Chapter 122: Invitation of Luo De Pai
Asking about that Luo De Pai card, the woman's voice became serious for the first time.
"Of course, it has already been identified by the local Seer Association. On Friday, which is tomorrow, the people from the headquarters will come to Tobesk by steam locomotive to do the last round of identification."
The woman behind the door didn't speak again, and the black-haired maid appeared again, and then left.
Subsequently, there was a silence that lasted for a whole hour. The fat maid prepared more black tea and snacks for Xia De, making him regret eating too much breakfast.
And only the sound of flipping books came from behind the bookshelf door from time to time, until the black-haired maid hurried back, the conversation could continue:
"Didn't expect that after a hundred years, Founding: Silver Moon would appear here. But this is also good..."
There was a smile in the woman's words. Xia De noticed that the temperature in the study was more pleasant. He guessed that the other party was definitely more than ten rings:
"Do you want to buy it? I can make it cheaper..."
He had already begun to imagine himself taking Xiao Miya, buying the whole St. Deran Square, and then living a wealthy life on rent for the rest of his life. Although, deep in his heart, he still had the intention to hold this card.
"Of course not buy. Detective, although I have money, I wouldn't waste so much to buy a Luo De Pai card. If this card is actually traded, the transaction amount is very large even for me. I just said, I don't like Luo De Pai, just want to win an important game. Then, why don't I hire the owner of the card directly? This is much cheaper than buying this card."
The maid walked out and returned the three cards to Xia De. Xia De quietly asked the woman's voice in his head, trying to know if the cards had been swapped, and successfully got the answer 【Still genuine】.
Although the woman's voice in his head sometimes behaved strangely, it must be admitted that it was indeed very easy to use.
"Since I saw this card today, detective, are you interested in having a Luo De Pai game this weekend? Use this Founding: Silver Moon, but don't worry about trouble, I can claim to the outside world that you are my person. From now on, you can use this card at will without worrying about being coveted by others. And in return, you have to accept my commission and use this card to participate in Luo De Pai games. Of course, there is remuneration."
The other party's identity must be extraordinary. Being able to get the protection of the other party can make life better in the future.
"I actually don't know how to play Luo De Pai very well. Are you sure to let me play for you?"
He pushed back slightly.
"As for the remuneration, the two special cards I collected belong to you. Detective, Luo De Pai is a stepping stone for the upper class. You hold a precious card, why not use it to improve your social level? I hope you can keep holding it. I think there will be many such commissions in the future."
If Xia De were a fanatical enthusiast like Baron Lavender, hearing that he would get two special cards for nothing, he would probably have a cerebral hemorrhage, but he is not.
But the latter half of the other party's sentence really moved Xia De. If he could know more nobles, it would be of great benefit to his detective career and even his Ringed Shushi studies. And plus the card obtained from the professor, even if he really lacked money and sold the three cards, it would be enough for him not to worry about expenses for a long time.
"If you win, you can get a relic from me, with requirements described by you. And, I can introduce you to a job with a fixed weekly salary, but you don't need to do anything, so you don't have to sell the cards. If you lose, you have to participate in three gambling games using this card on a certain day in the future without remuneration."
Xia De had no reason to refuse at all. The relic matter solved the source of the next drop of divinity, and the job matter gave him the lowest living guarantee, and he didn't have to do anything.
When thinking about this matter, the other party thought he was still hesitating, so he continued to increase the code:
"30 Jin Bang, regardless of whether you win or not, this is the remuneration for hiring you to participate in the game on the weekend night. Founding: Silver Moon is worth this price."
"No problem, lady!"
Now there is no need to think at all, and this is not gambling but a commission:
"Lady, may I know your identity, may I know who the other party of the gambling game is."
He asked tentatively again, subsequently, he seemed to hear a light laugh from behind the door:
"Without knowing my identity, you won't be at ease. Well, the other party of the game is Old Duke Lucas. He and I are old friends. We use this game to bet on two places, two places in the Delarion Navy."
This is probably some kind of interest and political event among nobles, but he didn't ask much. Regardless of whether it is for an Outsider or an ordinary detective in this world, this level of noble is a legendary figure.
"As for me, people usually call me, Miss Galina. I think you probably understand that you cannot tell your friends my Ringed Shushi identity at will, otherwise... but you can tell others that we met because of Luo De Pai."
Xia De didn't know who "Miss Galina" was. He probably understood that this was a title that should be respected, representing a very important person. Unfortunately, he didn't have common sense in this regard.
Thinking about asking someone later, he tried his best to show a surprised expression on his face, but he wasn't surprised at all.
"As for what organization I belong to, I can't tell you for the time being. But if you can show your value, that is, win the weekend game, so that our cooperation can continue, you can naturally get the answer from me. Detective, I don't have much power locally. I appreciate you. I think you shouldn't mind cooperating with a friendly High-Ring Shushi."
"Your background is clean enough, and your correspondence Ringed Shushi background is also very good. Moreover, I appreciate you who are capable but still have a kind heart. I am willing to provide you with protection, but just like what I said when we first met, everything has a reward."
"Yes, Miss Galina."
Xia De stood up to say goodbye. He was very satisfied with this meeting with Miss Galina:
"Then, I will go to the game on the weekend, but what is the specific time and place?"
"The gambling game is on Sunday night. During the day on Sunday, I will arrange for someone to find you, prepare suitable clothes for you, and teach you some unimportant etiquette. Those two special cards are not with me, I will hand them to you on Sunday together. As for the remuneration, I didn't prepare it in advance... Tifa, take him to the club to get 30 Jin Bang."
"Okay, lady."
This was the first time Xia De clearly heard the black-haired maid speak.
"Detective, see you on Sunday, good luck."
"Goodbye, Miss Galina." ===== CHAPTER 123 =====
