Chapter 195: The Secret Talk Behind the Scenes
It's raining.
Deli exhaled softly, watching the white steam dissipate in the rain. Although the magic on the mage's robe could help shield her from the rain, the chill of late autumn still made the girl feel a little uncomfortable. Although their ancestors had fought off the invading barbarians under the same harsh conditions. But when it comes to Deli herself, she is still not used to moving forward in such harsh conditions. Not to mention that it was getting late, and it was pitch black everywhere in the forest. Although according to Deli's thoughts, finding a cave to shelter from the rain at this time is the best choice. But neither Patilina nor the girl knights seemed to have this idea, so she could only grit her teeth and continue to persevere.
I wonder how Deli would feel if she knew that Jenn was enjoying a meal in the warm banquet hall at the moment. Throwing a fireball at it is already the best outcome.
Luckily, though, she didn't know anything.
It can be seen that ignorance is sometimes a blessing.
And at this moment, the girl knights in front of them suddenly stopped, and even Patilina paused slightly, squinting her eyes and looking around. This sudden change suddenly stunned Deli, who was originally trying to fight against the rain curtain, but she also reacted immediately, clenched her staff and looked into the dark jungle. In the dark distance, the raindrops continued to hit the grass and leaves, making a continuous "rustling" sound, in this case, if something moved in the forest, it would be difficult to detect, could it be that they found something?
"What's wrong? Miss Pattilina? Are we going to start fighting? ”
Thinking of this, Dai Li couldn't help but concentrate. Then he whispered to the girl beside him to confirm. No wonder she was so nervous, even though it was the first time for Deli to participate in such a ritual. But she had never eaten pork and had seen pigs run, and she knew that there were a lot of dirty things to do in every ceremony. Although it is true that the Summerwind Forest is inaccessible. But it's not like there is always a group of monsters running around the street, is it that every time they come back, the "battle losses" of those members are all dropped while fighting monsters? Deli didn't believe those monsters would be smart enough to use magic and swords.
But now that we're just getting started, is anyone planning to do something to them? It's too early.
"No, nothing."
Hearing Delly's inquiry, Patilina was silent for a moment, then shook her head.
"It's just that there are a few puppies in front of me, so it's not a big problem."
"Puppy?"
Hearing this, Deli blinked. But Patilina didn't answer, instead. Her eyes swept along the forest in front of her, looking at the figures of the aliens who flashed in the grass - as combat units that also belong to the dungeon system, they naturally have telepathy with each other, and at this moment, Patilina has also felt the intelligence and information provided by these aliens through the spiritual feedback of these aliens.
Looks like rats are already following them............
Thinking of this, a strange smile flashed in Patilina's eyes.
"Let's go."
Next, it's the main event.
Jenn didn't take the trouble behind them to heart. In fact, after noticing the arrival of these uninvited guests, he had already decided to "take a back seat" for the time being, and let those guys help him to do what was supposed to be done by him. As for himself...............
“……… Because of this, in the dark region. The most important thing for travelers is not to spray sesame oil, otherwise those evil monsters will be able to follow the smell from miles away. ”
"Woo-ah..............."
Hearing Jenn's story, the aristocratic girls next to them couldn't help but marvel. At this moment, Jenn was occupying a corner of the banquet hall on the first floor. Talking to a few aristocratic ladies. After a warm exchange with the eldest lady named Tina before, many noble ladies also followed suit. Ran to Jenn to ask about him. For these girls, Jenn naturally did not refuse to come. The banquet was the social arena of the aristocracy. And the flowers in these greenhouses are the easiest to pick. With the precedent of Lygia and the two maids, Jenn naturally began to turn his attention to other humans as well. The son of a witch is good, but it takes time to cultivate. But these greenhouse ladies are different, they are young, beautiful, weak-minded, and easily seduced. It only takes a few words to be fascinated, and with Jenn's own charm bonus as a demon, it couldn't be easier to deal with these eldest ladies who haven't seen much of the world. As long as you can capture their peace of mind with sweet words, and then let them completely immerse themselves in desire and happiness, then you can easily take these eldest ladies for your own use.
It's just a pity that Jenn feels a little sorry that most of these young ladies are from Pawood's allies and neutral families, while members of rival families are rarely seen. It seems that they are restrained by their parents and dare not touch themselves at this time. What a pitiful ......... But it doesn't matter, sooner or later, it's all your own dishes, so why rush it?
Thinking of this, Jenn withdrew his thoughts, and then showed the smile that fascinated the girls again.
