Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Body in the Club
After greeting and shaking hands with Ivus, Aaron turned his gaze to Lily behind Ivus: "I suppose this should be Miss Lily, right?" Do you want to join our club too? ”
“…… Hey? ”
Lily snorted, a little unclear. But anyway, she politely returned the salute to Aaron.
Ivus suddenly understood why he was so polite to himself and Lily.
To make sure of her thoughts, Ivus asked for her, "Do you know Lily, too?" ”
"Of course. Last night, Her Royal Highness Isabel entertained the two guests, and I think it has spread throughout the royal capital. ”
The corners of Aaron's mouth rarely rose, and a slight smile appeared on his always straight face: "I remember that the banquet was attended by Master Yanis...... After that, His Highness gave you the key to 14 Ronin Street. ”
He apparently rarely smiled, so it was rare for him to laugh at the fact that his face, which had been unusually stiff and handsome, had now become exaggerated and somewhat comical.
Lily couldn't help but think of the old butler Oswald—his smile was so stiff and terrifying, so Lily couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly. If you don't purse your lips, you're going to laugh out loud.
Hearing this, Angela looked at Ivas and then at Isabel in surprise.
It was as if she had suddenly figured out something, and it dawned on her.
Angie stretched out her hand and gently tugged at the corner of Aiden's clothes. It took Aiden twice to react, but he glanced at Eivas with some hesitation, and then shook his head at her silently.
The blue-haired girl glared at him hatefully, and tugged at the corner of his coat again. Aiden still didn't respond.
Anyway, I've already told President Aaron that they're introducers......
Thinking so, Angela simply pulled the other person and left. She couldn't wait to share the big melon she had just eaten with the rest of her classmates - no wonder Her Highness Isabel would come to find Ivas!
Only Aiden was left in place, which was a little out of place with the atmosphere of communication between several people at this moment. Because he was the only one who really had something to ask for Ivus's help.
And Isabel, who had been thinking hard for a long time, finally remembered Aaron's identity: "I've seen you...... You are Carter's son. ”
"Yes, Your Highness."
Alan was a little surprised that Isabel knew her, but she still replied respectfully, "The last time I saw you, it must have been about ten years ago. Your memory is still as good as it gets. ”
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Aaron."
Isabel also uses "sir" to address each other's identities.
Immediately, she leaned over, leaned over slightly, and whispered in Ivus's ear, "He is the son of the Minister of Law, and should know about us...... And the thing about painting. ”
It's no wonder that he knows himself and Lily, and that he calls me "sir" instead of "classmate". Ivus thought to himself.
Or rather, Aaron didn't actually know Lily as a person. But he knew that the valet that Ivas had brought to the royal banquet was called Lily.
…… However, there is nothing unpleasant about our relationship, right? It doesn't have to be so quiet......
As they whispered, President Allen pulled open a drawer and handed over three badges and placed them on the counter. He didn't make direct contact with Ivus and them, but kept his distance.
"I'll ask someone to reissue the membership documents for the three of them later. There is no need to worry about the membership fee, I will send the membership fee invoice to the house together with the membership book. Feel free to find a place to sit. ”
Aaron smiled, showed a friendly smile, and said smoothly: "If you have any drink you want to drink, you can order it here." We'll have people deliver it right away – here's the drink list, here's the snack list. There is also a copy on the private room and table on the second floor, and if there are any new requirements, you can also ask the students who deliver the meal. These things are free of charge, and the cost is included in the annual membership fee. Feel free to take it as you like, so please don't be polite.
Also, don't worry if you see any advertisements or flyers on the table. We do not prohibit members from making personal promotions. ”
This weak and powerless half-elf leader is obviously very eye-catching.
It was a very different style from Hayna, who was also the chief.
He knew that Ivas and Isabel had suddenly joined the White Shoes Club, and that someone had invited them or was planning to do something. So Aaron didn't come to them to curry favor with them or ask them what they were going to do.
Instead, try to save them as much time as possible, plan to skip all unnecessary processes as a gesture of goodwill, and don't ask them what they're doing here at all, so as to maintain a comfortable and safe social distance.
This way of doing things will indeed make people more comfortable. Even the unusually sensitive Isabel was not provoked any special reaction because of this.
Isabel walked over and picked up the three badges on the table and handed them to Ivas and Lily.
Aaron explained: "This badge is proof of identity for our members, and no one will stop you when you come in the future. It's also an awesome piece of equipment that will keep you from getting hurt or getting your clothes dirty if you slip and fall. ”
That badge looks great and is made of white crystal.
It is a rounded, slightly thin white isosceles inverted triangle, somewhat like a slightly squared, inverted water droplet. There are also shallow intaglinations crisscrossing it like fishing nets.
It's a bit like a seared mark on a steak.
…… Did you get the full membership badge directly?
It's kind of cool.
Ivus quietly took it.
