Only tricks win people's hearts

Hughes' banquet began the next night, and the lord's mansion was decorated and brightly lit, as bright as day.

Berkshire, the capital of the Cavendish province, has not been so lively for a long time. The baroque building is full of traffic, and countless media lenses focus on it. Everyone is looking forward to this grand social dance.

Not to mention, it really feels like a reappearance of the original scene of "Cinderella".

Unfortunately, there is no Cinderella here, only ambitious human nobles.Almost all unmarried aristocratic teenagers and girls of the right age in the territory came. They wore gorgeous dresses, expensive and shining gems, hung false smiles, and prepared to launch a charge.

Even many famous and surnamed sons of nobles from the big provinces next door also appeared on the scene. They were all dressed up, and in the shadow of their clothes and temples, they were in small groups, either with their friends or with their family members. , it looks like they just want to enjoy this sleepless dance, but everyone knows that they are drunk.

Everyone is quietly waiting to attract the young Duke of Hughes, but it is neither Hughes' money nor Hughes' name, only his blood.

Very naked.

Since Hughes' identity as a descendant of the demon hero Eliog was revealed, his popularity in the aristocratic marriage market has skyrocketed.

According to incomplete statistics, according to the current growth rate, the number of nobles who want to marry Hughes even tends to exceed the number of people who want to marry the national prince His Royal Highness Andrew.

When the blood of a hero was flowing through his body, everyone seemed to have amnesia, and overnight they forgot some words like "dirty", "slave" and "bastard" that they once despised.The fashion magazine "Emperor Capital Vanity Fair" even directly used "He, Born Noble" as the main title of Hughes' interview, which was placed on the cover, which was extremely conspicuous.

Hughes accepted a lot of interviews in order to develop a poor and white territory. He never concealed his secular utilitarianism in this regard. He lacks money, he needs money, and he relies on his own efforts to earn what he needs for life. There is nothing to think about it shameful.He also won't feel that accepting these is a self-deprecation just because he is now confirmed to be a descendant of Lord Eliog.Everyone wants to use him, so it's better for him to use himself first, so that others have nothing to gain.

"Everyone wants to have offspring with the blood of the seven heroes." The mysterious guest, His Highness Andrew, held a transparent goblet and stood condescendingly on the balcony on the third floor.He said to Hughes while looking down at the glamorous people coming and going downstairs.

"I'm probably the only one who doesn't want to." Hughes didn't want his bloodline to continue, because he knew very well that if his offspring didn't have such heaven-defying magical talent, then the hero's bloodline would no longer be of any help. It will only lead to disasters that will destroy everything.Ordinary ordinary demons can't keep the treasure.

And Hughes, who was tortured by the history of the Cavendish family since he was a child, knew very well that the glory was destined to decline, and he did not want to repeat the tragedy of Cavendish on his descendants.

"Those old guys won't let you go."

Many real nobles in the imperial capital have already made shrewd calculations, thinking that Hughes, who is helpless, is the most suitable marriage partner for his children.Their expectations have even surpassed their marriage with His Royal Highness Andrew, who has a complicated background.A very simple reason, instead of marrying your daughter/son to the prince and fighting for the royal power with a [-]/[-] chance, it is better to take the safe route of combining with the descendants of the demon heroes.

They are now "sending charcoal in the snow", Hughes still have to be grateful to Dade for the rest of his life?

It has to be said that these people not only think beautifully, but are also inexplicably confident, feeling that they have an indescribable superiority in front of Hughes, who was born as a slave.

But Hughes is no easy bully either.

At the moment when he was harassed so much, this dance was held.In name, it is to get to know everyone in the territory, and everyone only thinks that this is Hughes's big blind date party, but in fact... it is the battlefield that Hughes opened up for this group of utilitarians. Since you all want to "help me revitalize the family", Alright, let's decide on a winner first.

Transform the contradictions against oneself into contradictions within the "enemy".Take the path of the villain and let the villain have nowhere to go.Such a wicked idea is full of traces of His Royal Highness Andrew's planning and planning.

Gu Jingbai is well aware of this.

But Gu Jingbai didn't care, he just wanted to introduce Hughes to Brother Xi, so that all game players could discover the protagonist of this treasure.

It's a pity that Brother Xi was out of shape the whole time at the dance.In fact, his depression already existed before getting into the magic car, and it became more serious after he arrived at the Lord's Mansion.When seeing all kinds of incredible magic props and gorgeous and complicated scenes, I no longer startled and clamored for screenshots to share. I just focused on cosplaying the eggplant, which was terribly wilted.

"What happened to him, does anyone know?" Gu Jingbai took the opportunity to ask Brother Xi's friends when he was bringing soft drinks for everyone.But everyone shook their heads, and the reference opinions that could be given would only be like this if Brother Xi was hit hard.

"Did something happen in reality?"

Everyone still shook their heads, they hadn't heard any rumors about this.

