Bai Xiaowen's words were like a basin of cold water, dousing the cheerful atmosphere in the field.

Cecilia's gaze at Bai Xiaowen was a little complicated. Of course, she could feel that the eyes of the others looking at "Dior" began to become subtle.

Reason tells Cecilia to take a few steps away and distance herself from "Dior". However, in Cecilia's heart, there was an inexplicable appreciation and touch for this outspoken young lord.

How good, stick to your own ideas, not afraid of power, not conformist, not kitsch. In this filthy aristocratic circle, there are fewer and fewer people like this.

However, others apparently didn't think so, especially the Earl of Denton, who was slapped in face. He snorted heavily: "Baron Dior, if you don't have the merit of killing the orc vanguard, I can determine that you are a coward based on what you just said!"

Several nobles who stood on the side of the Earl of Denton spoke up to accuse Bai Xiaowen, and some questioned his military exploits.

"With such guts, you can also be considered a hero of the human united army?"

"I heard that the orc vanguard officer was seriously injured by Prince Nicholas before being picked up by Baron Dior......"

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince is magnanimous and praised him, but this Dior, I really don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and he dares to be presumptuous in front of His Royal Highness the Prince and His Excellency the Earl......"

Bai Xiaowen ignored these nobles, looked at Earl Denton, and said calmly: "Those who dare to admit that the enemy is powerful are not cowards. Those who dare not face reality and indulge in their own fantasies are the real cowards. When the enemy arrives, the cowards who are immersed in fantasy will pay even more for their lack of preparation!"

"Enough. ”

Seeing that the dispute was escalating, Prince Nicholas raised his hand to stop the conflict. Because he saw that the aristocratic men and women on the dance floor had stopped dancing at some point, and they came to watch as melon-eating crowds.

There were also whispers in the crowd, most of them talking about Baron Dior's ignorance of good and bad, and his arrogance when he had some credit.

"I understand your concerns, Dior," Prince Nicholas said with a slight nod, "but this is a ball to celebrate victory. I don't want any quarrels to spoil the atmosphere, so I ask you to refrain from speaking again. ”

Bai Xiaowen's facial muscles twitched, revealing an unwilling look, but he still exhaled and saluted: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

After saluting, Bai Xiaowen left the small circle and sat in the corner of the ballroom in silence. When everyone saw his appearance, they all stayed away, and those delicate ladies began to look for new targets for their hearts.

"You don't mind if I'm sitting here, do you?"

A familiar voice sounded, and Cecilia, the white rose, sat down beside Bai Xiaowen gently.

Bai Xiaowen showed a helpless smile: "Madam, you should stay away from me." He pointed not far away, where the jubilant Prince Nicholas and the Earl of Denton had been restored.

"Really?" Cecilia smiled charmingly, but sat closer to Bai Xiaowen.

The legs of the two were like separation, and through the clothes, Bai Xiaowen could also feel the elasticity and tightness of those thighs.

"Today, you have shown me another form of courage," Cecilia said softly as she approached Bai Xiaowen, "compared to the martial arts on the battlefield, the courage you just showed is even more commendable, Dio." ”

"Don't laugh at me, Cecilia," Bai Xiaowen leaned against the wall behind his back and stretched his waist, "This should be called recklessness......

Cecilia suddenly leaned over and hugged Bai Xiaowen's neck.

It's the same as when dancing, but the two are not dancing now, and this kind of action is undoubtedly a little too intimate. Fortunately, this is a corner, and few people look at it.

Bai Xiaowen's body stiffened slightly, and he could feel Cecilia's softness as it brushed his arm. Then, Cecilia's slightly cool lips were imprinted on Bai Xiaowen's cheeks.

"Do you believe now that I'm not laughing at you?" Cecilia whispered, "I'm rooting for you, Dio. ”

The Spiritual Rule Prompt message came:

"Lord Cecilia's opinion of you has increased, and the current opinion level is friend. ”

"You have reached friendship level with a spirit figure of the opposite sex (Lord Cecilia). You can already check the 'Affection' level between you and her. ”

"The current level of affection for you by Lord Cecilia is: Heartbeat. ”

Bai Xiaowen was a little surprised, it turned out that there was a "affection" system independent of the favorability system between him and the opposite sex, and it was the first time he had encountered it. This was not included in the previous collections.

After all, this was the venue for the ball, and Cecilia just kissed Bai Xiaowen's cheek like a dragonfly, and then retreated. Bai Xiaowen didn't dare to act rashly, lest it be self-defeating.

After settling down, Bai Xiaowen silently inquired about the information about "devotion to the heart".

The feedback given by the spirit rules is:

"Affection, which is usually a relationship between the opposite sex, is divided into 7 levels. ”

"Normally, the affinity level is hidden and displayed when certain conditions are met. ”

"The level of affection is normally 'ordinary', and with the increase of affection, the higher levels are 'appreciation', 'heartbeat', 'love', and 'love'. Levels below 'normal' are 'hate' and 'disgust'. ”

There is little feedback on the information. Bai Xiaowen continued to inquire: "If you reach the level of 'love' or 'love', what will be the impact?"

In this regard, the spirit rules do not continue to give an answer: "Let the awakened explore for themselves." ”

Bai Xiaowen pouted.

This dance poured cold water on Bai Xiaowen, and also made the nobles and nobles in the Black Rock Fortress remember Bai Xiaowen, a hairy boy.

Until the end of the ball, no one continued to discuss the topic of the remnants.

"Let's go. Bai Xiaowen stood up.

Suddenly, a waiter walked over and bowed: "Honorable Baron Dior, His Royal Highness the Prince is preparing to convene a high-level military meeting, please attend." ”

Prince Nicholas once said that Bai Xiaowen had the right to participate in and speak at high-level military meetings.

"It seems that His Royal Highness is not angry about this. Go ahead, leave me alone. Cecilia was also happy for Bai Xiaowen.

The waiter said, "Your Excellency Lord Cecilia, His Royal Highness the Prince has said that if Baron Dior's female companion is also there, please come with you." ”
