Chapter 692 The Weber Family
Most 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 Odysseus nodded and waved to Odysseus from time to time.
After a brief greeting with Kevin and others, Odysseus and Nick also stood up and joined the cocktail party. They were more familiar with this kind of occasion.
This kind of cocktail party is not a formal occasion. Except for the host, everyone will not show excessive respect and courtesy to anyone because of their status, which will appear out of place.
In addition to gathering and chatting, in addition to the attraction between the opposite sex, in essence, the people who came to the appointment are more to make some close friends at the cocktail party.
Wealth, power, resources, and exchange are all based on real things, so the situation of clinging and licking will be more or less rejected here.
Mu Hua no longer sat down to pose. Being watched in a conspicuous place made him feel like a beast being visited in a zoo.
Together with Vivian and the others, they moved to a less conspicuous window seat, but the sights that followed them never disappeared.
"Mu, are you accepting apprentices?" Kevin asked Mu Hua as he approached him.
"The last guy who wanted to be my apprentice was a perverted murderer." Mu Hua teased, and Charles, who was standing behind him, twitched his eyes. He knew without thinking that Mu Hua was talking about Louis.
"Hey, I'm serious." Kevin was dissatisfied. And Olivia, who was beside him, saw his casual attitude towards Mu Hua, and couldn't help but have the idea of knocking him out and dragging him away.
She was a little worried that if Mu Hua knocked him, it would be a bit difficult to put it together. . .
"I'm serious too, what's the matter? What does Webster think?" Mu Hua rolled his eyes at Kevin, but asked Paddy.
When he first met Kevin, he also had a hard time with the issue of apprenticeship, including Anne who had completed the witch awakening. However, Webster did not want them to become adventurers at that time and had always prohibited them from entering the adventurer field.
"Alas, I have some ideas." Padge sighed, handed Vivian a glass of wine, and then looked at Kevin and Anne.
"Maybe he saw the hope of the family's revival, and the two of them could not inherit Weber's title, so Weber wanted to try to let them develop in the direction of adventurers." Padge said vaguely, but Mu Hua probably understood the meaning.
Originally, Webster guarded his own little piece of land in the human world, and for his children, he did not ask them to have any development, just to keep their lives and their family business safely.
But as Bridges played with his heartbeat and blew up his family, Webster was helped by the royal family. While he was in power in Ukuru, he didn't care whether Kevin and Anne still wanted to be a stable resident. In short, Webster didn't want to.
"Kevin and Annie? What about you?" Mu Hua looked at Kevin and Annie, and then looked at Elzak and Olivia beside them, and asked Padge.
"I, haha, I have post-traumatic stress disorder, and I can't cope with fighting monsters." Padge smiled bitterly and shook her head.
Padge's tone was relaxed. There are not many "recipients" of post-traumatic stress disorder in this world. It can barely be regarded as an invisible threshold between residents and adventurers.
Although Mu Hua often catches monsters and starts a big fight now, the battle between humans and monsters is still very cruel.
Especially when you first get involved in hunting monsters, no matter whether you kill monsters or are killed by monsters, especially when you need to face the death of friends and relatives at the hands of monsters, people with delicate minds are prone to suffer from that kind of psychological problems.
Deman and Kunna both have post-traumatic stress disorder. Although Nick's performance is not obvious, he may also have it. At this moment, listening to Padge's talk, Mu Hua and Vivian were stunned.
"Ha, as expected, we are all wild." There was no emotional comfort. Mu Hua and Vivian looked at each other and laughed.
Tina and Charles shrugged their shoulders, and Alves looked like he had heard a cold joke, and tutted with a little disgust.
Paddy rolled her eyes. It was hard for people who didn't have post-traumatic stress disorder to understand, and Mu Hua and his friends were obviously not delicate people.
However, Paddy had nothing to say about their attitudes. After all, they were not fearless. These guys had experienced many life and death and crises.
Even though Mu Hua was strong all the way after coming to Loren, don't forget that he also experienced various types of crises in Lanton.
