Chapter 3 The Filint Family of the Flint Finger
Northern Territory, Flint's Finger Castle, Castle Restaurant
"Uh! I'm fine, I...I'm fine, thank you..."
The young man who was questioned by Ed suddenly became hesitant after hearing Ed's words, and his answers also became a little hasty, as if he had thought of something terrible.
p>
Originally, the young man wanted to thank Ed for his concern, but after he glanced at the glare from the middle-aged man opposite, the young man was so frightened that he shut his mouth.
The look this guy looked at Ed was very complex, with a mix of fear, reverence and a trace of inexplicable fear. It was the kind of fear one would have when seeing a savage beast, and it also came from some indescribable memory in his blood.
After Ed heard the other party's answer, he ignored this strange cheap cousin and walked directly to his main seat. After Ed sat down, the head maid, Aunt Tansy, immediately
Then a breakfast that only belongs to Ed was served.
The breakfast was not sumptuous, consisting of a piece of rough-made white bread, a piece of sausage, two fried eggs, and a piece of milk in a silver cup. When the food was served, the fishy smell of the sausage was still there.
The smell of milk instantly filled Ed's nose.
Although Aunt Tansy, the head maid, very thoughtfully added honey as a decoration and tried to cover up the original taste of these foods, the soul in Ed's body came from a modern world that was very developed in all aspects, especially
After experiencing the baptism of various spices from Blue Star Modern, Ed still instinctively has a certain resistance to these foods.
Although the original tongue and nose can adapt to this taste and breath, there is still a trace of resistance deep in Ed's soul, and this trace of resistance is very well absorbed by the person who is staring at Ed.
The middle-aged man discovered it.
"What, does the food in our Philint's Finger not suit your taste? My dear nephew, or do you simply despise the food here?"
The middle-aged man who spoke was Ed's cheap uncle Rickard Flint. Because he had a long scar on his face, he was also called "Scar" Rickard, and the reason why he was like this
His hostility to Ed is entirely because he believes that it was Ed who took away the position of lord that should have belonged to him.
"Scar" Rickard eagerly came to the castle to wait after Eddard's cheap family members died, but what he waited for was a letter of appointment from the royal family of Winterfell and King's Landing and Eddard, who had returned from the south.
’s little nephew.
The two people opposite "Scar" Rickard are his two sons, the eldest son Brandon Flint and the youngest son Bran Flint.
The eldest son Brandon Filint is very tall, and his bloodline may come from his mother who is an Amber family. There are rumors that everyone in the Amber family near the Great Wall has the blood of a giant. Each of these Ambers has the blood of a giant.
They are all good players on the battlefield.
Brandon Flint has dark brown curly hair, light green eyes full of the same mockery as his father, and his beard is as thick as his father. Except for his height and scar, this guy is almost
He is an enlarged version of "Scar" Rickard. The residents of Flint's Finger generally call him "Brandon the Bear".
There are rumors that "Big Bear" Brandon once had a female bear in the wild. Although he himself strongly denied this rumor, the residents of Flint's Finger said that they have noses and eyes. This is to a certain extent.
It proves that he has strong "capital".
The younger brother of "Big Bear" Brandon, Bran Flint, is not as "powerful" as him. Bran Flint is almost as old as Ed.
He didn't have a bachelor, so he couldn't remember the exact day when his two sons were named, and even their ages were only approximate.
The younger son, Bran Flint, is introverted, with a body shape similar to Ed's, a bit thinner. This guy looks even thinner than Ed, and his appearance is similar to his father, but he is shy.
The shy young man is not as tough as his father "Scar" Rickard looks.
Bran Flint's long black and gray hair was grown to his shoulders, and he had freckles on his face. His green eyes glanced at his father and brother from time to time, as if he wanted to persuade them not to contradict Ed.
p>
It's just that Bran's character is too cowardly, which makes him dare not say words of persuasion at all. It is precisely because of this that Bran got the nickname "Domestic Cat" Bran.
After Ed heard Uncle Cheap's words, he immediately stopped grabbing the bread and glanced sideways at "Scar" Rickard, who was talking nonsense to him.
"My dear uncle, if I remember correctly, my father seems to have entrusted you with the management of the mines in the western mountains, but... why don't you fulfill your duties? Or are you?
Already planning to give up your responsibilities?"
"I...I, you..."
"Scar" Rickard's face suddenly turned ugly after hearing Ed's words. He didn't know what to say for a moment. Although he wanted to refute what Ed said, the words came to his mouth.
But Bian didn’t know how to refute.
Ed today was completely different from what he remembered. After "Scar" Rickard was choked, he just stood there blankly, not knowing what to do.
Most of the blood of the people of the North comes from the ancestors of Westeros during the Heroic Era, so their character is also very forthright, and they like to be straightforward in everything they do. The reason why "Scar" Rickard mocked Ai
Ed, it was entirely because he was unhappy, but he had obviously forgotten Ed’s current identity.

"I know what you really want, and I know what you really want to express, but now I want to tell you that I have obtained the rights of the Stark family of Winterfell and the Baratheon family of the royal family of King's Landing.
Approved.
Now I own the ownership of this castle and the surrounding territory. I am the vassal arranged by the Stark family in the Finger of Flint, and I am also the only owner of this territory. Do you understand?"
When Ed said these last few words, his voice unconsciously raised a few points. At the same time, he stood up from his seat at the right time. This was an action and way of speaking that he had trained for a long time. Now Ed
De was completely free of the helplessness and hesitation he felt when he first arrived, and his tone was full of confidence.
Ever since Ed understood what kind of world he came to, he has been thinking about how to manage his subordinates and territory. Although his status as a liberal arts student did not bring him the aura of physical and chemical knowledge, but on the Blue Star
The study of historical knowledge and the accumulation of cultural knowledge make Ed's temperament completely different from these guys, which invisibly brings a hint of contempt for the natives of other worlds in his words.