A curtain of light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes:
【Crystal Dancing Shoes】
【Extraordinary Jewelry (Blue)】
【Jewelry-Badge】
[Spell: Regroup (once a day, 1/1)]
[Required: Any 1]
[Immediate, contact, effective immediately]
I may be able to save you once in a while when you fall, but if you fall, there is nothing I can do. ”】
While it doesn't mean much to Ivace, who is racing in a wheelchair like a car today, it's good for both Lily and Isabel.
This is the most easily obtainable accessory in the game, the "badge" part of the game.
The equipment in this part of the badge is very rare, and is usually the identification of an organization of the Transcendent.
The badge has one of the biggest drawbacks compared to rings, necklaces, bracelets and other parts - it does not come into direct contact with the skin.
This causes the user to have to touch it with their fingers in order to activate the spells stored inside. Therefore, it is much more troublesome than a ring.
Because this method of use is inconvenient to inject mana into it, the spells stored in the badge are usually only a little mana, so that they can be instantly injected to complete the release. And in the case of limited design energy consumption, the effect is bound to be poor.
The greatest significance of this kind of extraordinary equipment with complex processes, expensive materials, and weak effects is to increase the cost of counterfeiting for others through this complex alchemy process.
But not all organizations are identity badges that can be worn openly. For example, the identity symbol of the Noble Red Society is to wear a ring that is more hidden, more practical, and more convenient to use.
Due to the influence of the "Balanced" path, only one of each piece of equipment can be worn at the same time. Therefore, a badge with a practical effect is even rarer.
For example, the "White Shoes Club" has to bring prestige to friendliness before opening the prestige shop to buy it. Many players have reached level 30 or 40, and they still only have "crystal dancing shoes" to use.
Because the badges dropped in the dungeon are usually not as good as this one.
The spell "Regrouping" belongs to the most basic legal spell of the authoritarian path, and it is a very practical low-level spell, and it belongs to the type that is a pity for the lawyer. Its effect is that when you are out of balance, stumbling, or falling, you can immediately remove the external force on your body and restore your center of gravity, so as to quickly return to your normal posture.
For example, if someone falls over the shoulder, or steps on something slippery, or loses the center of gravity after failing to block, you can immediately trigger this spell to save your life or even counter-kill.
It is a very classic and practical free decontrol equipment in online games. But this can only be solved by soft control.
The message attached to this badge is also very meaningful.
It looks like it's talking about this piece of equipment...... But at the same time, it is also referring to the nature of the organization "White Shoes Club".
The club appears to be an alumni association, but it is actually a loosely structured political association.
If you get into some trouble, everyone can help solve it easily, or you can share some resources; But if something big happens, the club won't help you.
——When I joined the club, I issued a cutting statement in advance, which belongs to yes.
Seeing that the three of Ai Ivas had finally completed the process and successfully joined the club, Aiden was finally relieved.
"Please come with me, Evas...... Please! ”
He hurriedly folded his hands and pleaded sincerely, "She should be on the second floor...... As it said on the road, please help me talk about it! Thank you, Aihuas! I'll tell you the truth, after the afternoon class, I forgot all the things you talked about in the morning! ”
By the time they arrived after class, Aiden had already explained to Ivas what had happened on his side.
Although his embarrassed gesture of asking for help from the field was unanimously ridiculed by his classmates, they also expressed their blessings to Aiden for "finally finding someone he likes".
Isabel was also a little hesitant because she also wanted to go with Ivus. But I'm not sure if I'm going to cause trouble.
Taking a princess who may die at any moment to meet a stranger she has never seen before is too much pressure.
"You can stay here for now," Ivas gently advised, "I'll help Aiden deal with his relationship first......"
The main thing is that he wants to see what type of bad woman Aiden provoked this time. It's not the one he remembers.
Isabel was also relieved and agreed.
It was also quite difficult for her to come into contact with strangers.
But just as they were about to part for a while, the crowd's exclamations and the abruptly halted sound of violins interrupted their conversation. Let them look over at the same time.
I saw someone struggling and falling from the railing on the second floor.
It wasn't a student who was close to Ivas, but a middle-aged man with a document in his hand, gold-rimmed glasses, and a little bowed.
The man fell heavily, but did not let out an exclamation. There was a muffled sound in his body, and the papers in his hands were scattered all over the ground like snow.
It's obviously only the second floor, but this person just makes a whining sound and his whole body twitches violently a few times before he stops moving. Black blood slowly spilled from between his mouth and nose, and behind his back was a very small, extremely thin dark gold dagger.
It was more like a needle than a dagger. It's about the size of a nail clipper file, and it doesn't even have a handle.
It easily pierced the clothes and inserted them into the back of the heart of the middle-aged deceased.
Ivus frowned, and suddenly looked up at the second floor. But I didn't see any suspicious people.
A little off.
This is a plot that has never appeared in the memory of his previous life.
And the crux of the matter is...... What did Ivas do that caused the plot to change here?
