Chapter 156 I wish you victory
As the old duke spoke, he found out that the detective's hand strength was not there After he got down, he let go of his hand with satisfaction:

"I heard about the match at Lakeview Manor last Sunday. It was really exciting. It's a pity I wasn't there. But just listening to their description, I knew that Tobeske finally has another Rhodes player."

Although he is old, he speaks in a full-fledged manner, and Shade can clearly feel the military temperament of the opponent, which is comparable to The temperament of Captain Laddes is even more obvious.

"Okay, very good! Playing Rhodes is fun if you're playing with a youngster like you."

The heartfelt smile on the Duke's face is impossible to do Fake, it's like, the fake smile and the heartfelt smile that comes from peeking at Knight's novel in class and seeing something wonderful are instantly distinguishable. Shade already knew what kind of person the other party was, and this was another, hopeless Rhodes hobbyist.

There is not much nonsense. Sand Dragon, the reception and the entertainment will be held after the game is over. Since both sides of the game have already appeared, it will start directly.

Most of the people here are here for the Rhodes card. There should be few people who know that the significance of the game lies in the transfer of naval personnel, so the atmosphere is very active.

The old duke sat on the chair on the left side of the long table, and the servant pulled the chair out for him. Shade was sitting on the chair on the right, and it was the black-haired maid who pulled the chair for him.

The guests who came to watch the game gathered around, not directly around the table like rude gamblers, but in groups of two or three, standing slightly away from the table, but You can also see the position of the card.

The room fell silent, and Mark Vice-President of the Society of Prophets walked over to the table and coughed. For the match convened by the two dukes, his identity as the host is just right:
"I won't say much about the extras. The participant in this match is Duke Lucas—"

Mark Vice-President nodded to the old duke, and then to Shade:

"And Detective Hamilton, who came on behalf of Miss Giamil.

Shade also nodded to Mark. mr nodded.

Miss Galina doesn't plan to show her face in front of everyone, but according to the young black-haired maid behind her, Miss Galina is on this floor, waiting for the outcome of the game.

"Is this social phobia? No, does it mean that 'men hate' has reached such a level?"

Shade thought to himself, but suddenly worried that Gaohuan Warlock would be separated. I can read minds even from several layers of walls, so I don't dare to think about it.

"This match will be played with the best of three rules. In each round, the first player to win three times wins the round. If both sides keep busting cards, the player who draws his own deck first will be the first player to win the game. Lose this game."

Shade noticed a plump noble lady standing not far from his side was looking at him, and he glanced at the noble lady out of the corner of his eye, and realized that the other party was about to over forty years old.

"Before the game starts, we invite three gentlemen to check the Duke and Detective's decks together for final confirmation."

This is an informal tournament rule to prevent prophecy National associations have also been bribed. Of course, only this kind of aristocratic poker game would be so troublesome. Mark Vice-President's speech time was enough to finish half the game.

Invited to check the deck were Skaven Baron with a nice mustache, Hull Baron with what looked like horseshoe boots on his feet, and hair grey-white looking about to be The sixty-year-old Viscount Ford, all three wore black formal suits of similar style.

The three of them picked up Duke Lucas's deck first, checked and nodded, exclaiming from time to time, which made Shade's opponent extraordinarily proud.

It took a few minutes to check, but it's really just a formality. Then, after greeting the detective again, he picked up his deck of cards from his left hand.

The main deck of Shade's deck is the deck of cards that she picked up from the roof of the pet fostering center when she picked up Mi Ya. Although a bit older, the older decks seem to be played a lot.

He sandwiched the five cards with special rules in the center, and the gentlemen who looked at the deck soon saw the first card [Ancient Fairy Tale Match Girl].

Shade heard Hull Baron mutter the name "Lavender Baron", apparently acquaintances. It was followed by the second card [primordial Steam Engine Mark 9] and the third card [Old Continent Eastern Style Tease Lake], the three of them smiled while watching, which was also a rare card. When I saw [Northern City, Lengshuigang City], I couldn't help but exchanged it. This card seems to be very famous, and I don't know where Professor Manning got it from.

Then, Hull Baron, who was holding the deck, was the first to see [Founding Silver Moon].

He blinked at the card in his hand, then shrunk his neck and stretched his head to take a closer look at the things in his hand:

"Uh~"

A strange sound came out of his throat, his whole body seemed to be hit by a bullet, his hands trembled with a frequency visible to naked eyes. His eyes widened, as if the eyeballs were about to pop out, and his mouth was slightly open, like a dementia patient.

"What's the matter? What rare cards are there in the detective's deck?"

The other two gentlemen beside him whispered, as if to blame him for making a fuss about nothing. Since they were standing on both sides of Hull Baron, they looked over at the card together.

"Uh~"

Skaven Baron also made a strange sound, he stretched out his generous hand with a gemstone ring to cover his mouth, but his eyes were bursting. It looks like Hull Baron.

The older Viscount Ford was more mature. He turned his head and looked towards Mark Vice-President of the Prophet Association, and asked tremblingly:
"Is this the real thing?"

"Yes."

The latter was nodded, and then there was a commotion in the room, because people saw the old Viscount Ford suddenly face looks sinister and covered his heart position .

The panicked servants tried to come to help, but the Viscount waved away:

"No need~"

He squeezed this voice out of his teeth:

"I can't bear to pass out until I finish watching this match."

Then forcibly took his hand away from his chest, and his flushed face actually recovered little by little. Normal:

"I must watch this game."

Very rough, taking Shade's card from Hull Baron, who still hasn't recovered from the shock Group. He stared at [Founding Silver Moon] for a few seconds before returning the deck to the detective.

This made Skaven Baron react, but found that he had no chance to touch the card with his own hands, and was extremely annoyed.

"What did you see? Rare cards? Which series? Why are you so exaggerated? If I hadn't known you for a long time, I might have thought that you were hired by Galina to act. Come to disturb my mood before the game."

Old Duke Lucas sat on the other side of the table and asked curiously, but the three gentlemen shook their heads at a very uniform frequency:
"Nothing. Didn't see it, good luck."

Their voices overlapped, and they sounded has several points of comedy.
