Chapter 155 Shiraishi and the Maid

“Where’s Miss Galina?”

When the appearance of [Founding·Silver Moon] surprised the entire group of the Prophet Association, Shade asked the black-haired maid in a soft voice, who looked at him in surprise:
"Miss hates and Strangers meet, so you won't go to see her until you win the bet tonight. What, do you want to see Miss now? I can go and ask for instructions."

"Not for now."

said Shade, then reached out to shake hands again with the enthusiastic Mr. Mark.

Before the game starts, check the decks of both sides to prevent forged Rhodes cards in the decks. The Old Duke's deck has been checked long ago, so now there is only Shade here.

There were only three special cards in Shade's deck originally, but Miss Galina gave him two more cards this time. After the maid handed them over to Shade for inspection, they were directly replaced with his 54 cards. Group.

Those two cards are Mark 9 of the primordial steam engine series, suit sun 10, and Lake Teess of the continental eastern style series, suit 8.

The special effect of the former is that when this card is drawn, if you have at least two cards in your hand, and all the cards are of the sun suit, you can place the number of this card between 9 and 10. Internal adjustment.

The special effect of the latter is that after drawing this card, guess the number of a card that the opponent has not shown. If it is correct, you can choose whether to let the opponent's card after the opponent shows the card. The number is forced by one. [Old Continent Eastern Landscape Teas Lake] has no effect if the opponent opens the card first.

In terms of functionality, both cards are of course not as practical as Shade's Silver Moon, and just as entertaining as Match Girl. But the special Rhodes card itself is wealth, and Shade certainly doesn't dislike it.

It is worth mentioning that the hometown of Mia, the owner of Mia, that Miss Mia San Gold went to, seems to be near Lake Tees. Shade had seen it there when he was looking up the map and thinking about the "Mia Cat Homecoming" route.

While waiting for the inspection, Shade saw that the entire group of the Prophet's Association was busy, and the Duke's servants were waiting to greet him, so he secretly asked the black hair maid a question

"Do you know what white stone crystal is?"

The pattern on the bottom of the bottle is inconvenient to describe without a pen and paper, but it is convenient to ask about this suspected mineral.

The black-haired maid looked at Shade in surprise, her pretty brows slightly wrinkled:

"Detective, where did you hear about this? This is not a common mineral."

"Precious?"

Shade asked nervously, mainly wanting to know if it was expensive. Contacting Miss Luyisa, he had never even heard of Shiraishi Crystal, and he was ready to hear terrifying numbers.

"Not particularly expensive, but very rare, extremely rare. This mineral is a rare associated mineral. It is basically useless for ordinary person and ring warlock. White stone crystals are produced in small quantities in the middle of the old continent. The most common use in the Yarakhan desert area of the new continent, and in the large river valley open-pit precious metal mines of the new continent, is to stabilize the space in the super-large ceremony, but the amount is very small, and there are many similar materials that can be substituted."

As the valet maid beside the Demoness of the Demoness Council, she is indeed very knowledgeable.

"So where can I find it? What's the market price?"

Shade asked again, looking all around, everyone was doing things, and no one was paying attention to the conversation here.

The black hair maid Miss Tifa Serveit thought for a moment, her voice was very nice:
"It's hard to say the market price, because this thing basically doesn't flow into the trading channel. Some ore collectors do I like collecting very much, and the Mineral Association in Tobesque probably has some collections. And, Miss, there happens to be too.”

Shade looked towards the maid, and the maid also looked towards Shade, all waiting for the other party to speak first.

"Will Miss Galina sell it to me?"

After just looking at each other for a few seconds, Shade asked, after all, it was he who asked for something.

"Miss doesn't care about this useless item. I take it directly, and she won't say anything. But detective, Miss said, there is a reward for everything."

The maid winked at Shade, then narrowed her eyes and smiled. Black hair, black eyebrows, and brown eyes are a familiar hair and eye color to outsiders.

"Okay, Miss Servette, what do you need?"

Shade asked again, knowing that the other party definitely didn't want money. After all, a piece of jewelry on a maid might be worth several millets.

Tifa Serveit turned her head, looked towards the entire group of the Prophet's Association that was checking the Rhodes card, and said softly:
"Help me with one thing, it is inconvenient to say now, you are now. The only task of the evening is to help the lady win the game. Later, I will visit you with that white stone crystal. You can decide for yourself whether to accept the commission. After all, you are a detective. Willing to accept."

"Yes."

Shade nodded and said luck. If the other party's request is too much, he can refuse, and then go to the Tobeysk Mineral Association to try

"Can you feel the maid's warlock level at such a close distance?"

