Chapter 279

Bai Xiaowen was a little confused for a moment, and then reacted.

The little widow... Is teasing me?

Li Shuyi squeezed over: "yes, yes! Xiao... My brother's partner is me!"

Cecilia smiled: "Charlotte, it's not good. I know you and your brother have deep feelings, but they always have to have their own lives. Among my knights, there are several young and handsome boys. You can choose one of them to be your partner tonight."

Cecilia waved, "Tim, mark and Phil! Come here..."

Three handsome white knights came side by side and saluted the two Lords.

"Choose one of you to accompany Miss Charlotte to the ball at BlackRock fortress tonight," white rose Cecilia said briefly.

The three Knights looked at Li Shuyi with eager light 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. Therefore, Bai Xiaowen's current image is a handsome Nordic man with three-dimensional facial features and deep eyes, but he can't see it in his cloak and wizard robe; The image of Li Shuyi is also a beautiful Nordic girl.

After ruling the red leaf collar, Li Shuyi's original maidservant dress of default illusion was somewhat inconsistent. Under the reminder of Bai Xiaowen, she spent 100 psionic points and changed a set of tight hunting clothes of noble ladies. She was charming in her vigorous spirit. It goes without saying that she was attractive to Cecilia's knights.

Once again, this kind of illusion dress only takes effect in the eyes of the plot characters in the spirit world. In the eyes of Bai Xiaowen, who is also an awakened person, what he sees is still the image of Li Shuyi wearing a snow-white Kendo robe and a shining cloak.

After sending three wingmen, Cecilia continued to attack her goal: "what's the matter, Baron Dior? Are you going to refuse a lady's offer?"

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

Bai Xiaowen certainly doesn't want Li Shuyi to be someone else's dance partner. Although he knows that nothing will happen, he is unhappy in his heart.

Push yourself and others... It is estimated that Li Shuyi is not willing to accept Cecilia's invitation.

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

If you offend others, offend them. 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 ball. Go with Ms. Cecilia and have a good time."

Bai Xiaowen looked at Li Shuyi in amazement and found that she showed a mysterious smile

Bai Xiaowen responded quickly and immediately added, "it seems that I can't refuse the invitation of a beautiful lady. I'm honored to be your partner, Ms. Cecilia."

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

The three white knights were rejected by Li Shuyi. They were all lost and left unhappily with the female Lord Cecilia.

After the group walked away, Kitts whistled softly:

"Lord boss, it seems that the white rose is very interesting to you. The fief she inherited is close to the red leaf collar. If the boss can take her and marry the two families, Hei hei... The fief can expand more than twice."

"Don't say what you shouldn't say. Hurry to practice the recruits!" Bai Xiaowen grimaced.

Kitts shrunk his head, and all the white stone soldiers next to him were scattered.

Only Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi were left in the camp.

"Just now there was a prompt message that Cecilia and I have raised their favor level to friends," Bai Xiaowen explained with a wink. "If I refuse... It won't turn into hatred, but it's estimated that the favor level will fall to ordinary."

"Well, don't look for these reasons..." Li Shuyi smiled. "You just want to promise, right?"

Bai Xiaowen quickly denied: "of course not, you are the only one in my heart!"

Li Shuyi stopped smiling and poked Bai Xiaowen's heart with her green fingertips.

"Well, don't lie to the little girl. My mother and two aunts said that we can't look too hard at men. We still have a long way to go in the future. I don't ask you to have only me in your heart..."

Bai Xiaowen was moved and happy, but he didn't tangle. Li Shuyi talked about this, and then tangled up is hypocritical. Moreover, this is the general background of the psionic era. It is common for men to wake up and have multiple wives (not in the legal sense), such as Taishan, Li Beihai

"... but I must be the heaviest one in your heart," Li Shuyi added.

Bai Xiaowen nodded.

"Also, you can't be greedy and take all women home," Li Shuyi thought. "You can't take any of Liang Zitong and Zhao Yuting! I don't have high requirements for you in this regard, but I don't want to make your house fight all day and make your house restless."

Bai Xiaowen continued to nod. He was a little surprised. Shouldn't a little girl of Li Shuyi's age be the best time to protect food? A freshman girl in another time and space, let alone stepping on two boats, even if she looks at other girls more, she has to be jealous and make a big fuss.

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. They can't be generalized. After all, the times are different - in the feudal society, the wife still takes the initiative to take concubines for her husband.

The age of psionics is a strong society. 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 monogamous and three wife family environment. She has been influenced since childhood. It is normal that she has a high acceptance of this aspect.

At night, BlackRock fortress.

Bai Xiaowen, dressed as a lord, joined hands with white rose Cecilia to enter the venue of the ball.

At ordinary times, his face is covered by a black cloak. Now he changes into the Lord's dress and fully shows Bai Xiaowen's high appearance. Cecilia often peeks at Bai Xiaowen's side face when pretending to be casual, while Bai Xiaowen looks ahead and keeps smiling.

In fact, his mental strength was open, and he had already sensed Cecilia's peeping. He was dark and happy in his heart, but he didn't show it in order to pretend to force the effect.

"Ha ha, who do I see? Baron Dior!"

