The Extraordinary Earl

Luther knew a long time ago that in order to gain status, two factors must be present, financial resources and force. These two factors are complementary to each other.

What happened to the Barton family this time made Luther understand this even more.

If Old Sol hadn't suddenly come over, even if their vassal knights were able to break out, they would have suffered heavy damage.

Lady Sophie.

Uncle Lipton, cousin Newton.

No one knows how many people will die in that civil strife.

This is an extraordinary world where the power of individuals becomes extremely powerful. The power of order will be relatively weak.

Just like the United States in the previous life, when people had guns, shootings would occur frequently.

It was like Baron Barton was hit by a magic cannon and his body was completely gone.

If there was no powerful force to protect him, not to mention Pompeii, even his own life, might turn into dust in a painless moment.

The internal strife in the Barton family made Luther realize this more deeply.

Therefore, you must make money, and while making money, you must turn the money into your own combat power. When it comes to expanding combat power, nothing is more suitable than expanding dad's combat power.

A great knight, even a parallel importer, is still a big shot in Orange and can be a powerful deterrent.

On the contrary, among the ten high-ranking knights put together, none of the great knights was intimidating.

Of course, a normal force should be pyramid-shaped. There are both top-level combat capabilities, as well as middle-level and bottom-level combat capabilities.

Pompeii in the future should also be equipped with a small number of high-level knights and a large number of junior and intermediate knights.

But the problem is that the Pompeii family currently has no knights they can trust. Just like the guardian knights of the Barton family, each family of guardian knights has served the Barton family for at least a hundred years.

Hisoka and Ruffin may have considered the future of the Barton family, so he chose to let Lucy and Barton become the new Baron Barton.

But one has to deny that the guardian knights betrayed their duties and the laws of the nobility. This led to internal strife in the Barton family and caused great harm to the Barton family.

These families may also make such moves under these circumstances.

Not to mention the hastily recruited knights.

Loyalty is not guaranteed.

Luther will build a supernatural school in the future to cultivate his own extraordinary power. Whether he is a commoner or a noble, as long as he receives education in Pompeii's school, he will have natural loyalty to Pompeii.

But Luther did not yet have so much funds to push Pompeii's education to a higher level. Under such circumstances, it is a good choice to spend all your money to train your father to become an elite knight, or even a knight.

As long as there is top combat power, even if this force is extremely weak, it can still become a top force.

"Don't worry, Dad, money is not a problem." Luther put his arm around Old Sol's shoulders and said with a relaxed smile.

"You kid, you're neither old nor young." Old Sol couldn't laugh or cry and slapped Luther's hand away.

Soon after, the father and son got off the roof and went to do their own things.

…………….

On the way to the Golden City.

Wrong, it should be on the road from Kaiyue City to Golden City. Because if you don’t explain it clearly, you won’t be able to tell the difference.

All avenues in Orange can lead to the Golden City.

It is winter now, the time when the depths of winter are about to pass and spring is about to arrive. Too cold, too cold. So there are not many travelers on the road.

Pompeii's team was very large.

It consisted of 250 carts, corresponding cartmen, a team of 500 guards, and 20 knights. Among them, even the senior knight of Orange Hot Spring Resort, Knight Smith, was temporarily borrowed by Luther.

Because the entire Orange is filled with various thieves groups, if there are no high-level knights in charge, such a large team will be robbed many times along the way to the Golden City.

However, in order to prevent some powerful thieves groups from spying on this team. Luther also displayed the coat of arms of the Pompeii family, which is ridiculous.

Now the Pompeii family has a certain reputation throughout Orange, not only because of the Autumn Wind Bandits incident and the Orange Hot Spring Resort incident, but also because of the Pompeii family's great knight, Thor, Pompeii.

No one offends a great knight easily.

The thieves are all bullies.

In the black carriage, the only carriage in the team, Luther put down a document in his hand.

This is a law just promulgated by the Count of Libya, Consul of Orange, concerning wine.

Before this, Luther had always been worried that Pompeii wine had no technical content and did not require super high winemaking technology or excellent winemakers.

The current Pompeii wine is definitely not as good as the high-end liquor from Luther's previous life, such as Moutai. To sum it up, the current Pompeii wine should be equivalent to the low-end liquor produced by the assembly lines in the previous life.

The only thing is strong.

For such low-end liquor, if someone wants to peek into the technology, the chance of theft is 100%. Fortunately, no one had done this before.

The Count of Libya promulgated this law not long ago, requiring all famous wines with names to be registered in the Golden City. Once officially registered, they will be protected by the Count of Libya.

Anyone who steals technology or counterfeits alcohol will be attacked by the official forces of the entire Orange.

Liquor property rights were protected by the Count of Libya.

But this was not the result of Luther's activities. It was a law promulgated by the Libyan count and many great nobles after consultation.

Because in the entire Orange, the largest red wine production workshops belong to the big nobles. From top wines to ordinary wines, they are almost monopolized by the nobles.

Protecting wine property rights is equivalent to protecting their own interests.

Luther's Pompeii wine took this ride and became a wine protected by all the nobles of Orange. In this way, Luther no longer has to worry about his technology being stolen.

Before the opening of the Orange Hot Spring Resort, Luther hoped to earn enough funds to expand the Pompeii family's combat power during this period, mainly to increase his father's combat power and protect himself.

So this time Luther led a huge team, with five thousand barrels of Pompeii wine, to the Golden City to develop the market.

Now with the law officially promulgated by the Count of Libya, Luther would be really sorry for himself if he didn't sell Pompeii wine to every corner of Orange.

But Luther is planning to change the model of selling alcohol a little bit.

Luther planned to invent a model of selling alcohol that had never been seen before in this world. With a view to selling Pompeii wine to every corner of Orange within a short period of time.

The reason why we chose Golden City as our first stop is because Golden City is the economic center of the entire Orange. If Pompeii wine opens up in Orange, then the markets in other cities will also easily open up.

Golden City is so awesome.

Pompeii is still far behind.
