Chapter 47: Eagle Castle Promotion Conditions (Seeking Follow-up Reading, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Otto was a little dumbfounded, although he knew what Simon's butler meant, but he didn't understand what the relationship between this spice and aphrodisiac was.
After Simon's steward's twisted explanation, black lines were about to appear on Otto's head, and he couldn't help but think of a sentence from his previous life.
There is a reason why there are few foreigners, because they like to die.
Who told you that boiling ginger into ginger juice and applying it to a certain part can be an aphrodisiac?
Oh my God, even if there's nothing wrong with this, it's going to be a problem after this happens.
"Huh." A perfunctory smile erupted into Otto's face.
"Thank you for your concern, but I'm in good health, so I don't have to worry about it."
"Okay, I'll tell Lady Kalyn. By the way, Master Otto, I have recently discussed something with Lady Kaylin, and I have something to say to you. โ
"If there's anything, just say it."
"Young Master, some of the family badges you established are too ostentatious and not suitable, please think about it more, Young Master?"
"Not suitable?" Otto frowned. "What's inappropriate?"
"The double-headed eagle is the coat of arms of the Roman Empire, and in your identity as young master, I'm afraid it's a bit arrogant."
What the heck? Otto was stunned for a moment, then began to quickly go through his mind, and secretly screamed in his heart.
It's broken, I seem to have memorized it, and I wrote the coat of arms of the Holy Roman Empire as the coat of arms of the Habsburgs. It's all to blame that the Habsburgs have been the HRE emperors for too long in history, so that almost all of them are double-headed eagle coats of arms to the outside world, which makes him confused.
In this era of blood, with the relationship between Otto and the Roman Empire, he is indeed not qualified to use a double-headed eagle.
Since it was his own mistake, Otto didn't harden his mouth and humbly accepted Simon's key advice.
"I was negligent, I think, changing the double-headed eagle to a single-headed eagle, it should be fine."
"If it's a one-headed eagle, the nobles' criticism will indeed be much better." Steward Simon smiled and nodded, it could be seen that Young Master Otto liked eagles very much, not only the castle and family were named after eagles, but the coat of arms was also named after eagles, so there was no need to continue to persuade them.
After Simon's steward left, Otto hurriedly summoned Ginter and instructed him to have the craftsmen make new flags and remove all the coats of arms associated with the previous double-headed eagles.
Otto knew very well that because some small things could trigger a war of the nobles, trespassing was undoubtedly a great excuse.
Otto didn't want to make any trouble because of a family crest.
Every few days, Baron Charlie also came to visit, and while delivering a bunch of spices, he also told Otto a piece of news.
"Young Master Otto, in fact, Lord Count had already guessed that someone would be unfavorable to us in the Al Gau, and the reason why I was left behind was to prevent a certain faction in the Church from sabotaging the Al Collar and to protect you, Lady Kailin, and Young Master El.
It's just, I didn't expect that, Lady Kaylin..."
"That's it!" Otto interrupted Baron Charlie. "Needless to say, Your Excellency, everything is a rumor, and I was also confused by rumors before. Lady Kaylin, a good wife and a good mother, I don't want to hear any more rumors like that, you know? โ
A hint of strangeness flashed in Baron Charley's eyes, but he nodded anyway.
"I see, Master Otto, I promise that there will be no more similar rumors in the territory."
"It's good to understand, no matter what, El is my younger brother, and Lady Kaylin has taken care of me like a mother since I was a child, and I don't want anyone to break the relationship between our family."
More than two years had passed, and Otto had thought about what had happened, but it had passed, and now that he was more pleasant with Lady Kaylin, there was no need.
As Otto said, El is his brother anyway, and although Otto has no feelings for this brother, he can't meet him.
What's more, in the Middle Ages, family members were the most trustworthy people.
The lessons of the Carolingian dynasty are still on display, and Otto, as the founder of the family, must not set a bad example for future generations.
Think about Li Tang in the East, even if Li Shimin is a Ming monarch at the level of the first emperor of the ages, but after a bad start, when will the inheritance of the family not be bloody.
Otto didn't want his own family and his descendants to become like that, otherwise it would be useless for him to lay a great foundation.
In view of Sophie's resentful look at him all day long, which made Otto a little furious, Otto decided to find her something to do, so Otto took back the financial power of the territory from Bard and handed it over to Sophie to take care of the accounts.
Originally, letting Bard take over was a short-term transitional act, but it was only because Bard's loyalty reassured Otto.
Now that there is Sophie, it is only natural to hand over the accounts to Sophie, and after getting married, Sophie can be regarded as the hostess of the Allgau collar.
Otto taught Sophie the double-entry method of bookkeeping, who was not only beautiful but also very intelligent, quickly learned this not complicated way of bookkeeping, and became interested in it, and began to sort out the books of the Allgaux and Arakhorf families.
After Sophie had something to do, Otto was also greatly relieved, at least, when he ate every day, he didn't have to face Sophie's resentful gaze.
On this day, Otto got up as usual and opened the system to check the progress of the Wonder upgrade, and was surprised to find that the progress bar had risen again, becoming 8/100.
Otto's remaining sleepiness was dispelled in an instant, and Gint was called in an instant.
"I ask you what happened in the castle between last night and this morning." Otto seemed very eager, and he seemed to have seen hope of brushing the Eagle Castle to the full level.
"Oh." Gint still didn't seem to wake up, but he still started to talk slowly about what was happening in the castle.
What cook made what dishes, what maid broke a few dishes, and other trivial things, Otto's original lost sleepiness enveloped him again.
"Stop, stop! Not to mention that these are there every day, from yesterday to this morning, there are any special things or people who have entered the castle. โ
"Specialโ" Gint thought for a moment, still confused.
"No, there's nothing special lately."
Strangely, Otto's brows furrowed even deeper, could it be that it had increased over time, or some other factor, he continued to ask without giving up.
"Did you see anything strange inside the castle?"
"Strange, no." Gint still shook his head, then said. "There's nothing strange about it, it's really appropriate for the young master to name this castle Eagle Castle, when I came here in the morning, I saw a few eagles perched on top of the tower."
Eagle, Eagle Fort.
Otto suddenly grasped some key point, and thought of the name of the Eagle Castle in history, isn't it because an eagle landed on the castle.
The number of eagles that stay can upgrade Eagle Castle, which should have been thought of a long time ago.
"Jinte, you've done a great job!"
Otto was excited.
"Quick, send the order, let the guards go and catch the eagle for me, and then put it on the roof of the castle, whoever catches the most eagles, I will be rewarded!"
