On Sunday night a week ago, Xia De won the Rhodes card game with a very exciting game at about this time. And today, a week later, he added [Founding·Silver Moon] to the deck, and won the victory with a more exciting situation, without even dragging the game to the third round.
What happened last week was attributed to the luck generated by the dice counterattack script, and what happened this week is probably really lucky brought by [Founding Silver Moon].
"Founding Silver Moon!"
The crowd muttered softly at first, and then an astonishing sound broke out, as if a steam bomb had exploded here. People helped the smiling Viscount Ford up, and more people pushed forward to confirm that they were not dazzled.
In wave after wave of sound, Vice President Mark told people to retreat loudly. And sitting opposite Shad, Duke Lucas, who was leaning forward with his hands on the table, had a surprised expression on his face, as if he had discovered that Shad was pretending to be Miss Galina.
Vice President Mark, who was used to seeing the "big world", immediately announced that Xia De had won the first two rounds of the bet, thus winning the entire game.
Until then, Xia De's opponent, the old duke in the old red army uniform, asked the young detective in disbelief:
"Authentic?"
He still doesn't seem to believe it.
"Yes, Miss Galina has seen it."
"selling?"
Before Xia De shook his head, the black-haired maid behind him finally spoke. Her voice is very clear, just enough to be heard by everyone:
"Detective Hamilton is Miss Galina's friend, and the Rhodes card is jointly held by Miss Galina and the detective."
Of course, that card completely belongs to Shad, so to speak, just want to protect Shad.
"Well, since it belongs to Galina..."
The Duke shook his head, and looked at [Founding Silver Moon] on the table with some regret, unwilling to leave his eyes for a long time. Compared with this, losing the bet is not what he cares about the most:
"what a pity."
He shook his head again, then stood up without saying a word. He opened his mouth to say something to the detective who was arranging the deck, but in the end it was just congratulations:
"I don't have anything to complain about losing to [Founding Silver Moon]. It was a wonderful game. I haven't been this excited for a long time. Detective Hamilton, come with me."
Then he shouted to his guests:
"Gentlemen, this is nothing to be surprised about, please step aside."
The old prince's voice sounded like thunder.
He said that he doesn't regret losing, which is obviously impossible, but he is very good at controlling emotions, but the impatience in his voice is a good illustration of his true thoughts.
The onlookers also saw that the Duke was in a bad mood, so they took the initiative to give way.
Xia De understood that he was going to see Miss Galina, so he rearranged his deck and put away his cards. He greeted the people around to thank him, and then left the banquet hall with the maid and the Duke.
Many people told Xia De that he must come back to participate in the salon later, and most of the people here didn't see the [Founding Silver Moon] clearly just now.
When leaving here, Xia De noticed that Miss Bayas was missing again, and she didn't know what she was trying to do by sneaking in disguised as a maid. But what is certain is that the soothsayer with purple eyes is definitely not there, and she should go to the opera with Miss Louisa now.
After walking out of the banquet hall, Miss Galina was actually in the study room two doors away.
The maid asked Shad to wait on the sofa outside for a while, and then led Duke Lux to go further inside. Because of this, Xia De knew that even the old duke was very cautious towards the young Miss Galina.
"Galina Cavendish is the aunt of the current king, is it because of this relationship?"
The relationship between the royal family and the nobility is something that outsiders have never encountered before, and he can only infer from the content of the vulgar novels he has read.
The soundproofing of the room was very good, so Shad could only vaguely hear the two Dukes of the Kingdom of Delarion talking about the deployment of some important naval personnel in a short period of ten minutes.
When Duke Lucas left, he looked in good spirits, and shook hands with Shad again, letting him have a good time at the reception, but he didn't talk about the [Founding Silver Moon].
"Detective Hamilton, will you be participating in the big city players this fall?"
the Duke asked cheerfully.
"Of course, the Prophet Association has already invited me."
"Oh, this autumn, I really look forward to it."
The old duke left the room excitedly, and Xia De heard him calling to his butler loudly in the corridor to get the wine out of the wine cellar. The servant closed the door outside, and Miss Galina spoke through the door.
Every time the two met, they seemed to talk in this way, and Xia De was used to it.
"Good evening, Detective, you are doing very well."
The high-ringed sorceress is in a good mood:
"It's even better than I thought. It seems that inviting you to participate in the poker game is really the right choice."
"It's your luck."
Xia De said cautiously, the decoration style in the study is extraordinarily serious, Xia De can imagine that Duke Lucas spent countless nights discussing political and military affairs in secret with the distinguished guests who rushed here in the dark.
"It's also a credit to that [Founding Silver Moon]."
he added.
The conversation seemed to be stopped for a second, Xia De heard the sound of putting down the teacup, and Miss Galina sighed softly:
"It seems that you know the secret of the founding series of cards."
"No~www.mtlnovel.com~ I just know that the Vientiane Impermanence card can bring good luck."
Xia De said that Miss Galina did not hold back on these secrets:
"Even the Witch Council to which I belong only knows a small part of the secrets about the Impermanence Card. You hold it, and it chose you. Shade Hamilton, you are really good."
Galina Cavendish officially admitted that, as the king's aunt, she was actually a member of the Council of Witches.
"I know what you're thinking, that's right, I'm one of the thirteen great witches in the round table of the parliament, but don't worry, although some lunatics in the parliament are wanted by the Orthodox Church, I have not been listed on the church's reward Ling. Detective, do you want to know my Ring Warlock level?"
There was a smile in the woman's words, and Xia De guessed the attitude of the other party:
"certainly."
"Eleventh Ring."
A concise and direct answer, but Xia De found that he was not surprised at all, and even felt that this level was a bit low.
