The Extraordinary Earl

Luther was right. Old Sol and a few old guys were staying in the small living room on the second floor, enjoying fine wine and occasionally eating desserts.

The topic is nothing more than "chaotic party" and other things.

Life in the countryside is so boring, especially in the countryside where there is nothing to do. Several knight lords are eager to go to war and fight a war.

I can't wait for the rebels to appear immediately.

Luther came to the guest room, knocked on the door, and walked in.

Old Sol glanced at his son and was about to ask about the situation. He also saw Lucy and Barton going to find Luther. He knew some things about the Barton family, but he was actually worried that his son would say some ignorant words when getting along with Lucy and Barton.

But Lucy and Barton are here to attend the banquet. There is no reason to stop Lucy. Barton goes to talk to his son. Besides, his son is also a man who will become the leader of the Pompeii family sooner or later and the next generation of Pompeii's knights. Let's get in touch with him in advance. It's good to do these things so as not to become a harmless canary.

"Dad, I want to tell you something." Before Old Sol could speak, Luther spoke first.

Old Sol nodded, put down the red wine in his hand, and said to the old guys around him: "I'll go out with Luther for a while, you can do whatever you want."

The old guys were actually like Ming Jing'er in their hearts, and smiled and let Old Sol go.

So, the father and son left the living room together and came to Old Sol's study. Old Study came to the desk and sat down, and Luther also took out his chair and sat in front of Old Saul.

"Dad, Lucy Barton said some words to me, most of which were useless, but I think there must be something hidden in them. Can you tell me?"

Luther first told Old Saul the conversation with Lucy and Barton verbatim, and then asked for advice sincerely.

After hearing this, Old Sol was very satisfied. This son was quite smart. Not only can you develop your territory, but you also have a certain political sense.

excellent.

Old Saul felt proud for a moment, and then said to Luther: "Your judgment is right. The Barton family is not at peace."

At this point, Old Sol sighed a little.

Old Saul's ambition was not as great as Luther's, and he wanted to develop Pompeii into a real aristocrat. Old Sol's ability is not mediocre, and he is considered to be relatively outstanding among the previous heads of the Pompeii family.

This does not refer to Old Sol's internal affairs ability, but to Old Sol's military force and political IQ.

Old Saul was a rigid father in front of Luther, but outside he was known for his righteousness and boldness. Below Baron Barton, he was a prestigious person among the knight lords.

For example, the five knight lords gathered at Pompeii Castle today. Their six families have been friends for generations. Among Baron Barton's vassals, hugging each other for warmth belongs to the strength of the political and military group under Baron Barton.

The heads of these six families are actually headed by Old Sol.

Golden Lion Thor.

This is a resounding name.

But although Old Sol is excellent, his ability is not extraordinary. Under normal circumstances, he can keep the Pompeii family from declining and cultivate qualified heirs.

Eventually he became a mediocre member of the family cemetery.

This is fate.

If the son Luther had not been born. Now Old Sol has no idea what kind of changes this outstanding son, who makes him proud, will bring to the Pompeii family.

All in all, Old Sol has no ability to make the Pompeii family stronger, but it will not make the Pompeii family weaker either.

No ambition.

In this way, Old Sol cherishes the current status of the Pompeii family and can safely be a vassal under Baron Barton. Isn't this great?

But the point is, the Barton family is not stable.

It's simple brothers fighting among themselves.

It's so bloody, isn't it?

The aristocratic inheritance law in this world is the primogeniture system, which is recognized by the entire Kingdom of Prussia and even other kingdoms.

Anyone who challenges this system will face pressure from the entire aristocracy.

Just like a commoner, it is very difficult to become a noble.

The senators in the House of Nobles are not vegetarians.

But there are no absolutes in the world, especially in this world with extraordinary power. The knight's own strength is the best tool to break this shackles.

Such was the case with the Pattons.

The contemporary Baron Barton is a relatively mediocre person, mediocre in all aspects. He gave birth to a total of three sons, not counting illegitimate sons.

Because that is not officially recognized.

He doesn't even have the noble surname Barton, so he can only be regarded as an outsider.

Baron Barton's eldest son was a mediocre man, like Baron himself. The second son was a libertine. It was said that he had not five but ten illegitimate children at such a young age.

Compared to the two brothers, Lucy and Barton are outstanding.

First of all, I have a wide network of contacts.

As the third son of Baron Barton, he made friends abroad. Lucy and Barton knew almost all the children of twenty or thirty aristocratic families in the entire province, and had more or less friendships with them.

The second is strength.

This Lucy Barton is only twenty years old this year, but he is already an intermediate knight. Of course, an intermediate knight is nothing.

Many sons of nobles can become intermediate knights.

Even if your qualifications are not outstanding, you can still get there by taking magic potion.

But being able to become an intermediate knight at the age of twenty, Lucy Barton is definitely a genius. I heard from others that this genius from the Barton family will definitely step into the senior knight ranks and even have the chance to become a grand knight.

The Grand Knight was already considered a big shot in the entire Kingdom of Prussia.

I have never heard of a great knight who was born as a commoner, because it is difficult for commoners to have access to magic potions, and even if they have extraordinary talents, it is difficult to change their destiny.

And a great knight, even if he is a descendant of a noble without a title, will be granted a palace title by the royal family and become a great noble of the palace.

The so-called court nobles are a class opposite to the real nobles.

They have titles and status, but no actual fiefdom. They gather around the king. They are both the king's face and the king's sword.

Although both were vassals of the king, in the eyes of the nobles in the field, the nobles in the palace were the king's wolf dogs, which was a bit annoying.

All in all, Lucy Barton's future is bright. But this Lucy, Barton's brain circuit is a little different. He seems to be a little reluctant to join the royal family and obtain a title.

But he wants the ancestral business of the Barton family to become a great noble on the ground.

After all, a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse.

A big noble in the field, even though he is only a baron, is equivalent to a king with an independent small kingdom. Even the King of Prussia cannot treat the great nobles in the field casually.

But to become a noble in the palace, it depends on the king's face.

As a result, the Barton family will have a headache.

The eldest son and the third son fought hard to inherit the title.

Mediocre but legitimate eldest son.

Illegal, but an excellent third son.

The Barton family had a headache, and the vassals of the Barton family, such as the Pompeii family and other knight lord families, naturally suffered and were affected.

Luther, Pompeii.

Look.

This is the next generation of the Pompeii family. The head of the Pompeii family in this generation, King Sol, is the Baron Baron family, the leader of six knight lord families.

Take control of a political and military group.

I have chips in my hand.
