I really want to know [Starfall]...that is, the stars in the sky will fall?" Marshall tapped his fingers in confusion, wondering how loud the human voices below must be to reach here...
