Wide and clean roads, gorgeous manors, cavalry passing by from time to time. This is the Dongcheng District of Laiyan City, and it is also the place where most aristocratic mansions are piled up.

Driving a little deeper into the city, a magnificent building suddenly appeared in a large manor. Shrouded in the night, like a creeping prehistoric behemoth, arrogant in all directions. Thick black stone walls, magnificent dark gold gate, above the gate hung an anchor-shaped sign, this is the Austen family castle.

Looking at the towering door wall, Don gasped and could not help rubbing his hands. It's really magnificent. Well, the defense force is also strict.

The latter's evaluation was made by the cold bows and crossbows and unknown metal pipes on the wall. fortunately, he did not need to climb over the wall this time. Dawn took out a gilded invitation card and handed it to a butler waiting in front of the car door.

The housekeeper took the invitation and opened it, then made a slight bow: "Ambrose?" Welcome, Mr. Pitt. Please! "

Dawn nodded and the carriage drove through the gate into the castle.

Ooh. Dawn picked his eyebrows and his eyes suddenly opened up. Squares, fountains, statues. Everything looks just right and beautiful.

The carriage stopped at one side of the square and Dawn walked slowly towards the main hall.

Hey, why do the people in front of you look a little familiar?

"Joshua?"

The woman in front wearing a floor pleated dress looked back in astonishment. With golden hair and a gentle face, it was Joshua that Tang Enxu had not seen for a long time.

"Hi, Becky!"

Then a woman in a fiery red dress trotted out behind Dawn and hugged Joshua.

Dawn curled the corners of his mouth, and the bitch also came.

"it's really you! I wasn't sure just now. I haven't seen you for a long time. " Becky grabbed Joshua's arm and said happily.

"well, yes, something has happened recently, so."

"is it because of Vincent. Well, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. " Becky stuck out her tongue.

"Vincent?" Joshua shook her head unconsciously. "Vincent is very sad." Forget it. Forget it. Let's have a good chat tonight. "

"all right, all right. You have no idea how bored I am these days. I have no one to play with me. Wow, the skirt is so beautiful and fluffy. Your figure is so good that I dare not wear it. "

"there are silver rings in it. It's very heavy."

Becky took Joshua by the hand, and as they walked in, they met and whispered, laughing from time to time.

Vincent? Don smacked his lips and then went into the hall.

The melodious sound of the violin, the clear sound of clinking glasses, a slightly noisy conversation. As soon as Don entered the hall, he felt warm and all kinds of voices came.

Such gatherings are common among aristocrats, and the difference is only a matter of size. Similar to the last time Dawn attended Vincent Manor, it was a small themed music party. Of course, tonight is undoubtedly a big party, this kind of party is a test of the comprehensive ability of the organizers. So to some extent, this is also a kind of showing off.

Dawn picked up a glass of wine, slowly marched through the crowd, and scanned the whole hall without a trace.

From time to time, it seems that you are attracted by a conversation and come close to listen.

From time to time, it is like meeting an acquaintance and raising his glass far away. In this case, naturally no one will refuse, and the person being signaled often smiles and raises his glass to drink lightly. Then after Dawn walked by, he searched crazily in his head. Who was that man just now? At which party did you meet?

Older people talk about current affairs, young people talk about the wind and the moon. Businessmen talk about trading and cooperation, women talk about gossip and interesting things. Probably!

Dawn also saw Joshua and Becky, who were surrounded by aristocratic youths, either elegant or calm, affectionate or playing hard to get. It's like peacocks with open screens, competing to show their beautiful feathers.

It is not surprising that there is such a phenomenon. It is said that a woman's intelligence is inversely proportional to her appearance, but this sentence is obviously not suitable for Joshua. Upright and youthful, bright and clean, and a noble and mysterious wizard, Joshua has the capital to make people so obsessed and crazy.

When Vincent pursued Joshua violently, these people thought they had little hope. But now that Vincent has been assassinated, Joshua has become an ownerless flower, and naturally everyone wants to be the guardian of the flower.

Becky is much more depressed than Joshua, who is surrounded by the crowd. Her best friend is surrounded by others, but for some family reasons, no one wants to get close to her now. At this time, had to drink alone with cheeks bulging angrily.

Not long after, Dawn had taken a stroll around the hall, with all kinds of entrances and exits in mind. At the same time, he also found that there was one thing that everyone talked about most tonight.

"good evening, Sir Paul."

"good evening, Monsignor Locke."

"Why, how come you haven't seen Victor lately?"

"you don't know? Something happened in his family. "

"well, you don't mean to be targeted by the aristocratic alliance, do you?"

"to be exact, it was targeted by the aristocratic alliance led by the Earl of Robert. The business that his family has been running for a long time is about to be knocked out. "

"Oh, poor Victor. Is there no way to stop this alliance? "

"it is difficult; if it were only the five viscount, the problem would be easily solved. But now the Robert family is taking the lead. Tut-tut, the strength is terrible. "

"then let them grow so strong?"

"No, what do you think the party is for tonight? I have heard that several vicomte chiefs have approached the Earl of Austen and want him to take the lead in forming an alliance against the aristocratic alliance. "

"Whoa. That's good. With the presence of the Austen family, we must be able to suppress the aristocratic alliance. "

"who knows, there has been no movement in this aristocratic alliance lately. I'm not at ease. I always think they're going to do something. "

"Locke, you're thinking too much. Maybe they stopped when they heard the news that the Austen family was going to come forward?"

"well, I hope so."

Similar conversations spread throughout the hall, and people were obviously afraid of the aristocratic alliance. Of course, it had nothing to do with Dawn, he just listened casually, and soon as he wandered around, he found an acquaintance.

On the right side of the hall, there is a long nanmu table, which is stocked with all kinds of delicacies, wine and exotic fruits, which guests can take at will.

At this time, a well-dressed, elegant young man was standing at the table, his hand on the table tapping at random, as if thinking about which food to choose.

For a moment, he snapped his fingers, leaned down, stretched out his right hand and took a platter of fruit.

Suddenly, he only felt that his left hand had been vigorously grasped, and a deep voice sounded in his ear: "Thief."

The young man's body trembled slightly, his left hand slipped and the cuff flashed.

The man who grabbed his left hand seemed to know what he was going to do, and a homeopathic pressure forced his cuff back, and then the young man felt a pain in his left wrist and could not help opening his hand, and the man standing behind him stepped back.

As soon as the young man Huo ran turned around, he saw a gloomy-looking middle-aged man looking at the silver spoon in his hand with interest, his face hooked and his nose very conspicuous.

"Tut-tut, you don't miss a spoon, Jack. You really look like a thief."

"that's sterling silver. Okay. Hey, you are. Arthur? " Jack said hesitantly.

"nonsense, who is it if it's not me?" Dawn rolled his eyes.

Jack's eyes kept sweeping across his face: "how much do we divide?"

"May five!" Dawn answered decisively.

"get out of here. Oh, my God, it's you! How did you do that? "

"Secret. Don't touch it, don't take my nose off. " Dawn slapped away Jack's paw that tried to touch his nose.

"how incredible! This camouflage is amazing! " Jack was amazed at the camouflage on Dawn's face. in fact, he had a layer of paint on his face and changed his hairstyle. However, in the eyes of professionals, flaws can be seen, such as Don just recognized him.

"come on, seriously, when will you start?"

Jack obviously had a plan and said without hesitation, "when count Austen comes out!" It's a little closer to the study, so let's go to the study first. If you don't go to the warehouse again. "

"well, then I'll observe the terrain."

"wait!"

"Hmm?"

"give me back my spoon first!"
