"Susurman, do you think I'm wearing this outfit, does it really fit me?"
On the opposite side of the luxurious carriage, Ibis sat on the seat wearing a black gauze dress.
Her legs were close together, and her white and clean legs were looming under the black gauze. Her body was covered in black gauze, wrapped in a mountain peak. It was not particularly turbulent, but it had a girlish beauty.
In terms of figure alone, Ibis can be called just right, obviously not the kind with rich capital, but giving others the experience of being a bit fatter and less skinny, which perfectly embodies the charm of an innocent girl.
It's just that the tension on her face ruined the beauty.
Didn't you wear this kind of clothing in the past? That's right, as descendants of the church's wealthy family, you all determine your clothing according to the category of the Orthodox Church. Suleman understands the reason for the other party's nervousness.
He did remember that [Hand of Glory], as an orthodox church that believes in the 'Lord of War', their sacrificial attire is unified with simplified war helmets, regardless of gender. So Ibis is used to that kind of dress, but feels strange and nervous about the social evening dress.
"Don't worry, you're fine."
Suleman chuckled lightly, but unfortunately, Ibis didn't understand at all, and still looked at herself nervously.
So he leaned his back back, gently pressed against the wall of the car, and closed his eyes to rest his mind. This attitude infected Ibis, and the girl gradually calmed down. She breathed a sigh of relief and looked at him gratefully.
In the silence full of tranquility, the two sat opposite each other, outside the window was the patter of rain, from time to time, the eyes of the girl in the black dress would touch each other, and then hastily moved away, occasionally staring out the window in a daze.
I don't know how long it took, the carriage stopped slowly, and the driver's respectful voice came from outside—
"Mr. Arthur Doyle came to the party with his sister."
The door of the carriage was gently opened, and a waiter holding a black walnut umbrella stepped forward to protect the two from the rain. However, Suleman declined the other party's kindness, took the black umbrella by himself, and held it with the other hand. his 'sister'. The two of them were like normal brothers and sisters, stepping on the white jade floor, walking towards the front side by side, the luxurious hall standing in the night.
This is the imperial district, and in front of it is the jurisdiction of the Mosleyan family, the most iconic building, and the place they use to entertain guests.
There were similar carriages parked nearby, and the passengers got off one by one, and they were heading for the same goal.
After entering the hall, another well-dressed waiter led the way, and soon, the two stepped into the real meeting place.
"Mr. Suleman, you are welcome."
Scarlett, who was no longer dressed in a silver helmet, was also wearing an evening gown, walking towards them gracefully. I have to say that after changing her clothes, although she still had a heroic look on her body, she was already a bit of a woman taste.
It's a pity that Scarlett didn't maintain this feeling. When she came in front of the two of them, she went straight in—
"What is your decision?"
"Scarci, such a direct questioner will not be welcomed by men." Suleman shook his head slightly, and then said with a smile: "I will join your relic team and go to the relic city of Seattle."
After a night of deliberation and private communication with Sin Yan, he finally decided to participate. After all, Suleman knows a lot of secrets of the Yatu ruined city, and he also has the crime flame as a means of saving his life. Compared with others, his advantage is almost Tianhu.
"Very wise choice."
Scarci showed a 'sure enough' expression. In her opinion, since the ancient nobles got the information on the 'forbidden area', this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they have their own power as their trump card. For the half-wild extraordinary who joined the bounty guild , is very attractive.
Suleman's joining was an inevitable result in Scarci's eyes.
"As for the participants of the ancient nobles, let's go, I will take you to get to know them." Scarci greeted, seeing this, Suleman let go of his wrist, let Ibis go to the buffet for a while, and he followed The other party went to the 'extraordinary party'.
It's worth mentioning that today Ibis is saving face, and she didn't deliberately tear down his platform in front of outsiders. With this in mind, Suleman followed Scarlett to the second floor, a side hall reserved for extraordinary people .
Stepping into the luxurious side hall, Suleman's eyes were attracted by two people, who were more conspicuous among the many people present.
One is a middle-aged man with bluish-blue hair, a vicissitudes of life, and a slight scar at the corner of his right eye. Looking at his appearance alone, he is at least fifty years old. His eyes are deep and full of determination. prisoner's feeling.
When ordinary people are swept by his eyes, they will always unconsciously think that they have done something wrong.
The other is an elderly man with a warm expression and introverted eyes. His hair is already gray and he is older than the blue-haired man, but there are few wrinkles on his face, and his skin is smooth and active, just like a middle-aged man.
There were also many people gathered around them, and the entire side hall seemed to be centered on two people. This was an extraordinary gathering, but there were two most dazzling people.
Two names immediately flashed in Theodore's eyes and Ed Suleman's mind in 'Code'.
This is their nickname.
