149: Dinner
As night fell, a dinner party was held in the manor, which was prepared in advance to welcome Elena, but at this time the identity of the protagonist changed.
Champagne, food, dancing, music, compared to dinner parties elsewhere on the mainland, Anilu City is relatively more extravagant, especially for women.
They were not wearing the fluffy one-piece dresses of other cities, but shapewear dresses that accentuated their figures, and most of them were bare-shouldered or suspenders, or backless, exposing large areas of skin on their bodies.
Unfortunately, compared to the inland, the women's complexion here is not too beautiful, very few are white, and most of them tend to be bronze, probably because the coastline here is relatively broad.
Roshi has attended many banquets, but this is the first time that Nicole has been in this kind of entertainment in the human world, and she is full of curiosity about everything.
She and Roshi, who are also interested in the food of the human world, have tasted everything from the top of the long table to the end of the long table, from the sweet multi-layered cake to the salty caviar, in addition to the human songs are also a point that attracts Nicole.
In this banquet, Clooney specially invited the best singers from the Western Seas, and sang a few of the more famous tunes in the Northland continent.
When the song started, Nicole was immediately fascinated, and her mouth, which had not stopped, was holding the plate at this time, staring at it for a long time.
Roshi is a little strange, after all, the mermaid's singing voice is famous in the world, and each of them is an excellent singer, so it stands to reason that there should be few songs that can attract them.
After asking, I learned that the mermaid's singing voice is good only because it is mixed with their innate spiritual spells, in fact, compared with the arrangement and melody composition, the human world with a splendid civilization is still insufficient.
"Our people have actually spent most of their time replenishing Wang Zhu's water element, and since he can remember, this is the only thing we can do, what we have to do. ”
When she said this, Nicole kept staring at the loud singer on the stage, her big beautiful eyes full of envy and yearning.
Although each mermaid has a natural fascination with singing, more often than not, they can only sing a short part to relieve themselves in between replenishing Wang Zhu's water element.
The only places they could perform on stage were the older, high-ranking merfolk, and the place where they sang was not a stage under the brilliant lights, but a battlefield that was about to start killing, and the target was also those humans or other creatures who had strayed into the mermaid sea, with the purpose of luring them into the center of the net.
"Envy, the singer?" Roshi asked, looking at her look
"Sort of. Nicole nodded.
"It's easy to do. After a brief thought, Rosie put down the plate in his hand, grabbed Nicole's hand and walked forward, and said, "You come with me." ”
"Hey, where are you going, Roshi?"
"Since you want to sing, go up and sing. ”
"It's... It's not very good... I..."Nicole looked a little at a loss, and some expectations and a little worried, hesitantly said: "No, I don't have the qualifications to sing yet, and those who can sing on behalf of the merfolk must be the best of the mermaids... I'm going to be laughed at..."
Roshi patted her on the shoulder, interrupted her to continue, and gave her a big smile: "Why do you want to do so much, just do what you like." ”
Afraid of being laughed at?
Regardless of Nicole's voice, she has heard it, and it is definitely not inferior to the singer above, but in terms of appearance, it is several streets away from this bronzed, thick-skinned, thick-lipped and elderly singer.
What's more...
Even if he really can't sing well, Roshi really hasn't seen who is the kind of honest warrior who dares to expose lies and has a fearless spirit...
Nicole went up, facing the countless pairs of eyes gathered below, obviously a little stage frightened when she was unprepared, and even a little overwhelmed when standing on the stage.
However, Elena and Clooney are both experienced old fritters, and before the crowd whispered, they stood up in time, and the atmosphere was calmed down by two light-hearted conversations.
There were a lot of people in the banquet hall, most of them had just arrived, and they didn't necessarily know the faces of Roshi and Nicole, but they definitely knew Clooney and Elena, who had an outstanding temperament.
When he spoke for Nicole at the same time, he basically understood what was going on, and naturally no one dared to laugh at Nicole's stage fright at this time, and they all responded with friendly smiles and encouraging eyes.
With everyone's encouragement, Nicole, who had hesitated for a long time, finally spoke, at the beginning, because of excessive nervousness, her voice trembled slightly, but her naturally excellent voice still ushered in a lot of attention, and there was a layer of encouraging applause in the venue.
After singing a while, Nicole gradually entered the state, and when the melody entered a climax, the unique piercing ethereal voice completely pulled the audience.
The sound of applause suddenly disappeared, the quiet pin drop could be heard in the venue, the graceful and beautiful song matched her beautiful and moving appearance, and the crystal light of thousands of candles sprinkled down as if a dazzling veil was draped for her, making her so flawless at this moment.
"Click! Click!"
After a long time after the song ended, the venue resumed its previous enthusiasm, and the enthusiasm was like ocean waves, and it was sent to the stage one after another.
Smiling a little shyly, Nicole ran off the stage and trotted over to Rosie.
She said happily, "Roshi, I didn't let you down, did I?"
Seeing her stunned appearance, Luo Xi felt the need to suppress it, so he shook his head and said shamelessly: "No, it's almost almost catching up with my level." ”
"Ah, so you can sing too?" Nicole was convinced, her eyes widened in surprise, and she yelled for Rosie to go on stage.
Luo Xi hurriedly shook his head, how could his talent, which carried the essence of the earth's brilliant civilization for thousands of years, the sixth set of broadcast gymnastics and space dance steps, be easily revealed?
"Alright. Roshi cut off Nicole's invitation, shook his head and smiled evilly: "Let's do something else, something that only a male nobleman and a female lady can do, and it is also an indispensable part of the aristocratic banquet." ”
"What?" Nicole's eyes widened curiously, "Isn't that interesting?"
Roshi nodded: "It doesn't get any better than this." ”
As he spoke, Luo Xi rotated his arm in front of him twice, and at the same time bent down slightly, handed a hand to Nicole and said, "Miss Nicole, can I have the honor to invite you to a dance?"
