294, a friend of a friend
"Does the dress not fit?" Li Xiang looked at Sun Xiaoyu, who was sitting opposite, twisting his waist or shrugging his shoulders from time to time along the way, with an uncomfortable expression, and finally couldn't help but ask with concern. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Oh? No, it fits perfectly. It's just ......" Sun Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then replied: "I really don't get used to this thing, I really don't know why the aboriginal women of the Iber world wear this kind of thing - wearing this thing makes me feel like a mummy wrapped in a shroud." ”
"Don't you get used to wearing a corset?" Li Xiang said suddenly when he heard this. "Could it be because you've recently gained weight from gluttony desserts...... Uh-uh. ”
Before he finished speaking, Li Xiang suddenly snorted and bent down to cover his calves.
Sun Xiaoyu retracted the foot that kicked Li Xiang's calf to face the bone, and glared at the other party with a look of shame. The latter, on the other hand, struggled with the sharp pain in his leg bones, and there was really no extra place on his face to put on a guilty look.
Under such circumstances, Yang Qianyu, who was sitting next to Li Xiang and facing Sun Xiaoyu, still had an unwavering expression, as if he hadn't seen the farce that happened in the carriage.
Or maybe it's because I've seen a lot of scenes like this, so I don't feel anything new or surprised.
"Anyway, Qian Yu, are you going to wear this outfit to visit?" After kicking Li Xiang hard, Sun Xiaoyu, who had recovered slightly, looked at Yang Qianyu and asked.
Compared with Sun Xiaoyu, who wore a purple dress with a moon-white shawl, and Li Xiang, who wore a silver-gray tuxedo, the dress style worn by Yang Qianyu was very different from the dress style of the Iber world.
The dress Yang Qianyu wore was almost exactly the same as the style he wore in the inheritance god costume, with a pure black body and a standing collar placket, but the hidden embroidered landscape and cloud patterns on the clothing were embroidered with gold and silver threads, which looked tasteful.
"Although it seems to be a bit maverick, it still meets the standard of the dress, and it will not be rude to attend formal occasions." Yang Qianyu could see that the reason why Sun Xiaoyu asked himself was to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere caused by the previous farce and tried to find a topic, but he didn't have any bad intentions to expose it, but talked to the other party quite cooperatively. "Moreover, in order to cope with possible conflict situations, preparing such a set of clothes that is almost the same as the style of the inheritance god costume can better play a role in disguise."
"Dealing with conflict?" Li Xiang was relieved from the pain in his calf bone at this time, and asked suspiciously, "Do you think we will encounter any problems when we visit Kasha this time?" ”
"I don't think so." Yang Qianyu said: "But we will definitely have more social work in the future, in order to deal with the unpleasant events that occur in this situation, I think it is necessary to make some preparations in advance." ”
"Maybe." Li Xiang shrugged his shoulders and expressed his reason for accepting Yang Qianyu. "But I think you sometimes think too much."
"It's better than having nothing to do about it." Yang Qianyu responded lightly.
Time passed in this way, and about an hour later, Li Xiang and the others arrived at Kasha's mansion in the county town.
"Welcome to all three. Mr. Li Xiang, Mr. Yang Qianyu, Ms. Sun Xiaoyu. ”
Receiving Li Xiang and the three at the main entrance of the mansion was the housekeeper who was in charge of the property of the Leopold family in Breitnia, a man in his fifties and a slightly fat physique.
"Hello, Deacon Charles." Li Xiang nodded slightly to the housekeeper of the Leopold family who came to receive him. "We have come to visit at the invitation of the Count."
"The Earl has already commanded, please come with me." Butler Charles smiled in response, then turned to lead the way for the trio. The group strolled to the living room of the mansion.
After turning the two corridors, a pleasant sound of the piano came to everyone's ears, and the sound of the piano was soothing and pleasant, and it was intoxicating to listen to.
"Is the Earl here?" Yang Qianyu asked Deacon Charles, who led the way.
The place where the sound of the piano came from was the meeting room, the place where the people were going.
"The Earl is entertaining some of her old friends." Deacon Charles replied.
"Since the Earl is here, do we need to avoid it?" Li Xiang asked beside him.
"This, Lord Earl has instructed, if a few people come to visit, just take it directly from the bottom to the living room." Deacon Charles replied respectfully.
Li Xiang and the three of them didn't say anything more when they heard this--since Kasha would arrange two groups of guests to meet, she must have made her own arrangements. As a guest, it is common sense for the guest to follow the host, and it is good to go with the flow.
After passing through a corridor again, Deacon Charles, who was leading the way, pushed open a carved double door, and his eyes suddenly opened up again.
The meeting room was used by Kasha to entertain some close friends, and it was a little smaller, but it was a little more empty than the one that entertained ordinary guests. Reliefs, murals, statues, carpets, ornaments, etc., are all exquisite and elegant, which is nothing, but it is especially rare that these many decorations are mixed together and are still in harmony with each other, which can not help but show the ingenuity of the designer.
Li Xiang and the other three stood at the door of the living room, only to see a performer playing the harp by the floor-to-ceiling window on one side of the living room. Kasha and a few other guests sat down and listened.
Deacon Charles, who was in charge of leading the way, just wanted to open his mouth to report to Kasha, but was silently stopped by Li Xiang.
The performers did not seem to be affected by Li Xiang and the others who suddenly entered the room, and the music played was not chaotic at all. With the light movement of those slender fingers, the beautiful and intoxicating musical notes rippled in the hall like flowing water, like the beauty of the wonder of the fountain bubbling out of the moonlight, filled with a poetic atmosphere, and warmly washed the listener's heart.
"Drow?" Yang Qianyu keenly saw the slender pointed ears that loomed out of the performer's long hanging hair, and said unconsciously.
In addition to humans, there are many subhuman races in the world of Iber (races with absolutely obvious human characteristics are subhuman races, and races with obvious characteristics such as centaurs, half-human deer, half-antelope, or wild boar people, kobolds, and gnolls are humanoid races), the most common of which are Drow people (characterized by slender pointed ears), Wensi people (wings on their backs, able to fly), Tsw people (with gills and can breathe in water), and Furner people (with terrestrial beast characteristics, such as animal ears, tails, fangs, etc.). Of course, it is said to be common, but in fact, it is still very rare in the four kingdoms dominated by humans. Most of these subhuman races live in other realms outside the four kingdoms of mankind, and even those who live in the four kingdoms are almost always in a state of seclusion.
At least before today, Li Xiang and the three of them had not really met any of them face-to-face.
At the end of the song, applause rang out, and everyone present praised the outstanding skills of the performers. The drow who played the harp stood up and bowed to the audience.
"Old friend, I haven't seen you for many years, but your skills are still so good." Kashya praised without hesitation. "It's not the first time I've heard you play, but it's still irresistible."
In the face of Kasha's praise, the Drow who performed smiled slightly, and said softly: "Old friend, it seems that you have invited other guests today. ”
"Ah, yes, yes." Kasha had already noticed the arrival of Li Xiang and the others, and when he heard this, he took the opportunity to introduce him: "Some of you present on the side are my old friends, and some are my new friends. Since we are all friends of friends, it is naturally wonderful to get to know each other and become friends. ”
