At night, the current patriarch of the Moore family and the two men in the order of succession were imprisoned in a certain room, waiting for Oran to be punished.
Oran reintegrated the troops into the old baron's castle. The number of his soldiers reached 300, and nearly 40% of them had a weapon (armor, gun, bow or short weapon).
Contemporary smelting technology is poor and equipment is expensive.
Except for Oran himself, a few knights and the most elite retinues, no other soldiers were able to obtain full-body equipment.
After Nanding entered the city yesterday, he entered the weapons depot overnight and imprisoned the resisting defenders in the dungeon.
After Olan entered, he preached mercy and released part of it. At the same time, with the help of the verbose middle-aged priest, he accepted the confessions and atonement of this group of people.
There is also a part that Oran plans to starve for one night before releasing it.
Oran will return this castle to the Moore family, but before that, he will take away all the materials and treasures.
Oran was very careful when dining in a foreign place. When the food was served, Oran ordered the kitchen staff to test it first, then the old baron's own waiter, and then the cook brought by Oran himself.
After three times in sequence, Olan started to eat these foods.
Nanding saw all this and felt that Olan was being cautious to the point of being suspicious!
After Oran had a simple meal, he got up and went to the library in the castle.
This library is located next to the lord's worship room. It covers a large area and can accommodate twenty people to sleep, but the collection of books inside is pitiful.
Excluding theological copies and manuscripts, there are only six independent miscellaneous books.
A barony with a collection of thirty or forty old vellum books can be called a place full of wisdom!
There are not many books on the bookshelf, and you can see them all at a glance. .
"History of the Roman Emperors."
"King Arthur."
"The swordsmanship of nobles in killing enemies."
"Sword Forged Shinra."
“Territory Judgment Chronicle.
"Moore Family Chronicle."
Among these six books, Oran does not have the last three - "Sword Forged Shinra", "Territorial Judgment Chronicle", and "Moore Family Chronicle".
As an extremely devout believer, "Swords of God" was a miscellaneous book that Baron West accidentally bought when he went on a pilgrimage to Rome when he was young.
This book was written by a "scholar noble" from the Italian peninsula in 666 AD.
The scholar wrote this book while remembering the past glory of the "Roman Empire" in the ruins of the ancient castle.
It tells the story of a heroic war legend about the emergence of a "White Dragon King" 1,300 years after the Lord's calendar to eliminate heresy.
In the dark ages, barbarian invasions, broken lands, widespread diseases, and chaos in the world.
There are many miscellaneous books that hope that "Heroes will descend from heaven and Rome will rise again".
The unknown author, bizarre plot, and classical writing style have made this book lost in the long river of history.
Olan looked at it casually and found it was unremarkable, but there was a sentence at the end of the book that attracted him.
"Wherever the sun shines, my laws must be respected."
This is a really good statement.
At that time, Baron West, who was young and strong and could sleep with four women a night, also bought this book because of this sentence.
After all, who didn’t dream of becoming a king or emperor when they were young?
This book gave Oran a revelation.
After becoming the King of Britain in the future, he will also hire royal scholars to write biographies and dynasty history for himself, and issue his own character designs on currency.
Oran accepted the book and it became a collection of books in the "King of Heroes" section of his royal library.
"Territorial Judgments" are cases that happened in the old baron's own territory, so Oran doesn't have them either, but he doesn't care about them, they are just trivial matters.
"The Moore Family Chronicle" is what Oran wants to see.
The yellowed parchment has many broken thick threads, so be very careful when reading it.
This shows that the earliest book was written at least a hundred years ago.
Oran was still accompanied by a guard, this time it was Rad. Walker followed.
There were two soldiers guarding the house in full armor.
Ladd. Walker only knew a few words, but when he entered a place full of book dust, his brows were furrowed and he was mentally disturbed.
"What's so good about this crap?"
Ladd followed Oran's example and stretched out his hand to touch it. The book felt as rough as an old woman's face, with no feeling at all.
After picking it up roughly, there was a snap, and the threads of a book's cover and paper were immediately broken, and then the cover pages were scattered on the floor.
"Asshole, pick it up!"
Oran glanced over coldly. Rad bent down hard under the armor, picked it up carefully with sweat on his head, and blew on the paper several times to get rid of the dust.
"Books and texts are the crystallization of wisdom passed down by predecessors. They are the most precious things in the world. A book can be passed down for hundreds of years. Once a noble is killed, his territory will be turned upside down within a few years or a few months. , no one will miss him anymore.”
Oran cursed, but Ladd didn't dare to talk back. After picking it up, he slowly threaded the thread, but his clumsy hands made it more and more troublesome, which made him anxious.
Ever since Grandfather Rad, he has been protecting the Vijay family, and among all the vassals of Oran, he has served for the longest time overall.
Therefore, not only did he not plan to take back his two villages, Oran, he also planned to increase them.
After reading the family chronology, Oran put it back with satisfaction and said, "Listen, transport all the books back to our territory. In addition, you can select a few young men from your village to serve as my lord's retinue. This time When the war is completely over, you still get a village.”
The meaning of these words is obvious. Olan plans to re-employ Ladd. Ladd, who is afraid of Olan's blame, immediately becomes energetic again!
Ladd led the two villages. He was the one who provided the most supplies and dispatched the most soldiers during this expedition. He brought a total of sixty people to Oran.
Oran saw his loyalty and rewarded him.
An hour later, Oran walked out of the library with a smile. As an ambitious lord, the Moore family chronicle could help him a lot.
It records what major things the Moore family did in a certain year, reclaimed that piece of land, and which piece of land they have legal claim to.
It won't take long before Oran will amend these "rights" to belong to the Vijay family.
He wants to forge "claims" to achieve a clear and complete takeover.
…
This night, the moonlight was very bright.
Under the moonlight, Olan, who was dressed in white, had clear facial features and was as handsome as an angel.
The original old baron's lord's room became Oran's resting place tonight. Kunsang selected a few plump ones from among the maids, and then asked the castle's original housekeeper to bring them over to serve Oran.
Kunsang also thought that Olan liked women, but Olan was not interested in these women and said, "My plan is not over yet, bring Gazi Moore's wife here."
In less than a moment, a noble family member who was tied with a thick rope, his hands facing backward, and had to be led by someone to move forward, entered Oran's eyes.
The woman knew that this room belonged to her father, but today a new owner came, a boy two years younger than herself.
Oran looked at her, stretched out his index finger and asked the servant to push the woman closer.
When he was within touching distance, Oran said, "Kneel down."
