"Dou~~~~" Under the blue sky at dusk, waves of dove whistles passed over the sky of the Capital of Knowledge, and smoke rose straight from the chimneys of houses in various cities. The smoke from the lined smoke was stained with golden light under the sunset, like a hazy and illusory forest.
The capital of knowledge under the setting sun is busy. The vendors selling things seize the last time of the day, shouting hard, and trying to reduce the amount of their inventory. People who get off work are walking home on the way home, shuttle between the streets and alleys. On both sides of the street, most shops have been closed, and only a few are still insisting on the twilight, receiving the last batch of guests every day.
Compared with the other four urban areas, the Beicheng District is different. For the people in the Beicheng District, the dusk is just the time to dress up at home. Only when the moon rises indicates the arrival of the most lively stage of the day. However, today, the Beicheng District is abnormal. Before the sun sets, various carriages with ordinary or gorgeous decorations pass by the streets, and the targets are pointing to the same location - No. 3, Manias Street.
Manias Street is a quiet and beautiful street in the North City. Among the people from all over the country who come to the North City to make art pilgrimage, the street that nobles and rich people like to buy real estate the most. It is not that they are rich to a certain extent, and it is impossible to own a property on this street. However, there has always been a strange phenomenon on Manias Street. The owners of the three buildings, No. 1, No. 3 and No. 5, have never appeared here and remained mysterious. Few people know who the owners of these three buildings are. Of course, today, the answer has been revealed. All three buildings belong to the Marquis of Snape. As for the reason why he bought three buildings at once, it was just because he did not like to be neighbors with others.
Stepping on Manias Street will immediately leave a deep impression on people. The street is only eighty meters wide. If the auxiliary roads on both sides are included, the width is even close to 100 meters, and it can accommodate twelve carriages side by side. Any carriage will feel insignificant when driving on Manias Street for no reason. On both sides of the street, two rows of tall sycamore trees are planted, and the trees more than 30 meters tall stand on both sides of the street. The numerous leaves turn into golden colors in the autumn wind, and a fine grating is woven under the sunset.
Outside the sycamore trees are neatly arranged lawns, each lawn is a square of 500 meters long and wide, separated by a wooden courtyard wall in the middle. On the one hand, facing the street, a metal fence is used as the courtyard wall. Villas of different shapes stand in the middle of the lawn, embellishing the two sides of the street in colorful colors.
Facing the afterglow of the sunset, a carriage drove from a distance, turned the corner, and stepped onto Manias Street. The carriage was very ordinary, and it could even be said to be too ordinary, it was a taxi carriage rented from the carriage shop. If there were people who were familiar with the business of the carriage shop, they could even find that even the drivers who drove the carriage were temporarily rented by the carriage shop. However, even so, no one would underestimate the people in the carriage, because their target was No. 3 Manias Street, the focus of the capital of knowledge tonight. Being invited by Marquis Snape to attend to the dance tonight is a symbol of identity, and even if they were walking in rags, no one would dare to underestimate it.
The carriage slowly advanced and stopped in front of the door of No. 3 Manias Street. Seven or eight gorgeous carriages and three or four other horses that looked extraordinary were parked in front of the wide gate. It was obvious that some guests had arrived in advance. The driver who drove the carriage was restrained and carefully drove the carriage. Under the guidance of the welcome waiter, he stopped in the designated position, for fear of scratching the expensive vehicles.
On the carriage that had arrived, the coachman was wearing dresses or uniforms, sitting in his respective seats of the masters, waiting patiently for the owner. At this time, he saw the new colleague and this ordinary carriage, and looked at him with interest. Not only the coachman, but the family of four had just walked out of the carriage that had arrived before, and when he saw the new carriage, he stopped and stood in front of the gate, waiting with a little curiosity, wanting to see who would take such a carriage to the appointment.
The carriage stopped, and the well-trained waiter in black quickly caught up and bent over and opened the door of the carriage respectfully. A pure black lacquered boot stretched out from the door and stepped on the solid wood steps placed under the carriage. With the sound of the heels of the boots buckled the ground, a man slowly walked out of the carriage. Above the black boots were a pair of silk trousers with black bottom gray stripes, and a dark belt buckled around his waist. The innermost part of the upper body was a white shirt, with the collar of the shirt
It is the most popular lace nowadays. Beside the white shirt, a silk vest with a black background and gold silk printed on it, with silver corsage on the vest, and a dark purple long windbreaker covered the outermost. On the wrist of the long windbreaker, a trace of the white cuffs on the shirt was revealed, and as the movement of the arms appeared, there was a pair of black gloves on the hands. Below the cuffs, a pair of black gloves were worn on the hands. The man had short golden hair and a black wide-brimmed top hat on his head, swaying with his head.
