Chapter 67 Lawrence & La Soja

Shade also said a few words on immigration, But in fact, he was rubbing the small box containing the relic [Twenty-sided Dice of Destiny] in his pocket with his hand. The ears listened to the talk about the feasibility of immigration, but the eyes looked around unconsciously, and then saw Mr. Lawrence. The report left by Detective Sparrow included his picture, and Shade had seen him at the door of the club not long ago.

“en? Why is he here? Are all my acquaintances here? Lawrence is a big factory owner, so of course it’s okay to be invited to this kind of banquet.”

Shade thought to himself Dao, looked away, wanted to see if there was still that delicious goat milk pudding on the table, and wanted to bring some back to the orange cat that was fostered at home.

But suddenly, the young detective thought of another question:
"Since Mr. Lawrence is wearing such a formal dress to attend the banquet at Lake View Manor, there is no reason to have no female companion. Mrs. Lawrence is also here. ?"

Taking a careful glance out of the corner of his eye, he saw that standing beside Mr. Lawrence was Mrs. Lasoa in a red floor-length dress with a lotus leaf at the neckline. On the side, let the "woman" who still wears the pebble ring look unusually gorgeous on this night.

"Oh, sure enough, a major event is about to happen. The helper Mrs. Lawrence found won't want to get along with La Soya here, right?"

He looked back, thinking to himself. whether to leave here. But he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder from behind, which shocked Shade, thinking that Mrs. La Soya had come over.

But when he turned around, he saw that it was Lavender Baron, his employer tonight, and he was followed by several gentlemen of his age.

"Oh, my Mr. Dawn! It's really Hamilton, we have long time no see!"

The middle age person of hobby Rhodes said in a very exaggerated tone , while winking at Shade, reached out and took his hand.

"Yes, long time no see, Mr. Lavender."

Shade immediately understood what he meant:
"Last time saw you playing with you The Rhodes card, it was already three years ago, right?"

In order to show his importance to the commission, Shade also said in a very exaggerated and enthusiastic tone:
"What a coincidence, didn't t expect to be able to meet you here."

"Yes, it's a coincidence, this must be the arrangement of the gods. Speaking of which, these are my friends, I want to go with them. Do you want to go with Rhodes over there? If there is anything else."

As he spoke, Mr. Lavender shook the hand Shade held together. Shade believes that if he doesn't agree to the other person, he will never be let go easily.

"Of course we can go together, oh gentlemen, let's use the Rhodes card to kill off this boring night. Of course the banquet is fun, and the Lakeview Manor is also very good, but it's still Rhodes. The cards are the best. Here's my card."

While handing out cards to Mr. Lavender's high class friends, Shade saw Baron surreptitiously gesturing "you did good" at him.

While greeting Lavender Baron's friends warmly, out of the corner of his eyes he saw Mr. Lawrence and Mrs. La Soya walking towards the mansion of Lake View Manor, so he felt at ease with Lavender. Wende Baron the entire group went to the back of the manor together, and the exciting Rhodes card game was about to start.

On the road, the entire group also exchanged their anecdotes about Rhodes cards, discussed the news of special cards on the market, and speculated on the number of special Rhodes cards that the Prophet Association will launch this summer. and theme.

Shade also participated in order to better complete the commission.

"I even heard rumors that there is a Rhodes card of the founding series that appeared in Tobesque City."

He said to everyone in an exaggerated tone, although there were Several people believed that it was difficult to say, but people still showed expressions of surprise. The entire group is Lord hobbyist, impossible doesn't know the "Founding Series" cards.

"Not long ago I was working at the Society of Prophets, and I heard Sindia Mark Vice-President talking about it with someone on the third floor. But it's hard to tell the truth, after all, it was hundreds of years The old cards. However, if there is a founding set card, I'd love to see it."

Shade shared his anecdote, as he showed an interest in Rhodes. Hobby and extensive personal connections quickly turned from strangers to accepted friends.

When the entire group came to the stone table under the grape trellis, no one thought about why Shade wanted to join in the fun.

Lavender Baron is very pleased with the young detective he hired.

Lavender Baron's Rhodes opponent, Rwanda Baron, is a very short middle-aged gentleman of his age. Shade is reluctant to use words like "dwarf" to describe others, but it's actually quite the right word.

Although there are some problems with his height, Baron of Rwanda, who seems to be rubbing his facial features on his face, looks unusually shrewd. Like Lavender Baron, he came to the game with a group of hobby Rhodes friends.

When the entire group met under the grape trellis, nothing unpleasant happened. The two Barons greeted each other a few times, introduced their friends to each other, and talked about the dinner at Lake View Manor and today's weather, and then sat on both sides of the stone table.

The men they brought with them immediately surrounded the stone table instead of just standing behind them. Everyone's faces were filled with excitement and excitement, as if the atmosphere had changed in this brief moment.

It's not like the gamblers are simply pursuing excitement, but more like they are looking forward to a wonderful story serialization, or an interesting opera.

Shade was standing closest to the stone table because of Lavender Baron's special arrangement.

He saw that the two Barons took out their own bets respectively. Lavender Baron's is the only Rhodes card with special rules, which belongs to the [flower 13] of the "Northern City" series of cards. , which is the card that rolls 20 and can be redrawn. The card face is a silhouette of the city of Artek, the capital of art.

The bet that Rwanda Baron took out was of course the Rhodes card with special rules. He very deliberately put his two special rules cards on the table, and waited until the gentlemen onlookers saw it. Just picked one of them and put it aside as a bet.

That's the card [Star 6] from the "Ancient Fairy Tale" series, and the card face is exactly the "Match Girl" that Lavender Baron mentioned last time.

It's just the conditions for using the special rules of [Ancient Fairy Tale Match Girl], which is even harsher than Lavender Baron's [Northern City Artek City]. A 10 or 20 is rolled before the card number can be adjusted within 6 or 7.

Although there are special rules cards in Rhodes, most of them have strict usage conditions. Only in this way can we ensure that Rhodes Athletics can be full of fun under the condition that it is relatively fair.

Like Shade's [Founding·Silver Moon], it is very rare to draw cards that can directly use special rules.

PS: Regarding this chapter, Shade took the initiative to say that the founding series of cards appeared. First, it was convenient to get acquainted with Lavender Baron's friends, and second, the news would come out sooner or later, so even if he mentioned it A word doesn't matter.

In the first few chapters recently, there have been many readers who like to pick up details, so here's an explanation. It's not that he is hot-headed, but there is a reason.
