Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 40 Wolf cub (second update)
"Hoohoo!"

Outside Pompeii Castle, in an open space.Luther was shirtless and only wore a pair of shorts.The complexion on his body is dark, and the muscles are bulging, as if poured from molten iron, full of strength.

He holds the knight sword in his hand, and dances the knight sword like a tiger.

The sun was shining brightly overhead, and the body was sweating profusely.But Luther still gritted his teeth and persisted.

Knight training.

Daily knight training, whether it is swordsmanship, riding, or grudge training.Luther did not relax for a moment, not only did he not relax, but he worked harder.

Because he knows that there is no shortcut to the knight's road.

Only two things are paid, time and sweat.

Even with the potion, without the sacrifice of these two things, what you get in return is just a flower in the mirror, just a moon in the water.

As Luther was promoted to a knight for a long time, he no longer studied under Magellan. According to Magellan, he graduated.

So now Luther is just training in this open space alone.

"Master Luther, the master is in the study, and I have something to see you." There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and little Maya came running panting, stepping on her small round-toed leather shoes.

"Do you know what happened?" Luther stopped the knight training when he heard that, and took out a towel to wipe it off.

"I don't know, but I'm in a hurry." Little Maya shook her head, her hair shaking accordingly.

"Understood." Luther wiped his body, put on his clothes, and left. As for the remaining knight swords, war horses, etc., of course, they were handed over to the personal maid.

"Slob."

Little Maya pursed her lips, and with her breastfeeding strength, she lifted the knight's sword and put it on the horse, and then led the horse back to Pompeii Castle.

After Luther returned to the castle, he immediately came to Old Sol's study.To Luther's surprise, not only old Saul was there, but also Mrs. Sophie.

Old Sol sat behind the desk, and Mrs. Sophie sat in the chair in front.

But what made Luther certain was that although Old Sol and Mrs. Sophie seemed to be thinking, the smile on their brows and eyes could not be hidden.

Guess what a good thing.

Luther thought to himself.

"Dad, Mom."

Immediately, Luther greeted.

"Luther, do you want to take a bath first?" Madam Sophie looked at Luther's appearance, and said with a little distress.Although I wiped it with a towel, I was still sweating continuously.

At this moment, Luther's clothes were wet with sweat.

Seeing Luther who was training harder than before, Mrs. Sophie felt both proud and distressed.

This son is very hardworking.

"No need for mom, it's good. I'll continue training later." Luther shook his head, then sat on another chair, raised his right leg on top of his left, and asked: "What's the matter, so anxious?"

"Good thing." Madam Sophie showed a smile on her face.

Even old Solburn's rigid and serious cheeks now bloomed with a smile like a flower.

Old Sol took out a letter and said to Luther: "This is a letter from the shield who runs a store in Excelle City. In the past month, one hundred barrels of Pompeii wine have been sold, and the cost has been thrown out, making a profit." Seventy gold coins. On the one hand, he urged us to speed up the delivery of Pompeii wine, and on the other hand, he suggested that we expand the scale. Because Pompeii wine was developed by you, we want to ask your opinion."

Luther's eyes lit up when he heard the words. He knew that Pompeii wine was a treasure, and it could produce a steady stream of gold coins for the Pompeii family.But I didn't expect Pompeii wine to be so popular.

The small city of Excelle has already had such a large sales volume before it radiates to the entire barony.

When the market is fully opened, it will be a mountain of gold and silver.

Now Luther's head is full of gold coins, and there are gold coins flying in front of him.

It seemed to turn into two little golden angels, flying around in front of his eyes.

Cool!
But Luther calmed down quickly, because after all, he was someone who wanted to do big things.

Luther thought for a while, and said: "It is necessary to expand production. I believe that Pompeii wine will become even more popular. Immediately increase production tenfold."

Speaking of this, Luther paused, and then said: "As for the money earned, in addition to expanding production. I discussed with my mother at the beginning, part of which will be used to buy potions for me, part of it will be stored, and part of it will be used to recruit vagrants. Knight, increase the strength of the territory. Now I think this matter should be put on the agenda."

Old Sol was a little surprised when he heard the words, looked up at one of his wives, frowned and said, "You never mentioned this to me."

Mrs. Sophie was also taken aback when she heard the words, but she forgot to tell Old Sol about it.

Old Sol looked at his wife, then raised his head and said to his eldest son, "This money is your idea, and most of the profit can be given to you. I agree with buying potions, after all, I also hope that your knighthood will go on." But what is the use of recruiting wandering knights? Although there are rebellious parties in the kingdom from time to time, the province is still very safe. There is no need for our Pompeii family to raise these unnecessary combat forces."

Luther agreed with Old Saul's statement.

At present, the Kingdom of Prussia is still very stable. The king is the lord and holds a lot of land, resources, and troops.The current power composition of the Kingdom of Prussia is the power of the royal family headed by the king.

There are also the king's vassals, those nobles with real titles.

These two forces.

As for the civilians who want to overthrow the kingdom and establish a fairer Prussian kingdom, they claim to be a new party and are called a chaotic party by the nobles, but their strength is actually very weak.

Under such circumstances, the contemporary leader of the Pompeii family, Sol, Pompeii is a person who has no ambition to develop upwards, so he is naturally not interested in expanding his combat power.

Luther, of course, had his own rhetoric.

"Father, we don't lack combat power in Pompeii now. But as Pompeii wine is famous in Prussia, the huge wealth will attract many people's prying eyes. We need combat power to protect ourselves."

Luther said righteously.

Old Sol smiled disapprovingly, and said: "The baron will protect us. And we only need to pay the baron a little tax. If the baron can't protect us, then we can't do it ourselves. What's the use of recruiting a few knights?"

Luther also admitted that Saul was right.

As the lord, the Pompeii family will serve the Barton family.In turn, the Bartons will protect the Pompeys.Even if the Pompeii family owns such a large property, the Patton family must protect the Pompeii family.

Because if the Barton family can't protect the Pompeii family, they will lose the prestige of the lord.How could other vassals still be loyal to the Barton family?
As for paying taxes to the Barton family, that's what it should be.

After all, the Pompeii family had to pay commercial tax for their business activities in Excelle City.If the Pompeii family expanded their business and traded in the territories of other nobles, they would also have to pay taxes.

And if the Barton family can't protect the Pompey family, then the Pompeii family recruited some knights to protect themselves?
In Old Sol's view, that was impossible.

Pompeii's house is too small, like ants compared to Barton's house.

However, Luther raised his head, looked at Old Sol and said, "Father, although Pompeii's family is now an ant, Pompeii will not be an ant forever. Expanding the combat power of knights is only the first step. After the profit increases, I also plan to buy serfs, recruit free people to Pompeii to reclaim wasteland, and expand the guards. Pompeii has been here for hundreds of years, and it has always been so small. Now is an opportunity, and I want to run it."

For the first time, Luther showed his ambition to Old Saul, the leader of this generation of the Pompey family.

A nobleman who doesn't want to be a great nobleman is not a good nobleman.

He Luther, Pompey, is definitely a restless guy.
