Section 627 Returning Home (31)
"Fez, I know what's going on here?" Seeing that this huge auditorium was already full of people from all walks of life attending the party, and most of them were quite famous but extremely rare to see big people, but at this time, they gathered together, talking to each other, and the atmosphere was harmonious, Rafe seemed to have heard the mentor say that there was an important party today, so Lafite had time to come out, but he didn't expect that he would stand in this huge auditorium in the end.
"What?" Fez, looking at Rafi's stage fright, gently grabbed Rafi's palm, and walked to a table next to him despite the disgust of others, but the crowd that had just gathered at the table all left because of the two young men in shabby clothes, so as not to pollute their eyes.
"This is the annual coming-of-age ceremony and graduation ceremony of the Imperial Academy, but only the big nobles and special students have the opportunity to participate, and the people who come to congratulate are all big figures in the military and politics, and these students will enter the major organizations of the empire after graduation, in fact!" Rafi's tone was a little sour, after all, although he was not a nobleman, he was also a special student, and he was an important member of the school to study magic theory, but he was not even qualified to participate in this kind of gathering.
"Actually, what is it?" Fez is not interested in such a party at all, if it wasn't for the coincidence of coming in, Fez would not have participated in such a party, but if he came in, Fez would not have left the venue because of other people's eyes, anyway, nothing here tastes good.
"In fact, it's just the organization and distribution of the major families, in fact, the upper echelons of the empire are now mainly divided into two major factions, the enjoyment faction and the reform faction, as for the other neutral factions, the number and strength are very weak, so I won't talk about it, and the contradiction between these two factions has not intensified, so the new nobles will choose factions here when they choose factions, so as to stand in line!" Rafi has also studied the power structure of the empire, but due to the relationship between personal vision and position, Rafite will not discuss and will not stand in line, nor is he qualified to stand in line, and it is not only a personal problem to stand in line here, but also to represent the family behind it, and no one will be rare if there is no family or the power of the family is less powerful.
......
"Are they untouchables who have come in, they don't even wear a dress, they have come in through the sewers, how can I smell a stench!"
"I think they're so poor that they can't even afford a dress, and a magic robe that they've worn for I don't know how many years is gray!"
"Let's stay away! I'm afraid I'll be polluted by these untouchables!"
The conversation between the two did not stop the discussion of the surrounding crowd, so the two people standing alone eating and drinking in the middle of the auditorium seemed abrupt after the crowd retreated.
"Fez, let's go!" Rafi was not used to the strange eyes of everyone, especially since there were many acquaintances here, but at the moment they all avoided his gaze, as if he was afraid that others would know and know him.
"It's okay! Fez's grin, as if he hadn't seen the contemptuous gazes of those around him.
"It tastes good, would you like one!" Fez, picking up a piece of dessert and handing it to Rafite's lips.
"Thanks, no need!" Raffi still couldn't stand the eyes of everyone, but he didn't want to leave Fez alone, and he didn't even know what to do now.
"Alright, let's go over there!" Fez, too, knew what Raffi was thinking, so he pulled Raffi up and walked towards a smaller corner of the auditorium.
"What a pair of untouchables, they actually came here to eat and drink, security guards, security guards, I want to report, are they untouchables mixed in!"
"Ignore them, a wild dog barks!" Fez's could feel the vibration in Rafi's heart, and although he didn't want to compete with these dog-eyed nobles, Fez's couldn't help but salute in return.
"What are you talking about" The aristocratic boy had just opened his mouth when he was shot into his mouth by half a cake that shot out of Fez's hand.
"Is it that you have eaten too much, why does it bark so badly?" Fez, who was already competing, would not give the other party a chance to speak again.
"Security, security, how can you let such a low-level untouchable come in, quickly drive these untouchables away!" The nobles have the dignity of the aristocracy, although they are in different camps, but they still have the same hatred for the commoners and insulting the nobles.
"Quiet, quiet, what's going on?" The three uniformed security guards walked over quickly, and the noisy environment immediately quieted down, in fact, it was also because all the security work in the auditorium was handed over to the imperial army for arrangement, and the masters selected by these armies were not like the thugs trained by their own families to give themselves face, and it was also for this reason that the nobles belonging to different camps could get together.
"I suspect these two pariahs"
"Sir, can you please use civilized language, the people who come in are all guests, if you can't be civilized, I hope you can go out with us and explain the situation here in a quiet environment!" In fact, the security guards already knew the situation here, but the people who could come in were not soldiers like themselves who could manage at will, and the security guards had just found out the identities of the two Fez, there was no problem, although I don't know why they could come in, but from the video footage and the soldiers outside, the two were invited to come, so before they could be identified, the soldiers must ensure both ends of the scale, otherwise their work will come to an end.
"Hmph! I doubt the two of them got in, so I can ask them out. The aristocratic boy was taught a lesson, and he couldn't tolerate the existence of the two, and shouted loudly.
"I'm sorry, they're also our guests, and I don't have the right to ask them to leave!" The security guard didn't know what to do, on one side were angry nobles, and on the other side were two commoners, but the job of the security guard was to ensure the safety of every guest, and two people and two hundred people were guests.
"Okay, then please remove all the food here, the contaminated things, we are afraid of being infected with parasites!" A middle-aged nobleman also knew that he couldn't get rid of the two civilians at the moment, so he had to retreat to the next best thing, mocking the two Fes in disguise.
"Hehe! I'm here, the air here is polluted, I live in this world, do you want to replace the whole sky too!" Fezes couldn't get used to the self-righteousness of these nobles, who thought they were superior, maybe decades ago, they also rose up from the commoners.
