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

This little widow...... Are you flirting with me?

Li Shuyi squeezed over: "There is, there is...... 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 always have to have their own lives." There are several handsome young lads among my knights, and you can choose one of them to be your dance partner for tonight. ”

Cecilia waved her hand, "Tim, Marco, Phil......!

Three handsome-looking 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. Cecilia the White Rose said briefly.

The three knights looked at Li Shuyi, and their eyes all lit up with eagerness.

The rules of the spirit world will change the appearance of the awakened, but it is still based on the original appearance, so Bai Xiaowen's current image is a handsome Nordic guy with three-dimensional facial features and deep eyes, but he can't see it wearing 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 default maid costume was a bit inconsistent, and under Bai Xiaowen's reminder, she spent 100 psionic points to change a set of noble lady's tight-fitting hunting outfit, which was also charming in her heroic spirit, not to mention attractive to the knights under Cecilia.

Again, this kind of transfiguration costume only takes effect in the eyes of the characters in the spiritual realm. 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 glorious cloak.

After sending three wingmen, Cecilia continued to attack her target: "What's the matter, Baron Dior?

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

Bai Xiaowen definitely didn't want Li Shuyi to be someone else's dance partner, although he knew that nothing would happen, but he was unhappy in his heart.

Push yourself and others...... It is estimated that Li Shuyi is not happy that he accepts Cecilia's invitation.

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

If you offend someone, you will offend someone, just when Bai Xiaowen opened his mouth to refuse, Li Shuyi suddenly interrupted:

"Brother, I'm not feeling well today, so I'm not going to the ball, you go and accompany Lady Cecilia and have some fun. ”

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

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

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

The three white-armored knights were rejected by Li Shuyi, all of them were a little disappointed, and followed the female lord Cecilia to leave.

After the group was gone, Kitts whistled softly:

"Lord, it seems that the white rose is very interesting to you. The fief she inherited is adjacent to the Red Leaf Collar, if the boss can take her down and the two families marry, hehe...... Fiefdoms can more than double their size. ”

"Don't say what you shouldn't say, hurry up and train the recruits!" Bai Xiaowen grimaced.

Kitts shrank his head, and the few White Rock soldiers next to him who were probing their brains were all scattered.

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

"There was a hint just now, Cecilia and I have been upgraded to friends," Bai Xiaowen explained with a wink, "If I refuse...... It's not enough to turn against each other, but the favorability level is estimated to fall to ordinary. ”

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

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

Li Shuyi suppressed her smile, and her green fingertips poked Bai Xiaowen's heart.

"Okay, don't talk about this kind of deception to the little girl. Mom and two aunts have said that they can't look too closely at men. We still have a long way to go in the future, and I don't ask you to have only me in your heart......"

Bai Xiaowen was moved and happy when he heard it, but he didn't get entangled. Li Shuyi has talked about this, and it is hypocritical to be entangled again. Moreover, the background of the psionic era is like this, and it is common for men to awaken strong people who have multiple wives (not in the legal sense), such as Taishan Li Beihai......

“...... However, I must be the one who has the heaviest in your heart. Li Shuyi added.

Bai Xiaowen nodded.

"Also, you can't go hungry and choose food, and all women will go to the house," Li Shuyi thought about it, "You can't ask for any of them like Liang Zitong, Zhao Yuting, and the like! I don't have high requirements for you, but I don't want to make the house fight 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, let alone stepping on two boats, even if she looks at other girls more, she will have to make a big fuss.

Bai Xiaowen then thought that this should be due to the background, the ideas of girls in the era of psionic energy and girls in another time and space must be different, and they cannot be generalized, after all, the times are different - in feudal society, wives also take the initiative to give concubines to their husbands.

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

Li Shuyi grew up in a family environment of three gamous and three wives, and she has been exposed to it since she was a child, so it is normal for her to have a high acceptance of this aspect.

In the evening, Black Rock Fortress.

Bai Xiaowen was dressed in lord costumes and entered the ball venue hand in hand with the white rose Cecilia.

Usually, it is the black robe and cloak that covers his face, but now he has changed into a lord's costume, which fully shows Bai Xiaowen's high appearance. Cecilia on the side often peeked at Bai Xiaowen's side face when she pretended to be inadvertent, while Bai Xiaowen looked ahead and kept smiling.

In fact, his spiritual power was open, and he had already sensed Cecilia's voyeurism, and his heart was secretly refreshed, but he didn't show it in order to pretend to be a coercive effect.

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

"Toast to our heroes, Baron Dior!"

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

These aristocratic ladies and noble ladies, through different channels, have already heard about Bai Xiaowen's deeds of killing the commander of the Remnant Vanguard Army, and it is a rumor that different versions have been beautified, and their eyes looking at Bai Xiaowen are naturally shining.

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

"You're more popular than I thought you would, enjoy the moment, human hero. Cecilia whispered, "Maybe some delicate aristocratic lady will secretly hand you a handkerchief." ”

"In fact, I have no interest in delicate women. Bai Xiaowen said with a smile.

