No, if this continues, if it continues, it won't be long before I completely turn into a lamb at the mercy of others.
With no money, no soldiers, no power, and no one to protect you, when you know that the other party wants to kill you, isn't it just waiting to die?
The current unfavorable situation must be reversed.
Otto took a deep breath, smiled kindly at Baron Charlie, and said in an unhurried tone:
"Thank you Mrs. Kelly for your concern and Sir Charlie's kindness. The safety of the castle is indeed very important, and the castle guards should indeed protect the safety of the castle. As for me, with the protection of Knight Wade and the guards, I think it has been enough."
"Since Master Otto said so, then..." Baron Charlie nodded to Otto and returned a kind smile, no longer insisting, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Mrs. Kellyn.
"Otto, you must not be careless. Bandits now dare to come to the territory to cause trouble. If something happens to you, how should I explain to the master and your deceased mother? Let Sir Charlie send troops to protect you. "
This happened again, Otto sneered in his heart, but fortunately he thought of a way to deal with it.
"Sending troops for protection will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Since bandits are rampant, they should be eradicated. I have a suggestion. It is better to take the initiative to clean up the bandits near the territory and strengthen patrols. In this way, the security of the territory will be improved, not only for business. If the team is willing to come, it will also attract many farmers to attach themselves.
What do you think, Sir Charlie? "
Otto feinted a shot and turned the problem into suppressing bandits. Faced with Otto's proposal, Baron Charlie pondered for a moment and nodded.
"Master Otto has a point. Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative. Since the earl has already gone out to suppress the bandits, if there are still bandits in our Argau collar, it will also affect the reputation of the earl.
I will gather the garrison troops from each castle and personally be responsible for suppressing bandits in the territory. But in the meantime, Master Otto, you still need manpower around you. The new castle can no longer be destroyed by bandits. "
"Sir Charlie is right, I have also considered this. I plan to recruit a group of knights from the territory. The outstanding ones will enrich my bodyguards, and the qualified ones will serve as the garrison of the new castle and be responsible for supervising the construction of the new castle. until completion.
I will also take them with Sir Charlie to suppress the bandits and let them see blood and the battlefield. "
Otto didn't wait for Mrs. Karin's reaction and answered immediately.
In Europe of this era, even if you were born into a noble family, you still had to mount a horse to kill the enemy, which was incomparable to the nobles in the East who could just eat and wait for death.
The original owner has been learning martial arts and riding skills since he was a child. Otto has continued to learn and train since his time travel. In addition, it has been integrated with the original owner's memories. Although he is a minor now, his personal strength is rare for this age group. There are a full 8 in the system panel. A little bravery is enough to prove his strength.
Baron Charlie looked at Otto with admiration in his eyes, and complimented with a smile: "As expected of Master Otto, he is very considerate. With the help of the young master, we will definitely be able to wipe out those bandits who don't know the heights of the world."
The two of them exchanged words with each other and quickly settled on the matter of suppressing the bandits, without giving anyone else a chance to intervene.
Otto breathed a sigh of relief. The situation finally returned to normal. How could Mrs. Kelly be willing to see this situation? She spoke again:
"Otto, suppressing bandits is a good thing, but isn't it inappropriate to expand the army rashly? This is a big expense. The family doesn't have much money at the moment..."
"It is still necessary, Mrs. Kelin. You don't want the new castle you spent money to build to be destroyed. Wouldn't it be a waste of money? Since my dear madam is willing to support me in building the castle, she will not refuse to build it again. Give me more money to form a castle guard."
Otto blurted out and regretted it after saying it. Why did this tone of voice sound weird? It's all my fault. It's all my fault for watching Xiaori in my previous life... I watched too many movies about my life when I was having a good time. It's my fault. But fortunately, this Mrs. Kailin most likely doesn’t know the source of these words, otherwise it would be too social.
"Of course... not!" Mrs. Karin gritted her teeth and held it in for a long time before she spoke. She never expected that Otto, who seemed to have lost completely, would be able to do so in a short period of time. Get back so much.
Immediately, Mrs. Kelly realized something and looked at Baron Charlie.
Baron Charlie seemed to be aware of Mrs. Kelly's gaze and looked at her as well. He also raised a glass full of wine and gestured to Mrs. Kelly with a smile.
Damn it! Sure enough, it was him, what good would it do him to get involved in this kind of thing.
"Thank you two young masters and madam for your hospitality. It was such a delicious dinner. I have something else to do, so I will take my leave first. Young master and madam, see you tomorrow!" Baron Charlie finished the wine in his glass and looked at Mrs. Kelly's fierce voice. In his eyes, he stood up, bowed gracefully, and stood up to say goodbye.
"Sir Charlie, walk slowly. If you are free tomorrow, I would like to talk to you about how much supplies are needed to suppress the bandits." Mrs. Kelly smiled as she saw off the guest.
"Of course, madam, I will be there." Baron Charlie nodded and walked out of the restaurant first.
Immediately afterwards, Knight Hardman also stood up and left, saying that he was going to patrol the castle and strengthen the security.
Priest Matthew, on the other hand, has been eating leisurely, and all the worldly disputes in the restaurant seem to be far away from this loyal believer.
Priest Matthew slowly put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth with a delicate napkin, and slowly stood up to say goodbye. The remaining three people sitting there also quickly stood up and returned the greeting.
Seeing Priest Matthew leave, Otto also picked up the napkin on the side and quickly wiped his lips, then hurriedly chased him out.
"Otto, wait a minute." Just as Otto was about to leave, Mrs. Karin stopped him.
"Dear Mrs. Karin, do you have any other instructions?" Although Otto was unhappy, he still had a lot of etiquette.
Mrs. Kelin looked at him, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, and then she sighed softly and said.
"Otto, my child, I don't know whose rumors you listened to tonight and said those words. You have to believe that in my heart, you are my child just like El. In When your father is not in the territory, our family must unite as one and not be instigated by others. How many people are eyeing our Algaol collar with eager eyes."
Otto looked at Mrs. Karin who looked sincere and smiled.
"Mrs. Kellyn, you are right. Our family should indeed be united, but if others want to harm me, I can't stick my neck out and wait. Don't worry, even if my father is not at home, I can still protect the territory and you. And my brother's safety.
Anyone who wants to harm me needs to see if he has the ability. "
After saying that, Otto saluted Mrs. Karin and left quickly.
At the dining table, Mrs. Kelly's face was extremely ugly, and she was holding a silver fork tightly with one hand, making the fork a little deformed.
Beside her, El, who was deaf to what was going on outside the window, turned to look at his mother aside, blinked curiously and asked:
"Mother, are you unhappy?"
Hearing this, the expression on Mrs. Kellyn's face slowly returned to normal, and she regained her familiar smile.
"No, mother is not unhappy."
"Oh." El nodded in understanding. He always felt that the atmosphere in the restaurant today was strange, but at his age, how could he understand the intrigues here.
"Mom, you eat too, you haven't eaten much." El reminded her in a low voice, looking at her mother's plate.
"Okay, okay." Mrs. Kellyn smiled fondly and touched her son's head. "You eat more and grow up faster, it will be better if you grow up faster..."
