Chapter 487 Gaming tables and myriad forms are impermanent

See Shade taking out the garter from his pocket, Lazia had no expression, while Ajelena thought for a while, and said to Shade seriously:

"Mr. Knight, this is for you as a thank you for saving me tonight. "

"No, I don't need any thanks."

Of course Shade didn't want to take it, and it was useless for him to hold this thing, but Lecia unexpectedly let Shade Don't be so polite:
"Shade, just accept it. You may not know much. In the past, noble women in the upper class would give garter belts to express the recognition of Knight's bravery; now In this era, noble women would also use the same way to express their admiration and admiration for the bravery of noble men. This is a very romantic and classy move."

This is not a lie, foreigners are When I learned about this world through books, I saw similar records.

Although Shade still didn't want to take it, seeing what she said, she could only put the white garter in her pocket. Ajeelina seemed delighted, and invited Shade again to her next Sand Dragon, saying that he must let him perform another card throw.

Lecia didn't seem to care.

After Mr. Anlos arrived, the MI6 chief pretended not to notice that Shade was in the same carriage with two unmarried Princesses. Let Shade wait outside first. Together with the two maids, he asked the Princesses about the situation in the carriage.

Afterwards, Recia and Agelina didn't even have a chance to say hello to Shade, and returned to Yodel Palace under the protection of a group of bodyguards.

Shade stood with his boss, Commissioner Dak Anlos, and watched the convoy leave.

"Shade, you did a great job this time. Otherwise that gun will get us into trouble. I know there are people selling arms, but didn't expect them to even sell action guns. "

Mr. Anlos praised, Shade wanted to be humble, but the gentleman lowered his voice again, tilted his head and asked in a low voice:
"But how did you get together with the two Princesses?" ?"

"This"

"Don't forget that Miss Carina is also staring at you, I don't know what the relationship between you and the two princesses is, but you must be careful not to Too much politics."

Shade looked towards him in surprise, but Mr. Anlos looked like he didn't say anything.

Mr. Anlos appreciates Shade's character through helping a woman find her lost child last time. The reminder this time is what he, as the director of MI6, should not have said casually.

"But speaking of which, how do you get tossing cards with that kind of force? I only know that some boring old gambler trains this skill."

Mr. Anlos suddenly asked again, probably wanting to change the subject.

"Well, I think. Since my ability as an agent is mainly on the Rhodes card, it will be useful to train some interesting skills in the future. Well, it will be very useful."

"Playing Rhodes, hurting people with poker, and being attractive to girls. You're probably never going to be a qualified agent."

Mr. Anlos sighed, like I regret Shade's future.

After telling Mr. Anlos what he had experienced, Shade returned home in the carriage.

It was already eleven o'clock in the evening when we got home. In the empty house, only the cat ran downstairs to welcome Shade.

Since Laccia didn't come to Saint Derain Square, the four 1-shilling printing masters in the basement could only continue to be hidden there temporarily. As Shade tucked the garter into the desk drawer, he reached for the numbered newspaper in his pocket.

The newspaper was picked up at Silver Cross, and Shade suspected it was some kind of splicing code. But he is only proficient in words, not passwords, so he can't do anything about those numbers.

I simply put it on the shelf, which ended everything tonight.

Shade put his hands behind his head, sat on the chair behind the desk and looked up towards the ceiling:

"Darkness, why haven't you come yet?"

(Mia is running.)

The attack on Agelina Cavendish Princess at the Opera House did not cause much disturbance in Tobesque, Shade Didn't even see news about it in the second day Sunday papers.

In the early morning of Sunday, Dorothy came to visit in a hurry. Goldilocks, who already knew what happened last night from Laccia, complained to Shade that her careful preparation was all in vain. After sending Dorothy away, Shade went to the Society of Prophets to find Luvia.

Tonight will be the third time into the Castle of Dread to complete Mr. Riddle's life gamble, but Shade has no clue about the last four stories.

But unfortunately, Luvia also failed to get more information from the association. It's not that the association doesn't have the information Shade is looking for, but the information about the prophet who lived in the early fifth era is top secret within the association.

Luvia has applied in many ways, but failed to convince the association to let her read the archived documents. But Luvia got Shade all the information about the Secret Keeper-level relic [The Gaming Table of Life]. If you can't win from the game itself, if you can't find a breakthrough point from the old god, you can only try to find a winning chance at that table.

“en?”

Looking at the size information of [Life Gaming Table], Shade raised his eyebrows.

"What did you find?"

The girl with purple eyes curiously asked:
"I have read the information, you can't use these features at all."

"No no, it's not a feature, it's a size. Look at the number."

Shade put the paper in his hand on the table and pointed out the length and width of the twenty grooves:
"3.4681 inches long (about 8.8cm), 2.4841 inches wide (about 6.3cm). Luvia, don't you feel familiar with this number?"

"Familiar?"

Luvia still doesn't understand.

"This is the size of a Lord's card."

Shade said with certainty
"Is it?"

