Volume 1 The Philosopher's Stone Chapter 32 The Triumphal Chariot of Silver
After the boy finished speaking, Martin saw a rare look of anger on Hines's face.
Although he had only known the old man for a day, the old man always maintained a warm smile on his face, and had the elegance of an old-fashioned gentleman.
I saw him take out a small silver hourglass from his pocket, and the hourglass contained a little pale green fine sand at one end, and there was a small amount.
He turned the hourglass upside down and placed it next to Martin and the three of them, then looked grimly at the child crouched in the high-backed chair.
As the green sand in the hourglass slowly flowed, a cloud of light enveloped the three of them, and then some black coke powder retreated from their lungs, noses, and mouths.
The mucus and body tissue they had coughed up recollected in the air, retreated back into their mouths, and then down their throats back to their original positions, and the rashes on their bodies quickly dissipated.
That hourglass is the 'Compass' deck's Club V [Fracture Sand], which can slightly reverse the trajectory of time.
Entering the V tier, the abilities of each deck begin to improve qualitatively, such as the "Compass", the "Seal", and the "Water Mirror".
And as the level of the "Compass" tablet increases, the more [Time Rifts] that can be observed and captured by the accommodator, and the more time that can be reversed becomes wider, and these [Time Rifts] will turn into [Rift Sand] in the hourglass.
Hines looked at the child in the distance, his expression became very indifferent, his eyes began to spread purple electric light, and there was a crackling sound in the air, like a god.
And the child, after observing Hines's reaction, smiled and said, "Are you angry..."
"Hey, hey, hey..."
A large amount of mud began to emerge from the top of his head, and the mud ran down his head, covering his entire body, and then the mud gradually solidified, and finally he became a mocking statue.
Hines walked over with his cane, raised his cane and smashed the statue with a snap, frowned at the remains of the statue, and then said to Lucas and the others, who had just recovered:
"Escaped."
Lucas was very annoyed that another person disappeared without any trace of teleportation in front of his eyes, but he had no choice but to ask the team members to report the results and wait for the [Garden of Eden] headquarters to send someone to deal with it.
Martin came to Hynes's side, and looked at the pile of statues, and he always felt that something was wrong, that the woman was like that, and so was the child.
"You saved me, Martin." Hines turned his head and smiled kindly at him again.
"Thank you."
Martin was a little weak-hearted, he knew that with the strength that the old man showed later, even if he didn't make a move, the dagger wouldn't hurt him.
"You used the ability of [Time Slicing]." Hines continued.
"It's amazing to be able to become proficient to this level in just one day."
......
When the dust finally settled, there were only a few of them left in the hall, the blonde William, the man who auctioned the Prophet card, and the hostess on the auction table.
"Sure enough, it's a qualified worker......"
Martin saw that the hostess was still able to maintain a relatively calm demeanor after all this, and felt her professionalism.
The hostess walked over to them with a long sigh of relief.
"Sorry for the trouble you, you two, [Sunflower Carriage] will do its best to find out about this matter and make amends to you."
"There's even compensation," Martin's ears moved when he heard this.
"No need, this incident started because of me."
Hines decisively rejected her, and Martin was a little discouraged after hearing this.
"Alright, Mr. Hines, I will report the situation truthfully with Captain Lucas, and the Council of Elders will make the final decision."
"I'm afraid the forces behind these people won't give up, if you need it, you can stay in the [Sunflower Carriage] first, and we will provide you with the best accommodation and security conditions."
Hines thought for a moment, then finally nodded and thanked her.
Afterwards, Hines and Lucas go to meet the person in charge of the Sunflower Carriage, while Martin is led by the waiter to the "Sun Hall".
He's finally going to see Xishian.
The attendant led him through a long corridor full of paintings, down a wide staircase into the ground, and after walking through a narrower passage with many strange openings on both sides, he came to the door of a magnificent hall.
The black-clad waiter at the door carefully checked Martin's credentials and let him into the hall.
The hall is very tall, supported by six huge carved stone pillars, and twelve huge crystal chandeliers illuminate the hall as if it were daylight.
"No wonder it's called [Sunshine Hall]..."
Martin walked down the thick carpet to the front of the hall, where some people were waiting for the subject matter of the transaction.
All the objects will be removed from the hall with the unique markings of the [Garden of Eden], and due to today's events on the second floor, the auction has been affected, and the final sale is only four pieces of [Sweet Pocket], [Mirage Mirror], [Daughter of King Zosai] and [Little Prophet Card].
Martin met the handsome middle-aged man who had photographed the Little Prophet Card before, as well as the blonde-haired William and Anne, who had photographed the Mirage Mirror and the Sweet Tooth Pocket respectively.
"It seems that although the transaction of the [Little Prophet] card was interrupted, it was successfully completed in the end." Martin thought about it as he looked at the handsome middle-aged man waiting not far away, and walked towards a few people.
"Mr. Martin!" Anne saw Martin in a black robe walking over, with a surprised smile on her face, and the middle-aged man and William also followed Anne's eyes to see Martin walking towards them.
The middle-aged man looked at the young man in the black robe and mask with interest, and William's face that was full of humble smiles suddenly sank a little, Martin and Hines slapped Xixian away, thinking that he should still have anger in his heart.
Martin didn't pay attention to it, but thought about how to defend the blonde youth and whether he needed to live in the Sunflower Carriage for a few days.
The handsome middle-aged man nodded slightly when he saw Martin coming, he seemed to know Anne, and they were talking before Martin came.
At this time, the subject they photographed was pushed into the [Sunshine Hall] by a group of waiters dressed in white from another gate, which seemed to be connected to a deeper place underground.
The two large, two small and four items were neatly placed, and the waiter in white first picked up the wooden box containing the [Sweet Pocket], took out a special seal and stamped it on it, and saw that the previous sunflower logo on the box gradually disappeared.
The waiter then carefully lifted the red flannel cloth that covered the mirage mirror, and stamped the back of the mirror with a seal, and the sunflower on it gradually disappeared.
Then the waiter lifted the black flannel cloth that held the cage and went in to erase the mark on the pendant she was wearing.
Martin and William's eyes were focused on the waiter, and Anne couldn't help but say "so beautiful" when she saw Cecian.
And at this moment, the [Mirage Mirror], which no one noticed, underwent some changes.
Its two iconic fishtail pillars slowly shrank into two intricately carved silver stone columns, and the pointed arch at the top of it also retracted, and a keyhole appeared in the middle.
Martin saw that the keyhole actually rotated automatically.
Then, the calm mirror began to ripple, and a circle of light glowing from it spread out and enveloped them, revealing an indescribable mystery.
The handsome middle-aged man looked at the change in the mirror, his expression changed greatly, he showed an unbelievable expression, and said in a suspicious tone:
"This..."
"This is not a [Mirage Mirror] at all, this is ...... [Silver Triumph Car]!"
As he finished speaking, the objects in the aperture, William, Anne, Martin, himself, the cage Cialian, and the two white-clothed waiters on the edge of the cage all felt their bodies move, and they were all sucked into the mirror.
