Chapter 154 Preparations before the game
The feeling of being bored in the house in summer without cooling tools not good.

Today is another good day, and the heat of midsummer can already be felt in the early part of the thunder month. Although the house is open outside, even opening the windows can't let the wind go back and forth, and there is also concern about the health effects of the fog in the city. Foreigners are not used to such a life, and their reading efficiency is reduced when they are impatient.

But fortunately, he mastered the new Mystic Art. As the temperature continued to rise near noon, Shade finally decided to try to actively cool the room.

Seeing that Mia was lying on the desk in the study and didn't want to move, he got up and brought the water basin and bucket at home, and put the newspaper under these containers. Then close the study room door, close the window and close the curtain.

As the spirit drives the elements, the elements affect reality, and snowflakes fall from the ceiling, and then fall into the basin and bucket. A small part slipped off the edge, and because of the existence of the newspaper, it did not leave traces on the floor of the study.

Even though it's just snowing now, I already feel a lot cooler when I see this scene.

“Meow~”

The cat squinted at the snowy study, and while Shade was not paying attention, the whole cat jumped out of the desk, and then fell into the room. into the bucket. It probably just wanted to play in the snow.

Mia let out a "scream" and rammed around in the bucket. By the time Shade rescued the cat from the bucket, it was no longer interested in those white things. Probably, at least for a few minutes.

Because of my low spirits, I just read a book or check the detective report left by Detective Sparrow all day. Treat those past investigative reports as if they were detective stories.

I went out to eat at noon and took a rare nap after returning home. When I woke up, I felt a lot more awake, and the headache when I woke up in the morning was almost completely gone.

Back in the study, flipping through books while snowing, preparing for the exam at the end of July. And at three o'clock in the afternoon, the sound of the bell finally came from downstairs.

Shade looked out from the living room window and saw the carriage parked in front of his house, and knew that this was the arrival of the servant arranged by Miss Galina to teach him.

Tifa, Duchess Galina's personal maid, was of course impossible to do this, so the one who took the carriage to No. 6 St. Teresa Square was an old seamstress with a metal tool A female apprentice with a box, a ceremonial teacher with a white wig and old court dress, and his young entourage.

Old tailors and apprentices come to measure Shade's clothes, and then simply cut the dresses already made. The etiquette teacher is to teach him some speaking skills to prevent him from doing things he shouldn't do.

It's easy to talk about clothes, but the conversation and rules between nobles are really cumbersome. When Shade was in his hometown, he knew how cumbersome and boring this set of things was, but this afternoon, he realized that he still greatly underestimated the annoying degree of noble etiquette.

It wasn't until the sun went down that Shade narrowly escaped the tedious study of etiquette and put on the black formal suit that the tailor and apprentice made together.

Another carriage was parked at the gate of Six Sainteland Square, this time Miss Carina's valet, Miss Tifa Serveit.

"Miss Serveit."

Shade walked out the door and stood on the steps to greet the maid, arranging the somewhat curvy neckline as he spoke. When he was in his hometown, he rarely wore such loose clothes. Just now, he complained a little to the old tailor, who "threatened". Now men wear silk stockings as a fashion. So he shut up
The black-haired maid was a little surprised:
"You actually know my surname, it seems you have some skills as a detective."

In fact, Shade is listening Miss Yi Sha mentioned.

"Miss, let me pick you up, and you go to the carriage at the back."

The maid of the single duchess, of course, is impossible to take a carriage with a strange man. Miss Tifa Serveit pointed out the carriage to Shade, and she saw the orange cat sticking one's head around to look for behind Shade.

Usually, Mia doesn't walk out of the house on her own initiative, and she never runs out when Shade opens the door. It noticed that the woman in the carriage was paying attention to it, and roared, then quickly hid behind Shade's legs.

This made the black-haired maid smile, and then asked the detective who was about to lock the door after taking out the key:
"Make sure you have that card."

"Yes."

Shade patted himself on the chest, waved goodbye to the cat in the house, and closed the door.

"Okay, let's go now. After the Rhodes game, there's Sand Dragon hosted by the Duke. You don't have to worry about starvation, Detective Hamilton, get in the car, I hope you can help Miss win. Tonight's bet."

This time the match was not played at the noble club in Tobesque or at the manor outside the city of the old Duke of Lucas. In the mansion in the South District of Besque.

The nobles and wealthy people of Tobesque generally lived in the south and east of the city, with the nobles more towards the south. Therefore, the southern city and the central city are generally considered to be the most prosperous areas in the northern pearl, and the university district of Tobesque is sandwiched between the southern city and the central city in a curved ring.

After an uphill road, the carriage slowed down and stopped at the gate of Duke Lucas's residence in the city. The courtyard was surrounded by the mansion, and the middle age person dressed as steward had already brought his servants to wait in the hazy night.

The maid got out of the car first and chatted with Steward. When Shade got out of the car wearing a black bowler hat, the maid Tifa Serveit just happened to introduce the protagonist of the night to Steward. The steward, with his strong Tobesque accent, paid homage to Shade.

He was followed by a group of servants, behind the old steward and the lady maid, and walked across the modest courtyard to the mansion. I thought I would go to see Miss Jialina first, but didn't expect to go directly to the second floor after passing through the slightly deserted hall of the mansion, and saw the entire group of the Prophet Association.

"The guests have arrived and are now waiting in the banquet hall on the third floor. Oh, Mr. Liming, it hasn't been so lively here for a long time." Shade opened the door. The people in the room turned around and looked towards the door. Most of the entire group Shade of the Prophet Society had never seen it, but he saw Sindia Mark Vice-President at a glance. Mr. Mark smiled and shook hands with Shade, and then took Shade's deck for identification to ensure that all the cards used in tonight's match were genuine.

"Oh, [Ancient Fairy Tale Match Girl] and [Northern City Lengshuigang City]? In just a few days, Mr. Hamilton, you actually got so many new cards?"

Mr. Mark said happily, hobbyists would be so excited to see the Rhodes cards that they had never seen before.

PS: Thinking about summer without air conditioners and fans is terrifying.
