Chapter 321: Evaluation
Lady Teresa's appearance was apparently an accident, at least for Kailas. As the group was escorted out of the hall by a six-member team of cat goblins, the comical scene sent the dwarves' laughter through the door. It looked as if the three of them had been caught by eight cats, and although the cat goblins brought by Lady Teresa were dressed in neat leather armor and lined with metal flaps on their chests and abdomen, they still looked like cats, and their well-made clothes and neat steps and manners only added to the absurdity.
"Lady Maria, you seem to have some prestige in the city, and the dwarves are afraid to speak loudly in front of you. "Probably due to Kailas's relationship, Atta has a natural crush for the cat fairies. And Lady Teresa seemed to be very fond of this girl, and was even willing to walk side by side with her. As for the cheese, they had to follow behind the two women, suddenly looking like they were entourage.
"It's just that they still know how to respect women's manners, and I'm not a big deal, and it's just that there are more bad men in the cat fairies. The white cat fairy said unhurriedly, and among the neatly dressed guards, she was still undressed. Kailas had previously told several people that clothing was not a necessity for the cat elves. Because of the relationship with hair, they will not be ashamed of not wearing clothes, but it is better to say that wearing clothes through hair is a burden that cat fairies endure in order to show their identity, just like the gorgeous dresses worn by human nobles, the role of clothing does not actually produce much improvement, it is completely for others to appreciate and envy. And being able to jump out of such stereotypes but still have a noble status is evident in the special nature of Mrs. Teresa.
When it comes to status, I often don't say it too carefully, otherwise I will inevitably be suspected of boasting. But as an attendant, he couldn't let his master lose face, so one of the six cat goblins with a red feather on his hat explained in a low voice, "Madame has a deep understanding of mortal commerce, and many merchants and even chambers of commerce will ask her to help manage their property. The lady will invest this wealth in her favorite industry or store, and collect interest on top of the principal. Dwarves have always been known for their poor business, and their ideas are not very suitable. Therefore, most of the dwarves on the Felt Avenue have intersections with the Lady. β
"I know, in our hometown, this is called Qianzhuang!" Jian Qi nodded, and then naturally harvested the white eyes of all the cat goblins present, "Please call him a financier, sir." β
At a time when the sword seeker was deflated, Cheese showed recognition of this unique industry. In such a city where commerce and trade are extremely developed, it is almost inevitable that there should indeed be people who can further manipulate the flow of money. Moreover, in the flow of money, people ignore the gender and ethnicity of the person who controls the money, and only care about the ability and reliability of the other party in the pursuit of results, which also explains why a cat fairy can get the title of financier. The capital of Rushing is a city of merchants, and being able to become a merchant who serves merchants is by no means low in this city.
The group had already walked some distance between words, but this direction was different from the way Cheese and the others walked along the avenue during the day, and as the cat fairy who led the way turned through the alleys that had not been noticed during the day, human voices gradually came from the dim street lamp. Lady Teresa clapped her hands lightly, and immediately some of the guards handed the cheese and them masks, especially Atta's mask, which was deliberately inlaid with colored glass at the place of the eyes, so that people could not directly see the pupils behind the mask, apparently to prevent anyone from detecting her identity.
"The night market is fun, but it's also dangerous, and there are always people who want to make money but aren't honest. I have deep roots in the city, and many chambers of commerce and organizations want to sell my face, so there is nothing taboo. You're a few different people, you're new to the stream, and you're inevitably treated as a target to be bullied by the Ground Snakes, and although there's no doubt that Kailas is in the dark and can really cause you trouble, it's definitely not a happy thing to be chased by bed bugs. "There is some truth in that. However, the implication of these words is that the white cat, which has deep roots here, has no intention of protecting the safety of the group in the city.
There's nothing to complain about, after all, they're not related to Lady Teresa, and even if Kailas has some friendship with her, it's not enough to make the other party take care of it. Now people are willing to take them to see the flow of the night, and they have thoughtfully prepared a mask to cover their identity, which can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness. At that moment, Cheese rubbed his fingers on the mask a few times, confirmed that the mask was not magical, and put it on his face. Seeing the mage's actions, Atta and Kenqi also put on their masks, but Kairaz didn't get the mask, and as a cat elf, most people except his people couldn't really tell what they looked like. Besides, if you want to disguise your identity instead of a mask, changing the color of your coat is the right thing to do.
"It looks like this gentleman in the robe is the leader of your team, and I'm curious to see what kind of man he is that would make the proud Kailath want to follow. The order in which the team members wore their masks made it natural for Lady Teresa to reason about their relationship, and her knowledge of Kailas made her curious about the humans who could suppress the rebellious rangers among the feline goblins.
"It's hard to say, he's still too young. Kailas's tone and expression were serious, partly because of his respect for Lady Teresa, which prevented him from judging Cheese in a gag tone, "I mean, as a human being, his biological age is sufficient. But his psychology does not mean naΓ―ve, on the contrary, he has experienced some very interesting things. These things were supposed to be the most powerful glue that molded him into a true adult. The problem is that he broke the shape himself, like a dried statue suddenly turning back into a puddle of mud. β
"You don't think you've ever given a human such a high rating. He didn't say anything bad about him. The white cat chuckled, she didn't really care what kind of person Cheese was. She was more concerned about what Kailath thought Cheese was.
"Humans have their own merits, ma'am, but I've seen so much that I often see the parts of them that disgust me at a glance. It's a bad habit, when you're older, you're used to doing things based on experience, but I'm too lazy to change it. Kairaz laughed, and the banter in his eyes changed to something else. But when his companions looked this way, he immediately turned back into the cynical cat.
"How long do you have to wear a mask? I can already smell the smell of grilled fish. β