Obviously, don't expect to find resonance with Mu Hua and his friends on this topic. They are definitely the type who can only ridicule and despise movies such as sensational tragedies.
"Elzak, how are you doing recently? I heard that you joined the Elder Council of Blood Moon City? Setsuna hangs out with Tricia in the hot spring town all day, and you don't care?" Ignoring the issue of post-traumatic stress disorder, Mu Hua greeted Elzak.
Jealousy, a mental illness, can't be cured. If he really wants to overcome it, Mu Hua can probably only come up with a pain treatment, such as throwing the patient into the magic tide to make him struggle more.
"I don't have enough qualifications to join the Elder Council. I'm just responsible for some communication affairs between the Ukulu Courtyard and the Blood Moon City."
"Setsuna is a neutral faction. Even the Elder Council finds it difficult to restrain them. Mu, if it's convenient, I have something here that might interest you." Elzak said to Mu Hua.
"Hmm? No, you'd better not say anything. I'm not interested in anything now." Mu Hua put his arm around Vivian's waist, snatched the wine glass from Vivian's hand, took a sip, and then returned the glass to her. His tone was teasing, but his attitude of not wanting to pick up Elzac's words was clear.
"Hey, guys, is the previous topic over?" Elzac wanted to say something, but Kevin interrupted him with dissatisfaction.
"What else? 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 treated Mu Hua as a peer. Mu Hua didn't hate this feeling.
Of course, this kind of dislike was influenced by past friendships and various relationships. If a random young man came to do this, Mu Hua would probably just praise him.
"Become a disciple, be a disciple. Annie and I both need a guide." Kevin said.
"Just find the vampires. No matter whether it's adventure or demon hunting, they should be able to arrange it for you, right? They can also gradually familiarize you with the world of adventurers."
"As for me, don't even mention following me. If you hang out with Tabetha for two days, I might even have to pay my respects to you." Mu Hua looked at Elzak and Olivia and said to Kevin.
Kevin and Annie have always been well protected by Webster. They are definitely novices among novices. The stronger the guide, the better.
Mu Hua's forces will occasionally fight with monsters. Even if they are sweeping the Undead Courtyard, the intensity of the Dandelion Brigade's sweep is not something that ordinary adventurers can adapt to.
If they run to Mu Hua's forces to find a guide, Kevin and Annie will probably fall into a trap in a minute.
"The vampires are not good, and Weber also needs some external relationships to check and balance the vampires. Mu, take me with you. I have a strong talent." Kevin said carelessly.
"...You, is it okay to say this in front of them?" Mu Hua twitched his lips and looked at Olivia and Elzak again.
"What's the problem? We have a deeper relationship with you, which is also beneficial to their development in the blood clan." Kevin put his arm around Olivia's shoulders, and Olivia rolled her eyes at him helplessly.
Well, the relationship here is a bit complicated, but it's not too difficult to understand. Mu Hua was not interested in it. He glanced at Paddy and just wanted to get rid of Kevin.
"I don't need you to deepen the relationship. I can just marry Paddy." Mu Hua said.
"Huh? Paddy? You want to marry her?" Kevin was surprised. Anne, who had always been well-behaved and silent, widened her eyes and glanced back and forth between Paddy and Vivian, who was held in Mu Hua's arms.
Well, she didn't look at Mu Hua, but stared at Paddy and Vivian, wondering what she was thinking about.
"Hey, Mu, I advise you to think it over carefully, about Padge and so on..." Facing Mu Hua who nodded in confirmation, Kevin's surprise subsided, and he showed a look of disgust as if he wanted to die.
Just looking at his pouting regret and the tone of advice from an experienced person, it is obvious that Kevin should not have anything good to say about his eldest sister.
Kevin didn't finish his words, not because this kid restrained himself, but because he was covered by Olivia's mouth.
Under Padge's gnashing gaze, Olivia dragged her husband, who was more likely to die young, away at the right time. . . (End of this chapter)
