Rapunzel did not enter the office, but made a gesture of invitation to Martin at the door.

Martin walked into the office, which was covered with a thick carpet, and Lucia stood up from behind the delicate walnut desk and greeted him warmly.

"Mr. Martin, why are you here?"

"Oh yes, the magical items you commissioned us to make are complete, and I'm planning to have them delivered to your address."

"Don't bother."

Martin smiled mildly.

"I happened to come to you for something I wanted to ask, so I took the liberty of coming over myself."

"Don't be presumptuous, [Prophet] can come to the [Black Cat Trail], I think everyone in the Brotherhood will be very happy."

Lucia pulled out an elaborate wooden box from the drawer of her desk and handed it to Martin.

"I think you'll be satisfied with the items made by the [Hand of Glory]."

Martin looked at the brown wooden box, curious about its contents.

The [Hand of Glory] was used once in the Golden Bird Palace, and although he had been by his side since coming to Kavides, he was unable to accommodate this "Kamen" card because he had already accommodated the [Alchemy Dog], but he was reluctant to sell it.

Crafting magical items was the ideal solution in his mind.

He gently opened the lid of the wooden box, and saw a thick layer of black flannel covering it, and above the flannel, there was a gray glove.

Its texture is soft and looks very light, the glove has no traces of stitching as a whole, it is made in one piece, and the gray fabric shimmers with a satin-like dark light, and it is unknown what material it is made of.

Seeing Martin pick up the glove, Lady Lucia continued:

"This glove allows you to steal a random item, but it must be something it touches within a day."

"The downside of it is that when you put on your gloves, you'll be targeted by a gang of thieves, and your belongings may be stolen or lost."

"We call it the Gauntlet of Justice, and it's fair that when you steal something, someone else steals your thing."

Martin nodded, and after observing it for a while, he put the glove in the wooden box again, closed it, and said to Lucia with a smile:

"I don't know how to express my gratitude."

Lucia smiled and shook her head.

"It's just a small thing for us."

"By the way, there's one more item to give you, Mr. Martin."

Lady Lucia's face was heavy, and she saw her hands wipe away, and a semi-cylindrical smudged stone box appeared in her palm.

Unlike the wooden box containing the "fair gloves", this stone box looks very worn, as if it has just been dug out of a certain grave, and it looks like it has just been salvaged from the bottom of the sea, and the surface is full of traces of time precipitation.

Martin's pupils dilated instantly when he saw the box, and he showed a surprised expression, but fortunately, it was not obvious that it was hidden by the half of the silver mask on his face.

And the reason he was shocked was that he had seen the box.

Except that the material looks slightly different, this box is exactly the same as the "Queen's Mailbox" in his hand!

This immediately made him wonder if the Brotherhood had followed him to his residence and stole the mailbox.

But he immediately rejected this idea, one reason is that the material and surface of the two boxes are different, the one in his hand is all turquoise, the material should be turquoise, light but hard, with many black cracks on the surface.

And only a little green trace can be seen on the material of this stone box, and the surface is covered with stains, very old, even if his mailbox is stolen, it should not become like this in the past few days.

Plus, he couldn't understand the point of the Brotherhood stealing the box and showing it to him.

Lucia held the tin box, and a solemn look appeared on her face that she had never seen before.

"After confirming that you are the 'Prophet,' the Brotherhood's headquarters sent over an item left behind by the Queen, and it is said that the stone box was often on her desk for the last period before her disappearance."

"It is the Queen's will that the box must be handed over to the Prophet within three days of his appearance."

After Lucia finished speaking, she handed over the box with both hands.

Martin quietly took the box, the touch and weight of his palm making him sure that the box was not the mailbox.

Then a little curiosity arose in his heart, why did the queen leave him this box with a very strong symbolic meaning?

And this was the first time he had received an item about the queen other than the mailbox, and the cold and rough touch in his hand came, which made him feel an unreal sense of dislocation in time and space.

He opened the box in front of Lucia and Shirley, and the two tacitly moved away from him slightly.

The copper lock of the stone box is the same as that of the mailbox, but it has been overgrown with green patina, which is the same color as the stone box.

Upon opening, an old yellow paper letter was first revealed.

Martin took out the letterhead, and after an unknown amount of time, it had become fragile, as if it would scatter into crumbs if he had taken it with a little more force.

He opened it cautiously, only to see two sentences written on the huge letter paper in the familiar font of Martin:

"Don't tell me the truth."

"Stay away from gold!"

Martin's brow furrowed, and he was very confused.

"What truth? Why do you want me to stay away from gold? ”

The two sentences in the letter said two things that she didn't want to do at all, the first was related to the Queen herself, and the second was like a warning to Martin.

Martin pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered the contents of the Queen's last letter.