Only Lu Zhi knew what happened to Brother Xi. After Brother Xi helped Lu Zhi know that he was not only the God of Light and Darkness, but also the God of Dragon, Lu Zhi immediately refused and refused to agree to Brother Xi's request to be a god-favored person.

This is not Lu Zhigong's personal revenge, but Gu Jingbai is the only one among his gods.

It doesn't matter how many gods he is.

All of Lu Zhi's favor and partiality can only be given to Gu Jingbai.This is Lu Zhi's way of loving someone, which is a little extreme and exclusive.But no matter how others accuse him of being wrong, he also knows that he is abnormal, but he just doesn't want to change.

"Why?" The play brother asked.

Lu Zhi really couldn't find the reason, so he could only reply: "Are you a dragon?"

Of course not.There have always been rumors that the Dragon God only favors the Dragon Clan, it's just that he doesn't believe in evil.So, after being rejected, Brother Xi was hit and has not recovered yet.His current mood is a bit similar. He went bankrupt to draw cards (the various magic materials needed to open the magic circle are not cheap), and finally got a super rare hidden item. When he opened it, there was nothing. The reason is He missed the lottery rules.

Just, sorry.

Obviously, there are five of the seven main gods to choose from, why did he choose the Dragon God so blindly and obsessively?If he had chosen another god, the situation might have been different.

What people are most afraid of is not losing, but "I could have".

There is another person, or a group of people, who have the same regret as Brother Xi, that is, the staff of the counterattack department headed by Zhao Li.After seeing Brother Xi and Lu Zhi appear on the small TV because of the hidden mission in Xinshou Village, they were almost pissed off.Because... this is the pre-quest line they found to start the battle of the gods.

They were only one step away from completing the task of the big white goose prince in the novice village first. They never expected that they would be the ones who got there first.

There are five counterattack staff who entered the small world of e-sports, including Zhao Li.

Two of them accepted the mission of the Great White Goose Prince, and the other two were sent to follow Brother Xi and got the hidden mission of Hydrangea Town.Hurrying quickly, they finally relied on the advantage of purchasing a large amount of game coins to use the money to clear the way in the game and caught up with the opening of the dance.

They came to the ball for two purposes, one is to complete the task, and the other is to observe the people around Brother Xi to see if there is Gu Jingbai.

Zhao Li always felt that Brother Xi was able to go so smoothly because someone helped him, and it was impossible to rely on his own "strength" anyway.

This thing has no strength at all.

There are two couples beside Xi Ge, who are marked by Zhao Li as suspicious objects that need to be observed.

Among the two couples, apart from Gu Jingbai and Lu Zhi, the one who was suspected was also Brother Xi's true friend.It was a young couple, a man and a woman, who had been dating online for many years, and it was said that they had succeeded and planned to get married.

There were also exactly two counterattack staff who came to do the task, and one of them kept a close eye on the pair, and was in charge of the one who followed Lu Zhi, and found that Lu Zhi was comforting the depressed drama brother.

If Lu Zhi knew, he might wake up laughing if it wasn't a dream.

He would "condescend" to talk to brother Xi, naturally because he didn't want Gu Jingbai's plan to fail, and brother Xi's mood would already affect the progress of the task.

"cheer up."

Brother Xi was still thinking: "Ah, I'm so stupid, the dragon and the demons are rivals, how could the dragon god protect me? I can obviously choose the beast god who is closer to the demons!"

The beast god created the orcs, which is why the orcs are divided into the orcs and the titan orcs, because their gods are subjectively close to both sides.

The two of them had been talking about Che Jilu for a long time, and Lu Zhi had a flash of inspiration: "Don't worry about it, it's useless for you to regret it, maybe after completing this hidden mission, you can get another god-inviting array?" No matter what Whether Brother Xi can get it, Lu Zhi decided to give Brother Xi one as a gift in friendship.

"Really?" Brother Xi was still a little hesitant.

"Like what your Brother Lian said to me, how do you know if you don't try?" Lu Zhi had never been so sunny before, and forced to use Gu Jingbai's identity to feed Brother Xi a bowl of chicken soup.

"!!!" Brother Xi finally pulled himself together, came back to life, and joined the mission.

【...I don't think this M can be Gu Jingbai, let alone Lu Zhi. 】The employee sent a private message to Zhao Li like this.

Because obviously, neither Gu Jingbai nor Lu Zhi could have such a patient, delicate and comforting side.Gu Jingbai is almost single-minded in the process of carrying out tasks, and will always put "completing the task" first, especially pursuing efficiency, and will not care about others at all.Not to mention Lu Zhi, he is a vicious zombie king, he almost turned all human beings into zombies, heartless, how could he comfort people so gently?

【And, do you think, whether it's Gu Jingbai or Lu Zhi, would they be such crooked people?At least I dare not think that they will never leave their significant other. 】

[Yes. 】Zhao Li nodded vigorously, feeling that his subordinate's analysis was well-founded and very credible, so he quickly ruled out Mailliw's suspicion.
