Volume 1 The Philosopher's Stone Chapter 38 The Reason for the Disappearance

[Scream Tent].

The crowd was still anxiously awaiting Martin's return.

Except William.

He still hadn't figured out how Martin had saved himself from the werewolves, and the most important thing was to use his newly acquired magical item, the Box of Tenderness and Friendliness.

It was one of the items he traded with the second prince of Redstone, and it was a magical item created from the 'Wine Cup' deck Hearts IV [Crimson Bride], which can interfere with people's senses and emotions, but the user will fall into a thirst for blood.

Because it was a magical item made of fourth-order cards, he had a hard time using it because it contained three "Tower" third-order cards.

But how could that Martin, the guy he had been ignoring all along, who only knew that he had to ask Hines to come forward in hiding and even auctioning, could use this item so smoothly and forcefully?!

William was born into a noble family at the top of the Golden Bough Dynasty, and grew up with Siaan under the high priest of the Golden Bough Temple, Heanon.

But since that slave killed King Zosse and took charge of the Temple of the Golden Branch, their family quickly fell to the top of the hierarchy, and finally had to flee the Kingdom of the Golden Branch because of their relationship with the Aaronic family.

Fortunately, the family's heritage is still there, and he and Yinon are maneuvering between countries together, seeking to return to the Golden Bough and regain the honor of the Hilton family.

Not long ago, he heard the news that the [Sunflower Carriage] was going to auction off the daughter of King Dzose, so he rushed over with Sinon, who wanted to rescue his beloved disciple, and William wanted to use Sia's identity to gather forces that could resist the "black priest".

And Xixian himself is a beauty, he has regarded her as his future wife, and when she becomes the high priest of the Golden Bough Temple in the future, he will be able to actually control the Golden Bough Dynasty and push the family's status to the top.

"What you just used wasn't [Sympathetic Witchcraft]." Sixian spoke up, interrupting William's thoughts.

"It's not true, it's the [Touch Witchcraft] I found in an ancient book, which records an ancient being who is very friendly to humans."

William flashed a big smile, suggesting that Xixian didn't have to worry about himself.

"[Touch Witchcraft] is the domain of the Black Priests..."Xi'an's face was a little solemn.

"No, I asked the teacher that the distinction between black and white priests is the intention to communicate the 'spirit' or the secret existence, and it cannot be divided simply by the object of communication."

"Grandpa Shinon is still so aggressive..."Xi'an sighed helplessly.

At this moment, Horn walked to the center of the tent, and he ignored the many werewolves guarding around him, and said to the Hisian and them:

"Guys, instead of waiting here, we'd better plan our actions first."

"The person who secretly placed the [Silver Triumph Car] must want to get this [Little Prophet Card], according to Martin just said, the tent we are in will open at 7:23 tomorrow morning."

He looked around at the crowd.

"That means we just have to stay in this tent and wait until 7.23am tomorrow morning and we should be back in Cavides. However, the people behind the scenes will surely be there waiting to collect these items as well. ”

"We need to think about how to get around him, and even get rid of him."

"That's something to think about tomorrow morning." William answered.

"We may not even be able to make it through tonight." He glanced at the werewolf next to him, and the werewolf looked at him unceremoniously, revealing a grim smile.

The wounded leader had already been taken away, and in the battle just now, except for Martin, they had no fear of the rest of the people.

"Martin's words just now have made the werewolves jealous, we should be in no danger until he returns, and we can't do anything but wait during this time."

Horn wanted to convince William, and he himself understood that William had a point, but their strength did not allow them to act rashly now.

William didn't answer again, and the scene was deadlocked.

At this time, Xixian said to Horn, who was a little distressed:

"Mr. Horn, can you tell me about the auction earlier? I was limited by the sunflower imprint, and my perception of the outside world was basically closed. ”

"If you figure out what happened at the auction, you might be able to find out who is behind the placement of the [Silver Triumph Car]."

Horn didn't seem to expect the girl to take the initiative to talk to him, and he politely responded to Cithian and then told her about the events at the auction, including the strange disappearance of mother and son.

"The corpse liquid fungus blanket and the corrupted spore are the abilities of the 'Scepter' deck, and the woman can also use the skills of the time realm, and has mastered the magical items corresponding to the 'Water Mirror' deck Tier V [Perfumer]......"

