At this critical moment, Mozo could only bite the bullet and bow to the lady in the iris mask who was also looking at him and said:
"My beautiful lady, I am attracted by your extraordinary figure. Please forgive my insolence! I dare to invite you to dance with me!"
You must agree to it, you must agree to it!
Looking at Bernadette, who was still walking towards here although her steps were a little slow, Mozzo sincerely hoped for the blessing of luck in his heart.
The lady who was invited by Mozo to dance was staring at the hand that Mozo stretched out to her.
Why?
Why don't I want to say no?
And why do I feel like I have seen this scene somewhere before?
"My dear lady, may I dance with you?"
After hearing these words that seemed to contain a hint of prayer, the lady wearing the iris mask was surprised to find that her heart seemed to tremble.
After hesitating for a moment, she took off her gloves and gently and carefully extended her hand towards the other person.
When his hand was placed on Mozo's palm.
Mozo and she both thought at the same time: "Very... familiar!?"
426 Cromwell, forget me! (7k5)
Feeling the familiarity and warmth coming from her hands, the lady wearing the iris mask fell into speechless silence. This silence also made Mozo more certain of his guess.
He probably knew this lady and had quite a bit of interaction with her.
But who could she be? !
Is she an angel following several goddesses, or a friend I have dealt with before, or is she also a goddess?
Although the two fell into a brief silence, this also allowed Bernadette, who was gradually approaching, to slowly stop a few meters in front of them.
Then Bernadette involuntarily raised her hand and touched her heart.
It's a bit uncomfortable... .
What's going on?
Is it because I haven't found him yet?
Bernadette, realizing that she was missing half of herself, looked very lonely in front of other people's happy lives.
Gods can also envy and even be jealous of mortals.
This is the original blessing and the original curse.
No one can explain the deeper meaning of Yuanchu's action. Perhaps He just hopes that his children can enjoy all the flavors of this world.
Or maybe He hoped His children would understand all His feelings.
Mozo noticed this scene out of the corner of his eye and turned his head away unnaturally.
At the same time, he also made eye contact with Ms. Iris on the opposite side.
Those eyes are beautiful and complex.
Looking at this pair of eyes, Mozo suddenly felt that he might have guessed who this was.
After slowly straightening up, Mozo, who was still holding the other's hand, didn't quite know what to do next.
In such a stiff atmosphere, the lady wearing the iris mask lowered her head slightly and took the initiative to break the situation.
She raised her head and smiled softly:
"You wish to dance with me, sir?"
"Ah, yes, yes, I would like to dance with you, dear lady!"
Although I don't quite understand the other party's thoughts, this development may be the best trend at the moment.
"Then let us begin, sir! Or would you like me to lead the dance?"
Mozo lowered his head and smiled unnaturally:
"Although I am not good at this, I won't let such a beautiful lady go to such trouble."
After hearing this, the lady wearing the iris mask took the initiative to move aside so that she and Mozo could stand together and face the dance floor.
"What kind of dance would you like to have, sir?"
"Ma'am, this is your choice!"
After hearing this, the lady wearing the iris mask said with a hint of joy that only she could feel:
"Then please dance to "Forget-me-not" with me..."
"Forget-me-not?"
"Yes, the famous classical dance "Forget-me-not."
"My dear lady, this doesn't seem to fit the current atmosphere."
Mozo's tone became increasingly unnatural as he spoke.
"Forget-me-not" This is a famous dance that was performed after the end of the Age of Gods when all races were licking their wounds.
The origin of the dance can only be traced back to a dance piece composed by a mortal woman in memory of her lover who died in the war of the Age of Gods. It became widely known because of its amazing ability to evoke emotions and graceful dance moves.
As for who this woman is and who her lover is, no one knows. The only thing people know is this famous dance from this tragic couple.
No one can deny that this dance is stunning and graceful, but it is certainly not suitable for a joyful atmosphere.
Because she is so sad and so shocking.
At the same time, it is also because of this that this dance gradually faded out of the aristocratic circle's dance parties over a long period of history. Because the aristocrats held dance parties for fun, such sad dance music did not meet their requirements.
But this does not mean that no one knows how to dance this dance anymore. At least Mozo knows how to dance it, and so does this lady.
Mozo even learned the dance from the original creator, but unlike popular belief, the original creator of the dance was not the mortal woman, but the lover of the mortal woman. However, it was she who made it popular.
After her lover died in the Age of Gods War...
Her lover is also a mortal, but he is a mortal with great artistic talent. He should be in a school, a dance studio, a concert hall, an art gallery, and many other places, but never on a battlefield.
In other words, no one should appear on the battlefield, a place that desecrates humanity and life!
It is said that at the beginning of the ancient creation, stepping onto the battlefield was an initial felony more serious than blasphemy, but due to the helplessness of the original setters, this ancient law ultimately only exists in legends.
