Volume 1 The Philosopher's Stone Chapter 104 Accommodating
"Gem Merchant?"
Martin spoke in some surprise.
He had imagined a lot of reasons why he had picked up the gem, but he never thought it would be because of a genesis card.
"Why did the church seal the genesis tablet in the church?"
The red-haired York glanced at Martin, smiled slightly, and did not answer his question, but began to ask him rhetorically with great interest:
"yes, why?"
"According to you humans, Star Coins are a 'Pollution Card', something that can make ordinary humans go crazy and even collapse."
"Why would your King and the Pope allow a high-ranking 'Tainted' card to be kept in a place like the Cathedral? Aren't they afraid of the collapse of those ordinary people who go to church every week? ”
"Or is it that what they want is to bring down all the inferior, lowly people?"
The irony of the fat red-haired man is becoming more and more apparent.
When Martin heard this, he couldn't help but think of what he had heard before, the constant "collapse" across the country, the increasingly tired "pollution" cases of the Fingland Police Department, and the intractable mysteries circulating in the shepherd's circle......
"Does the royal family and the church have anything to do with these events......
He couldn't help but think.
"No, I can't be led by this fat man's train of thought, it's very likely that he is deliberately guiding and even teasing me."
Martin kept an eye on it.
The sturdy Yorke didn't continue, and began to be speechless, allowing the gold coins in his hands to nimbly tumble and jump between his fingers.
"Alright."
The old-fashioned middle-aged man ended the awkward atmosphere at the card table and said to Martin:
"You can take these two 'spoons' with you right now."
"Don't you have to trade the 'Libra' card?"
Martin was a little puzzled, in his imagination, he hadn't gotten the "Black Crow's Gift" yet, so he didn't even think about taking the two "spoon" cards with him.
Moreover, with this man's old-fashioned personality, he didn't believe that he would give this card to himself in advance.
"The deal has been made, and when you get that 'Libra', you can take it with you."
The old-fashioned man explained.
This was a bit of a surprise to Martin.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll take these two cards and not give you that 'Libra'?"
Although the question is a bit redundant, Martin still wants to know where the confidence of the old-fashioned man lies.
"You can't be so stupid."
The old-fashioned man reverted to that indifferent appearance.
"And it's just two third-tier cards."
"Is it just a third-order card... His style of being a local tyrant is really annoying......"
Martin complained inwardly, still expertly impassive on the surface.
-------------------------------------
It was early the next morning.
Martin woke up in a large comfortable bed.
It was a spacious room, and the rare sunlight spilled onto the floor through the gaps in the curtains, and the carpet on the floor glistened with gold trim.
This is Charlie's Cross, 28, Martin's new residence.
Last night Martin spent the night in his new home for the first time, and he slept unusually well, which may be the reason for his nightmare about the "Weeping Angel" and his third time at the table.
When he woke up, he found two dark gold cards next to his pillow.
It's the "spoon" card promised by the old-fashioned man last night.
The diamond card [Chef Sliva ] and the spade card ["Gluttony".
He picked up the two cards and felt that it all seemed a little unreal.
Whether it's a "polluted" or "delivered" card, having all four suits means a successful promotion and a successful advance to the next stage, and Martin now has the "spoon" of Hearts III, plus the diamonds and spades in his hand, and only one club III is left to advance to the next stage of the "spoon" card.
And the rest of the clubs, he already has a clue.
It's the "sweet tooth pocket" that is currently in Miss Anne's hands.
It was a magical item that fused his body with the Pyroxene bullet that Shirley was carrying at the time after he killed Johnny the Carnivore.
Martin clearly remembers the first time Hynes took him to the [Sunflower Carriage], and the first floor host's introduction to [Sweet Pocket]:
"The 'Spoon' deck of clubs III is the product of a combination of enstatum pyroxene."
That's why last night when the old-fashioned man offered a quid pro quo, Martin agreed so happily that he would just find a way to get the [Sweet Tooth Pocket] from Anne, and he would have collected all four suits of "Spoon" III.
And in his opinion, this matter should not be difficult.
After all, he had saved Miss Anne's life.
Thinking of this, Martin finally felt a little relieved.
For a long time, he only relied on external forces to improve his strength, whether it was the gentleman's hat on his head or the magic potions he refined, and now he finally saw the hope of improving his strength.
He looked at the two cards in his hand, put ["Gluttony"] aside, then got dressed, and walked down the first floor with the powerful attack card of [Chef Saliva].
Passing through the spacious living room and the elaborately decorated porch, he came to the warehouse at the back of the house.
Opening the secret door on the floor, bending in and locking the secret door, Martin carried an oil lamp and descended the stairs to the basement below.
He's going to hold this diamond card here.
In addition to accidentally accommodating the [Alchemy Dog] in the Plantagenet Palace, this is the first time he has accommodated the Genesis card, and it is still a "Pollution" card.
Although he was a xenomorph himself, he had no way of knowing what would happen to him while he was accommodating, so it was better to be on the safe side of this deep basement.
After standing still, Martin removed the gentleman's hat from his head.
In an instant, his snout began to protrude, soft hairs grew from his skin again, and the skeletal muscles of his body began to squirm.
Without the transformative effect of the angel's skull, he once again revealed his giant dog form.
And this is necessary to accommodate the "spoon" card.
At the end of last night, he had asked a few people at the table about how to accommodate the genesis cards, and the answer was that using the sensing effect of his own deck, the cards that needed to be contained would spontaneously blend into themselves.
Again, this surprised Martin, who thought that at least some special ceremony was needed.
"Low-level cards aren't as particular as much."
The blonde woman sitting across from him was smiling and reminded him to arrive.
"After all, even if it is an ordinary person, it is possible for the 'Pollution Card' to be fused, as long as this person has the [characteristics] required by the 'Pollution Card'."
"The so-called [idiosyncratic] ......"
Martin, who had turned back into a giant dog, muttered to himself.
He took off his coat and saw wisps of white mist begin to appear on the surface of his body, which gradually condensed and became more and more lively, like excited little snakes.
