Chapter 188: Red Rose
The evening breeze is awe-inspiring, and the night cold has fallen.
“...... Right there. ”
"Oh, Xiexie!"
Call...... Don opened his mouth and let out a breath of white air, thanked the aunt who showed him the way, and took little Carlo's little hand and walked towards several brightly lit buildings.
That's where the gray army transmits its voice to the outside world -- the Propaganda Department.
The city publicized Jihua's victory in the first battle, and according to the old rules of the Gray Army, it was natural to celebrate. However, Weishenme has been postponed so far, and Tang En is not clear, and recently he has spent all his attention on asking Zofan to be an assistant teacher, and has hardly paid attention to the current situation in the station.
Probably the second wave of urban propaganda jihua has started...... Don speculated.
"Brother Tangen, we're coming here. Little Carol asked, looking up.
Tang En scratched his head: "Of course it is...... Come and eat something good. ”
"Oh. Little Carol nodded, looking a little expectant.
For parties, there will naturally be some snacks and desserts. But Don wasn't here just to bring little Carol to eat. To be honest, he had never been interested in any celebration party, and the reason why he came was only because of Losha's special invitation.
The person sent by Losha didn't say anything specific, but with Donne's understanding of her, it was estimated that there was something to help with. Tsk, in this case, I don't know if I can use this to get Zofan......
"Don?"
Just as Tang En was about to walk into the door of the Propaganda Department, a voice that seemed to be like a clear bell with a little doubt came from the side.
"Hi good evening, Josia. Don was so familiar with the owner of the voice that he waved hello before he could turn around.
"Hello Sister Josia!" little Carol nodded in greeting.
Josia, dressed in a white dress, trotted over. First, he touched Carol's soft hair: "Yes." Good evening little Carol. Then he got up. smiled at the corner of Don's mouth: "Hehe, it's really you? I remember you don't like such occasions?"
"It's not bad to come once in a while, you know, it's the most beautiful here. Don raised an eyebrow and made a joke.
"Ha, liar, I don't believe it. Josia slapped Donn on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Wronged people, isn't it. Don took a small step back. Exaggeratedly spread his arms, "Look, I'm lucky, I just ran into one!"
"Uh, haha......" Josia was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and let out a hearty laugh. As long as it is a woman, she will always like the voice that praises her.
"By the way, you're not cold, wear this ......," Donn said, gesturing at Josia.
It was a conservative long dress. However, the white jade forearm is still exposed, not to mention the skirt. How thick can it be.
Little Carol on the side pouted, as if she didn't agree with Donne's statement, she just thought the dress was beautiful.
"What do women wear if they don't wear this...... Besides, have you forgotten my profession?" said Josia with a smug face.
"Oh. Don patted his forehead and shook his head slightly, "I forgot that you were an ice magician." ”
The mage profession is already extremely sensitive to the external elements that belong to its own department, and Josia is now a mid-level ice mage, so he can naturally resist this level of cold.
"Alright, Don, let's go in first. ”
At this time, the number of people coming here gradually increased, and Josia stood at the gate and naturally attracted many eyes, so he proposed to go in first,
"Well, please first, beauty!" Don spread his hands and continued to laugh.
"Hey, you're ......" Joshia's jade face was flying, believing that if there weren't too many people here, there would be a small revenge. Glancing at Donne, he took little Carol's hand and walked into the door of the Propaganda Department first.
Donn chuckled, then followed. The killer's habit quickly swept around, there were no dazzling figures, but there were obviously more guards, probably because Losha was here.
As soon as I entered the gathering hall of the Propaganda Department, a warm current greeted me, and then various sounds also entered my ears one after another.
"Miss Josia......"
"Captain Josia ......"
"Oh, here comes our little Losha, hey, it's ......"
......
Josia's reputation is unquestionable, not to mention that it is also a propaganda department. So in the midst of all kinds of greetings, Josia looked at Don apologetically.
Don shrugged his shoulders, signaled that it was nothing, stepped back sideways, and watched Josia skillfully respond to all kinds of greetings with little Carol.
The layout of the hall is very simple and casual. There is a table of food and desserts, bottles and cans of wine, and some musical instruments next to it, and there are no fixed people to play, anyone can go up and improvise. As for the large space vacated in the middle, there are many people standing in the middle of the greetings, and it should be a place to dance after the party begins.
When Don was in Laiyan City, he had been to a few aristocratic banquets, and of course the situation here was not comparable. But just like that, the people in the hall were already very satisfied. You know, when there was no fixed place before, they all met in the open air.
The reason why the Gray Clothes Army holds frequent gatherings also has this consideration. In the cold winter months, campfires are not enough to warm people's bodies. But as long as you have a party and everyone gets together to sing and dance, you can quickly drive away the cold.
Looking around, the big names like Losha haven't arrived yet. Except for the people who went to Riva City with Josia to promote before, Don didn't know the others, so he found a corner at random and took something to fill his stomach first.
Because the party didn't officially start, most people chatted in groups. The content is certainly not like those businesses between the nobles and the like. It can be said that because they are in the barren mountains and can't see anything new, everyone chats about some recent interesting things, like the "Kong Ming Lantern" that Tang En made before, which was talked about by many people.
