Chapter 469 Invitation to the Banquet Game

So Shade spent the rest of the day on Monday On the escort of Miss Galina. Although she only asked Shade to have dinner and watch the opera with her, the two were not separated from this afternoon until ten o'clock at night.

It took some time to discuss Darkness, and after dinner in the Opera House box, Shade heard that Miss Shivi Avrolla had left Coldwater Harbor.

"Oh, I should have sent her off."

Shade was a little annoyed, but the lady helped him a lot.

"Xi Wei doesn't care about this, and if she still wants to see you, I can lead you to the council again."

Miss Galina said, seeing Tifa close the box opened the door, and added:
"However, we will still investigate what you have to do with Demoness and the Council."

"I'm actually interested too."

Shade didn't care, he was looking at the theater box. The space here is larger than he thought. If one side of the wall is not cut in half, so that guests can see the theater stage below, it is more like a club's reception room.

Golden striped wallpaper on the walls and gas lamps in the style of the Cavendish Xu Family crest. In the room, in addition to the coffee table and long sofa with tea and fruit, there are even wardrobes and dressers that seem to be expensive.

This box on the top floor of the Opera House is reserved for the royal family. Except for the important figures of Miss Galina, the king and queen, and a few royal families, not even Laysia can easily use them.

"Xi Wei said, let me take her place and apologize to you."

Miss Galina said again, Shade raised the teacup and wanted to taste what kind of tea it was. The cat shrunk on Shade's shoulder and stick one's head around to look for the observation environment. Shade planned to give it an apple later and let it roll around.

"Why are you apologizing?"

He asked absently, sipping the warm cup of tea.

"She said that after you threw the Sunshine Gun unconscious in Coldwater Harbor, she checked your body with her hands to determine if you were a man."

"cough cough ."

Shade nearly spit out the tea in his mouth.

But the liquid seemed to get into the trachea, he couldn't stop coughing, and the maid immediately slapped him on the back behind him.

When she stopped coughing, Shade released her hand covering her mouth and asked in surprise:

"What did you say Miss Avrora did?"

p>

"Just as you think, check your body structure."

Miss Galina made an obscene gesture that didn't fit her identity:
"She said , she's not the kind of sneaky person, so she has to admit what she's done."

"Then why didn't she tell me face to face?"

Shade asked again.

"Detective, do you really want a lady in the upper class to admit that she has done such a thing? Even if we are demoness, we still have a basic sense of shame."

asked the Duchess, looking down from Shade's face.

"Miss Galina, this kind of look is not what a lady in high society should have."

Shade accused the Duchess of not caring at all, but laughed instead:
"In my opinion, your whole person is my collection, what does it matter? Didn't I say it before? If you can really please me, I don't mind."

Let the black hair maid go outside to find someone to replace the sofa cushion wet with tea:
"I don't mind trying it out myself."

Yu Gang When I met Shade, it was different. She should be a little shy at this time, otherwise she wouldn't spend her personal maid talking.

The name of today's opera is "Prince's Revenge". Although it is very similar to the classic operas known to foreigners in their hometown, it is actually an opera based on the famous Knight novel a few years ago. Completely different from the hometown story.

The opera has five acts, and Shade is very interested in it because he doesn't know the original novel. While watching the opera, someone came to visit Miss Galina in the box. After seeing Shade, they recognized him and shook hands with him.

As a result, it's hard for Shade to imagine what rumors will spread after this.

Of course, the visitors weren't just there to see Miss Galina, the Marquis of Charles Grassley came to see Shade.

The forty-something-year-old Marquis in a top hat, blue suit, and a beautiful mustache is a friend of the old Duke Lucas, who once played Lords with Shade. After I heard that Shade had the [Founding] series of Rhodes cards, I always wanted to play with Shade.

Of course Shade doesn't mind, but Demoness, who hates men, doesn't want others to spoil her interest in the opera, so Shade and the Marquis go to play cards elsewhere.

The two were just playing a friendly match. Although they won or lost, at Shade's insistence, they didn't use gold pounds as a bet. The result is of course that Shade won, and Marquis Grassley, who saw Shade draw Moon 9 [Demon · Soul Stealer Bishop], was very excited to ask Shade if he would participate in the end of this month after being allowed to check the cards. Queen Diana's birthday party.

"I haven't received an invitation yet, but I think I will."

Shade said as he gathered his cards, Miss Galina must have a way to get him Attend.

"That's good, my friends and I have gathered local Rhodes players at that banquet, and plan to play a few games."

Grasley When the Marquis said this, it was as if both eyes were shining.

"Would it be good to hold a game at the Queen's birthday party?"

Shade asked hesitantly, but the Marquis waved his hand indifferently:
"Look what you said. Yes, Knight, what's so bad about it? Queen Diana's birthday party is for people to have fun, even more how there are special cards involved in Rhodes, but very elegant hobby, and our game is also It's a warm-up for next month's Ayutthaya players."

The Marquis collected his deck, his expression became serious, and extended the hand to Shade:

"Then Hamilton Knight, we agreed, we must play a game on the day of the banquet. Didn't expect to meet you at the Opera House today, so I didn't bring my special card, but on the queen's birthday party, we have to bet with special cards One game."

