In order to welcome Count Cypler's visit, many bright flags were hung at Bucur Harbor, among which the manticore flag symbolizing Count Cypler's power was the most eye-catching.

After getting off the boat, Jiang Xiaotan and others were picked up in a gorgeous carriage and then drove to Bucur Castle.

The carriage drove smoothly on the gravel road, while Jiang Xiaotan opened the window and observed the city.

It has to be said that the civilization level of the Western Continent is much ahead of that of the Eastern Continent.

The buildings on the streets of Bukur are all neat and unique multi-story stone buildings. The appearance of these buildings is somewhat similar to the design style of the Zhuye Empire, but the Zhuye Empire is mostly black and red, while the Romanian buildings

They are mainly in light colors and are separated by wooden waist lines between layers. Each layer is painted in a different color of the same color, which looks distinct from a distance.

Occasionally there are wooden buildings, which are also based on lime walls. The window lattice and the decorative panels that strengthen the exterior wall structure all retain the original wood color. Because of the passage of time, the color of these wood has become darker, but it is very clean and has a simple elegance.

.

Moreover, according to the regional division of the city, the tiles of the buildings have different colors. For example, the buildings by the harbor are all orange-red tiles, while the commercial areas inside are all dark blue.

Moreover, the spirit of the citizens is much stronger than that of other countries in the Eastern Continent. Even the lower-level craftsmen wear neat clothes, and some slightly wealthy citizens wear silk and satin clothes without hesitation.

Jiang Xiaotan also quickly discovered that Romnia looked like a light-colored version of the Zhuye Empire.

The architectural style and popular clothing elements all have the shadow of Zhu Ye Empire, but the color scheme is the opposite of Zhu Ye Empire.

"Ah, that dress! It's the same as the one Kain wore first." Eveli pointed at a short-haired boy on the street and shouted.

Jiang Xiaotan followed her fingers and saw that the boy's clothes were almost the same style as the ones he wore before, but they were blue and white.

"That kind of clothing is considered a retro style in the Zhuye Empire." Margaret said, "The original fashion was also brought by Lord Kain."

"I still quite like that suit." Jiang Xiaotan said with regret.

That suit of clothes was very good in terms of comfort and convenience, but it was a pity that it was ruined by the slime of the giant carrion insect.

The clothes he is wearing now are a Cyprus-style dress with too many flashy decorations on it. It is very difficult to put on and take off. In order to put on this suit in the morning, Lei Lei and Linlin helped him toss for nearly an hour.

Hour.

However, Margaret likes this outfit very much because there are many Attica-style design elements in it. In her vague childhood memories, her father would wear such clothes when he had something to do.

To put it in a bad way, this is the popular style of Attica four hundred years ago.

During the conversation, the carriage had already driven up the mountain road. Bukur Castle is located on a mountain independent of the Bukur Port area, giving the impression of a panoramic view of the mountains.

Comparatively speaking, this castle is the least Zhuye Empire-style building in the entire Bukur area. The castle hidden among the green trees is composed of round turrets, without too many spiers, cornices and high arches.

Therefore, the aggressiveness of the castle is greatly reduced. It gives the impression that the lord here must be a gentle person.

In fact, this is also true. The Grand Duke Adrian here, the one Lei Lei arranged to be Jiang Xiaotan's half-brother, is a little fat man with a gentle personality. After inheriting the position of Grand Duke, he devoted himself to developing the economy of the territory.

Thanks to Adrian's people-friendly policies, although Romania has a small population, its people are very prosperous.

"Since this is a vassal state of the Zhuye Empire, is the Grand Duke of Romnia a vampire?"

Looking at the castle in the distance, Jiang Xiaotan suddenly asked.

"No, but we have a contract with Romnia. When the reigning Grand Duke of Romnia is about to expire, he can choose to become a vampire and move to the empire, and declare to the outside world that the Grand Duke is dead."

Jiang Xiaotan nodded after hearing this: "In other words, the father of the current Grand Duke has been transformed into a vampire?"

"Yes, not only that, his grandfather and great-grandfather are both vampires."

The successive rulers of Romnia now own a small territory in the Zhuye Empire, and what these old men love to do most is to help the little fat man make suggestions.

After all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Regarding the instructions of his ancestors, the little fat man can follow the good ones and change the bad ones. Therefore, his own power is guaranteed and there is no special pressure.

In the blink of an eye, the carriage had already entered the castle, and soldiers in uniform uniforms stood neatly on both sides of the road as support, which was quite impressive.

Finally, the carriage slowly stopped at the main entrance. A tall and thin woman walked up to the carriage and opened the door for Jiang Xiaotan and others.

"Your humble retinue, Camille would like to extend my most sincere respect to you, Lord True Ancestor." The tall and thin woman said in a voice as thin as an ant.

"Hmm." Jiang Xiaotan nodded.

Then Camille raised her voice and said loudly: "Camille, the Romanian court mage, would like to express my sincere respect to the Count of Cypler."

This is Camille's public identity, but her true identity is the special ambassador of the Zhuye Empire, responsible for liaison between Romnia and the empire, and completing transformation ceremonies for successive grand dukes.
