Chapter 167: The Dance Party (Part I)
Jessica looked at William in costume in front of her with a dark face, and complained extremely speechlessly:
"We only met for the first time yesterday, and you're going to give her a big gift today? That woman can't be a succubus, right?"
"What are you thinking? I'm not talking about the 'big gift' you think it's the big gift. ”
William straightened the collar that was buckled with a lace ribbon at the neckline, and said indifferently: "And it's not the first time, she has visited Her Majesty the Queen before, and we have met once at that time. ”
As he spoke, he buttoned up his neckline and spread his arms and turned to face Jessica.
"How's this outfit going? Do you look like a big businessman with a lot of money?"
Jessica looked up and down.
William wore a long, ornate coat with a breasted button, which, unlike the inflated inverted triangle garment popular among the aristocracy, had straight and smooth lines, and the large open sleeves were cut and tightened to fit the arms, highlighting his excellent muscular lines.
The female knight's eyes roamed up and down for a moment, and finally landed on William's "cold" face, and the nose winged for a moment and nodded reluctantly.
"It's okay, it's working pretty well......"
Although William is a melee professional, unlike those guys with explosive muscles, he has a well-proportioned body and a fluid and harmonious aesthetic.
And this close-fitting dress outlines his smooth muscle lines well, and it also fits his temperament quite well, which is a big plus in Jessica's eyes.
William, however, shook his head.
He continued to ask, "It doesn't matter how effective it is, the main thing is that it doesn't look like a rich person. ”
Rich?
Jessica's mind was full of question marks, and the eyes that looked at him were full of incomprehension.
"Aren't you going to give a gift to that woman, why do you have to dress like a rich man?"
William pulled a more ornate garment and pressed it to his body. Then he explained while wearing it: "Giving a big gift is just a saying, I actually want to talk and cooperate with Jin Suo Luoshang."
This chamber of commerce is not only the head snake of Fort Dosa, but also the biggest spokesperson of the Church of Fortune in France, and it is much more convenient to have their support if you want to stabilize the territory.
As for clothing, there is a Fortune Church meeting going on, so you have to dress a little 'rich'. By the way, you have to come with me later, our employment agreement says that when I am attending a banquet without a female companion, you are obliged to accompany me. ”
“......”
"How much is written on that piece of torn paper!"
William smiled and said nothing, he usually wore a set of guard clothes for a year, but he actually pulled Jessica to try on more than a dozen sets of clothes in one go, and it took a lot of effort to find a satisfactory outfit.
After dressing up the sequins and broken glass, he and Jessica, who was forced to participate, stepped into the carriage and left the house under the sad eyes of the whites.
With the clatter of horses' hooves, it didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at the door of the Jinsoro Chamber of Commerce, and when the receptionist saw William's fancy but expensive clothes, the look on his face was really kind.
The receptionist, who was dressed in a waiter's suit, bent down slightly, and said to the two of them respectfully:
"Welcome both to the rally? May the trade route be unimpeded? May the Goddess be well and happy. ”
After hearing the prayer from the waiter's mouth, the corners of William's mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.
Even when you say a prayer, you have to talk about money before talking about God? I wish the goddess good health, and I actually added a "also" in front of it? Every time I listen to this prayer, I feel full of slots, and I can only say that it is really worthy of the Church of Wealth? Everything is right to look at money.
"May our sweat be condensed into riches, and may our piety be upon the kingdom of God. ”
By the way, after the "code"? The waiter smiled and got out of the way? William nodded politely to him, then pulled Jessica into the somewhat noisy hall.
In addition to the unique prayers, the Church of Fortune also has a unique way of meeting, which is different from those that chant scriptures and sing hymns. The congregations of the Church of Fortune have nothing to do with solemnity.
There are a large number of gorgeously dressed men and women coming and going in the hall? Waiters carry plates in their hands, and there is even a large dance floor in the center of the hall, where dozens of pairs of men and women are engaged in some elegant duo sports to melodious and soothing music. It looks like a normal aristocratic ball.
The female knight looked at this crowded hall with some dazzle, didn't she admire the splendor here? Instead, I felt a strange and expectant tension.
Her life had been twisted in a different direction by her father since she was seven years old, filled with training, sweat, blood and killing. Long dresses, proms, high heels, these things are too far away from her?
Jessica looked at the men and women on the dance floor with a look of envy in her eyes.
Are these ballroom dance movements so simple? With the physical fitness of a third-order professional, there shouldn't be any difficulty, right?
