Volume 1 The Philosopher's Stone Chapter 40 The Mischievous Kiss
In the elegantly furnished room, Hines had finished writing the letter, and he tucked the long piece of paper into a specially made envelope.
"I have to go to the [Rainbow Post Office] tomorrow...... No, let's go tonight. ”
He muttered to himself.
He followed the hostess's advice and stayed in the Sunflower Carriage, intending not to return to the Screaming Tent for a short time.
At the auction in the morning, the strange mother and son made him feel that something was not right, and the V-rank [Savior] of the "Seal" and "Ring" decks teamed up with magical items to set traps in advance, but they didn't even find out how they teleported away, which was really weird.
There was not even a trace of teleportation at the scene, which was almost impossible for Hines to know.
Although he spends most of his time in the [Fortress of Dawn and Dusk], which makes him seem a bit old-fashioned and out of touch with this world, he is also a [Secret Grammarian] who accommodates the "Compass" Heart VI, and is the group of people who really play a mainstay role in the [Savior], and his insight cannot be so bad.
Not to mention the incident that appeared in the afternoon of the [Sunflower Carriage], those subject objects that were about to be delivered disappeared in the "Sunshine Hall" along with the client who photographed them, and the other waiters on the scene did not even find out when and how they disappeared, which has never appeared in the history of [Sunflower Carriage].
That's why he was a little inexplicably restless.
Restlessness caused by ignorance.
He had secretly taken out the three [Grand Arcana] that he had hidden earlier, and decided to deposit them in the "safe harbor" vault of the [Sunflower Carriage] when he returned from sending the letters.
Although he had never trusted the Garden of Eden, an institution whose goal was always gold and precious stones, he had to admit that "Safe Haven" had the strictest guarding method in all of Cavides, a way of guarding that no one could have imagined.
He suppressed his worries, put on his coat and gentleman's hat, picked up the cane, and prepared to go out.
"Tuk-tuk."
Just as he was about to open it, there was a knock on it.
He was a little puzzled who would come to him at this time, and after confirming the identity of the other party, he opened the door.
It's the hostess.
Hines remembered that her name seemed to be Maria.
"Hello, Mr. Hines, I'm here to talk to you about the specifics of the 'Haven' vault." When Mary saw him open the door, she nodded politely to him.
She was still wearing the lilac Buster dress she wore during the day, her figure was bumpy and convex, and she seemed to be sprayed with perfume, which looked deep and mysterious.
When Hines heard her, he brought her in, and he invited Mary to sit down, and habitually put the coffee-pot by the fireplace, and began to make coffee, and he said to the woman in purple before him:
"I've already talked to Mr. Plesch about the vault, and I'll take care of it when I get back, is there anything else I need to discuss?"
Mary smiled when she heard Hines's words, and she brushed her sideburns and said to Hines:
"You have also heard about the loss of the [Little Prophet Card] this afternoon, and we believe that the 'Safe Haven' vault is no longer safe, and we have decided to close it for the time being."
After saying that, she took out a white square towel containing a rich fragrance from her chest and wiped her forehead.
"You seem a little too warm here."
"Why didn't Mr. Plesches tell me?" Hines was shocked by Maria's words and wondered, and he suddenly felt a little hot.
"This is a decision just made by the Council of Elders, and Mr. Pleis asked me to inform you." Maria smiled and continued.
"Okay, I'll go to Mr. Pleis for another discussion when I get back."
Hines couldn't stand the heat in the room a little, and he said as he untied his tie a bit.
At that moment, Mary suddenly approached.
She rested her elbows on the square table in front of them, and asked Hines in a childlike and innocent tone:
"It's so hot in the house, do you think your three [Great Arcana] will burn?"
Hines felt his mind fall into a moment of confusion after listening to this, and then he looked down at the leather trunk not far away against the bed—where he had placed the three [Great Prophet Cards].
I saw that the suitcase was on fire with a "poof".
