Doctor of Science's Journey into Another World
Chapter 9 Dinner Party
The Campbell family dinner officially began after the red sun set into the horizon, while the white sun in the sky was still slowly sinking to the edge of the sky.
At this time, the sky gradually turned from dark blue to black, and a bright moon occupied the sky, bringing moonlight to the dark earth.
Many nobles and wealthy businessmen from nearby Campbell County came to attend the banquet. The square in front of the Campbell family manor was crowded with people, and carriages of various styles were parked or moving.
Thanks to the spacious welcoming square of Campbell Manor and the many servants of the Campbell family guiding the crowd, the place is well organized.
After walking along a quiet gravel road from the welcoming square, the guests arrived at an elegant and grand auditorium where the banquet was held.
The interior of the auditorium is magnificent. As you enter, you can see an exquisite relief of the Moon Goddess carved on the white jade wall in front of you.
A huge crystal chandelier hangs naturally from the ceiling of the auditorium. On the walls on both sides of the hall are rectangular strings of flags with gold edges and printed with the flag of Lord Campbell and the flag of the Omo Empire. These strings of flags are separated by huge floor-to-ceiling windows.
The long tables on both sides of the hall were filled with a rich variety of delicacies. The plates on which the food was served were purple flowered porcelain plates from the East, and the cups that the wine waiters served wine to the guests were exquisite crystal cups made by the dwarves. All of this made the guests present feel the wealth of the Earldom of Campbell.
The atmosphere of the banquet reached its first climax after Earl Campbell gave a speech and toasted to the guests.
Several maids followed Bai Hao and Kalia closely as they moved among the many delicacies. As soon as Kalia saw new and interesting food, she asked the maids to bring some for them. Bai Hao would eat a little of whatever Kalia ate. Bai Hao's principle for eating has always been to just eat enough.
With the cover of the maids and Kalia, Bai Hao has been using his magic empowerment. Through preliminary tests, Bai Hao concluded that his empowerment "Divine Vision" can only observe the magic source within ten meters of himself at most, but cannot see the strength of the opponent's magic or the remaining magic. This seems to be a passive skill that does not consume magic or mental power.
For a more specific test, Bai Hao plans to make a plan when he returns home tonight, using various scientific experimental thinking from his previous life to accurately calculate his own magical capabilities.
Bai Hao knew very well that in order to explore this world he must first understand himself. As he thought about this, Bai Hao's researcher soul was already ignited.
Some nobles and wealthy businessmen looked at Bai Hao with an itch in their hearts, as if they were looking at a mountain of gold. Although the marriage agreement between Count Capet and Count Campbell was a well-known fact, no one expected that Bai Hao could really succeed in opening up the source of income.
Many nobles from other places now regret not bringing their own children who are about the same age as Bai Hao. Some local nobles and wealthy businessmen had already planned to bring their own children of appropriate age to the dinner when Bai Hao successfully opened up his business at noon.
Not only was polygamy popular in the Omo Empire, but polyandry was also popular. There were also many noble men who had sexual habits and many noble women who liked to have sex with each other.
Under the premise of ensuring reproduction, many powerful wizards or wealthy merchants are more or less like this. That is why the wealthy Earl Campbell has only one wife, or the powerful Lady Campbell has no male favorites, which is extremely rare in the Omo Empire, even in the human kingdom.
Bai Hao was a little unhappy because when he was about to conduct further tests, a group of children of a few years old followed him around. They were both boys and girls, but they all kept talking to Bai Hao from time to time, which made Bai Hao feel annoyed but helpless.
Many local minor nobles or wealthy businessmen also mentioned Bai Hao's marriage intentionally or unintentionally during their conversations with the Campbells.
Earl Campbell dealt with it calmly, while Elsa was smiling happily. Except for the fact that she would not accept the male-female relationship that could not produce offspring, she was willing to accept all of Bai Hao's concubines.
Some nobles who only had boys in their families were unwilling to accept this. They quoted from classics, saying that a certain prince always had male favorites accompanying him when he studied or hunted, and who would serve him and learn martial arts from him. They also quoted the academic research of the elves, saying that men have higher body heat and are more suitable for warming the bed than female concubines, and so on.
Bai Hao could no longer tolerate the chattering of children around him. In his previous life, he was a researcher and a scholar. Nothing made Bai Hao more uncomfortable than being interrupted when he was exploring the unknown.
Bai Hao thought about it. He was only a two-year-old child, and he was also the young master of the Campbell family, whose status, strength, and financial resources were extremely strong. Wouldn't it be unworthy of his status as the young master of the Campbell family to be so willful and arrogant? So Bai Hao decisively pulled Kalia, who was still looking for new food, towards his father.
When the father saw Bai Hao and Kalia walking towards him aggressively, he was curious about what had happened.
The childish Bai Hao pulled the confused Kalia and looked at his father firmly. He said in an unquestionable tone: "Father, I want to be like you in the future and have only mother as my wife." Then, he raised Kalia's hand that was still holding a half-eaten lobster and said loudly: "Kalia will be my only wife from now on."
Nobles valued elegance, so the conversations at the banquet were not loud, and the string music played by the band on the side could be clearly heard. Therefore, although Bai Hao was young, he was able to speak loudly, and his childish voice quickly spread throughout the auditorium.
Earl Campbell looked at the determined eyes of his young child. Although he wondered why his child had such a special liking for Kalia, whom he had only met for less than a day, he still nodded to Bai Hao with appreciation.
Bai Hao's mother, Elsa, came over to persuade Bai Hao. As a mother, she naturally wanted to hold her grandson as soon as possible.
Bai Hao remained unmoved by his mother's persuasion, and still said proudly: "No, I just won't!" Bai Hao looked very cute in Elsa's eyes, and she soon agreed to Bai Hao with a doting look on her face.
Although Count Capet, who was standing next to Count Campbell, had an elegant smile on his face, he was actually extremely ecstatic in his heart. He was a little worried just now whether Kalia would be able to maintain a sufficient status in the Campbell family harem in the future, but now he just wanted to go back and celebrate for a few days.
Kalia, whose hand was still held by Bai Hao, thought about her father's repeated admonitions not to disobey Bai Hao, but she looked at the hand holding the lobster held by Bai Hao, with a frown and a look of confusion on her face, which unexpectedly matched Bai Hao's serious expression at the moment.