"So, ladies and gentlemen, I think you'll be interested in the mushroom jungle in the Dark Regions........."
For Jenn, seducing these eldest ladies was simply stress-free, not even difficult at all. Because compared to other noble children, his advantage is not as simple as a little bit. In terms of appearance, Jenn's changing human form is equally handsome and dashing. In terms of strength, even Sterke is no match for him. In terms of charm, for the demons who came out of the lower realm, it is the most basic skill to say black to white, and white to black, and it is easy to deceive and seduce these young ladies who are not deeply involved in the world. In addition, Jenn's secret anecdotes about the dark region are also attractive enough, and in this case, other noble children can't compare to him at all. This made the eyes of most of the noble girls in the entire banquet hall almost focused on Jenn's body. There are even some older women among them. The others who watched were gritting their teeth, but what could they do? There were still a few gentlemen who didn't like it before. wanted to find a chance to humiliate Jenn, but he didn't expect this young man who had always been smiling at the eldest ladies to turn his face directly. Asking for a duel on the grounds that they had insulted his own glory, he almost didn't scare the idiots when he pulled out his white gloves and threw them over. Directly don't even care about the scene, just run away, what are you kidding, the other party is easy to deal with Sturke, and it's even easier to clean them up? They just couldn't get used to seeing Jenn soak in the flowers, and they weren't dueling for the woman they loved, and it wouldn't be worth it if they were slaughtered like chickens by the other party.
And this little conflict made Jenn's image more and more dazzling among those aristocratic ladies, after all, compared to the few fools who ran away. They were fascinated by the masculinity that Jenn displayed when he asked for a duel. In comparison, it can almost be said that the judgment is superior. The other noble children are not stupid, and after seeing this scene, they will naturally not be stupid enough to come out again, after all, no one is in the mood to be the green leaves of the red flower, right?
It's just that the women who are watching Jenn in the banquet hall at the moment are not the only ones who are attracted by his charm.
"I still don't understand why you chose to work with him, Father."
Glancing disapprovingly at the young man surrounded by noble ladies, the man withdrew his gaze and looked at his father with a frown.
"Although it seems that he is really strong. But what future can a person who is so indulged in pleasure have? Patriarch, I admit that he is indeed gifted, but there are many examples in history of degeneration and corruption because of his outstanding talent. Looking at the way he looks now, do you really think it's wise to tie him to our Pawood family. ”
"Stupid."
Hear the man's complaints. The old man glared at him dissatisfiedly and snorted coldly.
"You've been with me for so long, haven't you learned the attitude of a nobleman?"
"But it seems to me. The pride and glory of the aristocracy is not reflected in spending time drinking and circling around women! ”
The more the man talked, the more excited he became, and at the end. He even clenched his fists. In fact, he also knew he was not in a position to complain here. But he was well aware of how critical the current form of the Skar Federation was. Although it seems calm on the surface, it is the eve of stormy weather. In the eyes of young people, this should be the time when the lords sit at the table and fight for the future of the country. But now they bury their heads in the sand like ostriches, and they only know how to anesthetize their nerves by singing and dancing. This made the man in front of him feel extremely angry, what did they think of this country? And what do you think of the people of this country? Don't they know that with every day of delay, things will become more and more irreparable and untidy?
"But the aristocracy also has its own way of doing things!"
Old Pawood saw through his subordinates' thoughts at a glance, and he frowned and criticized mercilessly.
"What do you think he should do? Come up and talk to us in secret? Don't forget that he's a decorated nobleman! If we were to talk in secret here, the next day the whole council would be suspicious of our Pawood family Templar Church, which would only add to the panic in the hearts of those who were already precarious. Everyone has their own way of doing it, and in my opinion, he did a great job. After all, our invitation to the banquet this time was just a statement in itself, and the young man was obviously very aware of this. ”
Speaking of this, looking at the unwilling expressions of his subordinates, the old man couldn't help but soften his tone.
"You should also understand that politics is like that. Even if the dark tide is turbulent in the audience, the nobles on the stage must pretend that nothing has happened. If even we are stern and nervous, what will the people under our rule think? At that time, there is no need to wait for external threats, I am afraid that the Federation itself will already be in civil strife. I have to admit that although these guys are pretending to be ostriches, they also have the benefits of pretending to be ostriches. We can't expect everything to go the way we want it to, but we can take advantage of these opportunities............"
At this, old Pawood sighed, and he turned his head to look out the window into the dark depths of the forest.
"Now, I just hope to be able to make a qiē shun lì."
Then, the old man muttered to himself. (To be continued......)