"Hmph!" the nobles have nothing to say, if they want to replace the food now, then if they continue to breathe air, they will be slapping their faces, but the nobles who have experienced this incident, the location of this table and Fez, it is impossible for these nobles to get close to the past.
"It's all right, Rafite, the nobles are so hypocritical!" Fezes pulled Raffi to a corner where the lights were dimly lit, and few people would pay attention to this corner again.
"Oh, that's not necessarily, I'm not pretentious!" Fez just knocked over a boatload of people with a stick, and a declining nobleman dressed in a black shadow stood up in the corner, looking at the pale face and sunken eyes, it should be the physique of a nobleman who is addicted to wine, but this nobleman probably doesn't have much money, so he doesn't have much money to supplement the lack of energy in his body, but Fez saw that the other party should be overworked, and it belongs to the kind of mental work.
"Oh, there are some, but do you belong to?" Fez doesn't like the other party very much, although the other party doesn't seem to be the kind of young master who spends all his time drinking, but this type of calculating, Fez also stays away.
"I'm Marco Floda, a fallen nobleman. Marco held out his pale palm in a gesture of friendship.
"Raffi Cross!" Although Raffi also belongs to a declining aristocracy, the situation is much worse than Marco's, thousands of years of neglect have made the surname Cross completely disappear from people's memory, and Froda has only been in decline for more than a hundred years.
"Brother, what about you?" Marco wanted to know Fez, but in order to avoid embarrassment, Marco finally had to hold Rafi's palm, but only lightly touched it.
"Fez!!" Fez just snorted perfunctorily, continuing to consume the food in front of him.
"Actually, the current aristocracy has completely deteriorated, if I can, I also want to go back to the past era, the aristocracy is just elected by everyone, recognized as a good servant of the people, but now it has completely become a bunch of vampires!" In order to attract Fez's attention, Marco shifted the topic to the nobility, after all, the trouble that Fez just encountered was also caused by the nobility.
"In that case, you'll become a commoner too!" said Fez, who said angrily, after all, the declining aristocracy is also a nobleman.
"Well, I also think that the nobles should be elected by the commoners, not inherited and given as they are now! It has completely become a tool for the big nobles to expand their strength!" Raffei also joined the topic, Fez opened the door for Rafite, and because there were people holding it in the academy before, but when she entered this auditorium, no one knew her anymore, and she didn't want to know this commoner friend, which gave Raffei a lot of stimulation, so the understanding of the nobles began to be objective.
"As long as there is a hierarchy, there will be oppression, and it will be the same everywhere you go, but how can you get out of this spell? I've been studying this for a long time. "Marco's ideals are also grandiose, but they are only a bit behind closed doors and on paper.
......
Tonight's graduation ceremony and coming-of-age ceremony are about to begin, and the witnesses of this ceremony, Hamilton Philips, the royal representative, and Flo Hurov, the noble representative, are invited to address the assembly!" The host invited the important figures of the ceremony, that is, the representatives of the two major groups, the royal Hamilton, who represented the balance of interests and the long-term development, and Flo Shurov, who represented the interests of the great nobles, the large group, advocated the complete separation of the nobles and the commoners, and the commoners were completely for the interests of the nobles, and everything became the vassals of the nobles.
However, when everyone looked at these two people, Fez involuntarily fell into consternation, that is, six years ago, he had just come out of kindergarten, and he was followed by his mentor Hamilton, Fez had almost forgotten the ten children who followed the tutor at that time, but Hamilton, the one-eyed mentor Fez, still remembered it.
......
"Fez, Fez, Hamilton is calling you?" Raffi didn't think that Fez's would have anything to do with Hamilton, Hamilton actually called out Fez's name and threatened to do a coming-of-age ceremony for Fez.
Generally speaking, it is impossible for Hamilton and Flo to perform a coming-of-age ceremony for the students on the scene as a witness, if so, it means that Hamilton or Flo will become the father and guardian of the witnesses, and the incidental responsibilities and consequences are difficult to calculate, but Hamilton actually named a civilian to witness the coming-of-age ceremony this time.
"I'm sorry, mentor, I'm still underage!" Fez, who didn't like to gather all his eyes like this, slowly walked to Hamilton's side, but was blocked by the two guards next to him, so he could only whisper two meters away, Fez didn't want to get involved in the power struggle between the two sides, no matter what the starting point of the interests of both sides was, but the center of the interests of both sides was noble, which was contrary to Fez's base point, so Fez could only choose to refuse.
"It's okay!" Hamilton pushed away the two guards in front of him and walked in front of Fez.
"This is the etiquette of the aristocracy, how can there be a commoner here, we have to drive out this commoner who has mixed in!" Although Fez's refusal was very quiet, it was still heard by the nobles, and under the riot of the well-intentioned people, the whole venue instantly fell into madness.
"Fez, there are many people, come to me at night!" Hamilton did not panic, walked past Fez's side, stuffed a note to Fez, and disappeared directly into the crowd under the protection of the guards.
"Keep an eye on that commoner, give me a chance to kill him!" Flo, as the leader of the faction, will not be frightened by such a situation, and decisively issued a hunt and kill order for Fez, although Fez is nowhere to be found at this time, but the hunt and kill order of the head of the noble family is valid for a lifetime.
"Rafite, let's go! it's not safe here. "Fes pulled Rafi and kept moving forward in the chaotic aristocracy, the aristocratic chaos that originally aimed at Fez, at this time has long forgotten the original purpose, everything is just chaos for chaos.
......
"Young master, his information has been found, but there is still a lot of information that we need time to process and verify!" Marco looked at the half-book information, and was really surprised by the seemingly ordinary young man in front of him, he didn't expect that his whimsical interest had such a deep background.
"Keep an eye on everything about him!" (To be continued.) )
