The banquet at night was very lively, with the Duchess in attendance, and many nobles were willing to give Xu Huo, the new baron, a favor, especially since he looked so rich.
Before the banquet was over, many aristocratic ladies came to chat with him. Due to their observation of the newcomers and the face issues of the older aristocrats, most of the older ones chatted politely and did not show too much enthusiasm.
The banquet hall was filled with the smell of food and wine. As the host, Xu Huo drank a lot and got a little drunk.
"Does Mr. Xu have any faith?" Selin came over holding a wine glass.
This is the eighth time tonight that he has started with this sentence.
Xu Huo looked at him with a half-smile, "You're not really coming to Area 011 to preach, are you?"
Selin laughed, "As a believer, shouldn't you remember the God you believe in anytime and anywhere? Besides, I am a person of noble character and never refuse others' help, which is in line with my teachings."
As he said that, he turned the topic back to the previous question, "Mr. Xu is really not going to join the religion? This is not only in District 011, but also in other districts. It is also a good breakthrough point to interact with people. Senior players who believe in religion in the game are not
few."
"Then what do you think the purpose of religion is?" Xu Huo asked, turning his wine glass.
"Of course it is to save all sentient beings." Selin's handsome face seemed to have a divine light, "Most people in the world are ignorant, and they spend their whole lives not knowing what they want and where they want to go.
Where there is no firm belief, one cannot stick to it in one’s heart, so one does good things and bad things in one’s life, and the injustice in the world is often the result of the tug of good and bad.”
"If everyone believed in religion and moved toward the destination of their souls, wouldn't there be a lot less pain in life?"
"What you said has nothing to do with religion." Xu Huo said: "A person's choice to do good or evil is based on his inner choice. Whether he joins a religion or not, doing good things or doing bad things is also a personal behavior."
"Do you think people are all ignorant? You are wrong. Even fools know that they are afraid of pain. A person's behavior must be in line with the current self-interest, whether it is actual benefits or psychological balance."
"When people see a window, they will naturally look for light. When they see light, people will also look for a window. You will think that they are 'ignorant' because you are standing outside the window, just like a reference book. You understand it halfway through.
There are twenty tools, why despise someone who has only read one-third of the tools you know?"
After hearing this, Selin said: "Isn't it okay if someone teaches them things they haven't learned in advance? If this is the case, how can civilization be passed down from generation to generation?"
"You don't understand two things clearly. First, it is human nature to pass on the fire from generation to generation. Second, why do you think religious people can save others?"
"What's the difference between you and ordinary people?" Xu Huo smiled, "It's not because you have an extra catchphrase."
Selin stopped drinking, "I didn't expect that Mr. Xu believed in letting nature take its course."
Xu Huo patted him on the shoulder, "Do you know why cults are so easily disintegrated?"
"There are still two points. First, its control is too broad. It only needs to control others as well as itself. Second, high returns represent high risks."
"A new religion has been introduced in Area 011 recently. If you are going to do it alone, you might as well help the Duchess choose her hat."
After he finished speaking, he left. Selin stayed where he was. The smile on his face had long since disappeared, but when he noticed the Duchess's gaze, he smiled unconsciously again.
Xu Huo went to the bathroom to wash his face. When he raised his head, he looked at the painting girl behind him in the mirror and said, "The bathroom is occupied, so you can't come in."
"I know." The goddess of painting typed mysteriously, "Let me ask you a secret."
"Do you hate that man just now?"
"Do you want me to help you kill him?"
Xu Huo turned around and looked at her steadily for a few seconds, "Everyone you hate will be killed. Are you a little tired?"
The painting girl looked slightly troubled, "I hate a lot of people, but not everyone can be killed. People in cartoons will never die, even if their brains are punched out."
"But living people can."
"Okay, let's go play. Don't pay attention to him. If he knows what he's interested in, he won't try his best to get in." Xu Huo stretched out his hand to open the door and called out to Angel who had just turned around before leaving, "It's not okay to wander around in other people's homes."
It’s a good habit, I hope you can change it next time.”
Angel quickly smiled and said, "I want to see if Miss Xu needs help."
The painting girl looked at her doubtfully.
The dinner ended successfully, Xu Huo sent away most of the guests, and Mr. Dong cleaned up the mess.
The Duchess, who was taking a drunken break, had not yet left, but Selin left.
Xu Huo paused and asked the painting girl to help her to the guest room.
The tipsy duchess finally opened her eyes, raised her fingers and stretched out to Xu Huo, "Help me."
Xu Huo went over to take the painter's place and helped her go upstairs steadily.
The Duchess put her lace-gloved palm on his chest and patted him, "Where is your room?"
Xu Huo took her to the guest room without saying a word, "Madam, have a good rest."
The duchess's face turned red, she kicked off her shoes and touched his trouser legs, "Both men and women need this kind of thing, and neither you nor I will suffer."
Xu Huo bent down and put the woman on the bed. He lifted the quilt and covered her, "A man shouldn't get to know a woman from the bed."
The princess laughed inexplicably.
When Xu Huo exited the room, he turned off the light and went back to the room to check his emails before falling asleep.
When she came downstairs the next day, the Duchess was already drinking morning tea. She was browsing the messages sent by the family assistant, and waved to him casually and naturally, "The Black Epaulettes just released the list of people entering the 009 area. There are quite a few people, but the senior
There are not many players, so if you want to go to Area 009, it would be a good idea to choose the E-level dungeon."
"E-level dungeons generally do not have partitions marked, but there are channels in Area 011 to learn that E-level dungeons are relatively safe. You still have a quota to go to E-level dungeons this year."
"Are there any good props that I can get in the E-level dungeon?" Xu Huo sat down at the dining table.
The Duchess smiled and said, "Nothing is guaranteed. If you are lucky, you may be able to get high-end props by just entering a random dungeon. If you are unlucky, you may not even see the high-end props placed in front of you."
"From the perspective of dungeon difficulty, E-level is the most suitable for investment."
She said, holding her chin with one hand and looking at Xu Huo, "But if you really want to go to other levels of dungeons, I can make connections and let you go to C-level dungeons, so that you can get some care."
Xu Huo took a sip of milk and said, "Is there any free breakfast in the world?"
The Duchess knocked on the tea cup in front of her, "Isn't this it?"
Her smile was full of the charm of a mature woman, "Don't worry about any additional conditions, as long as you pay me a certain percentage of what you get from the copy."
