Chapter 48: Otto's Expedition (Seeking Collection, Seeking Reading)
Although most people don't know what Otto is good for catching eagles, and they think that Otto just likes eagles, for the sake of the high bounty, not only the guards are extremely enthusiastic, but even many hunters in the territory are moved.
Regardless of the lord's preferences, no one wants to be at odds with money.
When the people of Aargau were engaged in the vigorous falconry business, a news reached Aargau.
"What? His Majesty Lothair has gone to see the gods? Otto pretended to be surprised.
"Yes, Young Master Otto, although the news has been strictly blocked in the Baal region, it can't be hidden from people after all, and the news still comes out."
Baron Dillon nodded, his territory was closest to Basel, so he was the first to get the news, and when he learned the news, he immediately came to report to Otto.
"Gods, are you going to abandon the kingdom of Lotharingia? His Majesty the King died young, and now how can he face the attacks of the other two kingdoms? ”
Otto pretended to be worried about the future of the kingdom.
"Master Otto, what are we going to do next?" Baron Dillon asked.
Although Otto had already made a plan, he still pretended to think and waited for a while before speaking.
"As vassals of the kingdom, we naturally have the responsibility to guard the territory of the kingdom, and after the beginning of spring, I will personally lead the army to guard His Majesty Yuge."
"Okay, I see, I'll go and prepare." Baron Dillon replied calmly, not expressing his opinion.
Otto was satisfied with this, no wonder his cheap father, the Count of Allgau, valued Baron Dillon so much, who doesn't like an obedient and capable talent.
This expedition is very different from the previous battle with Berne, the last time, because the time and place were agreed in advance, and it was not far from the Aargao collar, Otto did not need to worry about logistics, anyway, he would go back to his home after a day.
But this time, the war is not only not in the territory of Allgao, but it is also unknown when it will end, so it is natural to prepare logistics materials in advance.
Although Otto's goal is only to take the Basel area, if he has the opportunity to expand more territory, Otto will naturally not refuse.
With Otto's high bounty, a large number of eagles were soon sent to Fort Eagle.
At this time, Otto realized that it was completely different from what he expected.
"I'll go, why don't you add to the progress, TNND, add it to me!"
Otto threw dozens of bundled eagles on the roof of the castle and opened the system with anticipation, only to find that the progress of the upgrade had not changed at all.
At this moment, Otto was going crazy, he spent so much manpower and material resources, could it be that he was doing useless work?
Could it be that your guess is wrong?
Otto, who did not believe in evil, launched a test and found the problem.
It turns out that the Eagles that fly to Fort Eagle involuntarily are not counted in the upgrade progress of Fort Eagle.
When Otto placed food on the roof of the house and released the eagles that had been hungry for several days, and when they landed on the roof to eat, Otto witnessed the increase in the progress of the Eagle Castle upgrade.
Very well, although the eagles are willing, but after catching the eagles and starving them for a few days, and then putting food on the roof or eaves, these eagles will of course "voluntarily" stay in the eagle fort.
Of course, the only disadvantage is that these eagles will fly away after they are full, and they need to be caught again, and they cannot be filled all at once.
But at all, it can be regarded as a bug in the system, and the dawn of the Eagle Castle upgrade is just around the corner, and Otto is happy in his heart.
It's just that, since the eagle can be recycled like this, the previous bounty was too high, even if it is this time, it will be reduced in the future, even if it is to upgrade the resources of Eagle Castle, it must be able to save it.
No one understood Otto's intentions, so he took the eagle and starved it for two days, then put food on the eaves and released it again.
Since you can't understand it, then you just don't understand it, it's a quirk to be a lord, anyway, there are a lot of quirks of the noble lords, and Otto's behavior of being harmless to humans and animals can also make everyone make money, so let him go.
Sophie also asked Otto the meaning of doing this, and in the face of his wife, Otto couldn't tell the other party, this is to upgrade the Eagle Castle and brush up the experience.
Otto had to explain that since the castle was called Eagle Castle, it was necessary to get some eagles to live up to its name.
Fortunately, Sophie didn't dig deeper, and this answer was barely fooled.
In more than a month, Otto successfully brushed a wave of experience and gained more than 500 Eagle Castle upgrade experience, so that Eagle Castle was upgraded by 3 levels at once, but Otto's luck was not too good, and the entries brushed out when Eagle Castle was upgraded were very average.
Today, the bonuses offered by Eagle Castle are as follows.
【Eagle Castle】Wonder Level: 4
Upgrade Progress: 107/500
Bonus: Family member opinion +2, management ability +3, health +1
Special Bonus: +20 chance of inheriting the Positive Sighard trait
Level bonus: Family reputation +5
Unique bonuses: +30 fertility for family members, +10 marriage acceptance
Among them, the attribute of the probability of inheriting a positive trait +20 is actually a purple entry. Otto was very excited when he drew it, but he didn't expect it to be such a chicken attribute.
In Otto's view, there are only two cases of inheriting positive traits 0 and 100, either inherited or not, and +20 is no different from not adding.
As for the attribute bonus, it's even more frivolous.
Because after marrying Sophie, he saw the attributes of the character for the first time.
Sophie Habsburg
Prestige: 34
Politics: 54
Diplomacy: 71
Military: 63
Management: 89
Knowledge: 78
Traits: [Alluring Country] (Her beautiful appearance allows her to gain more people's favor, and people are more willing to listen to her opinions)
Obviously, in terms of various abilities, the perfect score is not 20 in the game that Otto was familiar with in his previous life, but 100, and the total score of 100 +2 is really chicken.
As for why he can see Sophie's attributes now, but not his brother El's attributes before, Otto speculates that it may have something to do with the identity of the head of the family.
In the Habsburgs, he was the founder, and naturally a well-deserved head of the family, while in the Arakhof family, although he was the heir, regent of the family and the domain, he was not the official head of the house until the death of the Count of Allgau, so it was not visible.
The management ability of 89 points also explains why Sophie has an extraordinary talent for managing finances.
As for Otto's own attributes, it's still a question mark, so presumably this is the customization of the "player".
In the short term, it is unlikely that Otto will be able to farm Eagle Castle to level 5, which will take a long time. Now, with the spring breeze and the south bank of the Green River, it is time to go on the expedition.
After all, looking at the orders from the Duke of the Netherlands, Otto, as a loyal servant of the kingdom, can't turn a blind eye like this, it's time to protect the kingdom.
Baron Dillon has the logistics ready, so it's time to go.
This time, Otto didn't bring too many soldiers, only a thousand, less than the last time he fought with the Bernese Territory, after all, it was better to keep someone to watch the house, lest someone steal it.
As for the choice of the nobles, Otto had the same idea as the Count of Allgau, with Baron Dillon as the commander and the vast majority of the nobles with him, leaving Baron Charlie to guard the house.
In addition, Otto also left Bard and other loyal guards who grew up with him by Sophie's side and obeyed Sophie's dispatch.
Sophie silently helped Otto tie his cloak, and Otto couldn't help but smile when he saw his wife's unhappy appearance, and kissed the other party on the forehead.
"Don't worry, there won't be any danger this time, maybe I'll be back next week."
