Chapter 684 Candidates for the Royal Court
There is such an era, starting from 1837 to the end of the First World War that some idiot experienced in the scene. It was preceded by the Georgian Era and followed by the Edwardian Era. During this period, Britain reached its peak in the world, and its territory It has reached an astonishing 3. The national economy accounts for 70% of the world's total, and its trade exports are several times more than the rest of the world combined.
Just like the prosperous Kaiyuan era of China, Britain was the most powerful period in the world at that time. It was the Victoria period.
In the era of Queen Victoria's reign, inventions surged like waves, science progressed under faith, the Industrial Revolution brought optimism and confidence, the emergence of automobiles and neat ships made transportation and trade more prosperous than ever before, and railway transportation extended in all directions. Running through east, west, north and south,
Many characters also appeared in this era, the most famous ones are Charlotte Bronte, the author of "Jane Eyre", or the murderer Jack the Ripper.
But this time we are not talking about the prosperity of that era, but just a brief mention of this castle somewhere in England, which comes from the architectural style of that era.
Interpreting the meaning of classical style and abandoning the aesthetics of mechanical rationality, the Victorian style likes to reinterpret and create new buildings with decorative elements of all styles, Renaissance, Romanesque, Tudor, Elizabethan or Italian style. , improving the original construction methods and materials, such pictures can be seen everywhere in this castle.
Colorful oil paintings, bold wall paintings, and strong contrasting colors are decorated. Neutral colors such as black, white, and gray are combined with brown and gold to highlight the luxury and grandeur. This hall is prepared for the most important guests of the castle today. , because its owner originated from the family of that period and was magnificent,
But these were somewhat eclipsed the moment the young woman with long splendid golden hair carrying an old-fashioned suitcase walked in.
"She is Ophia Le Guin, a student of the 70th Knight of the Nightless Palace, the youngest member of the Vatican Arbitration Knights?"
Just looking at her too young and slender figure, standing in front of the big window and looking at the meadow outside the castle where big hay rolls are being rolled, her burly figure of nearly two meters can be remembered at a glance, even though her muscles are Even under the clothes, he looked extremely distinct. With his thick arms folded across his chest, Leonidas turned around and wore tough sunglasses that muscular people seemed to like. He asked in a low and hoarse voice with some distrust.
In his opinion, this is just a little girl who has not grown up yet.
Sitting on the sofa seat next to him, there is long hair in front of his forehead that almost covers his eyes. His lowered eyes and expressionless face make him look a little taciturn, even under the light blue wall. It’s hard for people to remember his appearance when he appears on the Internet, but there is no doubt about his identity, Neal, a C-level member of the Royal Court.
"Leo, don't underestimate anyone until you see the facts clearly."
Sitting on the other side, next to the main seats, his luxurious habits are clearly reflected in his expensive clothes. However, his handsome and upright sitting posture does not have a dandy and arrogant attitude, but has a consistent demeanor.
"I'm sorry, Captain Simon. I'm not looking down upon her. It's just that fighting with such a young girl, I can't imagine being able to defeat Huaxia Yeju in a C-level battle.
As a member of the same team who often went on various missions, Leonidas still used his somewhat deep and hoarse voice to explain the extravagant figure's words.
"After all, in the last national war, Su Qun, a participant with ancient martial arts ability from China, left a deep impression on me with his tenacity and strength. He and his companions who didn't put in much effort defeated me head-on with Edgar. I’m convinced.”
After hearing his words, Neil, who had been silent next to him, slightly raised his eyes under his long, slightly curly hair, and looked at Osphia who walked in from the door. Those calm and lowered eyes made her What people can’t see through also adds:
"The little girl who uses electricity,
The ability is also very powerful. "
"So, age doesn't mean anything, Leo. I know that you have a strong desire to fight against that person. I also want that person who is only full of boring pleasures and has no style and quality that an upper class person should have. Guys pay the price of failure.”
Even his nails were taken care of meticulously, and he seemed to have very strict requirements for his successful life. Simon put down the black tea in his hand and spoke calmly, taking a look at the girl who could feel the excellent qualities.
"There is a system to judge a person's strength. In the world of participants, no one is worthy of their name. Leo, remember this."
Under the dark sunglasses, Leonidas had a strong expression and nodded slightly, nodding in approval.
"I understand, Captain Simon."
After handing the suitcase to the housekeeper with a slightly curly moustache, the Italian girl with perfect appearance under the golden hair walked to the seat near the three of them that suited her status. Simon, who had the highest strength and status in the room, was the first to nod and set an example.
"Welcome, Miss Ophia."
"When we meet for the first time, we will fight together with China's Night Bureau in two days."
The burly figure in sunglasses by the window, Leonidas nodded slightly, his powerful chest muscles seemed to break out of his clothes. Neil beside him also looked at Osphia, and said simply and calmly:
"Hello."
It seemed that she was already very familiar with the members of other countries in the royal court, so she omitted self-introduction. Osphia was not surprised by this. For these members who were awakened or joined the royal court earlier than herself, even if It has also reached C level in terms of strength.
But Osphia still showed due respect and flawless etiquette, and introduced herself with a noble nod, raising her skirt slightly, and her standard English pronunciation was like a clear spring in summer.
"Osphia Le Guin, representing Italy and the Vatican, replaces Edgar in this national war."
