Chapter 123 Invitation to the Rhodes card

Asked about the Rhodes card, the woman's voice came first Seriously.

"Of course, it has already been appraised by the local prophets association. On Friday, that is, tomorrow, people from the association will come to Tobesque by steam locomotive for the final round of appraisal."

The woman behind the door did not speak again, and the black-haired maid reappeared and left the room.

Then there was an hour-long silence, and the fat maid prepared more black tea and snacks for Shade, making him regret having eaten too much for breakfast.

And there was only intermittent sound of flipping books from behind the bookshelf door, until the black hair maid returned in a hurry, the conversation could continue:
"didn't expect a hundred years later, the founding Silver Moon will be there It's here. But that's fine."

The woman's words had some smiles, and Shade noticed that the temperature in the study was more pleasant, and he guessed that the other party was definitely more than ten rings:
"You Do you want to buy it? I can make it cheaper"

He has begun to imagine himself taking Mia, buying the whole Sainte-de-Land square, and then living a prosperous life on rent all his life . Although, he's deep in one's heart with some willingness to hold this card.

"Of course not, Detective. Although I have money, I wouldn't waste that much to buy a Rhodes card. If this card is actually traded, the trade amount is huge even for me. . As I said earlier, I don't like Rhodes, I just want to win an important game. So why don't I just hire the owner of the card? It's better than buying the card."

The maid stepped out and returned the three cards to Shade. Shade in the heart quietly asked the woman's voice in his head, trying to know if the cards had been swapped, and successfully got the answer [still authentic].

Although the female voice in my head is sometimes weird, I have to admit that it is really useful.

"Since you saw this card today, Detective, are you interested in a game of Rhodes this weekend? Use this Founding Silvermoon, but don't worry about trouble , I can declare to the public that you are my person. From now on, you can use this card as you like without worrying about being coveted by others. In return, you will accept my commission to use this card to participate in the Rhodes card. The game. Of course, it's paid."

The identity of the opponent must be very remarkable, and being able to get the protection of the opponent can make life better in the future.

"I'm not really good at playing Rhodes, are you sure you want me to play for you?"

He shied a little.

"As for the reward, the two special cards I collected in my hand belong to you. Detective, the Rhodes card is the stepping stone to the upper class, you hold a precious card, why not use it to How about improving your social skills? I hope you can keep it, I think there will be many more commissions like this in the future."

If Shade is a fanatical hobbyist like Lavender Baron, hear plainly Getting two special cards would probably give him a brain hemorrhage, but he wasn't.

But the second half of the other party's sentence really made Shade's heart move. If he can get to know more nobles, it will be of great benefit to his detective career and even his studies around warlock. And with the card he got from the professor, even if he was really short of money to sell the three cards, it would be enough for him to not worry about spending for a long time.

"If you win, you can get a relic from me, you describe the requirements. Also, I can introduce you to a job that pays you a fixed weekly salary, but doesn't require you to do anything , so you don't have to sell the card. If you fail, you have to play the card three times on the following day for free."

Shade has absolutely no reason to refuse, The matter of relics solves the source of the next drop of divinity, and the matter of work gives him the minimum guarantee of life without having to do things.

When thinking about this matter, the other party thought he was still hesitating, so he continued to increase the stake:
"30 pounds, no matter whether you win or not, this is the reward I hired you to participate in the game on weekend nights. .Founding·Silver Moon, worth the price."

"No problem, ma'am!"

This time, don't think about it at all, and it's not a gamble, it's just a commission:

"Ma'am, can I know your identity, and can I know who the other side of the game is?"

He asked tentatively again, and then he seemed to hear something coming from behind the door. Light laughter:
"If you don't know my identity, you won't be at ease. Well, the other side of the game is the old Duke Lucas. I'm also an old friend with him, we use this A game of poker, two bets, two for the Delarion Navy."

It was probably some kind of inter-aristocratic interest and political affair, but he didn't ask much. No matter for outsiders or ordinary detectives in this world, the nobles of this level are legendary figures.

"As for me, people usually call me, Miss Galina. I think, you probably understand that you can't tell your friends about my ring warlock status, otherwise. But you can tell others, We met because of Lords."

Shade didn't know who "Miss Galina" was, but he probably understood that it was a respectable title and meant someone very important. Unfortunately, he has no common sense in this regard.

I thought about asking someone to ask for a while, and I tried to show a surprised expression on my face, but I was not surprised at all.

"As for what organization I belong to, I can't tell you that for now. But if you can show your worth, that is, win the weekend game, so that our cooperation can continue, naturally from me Got the answer. Detective, I don't have much local power, I appreciate you, and I think you wouldn't mind working with a friendly high-ring warlock.

Your background is clean enough, correspondence ring warlock is also from a good background, even more how I admire you as a capable, but still kind-hearted person. I would like to shelter you, but as we said when we first met, everything is There is a reward."

"Yes, Miss Galina."

Shade stood up to leave, very satisfied with this meeting with Miss Galina. :

"Then, I will go to the weekend game, but what is the exact time and place?"

"The bet is on Sunday night, and I will play on Sunday during the day. Arrange someone to find you, prepare suitable clothes for you, and teach you some unimportant etiquette. Those two special cards are not on me, and they will be handed to you on Sunday. As for the reward, I did not prepare in advance .Tifa, you take him to the club to get 30 pounds."

"Okay, ma'am."

This is the first time Shade has heard the black hair maid speak clearly. .

"See you on Sunday, detective, good luck."

"Goodbye, Miss Galina."

PS: Repeat the daily update arrange. 6:50AM, Chapter 3K. 5:50 PM, Chapter 2K. There will be more changes during the New Year and festivals, and large rewards will be added depending on the situation. For the time being it is.
