Master of Thermodynamics

The two attendants carried a magic stone lamp and walked cautiously in front of Renault to guide him.

The blazing light dispelled the darkness in the long passage, and also projected the figures of the three people on the stone wall, forming strange patterns. The three people's footsteps landed on the soft carpet, making subtle and regular rubbing sounds.

This voice could not be heard by ordinary people at all, but Renault could hear it clearly.

"Thunder Eagle" Duke Castro's castle is very luxuriously decorated, which can be seen from the 60-meter-long passage at the foot.

The entire passage is covered with a layer of linen carpet, and this is only a passage. Renault believes that there must be a lot of carpets in other places in the Duke’s castle.

The purchase cost of these carpets alone is not a small amount of money, and the carpets also need regular maintenance, such as cleaning and drying.

This is very necessary, otherwise the air will become very humid after the rainy season, and linen carpets are prone to mold when they are severely damp.

If a guest who came to visit the Duke and smelled a musty smell when they walked into the castle, wouldn't it be a secret mockery for the Duke?

Therefore, the Duke needs to hire servants to take care of the carpets.

Taking into account that in daily use, carpets will inevitably wear out, and new carpets must be replaced every few years.

In other words, in order to maintain the dignity of the nobility, the Duke needs a considerable expenditure only on the carpet.

Thinking of this, Renault couldn't help but shook his head slightly.

In his opinion, living in a castle is actually a very stupid choice.

This antique-like stone house looks decent, but it is dark and humid all year round, with very poor ventilation and lighting. The north-south transparency, separation of dry and wet, dynamic and static separation, and poor living comfort.

Take the passage in front of you as an example. Since it was built inside the castle, magic stone lamps must be used to illuminate it even in broad daylight. The air inside is quite dull, with an indescribable stale atmosphere.

The maintenance cost of the castle is also extremely high. Renault estimates that the maintenance cost the Duke of Castro spends on the castle every year is probably no less than 1,000 Kinnars.

As for the defense function of the castle, it is not as powerful as imagined. With the advancement of military technology and more and more siege methods, the castle is no longer an unbreakable symbol.

As a traverser accustomed to the modern living environment, Renault didn't want to live in such a pile of broken rocks after killing him.

But the nobles did not think so.

In another world, the castle is the most compelling mansion, especially the real nobles with territories. Whoever does not have a 3 or 5 storey high castle with hundreds of rooms in his home is embarrassed to greet other nobles.

This is the typical death to face and suffer.

After exiting the passage, one of the attendants turned his head and said softly:

"Your Excellency Renault, in front of you is the Duke's living room, please wait a while inside, the Duke will come to see you soon..."

After introducing Renault to the gorgeously decorated reception room, one of the attendants bowed and left, and went to report to the Duke, while the other attendant stayed here, responding to any request from Renault at any time.

The purpose of Renault's visit to the Duke of Castro this time is to continue the life of the Thousand Lakes Kingdom, that is, to "connect the Loeb River and the Nassau River and expand the Nassau Wetlands". Tell the Duke.

His method of visiting is very simple and rude, and also very high-profile.

After arriving at Leiyun Castle, the servant flew all the way from the gate of the city to outside the gate of the Duke’s Castle under the gaze of the civilians in the city, and directly asked the guards guarding the castle to "see the Duke".

Then Renault quickly got a response-the Duke of Castro will see him in 15 minutes.

As the rarest and most powerful of the supernatural, Renault is inherently superior to other superhumans. Even the high-powered Duke of Castro, who is in charge of tens of thousands of troops, also Will look at him high.

Especially when the war is about to break out, the importance of the extraordinary wind system is greater than usual. Any extraordinary wind system is an all-weather humanoid reconnaissance plane that can easily spot the enemy's movements.

The military significance of this point cannot be overemphasized no matter how much it is emphasized.

This is why the black skins regard the magic eye as a treasure.

Therefore, for a kingdom, the wind system superhumans are not only high-end combat power, they are more strategically significant.

To describe it in one sentence: Every person with extraordinary wind is a key weapon of the country.

That's how cool and handsome!

In the entire human world, there are no more than 20 wind-type transcendents, and it is evenly spread across the 5 remaining human kingdoms, with an average of less than 4 in each kingdom.

Although the number of extraordinary winds in the Thousand Lake Kingdom exceeds the average, there are only 4 people. They either serve for the royal legion or follow the stronger Upaniers.

Even the duke with the highest title can hardly attract extraordinary winds.

In the army commanded by the Duke of Castro, there is not a single extraordinary wind system.

Because of this, when the Duke heard that an extraordinary person of the Wind Element had come to the door automatically, he did not hesitate to leave the business he was dealing with and expressed his willingness to see Renault.

Even if the hope of winning each other is very slim, it's good for everyone to see the other side first and make a good relationship.

What if you use this relationship someday?

The so-called "after 15 minutes" is more of a reserved instinct of the great aristocracy.

If you act too eagerly, will you be underestimated by the other party?

The duke also wants to face...

Change to be an ordinary transcendent, and take the liberty to come directly to see the Duke, haha, I'm sorry, Lord Duke is very busy now, I don't have time to see you.

However, you are extraordinary, not a cat or dog, and you are qualified to see the Duke.

Well, you can make an appointment first, well, please come back the day after tomorrow...

After all, although there are few transcendents, there are more than 200 in the Thousand Lake Kingdom. This number is not small, and the entire kingdom has only 8 dukes, which is only a fraction of the number of transcendents.

It goes without saying that whose status is higher.

Renault only waited 7 or 8 minutes in the reception room before he heard footsteps outside the door.

Then the door was opened by two attendants, and two gorgeously dressed men walked into the reception room, and at the same time an enthusiastic voice sounded.

"Your Excellency Renault, welcome to Leiyunbao, if there is any negligence, please forgive me..."

Renault stood up immediately, turned his head and looked over.

The leading man had a rather old face, wrinkles on his face, and gray hair. He was wearing a straight military uniform, standing tall, and looking quite majestic.

Obviously he is the famous "Thunder Eagle", the Duke of Castro.

The other person was a middle-aged man who also wore the same style of military uniform. Renault felt a kind of extremely faint fluctuation from him.

This is the wave of elemental power.

He is extraordinary.

Renault bowed slightly, smiled and said:

"Your Excellency, you are too polite. I took the liberty to visit you this time. There is a very important thing..."