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

But after all, he is a leader-level powerhouse on the dominant side, Cecilia just showed her shyness for a moment, and then returned to normal, and said with a smile:

"I can see that your sister Charlotte is a brave girl who dares to swing her sword at the orc overseer Kelman, and I like her very much. However, the custom of the Plantagenet Empire's aristocratic circle has always been to like delicate noble ladies. This can reflect the chivalry of those sissies. ”

Bai Xiaowen pointed around covertly and said quietly, "It doesn't seem to be all right...... I see a lot of people paying attention to you, Lady White Rose. ”

When they saw Bai Xiaowen beside him, it was Cecilia holding his arm, and many Northern Frontier lords showed expressions of surprise and envy and jealousy.

"They, hehe, they just think that conquering me will bring them the capital to boast about. Cecilia first said disdainfully, then looked at Bai Xiaowen, and suddenly changed her charming expression:

"As for you, Baron Dior, do you think the same way?"

"If I say no, it will be too rude to a beautiful lady," Bai Xiaowen said seriously, "You are like the moon in the night sky, a 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 the others, your sweet words are nothing new, Dio." ”

"I've always been a man of action, Cecilia. ”

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

Prince Nicholas's voice rang out, announcing the start of the ball.

Long accordion music sounds, accompanied by soothing melodies, and a pair of aristocratic men and women gently twirl on the dance floor.

Bai Xiaowen was a little embarrassed, the memory of the young lord he inherited obviously did not include pickling girls and dancing. While dancing, his body is as stiff as a bag of wet cement.

Cecilia put her arms around Bai Xiaowen's neck, exhaled like a lan, 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, and your performance is a little different from the rumors," Cecilia's eyes flashed with a special light, "It's been a long time since you danced, are you rusty?"

The corners of Bai Xiaowen's mouth hooked, revealing a smile: "No, it's you who are too attractive, Cecilia." You gave me a feeling of tension and restraint that I had never felt before. ”

In fact, after the rustiness at the beginning, with Bai Xiaowen's memory, he easily remembered this simple routine of slow rock dance steps, and gradually became much more proficient.

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

Prince Nicholas did not dance, he sat on the main seat, surrounded by a group of nobles dressed in the garb of the lord, and bursts of laughter and laughter were constantly heard.

"This victory has already thwarted the spirit of those beasts, and His Royal Highness the Prince has made great contributions. ”

"Yes, this victory set the tone for the war, and we will win. ”

"As long as there is the leadership of His Royal Highness the Prince, the United Army will not fail. ”

Prince Nicholas smiled and said, "If it weren't for the magic of the clergy of Archbishop Arlo, the outcome of this war would have been unpredictable. ”

When Bai Xiaowen heard this, he hurriedly 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 ball is not suitable for the clergy. ”

A tall nobleman next to him walked over: "Hi, Baron Dior, I heard that you have performed well in this battle and are the hero of the Combine Army." What do you think about this war?"

Bai Xiaowen glanced at him. Cecilia whispered, "This is the Earl of Danton, the commander of the First Infantry Phalanx. ”

Earl, the title is not low. From the fluctuations of the psionic particles, Bai Xiaowen could perceive it without insight, this was a leader-level powerhouse.

"My opinion...... It may be a little different from all of you. Bai Xiaowen squinted his eyes and spoke after a little thought.

"Huh?" said one of them, "our opinion, don't you think it's right that we think the war will be won?"

Soon after entering the venue, Bai Xiaowen found that the entire Black Rock Fortress was filled with an optimistic attitude towards the war. The chatting of several nobles just now all thought that the arrival of the main force of the remnant coalition army was just a repetition of today's scene.

It is not surprising that the short-sighted, hedonistic aristocracy thinks so. But Nicholas, does he really think so too?

Nicholas knew the gravity of the Necromantic Plague.

Bai Xiaowen quickly figured out the joints, met everyone's questioning eyes, and said slowly: "The main force of the Sin Domain Remnant Alliance is completely different from the vanguard force. When facing the vanguard troops, haven't we already seen the combat effectiveness of those beasts? The lives of four or five human soldiers may not be able to replace one of the opposing forces! Why do you still think that this battle will be won?"

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

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

"Yes, we have Archbishop Arlo's Order of the Holy Light, a few more forbidden spells!

"We are the defenders, with strong walls and stone throwers and bed crossbows, what do the beasts have?"

"We have the Empire on our backs, and we have endless support! What about the rear of the Remnant Alliance? It's just a desert!"

Bai Xiaowen calmly looked at these people boasting, but he did not change his tone, and said loudly: "My opinion remains the same, the main force of the remnants of the coalition army is strong, and it may exceed the imagination of all of you here! If you are still indulged in the illusion that the war will be won, and are unwilling to face the reality, our already low chances of victory will be further narrowed. Wake up, gentlemen!"
