Chapter 158 The Great Demon Girl

On Sunday night a week ago, Shade was around the same time , won the Rhodes card bet with a very exciting hand. 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 game.

Last week's events were attributed to the luck generated by the dice counterattack script, and this week's events are probably really the luck brought by [Founding Silver Moon].

"Founding·Silver Moon!"

The crowd murmured softly at first, and then an astonishing sound broke out, as if a steam bomb exploded here. People supported the smiling Viscount Ford, while more people squeezed forward to confirm that they were not dazzled.

In wave after wave of noise, Mark Vice-President loudly made people back off. Sitting opposite Shade, Duke Lucas, who was leaning forward with his hands on the table, had a surprised expression on his face, as if he found out that Shade was Miss Galina in disguise.

Mark Vice-President, who was used to seeing the "big world", immediately announced that Shade had won the first two games of the bet, thus winning the whole game.

Until then, Shade's opponent, the old duke in the old red army uniform, asked the young detective incredulously:

"Authentic?"

He still doesn't seem to believe it.

"Yes, Miss Galina has seen it."

"Sell it?"

Before Shade shakes his head, the black-haired maid behind him finally speaks . Her voice is very clear, and her voice can be heard by everyone:

"Detective Hamilton is a friend of Miss Galina, and the Rhodes card is held by Miss Galina and the detective. Yes."

That card of course belongs entirely to Shade, so to speak, just to protect Shade.

"That's it, since it belongs to Galina"

The Duke shook his head and looked at the [Founding Silver Moon] on the table with some regret, his eyes reluctant to leave for a long time . Compared to this, losing the gamble was not his main concern:
"What a pity."

He shook his head again, then stood up without saying a word. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something to the detective who was arranging the deck, but in the end it was just congratulations:
"I have nothing to complain about losing to [Founder Silver Moon], it's a wonderful game, I haven't been so excited for a long time. Detective Hamilton, come with me."

Then he shouted to his guests:
"Gentlemen, this is nothing to make a fuss about nothing, please let it go."

The old duke's voice sounded like thunder.

He said that he had no regrets about losing, obviously impossible, but he was very good at controlling his emotions, but the impatience in his voice well explained his true thoughts.

The onlookers also saw that the Duke was in a bad mood, so they took the initiative to give way.

Shade understands that this is going to see Miss Galina, so he rearranged his deck and greeted the people around him thanking him before leaving the banquet hall with the maid and the duke.

Many people asked Shade to come back for a while to continue participating in Sand Dragon. Most of the people here didn't see the [Founding·Silver Moon] clearly just now.

While leaving here, Shade noticed that Miss Beas was gone again, and didn't know what she was trying to do by sneaking in as a maid. But what is certain is that the purple-eyed fortune-teller is definitely not there, and she should go to the opera with Miss Luisa now.

After walking out of the banquet hall, Miss Jialina was actually in the study room separated by two doors.

Even in his own home, Duke Lucas knocked on the door before entering. Shade thought that he would finally be able to meet Miss Jialina this time, but didn't expect the study room to be that two-story style.

The maid asked Shade to stay on the sofa High Level outside for a while, and then led Duke Lucas to go further inside. Shade also knew that even the old duke was very cautious about 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 nobles is something that foreigners have never seen before. He can only infer from the content of the vulgar novels he has read.

The soundproofing of the room was very good, so Shade could only vaguely hear the two Dukes of the Delarion Kingdom talking about the deployment of some important naval officers in a short ten minutes.

When Duke Lucas left, he looked in good spirits and shook hands with Shade again, making him have a good time at the cocktail party for a while, but he didn't talk about the [Founding·Silver Moon] again. matter.

"Hamilton Detective, will you be participating in this fall's Ayutthaya game?"

The Duke happily asked.

"Of course, the Prophet Society has already invited me."

"Oh, this fall, I'm really looking forward to it."

Old Duke Leaving the room in high spirits, Shade heard him in the corridor, calling his steward loudly to take out the wine in the wine cellar. The servant closed the door outside the door, and only then did Miss Galina speak through a door.

It seemed like this was the way the two of them talked every time they met, and Shade was used to it.

"Detective, good evening, you are doing very well."

The high-ring female warlock is in a good mood:
"It's better than I thought, It seems that it is the right choice to invite you to the poker game."

"It's your good luck."

Shade said cautiously, the decoration style of the study room Extraordinarily serious, Shade can imagine that Duke Lucas spent countless nights secretly discussing political and military major events with the distinguished guests who rushed in in the dark.

“It’s also the credit of the [Founding Silver Moon].”

He added.

The conversation seemed to be stopped for a second, Shade heard the sound of putting down the teacup, and Miss Galina sighed in a low voice:

"It seems that you know the founding series of cards. The secrets."

"No, I just know that the myriad forms impermanence cards bring good luck."

Shade said that Miss Galina didn't skimp on these secrets either:
"The secrets about the impermanence card of myriad forms, even the Demoness Council to which I belong, know only a fraction. You hold it, it chooses you. Shade Hamilton, you are really good."

Galina Cavendish has officially admitted that, as the king's aunt, she is actually a member of the Demoness Council.

"I know what you're thinking, yes, I'm one of the thirteen Great Demon girls in the round table of the parliament, but don't worry, although some lunatics in the parliament are wanted by the Church of the Righteous God, but I didn't get on the church's bounty. Detective, do you want to know my warlock level?"

There was a smile in the woman's words, and Shade guessed the other party's attitude:

"Of course."

"Eleventh ring."

A concise and direct answer, and Shade found himself not surprised at all, and even felt that this level was a bit low .
