Chapter 289: Arrangement
Another drinking party.
Only this time, a new star has appeared.
The noble and elegant black hair, the striking long legs, the straight chest, and the cold temperament and the abnormal vertical pupils that are displayed from time to time have fascinated many nobles.
Carla is on fire.
Because even in the social circle of the imperial capital where all kinds of courtesans show their magical powers, and a bunch of noble ladies and noble ladies compete for beauty, she is also an extremely outstanding beauty, wearing a maid costume before, always following behind, erasing her sense of existence and making her look very inconspicuous, but after that night, she suddenly changed her temperament, changed into a dress, and stood by Lu En's side as a female companion.
The female companion of the new Border Count has naturally received everyone's attention, especially since these people are quite well-informed, knowing that this beauty is actually a level 9 ancient dragon.
With all kinds of aura, coupled with the fact that she is indeed a genuine beauty, she quickly became sought after, and her popularity even quickly opened up in the social circle, and many people became more friendly to Lu En because of this.
Lu En has worked hard for half a month, and he has not yet appeared for two nights.
He couldn't help but sigh, no wonder many noble ladies and aristocratic ladies would choose to appear in the social arena, even if they didn't, most of them would let their husbands bring a beautiful courtesan.
It turns out that this trick really works.
It's just that unlike most courtesans, Kara spends most of her time by Lu En's side, doesn't go out to socialize at all, and has an arrogant and cold demeanor, even if someone comes up to talk, she rarely pays attention.
But what gave Lu En a headache was that it seemed to make the others more excited......
At this time, an old man of about sixty or seventy years old came over with a glass of wine, and smiled at Lu Enhaha: "Haha, Count Anlo...... Your female companions are still so attractive, and if I hadn't been old, I would have wanted to learn from them. ”
After speaking, he and Lu En both set their eyes not far away.
About ten meters away, Kara had been going to bring Lu En a drink, which was supposed to be done by the waiter, but she insisted on coming by herself, even though she was wearing a fancy evening dress.
Lu En gave him a simple salute and smiled, "Count Danan, I remember the last time we met, I heard that your seventeenth child was born, not like you said. ”
Earl Danan, whose fief is in the west of the imperial capital, is a serious earl, and there is a considerable gap between him and the border earl, so the other party has a certain respect for Lu En.
"Hey, that's not the same mentality, I'm not a high-level professional, I can't stay young at any time like you, I don't have the motivation to pursue new girls, I'd better leave it to the boys, but, when it comes to specific age, I'm afraid I'm still a little ghost in front of you~." Count Danan joked.
Lu En also laughed twice, but didn't continue the topic, he couldn't really admit that the other party's age was the time for Kara to take a nap, right?
The two of them continued to make small talk, and the topic still revolved around Kara.
Count Danan said kindly: "It's really beautiful, you see, she has a different temperament, and she has suppressed the limelight of those vases, and sure enough, no matter what the appearance is, in the final analysis, you still have to look at something deeper."
Lu En echoed: "That's true, but she's not to the point where you tout it, everyone just thinks it's fresh, and I don't think this one around you is worse than her." ”
Lu En looked at the noble lady behind him, she was the daughter of the earl, and she didn't know what rank she was, she was very beautiful, but she was very shallow in terms of knowledge and personality, and she was actually far worse than Kara.
But the other party seemed to be very useful, and said respectfully and happily: "I'm glad to hear you say that, my lord!" ”
After greeting Count Danan for a while, the two said goodbye, and another nobleman walked up.
Lu En fell into the communication with one nobleman after another, and this kind of superficial work is indispensable in the communication between nobles, and every detail is important.
This kind of communication is actually a process of testing each other.
The clothes and pendants on your body are judging your financial strength, talking nonsense to each other is observing your knowledge, boasting from all over the world is approving your vision, showing off your skills to each other is showing your strength, and etiquette and wording are to see your cultivation and city.
Every link is indispensable, otherwise you are a rough person, even if you have a knighthood, you will not enter the stream, you will be considered reckless, and many opportunities for cooperation will not choose you, and you may even be excluded by the social circle.
Many people think that the social circle of the aristocracy is not important, just a whole day of balls, drinking parties, and no serious business at all, but in fact, without entering this social circle, you can't talk to them about serious things at all.
I have to say that Carla's unique temperament and her excellent appearance do add a lot of charm to her, and some of the little nobles after talking to Lu En will also be attracted to Lydia to talk about it, although she doesn't like to pay attention to it, but this is also normal, not every woman who comes here is a courtesan, and the nobles are used to it.
At this moment, Lu En suddenly noticed something, he immediately said goodbye to the people around him, and walked all the way through the dance hall with a cup in his hand, and came to a nobleman who had just arrived.
This one was clearly not human, for it was a snake from the waist down, a pair of huge wings on its back, and its upper body was human, and it had a beautiful appearance, except that its tongue was forked and long, poking out from time to time.
"Good evening, Winged Serpent King, or shall I call you Viscount Lear?" He raised his glass to invite the monster in front of him.
After being in the social circle for so long, it's time to get down to business.
The patriarch of the Winged Serpent clan is collectively referred to as King XX on the human side, which means the leader of a certain monster tribe.
