In the square of the Hydra Palace, several members of the Vetu family have become hot stars.

Joe, of course, did the same.

However, the nobles naturally had their default set of rules.

Around Joe was a group of young aristocrats with a similar identity to him. In other words, they are not the number one heirs in the family, and they can share a little of the glory of the family, but they can only be attached to the glory of the family for the rest of their lives.

In other words, these young aristocrats either leave their families and start their own businesses - of course, those who choose this are generally stupid people with bad brains.

Their most serious way out is to rely on the strength of their family to manage a position that suits their identity and their personal strength in the huge imperial system of the Delen Empire.

Then, they themselves, along with their official positions, became part of the power of the family.

They will squat firmly in that position, serve the empire, serve the family, and work hard all their lives, so as to obtain stable prosperity, wealth, and food!

Most of them are the third or fourth sons of a certain marquis, or the nephews, nephews, fifth and sixth sons of a certain duke, and so on.

They can enjoy the benefits of the family's power, but the high throne of the head of the family is destined to have nothing to do with them.

In the noble inheritance system of Metland, Joe and these young nobles face a similar situation - as the second son of the family, he can share a part of the family's power and wealth, but he is not destined to control the family's power and wealth.

Of course, Joe is a lot stronger than these young aristocrats.

The families behind these young nobles have many clansmen and complex factions, and even if they only want to share a little bit of the glory of the family, they have to go through hard struggle and competition.

And what about Joe......

As the newly rising Rittal family, the huge family, including Hesse, has only three males.

As the second son of the head of the family, Joe was one of only three males, and his position was much stronger than that of the young nobles around him. Even if he can't replace Gorkin and become the successor to the position of head of the family, he can share a lot of family resources, become one of the pillars of the family, and establish a strong branch faction.

So, look at those medals and badges that hang from Joe's chest.

A group of young aristocrats were so envious that their eyes were red...... The family they came from, although they were all much stronger than the Ritu family in terms of title, power, power and wealth, they still had red eyes with envy, and they faintly formed a small circle with Qiao as the center.

Foreseeably, with the rise of the Rittal family, Joe can occupy a huge part of the powerful territory of the Rittal family.

It is likely that Joe has grown up to be a powerful general in the Imperial Army, and has an actual fief in his name.

As for the young people around Joe, their future is also predictable...... No matter how brilliant they are, they will make way for the heirs of the higher ranks.

They, in the huge imperial system, can grow into a middle-level official with real power, which is basically the ceiling of their life.

In the huge Delen Empire, there are only a few real top positions and high-level seats, and it is impossible for one family to occupy multiple good positions. If one clan member reaches the top, then the other clansmen must take the initiative to stop and climb on the mountainside, otherwise it will attract a storm of joint sniping from other clans.

The closest to Joe at the moment, with whom Joe was talking, was Vigrar's youngest son, the nineteen-year-old Donn von Hintenburg.

The Hintonburg family has Imperial royal blood, and Don also has the iron gray short hair, iron gray eyes, and a three-dimensional face like a sculpture.

In terms of appearance, the bloodline of the imperial family shows an extraordinary overwhelming strength.

Tall, broad-shouldered, stubbed, and with two long legs, Donn was the perfect don who also wore an Imperial Army uniform. But compared to the dress on Joe's body, his dress was lighter in color, slightly shabby in shape, and there was no imposing coat outside.

On his epaulettes, there are only two pitiful bronze folding bars, representing his status as a sergeant in the Imperial Army.

Don and Joe are classmates, sophomores at Imperial Military University, and they are Joe's seniors.

As students at the Imperial Military University, they automatically receive the rank of corporal of the Imperial Army when they enter the school, and in their sophomore year, they are promoted to sergeant, and in their junior year, they are promoted to sergeant.

At the end of their senior year, ordinary graduates can earn the rank of warrant officer, and only the best graduates can directly obtain the rank of second lieutenant.

Don is a sophomore, and he automatically has the rank of sergeant.

Don, who was holding a wine glass, was looking enviously at the little silver star on Joeau's epaulettes: "Ah, Joe, I really envy you." In my father's letters back to the imperial capital every month, he would mention Gorkin and ask me and my brothers to learn from him. ”

"But I didn't expect that you are also a freak." Tang En sighed with a little envy: "Eighteen-year-old major, oh...... I'm drooling. ”

Tang En lowered his voice: "Perhaps, you will be hung up with the rank of major general earlier than Gorkin?" ”

Joe grinned, raised his glass and touched it lightly with Donne, "Who knows?" Perhaps, when did I get lucky, when did I make a few great achievements, and directly replaced the silver star with the gold star? Oh, Uncle Vigral has always had a good relationship with our family...... If you have time, go to the Palace of Apophis and look for me. ”

The group of young nobles surrounding Qiao shouted, "Oh, what about us? ”

Joe laughed loudly: "It's all right, it's all right, everyone is welcome to find me at the Apophis Palace...... Haha, that's my palace. ”

The red in the eyes of a group of young nobles deepened again.

