037 Whose salon does Snow attend to ?

 August 22nd, Wednesday, at 15:00 in the afternoon, the weather was hazy.

  Snow took the invitation sent to his home by Mrs. Norma yesterday, and came to this luxurious villa in Queens.

  As a territorial noble who inherited the title at a young age due to his father's early death, Viscount Grelint can almost be said to be the social core of the younger generation of nobles.

  It's not that everyone likes him, it's just that he is the only one who is qualified to hold various salons and dances as he pleases.

  The balls held by ordinary noble children are either out of political considerations of their parents, or they are formal places based on social needs. As for the receptions of middle-aged nobles, they are full of all kinds of restraints.

  In this way, the mansion of the Viscount Grelint has almost become a gathering place for the ancestors(kid) of Backlund , which has led to many professions such as writers, painters, designers, etc. relying on the existence of the upper class. Talented but inexperienced young practitioners all regard Viscount Grelint's salon as a ladder for promotion, and as long as they are favored by a certain nobleman, they will immediately rise to the top.

  And these talented and handsome young people have attracted many aristocrats who are interested in the industry, and even have a lot of investment and business cooperation and profitable projects.

  This feels a bit like a virtuous circle in which high-end clubs attract high-end consumers, high-quality artisans who want to climb high and have enough capital, and then attract more wealthy tea tasters.

  Today, there are especially many guests here.

  Relying on his extremely handsome face, the person in charge of the reception at the door let him in without even checking the invitation card, which made Snow suddenly have a sense of sight that "beautiful girls and boys can enter high-end bars for free". .

  Of course, he doesn't care about this kind of convenience. Although on the surface, it seems that he has accepted favors for nothing, but sometimes, it is more beneficial to socialize to owe favors.

  "Little Snow, are you here?" Due to well-known reasons, Mrs. Mano, who did not come with Snow, had already arrived first. When she saw Snow, she immediately walked over with small steps, and then introduced him with a smile to an acquainted noble lady.

  Snow's predecessor had considerable experience in this kind of social occasion, and it didn't take long for him to get rid of the embarrassment of being an "outsider"——

  Of course, this itself is also related to many acquaintances present.

  Walking around in the spacious banquet hall, holding a glass of low-alcohol wine from time to time, chatting with the wives and ladies who came together, although jojo has just started serialization at this time, his reputation as a "writer" is far from that of an attractive one. The degree of people's attention, but who made him handsome?

  Walking to a long table, he went to a pastry that looked very delicate. Snow patrolled the banquet hall while eating. Even counting those fashion designers, jewelry designers, painters, and novel writers, Snow actually has a 30% familiarity rate.

  And this familiarity rate is basically equal to Snow's customer list.

  Secretly advanced the Extraordinary ability of Sequence Seven, and let himself fall into the state of "no one can see through". On the one hand, he can avoid the attention of "spectators" or other Extraordinary people who may exist in this banquet hall, and on the other hand, he can better To cover up the fluctuations caused by the release of his extraordinary ability.

  After doing all this, Snow took a step towards a few ladies who looked familiar but didn't know him.

  The lady was half leaning in the corner at this time, sipping a glass of cocktail lazily, her fingertips showed a little smoky trace, her hair was fluffy and slightly curly, her light blue eyes lacked focus, giving people a kind of Dissociated from the outside world, but it seems to be waiting for someone.

  "Um, this 'A Kodak that Nobody Can See Through' also comes with a 'Marsh Leaping Fish that Anyone Can See Through'?" Snow complained about his advance ability. Potion advanced career? Even if only a little passive skill is borrowed, it still comes with outstanding observation ability.

  Handing the plate in his hand to the passing waiter, Snow walked in front of the lady with unhurried steps, showed an amiable smile and said:

  "This beautiful lady, my name is Snow, Snow von Penradax, is it convenient for me to meet you?"

  Regarding this man who suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, Fors frowned slightly. Although the man was indeed very attractive and behaved very politely, but for some reason, there was a kind of "lack of actual impression" at first glance. The feeling, in simple terms, is that as long as you look away, you will soon forget what he looks like.

  Although she didn't really want to speak, Fors also understood that this kind of literary salon should not be too cold, especially when she couldn't list every guest's name.

  Viscount Glaint can help her get Xio out, but the person in front of him may not be able to get him in.

  "Really, why does Miss Audrey insist on communicating on this occasion! Is there something that made that dog...well, that Extraordinary creature that looks like a dog not communicate well?"

  Forsi complained silently in her heart, but she still squeezed out a smile and said:

  "Hello, Mr. Snow, I am Fors, Fors Wall."

  "It turned out to be Senior Fors. Your "Storm Mountain Villa" has impressed me so far. I happen to have a novel that is being serialized in the Tussoke newspaper. I wonder if I can share it with you?"

  In fact, Snow was a little socially phobic in his previous life, but who made his previous life a social cow syndrome?(???)

  "Tasoke Newspaper? I remember there was a novel whose author was named Snow, and Hugh seemed to like it quite a bit... It seems to be called "Phantom Blood"?"

  Fors thought with some headaches that although he had already confirmed that the other party was not an aristocrat, it was not appropriate to put on a cold face at this time, so he could only pull himself together, put on a social expression, and began to lean on his mouth I overheard the awkward chat with Snow.

  But Snow also knew the truth that too much was too late, left a slight impression, and left with a smile. Seeing this handsome guy turn around and leave, Forsi was slightly relieved, but she hadn't waited for her to return to that lazy and leisurely look. The appearance, a figure stepped into the banquet hall.

  At this moment, the voices in the banquet hall paused for a moment. As Baekeland's most dazzling jewel, this lady is undoubtedly the most noble guest in today's salon.

  However, Miss Audrey, who has been in and out of various social occasions since she was a child, obviously knows how to integrate herself into the social environment. After a while, the "turmoil" caused by her arrival has been calmed down, but no one seems to notice. After a handsome guy passed by, her expression seemed to be more "sincere".

  From this moment on, any audience can only read the information they want to see from Miss Justice.(Means that any spector thinks audrey is ugly the she will look ugly to him/her

.Anyone thinks she is perfect then she will look perfect to him/her.)
