Chapter 58

On the way back, Lord Marshall and Abel went to Mathew castle first. Since then, the territory around Mathew castle has belonged to Abel.

This piece of land bordering on knight Bennet's collar in the East, the middle part of Knight Harry's collar in the west, as much as 100 miles, as well as everything in Matthew's castle, has lost its owner because all the heirs of Matthew's family have died. It was granted to Abel by the Principality, and Abel can hold a crest. The design of the crest can start now, but we have to wait until we go to Gangba city After attending the medal ceremony, it will be submitted to the noble management department for final examination and approval, and then sent to all noble management departments in the whole continent for filing.

When the carriage came to the gate of Mathew castle, the steward Ken had been waiting at the gate. Behind him stood several bodyguards and a group of servants. All the eyes were full of confusion about the future fate. Since all the members of Mathew family were killed, these people were waiting for the decision of the Principality.

Yesterday, the city Lord's office has sent people to announce that Lord Matthew will be changed to Lord Abel from now on. The castle and everything in the land will belong to Lord Abel, and the castle will be changed into a new master. These servants, bodyguards and even housekeepers who live in the castle are worried that the new master will drive them out of the castle.

Instead of getting off first, Lord Marshall said to Abel, "this is your castle. You can meet them first."

Abel smiled and said: "this land is the land of the Harry family. Although it will have two arms, it will always belong to the Harry family."

In this world, the Lord of every noble territory, regardless of the size of the territory, will have a crest. When the territory is lost, the crest will be taken back. Every noble must learn about the crest and know all the crest.

Those nobles who have no territory are respected as the nobles, but those who have no territory and no heraldry are born inferior to the nobles.

Abel now has a crest, and as the successor of Lord Marshall, he will have another crest. When Abel has his own children, two of them can inherit the crest, territory and title.

The smile on Lord Marshall's face was even bigger. Abel was his adopted son and the son of his best brother. Abel had clearly defined the territory as the territory of the Harry family, making him happy for 12 points.

The coachman opened the door, and Abel first stepped out of the carriage. The housekeeper Ken stepped forward and bowed to Abel, saying, "dear Lord Abel, welcome to your castle."

"Ken, nice to see you again." Abel continued with a smile: "show me the castle. I can't wait any longer."

"It's my pleasure!"

The steward Ken then saw Lord Marshall get off the carriage and quickly bowed: "dear Lord Marshall."

Lord Marshall waved, smiled and turned to Abel and said, "let's see this castle. Matthew didn't invite me."

Hearing Lord Marshall's words, Butler Ken didn't answer, because Lord Matthew didn't have much contact with Lord Marshall before, and some looked down upon Lord Marshall as a knight at that time, while Butler Ken didn't cater to the former master's affairs because he faced the New Castle master.

Abel has a very good impression on Ken, the butler. He appreciates Ken's present attitude.

It was dark when Matthew castle was rescued the other day. Some buildings in the castle were burned. Abel found today that everything in the castle had been recovered. Because the castle was built of boulders, the fire did not burn the house. It can be seen that the servants worked hard these days. Besides the external walls, there were some traces of the fire, which could not be seen that day The disaster of.

Looking at Abel's looking at the castle, he was satisfied with his face. He could not help but feel refreshed. These days, his efforts have been recognized by the new owner. He introduced the castle with a more humble voice. When Abel looked inside the castle, he said to Abel, "dear Lord Abel, all the property here has not been moved. The city Lord's office requires that all the property be sealed up. When you arrive It will be checked and accepted by you. "

Abel understood that this was the kindness of the Lord of the city, the Viscount Dickens, to himself. As the Lord of a big city, he didn't pay attention to the property of a Lord. It was a very cost-effective thing for him to use these to make Abel happy.

In the warehouse, Abel saw several huge wooden boxes made of iron and wood. On the boxes were the seals of the city Lord's residence. He didn't look at them carefully. He turned directly to Ken and said, "Ken, can I trust you?"

Hearing Abel's words, Ken knelt down on one knee and said solemnly, "yes, Lord Abel, I give you my loyalty!"

"I accept your loyalty. You are the steward of my castle. We will be a family in the future." And Abel stretched out his hand, and lifted up Ken, and said.

"Thank you, master!" Ken was already in tears. He thought he was going to lose everything. Now he got it again.

"You are in charge of the servants and bodyguards. Who are willing to stay, who want to leave, and who can stay? You will see to it. Those who leave each have five gold coins, which is the severance payment I gave Lord Matthew for them." Abel doesn't want to worry about the trivial things in the castle. It's the right choice to leave the professional things to the professional people."Master, I will arrange these things and report the final result to you." Ken is very grateful for Abel's trust. The relationship between housekeeper and master in the world is very close. If you can get a position of housekeeper, you will live with the master all your life. As a manager next to the master in the castle, this position is very high. In addition, working for such a young nobleman and blacksmith master, the future is bright.

Lord Marshall was watching Abel deal with these things and didn't speak. This is Abel's castle. He didn't want to interfere in the affairs of Abel's castle. At this point, he was very clear. At the same time, he appreciated Abel's ability to deal with things and was happy that Abel could find a suitable housekeeper.

When several people came into the study, Ken took a wooden box from the bookshelf and said, "there is a secret room here. The way to open it is in this box. I'll avoid it first."

"Uncle Marshall, let's visit Lord Matthew's collection together," he said with a smile

"Well, it's a rare opportunity. I also want to know what other aristocrats' collections are like." Lord Marshall did not refuse.

After opening the wooden box, Abel opened the mechanism according to the above record. On the wall of the study, a secret door was opened, and the two stepped into the secret room.

The secret room has a long staircase down. The staircase is very dark, but it has no effect on the two official knights, Abel and Lord Marshall. Along the stairs, they enter a very large room. The room is 20 meters wide and 50 meters long. The roof is inlaid with five night pearls, reflecting the whole room very bright.

There are two rows of neat wooden display cabinets in the middle of the room, which are full of various items. The surface of these items is very clean, indicating that the owner loves and often cleans these items. When Abel looked at them carefully, he found that each item had its own description written on parchment in front of the item.

Looking at the 10 rows of display cabinets on the left and right, Abel couldn't help but smack at Lord Matthew's family collection. If Lord Dickens saw so many collections, it's hard to say whether he would be moved. Let alone the five night pearls on his head. If Lord Matthew dared to put them in the hall of the castle, it's estimated that all the robbers on the mainland would Attracted.

Although Abel didn't know much about the history of the world, the massive historical collection here also opened his eyes, whether it was a treasure of a country or a weapon of a famous general.

"Look at other people's collections, then at our castle's collections, then at other people's collections, then at our collections!" Abel said to Lord Marshall.

Lord Marshall squinted Abel with his eyes, looked at the room again, and said, "how many years has my collection been? This family has hundreds of years of collection. How can I compare it?"

With that, Lord Marshall decided in his heart that he would rebuild his own collection according to this one. It was a shame.
