Of course, this cocktail party will not be held in the private suite in the top garden, but will be held in the hotel's grandest banquet hall "Haiqingbo". In order to give Plato's dignitaries the best experience, the people who arranged the cocktail party have already been busy.
.
"I've been waiting for you at the appointed place for thirty minutes, Xuanji, why are you late again?"
Lancer Xu sent a video out at lightning speed and sighed in his heart: I always have to wait for this young lady.
Standing on the grand glass steps, Lancer Xu was wearing a straight dark blue lieutenant uniform with crimson trim on the cuffs, indicating his identity as a staff officer. He had lost some weight after returning from the interstellar battlefield.
He looks more handsome.
There are colorful musical art fountains on both sides, and four very high white marble Ionic columns are arranged at the entrance of the central reception, which looks very elegant, perhaps paying tribute to Plato's Palace of Foch.
Such an arrangement requires guests to walk up the stairs. There are a large number of well-dressed dignitaries and various beautiful women, all wearing a variety of grand evening gowns and dazzling jewelry, with faces showing joy and elegance.
Amidst the gentle music, people poured in.
It was Lancer's first time to participate in such a high-end occasion. This young black-haired civilian stood in front of the gorgeous scene, a little at a loss. He felt that it was indeed extraordinary, but he also cursed in his heart:
The soldiers on the front line suffered heavy casualties, and you are here to kneel down and lick the Platonic people!
In the end, he helped Xuanji. He couldn't stand that she was always so melancholy and weird. She needed an answer, and he also needed a clear result.
"Murakami-san, help me! Please! My happiness in life depends on you!" He almost knelt down to beg for mercy, asking a Japanese hacker from the General Staff for help like a grandpa suing a grandma.
The strange-looking man frowned with a serious look on his face.
After a period of frantic knocking, Murakami hacked into the guest list system and replaced a Chinese female model with a similar look with Xuanji's photo. In order to enhance the atmosphere, many high-end cocktail parties in the "bitch paradise" of Star City would invite many young and beautiful people.
A social butterfly, Xuanji happened to be an amateur model as well. Unexpectedly, she succeeded in changing the situation.
And he himself actually found out through the privilege system of the General Staff that there was a quota for someone to withdraw due to something, so he quickly applied for a ticket for himself on the grounds of intelligence analysis.
He would definitely not worry about letting Xuanji go to see Kalki alone.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Xuanji's pleasant voice sounded beside him.
Because she spent so much time getting dressed up, she missed the hotel's hovercar that receives guests. She had to take her own hovercar and then walk all the way to the entrance.
She wore very pointed high heels, and when she passed by in a hurry, everyone paid her attention and saluted her along the way.
Lancer turned around and saw the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his life.
Xuanji, dressed in a long red dress, was like a goddess coming to the world. Like all Platonic military aristocrats, she originally had long straight legs and a height of 175 centimeters. She looked even taller when she put on high heels of at least 10 centimeters. And she was obviously very careful today.
After dressing up, she used to be a piece of natural and simple jade, but in the dreamy night tonight, she is as beautiful as a goddess rising from the sea.
Her black hair hangs softly on one side, and she obviously used a hairdressing machine to make an elegant hairstyle. Her makeup is so exquisite, her seductive red lips and red skirt complement each other, and she also wears light ear-hook tassel earrings.
The thread is inlaid with star stones with extremely high color scatter, which shines with light, reflecting the almost perfect face.
She stood in front of the beautiful art fountain like a proud goddess, with a heroic aura of a soldier, which Lancer did not possess among the beautiful soft girls he saw walking by.
He stared at Xuanji blankly, feeling that she was like a rare sword, so beautiful and sharp.
"You are so beautiful tonight, no one is more beautiful than you."
Lancer's eyes flashed, and his heart pounded wildly. These words sounded like a compliment, but they were his sincere feelings.
"Oh." Her attitude was a little perfunctory. She was like a proud Platonic knight who had no interest in others praising her appearance.
She looked up at the entrance to the four pillars at the top of the steps. Her heart was full of nervousness and expectation, really hoping to see Kalki.
The two of them walked up with the brisk pace of young people, and Lancer realized that all the men were looking at Xuanji.
There is an invisible light curtain on the pillar that can be entered by scanning the face. No identification is required. No one in Mangxing City has secrets.
