StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 102 Little Nova
The Sky Tower of the Tagore family is the tallest building in Tarsonis City, with more than 150 floors. Even the Kusinis Sky Tower is a head shorter than it.The Sky Tower of the Mengsk family was nothing more than a dwarf tree at the giant's feet.

This majestic sky tower was the first tall building in Tarsonis, originally built from the colonial motherships that brought the ancestors of the Tyranids here.There are rumors that the main engine of the colonial mothership is still buried under the Tagore Sky Tower, pumping out fuel and electricity like the heart of the giant dragon of Tarsonis.

"Keep your head up, Jim. Don't think of yourself as an uninformed redneck. Be confident."

Augustus was standing in front of the bronze gate of the Tagore Sky Tower, speaking to Jim Raynor who was about to follow him into the red-carpeted Tagore Bird Hall.

There were about twenty private guards at the gate, armed marines, and registration officers in full uniform.

"No, I'm very confident." Renault repeatedly adjusted the position of his expensive white silk tie, but he still felt that the rented tuxedo was a bit small.No matter what others say, in Renault's eyes, he looks like a fat penguin.

Because Augustus was suddenly told that he could only bring one officer of the Demon of Heaven to the banquet, Renault, who had the rank of corporal, became the lucky one.

"But the damn clothes are strangling me," Renault complained.

Augustus and Renault were supposed to be wearing military uniforms with medals hanging on their chests and ribbons today, but the steward of the Tagore family told them that the mistress of the family did not want to see a group of soldiers at her birthday party, so they You have to dress up like a nobleman to get in.

Not only Augustus’ Demon of Heaven, but also many aristocratic officers and generals who shined in the Battle of Kailian will also be invited, and the pictures of them appearing in the same frame with the members of the founding family will appear in major newspapers and periodicals on that day and on the IAA holographic projection screen.

Perhaps, Augustus guessed that this picture will be modified later, such as changing them into military uniforms through some simple technical means.

"Why don't you let that 'tailor' make some changes?" Augustus laughed and walked forward.

"What, you just want to see my belly button exposed?" Renault followed Augustus angrily.

Augustus handed over a richly decorated invitation letter, and walked into the magnificent hall after passing a series of security checks including retinal scans.

In order to highlight the status of the nobility and the difference from those nouveau riche, the Tagore family still followed the court etiquette of the French court in the 17th to 19th centuries on the medieval earth and the unreasonable red tape in Renault's view.

The Tagore Sky Tower is resplendent like a royal palace. The walls and columns are inlaid with gold, stone and jasper. Huge oil paintings and crystal chandeliers are hung. The wide corridors lead to more halls.Artworks and mirrors made of gold and silver are displayed on both sides, shining in the light of countless candles.

The guests here are all dressed in gowns, while the women are dressed in luxurious and complicated clothes. The long skirts on the floor are held up by the servants, like a closed peacock tail.These ladies are reserved, elegant and beautiful, their facial features perfectly fit the golden ratio, their skin is as white and smooth as milk, and their postures are charming.

"It's a good thing that villain Tychus didn't come, otherwise he would have stripped naked and danced here." Raynor said happily.

"Tychus can't do anything like that. He'd be an English gentleman... if he'd been trained that way," Augustus said.

There are far more servants than the distinguished guests of the Tagore family. There are hundreds of them, either standing by or walking back and forth in the vast corridors and halls with elegant steps.These servants are all of outstanding appearance and posture, dressed in well-cut uniforms, and neither word nor action is frivolous or impetuous.

"I heard that the homes of the great nobles are full of mechanical servants, this is really human-like," Renault said to Augustus in a low voice.

"This is obviously a real person." Augustus was walking slowly on the red carpet, and the rented black dovetail suit fit him exceptionally well, as if it had been tailor-made.

"The most prominent and oldest founding families employ servants instead of machines. Only the new aristocrats who made their fortunes through fringe trade and opportunism will use cheap machine servants, because they cannot find competent stewards and servants." Ou Gusdu said and smiled at a noble girl who was looking at him, and the other party blushed immediately.

