The Extraordinary Earl

Luther divided the gold coins into two parts outside the castle and asked Steward Feilun to command the guards. The male servants moved the gold coins and potions into the castle. Then Luther arrived at the city hall with the remaining 100,000 gold coins.

Luther found an official from the Ministry of Finance and asked the official to move the gold coins into the vault of the city hall. Then Luther walked up to the mayor's office on the second floor with a stunned look on the official's face.

Found the leader of Pompeii City, Mayor Lelouch.

"Hum hum."

Pompeii has been developing very smoothly recently. As residents continue to settle in, the empty spaces in the city are constantly being filled, and new real estate development plans are being implemented.

It can be said that going to Luther was a big worry in Lelouch's heart. Mr. Mayor is also a little leisurely. He is leaning on his chair, tapping the table with his right hand and humming some kind of music.

Luther, William, and Old Saul did not have literary and artistic qualities, but the nobles in this world generally have literary qualities.

Lelouch, Teacher Qiao Xiu, Mary, and Mrs. Sophie all know music.

Mary, Lelouch's music was taught by Mr. Qiao Xiu.

"Hey, our great mayor is going to compose a new piano song?" Luther said in a teasing tone.

"Luther, you are also a student taught by my father. How come you can't even understand the classic cello, "Philips's Melody", and you also play new piano music."

Lelouch rolled his eyes and straightened his posture.

"Is this a cello piece?" Luther was a little surprised, but he didn't feel embarrassed. He shrugged and came to sit down at the desk and said, "You know, my music knowledge has been returned to the teacher a long time ago."

"You are just a cunning businessman, a shrewd lord, and a strong knight." Lelouch nodded with great understanding.

After a relaxed conversation, Luther got to the point. He looked at Lelouch with a strange look, and then said: "Dear senior, I am rich."

Luther wanted to play a trick on Lelouch.

"It's not Mousse. Gandall was murdered. You happened to be at the scene, so you were banned by the Baron for a period of time? How did you get rich?"

Lelouch was a little surprised.

"Some lucky people can get gold coins falling from the sky even if they drink water." Luther shrugged and said with a look of shame.

When Lelouch heard this tone, he knew that Luther was really rich. The finances of the city hall have improved recently, but to develop a city, finances are still very tight.

So Lelouch became more serious and asked, "How did you get rich? How much did you get?"

"On my way back to Pompeii, I found a puddle on the edge of the deep forest road. Out of curiosity, I sent guards to dig out, and they found two hundred thousand gold coins. Among them, one hundred thousand gold coins, I kept for the family. The rest. I brought one hundred thousand gold coins."

Luther said in a relaxed and cheerful tone, and crossed his legs.

"One hundred thousand gold coins!!!!!"

Lelouch exploded on the spot.

Mrs. Sophie had never owned so many gold coins in her life, but she had seen it last time when Knight Ston returned with a bounty.

And Lelouch had never seen it, let alone owned it.

That's a lot of money.

This young senior has been pretending to be mature since he became the mayor, leaving behind two very funny beards.

Their behavior and behavior also tend to be mature.

But at this moment, he was as excited as a child. He suddenly got up from his seat and walked back and forth in the office.

"One hundred thousand gold coins, I can do so many things, so many things." Mr. Mayor continued to mutter.

Luther crossed his legs, comfortably admiring the senior who was pretending to be mature, showing such a posture.

"Luther, I'm going to build an opera house, a circus venue, and I'm going to hire an artist to add an artistic statue to Pompeii Square."

Lelouch returned to the chair and sat down, crossed his hands on the desk, and said seriously.

Pompeii Square is a square in front of Pompeii Castle, specially designed for citizens to walk and relax. The place is big enough, but Lelouch doesn't like it at all.

I think it lacks artistic flavor.

As a future mayor, Lelouch has always been very romantic.

He hopes that Pompeii in the future will be both prosperous and full of art. It's like a golden city, like a royal capital.

The city is full of artistic statues and grandly designed squares.

There are several large opera houses, higher music schools, painting, literature and poetry schools. All in all, we want to make the whole city full of artistic atmosphere.

As for the circus, Lelouch had never thought about a circus before, but since the last circus performance received unprecedented support, he also felt that several performance venues should be designed in the future Pompeii city.

This is also what Luther needs.

A metropolis that is both prosperous in commerce and full of art.

Who doesn't like that?

After all, what is an artist? Artists are what the aristocrats and the middle class play. A city with an artistic atmosphere can attract the aristocrats and the middle class to settle down.

And these people often carry a lot of wealth.

this is very good.

Whether it is a school, an opera house, or a circus, Luther will leave it to the city hall to run it and will not include it within the scope of the family business.

"These infrastructure constructions should be put on the agenda, but the scale of the circus must be large. I'm afraid the current city cannot accommodate it."

Luther smiled and agreed, but also expressed his opinion.

"Then build the opera house inside the city and the circus outside the city. Pompeii is going to expand anyway, and now it's just expanding in advance."

Lelouch said without hesitation.

"Okay, you can spend the 100,000 gold coins however you want. There is only one purpose, to make Pompeii a better place." Luther said with a smile.

"Don't worry Luther, because Pompeii is our cause and our child. I will use my life's efforts to build a great city."

Lelouch said firmly, his face filled with excitement.

He is a romantic person who is willing to risk his own life to pursue his dreams. He is also a trustworthy and respected partner.

Looking at Lelouch's expression, Luther felt that he should celebrate. He took down the red wine from the side of the office, along with two wine glasses.

I opened the red wine myself and filled two wine glasses.

"Regards, Pompeii."

Then Luther raised his glass and clinked it with Lelouch.

"Regards, Pompeii."

Lelouch smiled broadly and drank a drink with Luther.

An ambitious lord, an ambitious mayor, two equally ambitious people working together, Pompeii is destined to be better.

Two hundred thousand gold coins came at the right time.