As the master of the Art Capital, Mozo once wanted him to follow him to the Victorian capital, but he refused because he felt that he should fight for his hometown.
Even though he was just a mere mortal.
In the end, Mozo respected his idea and followed him to learn this famous dance which was neither famous nor ancient at that time.
It’s a pity that times have changed and things and people are no longer the same.
His and her love ultimately ended in tragedy.
This is a very ordinary and common old story, not interesting at all, not outstanding at all.
There is no reversal, no climax, only the ancient and common.
But this is a microcosm of an era and a tragedy of an era.
Mozo failed to change that chaotic era, nor could he save this insignificant couple and their even more insignificant love. It was so insignificant, and so deserving of redemption.
But even such a trivial matter is something that even God cannot change.
Similarly, Mozo did not expect that today, after so many years, he seemed to be standing at a similar fork in the road again.
The difference is that at that time he was just a supporting role who looked extremely great but was actually completely omitted.
And now, he is the protagonist, the absolute protagonist.
Just as Mozo was thinking deeply, the lady wearing the iris mask smiled again:
"This is a dance that symbolizes tragedy and love. It is indeed not suitable for the current atmosphere. However, I really want to try such a beautiful dance."
"What do you think, gentleman?"
After saying that, Ms. Iris turned around and looked deeply at Mozo, revealing a simple smile that should have been complicated—If you don’t want to, then let’s change. As long as you can still accompany me...
The meaning conveyed by this smile was very clear, but the smile itself was unfamiliar to Mozo, because among the women Mozo had seen, their smiles were either gentle or bright, of course, there were also those that could not be refused, and those that were full of malice. But among all these smiles, it was the first time that Mozo saw such humility.
Yes, the smile that the lady wearing the iris mask showed him was humble, it was not the flattery of a lower person begging for favors from a higher person.
That is a kind of pure humility, a kind of humility that only comes from having nothing.
She is so outstanding, beautiful and noble, but she is a poor person with nothing.
What is going on? How did this happen?
Mozo didn't have the courage to refuse such a humble smile.
He could only force a smile and said:
"Of course, if you want!"
When these words came out, there was finally a hint of real joy in the humble smile:
"Well! Please start!"
After taking a deep breath, Mozo cheered himself up and took the lady's hand and walked into the dance floor.
At the same time as they walked in.
The musical puppets that had appeared silently around a long time ago suddenly changed their performance.
This was no longer the uplifting "Ode to Joy" that the guests danced to at the beginning.
This is a strange, yet very quiet and beautiful music.
The sudden change of tune made the guests inside and outside the dance floor stop their movements in confusion.
He then looked at the puppets who were responsible for playing music.
They hoped for an explanation, but the puppets just remained silent and continued playing.
But in the silence of the masses, there are still some people who are still moving forward at their own pace.
For example, the gods who were very interested, and the stunned Black Bear.
The difference is that the gods, whether it was Rani who was forcing a smile, Fortune who was watching in amazement, or the other noble ones, at least maintained the necessary composure.
As for Brother Black Bear, who had been ready to watch the show from the beginning, he slapped himself hard after being stunned. He suspected that he was dreaming.
But the pain on his face told him that he was not dreaming, this was all real, he was really not cut out for it, and others could easily capture him!
Brother Black Bear, covering his cheek, couldn't help but look at the trash can that seemed to be following him like a shadow. After staring for a long time, Brother Black Bear shivered and left in silence.
There is still a long time tonight and he still has many chances!
As time went by, the silent guests noticed Mozo and the lady wearing the iris mask who had just entered.
In the silent and lively dance floor, the only ones still dancing were the newlyweds.
At just the first glance, the guests around them involuntarily made way for them because the atmosphere of this couple was so outstanding.
Their outstanding performance made them realize that no matter how close they tried, they would only become supporting roles.
At the same time, they were also amazed at why the dance of the newlyweds was so well suited to this unfamiliar song.
"Forget-me-not" is an old song that has faded out of the aristocratic circle, so many guests were unable to immediately react to what song or dance it was.
But it was only temporary. As the music became more radical and the two people in the center of the dance floor began to get into the groove, almost all the guests around them remembered what it was.
It should definitely not appear in the current version of Forget-Me-Not!
Sad music should not appear at a joyous dance party, and at the current banquet there are several gods who have lost their king!
In this case, what exactly is the reason for the appearance of "Forget-me-not"?
Isn't this a provocation?
After realizing this, the guests in the center of the dance floor left one after another.
However, they did not leave completely, but stopped at the edge of the dance floor.
Because they want to know what happens next.
After all, the gods had not said anything or intervened until now. Even the puppet master acquiesced to everything happening.
