Chapter 63 Members of the Party
"Hi, I'm John Watson." Di Renjie stretched out a hand and shook it with the hand of the young man in front of him.

"Hi, I'm Patrick."

After the newly met two briefly introduced themselves, the three simply found a seat in the living room to sit down and chat, and waited for the follow-up members by the way.

According to the content of their chat and Mrs. Stubbs' introduction, Di Renjie learned that this young man named Patrick is a Spaniard and he is 22 years old this year.

He has a typical Mediterranean appearance, with slightly yellowish skin, which is a sign of sunbathing on the beach; he has a handsome face, black hair, deep eyes, slender eyebrows, plump lips, a fit body, more agile eyes, and a voice. It is full of youthful vitality.

After gathering all the above characteristics, it is not difficult to guess the young man's occupation.In fact, Patrick is an entertainer in a repertory theater, also plays a part-time musician in a band, and sometimes acts as a model in some magazines and advertisements.

So in Di Renjie's view, Patrick is a person without a serious job.

Although his own current situation is not much better.

In the 19th century, the entertainment industry was in the ascendant, and technologies such as radio and film had only recently appeared, and Hollywood, whose reputation spread throughout later generations, was still just a green and yellow farmland. The entertainment and cultural center of this era was still in France, and it was still in Paris.

But Patrick still travels thousands of miles, from Madrid to faraway London, and pursues his dream of performing arts circle in this foreign land. Of course, there are good reasons for this—although London in this era is far more culturally and artistically than Not Paris, but she still has her own treasure to be proud of, and that is drama.

Although London's artistic level is inferior to that of the European continent in various fields, it still has an unshakable position in the field of drama performance, which is the precious legacy left by Shakespeare, the god of drama in Europe.

Patrick, who loved drama since he was a child, came to London because of this. He showed extraordinary talent in the theater, whether it was performance or voice, he won the love of the audience, including Mrs. Stubbs.

Patrick did not live up to this love. Apart from acting, he also showed great talent in the field of drama literature and vocal music research, so Mrs. Stubbs introduced him to a friend of hers, and the latter also Leading him on the extraordinary path of the Eternal Balance Path.

However, since the afterglow of sublimation used by Patrick belongs to Mrs. Stubbs, although he has another teacher, he still belongs to the Butter Milk Owl Party in terms of organizational ownership, which makes him often need to be in between two parties. run.

As for strength, although he joined the club more than three years earlier, he is still at the first level at this time. Di Renjie is embarrassed to ask at what stage he is at.

This is obviously not very polite, especially if he reveals the fact that he has risen from an ordinary person to the second level in less than a month, it will be even more impolite.

After a few people chatted briefly, a newcomer came to the villa again.

This time, two people came here in one breath. One is about 33 years old, with a capable figure, wearing a leather jacket, and has a mustache above his mouth; the other is elegant and refined, wearing a gold silk round frame Glasses.

Under the introduction of Mrs. Stubbs, Di Renjie learned that this gentleman wearing a leather jacket, named Richard, is a second-level transcendent, and also a well-known naturalist and geologist. He is a scientist who has made great achievements in biogeography. He has been working in the Geological Survey of India for the past few years. He returned to London this year because of his father's death. Cause, join the buttermilk owl party.

The gentleman wearing gold-rimmed glasses is named Joseph, 25 years old, Scottish.Although this gentleman is young, he is a real genius. He was admitted to the engineering major of Owen College in Manchester when he was less than 14 years old. Later, he went to Trinity College of Cambridge University for further study. After graduation, he stayed at Cambridge University as a lecturer and researcher. , Then he made great strides in both the academic and professional fields. According to the gossip that Patrick learned, there have been rumors that Joseph is expected to be the next Professor Cavendish in Cambridge University.

The so-called Professor Cavendish is the head of the Cavendish Laboratory, and the Cavendish Laboratory is the first socialized and professionalized scientific laboratory in the history of science, established by the legendary scholar Maxwell; He is concurrently the Head of the Department of Physics at the University of Cambridge.

Such a young genius is still at the first level... But according to what Mrs. Stubbs said, it is only a matter of time before the other party enters the third level. Even many senior officials in the Golden Dawn Association think that he has a chance Become a new member of the Council of Sages.

[So, if I haven’t broken through the first level for several years, I can be considered to have the potential to become a sage, so I have gone from an ordinary person to the second level in this month...] Joseph obviously put some pressure on Di Renjie, It's just that the direction of this pressure is really weird.

After the two sat down, Angelina finally arrived.

She first apologized to Mrs. Stubbs, then nodded to Di Renjie, and finally greeted the other members.

"Now that everyone is here, let's start." Mrs. Stubbs led everyone into the reception room of the villa.

In the reception room, there are several sofas and chairs around the central coffee table. Some drinks and snacks are prepared on the coffee table and some small tables. What a difference.

The meeting process is divided into three parts. In the first part, the organizer announces the latest notice from the top of the Golden Dawn Association. In addition, in the middle of each month, there will be an additional process of distributing the latest publications of the three major periodicals of the association;

Since the Golden Dawn Association has three prophets, there are also three main factions within the entire association. The insiders of the association call it the three major branches. They are the mysterious branch founded by Prophet Flamel and the arcane branch founded by Prophet Isaac. and the Wise Branch founded by the Prophet Immanuel.

The three major branches all have their own academic journals, which are published once a month to disseminate the latest research results of the three major branches to the members of the association for free. This is obviously a good benefit for the members of the association.

As for those who contribute research results, they can also be rewarded by the association, but this is still secondary. What is really important is that for the transcendent of the Eternal Balance Path, whether it is the third level to the fourth level or the fourth level to the fifth level , It is an essential link to let your theories and ideas be accepted by more people. This is the greatest value you can get from getting your articles published in the three major journals.

The second part is the organizer's question-and-answer session. Before this part was in charge of Mr. Charles, Di Renjie could probably imagine what it would be like, but now that the person in charge is replaced by Mrs. Stubbs, he couldn't help guessing that he would Won't learn some culinary knowledge that Mrs. Hudson can only dream of?
The third part is a free communication session. Party members can share their research results or experiences while enjoying food, sometimes accompanied by some internal transactions.

"Then next, I will replace Mr. Charles and read out the latest announcement of the association and this gathering." Seeing that everyone was seated one by one, Mrs. Stubbs pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose and said solemnly:

"First of all, although everyone has just met each other, please raise your glass to celebrate the joining of the new member Mr. John Watson at this time."

"My dear Watson."

"Dear Watson..."
