Qiao was staring at a group of academicians without blinking, and between them, in the two small circles, a small conflict suddenly broke out.

A middle-aged man with a black and fiery red ribbon on his chest suddenly smashed his fist into the face of an old man with a pale face and an earthy yellow satin ribbon on his chest.

The old man fell to the ground, his teeth cracking his lips, and blood was pouring from the corners of his mouth.

The middle-aged man who beat the man yelled at the old man: "You shameless tomb robbers. ”

Beside the old man, several academicians who were also wearing earthy yellow ribbons rushed up and launched a fierce counterattack against the middle-aged man. At the same time, several academicians scolded in unison: "Silverfish who waste funds!" ”

'Crackling'!

Beside the middle-aged man, several strong men with red and black ribbons reacted at the same time.

They slammed their glasses on the ground, and then pounced on the academicians with earthy yellow ribbons.

A dozen academicians scuffled into a ball.

Soon, the academicians wearing the earthy yellow ribbons were pressed to the ground, and the academicians with the black and red ribbons rode on them, waving their fists, like the legendary warriors beating wild tigers, and slammed them on the head.

Joe saw it.

Many of these academicians wearing black and red ribbons have opened up a sea of power, and their strength is much greater than that of ordinary people. And they are obviously doing some heavy physical work all year round, their bodies are strong and powerful, and their physical foundation is excellent.

And these academicians wearing earthy yellow ribbons, they are just a group of ordinary people who are the most normal.

Their brain capacity may be a little larger than that of the average person, but other than that, their physique can only be considered healthy, and there is nothing extraordinary about it.

In hand-to-hand combat, these academicians wearing earthy yellow ribbons obviously suffered a big loss.

A group of court knights hurried over, and like eagles catching chickens, they lifted up the academicians who had beaten their opponents hard, and quickly separated them.

Countless guests from all sides looked at this side. But all of them, with weird and subtle smiles, just watched quietly, without any intention of interfering.

Even, Joe saw Vigrar in the crowd wearing a court dress and a Hydra insignia.

This giant, who has already served in the Imperial Supervision Department and served as the deputy of the Supervision Minister Wenzel, will take over the position of Supervision Minister in the future, and will kill the civil and military officials and nobles of the empire to seize power, but he actually turned around, as if he didn't see the movement here.

Even, Vigrar quietly walked a few steps into the distance, leading a small circle of guests around him away from the commotion here.

"Uh, these academicians ......"

Jo looked at Old Lady Mary with some bewilderment.

"Aha, the Imperial Royal Academy of Sciences is in the university town, and many of them often come to my place for drinks and meals. So, I'm familiar with them. Old Lady Mary pouted.

"Those guys wearing black and red ribbons are academicians of the Engineering Academy of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and their laboratory burns hundreds of millions of gold marks in the empire every year, so they are silverfish who waste money, hehe......"

Old Lady Mary smiled noncommittally, and secretly pointed to the academicians wearing earthy yellow ribbons: "Well, they are from the History Academy of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and they should be great experts in archaeology." ”

"Archaeology, some people say they're legitimate tomb robbers, that's a bad thing, but there's nothing wrong with that." Old Lady Mary shrugged her shoulders: "They, who are so bold that as long as they know where there are ancient tombs and ruins, they will pounce on them like vicious dogs." ”

"In the era of Tieduo and Duolun, the empire had eleven foreign wars that were triggered by these archaeological lunatics."

"They left the borders of the empire, smuggled into the territory of neighboring countries, and stole certain ...... of neighboring countries Documenting the Lost Tombs...... Unfortunately, the tombs that have been completely lost in history are the ancestors of the neighboring royal family......"

Old Lady Mary pursed her lips and lowered her voice: "Joe, if you are the king of a certain country, suddenly there is a point, the police below report that a certain one of you counts up, an ancestor ten generations ago...... The coffins were dug up and used as chopping wood for warmth, all the funerary goods were packed and taken away, and the bodies of the ancestors were made into specimens and sealed with resin into artificial amber ......"

"It's going to have to be desperate!" Joe's eyes widened in shock.

"So, in the eleven foreign wars, the king personally led the army, and without any process of declaring war, he directly killed them." Old Lady Mary sighed: "Fortunately, in the early days of the Tieduo Age and the Duolun Era, the empire was extremely powerful, and won all eleven foreign wars, destroying seven large and small kingdoms and annexing their territories by the way. ”

Old Lady Mary said softly: "Because they took the initiative to start the war, the empire annexed them, and the other countries of the Metland continent did not take any other action except for verbal protests. ”

Hesse's face twitched.

Tifa looked at Old Lady Mary with a mysterious look.

Joe was silent.

