Most of the people who attended the cocktail party looked at Mu Hua from a distance. Mu Hua did not take the initiative to say hello, and people at the cocktail party did not dare to approach Mu Hua casually. However, some people who knew Otis greeted Otis from time to time. Nod and wave.
After a brief greeting with Kevin and others, Otis and Nick also stood up and joined in the cocktail party. They were familiar with this kind of occasion.
This kind of cocktail party is not a formal occasion. Except for the host family, no one will be overly respectful and courteous to anyone based on their status. It will look nondescript.
In addition to gathering for chatting and the attraction between the opposite sex, in essence, the people who come to the appointment come more to make some close friends at the cocktail party.
Wealth, power, resources, and exchange needs are all based on facts, so clinging and kneeling will be somewhat rejected here.
Mu Hua no longer sat in a concave shape. Being watched in a conspicuous place made him feel like a beast being visited in a zoo.
I moved with Vivian and others to a less conspicuous position by the window, but the eyes that followed them never disappeared.
"Mu, are you accepting a disciple?" Kevin asked Mu Hua as he approached him.
"The last guy who wanted to be my apprentice was a perverted murderer." Mu Hua teased. Charles, who was standing behind him, twitched his eyes. He didn't need to think too much to know that Mu Hua was talking about Louis.
“Hey, I’m serious.” Kevin was dissatisfied. Olivia next to him saw his approachable and casual attitude towards Mu Hua, and she inevitably had the idea of knocking him out and dragging him away.
She was a little worried that if Mu Hua took the photo, it would be difficult to spell it out with full beard and tail. . .
"What I said is serious, what? What do Webster have in mind?" Mu Hua rolled her eyes at Kevin and asked Paji.
When I first met Kevin in the early years, he also struggled with the issue of becoming apprentices, including Annie who had completed the Witch's Awakening. However, Webster did not want them to become adventurers at that time, and had always prohibited them from getting involved in adventurers. field.
"Oh~, I have some ideas." Paji sighed, handed Vivian a glass of wine, and then looked at Kevin and Annie.
"Probably because they saw the hope of family revival, and the two of them were unable to inherit Weber's title, Weber wanted to try to let them develop in the direction of adventurers." Paji said vaguely, but Mu Hua probably understood the meaning.
Originally, Webster guarded one-third of an acre of land in the human world, and did not expect any development for his children. He just wanted to keep his life and his family's property in peace.
But as Bridges blew up his family with his heartbeat, Webster was given a hand by the royal family. While taking charge of Ukuru, never mind whether Kevin and Anne still wanted to have a stable relationship. A settler, after all, Webster didn't think much of it.
"Kevin and Annie? What about you?" Mu Hua asked Paji after looking at Kevin and Annie, and then at Elzach and Olivia beside them.
"I, huh, I have post-traumatic stress disorder and can't cope with fighting monsters." Pudge smiled bitterly and shook her head.
Page's tone was relaxed. Post-traumatic syndrome has a large audience in this world. It can barely be regarded as an invisible threshold between settlers and adventurers.
Although Mu Hua is now able to catch demons and attack them at every turn, the battle between humans and demons is still very cruel.
Especially when you first get involved in hunting monsters, regardless of whether you are killing monsters or being killed by monsters, especially when you need to face the death of friends and relatives at the claws of monsters, people with delicate minds can easily suffer from that kind of disease. psychological problems.
Deman and Kunna both have post-traumatic stress disorder. Although Nick does not show it obviously, it is possible that he has it. When Paji mentioned it, Mu Hua and Vivian were stunned.
"Ha, sure enough, we are all wild." There was no emotional comfort. Mu Hua and Vivian looked at each other and laughed teasingly.
Tina and Charles shrugged on the side, and Alves even looked as if he had heard a cold joke, and clicked his tongue with a hint of disgust.
Paji rolled her eyes. It's hard for people who don't have post-traumatic syndrome to understand, and Mu Hua and these guys are obviously not delicate people.
But Paji has nothing to say about the attitude of several people. After all, they are not fearless. These guys have experienced a lot of life, death and crises.