The one with huge wings and snake tail in front of him is the leader of the Winged Serpent clan and one of the members of the new nobles, Viscount Lear.
Male, the appearance is good-looking for humans, but the lower body is unacceptable.
"Good evening...... Count Angler, is there anything going on? "Viscount Lear was a little wary.
Lu En noticed that the other party deliberately did not call himself another title, the king of monsters, which must have been somewhat expected.
"There's nothing special, it's just the whole drinking party, only the two of us are monsters, so let's just come up and say something, there are so many human rules, it took me a long time to get used to it, what about you?" Lu En said kindly, as always, beating around the bush, after all, this is the way the nobles speak.
"Okay, there's something striking here, let's go sit upstairs and talk." Lil offered to offer.
On the first floor is the dining room and ballroom, with four long tables filled with food and drinks at will, and the tables surround the ballroom, in which are the dancing nobles.
Recommended, it's really good, it's worth pretending, after all, there are many sources, all books, and fast updates!
The second floor is a spiral staircase in the middle, where there are many tables and chairs for the people below to rest when they are tired.
Two people walked up, Lu En used it, but Lil flew up, and his wings were not ornaments.
"Count Elliot...... Why are you looking for me at this time, I'm just a small viscount, and I'm also a new nobleman, you are looking for me at this time, it's easy for me to be subjected to some undeserved suspicions, you are also a monster, you should know this feeling of walking on thin ice, the empire has not accepted us! As soon as he came up, he lowered his voice and said to Lu En very angrily.
"Of course, of course, I understand your concern, and I know why you have such concerns. The Winged Serpents aren't very strong, you don't have a good backer, and you're only level 7. Lu En stretched out his hand and with a few taps, a layer of hidden runes spread out from under his feet.
"Since you know, you shouldn't come to me, you're a high border count, someone who can wrestle with the duke, and there are two level 9s! The Winged Serpent doesn't want to get involved in any aristocratic struggle, we are not enough to stuff a family's teeth, no matter what your plan is, you shouldn't get involved with me and my people! The Winged Serpent King straightened up and prepared to leave.
"So, you're going to do that all the time? Trembling, and then one day because of a small mistake to exterminate the race, just like me before? Am I not a neutralist? Why was the Demon King City still destroyed? Lu En turned his head and looked at the Winged Serpent King.
"I can change all this, the monsters will have a place in the empire, before you didn't have a person who could lead, you didn't have high-end power, you didn't even have a level 9, but now it's different." Lu En said to the Winged Serpent King who was about to leave behind him.
"I'm not going to stand in line early!" But the Winged Serpent King replied directly, and at the same time he fell, and did not communicate with the others, as if he really came here just to have a meal.
Mingzhe protects himself, which seems to be very good in the short term, but in the end, there is only a dead end.
Lu En didn't expect to be able to win over one of them, and he didn't expect to be able to isolate the probe with a few runes that he could pretend to be.
Today's main purpose has been achieved, and that is to convey one's intentions.
Soon, the news should spread and reach the ears of others, which will certainly bring some resistance, but ...... Someone will come to the door.
The importance of social circles is reflected at this time.
Lu En drank the juice dry in one gulp and began to close his eyes to recuperate.
A few minutes later, Kara came up and sat down next to Luen.
"It's a frying pot underneath, I hear someone saying bad things about you, everyone is whispering, they don't hear you, but the winged snake king, the words he shouted loudly spread far away, even if people don't know what the master said, but they can guess a thing or two after listening to his words." Kara said to Luen.
"It's an idiot." Carla commented.
"No, I think he did it on purpose." This time, Lu En literally isolated the surrounding sounds and prying eyes, and leaned back in his chair relaxedly, letting Kara squeeze his shoulder.
"Deliberately?" Kara looked confused, but she figured it out right away.
"Look, it's exactly what you think." Lu En relaxed: "He doesn't have the courage and the courage to be a bird, so he simply took advantage of the time when he was scared and angry to announce the matter." ”
"In this way, he is not a bird, he will not be labeled as me, and he will publicize the matter and achieve my goal, so dependent, he will not be hated by me for rejecting me, and continue to maintain his neutrality perfectly, how can there be a fool who can be among the aristocratic class, everyone has his own little abacus." Lu En sighed, even if it was just an ordinary monster clan leader, it was still not so easy to take.
But since the other party is so cooperative to leak the news, then, those who have this idea and have the courage to do so will probably contact themselves secretly.
In the past half a month, at least more than half of the demon tribes have to be contacted, and there are about fifty tribes that are qualified to participate in the conference, and all of them have at least one level 7.
And among the top of these tribes, there are about a dozen, all of them have level 8 leaders, and some have multiple level 8, they must be contacted, and if they want to unite those monster forces that are on the edge of the empire, these are essential.
The position of these monster new aristocratic forces in the empire is quite awkward.
There is no doubt that they belong to the aristocracy, to the top of the entire imperial class, to enjoy fiefdoms, and to take the lives and deaths of the lower classes, including human commoners.
But on the other hand, for this empire that pays great attention to bloodline, their monster bloodline brings a lot of problems, at the very least, they can't really fit into this class because they are not pure-blood humans.
