Volume 1 The Philosopher's Stone Chapter 33 Blood Moon
Martin seemed to enter a magnificent passage, he felt his body spin countless times in an instant, and finally fell to the ground suddenly, as if he had been hit by a high-speed train and then landed, but his body only felt dizzy, and there was no obvious pain.
It's a bit like the mysterious "Queen" using the intricate seven-pointed star symbol to teleport him from the Plantagenet Palace to Cavides, but the actual feeling is much more intense than that time.
It was as if he was standing there and the scenery around him was passing by like a train, but this time he was the main body of movement, and Martin felt like his body was being torn apart by some force, almost torn apart.
He slowed down for a moment and slowly got up from the ground, and around him, William, Anne, the handsome middle-aged man, Xitian, and the two attendants slowly climbed up.
Then Martin noticed that the place seemed to be somewhat... Familiar.
They landed in what appeared to be a tent, with a floor-to-ceiling mirror behind them, and a small long table covered with an ornate blanket with a coffee pot and two still steaming cups on it......
This is... Scream tent!
It's where Martin cheated the piper and met Hines yesterday!
"Why am I back again?"
Martin shook his head, relieved of the headache caused by the shuttle, and his heart was full of doubts.
Suddenly, he felt as if something was calling to him outside the tent, and he didn't even remember to check on Xixian, and staggered towards the entrance of the tent.
Lifting the black curtains dotted with stars and moons, he came out of the tent, but what caught his eyes was not the remote alley of yesterday, but a gray wilderness with potholes.
A large number of rocks on the ground were exposed, and the wind that blew from time to time blew up puffs of ash, which seemed so dead and lifeless.
And in the middle of the sky, a blood-red moon hung high, sprinkling an eerie brilliance.
"It's... Where? ”
Martin looked at the unfamiliar scene in front of him and was stunned.
Behind him, William and the others also lifted the tent curtain one after another and walked out, and then they all froze in place.
"Blood Moon...... How could it be a Blood Moon? ”
"Werewolves were wiped out at the end of the Holy Light Era, how could there still be a blood moon!"
William looked at the moon in the sky and let out a roar of surprise.
"Werewolves?"
The two attendants couldn't help but shudder a little after hearing William's words, they had all heard of this race that was extremely brutal among the xenomorphs, and the symbol of their appearance was the blood-colored moon.
"Where the hell is this?"
Anne also showed a frightened expression, and moved closer to where Martin and the middle-aged man were.
"Unknown location."
The middle-aged man's handsome face also showed a hint of worry, and he took out a compass from his chest with a complex family emblem outlined in gold thread on the back, and the arrows on the compass were spinning wildly at irregular intervals, and he frowned.
"At least not Kavides anymore." He added.
"Uncle Horn, what is the [Silver Triumph Car] you just mentioned?"
Anne asked him.
The man known as Horn put away his compass and replied to Anne:
"It's a Tier VI magical item from the 'Key' deck, it's very mysterious, and I've only heard rumors about it."
"It is said that it does not need to carve a space-time circle, and it can freely shuttle to different locations, as long as the [barge point] is set up at the destination in advance."
"Don't need a magic circle?!" William was a little surprised, "However, aren't all space-time 'teleportation' realized because the magic circle opened the [worm hole] between the longitude and latitude of the earth?" ”
This seemed to be beyond his knowledge.
"Under normal circumstances, it does." Horn replied.
"But if the item itself is a special [worm hole], then it doesn't need a magic circle."
William was speechless in shock.
"Then can we teleport back through the [Dock] here?" Martin listened to their conversation and thought of a possibility.
"Not sure, but theoretically not. [Barge] is not the [Silver Triumph Car] itself, and can only be passively teleported. ”
Horn replied after a moment's thought.
They then returned to the tent, and it was only then that Martin realized that Sihian had not left the tent just now, and that she was observing the floor mirror, and when she saw them come in, her eyes were guarded, and she did not recognize Martin.
"Shihian!"
The blonde young man saw that Xixian seemed to be sober, no longer the same as before, in the auction hall, and called her excitedly, he seemed to be very familiar with Xixian.
"William?"
Sihian looked closely at the young man and recognized him.
