Chapter 465: Odin and the Gambling Covenant

Solid, deep marble spreads out to form the base of the huge bathroom......

In the myth of Creel, the four goddesses of the water are located in the four corners, and the clear spring water from outside the city flows from the silver bottles in the hands of the four goddesses.

On the black pool base, a heroic man sat leaning against the wall, his arms stretched on both sides, so that the muscular lines of the arms stretched into a masculine arch, closed his eyes and calmly enjoyed the moderate strength of the two maids.

The large and wide bathroom is like a temple, and the internal pillars are everywhere, the bath occupies nearly half of the area, and in the remaining half of the area, the maids with light but not revealing skirts stand opposite each other holding clothes and armor accessories, each pair of zhang, stretching from the edge of the bath to the temple gate, near the open space, a knight in neat clothes and accessories leans down on one knee.

The content of the knight's report has been reported, his eyes are hanging in front of him, the black marble floor reflects his reflection, the delay in responding does not seem to consume his patience, the knight listens to the occasional sound of water, the silence is calm like a stone carving, :.

Finally, a solemn male voice came from the other end of the bath:

"How long will it take?"

Without thinking, the knight replied, "No more than six magic hours." ”

"Now that you are ready, let's prepare to go," the commander said calmly, "the chariot to the Golden Palace of Loxena will set off first, and report to my father and father that I have finished washing before the festival, and will be there soon." ”

"Yes."

The knight who had been ordered to retreat.

The maids in the bathhouse did not need to be instructed, and immediately moved, like the goddesses who walked down the mural, each performing their duties, one by one, well-trained, and silent.

The man screeched to his feet, and countless droplets of water slid down his perfectly naked body, which resembled a marble sculpture. Then the long legs lifted onto the ground, not caring that the marble floor, which had just been wiped dry by the maid, became slippery again.

Two beautiful maids greeted him, holding a white bath towel, kneeling and standing to wipe his body, the man opened his arms and let the maid take care of the details of his body, the prince's formal clothes with black background and gold edges outlined a perfect physique, and only the pale green stubble was left on the neatly trimmed face, and from the outside, it was completely impossible to see that this man in his prime was nearly forty years old.

All the way to the palace gate under the service of the maid, and when he walked to the door, he was already fully dressed. The black carved door had already been opened, and as soon as the man stretched out his hand, the knight servant standing by the door hurriedly presented the man's usual saber with both hands...... The half-worn scabbard was placed on the man's waist.

"Your Highness, the car is ready."

"Let's go, go and meet my father. Then prepare to open the gates of the city and welcome our heroes returning from the front. ”

……

The carriage convoy and accompanying knights bound for the palace square trodden the flat and wide avenue and disappeared around the corner of the road. You don't have to see it yourself, just by the fragrance of the flowers brought by the wind, you can already imagine how many flowers bloom on both sides of the road.

At a window along the street, a man between a teenager and a young man withdrew his arm from the window, turned back to his companion in the room, and said, "Odin's carriage has entered the palace. ”

"Calculate the time, it's almost time to start. It's a pity that I can't go and see it. ”

"Doesn't it look the same here? Do you want to run out in the sun like the old men? The man lazily said, "This state funeral even Odin has to bathe and meditate three days in advance." I'm afraid that after all the rituals, dozens of old men will be stunned. ”

That being said, but in Merlin, where martial arts are prevalent, who wouldn't want to have the opportunity to participate in such a grand and grand ceremony?

If you can be one of the participants, it means that you have an affirmation of status and identity, and they can usually go in and out of the palace banquet. However, the younger generation, who have not received real positions and titles, are basically not qualified to officially participate in them. So in the hearts of the young people who thought that they were already rampant in the imperial capital, they really realized that under the surface of the life surrounded by beautiful women and alcohol, there was another world that really represented the power of power.

Especially among the young people of the imperial capital's generation, not all of them are not qualified to attend, and a few two or three people are also young stars, but they are not people in their circle, how can proud young people be willing to admit that they are inferior to their generation.

There are not only two people talking in the room, but the companions who usually have a circle of people basically gather here today.

They continued the topic above, picking on the ceremony that gathered all the eyes of the entire imperial capital, as if not doing so was not enough to express their disdain for it, and then the topic was somehow led to the identity of the recipient.

"If the rumors that came out before are true, then aren't most of the recipients in the capital injured, sick and disabled?" A young man grabbed the banana from the tray next to him, broke one but didn't eat it, took it in his hand and threw it while saying, other book friends are reading:.

"How could it not be true, His Majesty didn't suppress this matter at all, and the matter basically spread at the top, haven't you received the exact news until now?"

"I was thrown to the manor outside the city and locked up for more than half a month, and I only came back yesterday, and you don't know, where do you dare to ask the old man in my family," the previous voice explained, and said incredulously at the end, "Those damned papal dogs really dare to move our heads, are their brains caught in the door panel?" ”

"But I've heard that there's something else going on here...... It is said that the cardinal who appeared was a strange face who never appeared at all, but only claimed to be a member of the Holy See.

Appearing so blatantly is simply to pull hatred on the Holy Empire, even if the Holy Empire is all stupid, it will not be stupid to such a degree!

――Do you think that because of this, our Merlin Fortress really raised troops against the Holy Empire, and who was the happiest in the end? ”

The answer is self-explanatory.

Merlin, who is in a strong military atmosphere, even if he really has no military talent at all, he will at least know that in addition to the Holy Empire, the increasingly prosperous Pere is also a couch tiger, even more dangerous than the Holy Empire, and it is precisely because of the containment of the Three Kingdoms and the constraints of the Demon Race on Merlin that the situation of the separation of the three kingdoms on the continent has been stable for so many years.

