"My Lord Earl, dear guests, this scene was the welcome program I prepared for you. I hope it didn't frighten you!"
"As for the gadget that can make explosive noises, it is a brand-new plant pollen we discovered in the Fiery Forest some time ago. As long as it is put into a bamboo joint and ignited with fire, it will make a loud noise, but it
There is no harm to people, and the amount of pollen is very small, and it has just been used up in one go!"
Nalant felt everyone's gaze and explained seriously.
His explanation was of course nonsense. These were bamboo firecrackers he made out of boredom the past two days.
This firecracker was originally used to warm up the atmosphere during the bonfire night celebrations on the night of the Harvest Festival, and it was regarded as a good luck.
However, in order to shock the mission, Nalant had no choice but to use it now.
However, now that an elf insect worth a hundred gold coins has been exchanged, this transaction is not a loss.
"There is such magical pollen?"
"What a pity! If there were a lot of pollen like this, we could make bamboo joints that can make explosive noises in the future! Now think about it, the deafening sound is really exciting!"
None of the nobles had any doubts, after all, they had never seen this thing before.
The Fiery Forest is an unexplored primitive forest, so it is reasonable for some unknown species to appear.
In addition, after hearing that the amount of pollen was very small, it seemed that apart from making a loud noise, it would not cause any great harm to people, so everyone stopped paying attention.
"My Lord Earl, guests, the welcoming ceremony has been completed. Now please enter the inner castle. You have been running all the way. My castle has prepared guest rooms for everyone to rest!"
Seeing that everyone nodded in approval of his explanation, Nalant led everyone directly into the inner castle.
After entering the inner fort, those young heirs who originally wanted to find some comfort from the dilapidated scene of the inner fort were disappointed.
Because although the interior of Nalant's castle is a bit 'simple', both the corridors and the halls have been clearly renovated, and are no worse than their own castle.
What's more important is that although there are very few exquisite art decorations in the corridor, there are also luminous beads the size of peanuts inlaid every few meters.
It can be said that, except for the Earl's castle, no vassal's castle is as luxurious as Nalant's, even the corridors are decorated with luminous beads.
After all, even a luminous bead the size of a peanut still represents a gold coin.
This is just a corridor of tens of meters, and there are at least a dozen of them.
If Nalant really filled all the corridors with luminous beads, it would cost at least hundreds of gold coins. In terms of value, it would be equivalent to their family's castle.
"Nalant, did your Storm Territory produce magic sea clams?" While walking, the Earl naturally discovered this problem.
At this moment, the more he looked at Narant, the more satisfied he became. It was hard to believe that Narant could complete the repairs to the castle in just a few short months.
The other nobles didn't know much about it, but Bernard had heard the reports from his subordinates.
Since being breached several times by dark creatures, the Baron's Castle has suffered considerable damage. Even the gate seems to be in vain and can only be used to protect civilians.
But now that the Baron's Castle has become brand new, just this decoration will cost a lot of money, which is a big expense even for other established Baron families.
"Yes, Lord Earl, my coast is inhabited by luminous clams, otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford so many luminous beads!" Nalant answered truthfully.
"Well, what a lucky little guy! No wonder you refuse to change your territory!"
Bernard nodded and said nothing more after the compliment.
Subsequently, the group was arranged to the guest room under the guidance of Nalant and Thomas.
The guest rooms on the second floor are reserved for minor nobles, honorary nobles and their heirs.
Each guest room has two bedrooms and one living room. Although the area is not even half the size of the guest rooms in Tulip Castle, it is completely sufficient for temporary residence.
As for the few nobles such as Bernard, Stella, and his cheap father, Nalant arranged them on the third floor.
Because the rooms on the third floor are designed to be more luxurious and spacious than those on the second floor, the layout is almost the same as Nalant's bedroom.
The rooms on these three floors were originally intended for the lord himself and his family to live in.
But Nalant had no heirs, so he had always been idle, but this time he came in handy.
After sending Bernard to his guest room first, Nalant then looked at Stella.
"Miss Stella, I will take you to the guest room!"
Although Stella's guest room was right next door to Bernard's, in order to show respect, Nalant still had to lead him there in person.
"Excuse me, Sir Nalant!" Stella looked at Nalant with slightly complicated eyes and thanked him.
The firecrackers in the vestibule, not to mention other minor nobles, even shocked her.
In the past, she thought Nalant was just a slightly smarter and luckier second son of a nobleman.
But the more she came into contact with Nalant now, the more she found that she couldn't see through him, and felt that there was a mist about him.
Stella actually has a special talent since she was a child, that is, she can slightly see into everyone's mind.
Of course, this insightful statement is too general.
In fact, when getting along with others, she can be keenly aware of what others are thinking, and can detect whether others are kind or malicious toward her.
Having such a talent that is slightly stronger than others also makes Stella have great requirements for the friends she associates with.
She doesn't mind becoming friends with people who have good intentions.
But she would instinctively feel disgusted with people like the second prince who approached her with ulterior motives.
This is also the reason why Stella dislikes seeing the second prince so much.
This is why she is so cold and difficult to get along with.
"Wow! It smells so good!"
Nalant led Stella and Lina into the guest room prepared for them, and immediately a fragrance surrounded the three people's noses. It was a light apple-flavored perfume.

"Yeah! There are two bottles of perfume here!"
Smelling this refreshing and pleasant fragrance, Stella didn't behave well after entering the room.
But Lina's personal maid is different.
She no longer regarded Nalant as a stranger, so she relaxed a little and immediately let out a soft breath.
I was even more delighted when I saw two bottles of perfume in high-quality pink crystal bottles placed on the tea table in the guest room.
"Miss Stella, I specially prepared this perfume for you. I also asked the little maid Lilia to decorate the room. I hope you like it. If you need anything, you can always call Lilia to serve you later!"
"Thank you Sir Narante!"
After hearing this, Stella showed a rare smile and thanked Nalant.
It was obvious that she was very satisfied with Nalant's careful preparation.
"Then Miss Stella, I will arrange other things first! Lina will bring tea later, so you can have a good rest first!"
After saying that, Nalant was ready to leave. With so many nobles arriving, he still had a lot to arrange.
Even if he is a subordinate of these nobles, he still has to check on Mario's placement.
"Sir Nalant!" Just when Nalant was about to leave the room, Stella stopped him.
"Miss Stella, don't you know if there is anything else?"
"You can just call me Miss Stella from now on. There is no need to add the word you. I'm not that old yet!" Stella stared at Nalant with her beautiful sapphire blue eyes and said calmly.
"Uh...Okay, Miss Stella!"
Nalant thought that the aristocratic ladies in this world would not care about this, but it seems that he was mistaken.
Whether in the previous life or in this other world, girls always care about age!
