Chapter 42: The Ball
Hearing Zhao Xin's question, Osman thought for a while and said, "It's okay to tell you about this matter. That was 30 years ago, when I was out training alone and fighting a powerful monster, but I overestimated my strength and was forced by that monster to retreat. Then at this time, a man dressed in strange clothes appeared and saved my life by defeating the monster with what you said was called a bazooka.
I think when he expressed his gratitude, he found that we didn't speak the same language, and the other person didn't speak the same dialect as anywhere on the mainland. And he was seriously injured at the time, so I had to bring him back and try to treat him, but unfortunately I didn't save his life. β
Osman paused, then continued with a look of remembrance, "He appeared with two Rods of Destruction, aka bazookas. After his death, I put one of them in his tomb, and the other was dedicated to the royal palace, the one that had been stolen before. That's how it happened. β
"According to what you say, that person appeared 30 years ago, but according to his clothes and weapons, it should have been about 70 years ago in my time, is there such a huge time difference between the two worlds?" After listening to Osman's words, Zhao Xin lowered his head and muttered to himself.
"I don't know much about this, after all, there are many things I don't have time to understand because of the language barrier. However, since the history of the continent, there have always been so-called things from other worlds that have been summoned, or suddenly appear on the continent, and then be discovered by people, and some will be treasured. If you're interested, you can try to find out. Osman slowly explained to Zhao Xin, "What's the matter, are you looking for a way to return to your own world?" β
"I haven't thought much of it," Zhao Xin scratched his head and replied, "Because I've encountered something from my world once before, I want to investigate a little more." I've been babbling for a long time, Dean Ottoman, Mr. Kirbel, so I'll quit first. β
"Uh-huh, have fun at the banquet in the evening." Osman also said to Zhao Xin with a smile on his face, but after Zhao Xin left, his expression gradually became serious, "Gangdarulf is in another world, is there any inevitable connection between the two?" β
Leaving the dean's room, Zhao Xin returned to his residence, and when he entered the door, he found that Louise had fallen asleep under the covers.
"It seems that this day is too tiring." walked to the bedside, helped Louise fix the bangs on her forehead, and looked at the girl's quiet and quiet sleeping posture, Zhao Xin's heart couldn't help but calm down, "Have a good rest, there is a celebration banquet waiting for you at night." β
In the middle of the night, Louise woke up yawning, and Zhao Xin, who had wanted to wait for Louise to go to the banquet hall together, was kicked out by Louise on the grounds that she should not interfere with the lady's dress, so she had to take De Fllinger and set off to the banquet hall alone.
When Zhao Xin came to the banquet hall, he found that there were already a lot of people gathered here. Looking at the black swordsman suit he had bought with the gold at the bottom of the box, Zhao Xin suddenly felt that he was really out of place here.
And just when Zhao Xin was hurting his brain, a waiter came over and said to Zhao Xin, "It's Mr. Zhao Xin." β
"You are?"
"That's right, Dean Osman instructed that if you didn't have a formal suit when you came, let me take you to the middle of the room to choose a suitable outfit."
It's really worthy of being an old Jianghu who has lived for so long, although he doesn't care, but this is Louise's celebration party, Zhao Xin thought for a while and said to the waiter: "Since that's the case, I've bothered you for so long." β
"Then please let me do it."
Following the waiter to the inner room, Zhao Xin saw that it was full of all kinds of gorgeous costumes.
"These colorful ones don't suit me too much," Zhao Xin said as he picked out a black outfit that was closest to the Western-style formal wear on the planet, "Just choose this one." β
After changing his clothes, Zhao Xin stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself: "It's quite decent to wear a formal suit~"
After Zhao Xin's body has been continuously washed by magic power, it can be said that the proportions are very perfect, with a height of nearly one meter eight and the temperament after practicing the sword, no one will doubt it when he puts on a noble costume and runs out to cheat and cheat.
Rejecting the waiter's suggestion, Zhao Xin walked into the banquet hall with De Fllinger, who was out of step with his own outfit, where students dressed in gorgeous costumes gathered and talked in low voices, and the long tables in the hall were filled with delicious food and wine, and the waiters walked through the crowd with plates.
"It's the first time I've attended such an aristocratic banquet." After picking something to eat on the table, Zhao Xin took De Fllinger to the balcony and chatted with Deflinger while eating in the moonlight.
"Isn't there a banquet like this anywhere in your world?" De Fllinger asked.
"Well, I can't say that I don't have it, it's just that I can't reach it at my level." Zhao Xin shook his head and said, "I have participated in a banquet once, and it was a banquet held by the whole town after I won the championship in a regional competition. β
"Oh? Tell me about your world! De Fllinger was immediately interested.
Seeing that Louise hadn't come yet, Zhao Xin also followed De Fllinger's wish and began to tell him about his travel in the elf world and his participation in the league competition.
As Zhao Xin spoke, he answered De Vellinger's questions, and when he was just talking about his experience in the wilderness, he heard a voice in the hall: "The granddaughter of the Duke of VariΓ¨res, Miss Louise FranΓ§oise Lou Brown du la ValliΓ¨re is here!" β
After Zhao Xin heard this, he put De Fllinger and walked into the hall, and saw Louise slowly walking into the venue in a pink and white dress, and the long hair she was wearing was also tied up behind her head, and there was a little more charm in the cuteness of the whole person.
Many of the boys on the field were amazed by Louise's dress and came forward to pay their respects, but Louise did not respond to any of them, but looked around, as if looking for something.
"It doesn't seem to be very good to change clothes, have the character images been fixed?" Zhao Xin, who sighed, walked through the crowd and walked up to Louise, "Louise, you're dressed up very beautifully tonight." β
Seeing Zhao Xin change into formal clothes and appear in front of her, Louise didn't expect it, and said in surprise: "Why are you wearing this dress?" β
"Well, there's a kind old man who has been very helpful." As he spoke, he walked to the side with Louise, "What's the matter, isn't it pretty?" I'm still a little confident in my appearance. β
Looking at Zhao Xin, who seemed to have changed into a different person after changing into aristocratic clothes, Louise said with a slightly red face: "Well, it's quite suitable for you."
"Really? That's good. At that moment, the lights in the hall dimmed and replaced them with pale yellow lights one notch lower, and soothing music sounded in the room.
Seeing that everyone started dancing with their dance partners, Zhao Xin turned his head and found that Louise was staring at him intently, as if she was expecting something.
"It's rare to have such a good atmosphere." Zhao Xin smiled, bent down and stretched out his hand to Louise, and said, "Beautiful lady, will Yuanhe dance with me?" β
Seeing that Zhao Xin wanted to send out an invitation by herself, Louise's face flashed with a blush: "Hmph, since you have been invited like this, then I will reluctantly dance with you~" Then he handed his right hand up and put it on Zhao Xin's hand.
With Louise with them, the two slowly danced to the music in a corner of the venue.
"It's good that I learned a little bit of ballroom dancing before, otherwise I wouldn't have the face to invite you, Louise." While recalling the dance steps he learned in school, Zhao Xin whispered to Louise.
"It's okay if you can't jump, I can teach you." Feeling Zhao Xin's hand on his waist, and whether it was a faint breath, Louise's face slowly turned red, "By the way, there is something I want to ask you." β
"Huh?"
Looking at the man in front of her, Louise asked nervously, "Do you want to go back?" β
