The Great Age of Voyage of the Elves

Chapter 64
After that, Catherine had to go back to change her clothes, so when Mu came back, she was still wondering why the silly girl who competed with him every day suddenly disappeared?
It was only at night that he finally learned the reason from the servant. At first, he was worried that the girl would not let him off easily the next day, but unexpectedly, the next day, unexpected events happened again unexpectedly.

"Is there a dance tonight?"

Seeing Schifer who came into his room with a group of servants in front of him, Mu asked back with a face full of astonishment.

"Yes."

Schiff nodded.

"Balls and salons are very important social ceremonies. You are also an adult nobleman, and it's time to learn how to attend such parties. Tonight's dance is hosted by Duke Floyd's family. Many young men and women in the capital will participate. You might even take this opportunity to find a girl you like."

The aristocratic ball in this era can probably be understood as a collection of friendship meeting and blind date meeting. It is a very common form of gathering in the upper class. The main purpose is socializing, and dancing is secondary.

Many second sons of families or young people with low succession are very keen to participate in such gatherings. After all, marriage and connections are also an important layer of protection for nobles to maintain their status.

But to be honest, Mu is really not very interested in this.

After all, you can't expect an otaku who has been single for more than 20 years to become a socialite in the upper class immediately by simply traveling through time, right?
"Do you really have to go?" Mu resisted. At the same time, he was trembling because nearly ten men and maids followed behind Schiffer. "What are they taking?"

"A dress." Schiffer replied naturally.

"I don't want to try everything, do I?" Mu said in despair.

At this moment, each of the nearly ten servants has two or three men's dresses with complicated decorations in their hands, and the total number added up is daunting.

"Of course, this can't be sloppy. It's related to the most important dignity and image of a nobleman. What's more, you haven't been engaged since you became an adult. Today's ball may usher in the most important encounter in your life. How can you slack off at this time?"

Mu understood the truth, but he wanted to ask, "But brother, aren't you engaged?"

"..."

Two seconds later, a servant who came up to help Mu change his clothes suddenly increased his strength and tightened his belt vigorously, causing Le Demu to cry out in pain.

"Oh!!"

He suspects that Schiffer secretly instigated it, but he has no evidence.

……

After being surrounded by a group of servants and playing around with it for more than half an hour, Mu's eyes gradually lost their brilliance...

"Brother, I think it's almost enough. I really don't expect any encounters."

But Schiffer was completely indifferent, "Hehe, do you think I will believe your insincere lies? Who would not yearn for this kind of thing? Listen to me, Mu, you shouldn't always be so passive and wait, sometimes you should take the initiative. You are the most talented trainer I have ever seen, you are very good."

"But for so many years, brother, haven't you taken the initiative to attack?"

"..."

Three seconds later, the same technique was used again, another male servant suddenly tightened his belt violently, and Li Demu was caught off guard.

"Oh!!!"

This time he was sure that Schiffer must have instigated it secretly, but he still had no evidence...

……

He was tossed about for a long time, so that he didn't have time to attend to Mu's swordsmanship practice and elf training that day. Finally, before dinner in the evening, he was finally refreshed, and then he was led by Schiffer to the mansion of Duke Floyd, the host of the ball.

After entering the door, the two brothers immediately attracted a lot of attention.

For one thing, Schiffer, as a well-off man with a stable line of succession all year round and almost certain to be the next earl, has been a popular figure in the upper circles of the capital in recent years.

Secondly, Mu Zai next to him has indeed changed greatly in appearance after being tortured for a day.

It must be admitted that the skin that Mu seized after crossing is still a bit handsome, which is probably one of the few advantages of the former Mu.

This advantage used to have no room for use in the navy where [-]% of the ships were rough men, but now it can be regarded as useful.

After coming to the main hall of the ball, Mu has already noticed several fiery or ambiguous eyes drifting towards him from time to time.

This feeling...

It's pretty good to be honest.

Perhaps some of Schiffer's previous words were really accurate, but that's not necessarily the case.

Not long after entering the main hall, a young man from the Floyd family, the proprietor of the ball, greeted Schiffer.

"It is a pleasure to see you, my friend. Who is this?"

He said and looked at Mu.

Schiffer introduced him: "My brother, Mu, is an excellent trainer."

"Oh, nice to meet you."

The young man then extended his hand politely and shook Mu twice.

Immediately, Schiffer followed the man to the side, and joined a small circle over there to talk, obviously familiar with this kind of social gathering.

Mu, who was temporarily left behind, could only wander around the hall by himself.

Soon, he was stopped and surrounded by noble ladies who came up one after another.

There is no way, compared horizontally, Mu's appearance is indeed relatively good among the male guests participating in the ball, and the background of the Eliak family is not bad, enough to be called a wealthy family.

Even though Mu mentioned several times openly that he has no territory now and only has one baron title, he still couldn't stop the noble ladies from all walks of life coming to his side in an endless stream, trying to strike up a conversation with him.

After all, not all the sons of nobles who came to the ball came from top wealthy families, and the son of an earl was already a very high status for many of them.

Besides, who said that all strike-ups must lead to marriage?

There is no shortage of romantic affairs in the upper class, no matter which world you change to.

"If you don't have a fief, doesn't that mean you can stay in the capital forever? Maybe we can communicate more in the future. I have several dresses that fit better at home. I really want to show you how to wear them."

"I just heard your brother say that you are an excellent trainer? It just so happens that I have a Porkby that has not been trained well. Is it convenient for you to come to my house to guide me after the dance?"

The enthusiasm and openness of these noble girls almost made Mu Beng lose his expression.

"This...cough cough, it's not very good, I, that..."

In the end, he didn't know that his innocent performance made the girls around him even more presumptuous, and they seemed to enjoy the pleasure of forcing him into a predicament.

Until a girl asked: "Since Schiffer mentioned that you are an excellent trainer, can you release your elf for us to see?"

Once this proposal was put forward, it attracted waves of support.

"Uh...this."

Mu hesitated a few times, but in the end he couldn't stand it anymore, but Chenglong really couldn't let him out here. After all, even in his infancy, Chenglong was still quite big. At least he could hunch over Mu in a crouching position. It would be inconvenient to summon him indoors.

In the end, he had to call out little Lalu Lasi.

As a result, I never thought that the effect would be even more outstanding.

"Wow, so cute!"

"She looks like a child!"

"Come on, little guy, there's something to eat here, can you give me a hug?"

Now, more girls surrounded him, so that Schiffer, who was communicating with his inner circle not far away, could not help but be attracted by the movement.

Taking advantage of the fact that the girls were temporarily distracted by Lalu Lasi, Mu Ke managed to escape from the encirclement, only to see his elder brother Sifer walking leisurely with a goblet, looking at him with a half-smile.

"What did you say before you came here? You didn't expect anything at all?"

"..."

Mu was speechless for a moment.

Well, he has to admit that there are a few girls around who are pretty good-looking, and he does have a little bit of enjoyment, just a little bit, really...
