Luther and Pompeii were probably the poorest travelers.
But Luther didn't feel ashamed, because the more he spent, the more he earned.
A good lord who doesn't know how to spend money is definitely not a good lord.
This time Luther wants to play a big game, defeat the Autumn Wind Thieves Group, and open treasure chests. Either he will lose blood, or he will make a fortune.
But it doesn’t matter whether you make a profit or a loss.
Both the Pompeii family can gain prestige.
After learning about the Pompeii family's business in detail and learning that it was all for small amounts of money, Luther was no longer interested and just did whatever he wanted.
Of course, you can't say that, but Luther still thanked his mother and the old housekeeper for running the Pompeii family's business.
There is no need for the family to be too polite, it just needs to be just right.
Anyway, Mrs. Sophie and the old housekeeper left happily.
"By the way, Luther, do you really not want to eat World of Warcraft meat? Your father has been very free recently, so he went to hunt some for you." Before Mrs. Sophie left, she still thought of Luther's recent lack of food and kept thinking about it.
.
"Dad, have you been very busy recently?" Luther's eyes lit up.
"It's very free. I either do knight training every day, or sleep and eat." Mrs. Sophie nodded affirmatively. In fact, she was paying close attention.
Ever since she found out about Old Sol's affair with the maid, she had been keeping an eye on Old Sol and not giving him a chance.
Poor old Sol.
Luther didn't know this. He was happy knowing that his father was free. Because Luther's backup plan was related to his father.
So after saying goodbye to Mrs. Sophie and Butler Phelan, Luther went to ask the maids again and found Old Sol in the study.
Dad looked really idle, holding a kettle and watering a pot of flowers and plants placed by the window.
"Dad, please give up your face and lend money to the Pompeii family again." After Luther entered the study, he made a snap, bent down and lowered his head and begged.
"What?" Old Sol's hand trembled, and he lit the watering can and dropped it. Borrowing money is an unbearable memory.
Although the six major families have a harmonious relationship with each other, the last time Old Sol went to borrow money, he readily borrowed gold coins to help the Pompeii family tide over the difficulties.
But Old Sol definitely doesn't want to go there again, it's too shameful.
But when Old Sol thought about it, the Pompeii family was currently developing at a rapid pace. Under the management of this outstanding son, the Pompeii family might become a baron.
He immediately lost his sense of shame, gritted his teeth and put the kettle on the floor, then sat down with a big smile and asked: "Tell me how much it will cost this time?"
"One hundred thousand gold coins." Luther said honestly. He was really honest.
"...!" Old Sol was speechless because this figure was beyond his ability to bear. How much was the Pompeii family's annual tax before? It was probably more than nine hundred and less than one thousand.
In other words, the Pompeii family might not have been able to get 10,000 gold coins ten years ago, but now Luther asked for 100,000 gold coins. In the past, it would have taken the Pompeii family a hundred years to collect them.
And he still doesn’t eat or drink.
Old Thor originally thought that his nerves had become very thick due to the training of this outstanding son in front of him.
God knows, he used to be a suave and a good nobleman who enjoyed life. Although his family's income was not very good, he still used his limited funds to have fun and had many mistresses.
But now when I open my mouth, it’s a hundred thousand.
Old Sol wanted to curse.
Old Sol took a deep breath, then another. After three times in total, Old Sol asked expressionlessly: "One hundred thousand gold coins? Luther, what do you want to do?"
At this time, Old Saul seemed to have returned to the style he had when Luther first traveled through time, old-fashioned and majestic.
A very typical image of a strict father.
However, Luther was not Wu Xia Amon at this time. He stiffened his neck and said: "I will spend 100,000 gold coins to invite mercenaries to wipe out the Qiufeng bandits."
Old Sol was stunned for a moment, and then he touched his chin, which showed that he had a little too much stubble. After touching it for a moment, Old Sol asked: "Do you want to increase the family's reputation?"
"The family needs to remove the leader's head to increase its prestige." Luther nodded.
Old Saul didn't ask any questions this time. He was a qualified politician. He was more familiar with some things than Luther about the situation in Orange and Barton.
Naturally, he knows the current embarrassment of the Pompeii family and how to get rid of it.
"Luther, please prepare. We will set off to meet our lord, Baron Barton, in three days." Old Sol said solemnly.
Because in the entire Barton territory, only Baron Barton could afford one hundred thousand gold coins.
And even if Baron Barton can get it, one hundred thousand gold coins will empty out the Baron's wallet. Whether he can lend it out depends on the face of an old face.
Old Sol is someone with such a face.
This dad is very reliable.
"Okay." Luther breathed out and showed a bright smile.
After getting his father's promise, Luther left with a very happy mood.
It's good to have a reliable dad.
By the way, since I am setting off to meet Baron Barton in three days, if I obtain one hundred thousand gold coins, I should go to the Golden City and hire a reliable mercenary group.
I'm afraid it will take several months to go there. Think about what else is going on in the territory and settle in.
But after Luther thought for a while, he thought of one person. Because currently the territory cannot recruit residents, development has encountered a bottleneck.
No big deal.
town Hall.
Great Knight.
Lady Sophie.
The territories, troops, and businesses are managed separately, so there is nothing to worry about. The only thing Luther needs to worry about is the people around him.
For example, Little Lolita, Little Maya and Lily.
Another example is Xiu Xiuya.
Luther decided to take a look at Xiu Xiuya's current situation, because after Luther returned from the forest, he was eager to go to Kaiyue City to see Miss Ruth, and he was depressed for several days after returning.
I have never seen Xiu Xiuya.
As Luther's personal knight, the next generation knight of the Iron Horse family, and possessing an extremely excellent talent for thunder fighting energy, Xiu Xiuya's importance is self-evident.
If Luther becomes Earl Luther in the future and owns a large territory, then Shushua will be Luther's rib, an important bone wrapped around his heart.
Therefore, whether it is from a personal relationship or from a future perspective, Luther sincerely cares about Xiu Xiuya.
So Luther came to a school grounds outside the castle, found Knight Magellan, and asked about Shushua's current situation.
Perhaps it was because of the last agreement with Luther that the secret of cultivating Thunder Dou Qi was kept secret for the time being.
Xiusia built a villa in a remote place among the twenty strongholds in Pompeii, and Xiusia is currently staying there.