Even though Mu Hua has been strong since he came to Loren, don't forget that he also experienced various crises when he was in Lanton. Obviously, don't expect to find resonance with Mu Hua and others on this topic. They definitely belong to the type who only laugh and look down upon movies like sensational tragedies.
"Elzach, how are you doing lately? I heard that you have joined the Presbyterian Church in the Blood Moon City? Setsuna has been following Tricia in the hot spring village all day long, and you don't care?" Ignoring the issue of post-traumatic stress disorder, Mu Hua greeted Elzhak.
That kind of mental illness can't be cured by jealousy. If he really wanted to overcome it, Mu Hua would probably only be able to come up with pain treatments, such as throwing the patient into the demonic tide and flopping more.
“I am not qualified enough to join the Presbyterian Church. I am just responsible for some communication matters between Ukuru Courtyard and the Blood Moon City.”
“Setsuna belongs to the neutral faction, even if the Presbyterian Council It’s difficult to restrain them, Mu, if it’s convenient, I have something you might be interested in,” Erzak said to Mu Hua.
"Huh? No, you'd better not say anything. I'm not interested in anything right now." Mu Hua put her arms around Vivian's waist, grabbed the wine glass from Vivian's hand and sipped it. After taking a sip, he returned the wine glass to her with a teasing tone, but his attitude of not wanting to answer Elzack's conversation was already clear.
"Hey, guys, is the previous topic over?" Erzak wanted to say something else, but Kevin interrupted him with dissatisfaction.
"Otherwise? What do you want to say?" Mu Hua smiled. Kevin didn't care much about the relationship between Mu Hua and Webster in the past. He always got along with Mu Hua as a peer. Don't hate this feeling.
Of course, this lack of dislike is due to the influence of past friendships and various relationships. If a young man were to behave like this, Mu Hua would probably make him proud.
"Apprenticeship, apprenticeship, Annie and I both need a leader." Kevin said.
"Just ask the Vampires. Regardless of whether it's adventure or demon hunting, they should be able to help you make arrangements, right? They can also make you familiar with the world of adventurers step by step."
"As for me, don't talk about following me and hanging out with Tebitha for two days. I might even give you incense." Mu Hua looked at Elzach and Olivia and said to Kevin.
Kevin and Annie have always been well protected by Webster. They are definitely novices among newbies, and the stronger the leader, the better.
Mu Hua's forces would break out into battles with monsters from time to time. Even if they were sweeping the Garden of the Undead, the intensity of the Dandelion Brigade's sweeps was not something ordinary adventurers could adapt to.
Going among Mu Hua’s forces to find the leader, Kevin and Annie were afraid that they would fall into a trap in any minute.
"The vampires are not good, and Weber also needs some external relationships to check and balance the vampires. Mu, take me with you, my talent is very strong." Kevin said carelessly.
"...Are you okay with saying this in front of them?" Mu Hua twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Olivia and Erzak again.
"What's the problem? If we deepen the relationship with you, it will also be beneficial to their development in the vampire clan." Kevin put his arm around Olivia's shoulders, and Olivia gave him a helpless look.
Yes, the relationship here is a bit convoluted, but it is not too difficult to understand. Mu Hua was not interested in it. He glanced at Paji and just wanted to send Kevin away.
"You are not needed to deepen the relationship. I can just marry Paji." Mu Hua said.
"Huh? Paji? You want to marry her?" Kevin was surprised. Anne, who had always been relatively well-behaved and silent, opened her eyes wide, her eyes flickering between Paji and being held in Mu Hua's arms. Vivian swept back and forth.
Well, she didn't look at Mu Hua, but stared at Paji and Vivian, wondering about something.
"Hey, Mu, I advise you to think it over carefully, Paji or something..." Facing Mu Hua who nodded in confirmation, Kevin was surprised and restrained, and instead showed an expression of disgust as if he was seeking death.
Just looking at his regretful pout and his exhortative tone, it was obvious that Kevin couldn't say anything good about his eldest sister.
Before Kevin could finish his words, it was not that the boy restrained himself, but that Olivia covered his mouth.
Under Pudge's gritted gaze, Olivia dragged away her husband who was more likely to die young at the right time. . . (End of this chapter)
