When he saw the system message, Otto was suddenly a little stupid, and almost fell off his horse in shock.

Immediately, he also realized something, and thought of the inexplicable castle collapse in front of him, and his heart suddenly increased his vigilance.

This matter, I'm afraid, is not as simple as an accident.

The other party's idea should be to let himself be buried with Eagle Castle.

Wait, since the other party can destroy the castle by attacking, then there will definitely not be only such a trick. This is a world with extraordinary abilities, and the other party also has to prevent the situation that he did not die under the protection of the knight, and it is likely that there will be a backhand.

If you bring such a few people to the past, it is very likely that there will be some "accidents" halfway, and you can't just pass it like this.

Thinking of this, Otto pulled the reins of his horse and stopped halfway. As soon as he stopped, the others followed.

"Master Otto, what's wrong? Is it because you are not feeling well? Knight Wade asked with concern.

"No, I'm fine." Otto shook his head and gestured to one of his guards. "Ginter, go back to the castle and take my guards with you!"

"Nope! Not only my guards, but also half of the castle guards, I'll be waiting for you here, go and come back quickly! ”

Gint didn't know why, but he immediately agreed, turned his horse's head and returned to the castle.

"Master Otto, who are you?" Wade asked knowingly.

Otto squeezed a smile on his face, nodded at him, and said in a righteous and awe-inspiring voice.

"The collapse of the family's newly built castle is likely to be deliberately sabotaged by bandits or other nobles, and they don't want us to expand their influence in Alahorf, and I want to arrest these saboteurs who may have infiltrated the territory, which is a provocation to our county of Allgäu."

Otto's reason can only be said to be very reluctant, he said that the possibility is there, but it is not high at all.

Although the castle was an extension of the authority of the nobility in this era, the villages around the castle had always been under the control of the Count of Allgäu. It's just a small earthen fort, and it's not in a critical location, and the possibility of bandits or other lords wreaking havoc is too small.

Rather than being suspicious of outsiders, it is better to be suspicious of people inside the county.

The well-informed Wade naturally understood this truth, otherwise, he would not have been personally appointed by Count Allgau as the captain of Otto's guard. However, he didn't say much, and glanced at Otto meaningfully, with a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

"Young Master Otto is right, if it's an accident, forget it, if someone sabotages, then the county of Aargau will never allow anyone to provoke like this."

Otto nodded and didn't speak, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that this captain Wade has no problems at the moment, and he is reliable for the time being.

The reason why Otto wants to return to the castle to lead the troops is because the army he can mobilize at present is just his own guards and castle guards, although the military power of the territory falls into the hands of the Baron Charlie, but the command of the castle guard, even if the Count of Allgäu trusts Baron Charlie, it is impossible to hand it over to the other party, and as Otto's heir, it can naturally be transferred.

As for the many soldiers left in the castle, I'm sorry, those soldiers naturally listened to Baron Charlie and ignored Otto, unless Otto became an earl.

As for the question of who wanted to murder himself, Otto hardly had to guess, and wrote it clearly.

The identity of the heir, the stepmother, the head of the family going out, these elements, how could Otto, who had read countless novels in his previous life, not understand who else could be preparing to murder him except for the stepmother, Lady Karin.

I really can't imagine that this kind of bloody novel will really happen to me one day, and I don't know if I am lucky or unlucky.

At the beginning of the crossing, in fact, Otto was also worried about this problem for a while, but in the memory of the original owner, he didn't like this Lady Kailin much, and he didn't hate it much. Lady Kaelin and the original Otto only had a general relationship, and there was no conflict.

At this point, I also have to praise Otto's cheap son, Count Allgau. As early as when he married Lady Kaylin, the Count of Allgäu determined Otto's identity as the heir, and with the inheritance law of this era, it basically broke Lady Kaelin's mind.

At the same time, after the birth of Otto's younger brother, the Count of Allgäu also made a promise that he would give his younger brother Elr a lot of land in the future, which was enough to ensure that El would become a small nobleman and be rich and worry-free. Therefore, Lady Karin, who was born into a wealthy merchant family, can be regarded as dutiful to Otto, at least from Otto's point of view, a qualified countess and stepmother.

Of course, what really made Otto relax his vigilance was that the original owner had never encountered any strange "accidents" since he was a child, and even his crossing itself, after waking up, was quietly lying in bed, and the memory of the original owner was still sleeping in bed last night.

You know, if that Lady Karin wants to do something to Otto, it must be that Otto is younger and easier, and now, seeing that Otto will officially become an adult in less than a year, and he will take over the power of the territory step by step in the future, at this time, that Lady Karin does it, I really don't know what she is thinking.

Perhaps, it was the Count of Allgau's expedition that gave Lady Karin an opportunity? However, in my memory, it is not the first time that Count Allgäu has left the territory, could it be that the Count has hung up?

Thinking of this, Otto opened the system to confirm that the familiar character panel of "Crusader Kings 3" appeared, and in the parents column, the portrait of his mother was gray, and the portrait of his father, who represented the count, was still bright.

The system prompts that someone still wants to assassinate him.

Exiting the system quickly, Otto shook his head, he really couldn't figure out what Lady Kaelin was thinking, could it be that Lady Kaylin didn't do anything? That's even more undeserved, who would do it to themselves?

I couldn't figure it out, so Otto simply didn't want to, in that case, let's see what was going on with his Eagle Castle first.

Not long after, Gint arrived with his guards, and seeing the soldiers in full armor, Otto's heart settled down a lot, with this army, there should not be a situation where he committed suicide by slashing his back dozens of times.

Otto waved his hand, a little amused.

"Let's go!"

Jin Te transferred a large number of guards in the castle, but in full view of everyone, even civilians couldn't hide it, let alone someone with a heart.

Baron Charlie stood quietly on the gatehouse, watching Gentry leave with his guards, his eyes deep and muttering to himself.

"Young Master Otto, you are really amazing, you can actually think of this layer, I think the Earl will know about it, and he will be very happy."
