"Boom boom boom."

"Come in."

Knight Raymond walked into the room, bowed, and saluted: "The Lord Viscount, Butler Yimen, and Knight Rego have successfully arrived in Ice Rock City."

"Well, I know." Colin had just finished his first embrace of the knight Shire, and his face was a little pale at this time.

"Let them settle down first, and then meet me in the study."

"Yes!"

After Raymond left, Colin looked at Shire who had not yet awakened, and tried to command: "Get up, Shire, get up!"

However, Shire did not respond.

Colin frowned, and he didn't know if the first embrace ceremony just now was considered a success.

Moreover, he also discovered to his horror that his rank had actually been lowered!

Colin, who was originally a second-order knight, dropped to the first order after this first embrace ceremony.

I just don't know if this reduction is temporary or permanent.

However, he was still somewhat mentally prepared for this.

There must be a price in order to complete the first embrace ceremony.

Colin was very surprised to be able to create blood slaves without price before, if it weren't for the discovery that blood slaves could not continue to create the next generation of blood slaves. Colin estimated that he could even create a bloody version of the biochemical crisis in this other world.

He wanted to wait for the knight Shire to do further experiments when he woke up, but considering that Butler Yimen and Knight Rego were still waiting for him, he stopped delaying and got up and walked out of Shire's room.

"After the knight Shire wakes up, let him come to the study to see me," Colin ordered the maid guarding outside the door.

"Yes."

All the way to the study, Colin just drank his saliva when he saw Raymond come in, followed by the old butler of the Angele family - Yimen, and the family knight - Rego Morburn.

"Master!"

"Master Viscount!"

"Haha, I finally brought you all here. Come on, sit down, sit down! You've worked hard all the way, what do you want to drink?"

"Just coffee."

Knight Rego touched his big bald head, hesitated for a moment, and followed Yimen and said, "The same is true for me."

Colin smiled and glanced at Rego. The other party's hesitation clearly fell in his eyes, so he ordered the attendant at the door:

"Go and prepare two cups of coffee and a cup of ale."

"Yes!"

Then, Colin looked back at Rego: "If you want to drink, just say it. I didn't see you for a while, why are you polite with me?"

"Hehe, thank you, Master Viscount!" Rego grinned, his ugly face turned into a chrysanthemum.

Rego is the elder brother of Raymond. These two Morbun family brothers early became wandering knights because of the family decline. Later, they became loyal to Baron Angele, and their relationship with Colin has always been very good.

Especially Rego, this tall and strong man is extremely talented in martial arts. When Baron Angele was not at home, he was Colin's martial arts teacher.

Therefore, at this moment, when Colin saw this old acquaintance, although he was no longer the boy at the beginning, he still felt instinctively kind.

At this time, the three in the study, Yimen, Rego, and Raymond, can be said to be the core team of the Angele family.

As for the members of the Angele family's collateral line, they are not outstanding figures, and Colin will only serve them with good food and wine, and give them some simple things to do without being overly dependent

Perhaps when the knight Shire wakes up, he can join this inner circle.

The waiter soon brought coffee and ale, Colin exchanged a few words with everyone, and then turned to the topic.

"Yimen, I need you to take over the daily affairs of the territory immediately. In addition, You will find a few candidates for the clerk and tax officer position, make a list and give it to me. I will finalize and assign it to each town."

"Yes!"

"Although the family territory has expanded a lot this time, the financial situation of the family may go through a difficult period.

Moreover, Ice Rock City has just been ransacked by the trolls and needs to rest and recuperate, and I don't want to increase taxes at this time.

Therefore, in addition to the necessary daily expenses, there must not be any extravagant behaviors, keep everything simple. "

"Yes, sir. You are really a wise and merciful lord!" Butler Yimen said with satisfaction.

But the old butler thought for a while and asked, "But, sir, do you want to renovate the castle you live in now? After all, the things here are left by the Sudor family..."

"No, I don't care about this." Colin waved his hand.

Yimen also suggested: "We should change the color of the castle's outer wall, which is not very costly, but can also show a new look."

Colin thought for a while, and thought that this was a good idea.

It doesn't cost much to change the skin of the castle, but it can let the citizens know that there is already a new owner here.

"Yes. Then change to red. Is this dyeing material easy to get?"

Colin felt that as a blood clan, red should be regarded as his lucky color.

"Red..." The old butler thought for a while and nodded, "Convenient. The coastal area of ​​the southern border of the empire produces a dye derived from coral, which can dye the outer walls of the castle very well. The price is not expensive."

"Very good, then do it!"

"Yes, sir." The old butler nodded, and then asked again, "Does the castle need a change of the name?"

"Name?" Colin rubbed his chin.

He suddenly realized that he had never been paying attention to the name of this Sudor family castle.

However, this is not important anymore.

"It's called Red Fort." Colin, made the decision immediately.

The corners of Yimen's mouth twitched, and he was really speechless about the name.

The original gray castle of the Angele family was called Graycastle, and the old housekeeper was very resentful.

Unexpectedly, there is now another Red Fort...

Think about the names of other people's castles, Frostmoon Castle, Fontaine Castle... Only this can reflect the cultivation that an elegant nobleman should have!

"Don't you need to think about it anymore?" Yimen suggested carefully.

"Well? Is the name Red Castle bad?" Colin blinked, then looked at Raymond.

Knight Raymond nodded immediately, this knight had always obeyed Colin.

Knight Rego also nodded frantically: "I think this name is very good!"

Yimen glanced at Rego and found that the expression on the face of this silly boy didn't seem to be fake, it seemed that he really liked the name.

For the style of the family, the Viscount must first stay away from these two unlearned guys...

The old butler thought to himself.

"Okay, that's it." Colin immediately set the name of the castle.

He really couldn't think of any better names.

Yimen sighed secretly, and suddenly realized that there was still a long way to go to improve the style of the Angele family.

"Oh, by the way, the family crest should also be changed." Colin suddenly proposed again.

Colin didn't like the original roaring white bear badge of the Angele family, and he had some thoughts about the new badge in his heart.

Butler Yimen reminded: "Master, if you change the family crest, you need to get the consent of the Imperial Senate."

"Okay, then go through the process." Colin replied casually.

"But, you have to go through the process of passing through the Senate, cough cough, you know what, sir..."

Colin was stunned, only then did he realize what Yimen meant.

Actually want to pay a bribe!

Turning over the memories of his predecessor, Colin really found that the Senate of this empire really looked like this.

No money, basically nothing can be done!

Especially small families like the Angele family do not bleed heavily once, and it is estimated that the elders in the Senate will not look at them directly.

"Forget it, let's talk about it later!"

Colin would not give money now, his current money can be of great use.

Army!

The top priority is to build an army!
