“Knock knock knock.”

“Come in.”

Knight Raymon walked into the room, bowing with respect, “Viscount, Butler

Emon and Knight Lyle have safely arrived at Ice Rock City.”

“Hmm, I already know,” Colin had just completed the initial embracing ceremony with Knight Shar, his complexion somewhat pale at the moment. “Let them settle down for a bit, then arrange them to meet me in the study.”

“Yes!”

Once Raymon left, Colin looked at Shar, who was still unconscious, and tried to command again, “Wake up, Shar, wake up!”

However, Shar gave no response.

Colin frowned, uncertain whether the embracing ceremony just now was successful or not.

Moreover, he was shocked to find that his own rank had actually dropped!

The Colin who had been a second rank knight before, had dropped to a rank one after this initial embracing ceremony.

He was not sure whether this drop in rank was temporary or permanent.

Nevertheless, he was somewhat prepared for this.

There must be some price to pay for a complete embracing ceremony.

He was already very surprised that he could create blood slaves without any cost before, were it not for the fact that he found out that blood slaves can’t reproduce to create the next generation of blood slaves.

Colin guessed that he could even create a biohazard crisis of the blood clan version in this different world.

Originally, he wanted to conduct further experiments after Knight Shar woke up, but considering that Butler Emon and Knight Lyle were waiting for him, he decided not to delay any longer, getting up and leaving Shar’s room.

“Once Knight Shar awakens, have him come to the study to see me,” Colin instructed the maid standing outside the door.

“Yes.”

Once he arrived in the study, Colin just had a sip of water when he saw Raymon coming in with the old butler of the Angler family — Emon, and the family’s Knight — Lyle Morman behind him.

“Master!”

“Viscount!”

“Ha ha! I’ve been looking forward to seeing you. Come, come, sit down! You must have had a tough journey. What would you like to drink?”

“I’ll just have coffee.”

Knight Lyle rubbed his bald head, hesitated momentarily, then following behind Emon said, “I’ll have the same.”

Colin grinned at Lyle, having caught his hesitation, and instructed the attendants at the door.

“Prepare two cups of coffee and one malt beer.”

“Yes!”

Then, Colin turned to Lyle: “If you want to drink, just say it. We haven’t seen each other for a while, why are you being so formal with me?”

“Heh heh, thanks, Viscount!” Lyle showed his big toothy grin, his ugly face crinkled into a chrysanthemum-like smile.

Lyle was Raymon’s older brother, these two brothers from the Moben family had become wandering knights early on due to the decline of their family, and later swore loyalty to Baron Angler. They have always had a good relationship with Colin.

Especially Lyle, this big strapping strongman had an extremely outstanding talent in martial arts, and when Baron Angler wasn’t home, he would act as Colin’s martial arts teacher.

So, when Colin saw this familiar face now, even though he was no longer the once young Knight, he still instinctively felt a sense of familiarity.

The three men in the study now, Emon, Lyle, and Raymon, could be said to be the core of the Angler family.

As for the sideline members of the Angler family, they weren’t particularly outstanding individuals and Colin would provide for them lavishly, assigning them simple tasks without putting too much dependence on them.

Maybe once Knight Shar wakes up, he could also join this core circle.

The attendant quickly brought the coffee and malt beer. Colin exchanged pleasantries with everyone for a moment before moving on to the main topic.

“Emon, I need you to immediately take over the control of the daily affairs within the territory. Also, choose several suitable candidates for secretaries and tax commissioners, compile a list and submit it to me, I will finalize it and distribute it among various towns.”

“Yes!”

“Although our family’s territory has expanded a lot this time, I’m afraid we will be facing some financial hardships.

Moreover, Ice Rock City has just been looted by the trolls, it needs recuperation, and I don’t want to impose taxes at this moment.

So, aside from the necessary daily expenses, there should be no extravagance and we need to keep everything simple.”

“Yes, Master. You are such a wise and benevolent lord!” Butler Emon said with reassurance.

But the old butler thought for a moment and asked, “However, sir, did you want to renovate the castle you’re living in now? After all, everything here was left behind by the Sudor family…”

“No need, I don’t mind these things.” Colin waved his hand dismissively.

Emon suggested again, “How about changing the color of the outer wall of the castle? This wouldn’t cost much but it could show a new atmosphere.” Colin thought for a moment and thought this was a good idea.

Changing the skin of the castle wouldn’t cost too much, but it would let the subjects know that there was a new lord here.

“Yes, let’s change it to red. Is it easy to get this dye material?”

Colin feels that as a blood clan, red should be considered his lucky color.

“Red…” The old butler thought for a moment, then nodded, “Easy. The coastal areas of the Empire’s southern border produce a dyestuff derived from coral, which can easily dye the outer wall of the castle red. The price is also not high.” “Very well, let’s do that!”

“Yes, sir.” The old butler nodded in agreement then asked, “Should the castle’s name be changed too?”

“Name?” Colin stroked his chin.

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

But that’s not important now.

“Let’s call it Red Castle.” Creative namer, Colin, made a decision on the spot.

The corner of Emon’s mouth twitched, he was somewhat speechless at the name.

The Angler family’s original drab castle named Grey Castle already caused the old butler much resentment.

And now there was a Red Castle…

Think about the names of other people’s castles, Frost Moon Fortress, White Dew Fortress, Fendan Fortress… this is what reflects the elegance and upbringing of a noble!

“Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?” Emon cautiously suggested.

“Hm? Is the name Red Castle not good?” Colin blinked, then turned to look at the Moben brothers.

Knight Raymon immediately nodded, as this knight always obeyed Colin. And Knight Lyle, nodded furiously: “I think the name is excellent!”

Emon glanced at Lyle and found that the honest guy’s face did not seem hypocritical, it seemed he genuinely liked the name.

For the sake of the family’s style, we must keep the viscount away from these two non-studious guys as much as possible…

The old butler thought privately.

“Alright, that’s decided then.” Colin immediately confirmed the castle’s name.

He really couldn’t think of any better names.

Emon sighed quietly, suddenly realizing that elevating the style of the Angler family was still a long way off.

“Oh right, let’s change the family crest too.” Colin suddenly proposed. Colin didn’t really like the roaring white bear on the Angler family’s original crest, and he had some ideas for a new one.

Butler Emon reminded him, “Sir, to change the family crest, we need the approval of the Imperial Senate.”

“Alright, then let’s go through the process.” Colin replied casually. “But sir, to get approval from the Senate, well, you know…” Colin was stunned for a moment, then realized what Emon meant.

We need to bribe them!

After flipping through his predecessor’s memory, Colin found that the Senate of this Empire was indeed corrupt.

If you don’t have money, you basically can’t get anything done!

In particular, a small family like the Angler family, would likely not even be given the time of day by the elders of the Senate unless they lined their pockets rather generously.

“Then forget about it for now, let’s wait and see!”

Colin wasn’t about to give money at present, his funds could be of great use.

Army!

The urgent task at hand is to raise money to establish an army!
