Chapter 444: The Passionate Campbell People
It seems that due to the prevalence of life-saving magic technology, many civilians in Campbell County have become extremely open and confident. The main reasons are that they have spare money and more free time. Most people are no longer as busy trying to fill their stomachs as before.
In today's Campbell County, as long as you are not a lazy person who just eats and waits for death, there are countless ways for you to live like a human being. You can eat, drink and play. This has directly greatly improved the happiness of the people of Campbell, and therefore has invisibly affected the way people express their emotions.
This should have been a good thing, but it caused some trouble for Bai Hao and his group. Since Bai Hao wanted to intuitively experience the detailed changes in Campbell Territory, he chose to walk around the street in a conspicuous way, which directly led to a sharp increase in the number of times he was approached.
Except for a few guardian chiefs who were nearly two meters tall and whom no one dared to mess with, Bai Yue, who was transformed by Bai Hao, and the girls were almost all approached by all kinds of people. And the people who approached them were not limited to men, there were even some passionate and unrestrained older sisters.
As the saying goes, when you are well fed and clothed, you will desire sex. Now, under Campbell's leadership, the quality of life of civilians has been visibly improved. Without increasing taxes, public welfare benefits are constantly improving, and everyone can have enough food to eat.
Under this premise, it seemed that what Campbell led the civilians to think about was some spiritual enjoyment of romance, which directly led to the second spring of development of brothels, taverns and theaters under Campbell's leadership.
The looks of Bai Hao and his group stood out from the crowd in the Campbell Night Market. In addition, Bai Hao and his group were just at the right age for marriage, so they naturally attracted many hungry young people from Campbell.
It was not so bad when shopping in the inner city, as most of the upper-class nobles there were still a bit reserved, and the complicated aristocratic etiquette and upper-class knowledge also made the people in the inner city less enthusiastic.
However, the situation in the outer city was completely different. Bai Hao truly felt what walking hormones were. Almost every time they walked down a street, they would encounter several Campbell youths in their teens or twenties who would chat with them, and they were the more difficult type.
But generally speaking, he was still polite and didn't engage in any inappropriate or hooligan behavior. In most cases, those young people would leave in disappointment after some persuasion. The experience of rejecting approachable people many times also allowed Bai Hao to summarize a set of speech templates.
The words that Bai Hao used to reject Painan not long ago were the essence of what he had summarized after rejecting dozens of people who approached him. After all, the atmosphere in Campbell County is still very traditional, and people are very resistant to married people cheating, so as long as he said that he was married, most people who approached him would give up.
But this is obviously not enough to deal with some people who are as thick-skinned as the Holy Wall of Oslo, so they have to emphasize that they are an "old woman" who has been married several times and has many children. Finally, they must speak in a cold tone that cannot be refused to maximize the damage.
Pai Nan watched Bai Hao's departing back with a broken heart, and couldn't help beating his chest and stamping his feet, saying, "Damn it! Is it really that hard to find true love? Am I really doomed to be alone forever?"
"Brother, wake up. My sister-in-law is still alive and well at home, and my nephew is almost one year old." Patrick curled his lips and shook his head as he looked at Paimon's lovelorn look.
"That was because I was young and naive. I was hooked by your sister-in-law's casual flirting. I was completely mesmerized by her skirt lifting." Painan sighed heavily and said, "Who knew that when I looked back, I had become a prisoner of marriage, helplessly watching all the beauties slip by like mist..."
Patrick nodded when he heard this, and praised sincerely: "Brother is worthy of being the top student in the school in terms of academic performance. You can recite such complex Eastern poems easily. My sister-in-law will definitely be proud of you when she hears it!"
"Haha, there's no need to tell your sister-in-law about this kind of whining poem," Painan said nervously, sweating profusely as he put his arm around Patrick's shoulders, "And the conversation I had with Miss Bai just now..."
"Brother, then my complete set of picture books of the Adventures of Viscount Campbell..."
"I'll take you to buy it after lunch tomorrow!"
"I want the first limited edition, which also comes with Viscount Campbell's autograph and peripheral photo stickers!"
"You must be kidding me. How much extra money will that cost? How much money can I make painting a few pieces of rotten wood every day? Don't be so arrogant..."
Upon hearing this, Patrick immediately closed his eyes, shook his head and said, "I am destined to be alone, I am a prisoner of marriage, and I think all the beauties are like drifting clouds and smoke..."
"Okay, okay, buy them all, buy them all, and you can show off to your friends tomorrow night!" Painan quickly covered Patrick's mouth and said anxiously.
Although it was close to midnight, the streets were still crowded with people, and the sounds of hawking, bargaining and talking were heard one after another. The brothers' quarrel did not cause a splash in the bustling Campbell Night Market, but was just like a trickle merging into the waves, becoming part of the excitement.
In a somewhat shabby tavern in the outer city, a group of drunkards were watching the "feat" of a dwarf. They shouted the countdown numbers in unison, each one more excited than the last, and corresponding to it were the gurgling sounds of heavy drinking.
"Oh my Goddess of the Moon, Cooper has done it again..."
"Give me the money, give me the money, I'll pay you back twice as much, and you can't refuse to pay!"
"Could this guy Cooper have used some kind of magic? Is his stomach just for storing wine?"
"Hahaha, you are worthy of being called Campbell Dionysus..."
Cooper shook the jar of wine in his hand in a trance, showing everyone around him that there was not a drop of wine left in it. Then he threw it heavily to the ground and patted his round beer belly to show that he was still invincible.
With a ruddy face, Shiori looked at Cooper who was holding the jar and gulping down a glass of wine and said excitedly: "Amazing, really amazing, he has the momentum of me when I was 200 years old. I didn't expect that Cook's brother is actually a genius, a genius in drinking!"
"Old dwarf, don't brag. Cooper is the famous wine god in Campbell!"
"Yes, he is the only ruthless person who can drink a whole medium-sized jar of white wine in three minutes!"
"When my grandfather was still wearing open-crotch pants, Cooper's name was already well known!"
"Who is bragging?!" Shiori was so anxious that he quickly flew onto the low table and said, "I used to be in Scott. You can go and ask if the dwarf who has ruled the Scott wine industry for hundreds of years is called Shiori!"
The drunken men at the surrounding tables were somewhat incredulous when they heard this, and started to make a fuss. Shiori had a bad temper, but after all, dwarves never had a good temper when it came to anything to do with alcohol, so a conflict was about to break out.
The bartender at the side sighed helplessly as he watched the tense situation, but he did not think of trying to stop the fight. After all, group fights were common in pubs, and it was a thankless job. The pub owner only paid him for wiping glasses and pouring wine.
The drunkards had drunk some wine and were very ruthless in their attacks. Usually, if they started fighting, they would just go with their feelings, without distinguishing between friend or foe. Whoever was hit by their fists would be in trouble.
Of course, several Campbell secret guards who were responsible for protecting Shiori also sighed along with the bartender. They had to ensure that Shiori would not get hurt in the upcoming fight, but at the same time they could not disturb Shiori's fun. After all, fighting in the tavern was also part of the fun of drinking.
Ten minutes later, after throwing a few gold coins to the bartender, the Campbell secret guards left the tavern with Shiori and Cooper, who were both intact. However, they did not return to Campbell Manor to rest, but continued to cause trouble in the next tavern.
The accompanying Campbell secret guards had become accustomed to Shiori's pattern of visiting taverns without drinking a drop of alcohol. They would chat with the drunkards, watch Cooper drink, brag to the drunkards, quarrel with the drunkards, fight with the drunkards, turn the tavern upside down, and then go to the next tavern to repeat the above steps.