"It's me!" The blond young man walked up to Xixian and said to her with a smile:
"It's great that you're sober! Teacher Shinon and I were very worried about you, and when we heard that you were in Cavides, we immediately came over. ”
"Is Grandpa Shinon here too?"
"Yes... Not here, we seem to be stuck in this place. ”
Martin listened to the conversation between the two men, and he kind of understood why William was competing with him for Cithian at the previous auction.
As he listened, he walked to the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the depths of the tent and noticed that a middle-aged man named Horn had also arrived.
Horn smiled at him and said:
"Do you suspect that this is the [Docking] of the [Silver Triumph Car] here?"
"That's right." Martin replied in a deep voice as he stroked the mirror of the floor-to-ceiling mirror.
Yesterday when he came to this tent, Hines and the perfumer came out of this mirror, which had broken after Hines came out, but now it is intact, and there is a problem with it.
Linked to the woman who disappeared into thin air in the [Sunflower Carriage] today, the [Silver Triumphant Car] disguised as the [Mirage Mirror], he seemed to have caught a bit of a trajectory in it.
"What time is it?" He asked such a sentence without beginning or end.
Horn was stunned, but he also took out a pocket watch and looked at the time.
"9:18 a.m."
Martin straightened up and began to look around the tent.
"I've heard Hynes say that [Scream Tents] are open from 8:36 p.m. to 8:36 a.m."
"This time is said to be associated with the legendary Blood Moon." He added.
"And during the daylight hours after business hours, you can't enter the tent, otherwise something terrible will happen."
He told the rest of the story of the homeless man he had heard from Hines today.
"It's no longer the tent's business hours, and we've been teleported here..."
"So, the man who sent us here wants to take our lives?" Anne answered.
"No, if we want to assassinate us, we don't need to go to such great lengths, and we choose to do it in the [Sunflower Carriage]." Martin shook his head.
"Yesterday I met someone in this tent who resembled the Mune woman, and her purpose was the [Prophet Card]." Martin revealed some of his previous experiences, and he knew that it would not be easy to escape the current situation on his own.
"It's very likely that [the barge] was set up yesterday at this time."
"Her purpose in arranging the [Silver Triumph Car] should still be the [Little Prophet Card]."
Everyone looked at the box that had been teleported with them, the sunflower mark on it had not yet been removed, and it contained the [Little Prophet Card] that Horn had photographed.
"I see, this place can't be perceived by the outside world, and I'm afraid the people of [Sunflower Carriage] won't be able to find it in a short time." Horn said as he looked at the compass in his hand, which was still spinning wildly.
"She just needs to come here at night when the tent is open and pick up the items without anyone knowing."
"Nope." Martin denied his claims.
Hines said that entering the tent at different times would have different experiences, and that his divination time was from 7:23 to 8:36 every morning.
"If that's the case, then she'll be here at 7:23 tomorrow morning." Horn continued.
"And what the hell is this place?" Anne asked again.
"It is said that only when the little trump card [Angel Seat] of the 'Chariot' deck appears, there will be a 'Blood Moon'."
"And the [Angel] is the leader of the werewolf tribe, and his territory is where the werewolf tribe is located."
Xixian, who had been listening silently to their conversation, said. Martin's voice was different from the previous [Crimson Bride] and [Goblin], so she didn't recognize it at all.
"And the [Throne Angel] has disappeared at the end of the Holy Light Age, so since the Age of Rusty Iron, no one has seen the 'Blood Moon'."
"That's right." Horn answered.
"That means we've entered the territory of the Angels?" Martin continued to suppress his voice.
He had heard Hines mention the [Angel Seat] yesterday, and the [Twin Flames] on his body were said to be the eyes of this "little king", so the ominousness in his heart when he heard this name now was aggravated.
"It's not just territory." Horn corrected.
"If this is the real Blood Moon, and not the [Void Phase] created by the 'Water Mirror', then we are probably facing the [Angel] who is still alive and has somehow continued the life of the entire Rusty Iron Age for more than 2,100 years."
He said with a frown.
"But haven't all the xenos been wiped out? How can there still be a 'little ace' card that survives? One of the two attendants said that this was what the Church of Light had been preaching.
"What disappeared with the [Seat Angel] back then, there was also a creation-level artifact in his hand." Horn went on to explain.
He looked out of the tent, as if staring at the blood-colored moon, and his tone became mysterious.
"Do you know why the moon is white?"