Ed's clear and well-founded words stunned his three cheap relatives. For a moment, everyone in the restaurant area unconsciously stopped what they were doing.
p>
Due to his initial discomfort and ulterior motives, Ed has been hiding in the main castle since he entered the Flint Finger castle, and handed over everything to the management of Bachelor Albert. Some people think that
He is sad for the loss of his family, while people like "Scar" Rickard and others think that Ed is cowardly.
But at this moment, after hearing Ed's words that were like a royal declaration, everyone subconsciously chose to listen and be convinced. In fact, this was not because of Ed's halo blessing.
It's because the thinking of this era is like this. The king's family and the guardian family of the seven kingdoms represent most of the authority and truth, although the current royal family only won the throne through the "Usurper's War".
p>
However, the current king Robert Baratheon is a brother-in-law with Eddard Stark, the guardian of the North. The two grew up together. They raised their troops to rebel against the former Targaryen due to the "Wrong Spring" incident.
The royal family, it can be said that the reason why Robert Baratheon could become king was inseparable from the support of the powerful force in the North, which occupies nearly half of Westeros.
"I...we just came back to rest for a while, no..."
After "Scar" Rickard saw Ed's almost declaration-like words, he didn't know how to answer Ed for a while, and could only stumble and speak vague words.
"Since there is no problem, let's start enjoying today's breakfast!"
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Li Ang directly ordered the three cheap relatives around him to start enjoying breakfast. "Scar" Rickard and his son nodded unconsciously after hearing Ed's order.
Maybe they didn't even notice that they no longer had the arrogance they had at the beginning, and they looked like Ed's retainers.
The breakfast lasted for almost half an hour. After the breakfast, "Scar" Rickard stood up and asked Ed to resign. However, Ed did not agree to them. Instead, he ordered all the important people in the castle to resign.
The character goes to the main castle meeting hall for a meeting.
The family castle pointed by Filint was built on a cliff by the sea. It covers an area of about 10,000 square meters, almost as big as a small football field on Blue Star. The castle consists of a main castle, a central square, and an outer city wall.
It consists of stables, blacksmith shop, armory, godswood and other buildings.
This castle combines the architectural styles of the Ancestors and the Andals. The mixed architecture of circular walls and towers makes the style of this castle a bit strange.
The main building here in the main castle has a total of seven floors, three underground floors and four above ground floors. The three underground floors are cellars used to store food. When the Flint family was first established, they would not accept prisoners. They would only
The enemy's heart was dug out and hung on the heart tree in the godswood, so after the castle was built, no prison was built in the cellar.
The first floor of the castle is the kitchen, dining hall and banquet hall. The second floor is the guest room. There are many rooms in it. "Scar" Rickard and his family live in it. Each guest room has an independent fireplace.
The third floor of the castle is the parliament hall, the family armory and treasure room are here, and some materials and items related to the territory are also stored here. The fourth floor is the master bedroom, the library and the crow room.
There are two towers on the main castle, a large tower and a small tower. The large tower has only one room. This room is sometimes used to imprison family members who have made mistakes. Now it has been transformed by Ed into his exclusive library.
room and reference room.
There are two buildings in another small tower. This is where Ed used to write. The room on the top floor is a watchtower and lighthouse. At night, whale oil lamps are lit here, and special glass reflective equipment is used to illuminate merchant ships.
Show the direction to the fishing boats.
At night, it is very warm on the small tower, which is why Ed chose to write materials here. Since it will be very cold here at night, northerners like Ed who grew up in the south are also very
It’s hard to adapt to this strange weather.
And soon, Ed saw the heads of various departments in the castle in the council hall on the third floor. The functions of the castles in this world are similar to those of Blue Star's medieval castles. The only difference is that in Westeros continent
Most of the castles will have godswood.
After everyone lined up in two rows and stood in front of Ed's throne, Ed habitually turned his head to look at Bachelor Albert. When Ed replaced the original owner's body, he drifted at sea for about 10 days, and after coming
After arriving at the castle, I have been hiding in the superstructure of the main castle, hiding here for the past few days in the name of being sick.
These people present had already met Ed under the introduction of Bachelor Albert when he arrived at the castle. However, due to the long time, Ed has forgotten many of them.
Most of the people in the Flint family's castle are men. The castle manager is named Billy Blackwood, who is a descendant of the Blackwood family who came with Ed's mother. He has been working in the Flint family for 18 years.<
/p>
The tax collector's name is Belis. It is said that he is a noble who escaped from King's Landing. Because he is literate, he was hired by Ed's cheap father as a tax collector. What is interesting is that this guy was hired after the "Usurper War"
He ran over here, so there are also rumors in the territory that he is a noble from an old dynasty, but he fled to the north because he was unwilling to be loyal to the new king.
Then there is Ed's guard captain and castle instructor Arthur Shidong, a valley knight from the south of Westeros. Although the knight believes in the Seven Gods, the Stark family in the north has accepted it since he was a child.
Because of the orthodox knight education in the valley, the nobles in the north will not discriminate against these knights. On the contrary, many noble families will recruit some wandering knights to serve as castle instructors or guard captains.
Then there are the blacksmith Black, the kennel master Doug, the arsenal manager Lemon and the chef Apple in Ed's castle. These people are Ed's main team. At some point, Ed, the lord, also serves as a judge.
Responsibilities.
Although the seven kingdoms in Westeros have sound laws, most of the people in the territories are illiterate and many people only agree with the lord's judgment. Therefore, Ed often has to manage the trivial matters in the territory.
trivia.
"Okay, now let's start the first castle meeting of the Filint family!"
