The family manor of the Stan family is located on a small island in the Southern Ocean at 27 degrees south latitude. The island, like the manor, is new, with no more than one annual ring. According to Gal, there is also a thrilling allusion to breaking out of the siege——
The reason why the Stan family built the manor is very simple. In the past, the Stan family was just a "grass bandit" on the border. There was no manor or official settlement in the aristocratic land on the lighthouse star. So now that they have been recognized by the Super Power Association of the temple, and have the title of noble and family name, they must have a manor along with it. And since it is the official manor of a nobleman, it must be between thirty degrees of north and south latitude of the lighthouse star. Otherwise, what else would it be called a nobleman? !
However, it is not easy to build a manor between the 30 latitudes of north and south!
The land is in the hands of other nobles, and you have to be willing to sell it to you before you can build. This requires a lot of dignity and ability to do it. The so-called eight immortals cross the sea, each showing his magical powers.
For example, the Creston family, who was promoted to the manor nobles together with the Stan family, was also scornfully called "nouveau riche" by the Acropolis. However, when it comes to registering nobles with the association, their family name was recognized, and there were also a hundred people who were honored as border nobles. Over the years, there is not all accumulation in Lighthouse Star. Moreover, because of the special relationship between the family patriarch and the widow of the Acropolis, who is the kind count father in the mouth of the widow of the Acropolis, His Excellency Philip, the heir of the great aristocrat Theodore of the Acropolis, personally came forward to mediate, and it was easy to negotiate with each other. I got a piece of land at a low price and built a manor.
But with such accumulation, the Stan family, which has not even washed away the mud on its legs and feet and the blood on its hands, is gone. More importantly, none of their family members can establish a relationship with the Acropolis Widow, and cannot seduce the nobles to come forward on their behalf. As a result, the possibility of the Stan family buying land is almost gone.
Although they took advantage of the expulsion incident to climb up to David Duran and become a nobleman, David Duran is now dead, and they once pursued him fiercely and tried their best to dig out a piece of flesh as an entrance. The Heidi family is still there, and so is Princess Helena of the Heidi family. This was a very sad ending, which meant that they had completely lost everything. They stepped on the corpses of the Heidi family, climbed on the feet of David Duran, and continued to climb up until they opened up a cone of land in the dense aristocratic world between the 30th north and south latitudes. opportunity - of course, relying on the patrimonial rights provisions of the "Sacred Code", they successfully stayed in the Dulan family and enjoyed the protection of the Dulan family, so that they would not be immediately destroyed or driven back to their hometown. But that's all. Apart from the basic protection, the Dulan family can't give them more support and care, let alone squeeze out a noble land for them. Therefore, the Stan family has nobility status and a lot of gold coins, but they are still bandits, both in reality and in the eyes of the nobles.
Who would sell their noble land to a grass bandit? Hahaha, that’s so embarrassing, no matter how much money you give, not to mention we are not short of money!
However, the Stan family is a struggling family. Their patriarch, Mr. Stan, is a courageous person - this courage probably comes from his ability to lead the family across hundreds of millions of light years to the lighthouse star to participate in the noble hunt, and It can be seen in the final victory in this bloody hunt and the most delicious trophy. The courageous Mr. Stan never admits defeat or believes in evil, and he understands the principle of "if you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will succeed". He was not knocked down by the arrogance and prejudice of the aristocratic world, nor did he fight and confront them. Instead, he found a new way and set his sights on the high seas, which accounted for more than half of the land.
If the east is not bright and the west is bright, if we can’t buy land, we can build it ourselves!
Therefore, through massive bribery and bribery, Mr. Stan obtained all 173 approvals from the Lighthouse Star government and the United Nations management agency to set up permanent artificial floating islands in public waters as quickly as possible, and then took advantage of all the superpowers. When the capable nobles did not react, he drove the artificial floating island that had been prepared in advance to the sea near 27 degrees south latitude and 140 degrees east longitude. Then he began to build a large-scale construction project on the floating island and built a family manor.
The nobles were caught off guard by the errant move of the Stan tribe, who was born as a "grass bandit". They had no choice but to expel him by force regardless of the face of the Dulan family, so they had no choice but to pinch their noses and admit the established fact. As for Patriarch Stan himself, many superpower nobles privately wrote the word "submit" to him in their hearts because of this. Therefore, when the Stan family manor is completed, it is not strictly forbidden for young people in the family to come to attend banquets and deal with "grass bandits".
…
After flying for more than three hours, the airship finally approached the sea near 27 degrees south latitude and 140 degrees east longitude. From a distance, you can see the Stan Family Manor like a soft white shell embedded in the center of the blue water. Along the edge of the shell, surrounding the floating island, is a circle of shining long seams, forming the shape of a ribbon and a flower. It is extraordinarily beautiful and wild, something Gu Hanhan has never seen before - she has never seen it before in other places. Similar structures were seen on the estates of nobles.
"What is that?" Gu Hanhan pointed at Guang Lian and asked.
