After saying hello and shaking hands with Aiwass, Allen turned his eyes to Lily behind Aiwass: "I think this is Miss Lily, right? Do you want to join our club too?"

"……Huh?"

Lily let out a light sigh, a little confused. But anyway, she politely returned the gesture to Allen.

But Aiwass suddenly understood why he was so polite to himself and Lily.

In order to confirm his thoughts, Aiwass asked for her: "Do you also know Lily?"

"Of course. I think the news about Your Highness Isabel entertaining the two of you last night has spread throughout the capital."

The corners of Allen's mouth raised in a rare move, and a faint smile appeared on his always stern face: "I remember that Master Yanis participated in that banquet... After that, His Highness went to Luoning Street. The key to No. 14 is given to you."

He obviously rarely smiled, so the last time he smiled he looked unusually stiff, and his originally handsome face now looked exaggerated and a little funny.

Lily couldn't help but think of the old butler Oswald - his smile was also so stiff and scary, so Lily couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly. If he hadn't pursed his lips, he would have laughed out loud.

After hearing this, Angela looked at Aiwass and then Isabel in surprise.

She seemed to suddenly understand something and suddenly understood.

Angela reached out her hand and gently pulled Aiden's clothes. It took Aiden two pulls to react, but he glanced at Aiwass with some hesitation, and then silently shook his head at her.

The blue-haired girl glared at him angrily, and then tugged at the corner of his clothes. And Aiden still didn't respond.

Anyway, I have told President Allen before that they are the introducers...

Angela thought so, and simply took the other person and left first. She couldn't wait to share the big melon she just ate with other students - no wonder Her Highness Isabel came to Aiwass specially!

Only Aiden was left waiting in place, which was a bit out of place with the atmosphere in which several people were communicating at the moment. Because he was the only one who really needed help from Aiwass.

Isabel, who had been thinking hard for a long time, finally remembered Allen's identity: "I have seen you... you are Carter's son."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Allen was a little surprised that Isabel recognized him, but he still replied respectfully: "The last time I saw you was about ten years ago. Your memory is still so outstanding."

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Allen."

Isabel also uses "Sir" to address the other person's identity.

Immediately, she came over, leaned over slightly and whispered in Aiwass's ear: "He is the son of the Minister of Law, he should know that we... also have painting matters."

No wonder he knew me and Lily, and no wonder he called me "sir" instead of "classmate". Aiwass thought.

In other words, Allen didn't actually know Lily. But he knew that the personal maid Aiwass brought to the royal banquet was named Lily.

...However, there is nothing shameful about our relationship, right? There is no need to be so quiet...

While they were whispering, President Allen opened the drawer and handed over three badges and placed them on the counter. He did not contact Aiwass and the others directly, but kept a distance.

"I will ask someone to reissue the membership documents for the three of you later. Don't worry about the membership fee. I will send the dues invoice to your house together with the membership book later. Please feel free to find a place to sit."

Allen smiled, showed a friendly smile, and said smoothly: "If you want to drink any drinks, you can order them here. We will have someone send them over right away - here is the drink list, and here is the snack list There is also a copy in the single room and table on the second floor. If you have any new requirements, you can ask the students who deliver the meals. These things are free, and the cost is included in the annual membership fee. You can feel free to do so. Please feel free to take it.

"Also, if you see any advertisements or flyers on the table, please don't pay attention. We do not prohibit members from personal promotion."

This half-elf president is weak and powerless, but he obviously has a lot of eyes.

That is a completely different style from Haina who is also the chief.

He knew that Aiwass and Isabel suddenly joined the White Shoes Club because someone must have invited them or they were planning to do something. Therefore, Allen did not come over to please them or ask them what they were going to do.

Instead, we are trying to save their time as much as possible, intending to skip all unnecessary processes as a show of goodwill, and not ask what they are 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 Isabel, who was extremely sensitive, had no special reaction.

Isabel walked over, picked up the three badges on the table, and handed them to Aiwass and Lily respectively.

Allen explained: "This badge is the identity certificate of our members. When you come here in the future, no one will stop you. It is also an extraordinary piece of equipment. If you accidentally slip, it can help you You won’t get hurt or get your clothes dirty.”

That badge looks nice and is made of white crystal.

It is a white isosceles inverted triangle with rounded edges and corners, slightly tall and thin, somewhat like a slightly square, upside-down water drop. There are also shallow concave marks crisscrossing like fishing nets.

A bit like the marks on a steak.

... Did you get the official member badge directly?

It's a bit cool.

Aiwass took it calmly.

