So Xia De spent the rest of the day on Monday accompanying Miss Galina. Although she only asked Shad to have dinner and watch an opera with her, in fact, the two never separated from this afternoon to ten o'clock in the evening.
It took some time to discuss the matter of Darkness. After dinner, in the box of the Opera House, Shad heard that Miss Xi Wei Aurora had left the city of Coldwater Port.
"Oh, I should go see her off."
Xia De was a little annoyed, but the lady gave him a lot of help.
"Xi Wei doesn't care about this, and if she still wants to see you, I can definitely lead you into the parliament again."
Miss Galina said, seeing that Tifa closed the door of the box, she said again:
"However, we will still conduct an investigation regarding your relationship with the witch and the council."
"I'm actually interested too."
Xia De didn't care about this, he was looking at the box in the theater at this moment. The space here is larger than he thought. If one side of the wall hadn't been cut in half to allow guests to see the theater stage below, it would be more like a club's reception room.
The walls are covered with gold striped wallpaper, and the gas lamps are the Cavendish family crest. In the room, besides the coffee table with tea and fruit, the couch, there are even wardrobes and dressing tables that seem to be expensive.
This box on the top floor of the opera house is reserved for the royal family. Except for Miss Galina, the king and queen, and a few important figures of the royal family, even Rezia cannot be easily used.
"Xi Wei, let me apologize to you in her place."
Miss Galina said again, Xia De picked up the teacup and wanted to taste what kind of tea it was, while the cat curled up on Xia De's shoulder and probed its brain to observe the environment. Xia De planned to give it an apple and let it roll around for fun.
"Why do you apologize?"
He asked absently, sipping the cup of hot tea that was still warm.
"She, after you passed out with the sunshine gun in Lengshuigang, she checked your body with her hands to determine whether you are a man."
"cough cough"
Xia De almost spit out the tea in his mouth.
But the liquid seemed to have entered the trachea, he couldn't stop coughing, and the maid immediately patted his back behind him.
After he stopped coughing, Xia De let go of the hand covering his mouth, and asked in surprise:
"What did Miss Aurora do just now?"
"Just as you think, confirm your body structure."
Miss Galina made an obscene gesture out of character for her:
"She, she is not the kind of sneaky person, so you have to admit what you have done."
"Then why didn't she meet me face to face?"
Xia De asked again.
"Detective, do you really want a high-class lady to admit to her face that she has done such a thing? Even if we are witches, we still have a basic sense of shame."
asked the Duchess, looking down Shad's face.
"Miss Galina, this kind of look is not what a lady in high society should have."
Xia De accused, the Duchess didn't care at all, but laughed instead:
"In my opinion, you are my collection, so what does it matter? Haven't I done it before? If you can really please me, I don't mind."
Tell the black-haired maid to go outside and find someone to change the tea-soaked sofa cushion:
"I don't mind trying to see for myself what you are."
Unlike when she mentioned this matter when she first met Xia De, she should be a little shy at this time, otherwise she wouldn't spend her personal maid.
The name of today's opera is "Prince's Revenge". Although it is similar to the classic opera that outsiders knew when they were in their hometown, it is actually an opera adapted from a famous knight a few years ago, which is completely different from the stories in their hometown.
The opera has five acts in total, and Xia De is still very interested in it because he doesn't know the original work. While watching the opera, someone actually came to visit Miss Galina in the box, recognized Shad after seeing him, and shook hands with him for a chat.
Because of this, it was hard for Xia De to imagine what rumors would spread after this.
Of course, the visitors were not only here to see Miss Galina, the Marquis of Charles Grassley was here to see Shad.
This forty-year-old Marquis, wearing a top hat, a blue formal suit, and a beautiful moustache, is a friend of the old Duke Lucas who once played Rhodes with Shad. After hearing that Xia De had the [Founding] series of Rhodes cards in his hand, he always wanted to play with Xia De.
Of course Xia De didn't mind, but the witch who hated men didn't want others to delay her time to watch the opera, so she asked Xia De and the Marquis to play cards elsewhere.
The two were just playing a friendly match. Although they won and lost, but under Xia De's insistence
Bet no gold pounds. As a result, of course Shad won, and the Marquis Grassley, who saw Shad draw out Moon 9 [Devil Soul Stealer Bishop], was very excited to ask Shad after he was allowed to view the card. Attended Queen Diana's birthday party at the end of this month.
"Although I haven't received an invitation yet, I think I will participate."
Xia De said while gathering his cards, Miss Galina must have a way to get him to attend.
When the Marquis Grassley said this, it seemed that both eyes were shining.
"Is it good to hold a game of cards at the queen's birthday party?"