And Weima was very naïve, and asked Mrs. Mary very straightforwardly: "How do I feel, this is the Empire's intention to ......"

Tifa covered Weima's mouth with one hand, and Weima struggled like a loach thrown ashore, making a 'whining' sound, but couldn't say a word.

Old Lady Mary shrugged her shoulders and pouted, "What, maybe there's a conspiracy, right?" But these guys! ”

Old Lady Mary snorted at the group of academicians who were fighting with each other just now.

The two groups of academicians slapped the robes on their bodies, wiped the corners of their blood-stained mouths, and cursed each other, and then formed a small circle again, with a serious and sanctimonious ...... As if nothing had happened, they continued to talk and laugh.

Old Lady Mary smiled and whispered, "See, if it's the Teutons, after such a thing, they will definitely draw their swords and duel...... There is only this group of ...... 'cultural people'...... They can spit on their own faces, and they can endure humiliation. ”

Qiao smiled dryly, looking up and down at these academicians who behaved quite 'wonderfully'.

He noticed that the number of ribbons worn by these academicians varied in addition to their color.

Old Lady Mary noticed Joe's gaze, and she chuckled in a low voice, "A ribbon, junior academician, enjoying the treatment of a viscount; two ribbons, intermediate academicians, enjoy earl treatment; three ribbons, senior academician, enjoy the treatment of a marquis; Three ribbons, plus a wreath of thorns, a special academician, enjoy the treatment of a duke. ”

"If there is a hydra badge watermark behind the thorn wreath of the ribbon, it means that he is the president of a certain branch, that is, the vice president of the Academy of Sciences, a big man at the level of the president, and the preferential treatment they enjoy in the empire is equivalent to that of the royal prince."

Joe said with heartfelt emotion: "It's amazing. This ......"

Joe saw an old man with a goatee, tall and thin, with an extremely proud expression, surrounded by more than a dozen academicians, and quite a starry and moon-like attitude.

The old man had three cyan ribbons hanging on his chest, and there was a thorn wreath pattern on the edge of the ribbon, and behind the thorn wreath, a hydra watermark loomed.

"Ah, this old gentleman, he often goes to the old grandmother's tavern, and he is especially fond of my cumin bread." Old Lady Mary smiled: "So, I know who he is...... He is President of the Faculty of Biology of the Royal Academy of Sciences, Vice-President of the Faculty of Medicine, and the fifth-ranked Vice-President of the Royal Academy of Sciences. ”

"The reason why he was able to become such a big man was that thirty years ago, he successfully extracted a drop of life essence from a three-thousand-year-old corpse in the swamp, which made a big breakthrough in Imperial Pharmacy."

"He also successfully verified the possibility of reproduction between the black continent mountain chimpanzee and the swamp silverback gorilla, and proposed a novel argument for the life strength of different maternal samples on the offspring, which was unanimously recognized by the Medland biological community."

Old Lady Mary shrugged her shoulders again and sighed: "He also proposed the venom of the chicken heart snail, which stimulates and strengthens the bloodline of the abyssal creatures...... The venom of the monk's hat jellyfish is an enhancement of male function...... The relationship between the powder made from mummy grinding and the maintenance of women's skin ......"

"In short, he has dozens of similar novelty papers."

"He has many protégés, many of whom are foreign students...... In Medland's biological community, he is the leader of a large mountain. ”

"Oh, by the way, he's rich."

"In order to help him study the problem of mountain chimpanzees and swamp silverback gorillas having children, the empire invested tens of millions of gold marks to enclose a protected area within a radius of hundreds of miles in the primeval jungle of the colonies of the Black Continent."

"That orangutan sanctuary costs millions of gold marks a year to maintain."

"I've always wondered how a bunch of gorillas, how they kill millions every year!"

"So, Joe, you get it, right?"

Old Lady Mary glanced at Joe and lowered her voice: "Big Ivan next to you is not a good thing...... If he is ferocious one day and wants to make a vote in the imperial capital, he will kidnap these academicians...... Each of them is fat and oily! ”

"Including these guys who dig people's ancestral graves."

"As far as I know, there are at least tens of thousands of works of art that flow out of their hands every year. Do you think those big antique dealers in the imperial capital, where did they get so many good goods? ”

Joe touched his nose vigorously and looked at Old Lady Mary with a faint gaze: "You are instigating me......"

"Is there one? I'm just giving you some, consulting information. Old Lady Mary tightened the raven blue shawl that was tightly draped over her shoulders, and looked at Joe with a smile: "I have been law-abiding all my life, and I have never done anything against the law. ”

Merlin stood aside and smiled reservedly.

It's just that his smile has a hint of inexplicable weirdness and helplessness.
