MTL - Whispering Verse-Chapter 66 Lawrence and La Soya

Xia De also said a few words on the immigration issue, but in fact he was rubbing his hands on the small box containing the relic [Twenty-sided Dice of Destiny] in his pocket. Hearing the conversation about the feasibility of immigration, his eyes looked around unconsciously, and then he saw Mr. Lawrence. There was a photo of him in the report left by Detective Sparrow, and Shad had seen him in front of the club not long ago.

"Huh? Why is he here? Are all my acquaintances here...Lawrence is a big factory owner, so it's no problem to be invited to this kind of banquet."

Xia De thought to himself, looking away, wanting to see if there is still that delicious goat milk pudding on the table, thinking of bringing some back to the orange cat that is 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 Lakeview Manor, it doesn't make sense that he doesn't have a female companion. Mrs. Lawrence is also here?"

She glanced carefully out of the corner of her eye again, and saw that standing next to Mr. Lawrence was Mrs. La Soya, who was wearing a red floor-length gown. The "woman" of the ring was exceptionally gorgeous on this night.

"Oh, sure enough, something big is going to happen. The helper Mrs. Lawrence found won't be fighting with La Soya here, is it?"

Withdrawing his gaze, he wondered whether he should leave here. But suddenly he was patted on the shoulder from behind, which startled Xia De, thinking that Mrs. La Soya came over.

But when he turned around, he realized that it was Baron Lavender, the employer tonight, and behind him were several gentlemen of his age.

"Oh, my Mr. Dawn! It's really Hamilton, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"

The middle-aged man who loves Rhodes said in a very exaggerated tone, while winking at Xia De, he reached out and held his hand.

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

Xia De immediately understood what he meant:

"The last time I saw you playing Rhodes with you, it was three years ago, right?"

In order to show that he attaches great importance to the entrustment, Xia De also said in a very exaggerated and enthusiastic tone:

"What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Yes, what a coincidence, this must be the arrangement of the gods. Speaking of which, these are my friends. I want to go with them to play Rhodes cards over there? Do you want to go together? If there are other things ..."

While speaking, Mr. Lavender shook the hand he held with Shad. Xia De believes that if he does not agree to the other party, he will never be let go easily.

"Of course we can go together, oh, gentlemen, let's use Rhodes to kill this boring night. The banquet is certainly interesting, and the Lake View Manor is also very good, but Rhodes is the best. This is my business card..."

While handing out business cards to Mr. Lavender's high-class friends, Shad saw the Baron secretly making a "well done" gesture to him.

While greeting Baron Lavender's friends warmly, he saw Mr. Lawrence and Mrs. La Soya walking towards the mansion of the Lake View Manor from the corner of his eyes, so he walked with Baron Lavender and his party at ease. Behind the manor, the exciting Rhodes competition is about to begin.

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

In order to better complete the commission, Xia De also participated in it.

"I even heard rumors that a Rhodes card from the founding series appeared in Tobesk City."

He said to everyone in an exaggerated tone. Although several people believed that such a thing was difficult to say, people still showed surprised expressions. The group are all Rhodes card lovers, so it is impossible not to know the "Founding Series" cards.

"Not long ago, I went to the Prophet Association to do business, and I heard Vice President Cyndia Mark talking about it with others on the third floor. But the authenticity is hard to say, after all, it was a card hundreds of years ago. But , if there are founding series cards, I would really like to take a look."

Xia De shared his own anecdote, because of his love for Rhodes and his extensive network of contacts, he quickly changed from a stranger to an accepted friend.

When the group came to the stone table under the grape arbor, no one thought about why Xia De came to join in the fun.

Lord Lavender is very pleased with the young detective he has hired.

Baron Lavender's Rhodes opponent, Baron Rwanda, is a middle-aged gentleman who is about his age but very short. Shad is reluctant to use words like "dwarf" to describe others, but in fact this word is quite suitable.

Although there are some problems with his height, the Rwandan Baron, who seems to have all his facial features rubbed on his face, looks like an unusually shrewd man. Like Baron Lavender, he also brought a group of Rhodes-loving friends to participate in the poker game.

When the group met under the grape arbor, nothing unpleasant happened. The two barons exchanged a few words of courtesy, introduced their friends to each other, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com 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 immediately surrounded the stone table instead of just standing behind them. Everyone's face is full of excitement and excitement, as if the atmosphere has changed at this moment.

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

Due to Baron Lavender's special arrangement, Shad stood closest to the stone table.

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

The bet that the Baron of Rwanda put out was of course a Rhodes card with special rules. He deliberately placed both of his special rules cards on the table, and only picked out one of them and placed it on the table when all the gentlemen onlookers saw it. Set aside as a bet.

It was a card from the "Ancient Fairy Tales" series [Stars 6], and the face of the card was exactly the "Match Girl" that Baron Lavender mentioned last time.

It’s just that the conditions for using the special rules of [Ancient Fairy Tales Match Girl] are more stringent than Baron Lavender’s [Northern City Artek City]. You must roll 10 or 20 on the 20-sided dice twice in a row. Card numbers can be adjusted within 6 and 7.

Although Rhodes cards have special rules, most of them have strict usage conditions. Only in this way can we ensure that the Rhodes card competition can be full of fun while ensuring relative fairness.

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