Chapter 176 Crimson X Chaos X Frenzy
Arthur originally didn't want to come.But the spoils of war were simply too abundant!
It would have been disgraceful to waste them, Arthur felt.
So he came, bringing with him four "Hand of Void," carrying "Atos's Box" as well.
Once he confirmed that Marinda's attention was drawn by the elderly member of the "Death Poetry Society," he immediately used the "Shadow Concealment" trait of the "Dark Serpent" Bloodline to cover himself with shadows, rapidly
Finally, when there were only 66 gold coins left inside the money chest, the Exquisite Human Puppet returned to its original form.
'Such restoration requires 234 gold... Would it be even more expensive if there were missing limbs?
I must start stockpiling gold!'
Arthur squinted his eyes, beginning to ponder where to get gold from—he didn't mind exchanging gold notes, but it had to be done discreetly. A one-time, large-scale purchase was outright impossible; it would definitely attract attention, and then expose his secret.
And sequential small-scale exchanges weren't reliable either.
Given the 'market's' sensitivity to gold, such behavior would inevitably draw scrutiny sooner or later. If he encountered someone who dug deeper into the matter, they might discover something suspicious.
After all, only buying and never selling looked very suspicious.
'Perhaps…
I should start learning alchemy in advance!'
Only by spending extravagantly with 'alchemy' could he cover up the deficit from repairing the Exquisite Human Puppet.
'Right, Buggy.'
Arthur picked up the "Blood of Doting," inside which the fragmented Bloodsucking Ancestor Worm roared and bellowed madly, but it was helpless since Arthur completed the contract with the Exquisite Human Puppet.
It was merely impotently furious.
Afterward, it was placed aside—it seemed that because of the presence of this fragmented Bloodsucking Ancestor Worm, the "Blood of Doting" could not be placed inside Atos's Box.
It was nowhere near as convenient as the Exquisite Human Puppet.
Pendragon displayed considerable interest in the ring that had newly appeared in the Spirit Medium Parlor by first sniffing it, then began to play with the ring using his paws, gradually dragging it from the table to the carpet.
The Hand of Void placed the ring back on the table once more.
Pendragon immediately began dragging it again, seemingly tireless.
During this time, Arthur emerged from the washroom.
Being a 'Spirit Medium,' he felt there were certain rules he should follow.
For example: washing hands before opening a blind box.
Phew!
Arthur took a deep breath and then opened Atos's Box.
The next moment—
Whoosh!
The spoils surged out like a tide, flooding the entire desk.
