Chapter 3316 The afternoon tea party at the Opera House

Xia De checked in "Analysis of the Time and Space Chaos Theory", "Introduction to Advanced Lock Application", and "Enhanced Compound Color Moonlight Spell", and crossed out "The Changing Transformer" - he had never thought about continuing to improve his transformation, and then he tilted his head to the bathroom and asked:

"Galina, how do you feel about the course "Introduction to Sword Fighting Magic"?"

This course teaches "sword technique" rather than curse. But it is not a sword technique that ordinary people can use, but rather an extraordinary sword technique similar to the "sword dance·return" used by the demons in the mountains on Sunday nights.

Xia De learned a lot of this kind of swordsmanship in the inheritance of the Night Watcher and Sister Devlin. But he only used these extraordinary swordsmanship to use the power of moonlight, so he did not systematically transform them into his own magic.

"Introduction to Sword Fighting Magic" is an unpopular elective course. After all, in the Sixth Age, the magical spells of the ring warriors had both melee combat and long attack. There were very few ring warriors who deliberately used sword skills. Even at low levels, they had sword-like spiritual weapons such as "Moonlight Sword", and few people deliberately learned sword-fighting magic.

After all, mastering the [Moonlight Sword] is equivalent to mastering the entry tickets for all the moonlight magic spells. Even if the sword fighting magic can open the mountain with one sword, the basic magic of "Moonlight Slash" can also open the mountain with one blow after proficiency.

"Obsolete things. If you want to learn, there is no need to go to class on purpose. Go to Megan and Audrey and ask them to help open the study of the council. There is no shortage of such obsolete things in the council. Just take the old information and ask Sister Deflyn to guide you. The nun is a very good teacher. She will never hide her personal information from you."

The Duchess gave valuable suggestions, and Shade crossed out the last course.

The tea party that Jialina invited Xia De to participate in the afternoon was not very important social activities, including Queen Diana and several dukes and marquis' noble ladies gathered together to drink tea and watch the show, which was regarded as a means for the royal family to connect with the nobles of various families.

Sometimes young people are also taken to let the young people of the same generation know each other and can also play a role in blind dates. Of course, Xia De was taken by Galina not for blind dates. According to Dorothy's departure in the morning, the Duchess just wanted to show off.

Then it was obvious that Lessia took over the body:

"If I could take you out, I would show off like this."

After lunch at home, he was rubbing on the sofa for a while. At 1:30, the maids had already prepared the carriage, and Galina finally took Xia De out.

The afternoon tea party was held in the VIP room of the "Tobesque Grand Opera House". Queen Diana arrived earlier as the organizer than the two of Shades. The winter afternoon sun shone on the golden window frames and the porcelain teapot on the walnut round table, and even the indoor air had a scent of mint and jasmine.

Exquisite porcelain with blue and red patterns fills the tabletops, and when the silver teaspoon strikes the edge of the silver cake pan, it will produce elegant and rhythmic music.

Galina wore a light purple silk long dress, holding an ivory fan, and greeted people who were familiar with each other with her. As for Shade, who was held by Galina, everyone here knew him.

The drama on the small stage has begun, with guests sitting around the tea table, with the hem of the skirts stacked like waves, while the girls in black and white maid skirts shuttled like butterflies in the fragrance of honey cakes and black tea.

Since the messy summer of 1853 ended, no other major events have happened in Tobesque in two years. The Steam Capital is relatively peaceful in the wave of world change, and it is another peaceful afternoon.

Jialina sat next to Queen Diana, and Xia De also sat near Jialina.

Since it is in the VIP room of the Opera House, there are naturally performances on the stage in front of it. But this is not a regular opera performance, but a light comedy that generally "can't get on the table".

At this time, what Xia De was watching was an excerpt from the classic love story "Host of Horses" performed by changing the identities of the male and female protagonists. It was originally supposed to be a noble lady who was a young groom who was eager to be free, but now she has become a young groom girl who enthusiastically pursued the youngest son of the aristocratic family.

The jokes brought by the change of identity often cause laughter from the audience. Of course, there are also private talks among the ladies about oil paintings, antiques, gossip news, etc. Because the war is approaching, even in such tea parties, there is no shortage of discussion on war topics.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Xia De. He just drank black tea with sliced ​​lemons and watched the performance. Galina chatted with Queen Diana and the ladies at the same table. From time to time, she had to talk about Xia De and asked Xia De to say a few words like "Yes" and "I think so too" - it's obvious that she is just showing off.