Compared to the 'unknown' Scarlett, there was no information about her in the previous life forum. On the contrary, the two characters in front of me are famous, because, according to the original historical trajectory, they will become the heads of their own nobles.
The most important thing is that both of them have stepped into the level of "Member of Pardon". In the future plot, the Gangdian City where they sit has had a period of heyday. Of course, that is the future plot of Eternal Night.
Right now, the two famous figures have not stepped into the third rank, and they are not members of the Pardon Council. Looking at this scene, Suleman inexplicably has an illusion of personally participating in history. Of course, this history has long since deviated from the track.
At least in Gangdian City, due to his influence, the trajectory of this civilized city-state has been completely different.
At this time, Scarci stepped forward and introduced him to everyone—
"Grandpa Theodore, this is my friend, Suleman Arthur Doyle."
"The silver hunter with outstanding strength who saved our lives back then."
The old man with a gentle expression followed her introduction, looked at Suleman, and said very friendlyly: "I have heard of you, Mr. Suleman, the fourth silver hunter in Gangdian City, hehe, to be able to survive in that environment Next, it is not an easy task to return to the civilized city-state safely with the investigation team of the Church of Steam and the entire vehicle.”
Accompanied by his explanation, around the crowd, the children of nobles who were originally disdainful were a little moved.
Maybe they don't understand what 'that environment' refers to, but a fully equipped investigation team belonging to the Church of Steam is enough to explain a lot of problems! Thinking of this, many people re-examined and quietly looked at Suleman.
"It's just a fluke, this cannot be done without the assistance of the investigation team." Suleman said modestly.
Next, the two had another friendly chat, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Theodore "Storm Eye" despised Suleman without relying on his strength. On the contrary, he showed a friendliness that did not match his nickname, but in comparison, the 'Code' Ed on the other side was a little indifferent. Even after Scarlett stepped forward to recommend him, 'Code' Ed just nodded slightly, not In-depth communication means.
"Sorry, Uncle Ed is just like that"
Scarci apologized privately, but Suleman didn't care, and said curiously: "Ed is a member of the three major nobles of the Birrell family, why did they send two action teams? Is it the harvest in the city?"
Through some conversations, Suleman already knew about this exploration and divided them into two teams.
'Storm Eye' Theodore and 'Code' Ed each lead a team, that is, the two nobles, but the Calle family is missing.
"The Kahler family has no one suitable for promotion." Scarci sighed.
It may be that the sub-profession or skills are not up to standard. Su Erman realized in his heart that it seems that the ancient nobles really valued this exploration. As long as they do not meet the promotion requirements, they are not allowed to come out to lead the team.
"Currently, these two are also the acting heads of the family." Scarlett added.
After going through the auction incident, the ancient nobles also suffered heavy losses. After a reshuffle, the current situation has stabilized for them. They only have the acting head of the house, but no real head of the house.
Suleman nodded slightly to show his understanding. After getting to know each other, the whole party entered the second half.
Everyone began to look for their own dance partners. Due to their outstanding appearance and the appreciation of Theodore, some young girls noticed Suleman. Unfortunately, the latter returned to the front hall, but he was dancing with his sister.
On the lively dance floor, all kinds of men and women dance in pairs.
"The experience of using me as a shield is fun, right?"
Taking advantage of the interval between dancing, Ibis leaned close to his ear and said viciously.
"Isn't it good that we act as shields for each other?"
Suleman glanced around, and added with a smile: "After all, they looked at you, but they didn't hide it."
Responding to his teasing, it was Ibis who gritted her teeth fiercely, and suddenly bit the white teeth on his arm.
The next day, at the gate of Gangdian City.
Suleman rubbed his wrists and followed the crowd of ancient nobles. At this moment, they were about to leave the city and head for the former restricted area.
"Set off!"
Scarci in front nodded to him, turned around and set off with the team. Seeing this, Suleman followed leisurely.
And in his arms, a place trembled slightly, as if someone's venting and protesting was ineffective.
at the same moment,
In the sewers of the Jazz District, due to the end of the clean-up operation, the place has returned to its former calm. Suddenly, in the direction leading to the Huangdian District, a group of cloaked members slowly walked in the dark shadows as deep as ink.
"Stop."
The leader suddenly raised her hand, and then she stretched out her wrist, and saw a phantom on it, which seemed to be in the shape of an eagle.
And she closed her eyes, felt for a moment through the phantom on her wrist, and finally, she suddenly opened her eyes—
"They set off"
"Who is leading the team?"
There was a low, hoarse voice behind her, asking her softly.
"According to the video, it should be 'Fire Eye' and 'Code'." The girl replied.
"Understood, it seems that the ancient nobles of Gangdian City are ready to put all their eggs in one basket."
The deep voice hissed lightly for a while, and the next moment, he said slowly:
"Everyone, prepare to close the net."
