On the Seven Towers

Chapter 451 A Salon

In the original world, the so-called salon was a small party held in the living room of a noble family. It was not as grand as a large ball. The theme was mostly about appreciating art works or discussing some issues. From this point of view, the salon of the Marquise Grosso's house is quite satisfactory. There are more than ten sofas and chairs in the living room of the Marquise's house. An open space surrounding the center,

The maid of the Marquis Mansion led the two of them to an inconspicuous location where they could see the scene clearly.

The two sat down and Luo Ling said, "Give us some cover."

Xiao Mu cast a rare spiritual magic: ignoring the barrier.

This magic has a very magical effect, which is to make people around you unconsciously ignore the people and objects behind the barrier.

Sure enough, after this magic barrier was installed, the people who arrived one after another did not pay attention to the sofa at the back. Even the maid forgot to serve them fruits and drinks.

Xiao Mu sat on the sofa and said, "You humans are so interesting. You spend all day doing politics, conspiracies and other meaningless things. Even if you are all in the same organization, you have different thoughts."

Luo Ling smiled and said: "That is a field that you, a lonely soul, have never really touched. These things that you seem boring or even annoying are exactly the way of survival for thousands of years. Without these, people would not be able to survive." If it becomes a whole, it will not be able to integrate the huge power to change the world. Although the whole process is bumpy and mixed with many ugly things, the result is not the worst.”

"What's the worst result?" Xiao Mu asked.

"Everyone should accept their fate calmly." Luo Ling lightly shrugged, "If you accepted your original fate, you should still be in the book now, right?"

While they were chatting, the guests arrived one after another.

The Marquise made a simple opening statement, and then told everyone that a distinguished guest was also coming here today. Then, the princess walked in from the door together with Liu Pengfei.

The princess wore a long skirt and held Liu Pengfei's arm. Liu Pengfei wore a tailor-made aristocratic dress, which matched the princess very well. The two people's expressions and postures were very dignified when they entered the venue, just like normal aristocratic dance partners. However, Luo Ling, who is mentally sharp, found that the princess always leaned towards Liu Pengfei unconsciously, and the small pinching movements on her hands showed that the relationship between the two people was very unusual.

Walking into the arena, the princess let go of Liu Pengfei and walked to the front. Everyone in the salon stood up and saluted, only Luo Ling and Xiao Mu were still sitting on the sofa.

The Marchioness led the princess to a sofa near the center stage. The princess sat at one end, and Liu Pengfei sat at the other end.

It started off as a minstrel show, sure enough. The bard also performs some magical tricks of sound and light. While singing folk songs, magic spells were used to enhance the effects. Although rudimentary, some of the performances were really beyond the level that modern stage props could achieve.

The bard performed a long narrative poem, and then added two short pieces to the applause of the crowd. Even Luo Ling found it quite interesting.

After the bard left the stage, the Marquise said: "The time you are most looking forward to has arrived again. Today we once again invited the talented writer Liu Pengfei. Everyone knows that his pen is more powerful than the staff. Today he will give us another What kind of stories will it bring? I can’t wait.”

"Genius writer?" Xiao Mu looked confused.

"Well, it's an old trick." Luo Ling already knew what was going on.

Liu Pengfei walked onto the stage, performed a mage salute, and greeted everyone with ease. Then he began to tell the story in a measured tone: "...On this day, the adventure team led by Sun Wukong came to a place called Guanyin Temple to stay overnight. The temple was magnificent in scale and impressive in momentum. The chief priest of the temple, the high priest Jinchi, heard that Xuanzang of Tang Dynasty The high priest came from the royal capital and received them warmly. This high priest of the temple liked to collect priest robes. He collected more than 800 priest robes, but there was no artifact among them. When he saw the high priest Tang Xuanzang. When I bought that artifact robe, I started to be greedy..."

Luo Ling couldn't help but laugh when Liu Pengfei talked about how the shaman of the Black Bear Clan, who had master-level cultivation, stole the priest's robe while fighting a fire and held a banquet for the chiefs of the surrounding tribes to visit.

"This story is quite interesting." Xiao Mu asked. She turned her eyes and said, "It must be an adaptation of your original world story, right?"

"Well, that's right. It's not easy to adapt a copied story like this."

"Then what should we do now? Maybe if we find an opportunity to expose him and discredit him, the princess will not be willing to be with him."

As if Luo Ling had bullied her, Xiao Mu knew he had made a mistake and immediately lowered his head and shut up.

"Some people may do this, but this is not my style of doing things. If I do too many shady things, and if I get used to stepping on others, I won't be able to do serious things."

——————————————

Liu Pengfei finished telling the story of the Black Wind Monster, told a few short stories, and finally sang a song before leaving the stage. The following is a time for everyone to communicate freely. The princess will also take this opportunity to get closer to some of the main characters.

He stood up and asked the maid for a glass of wine, preparing to chat with an earl. Suddenly, a hand grabbed his arm halfway and pulled him into a strange little barrier.

The noise around him suddenly quieted down, and he could see clearly that the people in front of him were Luo Ling and Xiao Mu.

"Luo, Mr. Luo?" Liu Pengfei was obviously not prepared for this.

"Well, I think your 'performance' today was a good one." Luo Ling said.

"Copying books is not something that can be put on the stage, so I didn't say much in the office." Liu Pengfei showed a bit of embarrassment, "But... Mr. Luo, there are some things I have wanted to say for a long time. Everyone knows that the king's time is running out, why don't you consider Princess Laura as an option?"

"The school's established policy is very clear, we don't participate in the dispute over the royal succession."

"Not all committee members agree with this. I didn't know it before, but now the more I understand the strength of the princess, the more I feel that the balance of victory will be on her side! I am only on good terms with her in a private capacity now, and I can The help we can provide is limited. If the school can stand as a whole, it will be very different. This is really a profitable opportunity. "

"But why should I stand for a feudal kingdom? What will happen to our own territory in the end has nothing to do with who is the king! It doesn't even matter whether there is a kingdom! In the long run, we will eventually stand on the opposite side of all kings and nobles. Our economy will destroy their economy, and our system will force them to change. The kings and nobles will become the dust of history because of us. "

"But at least it will be of great help to the situation in the next few years!" Liu Pengfei said.

Luo Ling stood up from the sofa and prepared to leave, "Xiao Liu, you and some people behind you have not yet understood that politics and business are different. Businessmen who look at short-term profits can make a few deals, but politicians who look at short-term profits will lose a country. "
