"Shad has many, many stories, but I'm not ready to tell you right now."

The memories were temporarily over, and Miss Galina said softly to her "colleague". Miss Sylvia understood what she meant and didn't ask any further.

The two witches talked about what to do next, and just as they were about to get up and set off for Schluchsee, there was a knock on the door.

After the maid opened the door, it was Princess Margaret who entered. During the more than an hour when Shade was reading, she had already met with Mr. Alan Madison from the local Higher Medical College of Sussex. After entering the door, first greet Miss Galina respectfully, and then ask Miss Sylvia:

"Teacher, I'm sorry to bother you. I have a math question I want to ask you."

"Ask a math question at a party?"

Miss Silvia smiled and said:

"Duke, you see, Her Royal Highness Margaret is so studious."

Princess Margaret was then asked to speak the question, and the princess repeated Shard's "missing penny" problem. Miss Galina just chuckled from the sidelines without interjecting, and after hearing this, Miss Sylvia just frowned and figured it out:

"Your Highness, do you really not understand this question?"

When I said this, I really showed the majesty of a "mathematics teacher".

Princess Margaret subconsciously bit her lower lip:

"Teacher, there are only three numbers 27, 2, and 30 in this question. You said that numbers can't deceive people. I don't understand why there is a missing 1 penny."

"Your Highness, this question of yours is really disappointing."

Miss Sylvia has sharp eyes:

"I have told you countless times that although numbers can't deceive people, you can't really understand numbers. Although this question is ingenious, it is nothing more than a magic trick. Yes, it's just a trick .”

The witch's fair and beautiful face was full of dissatisfaction:

"Let me tell you where the missing penny went.

Two of the three gentlemen staying at the inn went to the Three Cats Hotel again three days later and paid 10p each for a total of 20p. This time, Mrs. Sangmei, the innkeeper, lowered the price again, leaving 15 pence and returning 5 pence, and the boy hid 3 pence again, and returned the remaining 2 pence to the two gentlemen. So, the two gentlemen spent 18p, and the boy kept 3p, a total of 21p. The missing 1 penny is here. "

Although Princess Margaret couldn't think of an answer, she also knew that Miss Sylvia was mocking her.

Miss Galina smoothed things over from the side:

"Miss Sylvia, Her Majesty Margaret is only troubled by a simple little problem, and all of us will encounter problems that cannot be solved."

"But this question is really too simple, she shouldn't be unable to solve it."

Miss Sylvia fully demonstrated the "paranoia" of mathematicians:

"Duke, I am Your Highness's math teacher, and I must be responsible to her."

After finishing speaking, she tried to encourage again:

"Your Highness, this question is completely within the scope of your knowledge. Remember, this is a clever magic trick, and you will realize how ridiculous it is when you understand it. I believe in my students, so when you figure it out Remember to tell me the answer."

The princess with pale golden hair nodded pitifully:

"Yes, sir, I will solve this problem."

"Who gave this question? Although the question itself is simple, the way of playing with numbers is really clever. If it is a lady, I would be very interested in meeting her."

Miss Sylvia asked again.

"It's not Ma'am, it's Mr. Shade Hamilton. People at the banquet are discussing this question, but no one has given an answer for the time being."

After finishing speaking, Princess Margaret secretly glanced at Miss Galina again. The conversation between Miss Sylvia and Miss Galina here did not make Her Royal Highness doubt Miss Galina's identity. After all, almost everyone in Tobesk knows the relationship between Miss Galina and Shade, and the witch It is impossible for them to touch men.

Her Royal Highness only thought that her teacher intended to rely on the Duchess to do something.

"It's Hamilton. Oh, I mean, it's amazing."

Miss Sylvia said, pretending to be surprised in Miss Galina's smile:

"It turned out to be that gentleman. I originally thought that knights only had some courage and strength, but I didn't expect to have wisdom."

(Mia is running...)

The Rhodes Card Competition at Lake View Manor was not held indoors, but held under the grape trellis in the garden behind the manor. Although this season, the grape trellises in the garden do not look like they did in midsummer, but the round stone tables under the grape trellises with kerosene lamps hanging beside them and sitting gas lamps are indeed good places for playing cards.

In order to make his wedding banquet look very formal, Mr. Eisberg even specially invited the staff of the Prophet Association to act as referees before the banquet, and bought a Rhodes card with special rules from the auction house as a Luo Jackpot for the poker game.

It is said that the auction price of the Rhodes card was 87 pounds.

In short, although Xia De did not admit that he was attracted by the special rule card, he still happily brought Tifa and Mia and appeared in the back garden on time.

His friends, Baron Lavender, the former owner of [Ancient Fairy Tales: Match Girl] and Baron Rwanda, the former owner, are already waiting for Shad in the garden.

In addition to them, Rhodes players among the local nobles are also eagerly waiting for the champion of the big city player 1853 to come. Although no one is confident that they will be able to defeat Xia De, even if they only beat him in a small round, it is enough to brag in the ears of friends for a long time.

"Mr. Hamilton, this is the first time you have participated in an open Rhodes game since the Big City Players."

At this time, the dance party in the manor house has already started, but there are still many guests gathered in the garden~lightnovelpub.net~waiting to watch the exciting Rhodes card. Not only the poker-loving gents, but even the ladies were joking and laughing, waiting to see if something interesting would happen tonight.

Because of the large number of people who signed up to participate in the game, I don't know what price Mr. Eisberg spent to get the Prophet Association to agree to name tonight's game "Lakeview Manor Early Winter Rhodes Card Competition". This also means that the process of this game will be included in the annual report of the Prophet Association in the Tobesk region and become an officially recognized regional game.

The competition is held according to the promotion process, that is, single-player games are played in groups, and two out of three games win, and the winner advances. A total of 32 registered players, after three rounds of competition, a total of four players will compete in the finals to participate in the final multiplayer game.

The winner will not only get the honor, but also get the [Life Ritual·Wedding].

This special card is now placed in a glass photo frame and stands on the round table in the center under the grape arbor, under the care of two servants with oil lamps. Although Xia De arrived late, he also got the opportunity to check the card:

"[Life Ritual·Wedding], suit: flower 5. Throw two 20-sided dice, if the number difference is less than or equal to 2, you can adjust the card points between 4 and 5."

He read out the rules of the card, with a smile on his face unconsciously:

"This card is really beautiful."
