Today's Hydra Palace is very lively.

In the huge Hydra Palace, between the palaces, dense thorn flowers bloom.

Among the iron-gray thorn flower branches, countless thumb-sized, blood-red thorn flowers bloom in the sun. In this cold winter season, the gorgeous thorn flowers all over the ground inexplicably give people a strong sense of strength.

An invisible barrier enveloped the entire Hydra Palace.

The sun shone in, but the cold wind could not penetrate the slightest.

In the area of Hydra Palace, it is as warm as spring, and the guests who come and go have bright smiles on their faces.

The guests were dressed in a variety of colours, and their origins could be clearly identified by their clothes.

The dress on the body, the style is conservative and traditional, the color is monotonous, mostly black and gray, at most mixed with a little blood-colored ribbon decoration, it must be the native nobles of the Delun Empire.

These native nobles of the Deren Empire are around, and the long skirts of their female companions are also conservative in style.

With a high collar, long hair hanging down, except for a clear face that is not very greased and powdered, and a pair of palms, these nobles of the Delun Empire have no skin and flesh exposed.

Even the long dresses on their bodies are mostly black, white, and gray, and even the jewelry on their bodies is mostly low-key sapphires and white pearls.

And those who were dressed in colorful colors and had a flexible style were definitely foreign envoys and officials who were invited to the celebration.

Unlike the conservative and rigid nobles of the Delen Empire, these people are ......

Among them, many male aristocrats wore rouge lipstick, and rubbed a little white putty powder on their faces, making their faces look extraordinarily white.

And the ladies who followed them ...... Tsk, all of them are wearing low-cut chickenheart neck long skirts, with large white flowers of flesh exposed on their chests, and even more, such as the group of ladies in the Gallic Republic, the back of their long skirts is almost vacuum, from the back of the neck to the waistline of the back, the entire back is almost exposed.

The Gauls of Metland were known for their wildness and romance...... Especially in today's Gallic Republic, some people have shouted the slogan of 'liberating nature' and 'liberating humanity', and their clothing is particularly bold.

"Frivolous! Profligacy! Joe, take care of your eyes, these women are not serious women. Old Lady Mary walked beside Joe and reprimanded Joe in a very stern tone.

Jo withdrew his gaze from the back of a Gallic girl in a colorful dress, and said with heartfelt emotion: "Aren't they cold?" ”

Old Lady Mary snorted very dissatisfiedly: "Medland's atmosphere is ruined by this group of women. ”

Blinking her eyes, Old Lady Mary sternly admonished Joe: "Joe, remember, don't associate with Gallic women...... This group of prodigal women, whose husbands are fighting bloody battles on the front lines, are able to hook up with a dozen lovers - go to bed. ”

With a cold snort, Old Lady Mary turned to Tifa and Weima again.

"Two little girls, you also have to remember...... Look over there, those blonde kids in leggings, high heels, powdered, lipstick, see? They are definitely the nobles of the Ice Sea Kingdom. ”

"If you are looking for a husband in the future, you must not look for a prodigal son in the Ice Sea Kingdom."

"Gallic men, at most, are out looking for mistresses...... But these prodigals of the Ice Sea Kingdom, in addition to looking for women, they are more likely to find men...... Even, they ......" Old Lady Mary pursed her lips, she looked at the thin and shriveled like bean sprouts, and couldn't help but shake her head: "Okay, Weima, there are some things that you shouldn't listen to now." ”

"However, you should remember one thing, good girls must stay away from the Ice Sea People!"

Tifa and Weima nodded their heads as if they didn't understand.

Mrs. Mary's words were very polite, but they could feel the care and love of the old grandmother for them.

Besides, Tifa and Weima are the daughters of the Wittu family, and they are surrounded by all kinds of rough men who draw their swords in a fit of rage...... Under the influence of ears and eyes, their aesthetics have basically been formed, and they can't look down on these somewhat girly ice sea mother-cannons!

Tifa has a clear water face.

She looked at the handsome blonde guys who wore grease and powder, wore leggings and high heels, and even had earrings on their ears, and she only felt a greasy feeling in her heart.

Very well, a folk law promulgated by the Delen Empire in the early years has the crime of 'fancy dress'.

Tifa really wanted to send these guys to the black prison and lock them up with the roughest and most brutal prisoners for half a month, to see if these guys still had such a 'show' interest.

In the huge Hydra Palace, the guests are divided into small and distinct groups according to their status, occupation, and various invisible unspoken rules.

The top nobles, they laughed and gathered together, talking about the current situation in Medland.