While smiling, he asked in the heart.

[Not a high ring, but better than your doctor friend, La Soya, and the heart collector. There is a high probability of the sixth ring, but it may also be the fifth ring or the seventh ring. You have to touch her, or even further contact, so that I can give a more accurate answer. ]

Shade nods, but he didn't act rashly, he just couldn't help sighing that even a young maid could have such power. The Council of Demoness must possess incredible power and secrets.

Because there are only five cards to scrutinize, and they all have an appraisal certificate, the appraisal process didn't take too long.

After the end, the entire group of the Prophet's Association walked in the front, Shade, old steward and the black-haired maid walked in the middle, and the servants of the old duke's mansion walked in the last, a group of more than 30 people. Come to the third floor together.

The banquet hall on the third floor was actually transformed from the restaurant used for entertaining guests in the mansion. It is obviously not as good as the one in Lake View Manor, but it is also equivalent to the size of the first floor of nearly three Shades. It is rare to find such a large place in the urban area of Tobesque.

The guests who have arrived one step ahead have already started chatting with acquaintances, most of them with their female companions. Well-dressed gentlemen and ladies in less formal maxi dresses go both ways in the social scene in the intoxicating rays of light of the chandeliers below the ceiling. But most of the invited people were Lord hobby players, so most of the chat topics revolved around the exciting Lord's game.

The original long table in the banquet hall has been removed, and now only a Lord's table is placed in the center, flanked by two simple wooden seats with backrests.

A row of sofas and coffee tables are placed beside the wall, but the sofas are all oriented toward the center, and there are no sets of three or two together. Now the servants in Duke Lucas's house are preparing fruit plates, snacks and black tea for each coffee table.

The oil painting hanging on the wall should be replaced temporarily, because the normal banquet hall or restaurant will not use the Rhodes card as the oil painting content.

Shade As people walked in here, his eyes quickly looked all around, very worried about finding the silhouettes of female writers, old priests, fortune-tellers and even blue-eyed doctors. Fortunately, they really had nothing to do with tonight's events, but while looking around, they unexpectedly met the young maid with brown hair, who was bending over to set the tea set.

“en?”

The maid quickly lowered her head, while Shade’s eyes widened slightly, then turned her head naturally, only looking at her from the corner of her eye:

"Miss Bayas?"

Shade couldn't see the look in his eyes at the moment, but he saw surprise in Miss Bayas' eyes just now.

The latter was wearing a heavy maid dress and uniform hair accessories, and the skin on his face was powdered so he looked dull and didn't see a normal pretty face. The girl with long brown hair was not very old at first, but at this time, she used a white lace-edged headband to tie her hair, which made her look more mature.

Seeing that Shade was still watching her out of the corner of the eye, the latter gestured to him while bending over to place the tea set. This time, Shade understood the simple gesture, which meant that he should not look this way all the time.

Turning his head, Shade continued to look at the guests and accidentally saw some people he knew from playing cards at Lakeview Manor, except that Lavender Baron and Rwanda Baron were not there.

"What is Miss Bayas doing here in this dress?"

Shade thought to himself, looking all around, trying to find out if there was anyone with Beas. Miss Yath is in the same ring as the others in the warlock squad, but not.

"That is to say, similar to the Lucky Southern Cross Club, this is still her own action. Should I leave immediately after playing cards, I always feel that there must be something abnormal when I meet her. something happened.”

The old duke, wearing the old army uniform of red, with a white belt around his waist, and a wheat ear decoration on his right shoulder, was originally near the gate, with two elderly men. Old gentlemen talking, one of them has a cube pendant around his neck.

Seeing that the door was opened, the people from the Prophet's Association came in. The duke with gray hair but looking like a strong old lion apologized to his companions, and immediately greeted him with a smile. Mark Vice-President shakes hands.

He is not tall, but he looks unusually strong.

After chatting a few words about the weather with the local Vice-President of the Prophet Society, he stood there watching Shade and Miss Tifa come together.

"Detective, this is Duke Lucas."

The black-haired maid clasped her hands together, and naturally drooped in front of her. She bent down slightly to introduce, and Shade immediately extend the hand.

"Duke, this is the Rhodes card player invited by the lady, Detective Hamilton."

The old duke's expression obviously knew Shade's identity in advance, so it was natural to reach out right hand , firmly hold Shade together. He laughed, the smile was kind, but the palms were really hard. Shade knew in advance who the old duke was, who was Corps Head of the Legion of Delarion's 1st Army when he was young:

"I've heard of you, Mr. Hamilton."