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

Well dressed nobles came to greet Bai Xiaowen one after another. Some people also brought their daughters and wives to meet Bai Xiaowen.

These noble ladies and ladies, through different channels, have heard about Bai Xiaowen's deeds of killing the commander of the remnant vanguard army, and they are rumors after beautification in different versions. Naturally, their eyes twinkle 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, human hero," Cecilia whispered. "Maybe some delicate noble lady will secretly hand you a handkerchief."

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

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

After all, Cecilia was a leader of the powerful side. Cecilia just showed her shame for a moment and returned to normal, laughing:

"I can see that your sister Charlotte is a brave girl who dares to wave a sword to Kelman, the orc governor. I like her very much. However, the custom of the aristocratic circle of the Canary Empire always likes delicate aristocratic ladies. This can reflect the spirit of those sissy riders."

Bai Xiaowen secretly pointed around and quietly said, "it seems not all right... I see many people paying attention to you, Ms. white rose."

When seeing Bai Xiaowen around and Cecilia holding his arm, many northern lords showed surprise, envy and jealousy.

"They? Hehe, they just feel that conquering me can bring them the capital to boast." Cecilia first said disdainfully, then looked at Bai Xiaowen, and suddenly changed a charming expression:

"As for you, Baron Dior? Do you think the same?"

"If I say no, it will be impolite to the 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 with others, your sweet words are nothing new, Dior."

"I've always been an activist, Cecilia."

This flattery seems to have flattered the horse's legs. In fact, the effect is good. Calling your name directly is a kind of progress.

Prince Nicholas's voice sounded and announced the beginning of the ball.

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

Bai Xiaowen is a little embarrassed. The memory of the young Lord he inherited obviously does not include picking up girls and dancing. When dancing, his body was as stiff as a bag of wet cement.

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

"A little," Bai Xiaowen said.

"I've heard of your romance. Your performance is inconsistent with the rumors," Cecilia said with a special light in her eyes. "Haven't you danced for a long time?"

Bai Xiaowen turned his mouth and smiled: "no, you are so charming, Cecilia. You give me a feeling of tension and restraint I have never had before."

In fact, after the initial estrangement, with Bai Xiaowen's memory, he easily remembered this simple routine of slow shaking dance steps, and gradually became a lot more skilled.

After a dance, while resting on one side of the venue, groups of nobles began to talk about the war. Prince Nicholas held this dance, which is not as simple as dancing. There must be a constitution on how to deal with the coming main force of the remnant.

Prince Nicholas did not dance. He sat on the main seat. A group of nobles in Lord's clothes surrounded him. Bursts of laughter and laughter kept coming.

"This victory has thwarted the spirit of those beasts, and his Highness the prince has made great contributions."

"Yes, this victory has set a tone for the war. We will win."

"As long as there is the leadership of his Highness the prince, the coalition will not fail."

Prince Nicholas smiled and said, "it would be difficult to predict the outcome of this war without the magic of Archbishop Arlo's clergy."

When Bai Xiaowen heard this, he quickly asked, "is Archbishop Arlo here?" he was also an important figure, and I'm afraid he was no inferior to Nicholas.

Nicholas shook his head and said, "Archbishop Arlo and the order of the holy light have exhausted their strength in today's battle and are resting. Besides, our ball is not suitable for clergy."

A tall noble came up next to him: "Hey, Baron Dior, I heard you did well in this battle and were a hero of the coalition army. What do you think of this war?"

Bai Xiaowen glanced at him. Cecilia whispered, "this is count Denton, the commander of the first infantry phalanx."

Count, your rank is not low. From the fluctuations of psionic particles, Bai Xiaowen can perceive it without insight. He is a leader level strong man.

"My opinion... May be different from everyone here." Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth after thinking a little.

"Hmm?" someone wondered, "our opinion? Do you think it's wrong that we think the war will win?"

Shortly after entering the venue, Bai Xiaowen found that the whole BlackRock fortress was filled with an optimistic attitude towards the war. Just a few nobles chatted and thought that the arrival of the main force of the remnant alliance was just a repetition of today's scene.

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

Nicholas knew the seriousness of the death plague.

Bai Xiaowen quickly figured out the joints and, facing the questioning eyes of the people, said slowly: "The main force of the criminal domain remnant alliance is completely different from the vanguard force. When facing the vanguard force, haven't we seen the combat effectiveness of those beasts? The lives of four or five human soldiers may not be able to replace one of the other side! Why do you still think this battle will win?"

"... Baron Dior, you are too pessimistic!" count Denton's face sank. "The individual strength of the remnant coalition is very strong, but our advantage is greater!"

Several nobles who had just been silent spoke one after another.

"Yes, we have Archbishop Arlo's holy light priest group. More prohibitions! Purify all the beasts!"

"We are guarding the city. We have strong walls, riprap machines and bed crossbows. What are the beasts?"

"We are backed by the Empire and have endless support! What about the rear of the remnant coalition? It's just a desert!"

Bai Xiaowen calmly looked at these people and boasted, but he didn't change his caliber. He said loudly, "my opinion remains unchanged. The main force of the remnant alliance may be stronger than everyone here imagined! If you are still addicted to the illusion of victory in the war and don't want to face the reality, our low odds of victory will be further reduced. Wake up, gentlemen!"
