Martin got the effect he wanted.

[Actor's Face] is Shirley's item, so naturally she has to return it to her, and it is better to show it generously than to hide her appearance mysteriously.

What's more, his face, the face of the Prophet, has long been known to Shirley and Lucia.

Martin believed that Lady Lucia had guessed what she would look like behind the mask, and even guessed this fact.

But reality is always more shocking than imagination.

The two people in front of them would never have imagined that there was a mask behind their mask, and his current true appearance, the form of the [Alchemy Dog], was hidden by the "gentleman's hat" on his head.

He handed the [Actor's Face] to the stunned Shirley, and then said to her:

"I can't return this robe to you for the time being."

"This is a negative effect of using the 'Green Flame'."

The implication is that both items were copied due to the negative effects of using Green Flame to save her.

He told a little lie.

Anyway, there is no "Pinocchio" mask on the face now.

"Well... Good. ”

Shirley's shock at this time still did not subside, and she replied dumbly.

"Mr. Martin... No...【Prophet】My lord... Shirley's words, as well as the previous temptation of the [Wrench Brotherhood], please understand..."

Lady Lucia behaved similarly to Shirley, and she was indeed curious about Martin's face behind the mask, and even thought of the statue of the Prophet in the square.

But seeing the legendary character appear in front of him with his own eyes, and he had teased this character before, even if Lucia had already experienced a lot of things at her age, he couldn't calm down in a short time.

Of course, there is another possibility.

Martin thought about it too.

That is, Martin has the ability to change his appearance, to become a prophet.

In Lucia's experience, this can be achieved at least through the transformation effect of the "Mask" deck, the transformation potion created by the "Spoon" deck, and the [Void Phase] constructed by the "Water Mirror" deck.

But Lucia was sure that this was Martin's real appearance.

Because she has a magical "creation" that comes from the "Seal" deck, she is able to see the "truth" hidden in the shadows behind things.

It was a magical artifact made by the queen herself, and it was a very precious prize, and it was Lucia's reward for being a "bluebird" mechanic of the [Brotherhood of Wrenches].

In addition to this, she also owns a magical item made from a "Masquerade" card, and her familiarity with "Masquerade" makes her almost certain that Martin's face is not the effect of "Masquerade".

I saw that Lady Lucia also wiped her right hand like Shirley, and a mutilated mask appeared in the palm of her hand.

The mask appeared to be made of silver, and was very thin, with some traces of age on it, mottled silver.

There are two holes above the mask, corresponding to the position of the eyes, but the part below the eye socket is gone, and only half of the mask remains.

"Sir [Prophet], your appearance is not fit to be directly exposed to Kavides, otherwise it will attract too much attention."

"As a token of your gratitude for saving Shirley, please accept this mask."

"It was crafted by the Brotherhood using the [Mask] deck's Club III [Identity Theft], which allows the user to change his appearance."

"However, due to some reasons, our preservation is incomplete, and the effect of the mask has also been affected, and the negative effects have increased a bit."

"The negative effect of it is that every time you change your appearance, you need to do a 'steal', regardless of the target."

In the process of descripting, Lucia gradually calmed down.

Martin thought for a moment, reached out to take it, and said softly thanks:

"Thank you."

The mask is light and cold to the touch, like satin.

"When you want to change your look, you just have to put it on and imagine in your mind what you're going to become."

Lady Lucia said at the right time.

After listening to this, Martin covered the half of the mask over his face.

He felt the thin mask clinging to his forehead, eyes, and cheeks like a piece of skin, as if it hadn't been worn at all.

Out of nowhere, Lady Lucia took out a mirror and held it up to Martin.

In the mirror is a man in a bowler gentleman's hat and a half-white mask, the upper half of his face obscured, revealing his nose and lips.

The appearance of the man is very good, but it is limited to it, and it is completely indistinguishable from the statue of the Prophet in Rose Square.

Martin nodded in satisfaction after turning his cheek to make sure the exposed part of his face didn't reveal himself.

Lady Lucia took the mirror back.

Martin remembered Hines's introduction to the [Wrench Brotherhood] before, the members of this organization are basically the existence of the "Bell" deck, and they are good at making secret ritual cards into all kinds of magical items.

Martin had a secret card in his hand, and after he came out of the Golden Agesque, he didn't know what to do with it, he couldn't contain it, and he couldn't use its abilities.

That's the "Hand of Glory" given by the old-fashioned man at the poker table.

When he was in the Plantagenet Palace, Martin could also accommodate this card, not only this one, but also the card contained in the [Gentle and Friendly Box] in William's hand.