Xia De asked hesitantly, but the Marquis waved his hand indifferently:
"Look at you, knight, what's wrong with that? Queen Diana's birthday party was originally for people to have fun, not to mention the Rhodes card with special cards involved, which is a very elegant hobby, and our card This game can be regarded as a warm-up for the big city players next month."
The Marquis put away his deck, his expression became serious, and he reached out to Xia De:
"Then Knight Hamilton, we are all right, we must play a game on the day of the banquet. I didn't expect to meet you at the Opera House today, so I didn't bring my special card, but on the day of the Queen's birthday banquet, we will use a special card It's a gamble."
Hearing the special cards, Xia De also showed a smile. He intends to collect special cards and make a whole deck of special cards:
"No problem, Marquis, I will bring [Founding Silver Moon] with me then."
Now it is not two months ago, Xia De is no longer the unknown detective of Tobesk, and he is not without the power to protect himself, so even if more people know about [Founding·Silver Moon], he will not be too worried.
"It would be great."
The two held hands together. Although there was a big difference in age and noble rank, as Rhodes players of Tobesk, they were qualified to compete on an equal footing.
Miss Galina didn't comment on Shad's hobby of Rhodes. During the rest of the time in the opera house, she only discussed the content of the opera with Shad, and commented on the ridiculousness of arty nobles in a big city like Tobesk. And laughed at Xia De for knowing nothing about opera.
This is not an unreasonable accusation, Xia De really knows nothing. Not compared to Miss Galina, whom I have been familiar with since childhood, even the black-haired maid lady knows more than him.
"Do you want me to hire you a few, etiquette and counting tutors?"
Miss Galina asked jokingly, Xia De immediately shook his head. He was very confident in numbers, he could follow Dorothy, he could do his own manners, and there was no need for a teacher.
And when the opera was over, the carriage took Xia De back to the Saint-Andrés Square. But that night, Xia De was not idle. He took advantage of the night to go to Coldwater Harbor again, and left a list of Dr. Schneider's materials at the Seven Broomsticks Tavern, asking the Tavern to help him buy it.
Xia De will not forget to promise his friends.
Tuesday is the time for Rezia to return to Tobesk, but the royal guard of honor will go to greet her. After that, Rezia needs to go to the Yodel Palace to report her trip in Carson Rik to King Larus III and accept newspaper interviews , so Xia De should not even think about seeing her alone in the last two days.
After eating early in the morning and letting the cat stay at home, Xia De went to the Prophet Association to find Luvia and showed her the [Wishing Coin]:
"Look at this! I just wanted to do a divination recently."
Xia De smiled and handed the coin to Luvia. Luvia put on light makeup before going to work. In the hazy morning light, she looked extremely energetic.
"[Wish Coin], did you buy this from Lengshuigang?"
She twisted the coin to examine it.
"No, Miss Galina gave it."
"The witch?"
The purple-eyed girl put down the coin again, and looked at Xia De anxiously:
"Xia De, what price did you pay this time?"
"nothing."
He didn't want to have dinner and an opera with Miss Galina by himself.
Luvia showed a more disturbed expression:
"You sacrificed too much for us."
"No no, it's really nothing."
"But witches have a bad reputation, and they like women and hate men. Sorry, Xia De, you really paid too much for us."
Xia De didn't know what Luvia thought he had paid, but asked him to explain that this series of things was too complicated, so he simply bypassed the topic:
"I want you to use this coin for divination."
"Divination? Is it the position of Ivan Darkness? Or [Darkness]'s Chosen Ceremony? But one coin may not be enough~www.mtlnovel.com~Lu Wei
Ya flicked her hair and asked while playing with coins absently.
"No, Miss Galina has already told me the location of Darkness. The Witch Council also has very powerful fortune tellers. Don't look at me like this. I really didn't pay anything. I just want you to do a fortune telling. How can I get it? The relic [Magic Hunting Seal]."
Shad talked about his experience when he met Mr. Riddle for the second time, and then he talked about the potion and the seal:
"Currently Darkness has three problems, his six-ring warlock level, the demon that absorbs negative emotions, and [Darkness] talent. Among them, [Darkness] talent is suppressed by Iluna's [Balance]. We are strong, but within the expected range. Only demons are the most unstable factor, even though I have obtained a treasured potion against demons, there is still no guarantee that we can deal with demons."
Luvia nodded:
"You got your [Weak Angel Potion] last time? The speed is really fast, but I really haven't heard of this potion, nor have I heard that Tobesk has such a powerful potion master."
After receiving the test tube handed over by Xia De to examine it, Luvia almost immediately noticed the strong miraculous elements and spirit in it.
She raised her eyebrows:
"Your analysis is quite right, so the biggest problem right now is fighting against the human pus demon. Yes, I can use this coin for divination. But Xia De, divination is not a panacea, and divination is not a wishing technique. You need to give me more Detailed requirements, the more detailed information you provide, the more details a coin can divination."
