I didn't even have time to try it before... Klein muttered, found the guard on duty at the general's mansion, and begged to see a man named Haggis.

Based on his Loenian appearance and gentlemanly attire, the guards didn't refuse or embarrass him. They divided one of them, went in and called out a man under thirty.

The man's facial features and skin color belonged to the standard Balam, but his slightly curly black hair was pulled straight and combed back neatly, as if he was imitating the upper-class figures of the countries in the Northern Continent.

He was wearing a white shirt, a black vest, and a very formal bow tie. As soon as he saw Dwayne Dant�s, he said in standard Loen language: "Good afternoon, I'm Haggis, it's an honor to meet you. "

His accent is a bit fast, and it is different from the language style of any area in Loen.

After all, Klein lived in the upper class for a while, so he was not surprised when he heard the words, and said with a slight smile, "Good afternoon, I'm Dawn Dant�s, I didn't expect to meet a gentleman here who is proficient in the Loen aristocratic accent." .�

Haggis couldn't hide his smile: "Many children from Loen noble families have come to East and West Balam to seek opportunities. I have the honor to learn languages ??from a few of them."

"Oh, maybe I know someone." Klein was not at all in a hurry to discuss business, and greeted the other party in a gentlemanly manner.

Haggis smiled and said, "My friend, Colonel Alfred Hall, is the second son of an earl."

Hall... Klein chuckled lightly and said, "I once met Earl Hall at a charity gala, and he is a true nobleman.

"It's such a small world."

Haggis nodded in agreement and said: "This may be an arrangement of fate. Unfortunately, Alfred was transferred to East Balam last year."

He didn't say any more, and immediately invited Dawn Dant�s into the general's mansion.

When passing through the side door, Klein suddenly raised his head and glanced at the various pieces of glass inlaid on the door frame.

Under the sunlight, those pieces of glass shone with different lights, as if one line of sight was moving.

Klein naturally withdrew his gaze, followed Haggis closely with a gold-encrusted cane, and entered the general's mansion.

The architectural style here does not have any characteristics of the Southern Continent. It does not control the lighting to make the interior look gloomy, nor does it boldly use a small amount of human bones for decoration, which gives people a strong sense of impact. On the contrary, it is more like the transplantation of a mansion in the Northern Continent, and there is something that cannot be erased. Intis colors to go:

Each pillar is covered with gold foil in sections, the murals on the wall are in warm colors, surrounded by gold sculptures, and the spiral and gorgeous staircase descends from a high place, running through all four floors, and falls in the center of the hall, facing the door. Very stylish.

It has to be said that the country dominated by the Church of the Eternal Sun is really at the forefront of the world in terms of gold art, and it does not feel like a nouveau riche at all... Klein glanced at the palm-sized golden angel flying obliquely from the stair railing and the middle of the pillar. Like, resisting the urge to reach out and touch her.

Looking at the guards standing on both sides, he randomly found a topic and said to Haggis: "Colonel Alfred Hall seems to have made achievements in West Balam?"

Haggis nodded sincerely, and said in that Loen aristocratic tone: "He is a resolute and brave man. He once led a special operations team of more than 30 people to surprise Ince's thousand-man army and completely defeated them. It is said that he has repeatedly made military exploits in East Balam, and became a colonel when he was only in his twenties."

It sounds very powerful... Ms. "Justice" might have become a Beyonder, and her sequence is not low... Well, in a big noble family, some members should take the path of Extraordinary every generation... Hehe, After this Mr. Alfred has gone through hardships and tribulations, finally achieved his goal, became a higher-order Extraordinary, obtained the rank of Brigadier General or Major General, and returned to Backlund, he might find sadly that even his own sister Even dogs can't beat it... Klein, who drank the potion before going out, used his stomach to adjust his mental state.

He didn't ask much about Alfred, but instead said in a puzzled tone: "I found that the customs of West Balam and East Balam are also somewhat different. Here, many houses have certain human bone decorations. , but East Balam did not.

"I have been here many times, and I have such a question a long time ago, but I have never had the nerve to raise it."

Haggis stopped, pointed to the pompous staircase opposite and said, "Mr. Dant�s, wait a few minutes, the general will come down soon."

After explaining the business, he laughed and said: "The custom of human bones is actually rare. Only the territories directly under the royal family during the Balam Empire kept this habit. For us, the death of relatives does not mean getting along with them. When it is completely over, before the burial, we will take a bone from their body and put it at home as a decoration to show that the dead are with the living.

"Which bone to choose is determined by the priest presiding over the funeral through the ceremony, and the skull is the best and most symbolic.

"Some families even make wine glasses from skulls, which are only used when entertaining the most distinguished guests.

"Mr. Dant�s, if a deal can be concluded this time, I would like to invite you to my house as a guest, and use my grandfather's skull to fill 'Phoenix wine' to pay respects."

... Klein's expression was almost dull, and he felt that he really couldn't do as the Romans did in this respect. JrNovels.com