This scene instantly shocked the depths of his spirit and subverted his cognition.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he clenched the thin staff in his hand, and the omniscient eye on it suddenly opened, emitting a dazzling light.
"Hahaha, it's late, Hines."
There was no more Mary in sight, the coffee pot on the fireplace was smoking, it had burned over, and his suitcase was missing from the bedside.
"What you see is two minutes ago."
"Are you pleasantly surprised by the combination of 'anchor' and 'water mirror'?"
In the air, the familiar voice of the wooden woman faded away, and the laughter was extremely rampant.
Hines heard the woman's familiar voice and subconsciously chased after the door.
And just then, another male voice came from outside the door, and the man's tone made people feel like they wanted to obey, as if he was saying a rule that could not be questioned, and he said:
"He who swims in sin will sink in sorrow."
As the sentence ended, a huge gorgeous fishtail appeared out of thin air in the corner of the room, swayed for a moment and disappeared, and behind it, the figure of a woman emerged.
It was Maria, it turned out that she didn't leave at all, she hid in the corner with Hines's suitcase, Hines would not have thought that this woman was still hiding in the room, she would only chase it out, and at that time, she would leave in secret.
"Ritsu?" Maria said with a look of surprise on her face.
Then, she took out the silver-bottomed perfume bottle that had appeared in the hand of the Mune woman, and was about to open the lid when the bottle was released and flew out towards the doorway.
There, a diminutive figure catches a perfume bottle larger than her body.
It was a little girl made of precious stones, her head was a huge spherical crystal, and her body was a whole obsidian, the surface of which was carved into a black dress, and even the tassels and folds were lifelike.
Her limbs were made of sterling silver, which was very slender and had a metallic sheen.
After she caught the perfume bottle, she jumped up and ran to a man in the doorway, and handed it to him.
"Treasure tokens?" Maria was surprised once again that the tokens in Star Coin were extremely rare, as only the most precious gems could have tokens.
The man took the perfume bottle, a fat gentleman with gold-rimmed glasses, and a shirt and coat that was slightly tight.
"Maria, I didn't expect you to be an inner ghost." The fat man said.
As he spoke, another middle-aged man also walked into the room, a man dressed as a butler who had been following Horn's side.
"Plehis, and the Stuart Hammer of Judgment, how did you know I was here?" Mary was a little puzzled.
"It came from a young man's suggestion." Outside the room, Horn's voice came in, and Horn and Martin walked in.
"It's you... Didn't you even get swallowed by the [Dark Side of the Moon]... It seems that there is something wrong with the information given by the [Moon Scorpion]..."
Maria stared at the black-robed Martin who came in behind Horn, as if she understood something.
"Give up resistance, Maria." Horn said.
"Cooperate with us to find out who is behind you, and I will make a reasonable judgment against you." His words are like those of a judge.
"Hahaha......" Mary laughed, laughing wildly.
"Tier VI Hammer of Judgment and Mystic Grammarian, with a Treasure token, want to keep me......" Maria muttered to herself, her long hair covering her cheeks, unable to see the expression behind her long hair.
She raised her head again, her face showing a strange flush, as if she was drunk, she stretched out the fingers of her right hand, kissed her rosy lips, and then said in an extremely seductive voice:
"Prank, end."
Then, on the wall behind her, two large red curtains suddenly stretched out, and the curtains slowly closed from both sides of her body, and finally closed completely.
"The imp of the 'fictional' [actor's face]... We'll meet again. ”
Mary said these words to the crowd before the curtain was completely closed.
Only Martin, the moment she finished speaking, her muscles tensed.
Pleishis rushed forward to tear the curtain open, only to find that only a small section of the fox's tail remained behind the curtain and a black veil wrapped in a lily of the valley.
"The smell of the 'Veil' and the 'Mask'... That doesn't seem to be what she really looks like... Who the hell is she? ”
Hines frowned as he looked at the two remaining items on the ground.
