Chapter 29 The Strength of the Barton Family

Luther thought that Lucy, Master Barton, had something special to say to him. After all, the two had no friendship before this.

Lucy and Barton also specially sent Newton and others away, and the two of them talked alone.

So Luther found such a secluded place to give Lucy and Barton a chance to speak.

But unexpectedly, things were not at all what Luther imagined.

Seeing Lucy, Barton smiled gracefully, looked at Luther raising his eyes to block his gaze, and said nonchalantly: "Luther, what do you think of the girls who come here tonight?"

Luther was surprised. These words were completely different from what he thought. He recalled his cousin's cautious look before he left.

So Luther thought for a while and then said: "They are all young, beautiful and good girls."

Lucy Barton smiled and shook his head and said: "You lied. I can see that you look down on these girls. Otherwise, you should be chatting enthusiastically with those girls now, and you should have a wonderful night tonight."

Instead of staying with Newton, Sauron and the others."

Luther was a little speechless and thought to himself.

Although he really didn't want to get married so early and was just coping tonight. But it was obviously a little too obvious.

sweat.

At this time, Lucy Barton said again: "But, I understand it better. After all, although the girls here have noble status, they are all country women. To Luther, you, the outstanding heir of the Pompeii family, want to

You can have as many women as you want. If you come into contact with them too much, you will always feel a little bored."

Having said this, Lucibarton smiled ambiguously and said to Luther: "I know some girls who are from noble families. They live in the city and are much better than these country women. Do you want me to introduce some to you?

"

Luther was a little moved. He looked carefully at this Lucy, Master Barton. He had pale skin that was currently popular in the capital.

A young man with a handsome face and elegant manners.

Luther believed that the other party wanted to introduce him to some young girls from the great nobility. Although the other party belonged to a baron family, it owned a huge fiefdom and had twenty or thirty vassals. The other party was considered to be one of the great nobles.

Although it may be at the bottom.

But I know some girls from noble families, so this is not surprising.

Girls who were born into noble families were almost always attractive to people like Luther who were born into knight lords.

But Luther was not included, because Luther wanted to aspire to be a man of great nobility.

Just like what some people say.

"I am from a wealthy family myself, why do I need to marry into a wealthy family?"

Therefore, Luther did not get carried away by the temptation of Lucy Barton, but calmly analyzed the purpose of Lucy Barton's words.

The other party is suspected of pimping, but obviously it is impossible for the other party to be a pimp.

Then the other party must have a purpose.

What the purpose is, based on the information Luther currently has and his own political level, he still can't tell what it means.

But Luther was also smart, and he vaguely felt that the other party was asking him to befriend him.

This is worth pondering.

The other party is the third son of Baron Barton, and the Pompeii family is one of Baron Barton's vassals. The aristocratic inheritance law in this world is primogeniture.

In other words, it is very likely that the third young master Lucy and Barton in front of him will inherit Barton's surname and a fortune in the future and become a descendant of the aristocracy.

With the position of Baron Barton, it is almost impossible.

But now that the third young master deliberately made friends with him, he obviously had something in mind.

Luther had to sigh in his heart, "Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. The ancients have never deceived me."

Baron Barton's fief is not too big, but it is not small either. It has a city, several towns, and twenty or thirty knight lords.

Luther didn't know the specific population, but it was certainly no less than 100,000, or even close to 200,000. It had at least 100 knights and a basic military strength of about 10,000.

With such strength, it can be called a small kingdom.

Who is not jealous?

Luther felt that he was vaguely involved in a bloody drama of family power struggle.

Luther was still a little worried that Lucy and Barton would say some more explicit solicitation words next, which he would not be able to handle.

After all, Luther was not a born politician. He was still just a seedling in this regard. He was more willing to develop his territory and develop in a humble way.

When did you become a great noble and take control of your own rights?

There is no need to use the politicians’ skills, just use force to suppress them.

Fortunately, what Luther was worried about didn't happen. The third young master in front of him was quite reserved. He didn't say anything to solicit him, but just said some normal words to Luther.

It was like two friends who had just met and were talking.

The content is also very aristocratic, talking about beauties and knights.

Talking about the thoroughbred horses raised by the nobles of the royal capital, and poetry. In short, the third young master Lucy and Button had shown a friendly attitude, but did not make any further statements.

Instead, he patiently showed his sincerity and wanted to make friends with Luther.

After a while, the conversation between the two ended. Lucy and Barton still wanted to take Luther to get to know the girls of the big aristocrats.

"If you have a chance to come and play with me, those young and beautiful girls will definitely make your trip worthwhile."

"Do girls still use the word "beautiful"? I guess some girls are young, but their bodies have been developed and mature. I don't dare to touch those girls."

Luther was complaining in his heart, but he smiled and agreed, saying he would definitely go back.

Therefore, Lucy and Barton ended the conversation with Luther in a very happy mood, and then the two of them went back to the hall together.

The two of them returned to the hall, and Lucibarton left as if nothing had happened. He went to drink and enjoy himself. Because Old Sol and others had already gone to another place, and several old friends went to talk together.

They were probably talking about some gangster stuff.

However, some girls and even single ladies went to talk to Lucy and Barton.

Although he is the third son of Baron Barton, he has basically no chance of having a title. However, the third son of Baron Baron will definitely inherit a large fortune in the future. Lucy and Barton are very popular.

The girls had a lot of ideas, because they could also see that Luther was obviously not interested in them. Since they couldn't climb the big tree of Pompeii's house, it seemed like a good idea to fish for the third young master.

Those single ladies have simpler ideas. This third young master is so handsome, and it seems good to have a romantic relationship with him.

Your circle is so chaotic!

On Luther's side, Newton and the others came up to him with expressions of concern. Luther shook his head at Newton and motioned to talk later. He himself went to the old housekeeper and asked where Old Saul was.

I went to find Old Sol.

Based on the information he currently has and the political skill tree, he can only vaguely guess a little bit, but for more details, he has to ask Old Sol for advice.

Although Luther prefers to stay in the countryside and develop his territory with peace of mind, and develop in a wretched manner.

But with the current strength of the Pompeii Territory, we need to be more cautious when facing things like this from the Barton family.

Some things cannot be avoided.
