Chapter 1098: Temptation
As soon as dinner was over, the tables were removed and replaced by small tables, where the maids brought up plates of cut fruits, most of which were good for nourishing the body, and even delicious dragon fruit. And the wine and various desserts that were served afterwards also made people feel happy - Merlin admitted that she had no preference for alcohol, but it was easy to be captured by desserts.
I don't know when, a band entered the hall and began to play melodious and soothing dance music, and everyone walked into the hall and danced.
Merlin politely declined several male guests who invited her to dance, she also had no feelings for the ball, even when she was in the wilderness forest, she had participated in dance parties and other shows many times, but each time she enjoyed not the dance itself, but the music and desserts, this is the program she longed for.
While most of the people were immersed in the dance, she picked up a slightly larger plate and filled it with seven or eight delightful desserts.
At this time, many people entered the hall, basically every man had a dance partner with him, and Petro walked around at this time, holding a wine glass in his hand, and when he met an acquaintance, he smiled and nodded his glass...... Then, this guy appeared in front of Merlin.
He raised his glass to Mei Lin, and said with a smile: "Miss Mei Lin, don't be too restrained, see Miss Mei Lin is not married yet, right? There are a lot of handsome young people in a while, don't miss it." β
Mei Lin didn't react to this kind of joke at all, she raised the plate in her hand, and said lightly: "For me, food is what can't be disappointed!"
Petro is also a good person, and when he saw Merlene's performance, he was also interested, so he laughed and walked away.
The hall grew more and more crowded, and for the evening, the Stathams invited almost all of Benhagen's biggest names and faces.
It was really not appropriate to stand at the table and eat dessert violently, Merlin glanced around, and walked towards the window, there were not many people to greet her along the way, Merlin was happy to do so, but Merlin could feel that the eyes of many young people were drifting towards her, which made her feel very uncomfortable, but whenever she tilted her head slightly, these eyes would quickly flash away like frightened small animals. It made Merlin a little depressed.
When she came to the window and began to enjoy her dessert, Jules came to her with a glass of wine: "My lord, I have already asked clearly, the blonde wizard we met at the Blue Bird Restaurant is Ophilok Statham, the proud son of the Statham family, and among the younger generation of bloodline warlocks of the Order of the Phoenix, he is also among the best. But ......"
"But what?" Merlin was a little strange at the look of Jules.
"Lord Opirok...... There are many ...... The female companion ...... "Jules is still spitting."
Date?
Mei Lin was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, the bloodline warlock pays the most attention to the bloodline inheritance, and in order to leave an excellent bloodline, it is not incomprehensible to act as a stallion. Of course, Merlin herself would certainly not accept it. However, she didn't have this position, and she didn't think about the issue of inheriting the bloodline at all.
Suddenly, she couldn't help but feel a pang of annoyance at the thought of those eyes just nowβit was clear that those people had some dirty thoughts on their heads. In fact, it is also normal, whether it is in the circle of traditional wizards or bloodline warlocks, excellent female wizards are hot, and they are pure-blooded phoenix warlocks, so they are naturally coveted by some people. Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved.
"Okay, I see, you ...... Take care of yourself. Merlin waved her hand...... This person has no eyesight, and my plate of desserts is going to be sour.
"Master Merlin, why are you here alone?"
A pleasant voice came from behind Merlin, she turned around, and saw Olivia coming with a wine glass, and beside her was a young man in a wizard's robe, the young man also had fiery red hair, and there was always a wisp of a smile on the corner of his mouth, with Bai Xian's smooth face, handsome and extraordinary, looking at Merlin's eyes full of scorching heat, which made her very uncomfortable.
"David Statham, could you be honored to ask for a dance?" the young man bowed slightly to Merlin, polite and graceful.
"No, you can't. β
Mei Lin glanced at the young master of the Statham family, whose smile became a little stiff, and said indifferently: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency Statham, since the first time I learned to dance, I decided never to dance again. β
David's expression at this time was purple: "......"
Rao is Olivia is good at adapting, but she is also a little overwhelmed by Mei Lin's unconventional refusal, and the scene is quite embarrassing.
In the end, it was David who reacted to break the deadlock, and the smile on his face came alive again: "Listening to Olivia, Miss Merlin can resist the attack of nearly twenty explosive fireballs with zero-level witchcraft, which makes me admire it tightly!"
Olivia also reacted at this time, "David heard about Lord Merlin's deeds, and asked me to introduce him to you as a sign of admiration. β
"Oh, that's just a desperate move, just luck. Merlin said lightly.
This matter can't be discussed, and if it continues to be discussed, it will affect the skill of 'spell stacking', although this is not a secret, but if she wants to communicate, she must also have a considerable price, definitely not this kind of communication in the form of small talk.
The corners of David's mouth curled up in an elegant arc, as if he had no intention: "There is no strength and no luck! Miss Merlin is humble!"
"Your Excellency is exalting me too much!" Merlin's face remained as usual, lukewarm.
David shrugged gracefully, "It would be a pleasure to have a good time with Miss Merlin one day!"
Immediately, as if realizing his gaffe, he laughed at himself: "Just kidding, joking." I wonder if Mr. Wang is interested in making potions?"
Merlin couldn't help but be vigilant. He said, "Generally!"
"I'd love to talk to Miss Merlin about the following spell casting techniques, but unfortunately I wasn't there at the time and couldn't witness it. There was a look of anticipation in David's eyes.
"If Your Excellency is here, there will be no chance for me to perform. Mei Lin just responded, how could the other party mention spell casting skills and potions for no reason? Could it mean something? Mei Lin, who didn't know the depth of the other party, didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Seeing that Merlin didn't seem to have much interest in talking, David and Olivia said goodbye and moved on to another place.
Merlin simply stayed in a corner, slowly eating the dessert on her plate.