"Oh, that should be the aircraft take-off and landing strip." Gal replied, "It is used to launch armed combat boats and small interstellar battleships. If such aircraft are launched in a combat state on the planet, they may require a specific launch trajectory, and It’s not a direct takeoff and landing like usual.”
He smiled slightly: "It seems that the Stan family has equipped many powerful weapons-grade aircraft in their family manor, just like many border nobles do. It is no wonder that other families dislike their 'grass bandits' style."
Gu Hanhan said "Oh" and thought to himself: This is called not forgetting one's true nature. What a fine style - it's not like the Acropolis. The palace is full of silk, gems and handsome men and women painted with makeup. In addition to being extravagant and licentious, the nobles are probably not. They couldn't even lift a gun. Who knew they were actually fighting "grass bandits" back then?
On the eve of the airship landing, the valets woke Zheng Wenwen and gave her some more drinks mixed with safety stimulants. When Zheng Wenwen was completely awake and energetic, he brought the prepared dress and jewelry and helped her change.
Except for her guest appearance at a family hotel last time, Zheng Wenwen wore such a retro aristocratic dress for the first time, so it was very fresh: "This garden party is also responsible for providing costumes and props? It's quite professional. Is this what the so-called aristocratic banquet dress looks like?" It looks different from the movie——"
The valet replied: Now the lady is changing into a day dress. The evening dress is more similar to the movie, but there are subtle differences in reality. In fact, the dresses in the movie can only be regarded as palace dresses, worn by secular princes and nobles. , far less luxurious and comfortable than the dresses worn by the temple nobles.
Zheng Wenwen was confused by their various terms and nobles, so she simply ignored them. But the dress fit perfectly, as if it was specially customized for her. It fit perfectly after wearing it, and the jewelry with energy stones made her look even more gorgeous. Zheng Wenwen looked at herself in the mirror and was so stunned that she remained silent for a long time. Looking back, she saw Gu Hanhan, who had also changed into a lavender dress, walking towards her in an extremely luxurious manner. She touched the shiny energy stone jewelry on her body and couldn't help but lower her head in surprise.
"Are these genuine?" She raised her head and said to Gu Hanhan, "They are so beautiful!"
"Probably," Gu Hanhan spread his hands, "Actually, I don't know whether it's true or not -"
"The tickets here are more than 888, right?" Zheng Wenwen asked.
"Hmm - 1888," Gu Hanhan replied casually, "VIP is 50% off, the second one is half price, and those who actively participate in the sacrifice are free."
"Fuck you!" Zheng Wenwen smiled, "Then I have to take a good photo, I can't waste these 1888!"
Want to take pictures?
——Well, I hope those "grass bandits" won't drop your ring.
The airship landed smoothly according to the instructions. There were already some airships parked on the tarmac, and family emblems could be seen hanging on some of them. Young men and women in bright dresses, surrounded by servants, disembarked from the airship and walked to the fountain square in front of the tarmac. They were aristocratic young men and ladies who came to attend the garden party. The Stan family's butler wore a gorgeous uniform and led a large number of servants to greet the guests in the square. The banquet had just begun.
Gu Hanhan put on gloves and a sunhat with big flowers, took Zheng Wenwen's arm, and pulled her down the spiral staircase together. It was mid-afternoon, and the sun was shining brightly through the emerald coconut palm forests on both sides. The azure seawater lapped at the white sandy beach, and the beauty seemed to return to the earth.
The butler of the Stan family came up with people and bowed to salute. Because they didn't see the family crest on the airship, and the group didn't take out the invitations, they couldn't help but carefully inquire about their origins.
Of course, this was not a problem for the dignified Attendant Gale. He was familiar with the job and found a small family affiliated with the Dulan family to install them. He described Gu Hanhan and Zheng Wenwen as young ladies from a branch of the family. As for the invitation, of course there is none. When they heard about the afternoon banquet of the newly arrived Stan family, the ladies came over to watch the fun on a whim.
The Stan family is a hero, and they will not refuse the uninvited guests from the nobles. They don't care whether the lack of invitations means that someone with ulterior motives sneaks into the manor to cause trouble. As soon as Gal announced his family name and casually flashed his badge, the butler showed a look of enlightenment and enthusiastically welcomed the group in.
The banquet was arranged in the garden in the southeast of the manor, with white parasols, long lounge chairs, a dessert table and a beautiful cake tower placed on the wide lawn. When Gu Hanhan and the others passed by, it was obvious that the formal banquet had not yet started, but there were already thirty or forty noble men and women on the lawn. They are all young, but they all wear luxurious dresses and pose in a reserved manner. They are either sitting, standing, or lying directly on the lawn, chatting, bickering, playing cards, smoking, and smoking like adults. Drinking, gambling, and teasing beautiful servants.
Gu Hanhan took a quick glance and found no one he knew. The energy sensor also determined that the only person with an energy field here besides himself was a Level 2 ability user. The second-level ability user should be responsible for serving as a guard. He was standing far away in the woods on the side of the lawn and did not participate in the banquet. As for the rest of the guests who came to the banquet, they were mostly people who had not awakened their superpowers at all, young nobles from superpower families wearing various secular titles.
