Chapter 58 Matthew's Castle Secret Room
On the return journey, Lord Marshall and Abel went to Matthew Castle first, and the territory around Matthew Castle has belonged to Abel since then.
This piece of land, which is bordered by Bennett Knight's Land in the east and the middle part of Harry's Knight's Land in the west, has a range of up to 100 miles, and everything in Matthew's Castle has lost its owner because all the heirs of the Matthew family have died. It was given to Abel by the duchy, which also allowed Abel to have a coat of arms. The design of the coat of arms can start now, but after going to Gangba City to participate in the award ceremony, it will be handed over to the Noble Management Department for final approval. Send it to all aristocratic management departments across the continent for filing.
The carriage came to the door of Matthew's Castle. The housekeeper Ken was already waiting at the door. There were several guards and a group of servants standing behind them. Everyone's eyes were full of confusion about their future destiny. Since all members of the Matthew family were killed, these people They are all waiting for the decision of the Principality.
Yesterday, the city lord's mansion had sent someone to announce that Lord Matthew would be renamed Lord Abel from now on, the castle and everything in the land belonged to Lord Abel, and the castle had changed to a new owner from then on, and these servants who lived on the castle, The guards and even the butler Ken are worried that the new owner will drive them out of the castle.
Lord Marshall didn't get out of the car first, but said to Abel, "This is your castle, it's up to you to meet them first."
Abel smiled and said, "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 every 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 When the territory is lost, the coat of arms will be withdrawn. Every nobleman must learn the knowledge of coat of arms and know all the coat of arms.
Those nobles who do not have territories, although they are respected just like the territorial nobles, but they have no territory and no coat of arms, they are born inferior in front of the territorial nobles.
Abel now has a coat of arms, and as the heir to Lord Marshall, he will also have another coat of arms. When Abel has his own children, two of them can inherit the coat of arms, territories and titles.
The smile on Lord Marshall's face became even wider. 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, which made him very happy. .
The coachman opened the door, Abel stepped out of the carriage first, and the butler Ken stepped forward and bowed to Abel: "Dear Lord Abel, your castle welcomes you."
"Ken, it's nice to see you again." Abel said with a smile, "Show me the castle, I can't wait any longer."
"It's my pleasure!"
Butler Ken then saw Lord Marshall get off the carriage, and quickly bowed: "Dear Lord Marshall."
Lord Marshall waved his hand, turned to Abel with a smile and said, "To visit this castle together, Matthew has never invited me."
Hearing what Lord Marshall said, the butler 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 housekeeper Ken did not answer the question of the former owner because of Facing the new castle owner and going to cater.
Abel had a very good impression of the housekeeper Ken, and when he saw Ken's current attitude, he appreciated it even more.
It was already dark when Matthew Castle was rescued a few days ago. Some buildings in the castle were burned by the fire. Abel found that everything in the castle had been restored today. Since the castle was built of boulders, the fire did not burn down. The house, and it can be seen that the servants have worked very hard these days. Except for some traces of fire on the outer wall, the disaster that day can no longer be seen.
When he watched Abel check the castle, he had a satisfied look on his face, and Ken couldn't help but be refreshed. His efforts these days were recognized by the new owner. He introduced the castle with a more humble voice. Said: "Dear Lord Abel,
All the property here has not been touched. The City Lord's Mansion requires all property to be sealed up and checked by you after your arrival. "
Abel understands that this is the city lord Viscount Dickens showing his favor. As a city lord of a big city, Viscount Dickens does not care about the property of a lord. It is very cost-effective for him to use these to befriend Abel. matter.
In the warehouse, Abel saw several huge wooden boxes made of iron wood, with the seal of the city lord's mansion on them. He didn't take a close look, but turned around and said to Ken, "Ken, can I trust you?"
Hearing Abel's words, Ken knelt down on one knee and said solemnly, "Yes, esteemed Lord Abel, I pay you my loyalty!"
"I accept your loyalty, you are the steward of my castle, and we will be a family in the future." Abel stretched out his hand to help Ken and said.
"Thank you master!" Ken had tears in his eyes, thinking he was going to lose everything, but now he got it again.
"The servants and guards are entrusted to you. Who is willing to stay and who wants to leave. You can decide who can stay. Those who leave each have 5 gold coins, which I will help Lord Matthew give them. Let's get severance pay." Abel didn't want to worry about trivial matters in the castle, and it was the right choice to leave professional things 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 world's steward and the master is very close, and getting a stewardship is equivalent to He will live with the master all his life. As a manager who ranks second only to the master in the castle, this position is very high. Coupled with working for such a young nobleman and a master blacksmith, the future is bright.
Lord Marshall watched Abel deal with these things and did not speak. This is Abel's castle. He does not want to interfere in the affairs of Abel's castle. On this point, he is very clear, and at the same time he is also very concerned about Abel's castle. The ability to handle things is greatly appreciated, and I am happy that Abel can find a suitable steward.
When a few people walked into the study, Ken took a wooden box from the bookshelf and said, "There is a secret room here, and the way to open it is in this box, so let me avoid it first."
After Ken retreated from the study to the door, Lord Marshall was also about to exit the study, but was stopped by Abel and said with a smile, "Uncle Marshall, let's visit Lord Matthew's collection together."
"Okay, it's a rare opportunity, and I also want to know what other nobles' collections are like." Lord Marshall did not refuse.
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 walked into the secret room.
This secret room has a long staircase going down. The staircase is very dark, but it has no effect on the two formal knights, Abel and Lord Marshall. Following the staircase, they enter a particularly huge room, this room It is estimated to be 20 meters wide and 50 meters long. Five luminous pearls are inlaid on the roof, which illuminates the whole room very brightly.
In the middle of the room are two neat rows of wooden display cabinets, which are full of various items. The surfaces of these items are very clean, indicating that the owner loves these items and cleans them frequently. When Abel stepped forward to take a closer look, he found that each item was There are individual instructions written on the parchment on the front of the item.
Looking at the display cabinets with 10 rows on the left and right in front of him, Abel couldn't help but slapped Lord Matthew's family collection. If Viscount Dickens, the city owner, saw so many collections, it is really hard to say whether he would be tempted. Just talking about the five night pearls on the top of the head, if Lord Matthew dares to put them in the hall of the castle, it is estimated that all the robbers on the mainland will be attracted.
Although Abel didn't know much about the history of this world, the massive historical collection here also opened his eyes, whether it was the treasures of a certain country or the weapons of famous generals.
"Look at other people's collections, then look at our castle's collections, look at other people's collections, and then look at our collections!" Abel said to Lord Marshall.
Lord Marshall glanced at Abel with his eyes, then looked at the collection room and said, "My collection is only a few years old. This family has collected it for hundreds of years. How can we compare?"
After speaking, Lord Marshall secretly decided in his heart that he must rebuild his own collection room according to this collection room when he goes back. This comparison is too humiliating.
