There was such an era, the British Empire in the 19th century,
Starting from 1837 to the end of the First World War experienced by some idiot in the scene, it begins with the Georgian Era and ends with the Edwardian Era.
During this period, Britain reached its peak in the world. Its territory reached an astonishing 36 million square kilometers, its national economy accounted for 70% of the world's total, and its trade exports were several times more than the rest of the world combined.
Just like China's prosperous Kaiyuan era, Britain was the most powerful period in the world at that time, and it was the Victoria period.
In this era of Queen Victoria's reign, inventions surged like waves, science progressed under faith, and the Industrial Revolution brought optimism and confidence.
The emergence of automobiles and steamships has brought unprecedented prosperity to transportation and trade. Railway transportation extends in all directions, running from east to west, north to 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 what we are talking about this time is not the prosperity of that era, but a brief mention of this castle somewhere in England, which comes from the architectural style of that era.
Interpreting the meaning of classicism and abandoning the aesthetics of mechanical rationality, the Victorian style likes all styles of decorative elements, Renaissance, Romanesque, Tudor, Elizabethan or Italian style,
These have been reinterpreted and built into new buildings, and the original construction methods and materials have been improved. Such scenes can be seen everywhere in this castle.
Colorful oil paintings, wall paintings with bold colors, strong color contrast decoration, neutral colors such as black, white, and gray combined with brown and gold highlight the luxury and atmosphere.
This hall, prepared for the most important guests of the castle today, is splendid because of the family whose owners originated from that period.
But these are the ones carrying old-fashioned suitcases,
The young woman with long splendid golden hair was a little pale the moment she 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 large hay rolls are being rolled, her burly figure, nearly two meters tall, can be remembered at a glance.
The muscles all over his body were extremely distinct even under his clothes. With his thick arms folded across his chest, Leonidas turned around and wore tough sunglasses that muscular people seemed to like. His low and hoarse voice asked with some distrust.
road.
In his opinion, this is just a little girl who has not grown up yet.
Sitting on the sofa seat next to him, he had long hair on his forehead that almost covered his eyes. His lowered eyes and expressionless face made him look a little taciturn.
Even when he appeared on the light blue wall before, it was difficult for people to remember his appearance, but there was 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 you. I'm just fighting with such a young girl. It's hard for me to imagine that I can 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 abilities 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 am 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 is also very capable."
"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 to be full of boredom and enjoyment without any of the style and quality that an upper class person should have.
The guy pays the price of failure.”
Even her nails are taken care of meticulously, and she seems to have very strict requirements for her 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 quality.
"There is a system to judge a person's strength. In the world of participants, there is no name that is not worthy of the 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 towards a seat suitable for her status near the three of them.
Simon, who had the highest strength and status present, 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 he was already very familiar with the members of other countries in the royal court, so he omitted the introduction of himself.
Osphia was not surprised by this. For these members who awakened or joined the royal court earlier than herself, even if they have reached C level in 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 grand 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.
A female figure with dignity and elegance coexisted, wearing a classical palace dress and walked in. Even though her appearance looked a little old due to the vicissitudes of time, she could 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.
I don't know whether the rumors that she didn't interfere with her appearance are true or not. In short, she raised one arm with a smile 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 including Leonidas, who was obviously not qualified and had too strong muscles.
They all used standard aristocratic etiquette as a way to pay respect to the two A-levels whose families originated 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 aristocratic salutes. Next to her, Colossus smiled at the few people who did not bring them.
The opening of the shelf and aura:
"It is really a happy thing 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 turned 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.
But 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 in surprise. Apart from the two A-levels, there were only four people present.
Although there are enough candidates for C-level, there are simply 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 been established for only ten years, it is still immature, with a small number of people and all its members are still very young, but the girl who inherited it from her father's generation,"
"There is an incredible cohesion in them that makes them radiate with vitality like the closest family members..."
Having said this, 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, Herschel?"
"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 memories of the two people, 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 yet 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,"
"During the decades of national war, I was her father..."
Korossus then looked at a few people and smiled, without any cover-up 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 things in the past. Boys and beautiful girls, your task now is to get familiar with the combat methods and abilities of your companions."
"Excuse me for being rude, sir, where are my two teammates?"
"I think Ms. Herschel can answer this 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, Herschel 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 platinum slightly curly hair appeared at the same time. Kolossus and Herschel Linhua stood up to greet them at the same time.
Surprised that the two A-levels stood up 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 clench her palms and her eyes widened.
While surprised that the young man whom they all knew appeared, the three men discovered that they had no impression of the woman next to him...
