Otherworldly White Dragon Lord

Chapter 1031: The Shadow of Greed at the Ball (Part 2)

Views:

Saints have been training in the sanctuary since they were young. In order not to be lazy or to breed greed, each Saint has strict requirements on himself like an ascetic in terms of diet and living conditions. He trains and tempers his body and works hard. Training the mind is something that every boy and girl who aspires to become a Saint must go through.

The Aquarius Gold Saint Desier is an alternative among the Saints. As a wise man in the sanctuary, he has served as a diplomatic ambassador many times. Due to the requirements of his position, Desier has also learned many courses on diplomatic etiquette, including dining, Naturally, grooming, mannerisms, and social dancing are essential aspects of learning. Today, in this circle of aristocratic gatherings, everything Desier has learned has come in handy.

Dances in other worlds are very similar to ballroom dances, except that the rhythm is quite fast and the movements are slightly louder. A large part of the reason is that humans in other worlds are physically much stronger than humans on earth. Even women have enough physical strength to dance. After a fast dance, Dieter, who was dancing with Celine on the dance floor, carefully adjusted his body movements. Although this kind of dance similar to ballroom dancing has some variations, he has a good dance foundation and extraordinary nerves. Desier's reflex speed and agility were more than enough to handle it. On the other hand, Celine, who danced with him, was secretly surprised. Celine, who was extremely talented in dancing, could naturally tell that Dijer was not proficient in this dance, but the other party completely made up for every possibility with his extraordinary speed and learning ability. Wrong loophole, even if I speed up, the opponent will steadily keep up with my pace without making any mistakes.

For a moment, the difference between the dancing of other people and the two of them was like the gap between amateurs and professional dancers. Many men and women among the guests focused their attention. The men were envious of being able to hold Celine's white jade-like body in person. The women were envious of Celine for being able to dance with such a handsome and elegant man.

What an interesting man!

"Mr. Dieter, you are not a Saxon, are you?" Celine looked at Dieter during the slow-paced part and said, and some of her physical features did not have the characteristics of a Saxon.

"Yes, I am originally from the Kingdom of Karut, and I came to settle in the Kingdom of Saxony mainly to engage in some commodity trade." Didier said calmly.

During the time they came to the Kingdom of Saxony, both the Yalin side and the Saxon royal family had already forged the identities of Desier and Miliya. Considering that Miliya and Desier had already been in contact with the Holy City and were very likely to They left a criminal record with the other party. For this reason, the Saxon royal family specially forged several different identities for the two of them, and they already knew these identities by heart.

Celine could not see anything wrong with Dieter's answer, and the reason why Dietier went to the Kingdom of Saxony was also very simple, that is, for the various mutated medicinal materials and prey produced in the Mist Forest. These mutated The efficacy of medicinal materials and prey has long been spread on the mainland. Even in the Kalsemmen Empire, Celine has been exposed to this news. Medicinal materials with the power of frost have become a hot commodity among pharmacists, and various mutants have In addition to possessing various fine leathers and bones that can be used to make high-end equipment, this kind of beast can also be domesticated by magicians and used as powerful familiars. Even the Kalsemmen Empire obtained them from different channels. Many samples were studied, and it is said that its efficacy was praised by royal apothecaries and mages.

If the Carlseman Empire and the Kingdom of Saxony were not too far apart, otherwise the Carlseman Empire would have opened up a trade route to the Kingdom of Saxony long ago, instead of delaying the arrival until now by the Posati family. The construction of the Chamber of Commerce resulted in the empire having to endure layers of exploitation by greedy merchants in order to obtain these medicines and prey.

However, Celine still has doubts. Even if it is agreed that Didier is indeed a businessman, how did he get to know Princess Luo Jie'an? And judging from the behavior of the two of them when they danced together just now, the princess Luo Jie'an seemed to be quite cautious about him. Could it be that Didier is the sweetheart of the princess

Haha~ It’s unlikely.

For a moment, Celine was amused by her own thoughts. Although Dieter was indeed extraordinary in appearance and temperament, he was not a member of the royal family or aristocrat, and secondly, he was not even a native of the Kingdom of Saxony. How could the royal family be so willing to do so? It would be wrong to marry the princess to him like this. If the two of them only fell in love secretly, it would be impossible for them to invite each other to dance in public, let alone in front of their father and brother. I didn't see any special reaction from the two of them.

At this moment, the music played by the band was coming to an end. Seeing this, Celine had no choice but to ask regardless of etiquette: "Mr. Didier, do you know Princess Luo Jie'an?"

"Well... I think I've met him a few times by chance."

Seeing Celine starting to get straight to the point, Dijer secretly became vigilant and answered cautiously. He had already considered this question. Luo Jie'an's behavior before could not allow him to deny it. The only option was It means admitting and making up a story to deal with it. In this story, I can't express my close relationship with the Saxon royal family and Princess Luo Jie'an, so I have to be careful in terms of intensity.

