Prologue (middle) first seen

The silver-haired boy shuttled through the bustling flow of people.

Today is a meaningful day for the Zhao Restaurant in the center of Fe City, because the high-level leaders of the Fe and H clans have chosen this place as the venue for the friendship reception between the two clans, and they have also invited the nobles of all races of the Metal Empire to participate, but the number of places is limited.

So in the eyes of the waiters in the restaurant, there was such a scene: gentlemen wearing top hats, tuxedos, and bow ties on their chests, and ladies wearing all kinds of gorgeous skirts and high heels, regardless of the reserved image created by painstaking solitude on weekdays, crowded each other in front of the restaurant, desperately rushing to the small main entrance of the restaurant, which is usually not visited by many people at all.

It is also mixed with ridicule and abuse that are usually not heard in aristocratic circles.

"Nobles, that's it. One of the attendants who saw the scene whispered.

Because there are many nobles of various ethnic groups, and they are divided into three levels: high, middle, and low. For high-ranking nobles, it is not a problem to participate in the cocktail party at all, they have exclusive VIP access. But for the middle-level nobles and the low-level nobles who were almost on the same level as the commoners in the eyes of the high-level and had a large number of people, if they wanted to participate in this cocktail party, they had to desperately squeeze their heads to have a place.

This reception is a high-level gathering, for many middle and low-level nobles who rely on business to maintain their family business, if they can climb to one of them, then in this aristocratic empire, it can almost develop horizontally.

Aristocrats are also human beings, and they also have to survive.

In this kind of crazy crowding where everyone has important ideas, even though the silver-haired boy is small, he can only sigh helplessly, and then let himself be squeezed around by these piles of gentlemen and celebrities.

Because in the face of a mountain of people, he really couldn't drill.

"Damn!" he cursed in a low voice, if he hadn't wasted a lot of time by being stopped halfway by the two men in black, he wouldn't have met so many people at the point he had set out before.

How precious this opportunity is, he thinks about it day and night, the idol H family's first beauty, the H family's first beauty, the empress Fu Qiang, will attend this drinking party, and he finally seized this opportunity to see the true face of the idol. Huangfu Rose usually lives in H City, which is so far away from Fe City, and as the patriarch of the H family, the Huangfu family has always been very strict with its members, not to mention Huangfu Rose, who is the daughter of the patriarch.

It is said that she rarely appears in H City.

But this has also created a high level of magic for the H family, it is said that at the age of fifteen her magic attainments can be compared to her father, and this year she is only about eighteen years old.

But the reality is that the teenager is now going to lose this rare opportunity.

Because he can't squeeze in at all.

Just when he was at a loss, a somewhat familiar banter voice sounded from behind him: "Hey, isn't this Zhao Lucheng, why are you squeezing here?"

Zhao Lucheng was stunned, then immediately turned around, stretched out his hand and dragged the speaker to his side: "How can you talk to your brother, Xiao Yulong?"

The hair color of this person is also silver, but compared to the gray color of Zhao Lucheng's hair, this person is white in silver.

Xiao Yulong smiled: "Brother, don't mind, won't I help you?"

It turned out that Xiao Yulong was also a nobleman of the Fe clan, because he and Zhao Lucheng were nobles in the same block, so the two had known each other since childhood, and they often played together on weekdays. It's just that the Xiao family is a high-level nobleman, but as a high-level nobleman, Xiao Yulong not only has no shelf, but is very approachable, which is very commendable, and because of this, Zhao Lucheng trusts him very much.

So seeing Xiao Yulong's appearance, the haze on Zhao Lucheng's original face suddenly dissipated. He didn't know why Xiao Yulong, who was a high-ranking nobleman, appeared here, but since he came, he naturally couldn't let go of this opportunity for him to help him.

So with the help of Xiao Yulong, Zhao Lucheng smoothly entered the restaurant through the back door.

Zhao Lucheng walked around in the restaurant, the restaurant was very empty, and the walls on the left and right sides of the line of sight stood the signs of the H family and the Fe family respectively.

There are also very few people, and it is not at all the feeling of crowds and crowds that you see outside.

That's right, there must be a dancing part in the cocktail party, how can people wave their bodies and dance?

Xiao Yulong said goodbye after sending him into the restaurant, and when he left, he pointed to the "H" sign on the side of the hall at the reception site and said to Zhao Lucheng, "Come on!"

Looks like this guy guessed.

Through Zhao Lucheng's observation, the usual decorations of Zhao's restaurant, such as the wooden table that has been used for more than ten years and even the scars on the tabletop are all gone, replaced by elegant white columns, the columns are carved into the shape of fountains, and three-dimensional art chandeliers with gold edging, each chandelier has a different structure, one of which even gathers the symbols of all the races in the metal empire, and even the bar counter in the middle has been dismantled, replaced by a wide and long red carpet, which is long and straight to the gate, and the waiters standing at the gate are struggling to intercept the nobles who want to rush in......

Looking at the middle and low-level nobles who were locked out of the door by the waiters little by little, Zhao Lucheng was also secretly glad that if Xiao Yulong hadn't killed him halfway, he would have ended up like those people outside.

"You're doing a good job, Mr. Xiao Yulong. In a luxuriously decorated private room somewhere in the restaurant, an old man sitting on a fuchsia high-backed chair smiled at the silver-white haired young man who walked in and said. Behind this old man hangs a big "H" character, as if it were a high-ranking member of the H family.

