Chapter 278 Ball (2 in 1)

Bai Xiaowen was a little stunned for a while, but then reacted.

This little widow... is flirting with me?

Li Shuyi squeezed over: "I have it! Xiao... My brother's dance partner is me!"

Cecilia smiled slightly: "Charlotte, this is not good. I know that you and your brother have a deep relationship, but they must always have their own lives. Among the knights under my command, there are several young and handsome. Boy, you can choose one of them to be your dance partner tonight."

Cecilia waved her hand: "Tim, Marco, Phil! You three come here..."

Three handsome white-armored knights walked side by side and saluted the two lords.

"Tonight at the ball at Black Rock Fortress, choose one of you to accompany Miss Charlotte." White Rose Cecilia said briefly.

The three knights looked at Li Shuyi with eagerness in their eyes.

The rules of the spiritual world will change the appearance of the awakened person, but it is still based on the original appearance, so Bai Xiaowen's current image is a handsome Nordic guy with three-dimensional features and deep eyes, but he can't see it with a cloak wizard robe; And Li Shuyi's image is also a beautiful Nordic girl.

After ruling the red leaf collar, Li Shuyi's original maid's attire, which was transformed by default, was somewhat inconsistent. With Bai Xiaowen's reminder, she spent 100 power points to change a tight hunting suit for a noble lady, and she was full of heroic spirit. It is also charming and attractive to the knights under Cecilia's command, needless to say.

Once again, this kind of illusion costume only takes effect in the eyes of the characters in the spiritual world. In the eyes of Bai Xiaowen, who is also an awakened person, he still sees the image of Li Shuyi wearing a snow-white kendo robe and a dazzling cloak.

After dispatching three wingmen, Cecilia continued to attack her target: "What's the matter, Baron Dior? Are you going to decline an unsolicited invitation from a lady?"

Bai Xiaowen glanced at Li Shuyi. Li Shuyi looked over with a half-smile.

Bai Xiaowen definitely didn't want Li Shuyi to be someone else's dance partner. Even though he knew that nothing would happen, he was unhappy.

Pushing himself to others... It is estimated that Li Shuyi would not be happy for him to accept Cecilia's invitation.

"Ms Cecilia, I really can't..."

If you offend people, you should offend people. When Bai Xiaowen was about to refuse, Li Shuyi suddenly interrupted:

"Brother, I'm not feeling well today, so I won't go to the dance. Go and accompany Ms. Cecilia and have a good time."

Bai Xiaowen was a little stunned, looked at Li Shuyi, and found that she showed a mysterious smile...

Bai Xiaowen responded quickly and immediately continued: "It seems that I can't refuse an invitation from a beautiful lady. It's an honor to be your dance partner, Ms. Cecilia."

Cecilia looked at Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi carefully and looked suspicious, but didn't say anything, just nodded and said, "Okay, see you at the dance."

The three white armored knights were rejected by Li Shuyi, and they were all a little disappointed, and followed the female lord Cecilia and left.

After the group walked away, Kitts whistled softly:

"Lord Boss, it seems that White Rose is very interesting to you. The fief she inherited is adjacent to the Red Leaf Territory. If the boss can take her down and the two marry, hehe... The fief can more than double."

"Don't say what you shouldn't say, hurry up and train the recruits!" Bai Xiaowen said with a stern face.

Kitts shrank his head, and the few soldiers of the White Stone Army who were probing their brains were all scattered.

In the tent, only Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi were left.

"There was a message just now that Cecilia and I's favorability level has been raised to friends," Bai Xiaowen explained with a wink, "If I refuse... it's not going to turn against each other, but the favorability level is estimated to drop to normal. ."

"Okay, don't look for these reasons..." Li Shuyi smiled, "You, you just want to agree, right?"

Bai Xiaowen quickly denied: "Of course not, I only have you in my heart!"

Li Shuyi held back her smile,

The green fingertips poked Bai Xiaowen's heart.

"Okay, don't say this kind of cheating on little girls. Mom and two aunts have said that you can't look too hard at men. We still have a long way to go in the future, I don't ask you to be the only one in your heart... "

Bai Xiaowen was both moved and happy when he heard it, but he was not entangled. Li Shuyi has said this, and it is hypocritical to tangle again. Moreover, the general background of the psionic energy era is like this. It is common for male awakened strong men to have multiple wives (not in the legal sense), such as Taishan Li Beihai...