Dieter explained to Celine as tactfully as possible how he got to know Luo Jie'an, a businessman who heard about the emergence of mutated plants and beasts in the Kingdom of Saxony from a mage friend, and then came with the dream of gold mining. Finally, However, he was fortunate enough to meet the court mage Gretel in the town of Bellica near the Forest of Mist, and through this he met Princess Luo Jie'an who was accompanying him at the time.

A very vulgar and clichéd story with absolutely no new ideas. Although clichéd, it has no loopholes. What’s more important is that there is not much time for Celine to inquire further.

When the band played the last note, the men and women on the dance floor also stopped. Some were waiting for the next song, while others said goodbye to their dance partners in a gentlemanly manner and started looking for the next one.

"Nice to meet you today, Mr. Desier."

"It is also an honor for me to meet you, Your Highness Celine."

Celine's beautiful eyes flowed: "It's a pleasure to talk to you. If possible, I hope you can come as a guest to Mr. Desier after the Chamber of Commerce is established. Maybe as businessmen we can reach some cooperation projects with each other."

Regarding this invitation that was extremely enviable by others, Dijer also maintained a calm smile and said: "You are so polite, Your Highness, I will definitely come to visit you when the time comes."

Regardless of everyone's pity and confusion, Desier quickly returned to his place after saying goodbye to Celine.

After returning to Miliya, Dijer finally couldn't keep his composure and smiled bitterly. Miliya asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I'm just really tired."

"As far as your physical ability is concerned, dancing two dances is no different than walking a few steps." Miria, who knew the strength of the Golden Saint, did not think that Desier would be exhausted after just one dance. degree.

Didier shook his head and glanced meaningfully at Celine on the other side: "It's not that the body is tired, but the mind is too tired. It is really troublesome to deal with people who are too smart."

"Are there some smart women?"

"More than just a clever person, the princess of the Kalsemmen Empire is not just a good-looking person, her scheming is deeper than imagined."

Dieter felt that although Celine seemed to believe his words on the surface, she was actually inferring on her own. When dancing with Celine, her questions seemed to be casual and casual, but when she thought about each question carefully, He is probably first-class if he can vaguely test the details of his own side and quietly, without making himself wary, without letting the topic become too rigid to talk about. He can skillfully use words to test the other party in a subtle way to extract the information and clues he wants. Spies and spies pale in comparison to her.

Celine, who returned on the other side, was a little tired after dancing several times in a row. The men who were still arguing about dancing with Celine all showed regretful looks.

"Your Highness Celine, please use it."

Leonas quickly gave Celine a glass of light lemonade. Several women had previously invited the young and handsome mage to dance with him, but they were all declined. Protecting Celine is Leonas's current duty. The mage Don't dare to relax about it.

"Yeah~ Thanks, Leonas." He took the lemonade and took a sip. The slightly sweet and sour lemonade made Celine feel better immediately.

Leonas, who guest-starred in Knight's Duty, knew very well that His Highness Celine would never let himself get drunk when attending any dinner party, because when drunk, people would uncontrollably say things they shouldn't say. For those who often use For Celine, who uses her beauty and intelligence to extract information from others, getting drunk is a big taboo for her.

"Your Highness Celine, is there anything special about that man?" Leonas asked in a low voice, feeling better after seeing Celine.

"It's nothing special." Celine smiled charmingly: "I just saw Luo Jie'an being so close to him, so I was a little curious about his identity."

"Then he..."

After arranging her hair, Celine showed a playful expression and said thoughtfully: "I kept my tone tight and didn't find out any useful information, but there are only a few things that can be determined."

"What?"

"Firstly, he is not a Saxon but a very powerful warrior. Secondly, he and his female companion are very important in the eyes of the Saxon royal family. They are so important that they even allow their princess to get close to them as they please. Thirdly, they It may be personnel sent by another force in Saxony," Celine said while rubbing her fingers.

Leonas also thought deeply, but in the eyes of the mage, no matter where Didier came from and what he wanted to do in the Kingdom of Saxony, it was someone else's business.

But Celine saw some other places. Recently, the Kingdom of Saxony has had a lot of good luck. Not only did it avoid the war with the Og barbarians due to the snowstorm, it also received a large amount of investment from the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce in the Free City to prepare for development. The mineral resources in several territories, once the mineral resources begin to be developed and there is no harassment from the Og barbarians, this small country in the far north may be able to soar into the sky. Is it a coincidence or is there someone behind it? Where's the pusher

This is indeed a question that has to make people think deeply.

"Your Highness Celine, I wonder if I can invite you to dance."

At this moment, a man in rich clothes suddenly walked up to Celine and invited her.
