Chapter 2581 The Failed Visit and the Cemetery in the Forest
Although it was a card for gambling on luck, since the special rules had been activated, Shade still put down the hidden card that was about to be revealed, and drew the third card together with Miss Bell.
Both of them chose to stop trading, and then showed their respective hands together.
"Star 5, moon 11, moon 4, 20 o'clock."
Miss Bell said, and then saw two special cards among the three cards in Shade's hand:
"Ordinary cards Star 9, Sun 3 [Original・Silver Moon], Flower 8 [Eastern Style of the Old World・Lake Tees]. Because you opened the card first, the special effect of the third card is invalid. The total points are 9+3+8=20 points. Adjust Sun 3 to Sun 4, so the total points are 21 points. ”
He kissed the [Founder Silver Moon] in his hand, and then handed the card to Miss Bell for viewing:
"Game over, I win."
"Yes, it's a pleasure to have this poker game with you."
The young witch apprentice held the cards with both hands and was extremely excited, not feeling like she had lost the game at all. So Shade waved his hand, and the remaining five cards of Balance, Darkness, Death, Earth, and Light in the deck all flew out on their own and floated towards her.
At that moment, Shade felt as if the girl across the table was about to faint.
"How do I feel that with these eight cards, Shade is enough to deceive your apprentice?"
The red-haired girl acting as the referee said softly, and the gray-black-haired witch gave her a blank look:
"Do you know how much wealth those eight cards add up to?"
She understands the mood of her apprentices very well. They all have their own fascinating hobbies.
"No matter how valuable it is, it won't be as valuable as Shade's other properties."
The red-haired sorceress then said while holding the teacup, thinking of Shade's shares in the academy. Seeing her friend on the side looking at her in surprise, she asked with a smile:
"What, do you think that Shade is really taking advantage of Carina Cavendish? He is much richer than the Duchess."
"No, I always thought you were giving pocket money to your students."
"Miss Winslet!"
Shad, who was looking at the [Legendary Race, Elf], said hurriedly. The witch covered her mouth and smiled, feeling that such a life is really interesting:
"Now I owe you six oil paintings. Why don't we wait and see if we can get a set of 12 before the matter in Vista Wood is over. I'm really looking forward to letting you be my model."
Shad had no plan to stay for dinner that night, but now he not only had dinner but even played Rhodes, so by the time he threw away his glass slipper and returned home, it was already 7:30 pm.
Originally, I was worried that the cat that had not eaten at night would be starved, but later I was worried that the smart cat who opened the cat food bag without permission would be starved. Fortunately, when I came down from upstairs, I saw the lights on the second floor, and then I saw Luvia and Dorothy both here.
Hearing the footsteps, the cat jumped up the stairs to greet Shade in advance. The purple-eyed girl and the writer also stood up and gave Shade a hug when he entered:
"Is it so troublesome to come back so late in the Vista Grove? Do you need me or Lesia to help? Call Grace and Helen to open a passage over there, and I'll touch you. The statue in the tree hole can create a passage."
Dorothy asked, Shade shook his head, embarrassed to say that he was playing cards tonight:
"I just discovered some strange things, things related to ethics. Do you want to listen to it? Although I don't understand it either."
"Of course."
Luvia's right index finger crossed Shade's chest, her purple eyes filled with a smile:
"Why else would we be here tonight?"
Because he arrived at the Accordion Hotel very late on Monday morning, Shade made up his mind to get up early on Tuesday to impress Miss Danister, who had praised him for his "diligence in reading" last night.
Therefore, when Shade got up on time at 6:30 in the morning, he also woke up Dorothy and Luvia who were sleeping beside him. Compared with Shade who usually gets up at 6:30, Luvia and "freelance" Dorothy, who go to work at 9 o'clock, don't like to get up so early. In addition, they played very late last night and didn't go to bed until summer. After De had made breakfast, they each went to the bathroom to wash up.
And by the time they had breakfast at eight o'clock in the morning, Shade had even returned from Fort Midhill:
"Sister Devlin is not at the mountaintop altar, but I left her a letter, and she should agree to lend me her eyepatch."
"Shad, Sister Devlin is a very respectable person, don't bully her like this."
Dorothy persuaded, Shade asked doubtfully:
"I'm just borrowing the blindfold, why do you think I'm bullying her and I can't beat Sister Devlin at all."
