The Whispering Verses Chapter 577: Win-win

Because of the lowering of his head, Shade's face entered the shadows. The pen in your hand cannot be opened casually. Once opened, it is absolutely impossible to restore it.

He now has two tasks, one is to pass this thing to Carson Rick's Gray Glove intelligence network, and the other is to report this matter to MI6. But before deciding which one to do, or none at all, Shade still wanted to see what information he got.

Gently pull out the pen cap, and the deformed and broken metal wire immediately droops out. Shade carefully took out the slender note inside. This time the content was not numbers, but directly readable Delarian language:

[On the last day of this month, your goods are in the warehouse with a red door plate on Punjab Street in Fort Midhill. 】

Xia De narrowed his eyes:

"There is a problem with the intelligence of MI6. The Principality of Set does not want to surrender to the United Principality of Kalink, but the Principality of Set helped transport a batch of sensitive goods."

No matter how you think about it, you know that the goods in the mission worthy of the high-level spy "Grey Eagle" called by Carson Rick are definitely not ordinary. Although Shade didn't know what it was, it was obvious that the information he had was of great value.

The city of Fort Midhill is close to the Principality of Set. As an important transportation hub city on the eastern border between the two countries, this all makes sense.

[So, which task do you want to do? 】

She asked with a smile in his ear.

Xia De thought for a while, put the note back into the pen cap, and then buckled the pen cap. He took a deep breath, and as he inhaled, some invisible air flow flew out of the pen in his hand.

Time was reversed to twenty seconds ago, and the sealed information in his hand returned to its original state.

"Director Anlos must report it, after all, he is receiving someone else's salary."

He looked at the pen in his hand and put it in his belt:

"But I can't explain the origin of this thing, so this information cannot be given directly to Director Anlos"

He walked towards the auditorium on the third floor:

"As an amateur agent like me, I definitely didn't find out that Virgil Cameron was in contact with anyone. But I was very dedicated, so I asked to trade commemorative coins with him, and I chatted more with him during the transaction. A few words. Because my friend, Priest August, went to Fort Midhill, when I mentioned it occasionally, the other party seemed very wary. That was enough. I would then find a way to pass on more detailed information. To Director Anlos."

Shad nodded.

[So where is the information in your hand? 】

"The mission of MI6 must be completed, and the mission of Gray Gloves must also be completed. Since I was mistaken for the 'Grey Headed Eagle', I naturally have to continue playing the role. Of course, only this time, for the two thousand pounds."

He did not refuse to admit his purpose at all. He originally did not want to get involved in this kind of thing, but for two special bloods, he is really short of money now. And the rewards offered by Kasenrik's spies were too tempting.

"Only this time, after this time, the grey-headed eagle is truly dead."

He said in his heart, when he entered the auditorium again, he was still thinking that he was a little sorry for Detective Sparrow Hamilton who left all his property to him. But then he thought that the information he gave to MI6 was incomplete, and he did perfectly complete the task that Detective Sparrow failed to complete.

"Is this a win-win situation?"

[You mean you won twice? 】

She still likes to laugh so much.

Tifa pulled the chair for Shade. Shade thanked him softly and caught the cat that suddenly jumped up.

After sitting down, he looked at the opposite side. Mr. Cameron, who was relieved because the information was finally delivered, finally began to enjoy the game.

The two looked at each other and smiled:

"Of course not, I mean, the party who should get the information got the information, and the party who should get the information got the information. MI6 and the Gray Gloves both won."

He touched his cat. Under the light of the crystal chandelier above his head, the cat's fur looked golden.

The cat squatted down obediently, tilted its head and looked at Shade with its big amber eyes. Shade reached out and picked up the last card that was not put away on the table just now, held it between his fingertips and flicked it. Gave it to the dealer, he smiled and said:

"Deal the cards."

Although the main purpose of coming to Tobesk this time is to pass on the fatal information in hand. But it is of course impossible to say that Virgil Cameron, a veteran poker player, had no idea about the title of King of Rhodes played by the big city players in 1853.

Therefore, after removing the psychological burden, Shade's opponent finally showed his highest level.

In the first round of the second game, Mr. Cameron decisively chose to give up and continue to ask for cards when he had three cards in his hand with 19 points, forcing Shade, who had three cards in his hand and 18 points, to take it. The fourth card, and then unfortunately busted and lost the first round.

Seeing that Mr. Cameron, who was in a bad state just now, returned to normal, the guests who came to watch the finals also became excited.

Xia De said nonchalantly:

"Luck has favored you again, Mr. Cameron."