Shade also smiled when he heard the special cards, but he planned to collect special cards and make up a whole deck of special cards:

"No Question, Marquis, when the time comes I will carry [Founding Silvermoon]."

It's not two months ago, and Shade is no longer that unknown detective from Tobesque, and not without self-confidence The power of protection, so even if more people know about [Founder Silver Moon], he won't be too worried.

"Then it's very good."

The two of them held hands together. Although they were far apart in age and noble level, they were Rhodes players in Tobesque. , they are eligible to compete equally.

Miss Galina doesn't comment on Shade's Rhodes hobby, and spends the rest of her time in the opera just discussing opera with Shade and commenting on the arty hobby in a big city like Tobesque. The aristocrats are ridiculous, and laugh at Shade for not knowing anything about opera.

It's not an unreasonable accusation, Shade really doesn't know anything about it. Not to mention that even the black-haired maid knows more than him compared to the young lady Galina.

"Would you like me to invite you some family teachers in literature, etiquette and mathematics?"

Miss Galina asked jokingly, Shade immediately shook her head. He was very confident in mathematics, he could learn literature from Dorothy, he could learn etiquette by himself, and there was no need to hire a teacher.

And when the opera was over, the carriage sent Shade back to St. Teresa Square. But Shade was not idle that night. He took advantage of the night to go to Coldwater Harbor again, and at the Seven Broom Tavern, he left Dr. Schneider's list of materials and asked the tavern to help buy it.

Shade doesn't forget to promise friends.

Tuesday is the time for Larus III to return to Tobesque, but the royal guard of honor will greet her, and then Larus III will need to report to Larousse III at the Yordle Palace that she is in Carson. Gram's itinerary, interviewed by newspapers, so Shade doesn't want to see her alone in the past two days.

After eating early in the morning and letting the cat watch the house, Shade went to the Prophet Society to find Luvia and showed her the [Wish Coin]:
"Look at this! I just wanted to do a divination recently.”

Shade smiled and handed the coin to Luvia, who put on light makeup before going to work, and in the hazy morning light, she looked very energetic.

"[Wish Coin], this is what you bought from Coldwater Harbor?"

She twisted the coin to examine it.

"No, it's from Miss Galina."

"That Demoness?"

The purple-eyed girl put down the coin again, looking uneasy. towards Shade :
"Shade, what price did you pay this time?"

"Nothing."

He didn't want to say that he ate with Miss Carina. and watched the opera.

Luvia looked even more disturbed:

"You've sacrificed too much for us."

"No, no, it's really nothing. "

"But the demoness's have a bad reputation, and they're notorious for liking women and hating men. Sorry Shade, you really did too much for us."

Shade didn't know what Luvia thought he paid, but let him explain that this series of things was too cumbersome, so he simply bypassed the topic:

"I hope you use This coin is used for divination.”

“What is the divination? The position of Ivan Darkness? Or the chosen ceremony of [Darkness]? But one coin may not be enough.”

Luvia flipped her hair and asked absentmindedly playing with the coins.

"No no, Miss Galina has already told me where Darkness is, and the Demonness Council also has diviners who are very difficult to deal with. Don't look at me like that, I really didn't pay anything. I I want you to do a divination on how to get the relic [Seal of the Demon Hunter]."

Shade talked about his experience when he met Mr. Riddle for the second time, and then talked about potions And the thing about that seal:

"Darkness currently has three problems, his six-ring warlock level, the demon that absorbs negative emotions, and [darkness] innate talent. Among them [darkness] innate talent depends on Iluna's [Balance] is used to suppress it. Although the power of the sixth ring is stronger than ours, it is still within the expected range. Only the demon is the most unstable factor, even though I have already obtained a rare tube to fight the demon. The magic potion, but we still can't guarantee that we can deal with the devil."

Luvia nodded:

"The [weak angel potion] you mentioned last time has been obtained. The speed is really fast, but I really haven't heard of this kind of potion, and I haven't heard of Tobesko having such a powerful potion Master."

Take the hand from Shade Looking at the test tube, Luvia noticed the rich Miracle elements and spirit almost immediately.

She raised her eyebrows:

"You're right in your analysis, so the biggest trouble right now is to fight against the human pus demon. Yes, I can use this coin for divination. But Shade, divination is not omnipotent, and divination is not wishing. You need to give me more detailed requirements, the more detailed information you provide, the more details a coin can predict."

PS1: I didn't plan to add an update last night. I accidentally set the wrong time, and I also posted an update that should have been posted tonight. Because the chapters cannot be withdrawn, I simply posted the original one this morning and last night. This is why three chapters were updated last night, and they were still large chapters.

PS2: The descriptions of the poker plot in this chapter are omitted. First, because it does not involve the main line and there is no Rhodes card bet, and second, because there will be an official poker plot soon, so I won't count the words here.

PS3: The strength of the Darkness Six Rings mentioned in this chapter is not a big problem, it does not mean that the protagonist can confidently defeat the Six Rings Warlock, but how powerful the Six Rings are. They can predict that, But the power of the devil is unpredictable.
