When a group of academicians were fighting, Ma Kai was holding a glass of red wine and leaning lazily against a pillar.

Beside him, there were more than 20 famous gentlemen in the imperial capital.

These gentlemen, who were born in the lowest family and also have the title of marquis, are the same as Ma Kai, they are a group of people who are not literate and unsuccessful, and they are good at walking dogs and fighting cocks all day long, and causing trouble.

Just like today's Chinese New Year celebrations, the guests of Hydra Palace were all dressed in formal dresses, while Ma Kai and the group of gentlemen around him, in casual hunting or riding suits, wore nondescript sailor hats with streamers on their heads, and were full of laziness.

Behind them was a large hall of people coming and going.

At their feet were nine steps.

In front of the stairs is a plaza where a large number of guests gather.

The place where a group of academicians fought, less than a hundred feet away from them. They are condescending and just have the whole process in their eyes.

Ma Kai looked at the academicians who were supported by the court knights, and suddenly laughed: "Defeated guy, I've only punched a few punches, why is it over?" ”

A young man holding a wine glass, holding a cigarette in his mouth, squatting beside Ma Kai with a very unfigurative 'poof', spit most of the cigarette roll on the ground: "Who can think of a way to give them more strength...... Let them, fight again? Let's take a gamble? ”

Ma Kai suddenly became interested, he also squatted down, and gently shook the wine glass in his hand: "Those guys from the Engineering Academy, their combat effectiveness must be more than a big cut." They can't be allowed to interfere. Not! ”

A red-haired young man also squatted down, he frowned, and stared at the group of academicians seriously: "Well, I heard that a few days ago, at the budget meeting of the Academy of Sciences, the School of Biology and the School of Medicine had a big quarrel over next year's funds, and they almost got ......."

The red-haired young man pulled out a sharp scalpel from his pocket.

God knows why this guy carries a scalpel with him when he attends a palace banquet!

He shook the alloy knife, the blade of which was cold and shining, and said softly, "Who has the best skills?" Blend in and cut the ass of the intermediate academician of the Academy of Biology...... Well, that's the one who has his back to the mid-level academician of the medical school with his back to a few old guys. ”

"Cut it and throw it in place." The red-haired young man smirked: "Then, Your Highness Ma Kai, you go to testify, and you will say that you saw the hand of a man wearing a white ribbon. ”

Ma Kai blinked desperately, and then he pulled out a stack of bills from his chest pocket: "Bet first, I think, those guys from the Biology Academy can win." ”

A group of gentlemen have placed bets.

Mackay 'giggled' and somehow pulled out a pen and paper to record the bets placed by a group of his companions.

As he wrote, he kept looking up in the direction where the academicians had gathered.

Fiercely, his hand froze.

He pursed his lips, put down his pen, and pointed in the direction where Qiao and the others were: "Oh, can anyone tell me where those two black-haired beauties are?" The big iceberg beauty, and the little cutie. ”

A blonde young man glanced at Joe, squatted down as well, and leaned into Mackay's ear.

"Well, the two daughters of the hillbilly Vetus family from Tulum Harbor. Tsk, in the past two days, there have been brothers eyeing them. The Wittu family is a rich man, and if he can get his hands on it, he can get both people and money. ”

With a snap of his mouth, the blond-haired young man sighed: "But, Your Highness Ma Kai, the Vetu family has been gaining momentum a bit lately. Their eldest son, Gorkin, is now very much used by your father's side. ”

The blond-haired young man lowered his voice: "I heard my uncle say that the highlight of this celebration is the Weitu family...... If not, their family will become, the top Teuton of the empire. ”

Ma Kai looked at the blonde youth in shock: "They're just from the countryside of Tulun Harbor, hillbilly!" Top Teuton? Just by them? ”

Another black-haired young man also squatted down: "Two days ago, I also heard from my father that the news from the Hydrera Palace was leaking...... The three fathers and sons of the Wittu family will be knighted at the same time, and the title is very high. Originally, their family was awarded the highest marquis, but I don't know how to get it, I heard two days ago that their family will be crowned! ”

Mackay was a little messy.

Although he is a bastard, he also knows that the Delun Empire is still extremely strict with the awarding of knighthoods.

Don't talk about the Junker aristocracy.

The Junker aristocracy, a special aristocratic class produced in a special era, used astronomical wealth to buy aristocratic treatment from the imperial royal family. In this way, the Junker aristocracy was still far inferior to the Teutonic nobility in terms of real privilege.

The Teutonic aristocracy, on the other hand, could not be awarded non-military merits.

Not to mention the title of duke.

Duke Ross, Grand Duke of Casica, how did their family's title of duke come from? Duke Rus's father led the imperial army all the way south, conquered the territory of more than a dozen provinces, and conquered the port of Tulun, the only outlet to the sea in the south of the empire, so that he could be given the title of duke.

Did the Vetol family make any great achievements?

