After the first greeting, he looked at Louis. "Mr. Envoy, co in, please. We have several things to brief you on."
"Good."
Louis followed closely behind the Butler as he was shown around the mansion.
This was quite large and belonged to a wealthy city man who worked for the House of Shadows as a vendor of information about many city movents.
Louis was directed to the Main Hall, next to the Awakened Ones. Inside, an older man with a slightly soft look wearing so scarves to protect his nose greeted them.
"Cough..." He coughed a little before speaking. "Gentlen, welco to my ho." He smiled. He looked very sick since he coughed again before continuing.
"We were inford of your mission, so we looked up all the information you need beforehand. The mission’s location and information about the people who were awakened there. Feel free to read it."
Several scrolls were placed on the table between them.
"Also." He continued. "The House of the Ancient Moon requests a eting with the Envoy of the House of Shadows. I wonder if you is willing to et with them." He looked at Louis as he spoke.
He first took the liberty of reading all the information gathered, then put the parchnt away, and then looked up to see the sick man.
"What would your na be?" He asked.
"Christian Philips, Mr. Envoy."
"I see." Louis nodded. "Mr. Christian, feel free to inform the House of the Ancient Moon that I am willing to et with them."
Christian smiled. "Good." Satisfied with his answer, he handed him one more scroll. "At the Farent-Hill’s Night Fun Casino."
Louis nodded after looking at the information.
’A neutral casino, owned by two powerful families in the area. That ans they want a eting of authorized personnel only.’ He smiled.
"You don’t need to follow ." He told the Awakened. "I’ll be back at midnight." He walked out of the mansion on his own.

It was a colorful city, with a completely different energy than Velharthe conveyed.
Whereas Velharthe in the High District conveyed a powerful, ancient, wealth-filled energy, this entire city conveyed an energy of profligacy and drinking.
It was the perfect city to spend money, a city full of peculiarities. The dress was also a bit different from Velharthe, for here, people dressed more casually and less formally.
In fact... to call it casual was also wrong.
Everyone seed to be wearing the first clothes they had grabbed from the closet.
Despite the cold weather, the won wore short pants that didn’t even reach the knee, with blouses down to their navels and no long sleeves.
The n were not much different. They were maybe a little more covered up, but they were only wearing fast-moving clothes.
Perhaps because of the speed with which this city moved, the inhabitants had opted for a simpler, more straightforward way of life.
That is why people like Louis were rarely seen on the city streets. He easily attracted the attention of won who approached to offer them different kinds of services, noticing not only the wealth, but also the young face, which seed easy to deceive.
In his 15-minute walk, he easily encountered about 45 won who tried to strike up conversations with him.
’Good grief. This city is not only about extre fun, it’s also very rampant, and no one here knows sha.’ He sighed.
Arriving at the Night Fun Casino, he noted that it was one of the most glamorous in the city—perhaps one of the highest, too, and with the background behind it, it made sense.
Although it was a bit lonely right now due to the ti, people were gambling and playing different gas inside.
’Well, let’s go in and play a little. According to the system, I’ll also gain stat points for spending system coins, so spending money is a good option.’ He thought.
He shouldn’t be far from earning the first stat point for spending system money if he rembered. He had spent about 85 or 90 points, putting him close.
Now, he didn’t know if he had to "spend the money" and not "gamble" it to earn points like that, but knocking on the door is not entering.
He entered the Casino, and so people quickly approached him at the entrance to stop him.
"VIP invitation or casual?"
He took out the scroll from before and showed it to them. "Invitation, but I want to play casually for a while." He spoke.
The n verified the information before stepping aside.
"Co in, Young Sir. The casino is always open to distinguished custors. Feel free to do as you please. Soone will be along to guide you shortly."
"Thank you." He thanked and then went inside.
The casino inside had many detailed luxuries and a maximalist design, which was surprisingly very modern for this era.
Its signature colors were aquamarine and gold, with designs black and white coloring to give it a final, perfect touch of elegance.
Large golden ornants hung from the ceiling, like chandeliers and magic candelabras that illuminated the entire room.
So large concrete pillars rose to the ceiling, giving a sense of power.
There was a bar at the end of it all, where you could dance and have a drink, but most of it was a lot of gaming and gambling places divided into sections, depending on the type of ga.
They had many types of card gas, and the sa with dice.
Although there weren’t many people, there were still a few in each section playing different gas.
Still, Louis knows little about card gas, and although he is interested in dice gas as well, he doesn’t feel like playing those kinds of gas right now.
He planned to go to the pool tables.
Not for nothing, but his father was a master of the sa and taught him from a very young age. Also, when he graduated from college and went out into the world, he realized that many of the rich people loved to play pool, so to build contacts so he could reach the position of CEO of a major company, he had to play for a long ti with those people.
It was a simple trick, but it worked for him.
So it was in his interest to try playing in a new world.
