Chapter 285 Education and Aesthetics
Can you fly?
Xia'er's words awakened the dreamer from his dream. The scene in the dream was a replica of the scene during the day when Xia, Da, and Fo rode on a flying carpet and enjoyed the scenery at sea. The background was high in the sky. In reality, they could not fly, but in the dream, they could walk on air.
Edwina's dream was anchored to Danitz, while Klein directly entered through the Nightmare Spell. Does the spell's power include flying in dreams?
Whoosh!
Before realizing it, it felt like walking on an invisible wall. Now that he suddenly realized the problem, Klein almost fell into the vast ocean below. The alcohol lamp that wasn't used on the flying carpet was still lit to set the mood, so he did a Flame Jump and sat around the round table with the other three.
The scene became somewhat awkward for a moment.
Klein held his hat, which had almost flown off, while Danitz covered his mouth and lowered his head, seemingly deep in thought. Chael stirred his coffee.
Edwina glanced at the three men, her pale blue eyes blinking almost imperceptibly, seemingly harboring a hint of a smile.
"This is Gehrman Sparrow, a newly debuted and powerful adventurer capable of independently hunting down a Blood Admiral, Second Lieutenant."
"This is Edwina Edwards, Lieutenant General Iceberg."
After a brief introduction by Chael, Danitz inexplicably became smug, as if he had just realized that Gehrman Sparrow was indeed less famous than his own captain.
"good afternoon."
Edwina greeted her.
Good afternoon, madam.
Klein calmed himself down, responded politely, and then waited for the other person to speak.
And so...
Silence fell over the room once again.
Klein did not speak.
Edwina didn't say anything either.
"I know that those who follow the reader's path are extraordinary, that they love knowledge, and that they must have a broad knowledge base."
"So you're also quite knowledgeable about fashion and such?"
Seeing that no one was speaking, Xia Er started chatting with Edwina.
"Mr. Alaya, I am first and foremost a woman, and only secondly a scholar."
Although Edwina isn't particularly enthusiastic about dressing up, she thinks she knows a lot about fashion—no, she knows a great deal about it!
She is simply not flamboyant or alluring, but she pursues refinement.
"How about trying a few different hairstyles and seeing how they look?"
With a snap of his fingers, Chael caused ripples to spread through the dream. A mirror appeared in front of Edwina, and behind her, a servant, barely human in shape and filled with lines, appeared, each holding a pair of scissors and a comb, awaiting the next command.
For him, there's no need to talk about any deals; perhaps the only fun thing is playing around with dress-up or something.
"Is that even possible?" Danitz looked up, his mouth now covered tightly, whereas before he had only half-covered it. The captain had been using this hairstyle for a long time, and if he could see anything else... At this moment, Xia'er's status in Danitz's heart had been elevated to that of a sworn brother, a benefactor who had given him a second life, and a godfather sent from heaven.
No… Klein looked at “Angel” with a somewhat unfocused gaze. You’ve finished introducing him, so why don’t you help guide the conversation and get things moving? What are you doing now?
He then looked at Danitz, and this guy. He had already hinted at what he wanted to see Lieutenant General Iceberg, so he should help him say so!
Are you scared?
Xia Er looked at the Iceberg General with a slightly provocative expression. If the other party flipped the table, he would log off and let Mr. Fool continue to discuss cooperation. If the other party logged off, then they would postpone the cooperation for a few days. However, these were all low-probability events.
"That's also acceptable."
Edwina spoke calmly, her fingers brushing across the mirror. Her hairstyle changed; the knot at the back of her head loosened, transforming into naturally flowing medium-length straight hair. The attendant behind her quickly trimmed her hair, letting her bangs fall down, revealing a quiet and refined demeanor.
Of course, she wouldn't be easily scared off or stumped. As long as the communication was normal and reasonable, she could handle it calmly. Of course, she could also talk about things like styling, as she was not ignorant about it. It was just that she would decide what style to change to.
"It can be revised."
Chael regained control of the servant, gently curling the ends of Edwina's hair inward to better accentuate her oval face shape.
"However, I'd actually like to see other looks, such as..."
He snapped his fingers, and Edwina in the mirror sported a new pigtail hairstyle, with a sweet smile on her lips. She looked like a girl next door who wanted to win big. After all, you usually don't smile like that if you don't want to win big; you'd be more reserved and quiet.
Looking at her adorable, almost sweet, reflection in the mirror, Edwina's calm expression faltered. With lightning speed, she flipped the mirror face down onto the table, preventing Danitz from peeking through.
Call ~
Taking a deep breath and trying to forget the images in her mind, when the Iceberg General's extremely oppressive gaze fell on Xia'er, that spot was already empty, and even the humanoid attendant behind her, whose outline was only vague, had vanished.
He ran away.
This stirred up a renewed sense of annoyance in Edwina, who had just regained her composure. She could only suppress it for the time being and looked at Klein, who was maintaining his persona, and said proactively:
"Danitz said, 'You have some questions for me?'"
Captain, please stop!
Danitz was screaming inwardly, desperate to know what the captain had seen. He had been so focused on admiring the captain's new hairstyle that he had been a beat too late.
Where is his good brother/godfather? Please share!
Danitz is now really keen to leave the group and find Xia'er, but he's the group owner, and this dream world can't end without him.
Klein was also starting to lose his composure, because he caught a glimpse of "Angel" returning. He really didn't want to chime in and help "Angel" attract the attention of the Iceberg General, but he was there to discuss cooperation, not to feel like he was sitting on pins and needles and ruin his image, so he could only respond.
Klein answered, so out of politeness, even if Edwina also noticed that Shael had returned, she could only pretend not to see her and ask her question as usual:
"Mr. Sparrow, have you received any education?"
Did you really think this through?
Klein's reply was equally half-hearted: "Graduated from university."
"You actually graduated from university?" Danitz thought as if he had heard a Soviet joke. How could the school allow such a dangerous person to sneak in? Did he graduate by threatening his professors?
Edwina glanced at Chael, noticing he was still stirring his coffee, and asked, "How many languages do you speak?"
"Dragon Language, Giant Language, Elven Language, Ancient Hermes Language, Hermes Language, Ancient Fusak Language, Rune Language—"
Klein frowned slightly, sensing something was amiss, but still answered.
Edwina hummed in agreement.
Are you familiar with other areas of the occult?
Hmm... I didn't provoke you just now, did I?
Klein felt awkward and looked at "Angel," who was still stirring his lousy coffee!
