Sure enough, it came!

Looking at the young man who couldn't help but jump out sarcastically, Carl couldn't help but perk up and laughed secretly. There is no shortage of people with pink eye anywhere, not to mention a high-end ball like Lady Loris, where you can become famous in one fell swoop as long as you attract a small amount of attention, and it is even more stared at by countless people.

Whether it is out of real interests or out of the instinct of being light-hearted, it is really normal for someone to jump out and want to be a villain to suppress and ridicule him.

Carl secretly cheered up, but on the surface, he made a look of ignoring this jumping out of the dragon trick, bowed slightly, and said politely like the "Laurel Crown" lady of the gladiolus family: "It is my honor to be appreciated by the beautiful and wise 'Laurel Crown'! But recently the inspiration has been dedicated to the esteemed Lady Loris! I am afraid that I will not be able to serve you for the time being, I hope you can understand!"

"I accept your apologies!"

Miss Laurel Crown's eyes flowed with a thick smile, and with a little sly and a little playfulness, she said: "Poets and artists always have a little privilege in the lady's place, but you must not delay it too long, unless you think that my beauty is not enough to inspire you!"

Miss Laurel Corolla's kindness and importance to Carl immediately aroused the jealousy and envy of the men around her. Even though they knew that Miss Melissa was so kind and kind to some of the most talented people, they still couldn't suppress their naked jealousy.

And the young man who followed behind Lady Loris couldn't help but say: "The more connotative art is, the more it doesn't need superfluous decorations, and only mediocre and vulgar works will need gorgeous decorations to attract attention." ”

It makes sense, but it's useless! Most women really only care about the external decoration!

Karl laughed secretly in his heart, but only then did he look at the young man who jumped out, deliberately made a surprised expression, and said: "Why do you think like this?

"Hmph, really good art is a work that can move people's hearts, and it attracts attention with flashy decorations, but it is just the clumsy skill of a vulgar vendor!"

The young man who jumped out snorted coldly, looking haughty in disdain for arguing with Carl.

"Why do you think that?"

Karl keenly grasped the loophole in the young man's words, and deliberately said loudly: "Why can't we pay equal attention to the connotation of art and the beauty of appearance? Just like all the beautiful ladies and young ladies, even though they are naturally beautiful, incomparably beautiful, and have a kind, benevolent, pure, and noble soul, this does not mean that they dress themselves up more beautiful and more charming!"

"In the days of the ancient Losta Empire, it was believed that a healthy body was as important as a noble soul, and that physical beauty was as important as the purity of the soul. And in the virtues of knighthood and the teachings of the Church, elegant manners, proper dress, and strict grooming are the outward manifestations of one's virtues, and the outward manifestation of the inner beauty of oneself, so why should we refuse?"

Karl's polite words immediately aroused the favor of the ladies around him, and they all cast appreciative glances - mainly this Mr. Karl was handsome, outstanding, and elegant, and he was so charming when he talked eloquently.

The young man who jumped out suddenly realized that his cross-examination and criticism had not only not hurt Carl, but had made Carl the center of attention, and he was about to open his mouth to retort, but was interrupted by the smile of Miss Melissa of the Laurel Crown.

"What a good point, Mr. Roland!"

Miss Melissa smiled softly, looked at Karl with appreciation, and said, "Beauty knows not only inside and outside, but a good work should also be decorated with beauty worthy of its connotation." But since this gentleman is questioning your work, why don't you have him reciting it?"

At this point, Miss Melissa turned to Lady Loris, and said with a smile, "What do you think, Lady Loris? Before the ball begins, let every lady and gentleman enjoy the poems that your poet has written for you!"

The young man who jumped out suddenly turned ugly. The ball of the aristocracy, for those of high status, may also be a place for dancing and socializing. But for those young people who are ambitious and ambitious, and who want to climb up, the impromptu competition before the prom, improvisation, improvisation, and improvisation are the most noteworthy places.

Karl also understood that in this world, which is similar to the feudal system of the Western medieval aristocracy, there is no promotion mechanism such as the Eastern imperial examination, and ordinary commoners can only rely on the appreciation, promotion and recommendation of nobles if they want to improve their status and class.

And the impromptu competitions, improvisations, and recitations that will be held before every dance party have become a rare opportunity for knights, musicians, and poets to show their talents.

"Miss Melissa, I would be jealous of you complimenting my knight to my face!"

Lady Loris first nodded slightly to Karl, then showed a charming smile, and said, "Mr. Karl, is not only a brilliant poet, he is also a glorious knight, an erudite scholar, he is the guest of honor I have invited today, and I would like to solemnly introduce you to the newcomer!"

"Oh?"

Miss Melissa showed a surprised expression just right, and then glanced at Karl again, showing a look of regret and regret, and said in a somewhat joking tone: "Do you want to be Mr. Roland's guide and protector? It's so enviable, I'm thinking of inviting Mr. Roland to my salon!"

The young man who jumped out was jealous. But Carl couldn't help but look at this lady with a laurel crown in surprise, and didn't understand why she valued and helped herself so much when they met for the first time.

You know, the so-called aristocratic circles, the so-called upper class, have always been closed and conservative. If you want to enter this circle, you have to have someone to recommend and guide you. The so-called guide and protector are a set of default unspoken rules formed in the social circle of the aristocracy for countless years.

If a nobleman or a person of high class is optimistic about a new person and wants to bring him into the circle, a ball or party is held, and the person is solemnly pushed out, and the whole circle is announced, "This person belongs to me." In this way, the recommended person will be accepted into the whole circle and can participate in intimate gatherings in various circles.

Obviously, today's ball, although it was a big one, was not held exclusively for Carl. After all, Carl and Lady Loris have only met once, and they are not too pretentious, even if Lady Loris is optimistic about Carl's talent, it is impossible to make such a hasty decision.

However, Miss Melissa of Laurel Corolla took the initiative to show favor to Carl, with the posture of a talented and beautiful woman who sees a hero, but invisibly raised Carl's value, and even made Mrs. Loris have to make a decision to decisively declare Carl to be the protected person in her circle to avoid being poached by Miss Melissa.

However, Karl could only laugh and cry at Miss Melissa's kindness. Lady Loriss is his guide and protector, then he will be marked with a strong mermaid family in the future, which is inconsistent with his original intention of maintaining his independence and trying not to get involved in the whirlpool of the struggle between the mermaid family and the Wave Trident family.