"It's just a gesture, Patriarch Huangfu, it's my honor to serve you, and it's so polite for you to call me sir. Xiao Yulong said with a smile.

Listening to his words, this old man is actually the patriarch of the H clan with a high status!

"No, no, we are both high-ranking nobles, and our identities are not much different," the old man shook his head, "Thank you for helping me bring this child Zhao Lucheng to the drinking party, and I will have someone send it tomorrow." ”

"Yes, Patriarch. Xiao Yulong nodded, since the old man had the meaning of sending off the guest in his words, he didn't want to stay for a long time, he bowed to the old man and was about to leave, suddenly he seemed to think of something, turned around, and said, "Why do you want to help him?"

The old man smiled.

Until he left the private room, Xiao Yulong was still puzzled by the old man's last sentence, "You will know when the time comes".

......

Zhao Lucheng has been in the restaurant for a long time, in addition to the private rooms on the second floor and the guest rooms above the second floor, he has browsed the new facilities, the new murals, and even the long corridors with new carpets on each floor.

He couldn't help but admire the generosity of these high-level people, while these people were enjoying themselves, the commoners and many middle and low-level nobles were still struggling to make a living......

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.

When he was young, he made a great wish that one day if he became the emperor of the metal empire, he would definitely change this crushing hierarchy, but unfortunately, as he grew up, reality told him little by little that there was no "if" in this huge elemental continent.

They exist only in the beautiful fantasies of the people at the bottom.

Only the rebellion of the non-metallic 22 tribes nearly a hundred years ago succeeded in subverting the rules of the Empire, but according to the official announcement, the Imperial army has won many battles against the rebels.

Although I don't know if it's true or not, for people like Zhao Lucheng who haven't even stepped out of Fe City, these battles are still a little out of reach.

"Please take your seat on the dance floor in the center of the first floor as soon as possible, and the high-ranking nobles are about to enter!" At this time, a loud baritone echoed throughout the restaurant, followed by the cheers that shattered the sky on the dance floor on the first floor!

"Snort! a group of things that tend to be inflammatory!" Zhao Lucheng pouted, although he hated the star-like worship of those low-level nobles to high-level nobles, his body still rushed towards the first floor. No matter how disdainful he is, he can't forget the purpose of his trip: to see the Huangfu Rose!

But when he ran to the staircase on the second floor, a figure suddenly appeared from the corner, and Zhao Lucheng was caught off guard and hit it head-on.

"Boom!" the man was knocked over on his back.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Zhao Lucheng saw that he had hit someone, so he quickly apologized and stepped forward to help the other party.

At this moment, he looked at the other party.

It was a young nobleman dressed in a well-dressed dark blue gown with white edges, about his age, but his eyes were full of domineering pride.

It should be a nobleman of high status.

The man didn't even look at Zhao Lucheng, and said directly to the private room behind him: "Who asked you to let the untouchables in?"

As soon as these words fell, the door of the private room was immediately opened at an astonishing speed, and five or six black-clothed waiters rushed out of it. The attendants quickly surrounded Zhao Lucheng, then set the latter up and walked towards the staircase.

One of the attendants smiled at the young male nobleman and said, "Young Master Hang, this is our poor work, we will throw him out immediately!"

Zhao Lucheng was taken aback, he looked at the aristocratic young man who was indifferent angrily, he didn't mean it at all just now, and he apologized and helped him up, sincerity was enough!

Is it all the way it should be in his eyes?

Thinking of this, Zhao Lucheng struggled frantically!

"Oh, the kid is quite energetic?" At this time, the waiter glanced at Zhao Lucheng coldly, "I know that you are not a commoner, and civilians can't enter, but you are not a high-ranking nobleman, and you actually offended a high-ranking nobleman, and his identity is very prominent among high-level nobles!"

"In their opinion, all middle and low-level nobles are the same as commoners, so consider yourself unlucky, you can't fall to death on the second floor, next time you have a snack!" said another waiter.

Zhao Lucheng looked at the smug face of "Young Master Hang" and gritted his teeth hatefully!

But no matter how much he struggled, he could only watch the second-floor platform get farther and farther away from him......

"Stop!" At this time, an angry voice sounded, and the direction from which the voice came from happened to block the way for the waiters holding Zhao Lucheng to the window on the second floor.

The waiters and Zhao Lucheng were stunned, and then Zhao Lucheng raised his head with some confusion, listening to the voice should be a girl, but he didn't seem to know this girl......

But then he felt a throbbing from his soul! His pupils shrank suddenly!

Although she was only wearing an ordinary jade-white dress at this time, the long light chestnut hair that naturally drooped down parted into two locks and naturally rested on her shoulders, the smooth forehead and a pair of bright and watery eyes, as well as the combed skirt without a trace of wrinkles and a pair of fair calves exposed under the skirt all showed that this girl was really an indescribable beauty!

Zhao Lucheng was stunned, and even forgot about the struggle.

"What kind of decency is it to bully others regardless of their image at such an important drinking party?" The waiters were also stunned, and did not come back to their senses until the girl said something more.

Their expressions were obviously a little embarrassed, and one of the attendants said, "Miss Huangfu, this person has offended Young Master Hang, and it is Young Master Hang's order......"

"Miss Huangfu......" Hearing this, Zhao Lucheng's expression immediately became exciting.

How could there be such a coincidence!
