There's a saying that if something bad can happen, even if the chances are low, it will happen.

The more Jacques tried to pass by Zidilan safely, the unexpected would suddenly come to his door.

At the inn at two o'clock in the afternoon, before four o'clock a servant came to the inn with an invitation, claiming to invite the noble gentleman and the beautiful lady from the empire to the ball to be held at the Grand Chief's Mansion tomorrow night.

Jacques took the invitation from the Stray Iron Fist and quipped, "I don't even know our names, but he invited us to the ball just because of his blond hair and white skin, this big chief is really funny." ”

Lily stirred the wind in her hands, blowing her blonde hair into the air, dispelling the droplets left behind after bathing: "Since you know that we are entering the city, and you know that we are staying here, if you don't go, it may cause trouble for our subsequent journey." Anyway, we're going to have a full day off, so let's go and have fun. But, Martin, they'd better not show up, just the six of us. ”

"No problem, I'll talk to you about dinner today. ”

......

Fabian and Natasha welcomed the ball, and it was their first formal social meeting since coming to the New World.

Everyone immediately began to worry about what to wear tomorrow, and there was no dress in the luggage!

The only solution is to buy, buy, buy!

After eating a not-so-authentic baked pie with tomato and potato beef soup at the hotel, the four girls immediately went shopping and bought dresses before the store closed.

Jacques and Fabian had to accompany them, and they took the white fox to lead the way, and then went to what is said to be the most prosperous neighborhood in the city of Zidiran.

In a neighborhood where there are no poor people with no eyes, they quickly find a haute couture store.

The girls were amazed to find that the clothing style of Zidilan's haute couture store could keep up with the fashion of the imperial capital, which was always seeking change and innovation.

There are many luxurious fabrics such as woven gold cotton, jacquard brocade, and moire silk, and even Alixia, who knows the most about fabrics, is reluctant to let go after touching those silky fabrics, and begins to wonder whether to replace her shirt and trousers with such soft materials.

When she told the brightly dressed waitress about her idea, the waitress said that they also had ready-to-wear pants that were convenient for this kind of movement, and in Alysia's anticipation, the waitress brought a set of brocade pajamas......

In the end, each of the four girls chose a new set of evening dresses with square necklines and small backless narrow sleeves, paired with a headscarf, gloves and shawls of the same color.

In the gap between fitting clothes, Lily chatted with the waitress and learned that the owner of the clothing store was the daughter of a certain warrior who had studied at the Royal Higher Source Energy Academy in the imperial capital.

When Jacques heard this, he interjected and asked, "I have read in the book that young people under the age of thirty of the Sioux race compete every year, and select one with the highest martial arts skills to obtain the title of warrior and become the protector of the Lake Temple.

But this only means that the warrior's strength is superior, but I didn't expect the warrior to make money like this, this shop can't be opened without tens of thousands of silver coins. ”

The aboriginal waitress saw that a few young people were kind and generous, and she bought four of the most expensive dresses at once, and her sales commission this month will be a beautiful number, and she was in a happy mood, and her mouth was a lot more casual, and she whispered to Jacques:

"Little handsome guy, don't you know, our boss's father won the title of warrior with his strength, and everyone is very respectful when he says the name 'Black Elk'!

A lot of people who do business want to cooperate with him, and even the big chief opens a ranch with him, so can he not make money?"

Jacques heard some meaning in her words, and immediately asked, "You said that he won the title of warrior by strength?

The waitress, who was not much older than Jacques, was amused: "Giggles, the little handsome guy is really young, and I haven't seen the twists and turns in society yet."

In the early years, warriors fought with punches and a little luck.

Not anymore. In the past ten years, the warrior's family has no wealth of hundreds of thousands of silver coins, and those who have no money can only become a stepping stone for others.

There is no money to open the way, and the round-robin matches have to be fought hard one by one, and they are injured, and they are also sent to the rematch. Not to mention those good people who were bought, they were specifically sniping at these ordinary people, and when they met a rich young master, they would admit defeat and earn enough money to spend for several years. Many people specialize in this and save a lot of money in a few years.

If he really didn't admit defeat and offended those rich young masters, he would go to the lake to feed the fish that night.

In the final finals, it was all those rich young masters who were fighting and making trouble, and the current title of warrior was a joke for everyone.

Or the father of our boss, a warrior of his time, worthy of respect. ”

The waitress unconsciously became proud.

Jacques was puzzled and asked, "Warriors are not worthy of respect, why should they fight?"

"Because the warrior is the guardian of the lake temple, the lake temple will have a lot of gifts, and the trade tax and agricultural tax have been levied since these years, and the warrior's property is also exempt from tax.

The most important thing is that every warrior is a candidate for the next Great Chief. ”

Fabian was put on a long suede four-button jacket by Natasha, and then brought it to Jacques to show it, and asked casually, "Since your boss's father is so powerful, is he the most likely to become the Great Chief?"

The waitress was even more proud at this time, and replied with a smile: "Our boss's father should not be the next big chief, her future husband will be the next big chief, last year he has officially changed his name to 'chief candidate', after the fishing festival, they will get married." ”

Change your name and bring a watch to become the next Great Chief?

Jacques and Fabian both find it magical, but the small talk with the waitress is interrupted and they are about to try on clothes.

Lily and Natasha agreed that a cropped suede three-button jacket would look better, with a top hat, a vest, straight-pressed trousers and pointy shoes, and both Jacques, who was usually slouchy and casual, and Fabian, who was always too old-fashioned, could become more handsome and handsome.

In the end, the six of them left the address of the inn, paid a large sum of silver, and returned to the inn happily, and the next day they could get the dress that had been changed overnight, and go to the ball beautifully.

The gorgeous shopping street, with its dazzling array of goods in the cupboards, is not even inferior to that of Port Mousse and Rand, and the streets are clean and tidy, and the beggars who wander in other neighborhoods are isolated from this neighborhood.

Everyone here is so sunny and welcoming, they take off their top hats and show their trademark red hair to greet Jacques and the others, as if they had met acquaintances on the streets of Port Mousse.

In the past few hours, people have forgotten that this is actually the poor countryside recorded in the book, and the emperor was too lazy to conquer, and after the surrender of the Sioux people, he generously let them govern the place.

Unfortunately, Jacques could not forget the eyes of the woman holding the child at the city gate, and the ferocity with which they were desperately fighting for a hundred-livr bill.

- What a city of contradictions, Jacques thought to himself.
