However, this so-called castle was different from Kang De’s impression.

He had thought that the castle here was like the ones on Earth. Compared to its residential use, it was more important for military use—it was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It had extremely high defense and could produce unique soldiers.

In any case, it was a medieval castle. It was dirty, dark, and damp, and it was hygienic. Rats ran rampant, and lice were everywhere. It smelled moldy all year round.

Kang De thought that the so-called Glory Sand Castle was like this.

This was also the reason why he was unwilling to get off the ship and live here.

As an Earthling, he had not been pampered since he was young, nor was his family rich. However, he was still a citizen of the city and had not lived a hard life. He had drifted to the other world and made a living on the Holy Seal Islands. Even if he lived in a cave, he had to cultivate that place into a home.

If he was asked to live in that kind of castle, he would naturally rather live on a ship.

However, in reality, that was not the case. This was not the kind of military fortress made of stone. Instead of calling it a castle, it was more like a manor. A rather beautiful one.

There were red bricks and white walls. The main building had a total of three floors with a steeple in the middle. The annex building was on both sides. In front of him was a flat manor. It occupied a vast area and was surrounded by walls. The tower had four corners, but the design was very ingenious. The military killing intent did not pale in comparison to this beautiful mansion. Instead, it appeared harmonious.

This castle was built against a mountain and surrounded by river water. It was in the town and the scenery was very good.

This place reminded Kang De of the?Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte?in France.

Beside him, Hong San was secretly looking at Kang De’s expression, as if observing his reaction when he saw this beautiful manor. At this moment, he said, “Master, this place is not bad, right?”

Kang De looked at him with a faint smile, “The green mountain faces the north, and the clean water wraps around the east city. After bidding farewell to this place, there is only loneliness for ten thousand miles. The clouds wander in the sky and the sun sets on the horizon.”

The Cathayan was shocked and opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say.

Seeing him like this, Kang De laughed, “Alright, forget it. There’s no need to reply… What a way to ruin my mood.”

“What is Mr. Kang De talking about?”

Viscount Samuel walked over from the side. As the head of the Goode family, he was the center of the entire viscounty. Everyone could not help but look at his words and actions. He arrived beside Kang De.

“Viscount.” Kang De nodded in greeting. “I praised your beautiful residence.”

However, there was no admiration on his face. He looked calm.

The Viscount observed his expression and smiled when he heard this, “You’re too polite. Glory Sand is a rural place. You’re an honored guest from the east. In your eyes, this small manor is probably too humble.”

Seeing such etiquette, Kang De politely flattered him in return.

“It doesn’t depend on how many precious materials it uses or how long its history and beautiful design are to determine if a mansion is luxurious or magnificent. Instead, it depends on who lives in it. If a despicable and sinister person lives in the dazzling castle, this castle also emits a stench. If a Saint lives in a simple house, this house will also emit a fragrance.”

He chuckled and said, “The wise and elegant Viscount Samuel lives in this castle, as well as your noble children. Just based on this, this manor is nothing but beautiful. The polite one is you, Viscount.”

As it turned out, not only could Earthlings who lived on the Internet curse, but they could also speak sweetly.

This praise was really too comfortable. Not only did Viscount Samuel reveal a surprised and surprised smile, but even Hannah and Lynch, who were beside their father, revealed surprised gazes.

Their gazes at Kang De softened.

One should not slap a smiling person. This saying was also applicable on the continent.

If Viscount Samuel was being polite before, he was really a little friendlier now.

He smiled and said, “Thank you for your praise. I know that the Glory Sand Castle will become even more noble and glorious today because a few noble guests will stay here and add to the glory of this place.”

He took two steps back and bowed to Kang De and Tina. Then, he said to the butler beside him, “Play music and welcome the distinguished guests from Cathay and Goethe.”

Therefore, melodious music sounded.

The viscount actually had an orchestra—the town’s troupe.

Logically speaking, it was a little unpleasant.

Firstly, it was because Kang De was used to listening to all kinds of music from the entertainment era on Earth. How could he listen to such monotonous music? Moreover, how brilliant could an orchestra in a viscounty be?

Kang De could only smile awkwardly but politely.

Viscount Samuel did his best to receive them after all.

All the family members and servants in the entire castle were already waiting outside. Leading them was a gorgeously dressed noblewoman. The footmen, maids, and guards were all lined up to welcome her. There were many of them. Kang De’s gaze patrolled the line of maids before he looked away, thinking that a small place was a small place.

Was this even worthy of being called a maid outfit?!

This world needed to improve!

He followed Tina and walked down the long corridor under the bow of the servants until he reached the door of the main building. He watched as Tina and the noblewoman bowed to each other. This noblewoman was the Viscountess. Samuel introduced Kang De to her.

Kang De bowed slightly, and the noblewoman returned the greeting elegantly.

After a short welcome ceremony, the next step was to arrange for accommodation.

Viscount Samuel actually personally led Kang De to his room.

“Mr. Kang De, the Goode family and the Tedrell family are friends. Tina has also been a guest at my house. There’s no need to pay too much attention to etiquette.”

Viscount Samuel said sincerely, “But you’re different. The first time you visited Glory Sand, something unpleasant happened at the dock. This makes me feel deeply guilty. I really don’t know how to express my apology. I hope you can have an unforgettable experience in Glory Sand.”

“Hong San will serve you as your servant. I’ve also given the order that the servants of the entire manor will follow your request. If you have any needs or doubts, you can find anyone to express your request at any time, including me… The butler and the head maid will choose the most capable maid to serve you in your daily life.”

His courtesy made Kang De a little uncomfortable. He smiled. “Thank you.”

The Viscount emphasized again, “If you have any requests, you can say them at any time. Now, I won’t disturb your rest. You can walk around and tour the town, or you can rest first. At night, Glory Sand will hold a banquet to welcome guests who have come from afar.”

He personally pushed open the door for Kang De and bowed again before leaving.

When he left, Hong San bowed deeply to see him off. The Viscount glanced at him, and the Cathayan lowered his body even more. The two of them did not speak.

The captain and the others were arranged to be in the annex building. Tina’s room was also on the third floor of the main building. She was accompanied by Head Maid Bedolla and could hear voices. She seemed to be chatting with Hannah. The knight’s room was also on the third floor, led by Knight Lost, Viscount Samuel’s eldest son. Here, they all had their own social circle and friends.

Kang De walked into the room. It was neat enough and large enough. The smell of flowers floated in the air, and the bedding was brand new. There were oil paintings on the wall and a vase in the corner. There were fresh and tender fruits on the table. They were very good.

Hong San followed in and looked around enviously, “D*mn, I’m really lucky to be serving you today. So the bedrooms of esteemed guests are all like this… Master, the Viscount thinks very highly of you.”

Kang De said indifferently, “Oh.”

He casually sized up the room and looked away without interest.

Although it was new, it was not surprising.

Hong San carefully praised, “It’s true. Your answer to the Viscount earlier was amazing. You’re a dragon among men. You must be very famous in the Eastern Lands. May I know where your immortal village is? I wonder if you’re from the north or the south?”
