The Extraordinary Earl

Pompeii Territory.

The rising sun shone with gentle sunshine, illuminating the entire territory. The Pompeii Castle seemed to be dyed with gold, and it looked golden.

In Luther's room.

The bed had been replaced with a wooden bed, with a thin blanket and a pillow on it. Luther was lying on the bed in his shorts, sleeping soundly, with the windows and door open.

Because the summer and autumn seasons in Pompeii Territory were too hot, Luther needed necessary ventilation.

The sunlight shone in through the window and onto Luther's legs. At that moment, Luther had actually woken up, but because the morning was a leisurely time and there was not much going on in the territory recently, Luther decided to sleep in.

Not long after, Luther felt his nostrils itchy, and Luther opened his eyes helplessly.

What came into view was a delicate little loli.

Lily, Pompeii, this little loli was lying on the bed, with a piece of grass she had taken from somewhere in her hand, sweeping it outside her nostrils.

Seeing Luther wake up, Lily smiled happily.

"Big lazy bug."

Luther rolled his eyes, sat up from the bed, hugged Lily, and put her under the bed. Then he got off the bed, put on his shoes and started to dress.

"Lily, you are a lady from a noble family, you should be reserved, reserved. It's not ladylike to come to a man's room early in the morning."

Luther said while getting dressed.

"Who wants to be a lady? I, Lily, will become a female knight sooner or later, and I will be stronger than Luther and Pompey. When the time comes, I will ask Luther to go east, and he will not dare to go west."

Lily straightened her chest and said proudly.

"In one year and two months, I will be eight years old." Lily added quickly.

Luther's eyes have completely become hygiene eyes, since he promised this little loli last time that he would teach her knight training when she was eight years old.

This little loli came to wake her up every day, and kept reminding Luther that she has grown up day by day.

Stingy, vindictive, and persistent.

The little girl named Lily is definitely not to be trifled with.

However, Luther occasionally dispatched this little girl. After putting on his clothes, Luther said to her, "Lily, help me call little Maya over."

"Oh." Little Loli didn't realize that she was dispatched. She went to call Lily over as if she was helping a friend.

Soon, the cute little Maya came in a maid outfit and small round-toed leather shoes.

But little Maya still had a stern face. If she smiled, she would be very cute.

"Little Maya, I want two large pieces of bread, two cups of milk, and three steaks for breakfast." Luther said quickly.

"Okay, I'll go to the kitchen right away." Little Maya nodded, and then ran away quickly in her small round-toed leather shoes.

What a serious and responsible little maid.

"Lily, you should go to cultural classes, right?" Luther reminded Lily after little Maya left.

Without realizing that she was being disliked, Lily remembered that she still had to go to class, and hurriedly said to Luther: "Luther, goodbye."

After saying that, she ran away.

Luther felt that his ears were much quieter. Exhaling a breath, Luther stretched, then washed up, and ate breakfast with the help of little Maya.

Then Luther came to his study and read a book for a while.

Because he didn't have cultural classes, the morning was Luther's free time. If there was anything in the territory, Luther would deal with it first.

Of course, most of them were nothing, and even if there was something, Lelouch would deal with it. So Luther was very leisurely in the morning and read books.

At this moment, Luther was reading a knight novel.

It was a very routine novel, about a wandering knight who rescued a princess from a dragon, became the princess's husband, and was canonized as an earl by the king.

Old-fashioned.

But from it, Luther could still understand the dragons in this world.

It was quite useful.

"Knight Luther, Knight Brazil is back with a team of five or six hundred freemen. Mayor Lelouch wants you to go to the City Hall."

At this time, a guard came in.

Because he became a formal knight and took charge of the entire Pompeii Territory. As the next generation of Pompeii knights respected by the territory.

Except for close people, outsiders all call Luther Knight Luther.

"Okay." Luther nodded and sent the guard away. Then Luther took a black hat from the hanger and put it on, went downstairs, left Pompeii Castle and arrived at the City Hall.

In Lelouch's office, Luther met Lelouch and Knight Brazil.

The Knight Brazil is a young man with an ordinary appearance but a strong physique. His surname is Solon. He is Luther's cousin, Newton, and Solon's clan.

According to seniority, Luther should call Knight Brazil his brother.

However, Luther is currently the next generation of Pompeii knights, and Knight Brazil is the guard knight of the Pompeii family. Both sides are monarchs and ministers.

"Knight Luther." The Brazilian Knight saluted Luther first.

"Knight Brazil, you have worked hard." Luther returned the salute and said thank you for your hard work.

Then, Luther asked the Brazilian Knight to sit down, and he also took out a chair and sat down. After sitting down, Luther asked: "How is Knight Stone's work? Is it going well?"

"It went quite smoothly. It was easy to obtain permission from the Parker family to recruit free people in the city of Sparta. However, the territory of the Parker family is currently very chaotic due to the actions of Marquis Parker. There are many people who have no fields and no freedom to work. civil."

The Brazilian knight briefly told Luther what happened.

Luther nodded, "Ston, Pompeii, is indeed the strongest and most experienced knight among the knights of the Pompeii family who are currently making a living outside."

For overseas assignments, it is definitely the first choice.

"Just because the Pompeii Territory is close to the forest, the free people are more doubtful about the Pompeii Territory's ability to defend against attacks by monsters and dragons. The recruitment work can only be done gradually. The first batch is 532 people, not counting Child. The Knight of Stone plans to recruit six to seven thousand people in the Parker territory, and then go to another earl's territory to buy three to four thousand serfs. "

The Brazilian knight said again.

After Luther heard about it, he was not surprised. Because this is a fact, even within this year, Pompeii is very safe.

But in fact, since the establishment of the Pompeii Territory, it has been accompanied by bloodshed.

Warcraft, giant dragons, and even some humanoid races in the forest will appear from time to time. There were even many times when the Pompeii castle was breached.

It happened many times over a long period of hundreds of years.

Therefore, although the Pompeii family owned this territory and had the right to expand into the forest, the size of the territory never increased.

important reason.

The most powerful time for the Pompeii family should be now.

Sixteen knights in total.
