Chapter 580 Priest Last Words
So, on this autumn night, the foreigners experienced a wonderful After the poker game, he truly won the title of "The King of Rhodes Cards of Ayutthaya Players in 1853".

After the game is over, the official awards ceremony will be held according to the procedure. Shade recalled later that he couldn't remember how many people he shook hands with. He only remembered that people cheered and applauded him. The Vice-President of the Association Headquarters shook hands, and then got a 3,000-pound bill of exchange, as well as the special rule Rhodes card, Star 12 [Big City Player · 1853 Tobesque Champion].

Other rewards sponsored by local clubs and shops, Shade needs to sign some documents at the association within a week to receive. And that trophy, Shade intends to put it in his living room, so that every guest and client who comes to visit can see it.

As for that special card, the rules for all "Champion of Big City Players" series cards are the same. When this card is drawn, you have the right to check a hidden card that your opponent has not revealed. Players jokingly call it "championship power."

Although not as good as the [Founding] series, the rules of "Champion of Ayutthaya Gamers" are really quite simple and useful compared to all the other wacky rules Shade has come across.

And the significance of this card lies not only in value, but also in honor. And if Shade is willing to sell this card, the selling price is definitely greater than the bonus figure.

After all, every Rhodes card of the [Big City Players Champion] series is a Rhodes card that will never be released again in the true sense.

The only surprise in the awarding process is that the association will take a single photo of Shade as usual, and hang it in a separate room at the General Assembly of the Prophet Association, alongside other past champions. Although Shade didn't want to show too much of his appearance to strangers, he agreed that the photos would be placed in a separate room and not open to all visitors.

After all, this is a sense of ceremony, and it can be regarded as the most profound trace left by foreigners in this world so far.

At the end of the game, Shade, who was sighed in relief, took the cat and the maid to the next dinner party.

Although Tifa often accompanies Miss Galina to various banquets, she appears as a maid most of the time. Like now, there is a little chance of attending banquets as a party participant. Not much.

The two enjoyed the banquet until the last dance was over before they left together.

Ms. Galina arranged for the carriage and stopped at St. Teresa Square to pick up Tifa, so they walked to St. Teresa Square together in the dark.

But as soon as I entered the square, I saw two carriages parked in front of Shade's house. The smoking coachmen were standing together chatting, while Shade's boss, Director Anros, looked up at the lighting of the buildings around Saint Derain Square.

“Shade!”

He waved at Shade, and when the two approached, he cautiously greeted Tifa:

“Serviter” Miss, it's a pleasure to meet you here."

"Ser Anros, good evening."

Tifa responded politely, pulling Shade's coat over her shoulders Give it back to him. Winking and kissing the young detective's side face:
"Good night, goodbye, Shade, good dreams."

"Good dreams!"

Shade and Tifa waved goodbye, Tifa also reached out to touch Mia on Shade's shoulder, but was blocked by Mia's small paws.

The maid got on the carriage, and after saying goodbye to Shade again from the car window, the carriage drove her away from Sainte-de-Land Square. During this period, Director Dak Anlos quietly stood behind Shade and made no comment.

"I remember, your neighbor is Mr. Smith?"

After Tifa left, the first sentence of the gentleman's mouth was like a small talk.

"Yes, I remember he used to be the secretary of the kingdom's treasury department."

Shade said, took out the key to open the door, but was stopped by Director Anros:

"I won't go up, congratulations, Shade, the game is very exciting."

He obviously didn't go to the Prophet's Association, but he seemed to know everything.

"Thank you."

"So, has Virgil Cameron changed? He bought a train ticket for tomorrow morning and will be returning to the dukedom in Seth tomorrow, and tonight if If there is no abnormality, I am afraid there will be no chance.”

Obviously it is a very critical issue, but Director Anros can still mention it in a very calm tone.

The two stood between the carriage and the door, the shadow of the carriage obscuring them, and Shade was cautious:
"Virgil Cameron didn't play with anyone but me. What contact has there been during the period. Of course, this is just my opinion, maybe the other party has some special means."

He spoke frankly, and then added:
"If the gray-headed eagle really appears, then The other party must have communicated with Cameron when I closed my eyes."

"Close your eyes" is a metaphor here, meaning when Shade is not paying attention.

"As expected, the other party is an ace spy after all."

Director Anros said softly.

"It's not without gain, though."

