Lord of Rot

Chapter 378 Red Rose Engagement (Page 12)

After several brief exchanges, Li Qi and Baron Sparks briefly exchanged friendly intentions.

He doesn't want to be able to buy iron ore at a low price, as long as he is willing to sell more iron ore to himself.

There are too many places where iron is used in territorial development.

Before the ball started, it was a social gathering place for the nobles.

When Baron Sparks and others left to change places to talk, Li Qi had doubts in his heart. This was a dance for young people. What were a group of middle-aged and elderly lords doing here?

They can give 'Red Rose' a birthday gift, and the best way is to give it to everyone, just like Li Qi's uncle didn't come when it was his birthday.

The whole party had a strange atmosphere.

Li Qi walked to the table in the corner, sat down, and poured himself a glass of wine.

The red pulp of the wine was like blood, poured into a silver wine glass with exquisite patterns carved on it, and swayed with the flick of his wrist.

He was a little regretful that he could not see the porcupine wine, but he also knew that if high-alcohol distilled wine appeared at the banquet, most of the people present would not be able to support the start of the dance.

"Wine is also a way to make money. In the desert, make money..."

"Creak-" The chair next to it was suddenly pulled away.

A dwarf pulled out a chair and climbed up with difficulty sticking his butt out.

"Huh, this place is really unfriendly to dwarfs. Can you pour me a glass of wine?" He looked at Li Qi.

Li Qi raised his hand to pick up the wine glass, poured a glass of wine and placed it in front of him.

"Thank you" the dwarf took the wine glass: "I like the look in your eyes. In your eyes you don't think I am an ugly dwarf."

"No" Li Qi shook his head: "Your ugliness is an objective phenomenon. I don't want to say how handsome you are against your will, but appearance does not represent a person. It should be said that except for those beautiful ladies at this banquet, no one wants to Others judge themselves based on their beautiful and ugly appearance.”

What men need to be evaluated is glory, strength, wealth, cruelty, fear, greed. In short, it is definitely not beauty or ugliness. If you evaluate a successful man based solely on beauty and ugliness, they will only be angry.

"Your frankness makes me sad." The dwarf raised his glass to Li Qi: "But it also makes me want to give you a toast. I like your equality."

Li Qi didn't raise the cup. How could he not recognize the other party's iconic height?

Lele Lu, the 'dwarf' from the Tuna family, is a successful businessman.

As a knight of the Tuna family, he can own 8 merchant ships. The dwarf has made great contributions.

By the way, there are only 3 ships left.

The dwarf was not embarrassed and took a sip of wine by himself: "I like the porcupine collar very much. It's orderly, except there is no brothel."

Li Qi said: "Compared with Sir Marvin Simon, you are not a strong competitor. If you really want to open a brothel, I will give priority to him for cooperation."

"We all like Spark Baron," the dwarf said, and turned around to search for Spark Baron. After confirming that the other party was chatting with a lady on the other side, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Making fun of a lord was enough to get him punished, but he wasn't even a knight.

"I came to you actually for one thing," the dwarf looked at Li Qi and said with a serious expression.

"please say."

At least compared to His Royal Highness the prince who is the boss and the ostrich knight with a constipated expression on his face, the dwarf's attitude is not bad.

"I got a new snake girl," he said, "the one with a forked tongue. I want to sell it to you for some money."

"..." Li Qi looked at him quietly.

After a while, Li Qi asked: "How much?"

"50 Golden Days," the dwarf said, "She is a hot commodity. I didn't even agree to the golden stallion's offer to buy her. You will definitely fall in love with her at the first sight of her."

"I want it!" Li Qi said.

He only said he wanted it, but had no intention of giving him any money.

He felt at ease because he was relying on the Water Monkey for his money.

The dwarf didn't know that someone was going to default on his debt. He said happily: "I will have her sent to your escort."

Li Qi nodded. If someone gave it to him for free, of course he would take it.

The two did not communicate anymore, and the dwarf seemed to have completely forgotten his purpose of coming to Li Qi. He sat quietly, occasionally pouring a glass of wine.

Until it was dark outside, candles were lit inside the castle.

The music starts.

The dance party officially started, and 'Red Rose' as the protagonist finally arrived.

Coming out with her was the 'Golden Stallion' Pine Leopold. He was wearing a golden coat, a multi-layered lace-edged pleated shirt, and his shoulders were decorated with feathers, like an ostrich with dyed wings.

Red Rose's clothes are as good as ever, or in other words, the beautiful lady looks charming no matter how she dresses.

"It is an honor that the eldest prince Hugo Kein came to Roaring Castle today." Pine smiled, and Li Qi suddenly realized that although this guy was stupid and often thought with his lower body, he was much cuter than the eldest prince.

At least he won't look at people through his nostrils.

"Today's ball is also the celebration of the engagement of my dearest sister, Evangelion, and His Highness Hugo. After the ball, everyone is invited to attend the dinner."

Wow!

The nobles at the scene were a little surprised, but it seemed that the old nobles were all smiling, and they already knew it.

It also solved Li Qi's doubts about why a group of middle-aged and elderly people participated in a "blind date" dance for young people.

Li Qi also understood the reason why the eldest prince appeared here.

The Duke planned to marry the king. He was not surprised. The interest connection between nobles and nobles was through various marriages and tied by blood.

Just like Li Qi and Mrs. Jie Lin's close relationship, it's because of little Lear.

Blood ties are stronger than emotional connections.

But there is a prerequisite for closeness. One of the parties cannot be a heartless person, otherwise there will be no point in marrying multiple times.

The Golden Stallion was obviously not a qualified spokesperson, but when he said: "Knights, you can invite beautiful ladies to dance," Li Qi could fully feel that he meant it.

Because just after he finished speaking, the golden stallion walked towards a certain noble girl, fearing that he would be snatched away by others.

Many ladies are also looking at Li Qi expectantly, and some are even planning to come over and be "invited". A powerful, young, handsome and single lord is very worthy of the ladies' dancing steps for him and their favored gazes. .

Li Qi looked around with a headache, and happened to find a familiar person next to him, so he said to him: "Beautiful lady, can I invite you to dance?"

"Me?" The other party was quite surprised.

After looking up at Li Qi for a few seconds, she raised her hand: "Of course."

The little hand gently rested on Li Qi's palm, which was soft and soft.

The two danced slowly to the music. Li Qi looked at the other party's bright blond hair and the family emblem of the rising hoof war horse on his flat chest, and then remembered who the other party was.

Tia Cavendish.

Flash Knight's Midnight Sun Philip's sister, Li Qi remembered that she wasn't very old... Damn, this must be her first time attending a dance. If Philip saw it, would he think he wanted to pick up her sister?