They saw a well-dressed guest who failed to pass the identity verification and was pulled aside by security personnel.
After entering, Prince Karuizawa's inner hall was still a piece of blue water as calm as a mirror. They stood on an elevator imitating Bailian and sent them directly to the door of the largest banquet hall.
Then, another extremely bright and huge space appeared in front of the two of them.
"Wow! It's so beautiful, so classy!" Lancer sighed.
"This is..." Xuanji was also shocked. She had never attended such a high-level luxury cocktail party. The carpet was so comfortable that she felt like she was stepping on clouds.
What was displayed in front of them was a world created by holographic 3D projection. A huge terrace similar to a sea view palace faced an endless sea. On one side were white towering stone pillars and on the other side was the vast and boundless sea. Although it was a virtual image, everything was
It is extremely lifelike and has the effect of sea breeze, including a special sea breeze smell, which is very different from the bitter and salty sea breeze of the Thetis Ocean that they are familiar with. The sea breeze here carries the unusually fresh aroma of citrus plants.<
/p>
There are arches with real scenes on both sides of the terrace, and they are also decorated with real natural plants. White orange blossoms and orange-red bitter oranges are among the dense green leaves, which are fragrant.
"Is this imitating Plato's palace? The Palace of Purple Chen... Bai Na Foch!" Lancer had never seen such an elegant, luxurious, and extremely natural beauty. Although he knew that these were all simulated scenes, he could not help but admire it.
He exclaimed, "It turns out that Plato's star is so beautiful!"
Yi Pang uses a huge photon screen as a sign-in screen, which also imitates a scene of a palace. Guests need to climb up the stairs to be automatically photographed.
After waiting for a while, the two of them also climbed up the stairs. Xuanji did not stand to take pictures, but walked to the corner of the terrace extending from one side, leaned gently against the huge white stone pillar, and quietly admired Anaxi.
The majesty and tranquility of Tahai.
Lancer Xu was also looking at Xuanji who was admiring the beautiful scenery. She stood here, so harmonious with everything around her, with her black hair flowing. He thought to himself: She is really a Platonic female knight, how suitable she is to stand in this scenery.
in.
"You guys move faster and give way, okay? There are so many people waiting behind you!"
A woman in her thirties who looked like a noble lady in luxurious clothes walked towards them and spoke arrogantly, "Gaians always compete with each other without any politeness.
This place is arranged for guests to take photos after signing in, not for them to stand still and enjoy the virtual scenery.
The two of them lowered their heads and hurriedly walked down the stairs from one side.
"Perhaps one day I will use the Palace of White House Foch as a stable." Lancer suddenly said this on a whim, and also used classical rhetoric, "Drinking horses from the Tianhan River."[1]
"Save it for yourself. The White House Foch Palace can already take off and land transforming fighter jets on a large scale. There are 40,000 undead troops stationed there." Xuanji retorted coldly, "You should take Messier back first." p>
These words left Lancer speechless for a moment. Being captured by the White Tiger Knights at Messier Base was the nightmare and shame of his life.
They passed through an exquisite arch and entered the huge reception venue, where straight and graceful marble columns stood everywhere, dotted with olive trees, oleanders, orange blossom trees and other common plants in Plato's palace. One wall was covered with
It is arranged to create an endless realistic seascape, with piles of golden beaches, and even a vague feeling of sea breeze blowing, and a pleasant fragrance is wafted.
"Wow, it's so elegant. It makes you feel like you are having a cocktail party at the Palais Blanche." Lieutenant Xu was at a loss in such an environment.
Around him, young commanders of the two fleets "Ji Zhou" and "Hohenstaufen" shuttled back and forth. Everyone was wearing ceremonial style "shervani" and combing their hair in neat buns. "Ji Zhou"
"Zhou" mostly had East Asian faces, and some looked like mixed races. As soon as Lancer saw them, he realized that they were of the same race as Xuanji, not the East Asians of Gaia, who were siblings.
The "Qinglong" nobles are also tall and handsome, but have a refined and noble reserved temperament.
In this way, he inexplicably remembered something: Should Xuanji also have a fiancé in Plato?!
Most of the "Hohenstaufen" are white, and they are more heroic and full of military strength. Some of the commanders are mixed-race, and they are also very tall and handsome.
"Oh, Plato's soldiers are so popular!" Lancer opened his eyes wide.