The female fortune-teller slightly frowned:

"You actually measured the size of the Rhodes card? Let's not mention this for the time being. The Rhodes card is a one-to-one imitation based on the [myriad forms impermanence card], and the history of the [myriad forms impermanence card], It should be longer than the Secret Keeper-level (Level 3) relic [The Gaming Table of Life], which is what you call the Unknown Level (Level 0) relic [The Gaming Table of Gamblers]. The appearance of [The Gaming Table of Life], It has something to do with myriad forms impermanence cards? Otherwise it doesn't make sense to have the same size."

"No no, I don't really care about the relationship between myriad forms impermanence cards and the table. I mean, Luvia, although I can't bet on Mr. Riddle's place, but what if I put Genesis Silvermoon and Genesis Balance into the remaining slots? Does that count as two cards?"

Luvia was stunned for a moment, she was really stunned by this idea:
"Yes, the myriad forms impermanence card is the only special item you can bring into the past, but this way. I Don't know what's going to happen. But even if it works and gives you the upper hand in that gamble, you have to find a way to fill the last two grooves or the gamble won't end."

" No, you're wrong again, it's one."

Shade extend the hand pointing to herself, Luvia retracted her surprised expression, and clearly nodded:
"Yes, one. There's only one Shade left, what are you going to do?"

"It's better to be conservative than to take risks. When Darkness shows up in Tobesque next week, we'll use his news to go to the association in exchange for Mr. Riddle information.”

Shade said, and then put away the information of [Life Gaming Table] seriously.

So, this Sunday, Shade did not use the time key of 1784 of the Fifth Age. On the other hand, during the day, he went to Coldwater Harbor again to confirm the progress of helping the doctor to collect materials.

But he did not forget that after the clock struck zero o'clock on Sunday night, he tried to get the gift from the 【God's Gift】. Box] Take out this week's gifts.

This is the fifth time Shade has received a gift from the box, but he still hasn't had the luck to get the [Relic]. In Mia's curious eyes, Shade this time actually took out a pair of red high heels from the box. The color is gorgeous, the style is also very good, and the upper is embellished with some broken diamonds.

It's just that Shade would rather have another screwdriver than a pair of heels.

"Why does this thing appear?"

Shade stared at the shoe in his hand, puzzled. In the end, I thought that this gift box should actually be renamed the "prank box" and it would be more appropriate. That old god [Innocent Creator], maybe it would be better to be called [Mr. Mischief].

This week's tasks are equally easy, and for the next seven days, Shade needs to ensure that three of them will be able to sleep more than eight hours a night. And that's not a problem at all for detectives working from home.

On Monday morning, a new client came to St. Teresa Square after a long absence. But this time it wasn't a big entrustment. The old lady Midra, who saw the detective advertisement in the newspaper, entrusted Shade to find her lost cat.

Old Lady Midra is a wealthy widow who lives alone and has a deep bond with her blue-gray shorthair kitten. Although it was a bit difficult to find a cat in the city, Shade happily accepted the commission for the 10-pound commission.

For the average detective, 10 pounds is enough to live on for a long time. Therefore, a detective is the kind of profession that usually does not have a business, but if there is a business, you can make money immediately. And Shade's advertisements in newspapers failed to attract too many clients, because the frequency of detectives accepting commissions is really not high.

Shade plans to carry out the commission by publishing cat-hunting notices in newspapers and searching the neighborhood where the old lady Midra lives. But before he went out in the morning, he welcomed Miss Galina.

Demoness had nothing to do with Shade, but told him that Darkness showed up again yesterday. This time, it appeared in a rural town only an hour's drive from Tobesque.

This is yesterday's news, which means that Darkness is now very likely to have entered the Tobesque range.

"Shade, this time it wasn't the council that discovered Ivan Darkness, it was the priest of the Church of Peace in the town who discovered the devil's breath. The chosen one. Shade, you can't imagine the current situation."

The red-haired duchess sat on the sofa at Shade's house, holding a teacup in her right hand:

" The Orthodox Church has basically determined that Darkness’s destination is Tobesk. Although the news was deliberately blocked, so that Darkness’s location information was not leaked too much, but in recent days, there will definitely be many unidentified people in Tobesque. The high ring warlock. There is even news that the [Blood Spirit School], who was betrayed, also sent the high ring warlock to the old continent to deal with the traitors."

"So will the council send a new Demoness here? ?"

Shade asked curiously.

"Of course not, first of all, the Orthodox Church is not very friendly to the council; second, am I not here?"

Miss Galina pointed to herself:
"I am responsible for Darkness. After the council assessed the matter, it was decided that after Darkness became the elect, I would kill him myself as much as possible. This is not simple, now Tobesque There are two church warlocks with thirteen rings, but I only have eleven rings."

"The council is going to make the chosen [Darkness] disappear? I can understand that, but why do you want to kill yourself. Die?"

Shade curiously asked.

"I can't tell you that."

The Duchess showed a slightly charming smile, wrapping her right index finger around the red hair hanging around her ear:
"Just It's like, Tifa won't tell me more details about what you guys investigated together last week."

Shade looked up towards the maid standing behind the sofa, who gave Shade a slightly coy smile I mean, it seems that she didn't divulge the two encounters with the secret servant.

PS: To correct a small detail, the Queen's birthday banquet next Wednesday that Shade is invited to attend is the 28th day of the Flowery Moon (August), not the 30th day.
