Chapter 529: Political Prom (Part I)
The war has begun, but where there is no war, it is still possible to sing and dance, and even war is a kind of talking point in their mouths, which has to be said to be an alternative kind of indifference and indifference. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Noxus and Demacia are already at full war, and although they are still only focused on the defense of the fortress, expansion into other places is inevitable. In distant Zaun, they don't have to worry about war at all, and although Zaun can't escape the fate of war, the way they participate is not dangerous, for example, a gorgeous welcome ball.
It was the envoy of Noxus who was invited, but Ax was also one of the important guests, and as a representative of the "Void", Ax received no less courtesy than the envoy of Noxus.
"It's the first time I've worn such gorgeous clothes, but unfortunately, why do I feel so awkward?" Ax is a black dress, with some sapphires inlaid with the collar and cuffs on it, which looks low-key and mysterious, but unfortunately, although Ax looks very fond of it, it feels very twisted when he really wears it, as if his hands can only be put on both sides, and if he lifts it slightly, there will be a strong sense of restraint, so that Ax always twists his body.
"It's normal, it's a dress that's for balls, and it's considered rude to behave at balls, so it's designed this way, but for people who are used to fighting, it's a prison." Scarlett explained to Ax that today, she is Aix's dance partner and guide, and a blue evening dress will set off the already heroic Scarlett even more heroically, but what makes Ax a little dissatisfied is that this evening dress is a little too much cloth, and Scarlett is wrapped tightly, without revealing a trace of skin.
"Okay, I'll endure it today, but this is definitely the last time I'll go to the ball, and this kind of sin is really not human." Ax stopped moving, and was resigned to his fate.
Scarlett smiled slightly and said: "This is the price, it is glamorous in front of people, but behind it, there are all kinds of pain behind it, not to mention the gold and jade, it can be regarded as a swollen face and a fat man!" ”
"I didn't expect you to have such a philosophical time." Ax said quite unexpectedly, the first time he saw Scarlett, Ax thought that the other party was a teenager, full of heroism, and then found that the other party was very delicate, and he didn't expect to say such a thing today, which seemed to be very profound, and seemed to have experienced a lot, with vicissitudes that did not match his age.
"It's just a little emotional." Scarlett didn't want to continue the topic and ended the conversation directly, and the ball venue had already arrived.
The heavy wooden door was pushed open by two strong men in armor, and when Ax approached, he realized that it was two robots, although Zuan was chaotic, but the combination of technology and magic was definitely at the pinnacle of Valoran.
"Welcome to Master Aix."
As soon as Ax entered the door, a tall and thin old man walked over, also in a dress, but the other party was obviously used to wearing it, without any discomfort, and the action was very fast, Ax just heard the voice, the other party had already walked in front of him, and stretched out his hand.
"Hello, Professor Gerald." Aix stretched out his hand and shook it with the other party, this person is the president of the Zuan Science Association, and one of the real power figures of Zuan, in charge of the allocation and evaluation of funds for all of Zuan's experiments, it can be said that in Zuan, no one will offend him.
"Haha, it's really a heroic boy, I've heard all about your deeds, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." Gerald smiled and said, it was not as rigid as the average professor, but, then again, if he was rigid, it would not be possible to climb to his current position.
"It's over, I'm just a lucky person who was chosen by fate, and there's nothing special about it." Aix said with a smile, modest, polite, this is the feeling that Ax gives people, and it is completely different from the performance outside the door.
After a period of hypocritical politeness, Aix said goodbye to Professor Gerald and walked towards the room, where the Noxian envoy had arrived, and at this time, surrounded by a crowd of people, seemed to be talking about something.
Seeing Ax walk in, the Noxus envoy apologized to the people around him, and walked over to Aix, saying, "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you here, I'm the liaison between Noxus and Zaun this time, you can call me Viscount Lovell." ”
"Viscount?" The other party's title made Ax stunned, you know, before Ax came, Noxus had just undergone a purge of the old nobles, and now he actually saw a viscount in Zaun, and he was also an envoy of Noxus.
As a traditional ally of Noxus, the strategic relationship between the two can be said to be extremely close, and the liaison between Noxus and Zuan is not something that everyone can do, in addition to qualifications, as well as status and prestige. However, the fact that this Viscount Raffle was able to play this role in wartime shows that the other party is not simple.
"Yes, my title in Noxus is viscount, of course, I'm not an old nobleman, and as for titles, I prefer the word new noble." The other party obviously knew what Ax was thinking, and took the lead in explaining.
"Okay, it looks like you should know me, so you don't need me to introduce myself!" Aix shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Of course!" Lovell smiled slightly, then made a "please" gesture, and the two directly found a place to sit down, while the person next to him got up and left in a playful manner.
"How does it feel? This kind of political dance is very uncomfortable, isn't it? Viscount Lovell, apparently seeing Aix's awkwardness, asked with a smile.
Aix could only smile wryly and say, "If I can, I hope this is the last time." ”
"Young man, it's good to get used to it, I think you have to attend this kind of dance party often, and you will get used to it slowly." Raffle smiled knowingly, clearly understanding Aix's feelings.
"I know a little bit about you, but unfortunately, I can't help much, my mission this time is mainly to persuade Zuan to participate in the war as soon as possible, and if your mission goes well, it can help me a lot." Raffle said apologetically.
Lover is obviously very good at this kind of communication, although a conversation does not help Aix, but Aix still feels like a spring breeze, there is no unhappiness, the two of them are like old friends who have not seen each other for a long time, and they talk about a lot of things, but they just don't talk about the information they have.