"Yes, Mr. Hamilton, I think this matchup is finally getting interesting."

The dialogue between the two was very harmonious, and it didn't look like they were enemies fighting each other for the title.

The scene in the second round was very similar to the first round. Mr. Cameron got 20 points with three cards. He smiled and raised the cards to show to the surrounding guests, and then motioned to Shade to look at the cards.

The three cards in Shade's hand are Sun 11, Moon 1 and Moon 7, with a total of 19 points, still 1 point behind Mr. Cameron.

Among them, Moon 7 is [Northern City, Coldwater Port City], but because less than half of the deck is used, it has no effect.

"Continue dealing."

Xia De said, then the playing card that was placed on the iron ruler engraved with the pattern of ouroboros was sent to Shade's hand with the back facing up.

Xia De put the card under his hand, lifted a corner and took a look before raising his eyebrows.

"How was it?"

Mr. Cameron asked suspiciously.

"3 o'clock."

"Then it's 22 and you bust again."

He smiled.

"No, Sun Three."

Xia De picked up the cards and showed them to the opponent:

"Three of the Sun [Origin and Silver Moon], the number on the card can be adjusted from 1 to 5 o'clock. I adjusted 3 to 2, I am 21 o'clock."

The crowd was talking a lot. Shade paused to let the referee and guests understand what he said, and then threw the cards to the side of the table:

"I win, deal the cards."

In the third round, after both sides got their respective cards, Mr. Cameron took a look at the corner of the card and said to Shade with a smile:

"Look, my luck has come to the king again."

Xia De also took a look at his trump card and also flipped it over:

"Sorry, the first dark card [Origin·Darkness] will win directly regardless of any rules and conditions, and its priority is greater than any other rules."

Mr. Cameron was stunned, squinting his eyes and throwing aside the cards held between his fingers:

"I am one of the few people who can lose to two cards from different founding series in one round. Two to four, I still have a chance, please continue to deal cards."

The fourth round, the first two cards, Mr. Cameron’s first chapter secret card is unknown, and the second one is Moon 5. And Shade got Suns 2 and Suns 13.

Shade naturally continued to ask for cards, but Mr. Cameron hesitated before continuing to ask for the third card, so Shade teased:

"If you hesitate, you will lose."

"No, no, hesitation is just to make myself more cautious."

Mr. Cameron's words were a proverb spread in southern Delrayion. After he read it out with the accent of the Principality of Set, Shade thought for a moment before understanding the meaning of the pronunciation.

"Look, my caution is useful, 20 points."

Mr. Cameron revealed the third card and placed it with the first two, Flower 13, Moon 5 and Moon 2.

"You are so lucky. The four rounds are 19 points, 20 points, king, and 19 points."

Xia De said with a smile, glanced at his cards, and frowned slightly.

"But no matter how lucky I am, you won the first game, but I am still behind in the second game."

Mr. Cameron clasped his hands together and watched Shade draw the cards.

"The card is busted again."

Xia De revealed his trump card, but was not frustrated:

"Sun 2, Sun 13, Flower 7. 22 points. But Flower 7 is [Original Balance]. I busted the card, so I can draw it again."

Xia De threw the three cards aside, signaling to continue dealing.

People were whispering. Although Shade praised Mr. Cameron's luck, he himself actually drew the [Original] series cards in three consecutive rounds.

The first card drawn again, Moon 9 [Demon Soul Stealer Bishop], has no effect because the opponent has suspended the card; the second card, Flower 6, is a common card; the third card is Moon 6.

A total of 21 points.

Shad heard Tifa behind him take a deep breath, obviously also attracted by the tense card game. Other guests also praised Shade's luck. Mr. Cameron frowned, making his delicate and handsome middle-aged face look depressed:

"Is there such a thing?"

He couldn't understand.

Xia De temporarily led six to two, winning with three consecutive [Original] series Rhodes cards.

In the fifth round of the second game, Mr. Cameron laughed again after uncovering the first card:

"Today's luck is really strange. Look, the special card - Moon 1 [Steam Age, Female Textile Worker After Work]."

The pattern on the card shows the crowds of people at the entrance of the textile factory when work is over in the evening

"If this card is drawn on the first or third card, you can throw a dice. If the number of the dice is 5 or 10, then I can choose whether to use it when settling the points of this round. Points are adjusted downward by 1 number. ”

"What an interesting rule."

Shad nodded, and then saw Mr. Cameron throw out a die prepared by the Prophet Association, but unfortunately it was 6, and the rules were invalid.