Therefore, the young people finally understood why the resolution on this matter was delayed, and suddenly they also had their own opinions, divided into several parties, like those important ministers who presided over government affairs, and although they were close to each other, they finally had their own family positions. Opinions differed on whether to raise the army or delay the surrender, so the debate could not help but heat up.

The young man by the window saw that the situation was out of control, and hurriedly stopped it loudly:

"Okay, don't argue, this matter has nothing to do with us. According to my uncle, the key is still in the team of honorees outside the city, and the diplomatic letter to the Holy Empire is estimated to be heard soon, and it will not take more than half a month at most, and there will be a clear decision. ”

An aristocratic young man sitting near the window fell backwards, "Hey. Let's fight, I want to fight, just in time for age. There's no reason for my mom to stop me! ”

"Who doesn't want to go to war, I want to too! ……”

Several people have issued similar echoes, and among the others who have not spoken out, even if their position is not on the side of Xingbing, they may not have a "battlefield dream" similar to that of all aristocratic youths in their hearts.

"If you really want to find out the news. We definitely can't reach the adults in the Government Affairs Cabinet, but we can try to deal with those honorees. A brown-haired young man turned his eyes slightly, and suddenly mentioned yì.

"No, it's a bunch of soldiers."

Someone hesitated.

Indeed, although the young people of Merlin all have battlefield dreams, they are a group of noble children who are soaked in the prosperity of the imperial capital. and the soldiers who returned from the battlefield in the bitter cold land are all nobles, but it is as if one lives in the big city and the other lives in the country. There really isn't much in common.

Even if the cardinal incident that they are talking about now is hotly discussed, no one can personally experience the manipulation of the conspiracy behind it and the clash of forces, as well as the dangers faced by the recipients in the bureau.

"If you don't go, forget it, as far as I know. Not to mention anything else, in the ranks of the honorees. There is a beautiful woman who is rumored to be peerless! Seeing that the young man did not move for a while, his eyes turned around, and suddenly he said another aspect.

"Forget it, the person who came back from the place where he hadn't seen a female beast in ten years in the ice field, even if he saw the Polish family Benier, I'm afraid he would think it was a stunning beauty!" A young man said disdainfully.

His words caused everyone to laugh, and the Polish family is a member of their group of opponents, an unmarried young sister in the family has a mediocre appearance, although no one in the emperor looks at it, but in private, these arrogant and domineering kneeling children are not jealous, and they have mentioned it many times, so that the other party's name is also famous among the younger generation, but the other party does not know.

The brown-haired young man was secretly happy in his heart, excited that the other party would follow his own topic, but his face was slightly annoyed, and he glared at the other party, "I think the rumors must be true, it is said that even the new Grand Duke Stuart has anything to do with her, at least she should be a high-class beauty like Heidi, don't believe us, bet, other book friends are reading:!" ”

"Ha, if you compare Heidi with her, you don't value the daughter of the little baron, it's a ...... with the third prince" The speaker was patted and stopped talking, but the content was tacitly understood by everyone.

There are countless nobles in the imperial capital, and there are even a lot of nobles with titles without territory, such as His Royal Highness the prince or the children of the nobles who have the right to inherit from high nobles to play with these little noble daughters, which is part of the unspoken rules of the aristocratic circle, if you don't have an eye-catching appearance and plain zhì, you can't help it if you want to get on the side of His Royal Highness the prince!

However, although everyone knows this kind of thing, it is not good to discuss it in public when the other party is popular, maybe it will be bad if it offends His Royal Highness Charles one day.

So the topic goes back to the previous one.

"Then let's take a gamble, with Heidi as the standard, I bet that the other party is a first-class beauty at least on par with Heidi." The brown-haired youth said.

"Okay, bet!"

A cadre of people is afraid of not messing up, this kind of thing has long been commonplace in the lives of aristocratic children like them.

"Bet on it!"

Of course, those who are provoked will not show weakness, bets can be lost, but must not be warn, such an interesting gamble, for them is just a small gamble, he casually took off an antique pocket watch that he had carried with him for more than two years, and threw it away.

"Let's do it too, I'll bet on Goriel's side."

"I'm optimistic about Kress and bet on the half-year production of my manor outside the city!"

"I'm a year!"

Other aristocratic teenagers also placed bets one after another, and at the same time agreed on the rules of the referee, to hold a social salon, invite the gambling object, and let everyone involved in the salon secretly vote to show the fairness of the gambling referee.

What do you think of the people they are betting on?

Hah, isn't that normal?

In the imperial capital, every child who has entered the social circle, who has not been judged by such overt or covert scrutiny, he is embarrassed to say that he has integrated into the social circle of the imperial capital-

The other party should also thank them for helping her make her bigger, let everyone know her at once, and help this group of incompatible recipients open the door to the social circle!

In the midst of the commotion, the brown-haired young man who was the first to make a bet quietly came out of the room, summoned his attendants, and said in a low voice:

"Tell him it's done. She will definitely be known to everyone in the imperial capital for the first time. ”

For this group of young people with excessive hormones, is there a better conversation and goal than beauty?

It doesn't matter whether the salon and the gambling contract are successful or not, as long as she is noticed by these teenagers, her rumors will spread throughout the imperial capital aristocratic circle for the first time.

(To be continued)

ps:

Well, today is still a single update, giving away 500 words, outline ...... It's almost done, and it should be possible to double change tomorrow.

Touching my face, hey, there are too many characters out of the city, and when I think of the number of characters in the imperial capital, my scalp is numb, and I am dizzy when I set the relationship spectrum and name*_*~

Well, I recently saw a good rebirth text that traveled through ancient times and then reversed, "Rebirth Breaks the Cocoon into a Butterfly", the author's setting and plot are very compact and rhythmic, and the writing is also above the level, I believe that for most of the pros, it should be a good article.
