Looking at the majestic and tall castle, there is a sense of awe in Ji Ran's heart, especially the lifelike flying lion on the city emblem, which makes this tall castle a little more majestic.

Ji Ran sat in the carriage and followed Xiao Zhan into the castle.

Crossing a winding path, the carriage entered the interior of the castle.

After entering the castle, Ji Ran felt that the interior of the castle was a little crowded, the roads were generally narrow, and the surrounding walls were tall, giving people a feeling of "small family".

"Why don't you make the road wider in the castle? If it's so narrow, it looks so stingy. Ji Ran asked Xiao Zhan beside him.

"This is a castle, not a street market, the wider the market is naturally the better, convenient for merchants to do business, but also to increase the flow of customers, but this is the lord's private residence, safety must be the priority, the narrower the road, the more difficult it is when the other side attacks, don't you see that there are towers and arrow towers everywhere?" Xiao Zhan pointed to the arrow towers that could be seen everywhere outside the window and said.

After Xiao Zhan's explanation, Ji Ran nodded suddenly, "So that's the case?" ”

The carriage crossed the narrow road and came to a relatively spacious open space, Ji Ran and Xiao Zhan got out of the car, and under the leadership of the butler, they entered the castle.

Once you enter the castle, everything suddenly becomes clear, the large hall and the splendid decoration make it look like a royal palace.

After passing through the hall, Ji Ran and Xiao Zhan ascended the spiral tower from the left and right directions respectively, and passed through the slender corridor from the tower before finally entering a more spacious hall.

At this time, the lord of the city, Becal@Druis, was waiting there.

"Lord Becar, excuse me." Xiao Zhan stepped forward and said politely.

"Lord Xiao is polite, please take a seat." The city lord Bekal asked Xiao Zhan to sit down, while Ji Ran sat next to Xiao Zhan in the lower position.

After the three of them sat down, Bekal and Xiao Zhan talked about it, but they didn't talk about any practical issues, but about the ups and downs, as well as some new things on the mainland.

Ji Ran sat next to him and listened silently, but he didn't feel that this Bekal City Lord was so profound, and he didn't talk much different from the people in the market.

And Xiao Zhan also talked freely, like two old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they had a good conversation with the city lord of Bekal.

As the two chatted, the topic naturally shifted to women, who seemed to be topics that men would never avoid and were always full of interest.

From women's cosmetics and popular clothing styles, they talked about the most beautiful female dancers and friars at the moment, and then the topic gradually shifted to Ji Ran.

In fact, since Ji Ran appeared, Bekar has been deeply attracted by Ji Ran, I have to say that Ji Ran is indeed very beautiful, even if Bekar is a well-informed nobleman, when he sees Ji Ran, he will have a feeling of being unwilling.

Of course, Bekar knew that Ji Ran was Xiao Zhan's person, and when he looked at her, he was a little less rude and a little more respectful.

Just symbolically asked, "Who is this beautiful lady?" ”

"Oh, this is my wife Ji Ran, from the ancient Eastern Continent." Xiao Zhan introduced very casually, and when he introduced Ji Ran, he also held Ji Ran's soft little hand very casually.

When Ji Ran heard Xiao Zhan's introduction, he was stunned for a moment, when will I become your wife?

However, she clearly felt the subtle strength coming from Xiao Zhan's palm, which seemed to hint at something, so she didn't react excessively, and smiled politely at Becar, acquiescing to this identity.

"It turned out to be Mrs. Zun, what a rare beauty." Becar said with a smile, his praise for Ji Ran was beyond words.

"Your Excellency has won the prize." Xiao Zhan said modestly with a smile.

"I used to hear from merchants that the Oriental Continent is full of beautiful women, and there are flowers and gold everywhere, but when I saw Miss Ji Ran today, it must be a beautiful place like heaven, right?" Becar asked with a smile.

"It's okay, it's as prosperous as you are here, my lord." Ji Ran said with a smile and implicitly.

Hearing Ji Ran's answer, Bekar laughed, this beauty is not only beautiful, but also has a flexible head, this ingenious answer, not only praised her hometown, but also praised the Kent County under Bekar's rule, it is really the perfect answer of the best of both worlds.

The three of them chatted for a while in the living room, and the city lord of Bekal suddenly looked at the sky, the sun was already setting in the west, and dusk was coming.

"Lord Shaw, there's nothing to praise in Kent, but the delicious wine is enough to entertain the honorable dignitaries, shall we go and have a drink together?" Bekar warmly invited Xiao Zhandao.

"Thanks to the love of adults, then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." Xiao Zhan thanked him with a smile and took Ji Ran to the banquet hall.

At this time, the banquet hall had been basically arranged, and there were already many nobles in the hall, most of these nobles were local aristocrats in Kent, most of them had their own fiefdoms in Kent, and had good offerings, of course, there were also many merchants who came and went to Kent, and some of the more famous nouveau riche.

Xiao Zhan was treated as a VIP by Bekal and was invited to sit directly next to Bekal as a sign of respect.

Ji Ran was placed next to Madame Becar, a beautiful middle-aged woman, and the other nobles were seated in turn according to their titles.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Bekal asked the nobles in the city to show their talents, and at the same time sent gifts to Xiao Zhan and Ji Ran, the degree of enthusiasm was beyond imagination.

And the gifts prepared by these nobles are also very exquisite, and there are even more expensive gifts, Ji Ran and Xiao Zhan also expressed their gratitude to these nobles one by one.

After giving the gift, the lord of Bekal also announced in public that he had awarded Xiao Zhan the title of the most popular VIP in Kent City, which won the warm congratulations of everyone present, which is also the highest honorary title for foreign guests in Kent.

At the same time, Becar's wife, Meria, also conferred the title of the most beautiful lady in Kent, of course, here the young lady is a young and noble woman, without the slightest derogatory connotation.

After Ji Ran accepted Meria's garland, he suddenly felt a little nervous in his heart, was it just because Xiao Zhan auctioned a lot of things in the auction house that the other party entertained us so warmly?

Although it is true that the auction house has to pay a part of the profits to the city lord, this is an auction practice, no matter which city it is, it is the same, and the city lord can't be guilty of treating Xiao Zhan with special courtesy because of this, right?