In her letter, the queen told him to go to the beneath the cathedral of Capernaum to see if he could find something "familiar" to him, and if so, to write back to inform her.

Later, when he went to the cathedral, he met Mrs. Lucia.

By that time, he had already made it clear that the queen was from the past, and that the mailbox was able to transport letters through the river of time, enabling the future to communicate with the past.

He didn't tell Lucia about it at the time, because Martin's time crossing most likely involves a time paradox, and if he told Lucia that he could communicate with the queen now, the future might be beyond everyone's control.

Martin has seen this in many film and television works in his previous life.

So to be on the safe side, Martin decided to reply to the queen first to see the queen's attitude before making the next move.

Caution must be exercised.

This was what he had in mind.

But in those days, he was obsessed with digesting the [Virgin Body] and making potato chips, and he didn't have time to reply.

It was a little strange to him that he had not even thought of replying to the Queen in those days, as if he had forgotten about it, and he did not remember it until now when he saw the letter in the stone box.

"She means don't tell her I'm from the future?"

Martin was a little puzzled.

"Could it be that the queen is also worried about the paradox of time and space? But why would she want me to stay away from gold? ”

Martin carefully flipped the letter over and over again, but there were only these two sentences on the letter, which made him wonder even more, couldn't this queen make her words clearer?

"Is there anything else the Queen has mentioned about me?"

He inquired as he examined the stone box, trying to see if there was anything else in it besides letters.

He was hopeless, but he really found a small wooden box in the depths of the stone box.

What's the situation? Another box in a box?

Martin couldn't figure out what the queen was trying to do.

He took out the box and saw a line written on it:

"Opening it can cause unintended disaster, and my advice is to wait until you have no way out."

"That's all I can do."

The handwriting on it, though blurry, appears to be a little newer than the one on that letterhead, as if it was not written at the same time as the handwriting on the letter.

"Is this the Queen's means of saving my life?"

Martin remembered all the tricks he'd heard in his previous life, and the wooden box sounded similar.

He put the wooden box back into the stone box, and the queen had told him that it was powerful, and he could not find a reason to open it now.

"As far as I know, not."

Lady Lucia replied at this point, and she also noticed the little wooden box.

The stone box had been specially delivered from the Brotherhood headquarters, and even she didn't know there was such an item.

"It is said that after leading us to escape from the Heavenly Fire, the Queen gradually became reticent and often alone, and it was then that she began to occasionally mention your deeds."

"After that, the queen's temper became more and more eccentric, and she became more and more indifferent to everything around her, even her relatives and the subordinates who had saved her life."

"Until she left to accommodate the reverse card, she looked like she existed out of her surroundings, and her attitude towards the people around her was like a cold machine."

Lucia sighed softly when she said this, she had never seen the queen, but she had grown up listening to the queen's deeds, so she was both curious and unacceptable about this change in the queen.

"Cold machine......"

Martin said softly.

"Does it have anything to do with the Queen's words not to tell her the truth?"

He tapped his collarbone lightly.

Whatever the reason, he decided to do what the queen told him for the time being, but he still needs to think about how to reply to him.

Putting this thought down for a moment, Martin said to Shirley, who was fiddling with a green dagger at his desk:

"Henry Goode's commission has ended, and there have been some accidents, but fortunately there have been no casualties, thanks to the [mortuary] you invited to say thank you to him for me."

"I've heard Salomon tell me what happened."

Shirley inserted the dagger into the holster around her waist and stood up to answer.

"It's not so much thanks to him, but he should actually thank you."

At this time, Shirley's attitude has changed a lot from when they first met before, or this is her normal attitude, but the last time it involved some of her previous experiences, those made her mind unable to calm down.

"I heard you got two genesis cards on the old sir, which is very rare for a newcomer, did you save them in the 'safe haven'?"

Shirley smiled, and in Salomon's description, Martin showed a completely different adaptability and strong strength from his rookie status, and even Salomon himself said that he had gained a lot from this mission.

She already wanted to pull Martin along with her on some tasks.

"If you haven't already, you can also store it in the vaults of our Brotherhood in Cavides, where security is no worse than that of Safe Haven."

She went on to add.

"It's already saved."

Martin replied simply that one of the purposes of his visit was for these two cards.

"I have some questions about these two cards."

"Salomon should have told you exactly what happened, and I suspect that the last person to appear who called himself 'Boaz' is the man behind the Goode family, the ghost who may have survived for hundreds of years."

"It's just that I don't know how he managed to maintain this anomalous state of existence, so I wanted to ask if you know anything."

"Those two cards, one is the 'Libra' club V [Black Crow's Gift], and the other is the 'Rose'' spade reversal card, the third order, the name is very strange, called [Mother God Corpse Piece 01 - Forbidden Conception]."

"Mother Goddess?!"

Hearing this, Lucia showed a shocked expression, and she stood up in an instant with surprise.
