Leon walked for a few minutes and then arrived at Maas's house, where Mas stood at the door to greet the guests.

"Welcome, Leon!, please come in!" said Maas with a smile.

"Thank you!" Leon said.

Maas and Leon walked into the courtyard together and came to the living room.

There were already some people in the living room, and Maas said, "Let me introduce you to the neighbor who recently moved in. ”

"Welcome!" said an older man with some gray hair.

"Welcome new neighbors!" said a woman sitting on the couch as she stood up.

“......”

Everyone in the living room stood up and said kind words.

Although Maas did not introduce what Li Ang did, he looked very well dressed, and everyone who lived here was either rich or expensive, and everyone was very friendly to Li Ang.

"Thank you for your welcome, my name is Li Ang, I work in the Arrest Department, if you have anything in the future, you can ask me for help. Li Ang saw that everyone was a little curious about his identity, so he took the initiative to say it.

He also saw that the temperament of these people is not something that ordinary people can have, and the party here is also interconnected, and it is convenient to find people to do anything or do business, which can be regarded as a social gathering.

"Li Ang, you can sit casually, I still have to go to the door to receive guests. Maas said with a smile.

"Good!" said Leon and sat down.

"Hello, my name is Cassim Jung, and I live in this community. A middle-aged man beside Li Ang said and stretched out his right hand.

"Hello, Mr. Qasim!" Leon shook his hand.

"You work in the Arrest Department, which department are you in? I have friends there, maybe you still know each other. Qasim said.

"Oh, I'm working in the Investigation Section. Leon said.

"Investigation Division, is it the Danger Investigation Division?" said Kasim in a loud voice.

"yes, what's wrong?" said Leon.

When several people around heard it, they all looked over.

"It's nothing! I didn't expect you to work in that place, disrespecting Mr. Leon. Qasim said.

"Don't be so polite, we're all neighbors. Leon said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, it's all neighbors, I'm in the furniture business, and that's my business card. As he spoke, Kasim took out a silver-white business card and handed it to Leon.

Li Ang stretched out his hand to take it, it was a silver business card, which was soft to the touch, and it looked like a high-end business card made of silver.

It is engraved with Sinai furniture maker, Casim Jung.

"I don't have a business card, I'm sorry. Leon said.

"It's okay, I'll remember, hehe!" Qasim said with a smile.

A lady who looked like she was in her thirties who greeted him just now also came over, sat on Leon's left, and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Leon, my name is Alipa Cardwell, you can call me Alipa." ”

"Hello! Ms. Aripa. Leon said with a smile.

"This is my business card, I work at Kudell Auction House. Aripa said.

Leon looked at the business card was golden, "Is it made of gold?"

He looked at it carefully, and squeezed it quietly, like a gold-plated metal business card.

Kassim's business card just now is probably silver-plated, otherwise it wouldn't be so flexible, silver and gold are very expensive things, and it is estimated that no one would be willing to use it as a business card.

After a while, Li Ang received more than a dozen business cards, and on the sofa, he was chatting faintly, and there were a few aristocratic-looking people chatting on the chair on the other side, and they didn't come over.

After a while, no guests came in, and Maas returned.

Maas nodded at Leon and said, "Today we have a new neighbor, Leon Fakus, who works in the Arrest Department, so we can communicate more in the future."

Today's topic is the essay of the Andal scholar: The Man Who Chases the Fields, Let Lady Martha preside. Maas said.

After Maas finished speaking, a servant poured a cup of tea for everyone and brought some desserts.

Martha took a chapter of the newspaper and read: "The man who chases the fields, when I was very young, my father was a worker, my mother was a craftsman, my family was very happy, not rich, but I had a good life, I had an older brother and an older sister.

Whenever the market is my happiest, we will go to the market with the baskets...... It wasn't until I was nine years old that the cavalry of the Leo Empire came, and we had to run away with our families, and everything was sold cheaply......"

When Lady Martha had finished reading the whole newspaper, she put it down and took a sip of her tea, and said, "Let everyone have their opinions." ”

"I think the Andal scholar is a beautiful story reminiscing about his childhood, and the title of the book is The Man Who Chased the Fields. Ms. Aripa said.

"Perhaps the Andal scholars are tired of the war, and although there are many beautiful things in the text, the more beautiful they are, the more nostalgic they are. A middle-aged man with gray hair said.

“......”

Leon also expressed some opinions, and the others also said a few words.

Maas then stood up again and said, "It's time for our dinner, please come to the dining room." ”

Everyone stood up and followed Maas to the living room on the second floor, when it was completely dark outside, and the ceiling and walls of the living room were gaslit, and it looked as bright as daytime.

There are several large round tables, next to which are several long tables with a variety of food, including grilled meats, vegetable salads, desserts, soups and seafood, etc., the main food is white bread, rice and noodles, and a few servants are waiting on the side, far from the dining place here.

Maas walked over to a round table and fiddled with a metal object, and after fiddling with it for a while, the two servants shook a wheel-like thing, and Leon was far away from them, not knowing what they were doing.

After a short while, there was a burst of music, a mezzo-soprano song, singing a country tune.

"Is this a phonograph?" Leon was a little surprised, there was no electricity and there was actually a phonograph, and the two servants who were rotating to turn the wheel should be shaking the hand generator.

"This is a gramophone that Mr. Maas bought, supposedly shipped from the New World, and I wanted to buy one but didn't sell it. Furniture dealer Qasim said.

"This was originally called a gramophone, and I heard it a few times last time, but it was originally shipped from the New World, and it took a few years to go back and forth from the New World. ”

"Yes, even with the fastest steamship, it would take more than two years to reach the New World. ”

"Monsieur Maas, though a merchant, is remarkable, and I have seen gramophones in the house of an earl. A man said.

"It's amazing that Mr. Leon recognized the gramophone at a glance," Qasim said. ”

"yes! I don't know. ”

“......”

The topic gradually led to Li Ang's side, Li Ang just raised his glass and said a few words, and everyone saw that he was not very sexual and said other things.

Li Ang went to the buffet area to fill a bowl of soup and took a few seafood, although Sinai is a coastal city, he really has never eaten seafood, and seafood is not affordable for civilians, black bread and pickles are their meals.

"Viscount Andrew, what did you think about what I said last time, and now is a good time to organize a fleet to go to sea together. A middle-aged man said.

"Count Ove, I haven't thought about it yet. Andrei said.

Leon nodded as he passed them, and they nodded politely to Leon, but not very welcoming.

When I returned to the table and ate, I heard a lot of things about the upper class, such as the goods brought back by the fleet of which family made a fortune, whose son chased the daughter of which family and spent a lot of money, and so on.

The people who ate here were basically some merchants and barons, and there was also a viscount, who was also very polite to Leon, and he could see as if his status was quite high.

Think about it when he was in Count Caffey's estate, although Chief Barnard also respected Count Caffey, he called the two equals, and they knew Count Caffey, and they only regarded themselves as juniors, not in position.

In terms of status, they may be equal to barons or viscounts, after all, they are knights, members of the power of this world, not comparable to ordinary people.
