Chapter 172: Chapter 172 - 155: Clash at the Banquet

This "castle," built only in a few months, wasn't particularly attractive looking, even. Over a dozen handmade iron chandeliers hung from the ceiling, with magic powder mixed in the lamp oil, so the light burned softly and non-intrusively, like sunlight on snow.A thick red gold carpet stretched along the main aisle, with Red Tide Territory's red flag and the Calvin Clan's family crest banner hanging on the walls, colors stable yet noble.Most astonishing was the warmth within the hall; outside the cold wind cut like a knife, yet inside the castle it was gentle as spring.As the nobility removed their cloaks, they secretly marveled: "How did they achieve this here?"Joseph stood among the crowd, slightly looking up at the ceiling, secretly observing the design of a few air vents, and glancing at the edge of the carpet, trying to figure out the layout of the heat sources. But no matter how he looked, it didn't seem like something achievable with ordinary fireplaces."Interesting, it seems this young Lord is really willing to spend effort."