A curtain of light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes:

【Crystal Dance Shoes】

[Extraordinary Accessories (Blue)]

[Jewelry-Badge]

[Spell: Regroup (once a day, 1/1)]

[Required: any 1]

[Instant, contact, effective immediately]

["——I may be able to save you once when you fall, but I can't do anything if you fall."]

Although it doesn't mean much to Aiwass, who is racing in a wheelchair today, it is a good thing for Lily and Isabel.

This is the "badge" part of the jewelry that is easiest for players to obtain during the early mission process in the game.

The equipment in this part of the badge is very rare, and it is usually the identity certificate of a certain transcendent organization.

Compared with rings, necklaces, and bracelets, badges have one biggest drawback—that is, they do not directly contact the skin.

This results in the user having to touch it with their fingers 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 usually only have a small amount of mana, so that energy can be injected instantly to complete the release. And when the design energy consumption is limited, the effect must be poor.

The greatest significance of this kind of extraordinary equipment with complex technology, expensive materials, and weak effects is to increase the cost of counterfeiting by others through this complicated alchemy process.

But not all organizations’ identification certificates are badges that can be worn openly. For example, the identity symbol of the Noble Red Society is a ring that is more discreet, more practical, and easier to use.

Due to the influence of the "balanced" path, only one piece of each type of equipment can be worn at the same time. Therefore, a badge with practical effects is even rarer.

For organizations such as the "White Shoes Club", you need to increase your reputation to be friendly before you can open the reputation store to purchase it. Many players who have reached level 30 or 40 still only have "Crystal Dancing Shoes" available.

Because the badges dropped in the dungeon are usually not as useful as this one.

The spell "Regroup" is the most entry-level legal spell on the authoritarian path. It is a very practical low-level spell, and it is of the type that is a bit of a pity for a legal practitioner. Its effect is that when you are unbalanced, staggered or fell, you can immediately remove the external force on yourself and restore your center of gravity, thus quickly returning to normal posture.

For example, if someone throws you over your shoulder, or you step on something slippery, or if you fail to block and lose your center of gravity, this spell can be triggered immediately to save your life or even kill you.

It is a very classic and practical free control 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 it's also referring to the nature of the organization "The White Shoes Club."

The club seems to be an alumni association, but it is actually a relatively loose political association.

If you cause some minor trouble, everyone can help solve it and share some resources; but if something big happens, the club will definitely not help you.

——Issuing a cutting statement in advance when joining the membership is a yes.

Seeing that the three Aiwass finally completed the process and successfully joined the club, Aiden finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Please come with me, Aiwass... please!"

He quickly clasped his hands together and sincerely requested: "She should be on the second floor... Just like they said on the road, please tell me something! Thank you Aiwass! To tell you the truth, after class in the afternoon, I forgot everything you said this morning!"

When they were on the way after class, Aiden had already explained to Aiwass what happened there.

Although his embarrassing gesture of asking for off-field assistance was unanimously ridiculed by his classmates, they also expressed their blessings that Aiden "finally found someone he likes."

Isabel was also a little hesitant because she also wanted to go with Aiwass. But I'm not sure if I will cause any trouble.

Taking a princess who could die suddenly at any time to meet a stranger she has never met before is too much pressure.

"You stay here first," Aiwass advised gently, "I'll help Aiden deal with his emotional problems first..."

Mainly because he wanted to see what kind of bad woman Aiden got into trouble with this time. Is it the one he remembers?

Isabel also breathed a sigh of relief and agreed.

Contact with strangers is also difficult for her.

But just as they were about to part ways for the time being, their conversation was suddenly interrupted by the crowd's exclamations and the sudden cessation of the sound of the violin. Let them look at it at the same time.

I saw someone struggling and falling from the railing on the second floor.

They were not students of similar age to Aiwass and the others, but rather a somewhat balding middle-aged man holding documents in his hands, wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

The man fell heavily, but did not utter a cry of surprise. There was just a muffled sound from his body, and the papers in his hand fell to the ground like snow.

It was obviously only the second floor, but this man just made a whining sound, his whole body twitched violently for a few times, and then stopped moving. Black blood slowly overflowed from between his mouth and nose, and a very small and thin dark golden dagger was stuck in his back.

That thing looked more like a needle than a dagger. It's about the same size as a nail file, and it doesn't even have a handle.

It easily pierced the clothes and penetrated into the middle-aged deceased's back.

Aiwass frowned and suddenly raised his head to look at the second floor. But no suspicious person was seen.

Not quite right.

This was a plot that had never happened before in his memory of his previous life.

The key to the question is...what did Aiwass do that caused the plot to change?
