Half past seven in the evening.

The castle hall, which is almost the size of a football field, is brightly lit.

The bright red carpet is soft and flat, the long solid wood dining table is lit up with candlesticks, the flanks are full of colourful food, and the air is filled with a strange smell of fragrant wood.

Hanging at least five or six meters in the air, there are more than a dozen chandeliers like bunches of grapes, and on the ceiling is a starry sky mural that looks like it comes from the hands of famous artists.

When you look at it, you can even see those water-blue cloud patterns.

At the edge of the large hall is a melodious violin performance, and the wood from the firefire burns with a warm flame.

The crowd is spread out in twos and threes throughout the warm orange hall.

At some point, two figures walked side by side on the long spiral staircase by the fireplace.

It instantly attracted the attention of most of the people present.

The man was a pale, middle-aged man with slightly curly hair, half black and half white.

The woman was dressed in a slender silver prosthetic leg, and she was not even clothed......

Except for a human bald head with a sharp face, the woman's entire body is made of metal with a mercury-like texture, which is completely integrated.

After staring at it for a long time, it seems that you can even feel the metal flowing like a liquid.

And even with prosthetics, women's prosthetics are very different from human aesthetics for the human body.

In the ankles, wrists, and other slender positions, her prosthetic limbs are only two or three chopsticks thick.

The prosthetic limbs in other places also looked similarly slim, and Jiang Bai's first impression of her turned out to be......

Mantis?

Or a stilted spider?

"Is this art?"

Jiang Bai winked at Wei Yan beside him.

Art can be grounded, but not grounded.

You can go to the hall, but you can't go to heaven.

Wei Yan shook his head.

"It's probably going to be a little weird when you first see it."

Jiang Bai didn't quite agree.

"This kind of art is too early for mankind."

However, there was a slight discussion around the field.

"Lady Maria is so elegant......"

"It's a unique temperament."

Xue'er and Lin Lin in Jiang Bai's vision hugged each other like a pair of real sisters, and when they looked at the figure slowly descending from the spiral staircase, there seemed to be a fanatical flow of emotions in their eyes.

"It's Maria......"

Of course, compared to the dozens of people in the hall today, the admiration is still a minority after all.

More people remained silent, just looking at the two people who came down, not saying a word.

Guoguo was beside Jiang Bai, looking at the woman, there was only pure strangeness in her eyes.

"Xiaobai, she's so scary......"

Wei Yan hurriedly looked at him and made a "shhhhh

It's okay not to approve of it, but it's obviously not good to say it in this kind of situation.

As the two walked through most of the stairs, the sound of the violin on the field also stopped temporarily.

Behind a red curtain, there was a crisp sound of piano keys.

It was just a simple prelude, and it suddenly seemed to capture the hearts of everyone in the audience.

The voice was slightly silent, which suddenly made everyone subconsciously look forward to the follow-up.

Immediately after, the continuous key strikes were immediately connected, and the cheerful tune seemed to have something tangible and floated out throughout the hall.

The melodious notes wrapped around everyone present, and even made people feel the urge to dance to the beat.

Jiang Bai's eyes were in a trance.

With the sound of the piano, he seemed to see the blue sky and clear water, and the golden wheat fields were endless......

"It's Shiqin."

Wei Yan's tone was a little surprised.

She doesn't have too much yearning for glamorous idols, but she always respects those who are really capable and reserved.

There is no doubt that Shi Qin is such a person.

Jiang Bai looked at the red curtain, the curtain was thin, and he could vaguely see the figure behind it.

In front of the black and white piano is a slender figure wearing a long red dress.

The woman focused on keeping her head down, her hands dancing lightly.

"I've always heard that Baron Tafel is obsessed with music and art, and it seems that this is the case. It is said that Miss Maria also became a close friend of Baron Tafel because of her unique artistic attainments. ”

Jiang Bai nodded.

To the sound of the piano, Baron Tafel and Miss Maria descended the stairs.

The two did not take the initiative to go to everyone.

"Even though the evening party is held here, they are strictly speaking just a venue where everyone is left to socialize. Both of them are from the same Baizhou aristocratic background, and they have a quiet personality, and they are not very good at warm communication. ”

Jiang Bai looked at the two figures who walked to the side and sat down face to face, with some inquiring in his eyes.

This Miss Maria is so weird.

Those people are also overzealous about her pursuit.

Or, can you approach her and have a look?

As he thought so, the sound of the piano gradually came to an end.

Behind the thin curtain, a waiter could be seen hunched over and talking to the slender figure in a long dress.

The figure stood up, its shadow enlarged, and approached the curtain.

The next moment the curtain opened, and the elegant and bright Shiqin appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Guided by the waiter, Shi Qin walked to the owner of the castle and his guests.

Maybe...... Can you try to get close to that woman in this way?

No matter what action you want to take in the future, it's always right to get closer and gather more information for your decision.

Anyway, there are a lot of trust points now.

Conventional Art – Conventional Instruments – Piano Performance

To the master, add!

Just as he was about to raise his feet and walk towards the piano, which was no longer empty, a clear and gentle man's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Wei Yan, how about we go for a dance?"

A tall man in a tuxedo walked over, it was the young man who had a burning gaze at Wei Yan before.

You can see that there is a wide area in the middle of the field, and some men and women are already dancing ballroom dances.

The tuxedo man was followed by four men and women.

One of the girls said with a smile at Wei Yan.

"What are you doing here? Everybody's chatting over there......"

And the man who was very enthusiastic about Jiang Bai before also stood aside, and at this time he smiled at Jiang Bai and Guoguo, and sent out an invitation.

"Let's go together, shall we?"

"No thanks."

Jiang Bai decisively refused.

He didn't have time to play those dirty tricks with these people.

People who are not in the same world do not need to be forced to fit in.

Seeing Jiang Bai's refusal, Wei Yan also shook his head.

"It's okay, you guys play."

The man who came didn't force it, just glanced at Jiang Bai, and then shrugged his shoulders at Wei Yan.

"Whatever you want~"

Watching their backs leave, Wei Yan whispered to Jiang Bai.

"The people who can appear here tonight are all people with a good status in this city, it can be said that it is one out of ten of the future of the city, and it will be good for you to know more people in the future...... Even if it's familiar. ”

"Hmm~ Thank you."

Whether Wei Yan took such care of them out of pity or not, it was a love that was difficult to repay, and Jiang Bai remembered it in his heart.

So in return......

"I'll send you something."

"Huh?"

Wei Yan's face was full of confusion.

Jiang Bai is empty-handed, still on someone else's territory, what kind of gift can he have.

Jiang Bai smiled slightly, didn't explain, and walked directly to the piano.

……

The few people who left whispered.

"What's the name of those two people?"

"I don't know......"

"Mingcheng, didn't you say hello to people?"

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses smiled brightly.

"How can I remember ......"

"Look...... Why did he go? ”

"Are you going to find the bathroom?"

"He seems to be heading straight for that piano?"

"He's sitting up?"

"What is he doing? Who does he think he is? ”

"Clown ......"