Each Platonic soldier was surrounded by several Gaian women. If a group of Platonic soldiers were together, they would be surrounded by a group of Gaian girls. We don’t know what they were talking about. Plato did not allow the use of on-site translators at the reception.
device, as if deliberately causing communication difficulties between the two parties.
Xuanji saw many girls with exaggerated expressions and gesticulating desperately. The soldiers of the two fleets could only nod politely. This scene was really interesting.
The uniforms of the two fleets are very easy to identify. There are no knights of the White Tiger Knights here.
Kalki didn't come - after looking around in the venue for a while, Xuanji showed a disappointed expression.
But Lancer was shocked by the high-end atmosphere around him. In the middle of the venue was a clear water, and next to it was an ancient Roman-style rowing warship. It was made of a crystal-like fully transparent material, and the crystal was transparent.
There are a lot of extremely exquisite vegan foods piled on it, and you can take them as you like.
The green and blue water flows down from the side again, and the part leading to the sea view is filled with fragrance. It turns out that this is a precious eau de toilette from a lake, exuding the fresh smell of citrus and orange blossom, matching the elegance of Plato's Palace
It feels like a fairy's residence amidst the overflowing fragrance.
Lieutenant Xu strolled to the transparent battleship in the center and stared at the various foods in front of him that were like works of art: Japanese and Chinese dairy-free vegetarian snacks were made into various flowers and small fruits, and were placed
On the transparent streamlined countertop, it is decorated with oriental Zen floral arrangements of white and purple lilacs, as well as soft drinks and various non-alcoholic sparkling wines, which sparkle with attractive colors under the light.
When it comes to style, Plato's diet is actually higher! Lancer sighed in his heart that the ruling class in every era of mankind have been drinking and meat, just in different ways.
He also tasted some delicacies. Well, he is really the best kaiseki chef in Manxing City. He has eaten at so many Internet celebrity restaurants in vain.
Kalki will not come because he naturally hates luxury.
Xuanji stood blankly. She should have expected that she only had hope, because this was the only occasion where she could see him. They were not from the same world.
Suddenly, a small noise sounded on the wide marble staircase on one side.
On the side facing the illusory sea is a wide staircase with a slightly rotating arc. Palms and bitter orange trees are arranged on the side. The green leaves cover both sides, which is very beautiful.
Xuanji, who was standing not far away, turned around. She originally thought that the large staircase was just a background decoration, but she didn't expect that someone could actually walk down from it, and there was a large group of people.
The leader was a tall man, wearing a "Sherwani" uniform with the hem pulled down to his knees. The upper body of the uniform was very stiff and thick. A special material with a silk-like texture shone with silvery white and light gold and stuck tightly to his body.
On the strong and broad chest and shoulders, the waist is narrowed and looks unusually straight. A thick, wide and long shawl cloth is draped over the left shoulder, almost hanging to the ground with graceful lines. The color of the shawl is golden on the outside and crimson on the inside.
Because his left arm is bent, it looks like a Roman robe, or seems to have an Indian style. This is the dress of a high-level Platonic soldier. The collar of the uniform adopts a classical stand-up collar design, and the collar badge on a red background
Golden oak leaves are used as military rank identification[2], and the golden patterns on the shoulder and collar badges look radiant under the light.
His demeanor was very noble and upright, and his dark boots stepped firmly on the marble steps. When he led everyone halfway, a dramatic rain of purple roses fell from the sky, as if to welcome a person.
Roman Emperor.
"Kalki?..." Xuanji didn't believe her eyes, so she walked over quickly and unconsciously.
[1] ākā?agā, also known as the Tianhan River, is the large river in Putuo Luojia that enters the Bainafuxi Palace from the government offices. It is 2.5 kilometers wide and separates the Forbidden Palace and the government offices. There are five
A huge and wide covered bridge with columns can be passed through. Plato's political philosophy is similar in appearance to Eastern imperial rule, but in fact it is an aristocratic republic.
[2] The uniforms of the Plato Knights and the fleet adopt two different sets of military ranks and identification systems. The Grand Master of the Knights - the eight-pointed star, the leader - the oak leaf, the deacon - the cornflower leaf, the "high-level" undead army - the holly leaf,
The undead army—Wheat, the knight—Lightning, the subordinate—Berry Leaf, and the underage trainee—Parisy Leaf.