The man walked out of the carriage, stood there silently for a few seconds, reached out and tidied up his clothes slightly, then slowly turned around, took off his hat with his left hand and gently pressed it on his chest, his right hand palm was facing upward, extending out in the direction of the car door, and bowed slightly to wait.
Soon, a small hand with white silk gloves was placed in the man's outstretched palm. His fingers were slender and flexible, and his palms were soft. The only regret was that his hand shape was slightly thicker than that of ordinary women.
The man gently held the little hand in the palm of his hand, and focused his expression to lead a lady out of the carriage.
The ladies are wearing black high-heeled short boots on their feet, and they are wearing thick silk one-piece dresses with two halves of collar. The sides of the lapel meet in the middle of the front. The white background color sets off the sparse, thin black lines that are different from each other. Although it is a one-piece dress, it is actually just a set, and it is still separate from the upper and lower parts, so you can wear it separately. The lower part of the long skirt is a straight long skirt, and the upper body is actually closer to the male collar dress. The collar is turned outward, and the front and back of the collar are all pure black. Under the upper body, there is also a white women's shirt, with a black printed narrow tie on the neck and a purple women's top hat on the head, and the whole body is filled with heroic, generous and capable neutral beauty.
The man gently held the lady down the steps and stood on the flat ground, then put his hat on the top of his head again. The lady smiled gratefully to the man, stretched out his left hand and put it on the man's arm, walked around his right hand, and held his left hand. The man smiled and nodded to the woman, and the two walked side by side towards the metal fence gate open in front of the lawn.
The four family, who had been staying at the gate for a short while and wanted to wait for the new guests to walk with them, couldn't help but frown when they saw the woman getting out of the car, and they couldn't help but frown, and turned around and walked into the gate. They knew that the clothes women were wearing were indeed dresses, and they were very solemn dresses, but almost no nobles or rich people would wear that style of dress because of the particularity of that dress.
That kind of dress is called the female knight's dress, which is specially designed for female knights who are professionals. Many professionals do not like to wear ordinary aristocratic dresses when attending regular banquets or dances, but when entering the venue in various messy leather armor, they will not respect the host who holds the banquet. Therefore, more than a thousand years ago, someone designed several special dresses for female professionals, which can set off the characteristics of this profession without losing its beauty and solemnity. This one in front of them is one of them.
Although the professionals have a high status in the Yala continent, the aristocratic family of four in other countries is obviously not prepared to have too much anxiety with the new two professionals, because in the Yala continent, the nobles and professionals, especially high-level independent professionals, have always been not very friendly.
As a noble, it is synonymous with nobility. It has always been measured by blood, family, status and power. In their eyes, civilians in all territories should obey them and subordinate them. Professionals, especially high-level professionals, obviously do not think so. In the world of professionals, strength is respected. Only when strength is strong can one gain more respect, and only when strength is strong can one gain more voice.
Since two thousand years ago, conflicts have arisen between the two ideas. One noble side does not want to see high-level professions talking to them equally, but their own people cannot mass-produce high-level professions, and their strength is not enough to suppress the other party, and often needs the other party's assistance. As the profession, there are not many, and there are various involvement in family and favors, and often they need the assistance of the nobles, which ultimately leads to a subtle balance between development and development. The nobles give high-level professions equal or even higher courtesy, while the high-level professions join the aristocrats in exchange for strong income.
However, there is still a group of professionals who advocate freedom and independence who are unwilling to rely on the existence of nobles or wealthy people. They often spontaneously form groups and make money through their own abilities. The initial mercenaries and adventurers, and even major professional guilds are composed of these independent adventurers, and the higher the level of professionals, the more independent professionals there are.
For independent professionals, the nobles have no countermeasures. Their strength is far beyond common sense. They cannot do it if they want to suppress them. If they want to bribe them, they are only willing to accept employment and are unwilling to join the nobles' forces to become subordinates. This has led to the nobles and the rich being very disgusted with this uncontrollable force.
Unfortunately, no matter how disgusted you are, there are still many independent professionals, especially after the establishment of a neutral place, this proportion is increasing every year, making the nobles and rich people hate it to the core and helpless.
In this case, some old-fashioned nobles simply turned a blind eye to independent professionals and did not have any interaction with them, just pretending that they did not exist, so the four family of four saw two professionals turn around and leave.
The two looked at each other helplessly and followed behind and came to the gate. The man handed the invitation to the waiter who registered the guests in front of the gate. The welcomed guest glanced at the invitation and looked even more respectful. He made a gesture in secret. Two waiters leading the way quickly walked to the two and bowed to lead the way.
