Ingrid returned to the dormitory with a sword bag on her back and raised the gold-rimmed invitation in her hand: "I just came back from the swordsmanship practical class, and someone asked me to give this invitation to Sonia."
Adele went over to take a look at it, curled her lips, and threw it into the trash can: "A young viscount dares to send an invitation letter. It's really a toad that wants to eat swan meat... Ingrid, let me teach you, like this
If there are less than three stars in the invitation letter, you can say "I don't know Sonia very well" to refuse. If there is a moon star, then you can take it back, because it means that the sender is at least an earl or above.
Official heir."
"What if there is a shining star?" Although Ingrid was born into a noble family, she had never studied heraldry since she was a child and knew nothing about these noble etiquettes.
"That means you are an olive branch from the royal family." Adele said: "You need to kneel down on one knee, put on white gloves and accept the invitation to show respect for the royal family... Haha, just kidding, in fact, just accept it normally.
Okay, but maybe you can win the favor of the royal family by doing this!"
Originally Adele was just joking, but when she saw Ingrid's thoughtful expression, she couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Are you really considering it?"
Ingrid asked: "Why not consider it? Isn't the opportunity to establish a relationship with the royal family very rare?"
Adele scratched her face: "But... how to put it, Ingrid, you have always given us the impression that you will not bend for power, let alone wrong yourself for interests. After all, Sonia said before that she would introduce you to Special
Professor Luozan, you are not even willing to..."
"I will not bow down to power, nor will I compromise myself for interests." Ingrid nodded: "In the past few days since I became a magician, many nobles have shown goodwill to me through various channels, and I have not
Pay attention to them."
"Then why are you willing to bow to the royal family?"
"Being bowed to other nobles is called selling oneself to the powerful, but working for the royal family is called making a contribution to society. How can it be the same?" Ingrid rolled her eyes at Adele and went over to put down her sword bag: "I'm not a fool.
The goal after becoming a swordsman is to join the Star Magician system. If there is an opportunity to have a higher starting point, why should I refuse?"
Adele understood that the reason why Ingrid was so courageous was because she had determined early on that her master could only be this country, and the master of the Star Kingdom was the royal family, so she would only be loyal to the royal family and would never
Will accept the solicitation of other nobles.
"But why don't they just look for Sonia?" Ingrid was a little surprised: "Sonia goes to the training ground every day, isn't it easy to find her?"
"They don't dare."
Lois rubbed her eyes, yawned and got out of bed, and said: "Nobles are the most concerned about face. If it is known that Sonia rejected their banquet invitation, they will only be embarrassed, not Sonia."
.But if the invitation is sent through us, no one will know even if you reject it... No, my head hurts, Adele."
"Come on, come on." Adele quickly mixed a glass of honey water and handed it to Lois. Lois poured it into her mouth. Ingrid asked curiously: "Lois, are you hungover?"
"Normal people will be hungover when they go to bed after drinking alcohol." Lois muttered.
When Sonia returned triumphantly from Locus University in the early morning, the entire girls' dormitory was in an uproar and a celebration party was held all night long.
Originally, the dormitory teacher still had objections, but after Professor Trozan directly paid for Secret Garden to send several boxes of wine overnight, the dormitory teacher could only reluctantly drink two drinks.
It is inevitable that the girls' dormitory is so excited. Although Sonia has been focusing on swordsmanship training this month and has not participated in any girls' activities, you must know that during the last semester, Sonia was very diligent in expanding her contacts.
Not a close acquaintance, but at least acquaintance.
Therefore, after Sonia's rise, the girls also silently paid attention to this poor beautiful college student. Some of them were blessed, some were jealous, and some were disgusted. But no matter what, they were all paying attention to Sonia, and as Sonia
Due to Nia's unimpeded swordsmanship training and her dazzling achievements again and again, many of them gradually changed their mentality, secretly cheered for Sonia, and became her first fans.
In fact, most of the students at Jianhua University come from the middle class of Kalashi, low-level aristocratic families and business families. Although most of them are born with rich clothes and fine food, their spiritual world is often very empty. The prosperous Kalashi only goes into their minds.
It is filled with vanity and fun, and does not give them the responsibility and ideals they deserve.
The better ones, like Lois, still know how to study hard and take over the family business in the future; the worse ones, like Adele, study at Jianhua University for four years, get married right after graduation, have a few children and then...
If she continues to mess around for the rest of her life, there will be someone who will keep track of her life anyway.
They are like lavishly dressed scarecrows, left to make ends meet.
At the beginning, the reason why Adele and Lois, the two local natives, excluded Sonia and Ingrid was actually the conflict between the scarecrow and the fire. Both Ingrid and Sonia had it in their hearts.
With clear ideal goals, their souls no longer exude the flame called "struggle" all the time, which will naturally attract the scarecrow's alienation.
But now things have changed.
Because Sonia is no longer a fire, she has risen and become a rising star.
Scarecrows will be afraid of the burning pain of fire, but they will not be afraid of the sunshine of shining stars. On the contrary, they long for the sunshine to enrich their souls. As long as the shining stars become brighter and brighter, they will feel that their empty souls seem to become more fulfilling.
More brilliant.
In fact, Lois was the first one to be affected. In order to catch up with Sonia, she had quietly turned down all invitations, stopped attending tea parties, quit the club, and even listened carefully in class to study the water arts faction wholeheartedly.
, the learning achievements in this month are worth the meaningless social life that occupied her mind in the past six months.
So after seeing Sonia kill the alchemy bear in the curtain live broadcast, they were so happy that they almost jumped up in the dormitory. The honor of the Jianhua students and Sonia's achievements, these two joys overlapped.
It brought them more joy.
Last night's celebration party didn't end until dawn. There were still traces of yesterday's carnival in the dormitory. The trash can was full of wine bottles and cans, and there were even confetti from fireworks tubes on the ground. It was a shame they could find the celebratory fireworks so late at night.
Lois was not a magician yet. She was already exhausted from staying up late to watch the curtain live broadcast. In addition, there was a celebration party in the early morning, which meant she stayed up late and drank wine. The more she drank, the more tired she became. She fell asleep drunk in bed at dawn and ran away.
A full day of classes.
On the contrary, Adele drank a lot but didn't have any trouble. She stayed up all night and was still energetic without having to sleep. According to her, it was her 'talent honed by staying up late and watching dramas'. Lois is now suffering from a hangover. See
Adele played with the curtains radiantly and couldn't help but stamp her with her foot.
"Sorry!" Lois took the initiative and shouted immediately.
Adele was immediately unfazed by her and muttered: "You know you'll blame me for your anger..."
"Where is Sonia?" Ingrid asked. She was exploring the virtual realm last night and came back in the morning to celebrate that the party was over. "Are you still outside?"
"She came back at noon," Adele pursed her lips: "She has been lying in bed."
Ingrid looked over and realized that Sonia had been lying on the bed playing with the curtains, clicking here and there very seriously. Sometimes she smiled happily, sometimes she gritted her teeth, sometimes she was serious and deep, sometimes she was elated, and her expression could change several times in one minute.
The swordsman girl blinked her eyes: "Why is she suddenly obsessed with the curtain? She is just like someone..."
"Ingulit, you have changed." Adele said quietly, "You would not have cursed people in such a roundabout way before."
"I didn't say it was you!"
"How dare you argue? I don't know who is most addicted to curtains in this building!?"