The Victorian-style castle and the spacious and majestic reception hall are all scenes of polite exchanges between the two parties when they meet for the first time. They have a unique European style, like oil painting scenes from the past era.
Just after Osphia greeted the three people present, the door on the side of the living room opened, and a female figure who coexisted with dignity, elegance, and grace walked in, wearing a classic palace dress. Her appearance had changed even under the vicissitudes of time. She looks a little older but can still see the beauty of her youth.
Beside her is an old man with a cane, pursuing this A-level lady who is willing to return to the real world and has not even interfered with her appearance. I don’t know whether it is true or not. In short, she has a positive attitude. Smiling, he raised one arm and acted as her guard knight in a humorous manner.
The moment they saw the two of them walking in, everyone in the living room stood up at the same time. Even Leonidas, who was obviously not qualified and had too strong muscles, all used standard aristocratic etiquette. Pay tribute to the two A-ranks whose families are descended from the great nobility of this country in the past.
"It's an honor to meet you two, Ms. Linhua and Mr. Korossos."
Hearing the salutes of the four people, Herschel Linhua let go of the arm of the flower-guarding gentleman beside her and saluted with a noble salute. Next to her, Corossus smiled at the few people who did not bring them. The opening of the shelf and aura:
"It is really a joy to see so many outstanding juniors at the same time. I even want to take out the red wine collected in the wine cellar to celebrate."
Then after saying this, and being glanced at by the woman next to him, he twisted his cane in a circle, shrugged humorously, and then said with a smile:
"But since there are two beautiful women present, it would be too cunning for us men to just enjoy themselves, so forget it."
Listening to his words, Osphia was slightly surprised. Although she had long heard that the top person in charge of the royal court was a gentleman who was not rigid but very easy-going and wise, the impression of their first meeting still gave her a different feeling. .
As the master of the castle took his seat, Simon, Neil, and Leonidas all frowned slightly. It was strange that except for the two A-level people present, there were only four people present. Although there were enough C-level candidates, there were not enough candidates. There are not enough people to participate in the B-level battle.
Casual greetings were carried out among a few people, and hearing Herschel's questions to her like a strict elder, Osphia could feel the dignity and courage of this woman.
"Although there are only two days left before the start of the national war, I believe that with the excellence of everyone present, we can create enough tacit understanding to cope with the next battle,"
Korossus looked at the four outstanding members of the royal court in front of him, took a special look at Osphia, and then spoke in a slightly soothing voice:
"Although China's Night Bureau is an official force that has only been established for ten years and is still immature, with a small number of members and all its members are still very young, there is an incredible cohesion in the girl who inherited it from her father's generation. Let them glow like the closest family members..."
At this point, he lowered his head and smiled slightly, not sure whether he was recalling or sighing.
"Reminds me even of a time when her father was still around, right, Hershel?"
"Yes, in the last fight, I felt the same will from that girl as her father."
Next to Korossus, Herschel Linhua nodded slightly, with appreciation in his eyes.
"Her father? I'm sorry, Lord Korossus, are you familiar with the father of the young A-level man who currently leads the Huaxia Night Bureau?"
Listening to the two people's memories, Simon, the only person present who was suitable to ask questions, sat upright and asked.
"Familiar? That's natural. After all, before the current Night Bureau was rebuilt, it had not experienced the betrayal of a member who had just died not long ago. The Night Bureau had just been born from the behemoth Zi Yexia, and the national war had lasted for decades. I am her father..."
Korossus then looked at several people and smiled, without any concealment or unnatural words:
"The man named Ye Jiangran was defeated."
The moment they heard this, Osphia and others were shocked. This was the first time they had heard of such a thing as they had never seen any information about the national war before.
"These are all things in the past, young men and beautiful little girls. Your task now is to get familiar with the coordination of fighting methods and abilities with your companions."
"Excuse me for being rude, sir, where are my two teammates?"
"I think Ms. Herschel can answer that for you."
Hearing Simon's doubts, Colossus smiled slightly and looked at the lady sitting next to him.
"The time has come."
Glancing at the watch on his wrist, Hershel nodded slightly to the butler at the door, then watched him bow and retreat.
The next second everyone was confused, the light of the teleportation circle suddenly lit up in the spacious and huge living room!
The bright light silently and automatically outlined complex lines and carved alphabetical symbols. In the center of the magic circle that was completed in an instant, at the moment when the light was at its strongest, two figures appeared out of thin air!
A handsome young man with a slight smile on his lips and an awe-inspiring and beautiful female figure with long platinum curly hair appeared at the same time. Kolossus and Hershel Linhua stood up at the same time to greet them. They were surprised that both A-levels stood up at the same time. At the same time, Simon, Neil and Leonidas also stood up at the same time,
The moment she saw the woman who was as dignified and gorgeous as a white rose in the light, Osphia couldn't help but clenched her palms and her eyes widened.
While surprised that the young man they all knew who he was appeared, the three men realized that they had no impression of the woman beside him at all.
However, what surprised them most, something that even Colossus and Hershel did not expect, happened in the next second.
The teleportation circle did not disappear directly after completing its mission.
Instead, it floated and scattered into shimmering light, slowly forming a graceful silhouette of a lady, with a slightly beautiful curve at the corner of her mouth.
"It seems like we're a little late."