Shade pretended to hesitate before saying:
"I was in the game with Virgil Cameron. Long contacted him, and when he chatted about the city of Midhill, he was a little unusual."

So, Shade made up his own speech, that is, Mr. Cameron heard "Midhill." The abnormal performance at the time of the city of Erburg was spoken out.

Director Anros frowned while listening, and finally narrowed his eyes nodded:
"Medhill Fort? That city is very close to the dukedom of Set. I see, it's very useful. ."

He didn't tell Shade Six about his attitude to this message:

"But don't take such a risk in the future, if you have a problem, I can't tell Galina Miss explain."

"Since I am a member of MI6, I naturally have to do things for MI6."

Shade said very seriously, this remark made Director Anros reveal With a smile:
"If everyone under me is like you, then it's very good."

"Like me."

Although Shade's expression did not change , but the woman beside her ear had already laughed lightly.

"Well then, Shade, it's time for me to leave too. Remember, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't get involved."

Commissioner Anlos patted Shade's shoulder :

"You will be notified in a few days about the increase in your salary. That's nice, the 1853 Ayutthaya Players Champion."

He smiled nodded, and then also Take the carriage to leave St. Teresa Square.

Shade, carrying a cat on his back, watched the carriage of Director Anlos disappear from the street corner of the square under the street lamp at the door of the house.

Instead of going home immediately, she squinted her eyes and looked up towards the moon above her head:
"Is my identity becoming more and more complicated?"

【Outlander , when you wander this world and witness these stories, the direction of fate is your own choice. ]

"Yes."

Shade sniffs, noticing the cat on his shoulder paws at his collar again. Shade was surprised to extend the hand, pulling out a long black hair from his collar. There is only one black hair girl Shade knows, so the hair must be Tifa's.

I took a hesitant sniff, and there was indeed the smell of that special perfume "the smell of Demoness".

"This action makes me look like a pervert. But it's an interesting souvenir."

He shook his head and reached out to open the door.

The hair and the £3,000 money order were stuffed into the drawer in the study by Shade, the trophy was placed on the cabinet in the living room, and the special coin "bought" from Mr. Cameron was put into the gift in the basement first In the box, the pen with information will be passed on tomorrow.

After packing everything up, Shade stood in the living room and let out a sigh of relief. He plans to give himself a holiday tonight, instead of reading until the early morning, he will go to bed earlier. Wait until the sun rises again in the east to plan your schedule for the next half-week.

He has a lot of things to do. The key to 3014 has been delayed for three days, and Augustus first should have arrived at Fort Midhill, and he is still waiting to receive it. Postcard from priest.

"Today, nothing will disturb my good mood."

While brushing his teeth in the bathroom mirror in his pajamas, Shade thought to himself, very nice.

[Really? ]

She sighed softly in his ear:

[Do you feel that a similar conversation has ever happened? ]

Shade, with a toothbrush in his mouth, looked towards the mirror in front of him. In the mirror, there was no one behind him:
"Of course I remember, before the [Blood Feast Lord] came for the second time, We had a similar conversation. But tonight Evil God was impossible again, and there was no sign. So even if I fell asleep for a while, I had nightmares like 'Shade died fighting Mia' It won't affect my mood."

He thought happily.

After washing, check the doors and windows of the home, turn off the bedroom gas light, draw the curtains, and climb into the soft bed. Mia had already jumped onto the bed and walked around beside the pillow, as if searching for the softest spot.

Shade sat on the bed and waved to the desk in the bedroom. A stack of 54 Rhodes cards placed in the corner of the table flew in in turn, and then lined up in four rows in front of Shade. There are 13 cards in each row, with the king and queen floating aside.

Mia, standing beside her pillow, looked up at the floating cards, and Shade tapped each special card in turn:

"That's good."

With a wave of his hand, the cards fly to the bedside table one after another, where they are stacked in a stack. Shade got into the bed, smiled and touched Mia by the pillow, saying goodnight to the cat. Reaching out to turn off the gas lamp on the bedside table, Shade patted the pillow, lay down and closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep in the dark.

Consciousness sinks into drowsiness, and in the safety of home, even vigilant out-of-towners can enjoy sleep. It's just that, in the dream, the low and ethereal, illusory and hoarse voice is repeating again and again, a little bit:
"Shade Hamilton, open your eyes, I'm Lat O. Gus. These are my last words to you from the world of the dead."