In the mouths of these top tycoons, you can often hear about the rebellion of a colony native, the counterinsurgency of tens of thousands of colonial troops, the sinking of several battleships, and so on.

Those middle and upper class aristocrats with slightly lower status, they also formed a small circle.

They leisurely discuss their children's marriages, the output of their property last year, and their recent successes or failures in an investment.

In the mouths of these middle- and upper-class aristocrats, the investment of millions, tens of millions of gold marks, is just an ordinary thing.

They will also use some kind of hidden jargon to communicate some of the deeper issues.

For example, if my family is in the eastern province, can I arrange a middle-level administrator position for a certain child of my family in the western province of my neighborhood? In return, if you have a request, just say so.

For example, if one of my family's properties encounters a little trouble on your turf, can my brother give me a word for it, and I will definitely repay it in the future......

For example, your kid is an adult, and my girl is just sixteen years old. Hmm, why don't you hold a dance party in two days and let the young people of the two families get to know each other?

In addition to the local nobles and nobles in Hydrerabad, the New Year's celebration of Hydreracott Palace, and all the nobles and nobles who took the train and traveled within seven days also received invitations from Hydrera.

The governors of the provinces, the commanders of the garrisons of the provinces, dukes, marquises, counts and other great nobles gathered.

And more viscounts, barons, lords, knights and other middle and lower class nobles also rushed to the Hydra Palace. They gathered together according to the region, carefully standing at the edge of the field, and secretly looked at the bigwigs in the middle of the spot.

They are surrounded by hordes of young men and women, who tell them about the powerful and ancient family from which a certain big man originates, what his current status is, and where he has what influence.

They stood cautiously aside, intently observing the every move of the big men in the middle.

Whenever the eyes of the big man swept over them, they hurriedly raised the wine glasses in their hands and showed a bright smile - many of them had been standing here for more than an hour, and the glass of wine was almost intact, and they had not drunk a single bit.

"Look at these guys...... They don't have the backbone of their ancestors. Old Lady Mary chattered again: "Ah, look at the ribbons and badges on them, they are all Teutons. Teuton, a feat slashed with a knife and sword, a fiefdom slain...... But look at these guys, in addition to flattery, do they have the heroic spirit of their ancestors now? ”

"However, compared to other countries, these low-level nobles of the Delun Empire are not bad."

Old Lady Mary sighed: "The low-level nobles of other countries have rotten roots, this group of fools in the Delun Empire, something really happened, among them, there are still people who can wear the armor of their ancestors and dare to go to the battlefield." ”

Jo looked at Old Lady Mary in surprise: "You know a lot. ”

"Ah, not unusual at all. Half of the college students who fight every night in the food street are bastards from these little aristocratic families. They drank too much and dared to say anything, and they could say anything. Old Lady Mary shrugged her shoulders: "Food Street is one of the most well-informed locations in the entire imperial capital. ”

Joe nodded thoughtfully.

The group, led by Merlin himself, walked through the huge square towards a palace.

Halfway through, Joe saw a group of men who were out of step with other nobles, leaving a large circle of open space around them.

They were dressed in neat black robes, with a ribbon on their chests, and bizarre tricorne hats, and almost all of them wore a monocle on their faces. Everyone is so arrogant, so lonely and self-appreciative.

They gathered together, the expressions on their faces were lukewarm, the speed of speech was neither fast nor slow, and their movements were graceful and generous, and they even raised their glasses and drank wine...... All maintain an almost constant frequency.

In a word...... These people give outsiders the impression that every pore of their body seems to be roaring out loud - 'You are stupid, come and worship the old man'!

"Wow, they are?" Joe was inexplicably suppressed by the aura of these guys, and asked Old Lady Mary carefully.

Old Lady Mary rolled her eyes: "In the future in the imperial capital, if you see people in this costume, stay away and don't provoke them...... Tsk, a bunch of guys who give people a headache. ”

Chief Merlin interjected with a smile on the side: "Joe, they are academicians of the Imperial Royal Academy of Sciences. ”

"You can tell the different branches they belong to by looking at the color of their ribbons...... You pay attention to their positions, they are grouped together according to the different branches. ”

Joe took a closer look, and sure enough.

These members of the Royal Academy of Sciences, the ribbons they wear on their chests are divided into several colors, and they are indeed divided into several different small circles according to the different colors of the ribbons.

"Are they amazing?" Joe carefully lowered his voice.

From the tone of Old Lady Mary and Chief Merlin, Jo could see that there seemed to be a great difference between these swaggering fellows.

Old Lady Mary pursed her lips and 'tsk' twice, but did not speak.