"...But, I must be the one with the most weight in your heart." Li Shuyi added.

Bai Xiaowen nodded.

"Also, you can't choose what to eat, and bring any woman home," Li Shuyi remembered, "like Liang Zitong, Zhao Yuting, etc., you can't ask for any of them! I don't have high expectations for you, but I don’t want to keep fighting all day long, and the house is restless.”

Bai Xiaowen continued to nod. He was a little surprised, shouldn't a little girl of Li Shuyi's age be the most protective of food? A freshman girl in another time and space, not to mention stepping on two boats, even if she looks at other girls more often, she will be jealous and make a scene.

Bai Xiaowen then thought that this should be due to the background. Girls in the psionic age must have different ideas from girls in another time and space. It cannot be generalized. After all, the times are different-in feudal society, the wife also took the initiative to give to the husband. What about concubines?

The age of psionic power is a society of the strong, and the so-called equality is only relative. It is unrealistic to make the awakened and ordinary people equal, and it is unrealistic to make the top strong and the bottom awakened equal.

Li Shuyi grew up in a family environment of one husband and three wives, and she was familiar with her since she was a child. It is normal for her to have a high degree of acceptance in this regard.

Black Rock Fortress at night.

Bai Xiaowen, dressed in a lord costume, entered the ball venue hand in hand with the white rose Cecilia.

Usually the black robe and cloak covered his face, but now he has changed into the lord's costume, fully showing Bai Xiaowen's good looks. Cecilia on the side often peeked at Bai Xiaowen's side face when she pretended to be casual, while Bai Xiaowen looked ahead and kept smiling.

In fact, his mental power opened up, and he had already sensed Cecilia's peeping, and his heart was dark, but he didn't show it for the purpose of pretending to be a force.

"Haha, who did I see? Baron Dior!"

"A toast to our great hero, Baron Dior!"

Well-dressed nobles came over to greet Bai Xiaowen one after another, and some even brought their daughters and wives to meet Bai Xiaowen.

These noble ladies and noble ladies, through different channels, have heard about the story of Bai Xiaowen killing the commander of the vanguard army of the remnant, and it is the rumor that different versions have been beautified, and their eyes are naturally shining when they look at Bai Xiaowen.

There are also weak girls holding their chests, looking like they may faint at any time.

"You are more popular than I thought, enjoy this moment, the hero of mankind." Cecilia said softly, "There may be some delicate noble lady who will secretly hand you a handkerchief. "

"Actually, I'm not interested in delicate women." Bai Xiaowen smiled.

Cecilia's figure was a little stiff, she seemed to understand the meaning of Bai Xiaowen's words, and a faint blush appeared on her face.

But after all, it is a leader-level powerhouse of the all-powerful side. Cecilia just showed her shyness for a moment, and then returned to normal, smiling:

"It can be seen that your sister Charlotte is a brave girl who dares to swing her sword at the orc warlord Kelman. I like her very much. However, the custom of the noble circle of the Plantage Empire has always been to like the delicate A noble lady. It shows the chivalrous spirit of those sissies."

Bai Xiaowen secretly pointed around and said quietly, "It doesn't seem to be all right... I see that many people are paying attention to you, Ms. White Rose."

When they saw Bai Xiaowen beside him, Cecilia was actually holding his arm, many northern lords showed expressions of surprise and envy.

"They? Hehe, I just think that conquering me can bring them the capital to brag about." Cecilia said disdainfully, then looked at Bai Xiaowen, and suddenly changed a charming expression:

"And as for you, Baron Dior? Do you think the same way?"

"If I say no, it would be too rude to a beautiful lady," Bai Xiaowen said solemnly, "You are like the moon in the night sky and the rose in the rain. As long as you are a man, you can't resist your charm."

Cecilia put away her charming smile: "Compared to others, your sweet words are nothing new, Dio."

"I've always been an action guy, Cecilia."

This flattery seems to have hit the horse's leg, but in fact the effect is still good, calling the name directly is a kind of progress.

Prince Nicholas' voice sounded, announcing the beginning of the dance.

