The Extraordinary Earl

"ah."

Arnold made a soft noise. Because he was weak, it sounded like a groan. Arnold was not only seriously injured, but also had a fever.

At this moment, Arnold opened his eyes helplessly and stared blankly at the sky.

He didn't even have the strength to turn his head. He really wanted to see the forest on both sides of the road. As the Kurdish thief, Arnold's favorite thing is Pompeii.

Because this is my hometown, my hometown.

As long as you stay here, you can find peace of mind. I will also recall the joy of being a civilian when I was a child.

Really, Arnold was very happy when he was little.

As he gradually lost consciousness, pages of memories opened up in his mind, like a book, and finally settled on Arnold's childhood.

Sitting on a pile of hay in the village were two little boys. A little boy is very stout, this is Arnold. The other little boy is very thin, this is Ajin.

Akin is Arnold's friend.

"Arnold, I want to become a knight." Akin swung his short legs with a look of determination on his face.

"Knight? Only the lord's family and the Iron Horse family can produce knights. We are commoners and will never become knights."

Arnold looked at his friend blankly, wondering what his friend was going crazy about.

knight?

That's like a star, out of reach.

"That's not necessarily true. I heard that outside Pompeii, there are many knights from civilian families. Although they have no surnames, they have power that can rival the noble knights. As long as I become a knight and gain extraordinary and powerful power, I can If you are sick, I can play with you."

Ajin said hopefully.

This is a sad story. Ajin is a frail and sickly child. Arnold is Akin's only friend. Ajin hopes to play with Arnold.

Become a knight, become a powerful knight and you will be healthy.

This is Akin's idea.

"Well, we will become knights together in the future." Arnold said immediately after hearing this.

"It's agreed."

"It's agreed."

The two little boys linked their fingers together and made an oath.

The scene changes.

It was a gloomy rainy day. Some people were wearing black clothes, carrying a small coffin, and heading towards the distant cemetery.

The sound of crying could be heard in the patter of raindrops. Among them is Arnold.

Ah Jin died. This frail and sickly child died in the summer.

Arnold was alone ever since.

When Arnold was young, he walked out of Pompeii and eventually became the thief Kurd. His purpose was very clear, to become a knight and walk on a powerful and extraordinary road.

Going farther and farther, farther and farther.

Eventually, Arnold became an intermediate knight.

And in Arnold's hometown, Pompeii territory. Among the Pompeian knights of the past, the most powerful were only the intermediate knights.

As a young man with a commoner background, Arnold completed an incredible counterattack.

The memory pictures turned over page by page, and finally settled on a few days ago.

Arnold walked out of Pompeii again a few months ago, with the purpose of selling off the stolen goods and getting rid of the hot Book of Sages. Of course there is another reason.

The Pompeii family gradually became stronger, with more and more knights. Arnold became more and more uncomfortable staying in Pompeii's territory, and was very worried that his identity would be revealed, and he might not be able to leave by then.

Only by quickly disposing of the Book of Sages, obtaining unimaginable wealth, and obtaining a supply of potions, will Arnold choose to return to Pompeii and plan to be promoted to a senior knight.

As long as he reaches the realm of senior knights and has an extraordinary status in the huge Prussian kingdom, Arnold will give up his Kurdish identity and choose to become a noble.

Go to the royal capital, seek refuge with the king, and find a way to become a court noble.

This is a long-term plan.

But the Kurds fell into trouble, at the hands of a betrayer.

In a very windy, very fast, very cold weather. In a dense forest, Arnold was covered in wounds. He was exhausted and panting.

There are knights all around, exuding bursts of chilling aura.

The leader is an intermediate knight, Arnold's friend.

"Arnold, you are injured. It is impossible to escape under such a lineup. Obediently offer the Book of Sages and I will give you a pleasure."

Arnold's friend said this.

"Don't even think about it."

This was Arnold's answer. He was panting, but extremely determined.

What followed was a brutal fight and an escape. In the end, Arnold escaped. With the powerful fighting ability gained from many years of being a thief, Arnold escaped.

But the fuel was exhausted, and before his death, Arnold returned to his hometown.

Pompeii.

And Arnold intends to pray for this generation of Pompeii knights, one thing.

"I hope I can make it to Pompeii Castle and meet the Knights of Pompeii." Arnold's body was very, very cold. He wanted to reach out and touch the Book of Sages in his arms, but he couldn't do it.

His consciousness gradually blurred, leaving only a strong obsession that kept Arnold going and holding on.

Make it to Pompeii Castle.

Luther meets Arnold.

The members of the purchasing team who picked up Arnold, at Arnold's request, came to the castle to see the Pompeii knight Old Sol, but Old Sol went out to participate in the aristocratic activities of the six major families.

So the current Pompeii Castle only has the next generation of Pompeii knights, Luther Pompeii.

So Luther met Arnold.

In a clean room, Arnold was lying on a clean bed, being taken care of by a maid. In fact, the maid was too scared to get close, because Arnold's injuries were so severe that it seemed as if he would die in the next moment.

When Luther came in, he let the diligent maid go. Luther frowned and glanced at Arnold, and said, "You claim to be from Pompeii. I believe you don't need to lie to me. Don't worry, I will find the best doctor to treat you."

In fact, Luther knew that this man should be dying soon.

But Luther didn't mind giving this dying man a little hope of life.

It can be regarded as comfort before death.

As for why this Pompeii man named Arnold suffered such injuries, Luther was actually not curious.

Because Luther's strategy has always been to develop slowly, it is best to develop until he is invincible before going out to make waves, which is exactly what he said.

If you don't sing, it will be a blockbuster.

Until then, Luther didn't want to cause trouble.

Arnold's consciousness was very blurry, but he knew the next generation of Pompeii knights in front of him. During his several months in Pompeii, Arnold heard rumors about the next generation of Pompeii knights.

genius.

The next generation.

Tomorrow the Knights of Pompeii.

"This is the Book of the Sages, and I dedicate it to you, the great Knight of Pompeii. But please also be on your guard, for a very powerful force is looking for it, and I lost my life because of it. Finally, I ask you, the merciful , and buried me in the cemetery at Pompeii, with my friend Arkin.”

Arnold suddenly used his only strength and put his hands in his arms. After saying these words, he finally tilted his neck and died.
