Volume 1 The Philosopher's Stone Chapter 103 Gluttony Chef
["Gluttony"]
In the upper left corner of the card is a small spoon symbol with the Roman numeral "III." written on the back, and a black peach heart symbol in the upper right corner.
"Another reversed ......"
Martin began to look at the card.
Like Heart III [Alchemy Dog], this card also depicts a large black dog, but unlike the arrogant and heroic giant dog boiling potion on the Heart card, the giant dog on this reverse card is covered in rotten fur, with white flesh and blood on its chin, arms and thighs, and even sharp ribs on its chest, like a corpse that has been corrupted for many days.
Murky liquid flowed down from its wide open front kiss, its red eyes showed a thick hunger and greed, on both sides of the front kiss, the fascia was torn and broken, and the teeth in its mouth were blackened, coveting the food on the plate in front of them.
The plate contained a highly decomposed human skull, mixed with filthy flesh and blood.
Strangely, the skull skeleton also had a piece of flesh in its mouth, and it was now chewing on it, its empty eyes filled with satisfaction and excitement.
The whole picture reveals a deep sense of decay and madness.
"Is this the power of gluttony......
For the first time, Martin felt a substantial hunger from the "Spoon" card, which was much stronger and purer than what he felt after he contained the [Alchemy Dog].
Looking down, I saw that the line of criticism at the bottom of the picture was:
"Abnormal hunger is sobering."
"Looks like this is the negative effect of 'Spoon' III, gluttony......"
Martin thought.
Hines said that the reverse of spades represented the negative effects of the genesis cards, was very treacherous and elusive, and should be accommodated after the other three-color cards were accommodated.
After reading this, Martin's eyes fell on the other diamond card.
【Chef's saliva】
The Tier III block card still has the black giant dog painted on the card, but this time it is cooking the food in the crucible in front of it, and its eyes are not as hungry and crazy as in the reverse card next to it.
It wears a white top hat and a wide black and red apron in front of it, like a chef's outfit.
The white smoke of the crucible in front of it wafted up and permeated its surroundings, giving the giant dog a somewhat mysterious taste.
There was a white bone in the crucible, it seemed to be very satisfied with the pot of bone broth, and some saliva also flowed from the snout, but it was also without the turbidity of the reverse card above, and it was also a normal crystal color.
The saliva was drooling down the bone that was exposed in the crucible, and it was a little surprising that the bone was rapidly corroding, as if it had been sprinkled with sulfuric acid.
At the bottom of the screen, the line reads:
"The chef's salivation is the highest recognition of the dishes."
"The diamond card is a strong offensive card, I don't know what the effect of this card is... Is it related to this corrosive saliva? ”
Martin deduced from the picture.
After examining the two cards, Martin withdrew his gaze and said to the old-fashioned man:
"How do I give you that 'Libra' card?"
Although all the costumes on his body can be brought to the table, he is not sure if these costumes are "phantoms", these real items still exist in reality, and they have not been brought to the table; Second, a genesis card that hasn't fused with gems to become equipment, he hasn't tried it yet, and he's not sure if he can bring it here.
"It's easy, you just have to carry that card with you when you go to bed."
The thin man in the mask, who was interested in the Libra card, chuckled softly.
"He seems to have something to do with the 'Mask', is he able to steal the items on me?"
Martin started to worry a little about the other things on him, and if so, wasn't he using it as a locker for someone else?
"Don't worry, the essence of 'stealing' is an equivalent exchange, and there is no way for me to steal out of thin air without you getting the equivalent items I gave."
The thin man seemed to see the doubts in Martin's mind and explained to him.
"The novel view that 'stealing' is an equivalent exchange is more in line with the effect of [fair gloves]......"
Martin remembered the glove made by the Brotherhood of Wrenches, and its effect was that you were stealing items at the same time that others were stealing your items, which corresponded to the concept of "exchange".
"In that case, the last time I used the [Hand of Glory] to steal the [Queen's Mailbox], what did I exchange it for?"
Martin asked rhetorically.
He clearly remembered the process of catching the [Queen's Mailbox], and he didn't lose anything, he didn't exchange anything.
"You have nothing to lose."
The old-fashioned man answered.
"I've placed some markers on the Queen's Mailbox that make it a target for the Hand of Glory's next steal, and I've already paid for the barter back then."
The old-fashioned man showed a rare smile.
"I left an interesting thing for the Alchemy Society, I don't know if those people have found it now."
"[The Queen's Mailbox] turned out to be hidden in the Dark Alchemy Society... It's no wonder that the Wrench Brotherhood has no way to find it, and may not even know that such a magical item exists. ”
"Certainly not a good thing......"
Martin instantly sensed that there was a hint of sinister and banter hidden under the man's old-fashioned appearance, and his words also confirmed the extraordinary relationship with the Alchemy Society from the side.
Martin nodded, signaling that he understood.
"And one last question."
Martin pulled out a sapphire from his pocket, which, like the items on his body, could be displayed, except that, according to the thin man, it could not be exchanged for anyone at the table.
He continued:
"Recently I was near the Church of the Holy Light on this side of Cavides, and I encountered something strange......"
He then described how he had picked up two gems near the Cathedral of Capernaum.
Just this afternoon, during his survey of Capernaum, he picked up a sapphire again, the last time he picked up a multicolored opal, this time it was also a very precious sapphire, which can no longer be described as luck or coincidence, there must be something behind it.
But he had no clue about this matter, and the only person he could think of as an object of inquiry was the person in charge of the [Sunflower Carriage], the fat gentleman Pleis.
After all, the other party owns a rare treasure token, and probably knows something about it.
And just now, he suddenly reacted, since he was already here, why not ask the four people at this table?
After listening to Martin's words, the other people didn't react, and it seemed that they didn't have a clue about this matter.
There was only one person who reacted immediately after listening to his words.
Sitting across from Martin, the red-haired fat man, the "gentleman ghost" York.
I saw him smile disdainfully.
"It must be because of the [Gem Merchant]."
"Those miscellaneous pieces of the church, it must have been in that church that sealed this Tier V Star Coin card, and that card reacted to me, so when you approached, it would keep sending you gems."
