Whispering Verse

Currently, the world's common currencies include the gold pound of Delrayon in the north and the krona of the United Kingdom of Carsonlik in the south. However, the United Kingdom was a patchwork of several kingdoms in the past. Although the United Kingdom had been formed in 1853, there were still several different currencies called "crowns" within it.

The Kasenrik krona is a large-denomination currency used in official transactions. According to the current exchange rate, about 11 to 12 gold pounds is equivalent to 1 Kasenrik krona.

"If it were gold pounds, it would be about this amount."

Vice President Mark, a local, wrote another note with the number "33" on it. Although the money is not as good as Miss Carina's commission fee yesterday, Shade can get the money just by participating in the competition, it is like picking it up.

Franklin, the accountant who once entrusted Shade, only earns 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 breadwinner of a middle-class family. He has no reason to refuse:

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

Mr. Rimmer nodded:

"If you need it, we can get the rules for the competition later. But don't worry, you just need to participate, there are no requirements for winning. There is an agreement here."

Mr. Rimmer stretched his hand behind his back, and the personal secretary standing by the wall immediately came over and handed him a dark brown brown paper bag. As for the reward, Shade can only get it after the competition starts and he sits at the card table.

Nothing unexpected happened during the trip to the Prophet Association. Shade signed a contract to participate in the "Big City Players" competition in September this year. At the same time, his founding Silver Moon card was naturally identified as authentic.

Vice President Cyndia Mark was even more excited than Mr. Rimo who came from the General Meeting. He enthusiastically invited Shade to have a drink to celebrate today's events. But Shade refused on the grounds that he was busy with personal affairs and had things to deal with in his office.

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

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

After the detective opened the door of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square, the purple-eyed prophet walked in without saying a word. He was stunned when he saw that the first floor was sealed, but still said nothing and followed the detective to Room 1 on the second floor.

"There's something wrong with you here."

As she sat down, Miss Anat said, she saw the first, second and third floors:

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

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

Shade said, bringing a teacup for Miss Anat, and sitting opposite the fortune teller.

He asked very seriously:

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

This issue 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.

Shade nodded with satisfaction and turned to the formal topic:

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

"Today's occasion is special. I happen to be curious about [Founder Silver Moon], so I specially applied for help. Detective, I'm really surprised, how come Founder Silver Moon is in your hands? This... ..shouldn’t be.”

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

"I've never heard you talk about [Original Silver Moon] before."

She whispered while sipping the black tea.

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

Shade asked in surprise, taking out the card and placing it on the table. Seeing that Shade neither wore gloves nor showed any cherishment for [Original Silver Moon], this gave Miss Anat, who was born in the Prophet Association, a headache.

"Yes, Rhodes cards are indeed common items, but...how should I put it, I only heard some news from the association's senior officials by chance.

The original thirteen Rhodes cards were not actually made by the Prophet Association. On the contrary, it should be said that the Rhodes cards were made based on these thirteen cards. The association accidentally came across two of them hundreds of years ago and discovered the information about the thirteen cards left by the ancient prophets in the early fifth era. Card information, that is, card face and gameplay. Although they were not found to have any power, the Rhodes cards made based on their appearance were unexpectedly successful. This brought incredible wealth to the association. "

"The Rhodes cards in the founding series are [relics]?"

[Of course not, I didn’t sense any whispering elements. 】

"Of course not, the Rhodes cards are just ordinary items...but the Founding Series cards are 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 this is an antique that is thousands of years old. Although it is a paper product, it can still be well preserved?"

Shade shook [Original Silver Moon], and Miss Anat shrugged:

"At least that's the news I know. According to the association's knowledge, the thirteen cards in the founding series do not have any power, but they cannot be damaged. Any attempt to damage them will be cursed with bad luck. There is a saying It is believed that the holders of the original thirteen cards will be very lucky when engaging in activities related to playing cards, dice and other activities.”

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

Shade looked at the [Founder·Silver Moon] on the table. If this is true, then Miss Carina seems to have a greater chance of winning in the weekend card game.

Miss Anat nodded:

"The original thirteen Rhodes cards will choose their own owners. No one can force them to own them. Only those who deserve to own them can own them... I hope you can understand what I mean. Because of this, very few Some people can find their presence in the long river of history. Even the Zhengshen Church and the academy may not be able to know that these cards have special characteristics.

The Guild is also studying what exactly these cards can do, and believes it is related to the secret of the fall of the original Old Gods. "

"Choose your own holder? What on earth is this?"

The more Shade listened, the more strange he felt. Miss Anat shook her head:

"This is not an ordinary alchemy item, nor is it even a [relic]. Judging from the information left by the ancient prophet discovered by the association, these cards must be related to the thirteen ancient gods. Do you know the ancient gods? Oh, just know it. Okay. In the past, some people did discover their strangeness and believed 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 its name?"

Shade was quite curious.

Miss Anat hesitated:

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