Whispering Verse

Chapter 130: Everything is impermanent

Currently, the world's common currency is not only the gold pound in the north of De La Rion, but also the kroner in the United Kingdom of Carson Rico in the south. However, the United Kingdom used to be made up of several kingdoms. Although a unified kingdom had been formed in 1853, there were still several different currencies called "krona".

Kasen Rik is a large currency used in official transactions. According to the current exchange rate, it is about 11 to 12 gold pounds, which is equivalent to 1 Kasen Rik.

"If it's gold pounds, then it's about that number."

As a local, Vice President Mark wrote another note with the number "33" on it. Although this amount of money is not as good as Miss Galina's entrustment fee yesterday, but Xia De only needs to participate in the competition to get the money, it seems like he picked it up.

Franklin, the accountant who once entrusted Shade, earns only about 70 pounds a year, and his income is barely enough to be on the edge of the middle class.

Now Xia De only needs to nod, and he can get half a year's income of the middle-class family's mainstay. He has no reason to refuse:

"I think I need a charter for the game."

Mr. Limo nodded:

"If you need it, we can get the rules of the competition in a while. But don't worry, you only need to participate, there is no requirement to win or not. Here is an agreement."

Mr. Limo stretched his hand behind his back, and the private secretary standing by the wall came over immediately and handed him a dark brown kraft paper bag. As for the reward, Xia De can only get it when he sits at the poker table after the tournament starts.

Nothing unexpected happened during the trip to the Prophet Association. Xia De signed the "Great City Player" competition contract for September this year, and at the same time, his founding Silver Moon card was also certified as genuine.

Vice President Cyndia Mark was even more excited than Mr. Limo who came from the general meeting. He warmly invited Xia De to have a drink to celebrate today's events. But Xia De refused on the grounds that he was busy with his personal affairs and the office still had things to deal with.

But they still saw each other at Lord's on Sunday night, so Mr Mark didn't mind.

After leaving the Prophet Association, I went home immediately, and after waiting at home for less than half an hour, Miss Anat arrived as expected.

After the detective opened the door of No. 6 Place Saint Teresa, the prophet with purple eyes walked in without saying a word. He was taken aback when he saw that the first floor was sealed off, but he still didn't say anything, so he followed the detective to Room 1 on the second floor.

"There's something wrong with you here."

When she was seated, Miss Anat said that she saw the first, second and third floors:

"It's like a haunted house in rumors. Even if I don't do divination, I can still know that something is wrong here."

"It's a haunted house. I told the doctors about it. You happened to be not in Tobesk at the time. I will probably talk to Priest Augustus tomorrow and let the Church of Dawn send someone to do a final inspection. I want to make full use of the house .”

Xia De said, and brought a teacup for Miss Anat, while he sat opposite the fortune teller.

He asked very seriously:

"Before our conversation officially begins, I want to ask a question. Miss Anat, will you go to watch the Rhodes game on the weekend night?"

This question is very important to him.

"Why should I go? I made an appointment with Louisa to go to the opera that day, and my work in the association has nothing to do with Rhodes."

Miss Anat said in surprise.

Only then did Xia De nodded in satisfaction, and cut into the formal topic:

"I was so surprised to see you at the Prophet Association just now. Aren't you a fortune teller from the Prophet Association? Why did you become the secretary this time?"

"Today is a special occasion, and I happened to be curious about [Founding Silver Moon], so I specially applied for help. Detective, I am really surprised, how come Founding Silver Moon is in your hands, this... ..shouldn't be."

Miss Anat frowned, but soon raised her eyebrows because of the black tea. This was the second private meeting between the two after the carriage chat on Monday night.

"I haven't heard you talk about [Founding Silver Moon] before."

She whispered while sipping her black tea.

"Isn't this an ordinary item? That's why I didn't say it."

Xia De asked in surprise, took out the card and put it on the table. Seeing that Xia De neither wore gloves nor showed any respect for [Founding Silver Moon], this gave Miss Anat, who was born in the Prophet Association, a headache.

"Yes, the Rhodes card is indeed an ordinary item, but... how should I put it, I only heard some news from the top management of the association by accident.

The first thirteen Rhodes cards were not actually made by the Prophet Association. On the contrary, it should be said that the Rhodes cards were made according to these thirteen cards. Card information, that is, card face and gameplay. Although they didn't find any power in them, the Rhodes cards made according to their appearance were surprisingly successful. This has brought staggering wealth to the association. "

"The Rhodes card of the founding series is a [relic]?"

[Of course not, I didn't feel any whispering elements. 】

"Of course not, the Rhodes cards are just ordinary items...but the founding series of cards is very special. These cards may come from the fifth era, or even the more distant fourth era, or even the third era."

Miss Anat said.

"You said that this is an antique that is thousands of years old. Although it is a paper product, it can still be preserved well?"

Xia De shook [Founding·Silver Moon], and Miss Anat shrugged:

"At least that's what I know. According to the Association's understanding, the thirteen cards of the founding series do not have any power, but they cannot be destroyed. Anyone who tries to destroy them will suffer from the curse of bad luck. There is a saying It is believed that the holder of the original thirteen cards will be very lucky in the activities related to the activities of playing cards, dice, etc."

"A card that can bring luck to the user?"

Xia De looked at the [Founding·Silver Moon] on the table. If this is true, then Miss Galina's weekend poker game seems to be more likely to win.

Miss Anat nodded:

"The thirteen cards of Rhodes are created, and they will choose their own owners. No one can force them to have them, and those who should have them can have them... I hope you can understand what I mean. Because of this, very few Some people can find them in the long river of history ~lightnovelpub.net~ Even the Orthodox Church and Academy may not be able to know that these cards are special.

The Guild is also studying what exactly these cards do, and believes it has something to do with the mystery of the original Old Gods' fall. "

"Choose the holder yourself? What the **** is this?"

Xia De felt more and more strange the more he heard it, and Miss Anat shook her head:

"This is not an ordinary alchemy item, and it is not even a [relic]. Judging from the information left by the ancient prophets found by the Association, these cards must be related to the thirteen ancient gods. Do you know the ancient gods? Oh, just know Good. In the past, some people did discover their strangeness, and thought that these cards were keys and weapons. From older documents, the association discovered their names."

"A special card with no power related to the ancient gods...what's the name?"

Shad was quite curious.

Miss Anat hesitated for a moment:

"The thirteen cards represent the original gods who were born together with the world, and represent the world of impermanence, so they are called—everything is impermanent."