"I've never heard of someone who can use so many deck skills at the same time... The negative effects of these abilities add up to be simply terrifying and unimaginable......"

Shihian muttered to himself.

"It's said that there are cards in the 'Star Coins' deck that have the power of multiple decks, but even if they have mastered the 'Star Coins' card, they can't explain the strange way they disappear."

Horn thought of the giant fishtail and the remnants of the statue and continued.

"A teleportation method that even the [Rescuer] of the 'Ring' deck can't capture... What is it exactly? ”

No one answered Horn's question, and there was a brief silence in the tent.

"When you rule out all the impossible, the rest, no matter how unbelievable, is true."

At the entrance of the tent, a man's voice was heard.

Then, a man in a black robe and a mask walked in. He wore a gray gentleman's hat, and his figure looked a little thin in the wide robes.

"Martin!" Anne had been silent as Horn and they were chatting, and at this moment she saw Martin and let out a cry of surprise.

"You're not hurt! How's it going? She looked at Martin, who walked in intact, and stepped forward to ask.

Martin looked at the girl in front of him with a happy look, and his tone became a little warmer:

"It's okay, I've already talked to them, we'll stay until tomorrow morning, and they won't embarrass us."

While talking, some werewolves walked into the tent, took away all the werewolves who were on duty, and closed the curtain of the tent when they went out.

William felt that Martin had come back a little differently, not because Martin had taken off his hood or the somewhat eerie mask on his face, but because of an inexpressible feeling.

Horn and Cician were keenly aware of the werewolf's attitude towards Martin, and although they did not talk to Martin, their eyes occasionally looked at Martin with a faint sense of respect.

Seeing that Martin didn't say anything, the two didn't ask any more questions.

"Martin, you just said the truth is unbelievable, what is that?"

Horn asked Martin. He felt more and more interesting about this young man, whether it was the shock to the werewolf just now or the words he said now, it made people feel that he was not simple, and this young man was still trying his best to hide this unsimplicity, which made people want to explore.

"Yes, Mr. Horn, sometimes, the truth is simple."

Martin said to Horn.

After deceiving the priest and the werewolf, he wanted to return to the tent under the pretext that he needed to "find some truth". As a result, the priest respectfully asked some werewolves to escort him back, and it seemed that they were convinced of this false identity.

But Martin has to get back to Cavides, and sooner or later he will show his stuff if he stays here.

The shouting and the sheer madness of the gentleman's hat were still there, but much less than on the altar, and he had already felt the murmur of the twin flames before, so the impact of the hat was barely within his reach.

He was also worried that the werewolf would see that something was wrong with other changes after taking off his hat, so he never took it off.

On the way here, he, like Horn, began to think about his next move.

When he thought about the person behind the scenes, he suddenly remembered that something was wrong.

A place that he had found strange at the auction before.

That's the mother and son. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that something was wrong with the two of them, and when he compared the wooden woman to the [perfumer] in the tent yesterday, he figured out what was wrong.

There was a purple mist on that blurred figure yesterday, and there was no mist on the body of that wooden woman!

Ever since he came into this world, this mist has appeared on everyone's body, it's just a matter of thinness, and this woman and her children don't have it.

Martin remembered for a moment, he remembered Hines's explanation of the 'water mirror' and the perfumer's abilities, and then a bold idea came to his mind.

He continued to say to Horn:

"What if there weren't any of these two people on the auction floor? The black gauze woman and her child don't actually exist?

After listening to Martin's words, Horn, William, and even Hixian and Anne, who had only heard Horn relay, turned pale.

They thought back to the mother and son's every move, and felt that all the cold hairs on their bodies stood up.

"You're saying they're all virtual images created by real perfumers... But those skills, those actions are so real..."

For the first time in his life, Horn felt a chill down his spine.

"But Mr. Horn, if you think about it, did they actually cause any harm to the others in the end?"

Martin continued.

Horn remembered Martin's words, the woman popping her child's head, the fungus blanket, controlling their speed, making those present kiss each other, and the child's assassin......ation of Hines

"All of this can be done in the Void... That is, the manipulation of the so-called "real dreams". Horn said a little dumbfounded.

"But in the end, the statue of the child is real..."

Horn lowered his head and began to think, he seemed to grasp a loophole.
