Chapter 58: Chamber of Matthew Castle

On the return journey, Lord Marshall and Abel first went to Matthew Castle. From then on, the territory surrounding Matthew Castle already belonged to Abel.
This part of the Knight Knight collar to the east and the middle of the Harry Knight collar to the west, up to 100 miles of land, together with everything in Matthew Castle, lost the owner because all the heirs of the Matthew family had died, It was conferred to Abel by the Principality, and also allowed Abel to have a coat of arms. The design of the coat of arms can now begin, but after going to Gangba City to participate in the ceremony of honor, it will be submitted to the noble management department for final approval. Send to all noble management departments across the continent for record.
The carriage came to the door of Matthew Castle, but the steward Ken was already waiting at the door. There were several guards and a group of servants standing behind him. All eyes were full of confusion about the future and fate. Since all members of the Matthew family were killed, these people Are waiting for the Principality's decision.
Yesterday, the city's main government has sent someone to announce that Lord Matthew has changed its name to Lord Abel. The castle and all the land belong to Lord Abel. The castle has since changed to a new owner, and these servants who live on the castle, The guard and even the steward were worried that the new owner would drive them out of the castle.
Lord Marshall didn't get out of the car first, but said to Abel, "This is your castle, let's go and meet them first."
Abel said with a smile: "This land is the land of the Harry family. Although it will have two coats of arms, it will always belong to the Harry family."
In this world, the lord of each noble territory, regardless of the size of the territory, will have a coat of arms. When the territory is lost, the coat of arms will be retracted. Each noble will learn the knowledge of the coat of arms and recognize all the coats of arms.
Those who have no territories are respected like the nobles of the territories, but who have no territories and no coats of arms are born inferior to the nobles of the territories.
Abel now has a coat of arms, and as the heir of Lord Marshall, he will have another coat of arms. When Abel has his own children, two of them can inherit the coat of arms, territory, and title.
The smile on Lord Marshall's face was even stronger. Abel was his adopted son and the son of his best brother. At this time, Abel had clearly defined the territory as the territory of the Harry family, making him happy. .
The driver opened the door and Abel stepped out of the carriage first. Butler Ken stepped forward and bowed to Abel, "Dear Lord Abel, your castle welcomes you."
"Ken, I'm glad to see you again." Abel continued with a smile. "Take me to see the castle. I can't wait."
"It's my honor!"
Steward Ken then saw Lord Marshall come down from the carriage and bowed quickly: "Dear Lord Marshall."
Lord Marshall waved and smiled and turned to Abel. "Visit this castle together, but Matthew never invited me."
I heard Lord Marshall say that the steward Ken did not answer because Lord Matthew had not had much contact with Lord Marshall before, and he also looked down on Lord Marshall who was a knight at the time, but the steward of the former owner did not Facing the new castle owner.
Abel's impression of Ken, the housekeeper, is very good. He is even more impressed when he sees Ken's present attitude.
The day before yesterday, when rescued Matthew Castle, it was already dark. Some buildings of the castle were burned by the fire. Today Abel found that everything in the castle has been restored. Because the castle was built by megaliths, the fire did not burn down. The house, and you can see that the servants have worked very hard these days. In addition to the traces of fire on the outer wall, the disaster of that day is no longer visible.
Looking at Abel's view of the castle, his expression of satisfaction on his face could not help but refresh his spirit. The efforts of these days were recognized by the new owner. He introduced the castle's voice to be more humble. Said: "Dear Lord Abel, all the property here has not been touched, the city's government requires all property to be sealed up, and you will accept it when you arrive."
Abel understood that this was a good show of Viscount Dickens. As a city master, Viscount Dickens did not take the property of a lord into mind. It was very cost-effective for him to pay Abel with these. Thing.
In the storeroom, Abel saw a few huge wooden boxes made of iron and wood. The boxes were sealed by the city's government. He didn't take a closer look and said directly to Ken, "Ken, can I trust you?"
At the words of Abel, Ken knelt 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, and we will be the family in the future." Abel said, holding up his hand and raising Ken.
"Thank you!" Ken was already in tears, thinking he was going to lose everything, but now he got it again.
"The servants and the guards are your responsibility. Who is willing to stay, who wants to leave, whoever can stay is up to you. Those who leave are 5 gold coins per person, and I can help Lord Matthew for them. It ’s the right choice.
Abel did n’t want to worry about the trivial things in the castle. It was the right choice to leave professional matters to professional people.
"Master, I will arrange these properly, and the final result will be reported to you." Ken is very grateful for Abel's trust. The relationship between the steward and the master in this world is very close. Being able to get a position as a steward is equivalent to I will live with my master all my life. As the manager who is second only to the master in the castle, this position is very high. Coupled with working for such a young nobleman and blacksmith master, the future is bright.
Lord Marshall watched Abel handle these things without speaking. This is Abel ’s castle. He did n’t want to get involved in Abel ’s affairs. At this point, he was very clear. At the same time, he also told Abel The ability to handle things is very appreciated, and I am glad that Abel can find a suitable housekeeper.
When several people entered the study, Ken took a wooden box from the bookshelf and said, "There is a secret room here. The opening method is in this box. I will avoid it first."
After Ken retreated from the study to the door, Lord Marshall was about to exit the study, but was stopped by Abel, and he smiled, "Uncle Marshall, let's visit Lord Matthew's collection."
"Okay, a rare opportunity. I also want to know what the collection of other nobles is like." Lord Marshall did not quit.
Opening the wooden box, Abel opened the mechanism according to the records above. On the wall of the study, a hidden door was opened, and the two walked into the secret room.
This secret room had a long staircase going down, and the staircase was very dark, but it had no effect on the two formal knights of Abel and Lord Marshall. Along the stairs, they entered a particularly huge room. This room Visual inspection reached 20 meters wide and 50 meters in length. Five night pearls were inlaid on the roof, reflecting the entire room very bright.
In the middle of the room are two neat rows of wooden display cases filled with various items. The surface of these items is very clean, indicating that the owner takes great care of these items and often cleans them. When Abel stepped forward and looked closely, he found that every item was Individual instructions are written on the parchment in front of the item.
Looking at the 10 rows of display cabinets on the left and right, Abel couldn't help but talk about Lord Matthew's family collection. If the Lord Viscount Dickens saw so many collections, would it be hard to say whether it would be tempting to say, let alone other, Just talking about the five night pearls overhead, if Lord Matthew dares to put them in the castle hall, it is estimated that all robbers on the mainland will be attracted.
Although Abel didn't know much about the history of this world, the huge historical collection here also made him an eye-opener, whether it was a treasure of a certain country or a weapon of a famous general.
"Look at their collection room, then look at our castle's collection room, look at their collection, and then look at our collection!" Abel said to Lord Marshall.
Lord Marshall crossed Abel with his eyes and looked at the collection room again, saying, "How many years have my collection been collected. How can this family have been collecting for hundreds of years? How can it be compared?"
Having said that, Lord Marshall secretly decided to go back and rebuild his own collection room according to this collection room. This comparison is too shameful.
