Toller is a merchant in Deadwood City, and the continent of Chiren is growing better and better under the rule of the High Council.

Although there are still many poor people, the road is much better than in the turbulent times, when people often starve to death.

Even if he is a poor person, he still has a few children in savings.

Nowadays, more and more people are trying to find a way to become businessmen, which is a popular profession, and of course, it is necessary to have a way and be willing to spend money.

Otherwise, thieves or monsters on the road will make you regret your stinginess.

After a few years of fooling around, Toller finally managed to get a place in Deadwood City, and he was told to invite the young scholar.

He didn't know why, he just had to do his job quietly.

A businessman who has no power only needs to take care of his mouth and the gold coins in his hand.

Hearing his own words, the man bowed his head slightly, and said a little arrogantly: "Say." ”

Toller had no grievances about this, as the young man was a scholar and did not need to be humble as a businessman.

In fact, a new upper-level like this young man, who has no prestige, will be looked down upon if he is still kind to ordinary businessmen.

They tend to take your low-key as a weak joke, and here they also include those civilians.

"This is an invitation from an adult to you."

Toller respectfully presented a hardcover invitation, printed with a golden pattern, a decoration used only by the nobility.

"Okay, I'll think about it, you can step down."

"Yes, honorable scholar."

"I've just turned academic, so you're here to invite me? What a coincidence......"

Joxiu opened the invitation and saw that it read:

To the noble scholars -

We sincerely invite you to participate in a game, rest assured that those pesky untouchables will not be on the field, and I am sure that you will keep a good mood.

Remind you that before entering the venue, be sure to wear the mask you have prepared, and when the time comes, you will have unexpected surprises.

At the bottom is the date and location, without attribution.

Seeing the name of this place, Joxiu showed a strange look on his face.

"Masquerade?"

Judging by the information in the invitation, it is estimated that this is a party limited to the upper class of nobles, and the content is mysterious.

He was not a scholar or an aristocrat, so he had never seen anything like it.

In addition to guessing the possibility, he really wanted to see what this mysterious game was.

The cold dagger swirled and jumped in his hand.

"Interesting."

A richly decorated hall.

"Nix, why did you invite that kid?" A young man dressed as an aristocrat was a little dissatisfied, and a charming woman in his arms was coquettish.

"He's only the most junior scholar, and his status is not even higher than that of a baron."

"You know, in a few years, you and I will inherit the title of earl in the family."

"Little elementary schooler, it's not worth our friendship."

Nix shook his head, shook the red wine in his hand, and took a sip gently: "If it's another scholar, forget it, his mentor is a teacher at Bloom University, Ross, do you understand that?" ”

"Boumun?" Rusi was taken aback, "The master who is said to be about to become a sage?" ”

"yes," said Nix, "I heard that he has been living in seclusion here all these years, but I didn't expect it to be true, otherwise what do you think I'm doing here?" ”

"It is good for our family to make good friends with him, Master Boumne is a scholar who specializes in learning, but it does not mean that he does not have any human feelings."

"That boy just gave us a breakthrough."

When Rusi heard this, he felt that what he said made sense, and his previous complaints were gone.

He and the Knicks' family have been friends for generations, and from a very young age, the elders of the family have confessed that they want to learn more from him.

Before going out of this long way, he was even more instructed to obey the words of the Nix, but now that I think about it, I still have to admire.

He is the same age as the Knicks, but his wisdom is still a lot worse, and he is not as long-term and thoughtful as the other party.

However, he did not have any jealousy and envy for this, but a kind of dependence, and their family relationship was very good.

With the other party's carrying, you don't have to think much about it, and you can enjoy it.

Thinking of this, Ruos couldn't help but pinch the warm fragrant nephrite in his arms and let out a lewd laugh.

Seeing this, Knicks shook his head secretly......

This masquerade game was also thought of by this kid, and the purpose is not very good, but I have to say that this method is unexpectedly good in the current aristocratic circle.

The next night

Joshua didn't wear a red floral badge, and what he needed now was to keep a low profile and not need to change out of his civilian outfit.

On the way, there were a few thieves who wanted to steal, but they were all secretly twisted and left by Joshua.

Turning around the thriving city center, you can go around a few streets, and on both sides of the road are women dressed in fancy clothes soliciting customers.

These prostitutes and women are very revealing in their clothes, and if they didn't want to give the city guards a face, they probably wouldn't want to stand naked.

In fact, from time to time, there is a drunkard who can't hold back a prostitute or a woman and goes into the dark alley to carry out some kind of primitive activity.

The sound of snapping, panting and moaning was faintly heard in the noise.

This is the edge of the ghetto, a mix of all the ordinary citizens, a mix of snakes and dragons.

Even in the era of parliamentary rule, there is still a dark existence, and the above turns a blind eye to these situations.

As long as they don't go too far, the city guards won't meddle in their affairs, or they will be exhausted to death.

No matter how charming those prostitutes and women are, Joxiu is not interested, not to mention whether they are reserved or not, who knows what kind of hellish face is under the thick makeup powder?

slapped off the hand of the seventh prostitute and woman who held him, and Joxiu came to Yanliu Lane.

This is the most famous brothel belt in the neighborhood, both in terms of quality and service, which is top-notch and is specially prepared for the wealthy.

When he entered the door, he saw several wealthy merchants with jewels coming out of it and saying goodbye to their old friends.

The masquerade game was held in a brothel here.

As a gathering of the upper echelons, it is really an unexpected place.

"This young master, may I ask which girl do you want to accompany you?"

A middle-aged woman with a twisted posture and heavy makeup came to Yoxiu.

As a prostitute and female leader here, his eyesight is very poisonous, and he can see at a glance that Joxiu is the first time to come to this kind of place.

"We have pure and mature ...... here There are all kinds of types. ”

"If you have a habit of cleanliness, you can also find an unbudding one, but it's just the price, a little expensive."

Shaking his head, Yoxiu had a cold face and said arrogantly: "I'm not here to prostitute, these rouge women, Young Master Ben still can't look down on them!" ”

When the prostitutes and female leaders heard Joshua's words, they were not happy, but they insisted on not showing it.

When she saw the invitation letter that Joxiu took out, her face changed, the displeasure in her eyes disappeared, and she helped Joxiu cover it up with awe.

The invitation is too conspicuous to be laid out so generously, and if it is passed out, it will not sound good after all.

"Honorable lord, the slave is offended, I didn't know you were coming to the ball."

Joxiu was here for the first time, so it's no wonder she didn't recognize her.

She didn't explain either, because she knew that explanations were useless for these big shots, and it was better to admit her mistakes honestly.

Otherwise, they may also feel that you think they are making a mistake.

Between commoners and nobles, the latter can never be the fault.

If you have to think it's their fault......

The prostitute and the female leader looked a little frightened, and she remembered her previous one.

It is said that she offended a big man because of this, and was stripped naked and thrown into the corner of an alley in the slum.

Those places were often the most humble gathering places for the poor, and many homeless people spent their nights there.

A woman, as long as she is not old to the point of being ugly, will arouse the wolf nature of the untouchables who have been hungry and thirsty for a long time, but there is not much emptiness.

Thinking that he might fall into that fate, the prostitute and the female leader couldn't help but tremble.

Fortunately, the young big man in front of him didn't seem to care about him, and seemed to disdain to waste time on her.

This made her breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately she was not taken seriously, fortunately she tried her best to hide her emotions just now.

"Goddess Ireli bless."

She silently thanked Lady Luck.