After saying goodbye to Luvia and Dorothy at home, Shade finally set off for Vista Grove. But he took Mia out with him that day, because Luvia had to attend the study report of the Prophet Association today, and Dorothy had to go home to visit her mother, so she had no time to help take care of the cat.
This was also the first time that Shade took Mia to the Vista Woodland, so after emerging from the tree hole in the dilapidated ruins, he took a long look at the direction of the city, and then planned to take this The cat went to visit the elf lady in the forest.
"But there must be a reason for visiting. Before I found those antique arrows and brought her some snacks, I said it was just to thank her for helping her at the old Bennet house."
Xia De was actually curious about little Mia's attitude towards the elf girl.
But unfortunately, the elf is not in the flower field, nor in her beautiful tree house. Shade put down the snack and decided to wait. Maybe Miss Elf just went to collect dew early in the morning and would be back soon.
But he waited for a full twenty minutes and saw no sign of the elf. When the cat finally couldn't help but taste the purple morning glories hanging on the wooden door, Xia De finally gave up. :
"Help me smell if there is anything familiar here."
But before leaving, Shade put the cat down on the wooden platform in front of the tree house, hoping that the cat could help. The cat, who was reluctant to walk on its own, sniffed around and actually ran towards the door of the tree house.
It took a quick run-up and then jumped up to the chair outside the window, and then jumped onto the table outside the window. Then he stood next to the snacks that Shade had put down, turned around and squatted there and looked at Shade pitifully, so Shade knew that the cat couldn't help.
Five minutes after Shade left with little Mia, Shade, who had manipulated the illusion to leave, walked out from under the tree again, looked up at the tree house, and only really left after making sure that there was no one there. He got up early in the morning, not wanting to arrive at the hotel so late again.
Ten minutes after Shade left, the elf girl carefully held the toothbrush and the toothbrush, and jumped down from the higher crown of the big tree where the tree house was located.
"Xia De is really"
She looked in the direction that Shade left with some dissatisfaction, then smiled and extended her hand to the sweet dessert that Shade had brought.
In short, after all the trouble, when Shade finally arrived at the Accordion Hotel, it was already 9:13 in the morning.
When he knocked on the door and entered Miss Danister's room with little Mia, the red-haired sorceress who had seen the cat many times was not surprised, but she was standing on the back of the sofa explaining things to her apprentice. The round-faced owl was immediately attracted:
"Good morning, oh, what a beautiful cat~"
The chubby round-faced owl flapped its wings and flew towards him as he spoke, and little Mia, who was standing on Shade's shoulder, suddenly had sharp eyes.
Before the cat pounced, the owl transformed into a gray-black-haired witch in the air and sat on the sofa:
"This is your pet cat. I have never seen such a cute cat!"
"Yes, I have always thought that little Mia must be the cutest cat in the world."
Shad is quite confident when it comes to this topic. Of course, he is not here today to talk to Miss Winslet about his experience in raising cats. He then asked Miss Winslet to help take care of little Mia today, and the witch happily accepted:
"Speaking of which, you said that you didn't learn the cat transformation skill on purpose, so you didn't learn it by raising a cat, right?"
She asked jokingly, but Shade refused to answer the question.
Of course little Mia was not very happy to be separated from Shade in a strange place, but in the end she squatted pitifully on the back of the sofa and watched Shade and the red-haired girl leave.
The destination of the two is the cemetery of the Bennet family, and the two ladies have already explored the location of the cemetery. Although Shade once said that every time he visits a city, he will definitely visit the public cemetery there, but at least in the "Music City", he does not plan to go to the public cemetery for the time being.
Thanks to the dense woodland surrounding the city, and the fact that "Bennet" was once a traditional local noble in Ximu Town, Bennet not only has his ancestral home but also a small family cemetery.
But the cemetery is not near Bennet's old house, but deep in the forest. There was land once controlled by the Bennet family. Although the land was now taken away along with the title of nobility, at least the cemetery still belonged to them.
A winding forest path leads from the northern edge of the city to the cemetery. Because only a few people such as lumberjacks and hunters pass by on weekdays, the forest path seems to be in a semi-abandoned state.
Shadow and Miss Danister didn't waste much time, and arrived at the small cemetery surrounded by iron fences at eleven o'clock in the morning. According to their investigation, this cemetery was established three hundred years ago by the first "Baron Bennet".
However, the number of members of the Bennet family has never been large, and according to custom, all family members are buried in the underground cemetery, so the cemetery looks very shabby and small. As time goes by, although the fate of the family has changed, there has been no change here.