They are still under the management of the family, and they can only receive a fixed amount of living expenses and pocket money from the family every month. As aristocrats, the money they get from their families every month can allow them to enjoy a good life, but they must not be extravagant and extravagant.

And Joe ...... Eighteen years old, Joe, who was several years younger than them, actually bought the Apophis Palace!

That's the Apophis Palace!

The area is much smaller than Hydrera's Palace, but the Apophis Palace is more luxurious!

"This is fate! Oh, Joe, are you interested in getting engaged next spring? A red-haired young man sighed heartily: "My sister ......"

"Shut up!" Donn exclaimed, "We all have several beautiful sisters. Don't let anyone try to sneak away! ”

A group of young aristocrats laughed happily.

Yes, everyone has a sister, so let's talk about being engaged to Joe...... This kind of thing, you have to compete fairly, to see whose sister is better, isn't it?

Don poured cold water on these excited fellows: "Moreover, don't think about going to the Apophis Palace to eat and drink, respected gentlemen...... Joe and I, both students at the Military University, are nearly two months later, we have to go back to report, the military university is fully closed and managed, you go to the Apophis Palace, it is impossible to find Joe. ”

A group of young men were stunned, they all looked at Joe's uniform at the same time, glanced at the silver star on his epaulettes, and then let out a helpless wail at the same time.

Only then did they realize that the major standing next to them was still a student of the Military University!

"Not necessarily." Joe shrugged his shoulders, and he chuckled, "There's a good chance I'll come out a few times often." If I come out, I'll give you a letter. Uh, how can I send you an invitation? ”

The red-haired young man, who had just wanted to take the opportunity to promote his sister, quickly took out a business card and stuffed it into Joe's pocket.

A group of young people did the same, and they took out their business cards and stuffed them to Joe.

It had their names on it, their addresses on them—and, of course, as young people who also had to receive living expenses and pocket money from their families, they now live in their respective family homes.

The red-haired young man said happily, "Okay, give our name and address to your old butler, and you can contact us later...... As for you, Joe, we all know your name and we all know that you live in Apophis Palace, so, don't worry, we can't find you! ”

The mischievous words of the red-haired youth caused laughter from a crowd.

Everyone was drinking wine, chatting, similar in age, similar in interests, talking and laughing, and the group was indescribably happy.

At Donn's suggestion, a group of people had agreed that in a few days, they would go hunting in the black pine forest outside Hyderabad.

This kind of ghost weather, taking advantage of the cold season, digging tree holes and hunting black bears is the most interesting little fun.

"My father had a small hunting village outside the city." Don smiled: "After he went to Tulun Port, the hunting village has not been used for many years, but it is very well maintained. We could stay there for a few days, hunting, fishing, barbecue, oh, much more fun than this lifeless Hyderabad. ”

"Ah, I agree with Donne's suggestion...... I have, can't wait. Jo raised his glass, "I must say that I've had enough of the winter in Hydrderabad. If you have time, we can go to the port of Tulum...... It's warm all year round. ”

A group of young aristocrats showed a look of longing at the same time.

The distant port of Tulum is a romantic place with four seasons like spring.

Well, nine out of nine of them have never left the area of fifty miles around Hyderabadany in their lives.

In the square, there was a small commotion suddenly.

Conrad, dressed in the dress of an admiral, like Salian, without a rank on his epaulettes, entered the square in a majestic manner, surrounded by a large group of admirals and Junker nobles.

"It's always long overdue." Don sneered beside Joe, "If the efficiency of the Imperial Navy is the same as that of our Royal Highness...... Well, I don't have much confidence in the future of the Imperial Navy. ”

"His son is really not good." Jo looked at Conrad and remembered Freret, who was far away in the port of Tulum and had done something unseemly to the Vetuls.

"Frerett? Oh, that's a jerk...... A bastard who bullies the small. ”

Don gritted his teeth and said softly, "Magnum too...... Ha, if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't beat them......"

Joe narrowed his eyes: "So, when will we fight with them one day?" Fredet was far away in the port of Tulum, but Magnum ......"

Joe remembered the feud with Magnum again.

Although Justice Weilun was trapped, Magnum was still out and about.