"Wow...... I'm going to make out with them. Ma Kai stood up, threw the paper recording the betting information to his companions, his eyes flashed with a misty ghost, and he smiled softly: "I want to make out with them." ”

"A rich man in the port of Tulum is nothing if he has money. But if you have money and a duke, then they can barely match me. ”

Ma Kai smirked: "I don't have any thoughts about the throne, you know...... So, the daughter of a wealthy and powerful duke...... Even a duchess, enough to be worthy of me. ”

The red-haired young man looked at Ma Kai in amazement: "They are not qualified to inherit the title......

Ma Kai shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "But what if all the men of the Vetu family are killed?" You'll help me, won't you? ”

Ma Kai's fox friends flashed their eyes and laughed at the same time.

Ma Kai handed the wine glass in his hand to his companion, he squatted down, took out a white handkerchief, and vigorously wiped his dusty riding boots again and again, barely wiping the dust away, so that the boots barely showed a trace of brilliance.

Looking at the boots dissatisfied, Ma Kai grunted.

He stood up, pulled the tight-fitting little hunting suit on his body, adjusted the sailor's hat on his head, and walked down the steps with a steady and steady standard aristocratic step, through the crowd, towards Qiao and the others.

A group of fox friends and dog friends whispered behind them, betting on whether Ma Kai could win the hearts of Tifa and Weima in three or two sentences...... Oh, it's mainly Tifa's heart, and Weima, a little girl who looks innocent and confused, seems to them to be just a partner.

The direction of the main attack is still Tifa.

Joe's eyes gleamed crimson.

Countless people gathered in the square, and everyone was divided into small circles to talk and laugh, greet each other, and there was a lot of people everywhere.

Rao is so, after he has obtained a little power from the wolf king Wall, his hearing has reached the point of inhumanity.

In the boiling and noisy voices, he suddenly heard the keywords 'Tulun Port' and 'Vetura', and he automatically blocked all other sounds, and his attention was all shrouded in the direction from which these keywords came.

He heard Mackay's unashamed words.

Joe's face changed slightly.

When he looked up, he saw Ma Kai, who was wearing a sailor's hat, wearing a small hunting suit, a pair of dirty boots, dressed in a nondescript manner, with a trace of fatigue after staying up all night and partying all night, and two big bags under his eyes and slightly blackened Ma Kai.

With a brisk step, Ma Kai was walking through the flow of people and walking towards this direction.

Seeing Joe looking at him, Ma Kai grinned and showed Joe a smile that he thought was very charming, very bright, and very affable.

Joe licked her lips.

That group of guys just called Ma Kai 'Your Highness'?

Royalty?

Joe looked left and right, he wanted to find out if Salian was there, he wanted to ask Salian if there would be any bad outcome if he beat up this 'Highness' in public.

Ma Kai was still more than twenty feet away from Joe's group, and he was about to raise his hand to greet Joe.

A middle-aged man in a dark blue dress, a triangular admiral's hat, and a thin cane with a round head and seven or eight followers rushed out of the crowd with a fierce force, and a guy squeezed Ma Kai around, grabbed Ma Kai, and strode towards Joe.

Ma Kai shouted a foul language comparable to that of a ruffian.

Old Lady Mary jerked her head up, squinted, and stared deeply and fiercely at Mackay.

Chief Merlin looked up, rolled his eyes, and silently prayed in his heart for some unlucky child.

When the menacing man in the dark blue tuxedo rushed over, Hesse and Joe took a big step forward at the same time, blocking Tifa and Weima. Both father and son noticed that the group of people was not good.

Whether it was Hesse or Joe, they held their breath at the same time, and at the same time, there was a 'click' sound of bones hitting each other. Joe's body shape didn't change much, but on the backs of Hesse's hands, the veins of earthy yellow and faintly shimmering with a faint metallic light bulged suddenly.

On his fingers, the tiny blood vessels also bulged violently, and his entire palm became as hideous as a monster.

"Why, Mr. Merlin, it seems that an opponent has come to the door...... Hey. Hesse didn't forget to glance at the head of Merlin: "If they attack, I can fight back, right?" Ha? ”

Chief Merlin had a gloomy face, staring at the group of people who rushed up in stride: "It's Marquis Thomson, the deputy envoy of the Ice Sea Kingdom in this country...... What do you want to do, Your Excellency Marquis? ”

Chief Merlin took two sharp steps forward, blocking Hesse and Joe, who were ready to attack.

With a gloomy face, he looked fiercely at this group of unscrupulous officials from the Ice Sea Kingdom Embassy.

"Aha, Lord Merlin, it's a nice day." Vice Admiral Thomson habitually began with the most accustomed 'weather' in the Ice Sea Kingdom: "The things here have nothing to do with you...... I just want to have a good conversation with the bloated and obese major behind you. ”

'Bloated and obese'?

A marquis, in such words, to describe another nobleman.

In Medland, this almost means an invitation to a duel to the death, with the most naked-naked malice.