However, Xia De did not feel that Galina was childish in doing this, but instead felt that it was very interesting.

There were indeed many young people coming, but they were not qualified to sit at the same table with Queen Diana. Xia De noticed someone playing Rhode cards in the corner, so he thought that he had been planning to play against Elder Harald and also saw what surprises the old man's deck at the foot of the snow-capped mountain would be. Unfortunately, he never found the right time.

Although the light comedy performance on stage cannot be the content of a formal performance, it can be seen that the actors are still very serious. Of course, in addition to the reasons for their dedication, this is also related to the identity of the audience in the audience.

As for the original work of this drama, which is the content of "The Poor Grooms Pursuing Aristocratic Miss", no one will come up with a satirical look at the relationship between Xia De and Galina. Galina's "high position and power" is not a joke.

So Xia De, who was doing nothing, gradually diverted his thoughts in the aroma of black tea and syrup, and then he remembered the "Host to Find a Horse" performed in those non-compliant "underground theaters". Sometimes the content of qing.se is added to attract audiences, such as letting the strong groom and the noble lady in the stables, horseback, and grassland.

【If you really feel free, what about finding something to do?】

The voice of "her" is even more pleasant than the soft chanting of "the girl from the groom's family" on the stage at this moment.

"What's the matter?"

[An abnormal element reaction appeared behind, and the form of power manifestation was very similar to "pink magic".]

Xia De kept his expression unchanged, continued to watch the performance on the stage, and did not turn back. The element fluctuations were extremely weak, so even he had to rely on "her" to perceive it. For this reason, although Queen Diana must have been protected by the church ring warlock, she should have not noticed the traces of those elements.

"Pink Magic" is also famous to some extent. Xia De can certainly guess what the emergence of this power is doing. He guessed that it was probably an ordinary person who participated in this tea party who obtained strange alchemy items from somewhere, or just saw some strange spells from the book, relying on his power to do something bad.

To be honest, Xia De actually had no need to get involved in this level of things, but since he was really bored at this time, he didn't mind seeing what "pink magic" the other party used. Although he didn't learn much, from a certain extent, outsiders with "original scriptures" are also considered masters in this field.

So Xia De said he wanted to go to the bathroom and got up and left here temporarily.

The departure of the only man at the table also made the noble ladies more bold. There are people who can be trusted at the table, and everyone must have relatives within three generations.

This kind of afternoon tea party between more private ladies does sometimes talk about some "privacy topics", but because of Jialina's "orientation issues" before, this topic usually avoids her. But this time there is no need to avoid her.

Of course, although this era is both conservative and open to the outsiders, the social etiquette of the upper class is still known for its conservatism and strictness. Talking about a certain topic publicly can be regarded as vulgar or even degenerate, but this does not affect the ladies' discussion in obscure ways, especially when everyone is paying attention to and interested in a certain topic - for example, now.

"Duke Galina, I heard you didn't spend the end of this year at Yodel Palace?"

The topic really focused on Galina Cavendish, and the latter also replied with a smile:

"Yes."

As he said that, he looked at Queen Diana, and the queen who was holding the teacup gracefully added on her behalf:

“Galina is having a festival this year at the Knight’s house in St. Terrain Square, and we are all very happy for her.”

An unmarried girl who goes to a man’s house to celebrate the festival at the end of the year is generally considered an indecent manifestation. But considering Garina’s age, this is indeed a very happy thing.

Everyone held up teacups to congratulate the Duchess. Seeing that she didn't mind discussing this topic, the ladies at the table continued to deepen the topic. Everyone first talked about the housing prices around St. Terran Square, and then talked about the fact that the Knights might be richer than ordinary little nobles after inheriting the property.

Then he talked about the fact that Galina seemed to have been arranging the maid to take care of the knight's house, so the topic diverged into the discussion of the men's clothing choices, and most of the ladies believed that the men's aesthetic was hopeless.

After going around for such a big time, the topic finally turned to what they really wanted to know:

"Galina, your complexion is really good lately. Is the quality of night breaks very good?"