This thought passed by me? But inexplicably began to take root in her heart? A sense of eagerness to try it came over me.
The female knight bit her rosy lip lightly? The hand holding William's arm suddenly tightened.
William was looking for Karina, but he couldn't help but look back in surprise when he felt a tug on his arm.
Because she was dragged by William to attend the rally, the female knight had to take off her close-fitting leather armor and replace it with a fluffy and wide gorgeous dress.
After glancing at the pink and white puffy dress, William smacked his lips with some regret. Although she is still tall and beautiful in a skirt, her beautiful legs of amazing length are firmly hidden under the fluffy skirt, and I really don't know why she has to choose such a "princess-style" skirt.
Looking at Jessica, who looked hesitant, William took the initiative to ask:
"What's the matter, do you have something you want to ask?"
Jessica nodded, and when she wanted to ask William if she would like to dance with her, she couldn't open her mouth for some reason. She pursed her lips heavily, trying to force herself to speak, "William...... You ......"
"You're trying to ask why that guy put us in?"
“......”
Jessica reluctantly looked at the dance floor in the distance, disappointed but relieved.
The female knight nodded with a complicated face and replied, "Yes...... I want to ask, why did you just say something and he got out of the way, this should be a gathering of believers, are you a believer in the goddess of wealth?"
William shook his head categorically.
What is there to believe in the goddess of wealth, I don't believe in any god, huh...... If there's a goddess of equipment, I wouldn't mind having a with her.
After looking around to make sure no one was paying attention to them, William leaned over to Jessica's ear and whispered:
"I'm actually an unbeliever, and I don't believe in any gods, and what that man said is a quote from the Church of Fortune, which is a proof of entry, and only those who can answer the prayer can attend this meeting. ”
Jessica nodded as if she didn't understand, and then brought her lips to William's ear in a thoughtful manner.
"But how did you know the prayers of the Church of Wealth? Prayers are usually only recited when you attend meetings, so it should be difficult for people who are not believers to know, right?"
The female knight was obviously not very good at biting his ears with others, and she didn't control her breath well when she spoke, and her warm breath went straight into William's ear, making him a little itchy.
William plucked out his ears and explained: "There is still a way, find a believer in the Fortune Church to quarrel, make him doubt life, and be so angry that he can open his mouth and scold you."
Most of the people who believe in the Church of Wealth are businessmen, and the doctrine emphasizes peace of mind and kindness, and arguing and scolding others are considered deviations, and those who violate the doctrine will certainly subconsciously start to recite prayers to ask the gods for forgiveness. ”
Jessica glanced at the dance floor in the distance and nodded absentmindedly.
"I see......"
Hmm, don't you praise me for such a witty behavior?
William noticed that Jessica was a little distracted, frowned, leaned over and said tentatively:
"Jessica, your dress is a little crooked, and the bra pads inside look like they're about to be exposed......"
The female knight hurriedly lowered her head, and found that the neckline of the skirt was indeed a little low, so she couldn't help blushing and quickly reached out to cover it, and gently grabbed William by the way.
After arranging the lining of the neckline, she stomped her foot in some shame to meet William's playful gaze, and the high-heeled crystal slippers she had just bought made an overwhelmed crackling sound.
"I ...... I said I wasn't interested, and you insisted on me coming...... I hadn't worn a skirt since I was seven years old, and this kind of clothes that were cumbersome and inconvenient to move around didn't suit me at all. ”
After listening to her words, William nodded approvingly.
This tutu skirt really doesn't suit Jessica. In order to appear fluffy and wide, this kind of skirt has to be worn several layers inside and out, and without a thick layer of chest pads, it will not reflect the body curve at all.
In addition to the front and back, some whimsical aristocratic ladies have even developed such things as hip pads, which have been forced to create a new world with whale baleen and ribbons, and at a glance it is almost all Kardashian.
In short, except for a few gifted people, wearing this kind of skirt is equivalent to saying goodbye to the curve, although Jessica's figure is not bad, but there is still a lot of distance from talent.
In addition, the skirt of this skirt is also a little too long, and the long skirt can cover the flaws for women with short lower bodies, but it hides the biggest advantage of female knights.
And this princess-girlish puffy skirt doesn't match Jessica's temperament, if it weren't for the look of anticipation when the female knight held the skirt, he would definitely not agree with this matching method.
If you really want to say the right thing, it must be a one-step skirt and a close-fitting thin silk, and it is better to take another ......