After a little observation, Don felt that he had not been wrong in his previous joke. There are so many women in the Propaganda Department......
It's no wonder that Don En is so emotional, and the fact is that there is no serious patriarchal thinking in another world, and it is very common for women to come out to do things. Even in the armies of the Grey Army, there were teams made up of women. But because there are not too many people. There is no formal establishment. Therefore, there are few opportunities to play. But if you want to ask which of all the departments of the Gray Army has the most women. That is undoubtedly the Propaganda Department.
It is also conceivable that the gray army takes the civilian route, and women in this class rarely have the opportunity to be exposed to fighting spirit and fighting, so civilian jobs like the Propaganda Department are undoubtedly more popular with them.
Men and women match, work is not tired, this is a universal truth. In addition, there are no rules prohibiting love in the gray army, so there are men and women in a department. The opportunity to be close to the water is not to be missed.
Donn's observation was so sharp, some young men and women who seemed to be talking quietly from a distance, the emotions in their eyes were easily captured by him. Tsk, it's really a department of love......
However, despite this, Don still found that most of the young men present looked at Josia in the crowd from time to time.
Beautiful, intelligent, unconcealable unique temperament, noble status of a magician...... No matter where it is, so to speak. Josia will be the focus.
It is precisely because of this, although Josia has always been mild. But most of the young people just looked at it with admiration, and few of them mustered up the courage to come forward to say hello.
Don's gaze didn't fall on Josia at this time, of course, because of the surrounding figures, he couldn't see it if he wanted to. He was frowning at little Carlo...... Although there were many people who greeted each other cordially, little Carol still had that cold expression, and her little face was tense, unmoved.
In fact, Don discovered this very early on, except for himself and a limited number of acquaintances, little Carol almost never had contact with outsiders, let alone coquettishness, smiles, etc., which Frey and the others rarely saw.
At first, Don only thought that little Carol was stimulated by the previous tragedy, and he would be haode later. But after a few months, little Carlo's symptoms did not lessen, but seemed to get used to it.
Don didn't want little Carol to be silent all day like Zuofan, child, then he had to look like a child, so he had recently begun to change this situation, and taking her to the party was one of them. But in the current situation, it has little effect......
Scratching his head, Don is not an impatient person, but he really has no experience in taking care of and nurturing children, and it is even more impossible to hand it over to others to take it, you must know that little Carol is not even willing to live with Josia.
It's nerve-wracking......
"Hehe, you like Miss Josia too?"
Just as Don was grabbing his hair and frowning and thinking, a slightly sharp voice came from beside him. Turning his head, a young man with a wine glass and a little freckle on his face sat down.
"Don't think about it, it's useless. The young man with freckles on his face followed Donn's gaze, looked at Josia in the crowd, and shrugged, "It's not just by thinking of some novel ways to move the other party and please him, and ...... Hehe, even if Miss Josia is not a person who values appearance, status, etc., the people around her will not let you get around easily. ”
Don raised his eyebrows: "You misunderstood ......"
"Misunderstanding?hehe, there's no need to hide it, which man here doesn't want to be with Josia?" chuckled twice, the young man patted Don on the shoulder, and then pointed to the crowd, "See that person?" On Josia's left, the man who deliberately put on an elegant and reserved face but couldn't hide his arrogant lust. ”
This describes...... Tang En squinted and nodded, which was appropriate.
"His name is Quincy, and he is the nephew of Propaganda Minister Quinwell, and the few around him are also a bit of a background. Well, now you know what I mean. ”
Tang En nodded suddenly, there is such a thing as identity and status, it is possible for a few people to get together, not to mention the gray army that has been formed into a collective at the moment. It may not be a privilege to do now, but it is a real place for others. Thinking of this, he turned his head: "Then why don't you go and try it?"
Although the scope of this celebration banquet was for internal personnel of the Propaganda Department, it did not prevent some people from entering through other means. For example, Don himself, and the unattractive young man in front of him. The reason for this judgment is that people in the Propaganda Department often add the suffix of regiment commander when addressing Josia.
"I, hehe, I'm called self-aware. The young man laughed, then pointed to the freckles on his face with self-deprecation, "Of course, it can be understood as inferiority." ”
"Haha......" Tang En laughed twice when he heard this, this young man is a wonderful person.
"Tell me about it. The young man raised his glass, "Fei Rui!"
Wow -
At that moment, there was a commotion in the distance, as if a beehive had exploded.
Don turned his head to look, and through the gap in the crowd, he saw a red rose held up in front of Josia. The person who sent it couldn't see it, but judging by the previous position, it should be that Quincy.
"This kind of occasion...... What an idiot!" Fei Rui beside him obviously saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh.
When the words fell, he felt that the corners of his eyes were dark, and the person next to him suddenly stood up, and then the wine glass that he did not take back was knocked lightly.
"Donne!"
Dawn...... Before Fairy could recover from the somewhat familiar name, he saw that Don had taken a sip of the wine, then dropped the glass and strode towards the middle of the field, which was the crowd where Josia was...... (To be continued.) )