But after coming to Kavides, he was only able to use the box, and the [Hand of Glory] didn't react.

So after hearing Hines's description of the [Wrench Brotherhood], Martin has been trying to find this organization to see if he can make the [Hand of Glory] into magical items.

Thinking of this, Martin opened his mouth and said:

"Lady Lucia, I also have a 'Mask' card here, if you can, can you make it into a magical item as well?"

Martin said as he pulled out the card that had been silent in his hand for too long.

Seeing the card in Martin's hand, Lucia's eyes lit up, and she seemed to be back to the shrewd businessman, took the card and said:

"Absolutely."

"It turned out to be the 'Kamen' deck of Hearts III, but I didn't expect you to have it, and this card is a perfect match for [Identity Theft] to form the most basic [Card Array]."

"Sure enough, giving [Identity Theft] to you was the right choice."

"Array?"

Martin heard a new word.

"Don't you know the card array?"

Lucia asked naturally, and then felt that her tone seemed to be inappropriate, and then explained:

"In addition to the correspondence between the two pairs, in the long-term use process, the pioneers found that the combined effect of some secret ritual cards is far greater than the use effect of a single one, and they call these combinations the secret ritual [card array]."

"As we dig deeper, more and more [card arrays] begin to appear, and although each person can only hold one set of secret ritual decks, they can exert extraordinary effects with the magical items they have."

"Because of this, the demand for magical items has increased greatly, and the [Wrench Brotherhood] was formed at that time."

"The [Hand of Glory] and [Identity Theft], both of which belong to the 'Mask', are a set of basic card arrays, and the use of [Identity Theft] requires 'stealing', and the effect of [Hand of Glory] is 'stealing', which is really a wonderful match for the Creator."

Lucia explained a lot in one go, and in her description Martin felt the infinite possibilities and the beauty of fit hidden in the array.

The power of each card is used to the extreme, and even the negative effects can be avoided or even exploited, which is extremely comfortable for Martin, a person who is a bit obsessive-compulsive.

Martin replied with satisfaction:

"It's good to make it, but how much does it cost?"

"This time it's your reward for saving Shirley, and you don't have to pay for it."

Lady Lucia replied with a smile, she seemed very interested in the Hand of Glory.

"It's good, save someone once and get paid twice..."

Martin smiled, his mood suddenly improved, and then said to Shirley, who was still a little sluggish next to him:

"I've also joined the [Shepherds' Club], and we'll probably see each other a lot after that."

Anyway, he will definitely see him when he reports for duty or goes on a mission later, so it is better for him to inform Shirley and Lucia about this now.

"You've become a shepherd, too?"

Shirley reacted and immediately asked:

"Is it related to the Queen's secret garden left in Cavides?"

Martin was noncommittal, and replied succinctly:

"It has something to do with it."

"But the situation in the secret garden needs to be further observed, and I think it has something to do with the frescoes in the basement of the cathedral."

Martin spoke his guess.

Upon her arrival, Lucia mentions the relationship between the Secret Garden and the City of Calamity, which reminds Martin of a fresco he had seen beneath the Cathedral of Capernaum.

Especially the tall and thin man figure in front of the castle gate.

He needed to go a few more times and try to figure out who the man really was.

"I see."

Shirley replied.

"I will help you, Mr. Prophet."

Shirley looked solemn, although she escaped from the family without permission, but her teaching from a young age taught her the importance of finding the "garden" left by the queen.

"Just call me Martin."

Martin said casually.

"Have there been any recent special actions in the club?"

Martin wanted to learn about the club's day-to-day tasks through this, and he didn't want to ask Shirley like a novice, in which case his hard-earned character would collapse.

Lucia also wanted to use this to find clues about the "ruins of the garden", and Lucia said that the church and the town hall had found a "ruin", and Martin keenly felt that there should be a bounty hunter among them.

After all, there will always be something shady that needs to be done in such a big event.

"There have been fewer missions lately."

Shirley clasped her hands to her chest, pinched her chin with her right hand and began to think.

Martin casually noticed that a seductive curve was squeezed out of the girl's white chest exposed in her black shirt.

He quickly looked away.

"It's a little strange that a lot of the old [shepherds] don't know where they have gone, and I haven't seen them for a long time."

The girl didn't notice this, and continued to talk to herself.

"That's why I hunt Johnny alone, and missions with more than 30 quality count generally require at least two [shepherds] to join forces."

Shirley recalled.

"Just now, just before I arrived, the club released a new 40-count 'Grey Wool' mission."

She said with some regret that she seemed to have missed the mission because she was here.

"The mission is simple, to protect a woman named Xishian, who seems to be being hunted by some secret organization."