"The main banquet hall is on the top floor. Let's take the magnetic elevator."

"The girl smiled at me." Renault also smiled.

"Maybe you should talk to her a little more." Augustus tugged Reno so that he wouldn't jump up in place.They spoke in low voices and seemed to admire rather than point at the crowd.

"My mother told me that men who show mercy are shit." Renault shook his head incredulously.

"Like you." Augustus turned around a corridor and walked to the elevator door.There are very few people waiting here, because only the creation family and the nobles who have business contacts and marriage relations with the Tagore family can go to the top floor.

"My intuition tells me that you are the kind of person. People in our town always say that the private lives of the nobles are very chaotic, and that the big families are forcibly combined by political marriages, so the husband and wife do not love each other. Just make sure that the future generations Genes and blood, nobles will even have sex with servants and vagabonds." Renault said quietly.

"Do you think the Mengsk family is like this?" Augustus was a little unhappy.

"Of course not. But the old people are always right." Renault shook his head.

While waiting for the elevator, Augustus noticed that the nobles of Tarsonis paid more attention to the emblems and appearances that symbolized the family than Korhal IV's. The style of the skirt is exactly the same.Some people brought children, and those children were dressed like princesses or princes.

In this era of rapid technological development, the aesthetics of nobles still seem to be stuck in centuries ago.

"When you reach the top floor, try to say as little as possible, otherwise those people will think you are uneducated." Augustus reminded Renault.

"I try to eat as much as possible," Raynor replied.

As Augustus boarded the elevator, a noble family stepped up with them.Augustus spoke decently with the parents of this family for a while, and learned that they came from the eastern continent of Tarsonis, and the family business mainly operated high-energy gas and oil refineries.

After learning that Augustus was from Keha IV, the middle-aged man with an elegant mustache just smiled.But when Augustus said his surname, Mengsk, the other party took two small steps back, opened the distance, and showed an embarrassed smile at the same time.

Seeing him like this, Augustus was not surprised, just smiled and wished him good health.

The elevator ascended steadily with a vibration as light as mosquitoes and flies. When the elevators opened slowly, Augustus saw the dark blue sky of Tarsonis and the clouds in the evening. Shining meteors streaked across the sky from time to time. That is a spacecraft that enters the atmosphere from a synchronous orbit.

The dome on the top floor of the Tagore Sky Tower is the sky, the curved walls are carved with flowers, and the dining table is made of the extinct Tyrador joy wood.In the shining silverware are all kinds of exotic exotic fruits and French meals cooked with expensive ingredients, and the rich aroma comes from the precious spices of Josala.

There are about a few hundred nobles here, and the men's clothes are much more plain, while the wives and ladies try their best to make themselves the focus of the audience.

Nearly half an hour before the banquet started, the representatives of the small and medium nobles were chatting, while the founding family sat in their seats like an emperor and chatted plainly with their partners or competitors.

As soon as he got off the elevator, the nobleman who had had a good chat with Augustus immediately ran away, as if he was afraid that he might break his neck at any time.

Augustus didn't care much, and he and Renault went straight to their seats.

The protagonist of the banquet, today's birthday star, Andrea Tagore, who is already 140 years old, has not yet arrived. From time to time, servants regularly replace the cups and plates on the table and replace them with new ones, even if the guests have not drunk a cup or touched a plate. .

Raynor felt a pang of anger, but he restrained himself well.If it was Harnack, he would have grabbed a nobleman's tie and asked why Shiloh's people are still starving while you are here enjoying yourself.

While Augustus was waiting for the protagonist of the banquet to arrive, in the seat of the Creation Family, several young girls gathered together suddenly whispered, and the boys cast hostile and jealous eyes.

Augustus Mengsk, who was less than 19 years old, was already famous in half of the Tyrannian Federation.He was billed as a hero, the most distinguished of the generation of the founding family.The documentary about Augustus and the Devil in Paradise has been released for two weeks, and he is regarded as an idol by many young people.

It is reported that people from UNN Film and Television even want to make a movie, but the actor is not necessarily the same person, and no one knows how the screenwriter will write it.