The long accordion music sounded, accompanied by a soothing melody, a pair of noble men and women spun gently on the dance floor.

Bai Xiaowen was a little embarrassed. The memory of the young lord he inherited obviously didn't include picking up girls and dancing. While dancing, his figure was as rigid as a bag of wet cement.

Cecilia put her arms around Bai Xiaowen's neck, exhaled like blue, and said softly, "You don't seem to be very good at dancing, Dior."

"A little bit." Bai Xiaowen said.

"I've heard of your romance, and your performance doesn't match the rumors," Cecilia's eyes flashed with a special light, "I haven't danced for a long time, are you unfamiliar?"

Bai Xiaowen's mouth twitched, and a smile appeared: "No, you are too attractive, Cecilia. You have given me a feeling of tension and restraint that I have never had before."

In fact, after the initial rustling, with Bai Xiaowen's memory, he easily remembered this simple slow dance routine, and gradually became proficient a lot.

After the dance, while resting on the side of the venue, groups of nobles began to discuss the war. For Prince Nicholas to hold this dance, it is not as simple as dancing. There must be a charter for how to deal with the upcoming remnant power.

Prince Nicholas did not dance, he sat on the main seat, a group of nobles wearing lord costumes surrounded him, bursts of laughter and laughter continued.

"This victory has thwarted the spirit of those beasts, and His Royal Highness has made a great contribution."

"Yeah, this victory sets the tone for the war, and we will win."

"As long as there is the leadership of His Royal Highness, the combined army will never fail."

Prince Nicholas said with a smile: "If there is no magical technique performed by Archbishop Arlo's clergy, the outcome of this war is still unpredictable."

When Bai Xiaowen heard this, he quickly asked, "Is Archbishop Arlo here?" This is also an important figure, and his status is probably not inferior to Nicholas.

Nicholas shook his head and said, "Archbishop Arlo and the Holy Light Priesthood have exhausted their strength in today's battle and are resting. Besides, our kind of dance is not suitable for clergy to participate."

A tall nobleman came over: "Hey, Baron Dior, I heard that you performed well in this battle and are a hero of the Union Army. What do you think of this war?"

Bai Xiaowen glanced at him. Cecilia introduced softly: "This is Earl Denton, the commander of the First Infantry Phalanx."

Earl, the title is not low. From the fluctuation of psionic particles, Bai Xiaowen can perceive without insight that this is a leader-level powerhouse.

"My opinion... may be a little different from everyone here." Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"Huh?" someone asked suspiciously. "Our opinion? We think the war will be won, don't you think?"

Not long after entering the venue, Bai Xiaowen discovered that the entire Black Rock Fortress was filled with an optimistic attitude towards war. Just chatting with a few nobles, they all thought that the arrival of the main force of the Remnant Allied Army was just a repeat of today's scene.

It is not surprising that the short-sighted and hedonistic nobles think so. But Nicholas, do you really think so too?

Nicholas knew the seriousness of the Necro plague event.

Bai Xiaowen quickly figured out the joints, and facing the questioning eyes of everyone, he said slowly: "The main force of the Allied Forces of the Sinners is completely different from the vanguard. When facing the vanguard, we have not seen it before. Have you reached the fighting power of those beasts? The lives of four or five human soldiers may not be able to replace one of the other! Why do you still think this battle will be won?"

"...Baron Dior, you are too pessimistic!" Earl Denton's face sank, "The individual strength of the Remnant Alliance is strong, but our advantage is even greater!"

The few nobles who had been silent just now spoke up one after another.

"Yes, we have Archbishop Arlo's Holy Light clergy, and more Forbidden Spells! Clean up those beasts!"

"We are on the defensive side of the city. We have strong city walls, trebuchets, and crossbows. What do those beasts have?"

"We are backed by the empire and have endless support! What about the rear of the Allied People's Army? It's just a desert!"

Bai Xiaowen calmly watched these people boast, but he did not change his caliber, and said loudly: "My opinion remains the same, the main force of the Remnant Allied Forces may be stronger than everyone here imagined! If you are still obsessed with winning the war, In fantasy, if we don’t want to face reality, our already low odds will shrink further. Wake up, gentlemen!”