"Jim, look who it is." At this moment, Augustus only saw a burly man in a white dress: "Edmund Duke, next to him may be his brother."

The gown looked incongruous on Duke, and despite the designer's best efforts, he still looked more like a strong silverback than a modest nobleman.

"I knew that bastard would come." Renault looked at Duke who was chatting with another nobleman and said, "Look, I bet he will make a fool of himself today."

After a little noise, several noble girls from the creation family stood up from their seats and walked towards Augustus.

"Are you Augustus Mengsk, the man who killed a thousand Kel-Morians?" The first to speak was a girl with long dark brown hair, like many girls here, Her hair is coiled up rather than loose.

"I'm Augustus Mengsk, but I haven't killed that many people." Augustus stood up and said.

"Really?" The aristocratic girl looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old. She was wearing a dark blue low-cut evening dress with a strapless back. Against the backdrop of the dress, her upturned buttocks and chest were quite attractive. Attention.

"Then you captured a Kel-Morian Labor Auxiliary Company by yourself, shot and killed the enemy commander from a distance of two thousand yards, brought the demon of heaven down from the sky, and saved thousands of people?"

“We usually refer to this as artistic touch-ups and touch-ups,” Augustus says with a laugh.

"You should be the eldest daughter of the Tyra family, Miss Clara Annabella Tyra, you have already heard about your beauty."

"You" Clara had a shy look on her face, she was indeed very beautiful.But Augustus knew that unless a noble lady of this age was really a natural beauty, she had already undergone more or less facial laser correction surgery.

"I'm Linno d'Arbanwells, General Augustus." A noble girl squeezed Clara away, her light golden wavy long hair shining like gold under the gradually brightening lights. Guang Guang: "Can I invite you to my house?"

"I think." Augustus was about to agree, when another girl came up to him and said, "the parties in D'Arban Wells are always going on, Mr. Augustus, we can take to Olsen on a private yacht."

"Oh! Damn it! Why did I come to this place?" Renault took a stack of sliced ​​flat strawberries from the dinner plate and chewed them hard.

Renault found that Augustus's handsome appearance and military aura were fatally attractive to girls of this age.But Augustus was always able to please others naturally, while Renault seemed much rustier in this respect.

Many of the officers who came to the banquet were from minor noble families, or were not handsome and were older, but only Augustus was young and attractive.

More noble ladies gathered around Augustus. The young girl with bright eyes and white teeth and musky perfume made him overwhelmed. Unknowingly, he had already agreed to many invitations.

When an impatient noble young master stood up and wanted to walk towards Augustus, he realized that being too popular didn't seem like a good thing.

Looking at Raynor, the malevolent celestial demon gave him a thumbs up, but it didn't look like encouragement.

Just like what Lisa Keshidi said to Augustus, the demons of heaven seem to want Augustus to marry a rich noble lady, so that she can inherit her family property, so that the revolutionary army can have funds to operate up.

very nice.

"Girls, get to your seats. Clara, you have to lead the way." At this time, a lady in a blue evening dress helped Augustus.Although they seemed to want to have a few more words with Augustus, the girls sighed softly and returned to their seats.

When Augustus looked at the noble lady, he found that there was a child hidden behind her wide long skirt. A little girl with a golden ponytail poked her head out from behind her mother's long skirt, wearing a light green After looking at him with both eyes, he shrank back.

"The heir of the Khammonsk family, Augustus." Annabella Terra has tanned skin and a perfect hourglass figure. She looked at Augustus for a while, and seemed to like him interested.

"After Andrea's birthday party is over, maybe we can find a coffee shop for a cup of coffee. It's alone."

What kind of nonsense is this?
Of course, Augustus didn't know that Annabella Terra, the mistress of the Terra family in her thirties, liked to keep young lovers, because such men could often play many more exciting tricks.

At this time, Little Nova poked her head out again, her cute little nose wrinkled, showing a disdainful expression, and a black line seemed to cover her smooth forehead.

When Augustus noticed her, they just looked at each other.
