Luther looked at Xiu Xiuya who came down the stairs, and then glanced at Old Sol, as well as Magellan and the old housekeeper beside Old Sol.
This is the legacy of the Pompeii family.
The leader of the Pompeii family, the Knights of Pompeii.
The leader of the Iron Horse family, Pompeii's retainer, and the Knight of the Iron Horse.
Pompeii's housekeeper, the Phelan family.
This is how the Pompeii family has been passed down from generation to generation, and with the promotion of Xiu Xiuya, it means that although the older generation is still in its prime, the new generation has risen.
Their time has gradually arrived.
And in my hands, Pompeii will go further, far better than its ancestors.
"Sir Knight!" Xiu Xiuya, like his father Magellan, is a man of few words. Usually his face is basically expressionless, but at this moment, there is a smile and a touch of excitement on his face.
No matter what kind of person you are, you will be excited and happy when you are promoted to a knight.
After Xiu Xiuya stepped into the hall, he immediately knelt on one knee in front of Old Sol, and met the family head as the next generation head of the Iron Horse family and a knight of the Pompeii family.
"Hahaha, okay. Under the current circumstances, it's great that you can be promoted to a knight, Xiu Xiuya." Old Thor laughed, sincerely happy, and bent down to help Xiu Xiuya up.
Magellan and the old butler Feren also had a smile on their faces.
Luther heard something strange. He looked at his father and asked: "Under the current situation? Dad, what happened recently?"
Luther affirmed that the territory is currently absolutely peaceful and peaceful.
In such a small territory, if there was any disturbance, it would never be hidden from his ears. In other words, if something happened, it must have happened from the city.
Pompeii is a bit far away from the city, so only Old Sol can get first-hand information.
As for the last incident between Lucy and Barton, Luther still remembered it in his heart. Naturally, his heart trembled. Did something happen to Baron Barton?
Is the Patton family in danger of falling apart?
This is a bit conflicting with Luther's plan. After all, Luther planned to grow up in obscurity first, and the ruin of the Barton family would be decades later. It is estimated that by that time, Luther was already a nobleman and had huge power.
What happened to the Barton family will not affect the Pompeii family.
And if anything happens to Baron Barton at this time, and trouble breaks out immediately in the Barton family, then the Pompeii family will inevitably fall into a political storm.
It's exactly the opposite of Luther's obscene development plan.
Old Sol nodded and said: "I originally planned to announce it, but was preempted by Xiu Xiuya's promotion." After a pause, Old Sol said solemnly: "The Barton family was robbed, and it seems that it was the thief Kurd.
The Baron is currently looking for Kurd throughout the country. This thief Kurd should have the strength of an intermediate knight. If he escapes to our Pompeii territory, it will be a tricky thing for us. It is of course good to have more combat power at this time.
"
Thief Kurd?
Luther raised his eyebrows. The most common supernatural powers in the world are of course knights and wizards. There are no thieves who can sneak.
Of course a wizard cannot become a thief.
Therefore, generally the thieves on the move are people with the strength of knights.
The big thief Kurd, according to the intelligence circulated outside, has the strength of an intermediate knight. Among the thieves wanted in the entire province, he is at the middle level.
It is impossible for such a thief to sneak into the Baron's house easily. This is because the contemporary Baron Barton has the strength of a high-level knight.
The baron's home must also be heavily guarded.
The thief Kurd sneaked into the baron's house and stole something. This was very difficult. Of course, what made Luther even more curious was what treasure was in the baron's home that attracted the thief Kurd, and he did not hesitate to take such a big risk to steal.
"Is there any other information? For example, when Kurd was discovered, did he fight with the guards of the Baron's family? Was he injured?"
Luther asked.
"I heard that there was a fierce battle, and the Kurds were injured to some extent, but the extent of the injuries is unknown. The city is currently under martial law, and the Kurds have not been caught. According to official judgment, the Kurds should have left the city. It is very likely that it will be carried out in the countryside.
Hiding, our territory has to be defended."
Old Sol said seriously.
Luther nodded, this is very possible.
Because Pompeii Territory is very remote and surrounded by forests. Even if an intermediate knight is injured, he should still be able to survive in the forest.
The vast forest is the best hiding place.
Moreover, the strength of the Pompeii family was not strong. Because before this, the Pompeii family had only three knights, Old Sol, Magellan, and Luther.
Maybe this Kurdish thief will get a vote in Pompeii.
All in all, the chances of the Kurds coming to Pompeii are relatively high.
"Dad, I will tell Lelouch immediately to send people to each village to ask the people to be more vigilant and try not to go hunting in the forest."
Luther made a decision immediately.
"Go ahead."
Old Sol nodded and said.
Without further ado.
Luther immediately hurried to the city hall and asked Lelouch to spread the news. Old Sol asked Magellan to summon the guards in the castle to strengthen the alert.
As the news spread, the freedmen, under the organization of the village chief, formed groups of militia teams to patrol day and night.
The entire Pompeii territory was filled with an air of murder.

Pompeii Territory, in the forest near the road from Pompeii Territory to the city.
Of course, the roads in the forest are not easy to walk. Now is the spring, when everything comes to life. All kinds of animals that have been hungry all winter come out to move around.
In this large forest, there are not only packs of wolves, but also brown bears, tigers and other beasts.
But to a knight, these beasts are of course nothing. Unless they encounter Warcraft.
At this moment, a man was resting on a stone in the forest. The stone was very smooth and was close to a small stream.
The man's clothes were very ordinary, as if he were a commoner. His appearance was also very ordinary, and he was the type that wouldn't be looked at twice in a crowd.
There was a gash on the man's chest, and his clothes were stained with blood.
The man's face was a little pale, a knight's sword was stuck next to the big stone, and he was holding a book in his hand.
It was none other than the big thief Kurd.
Kurd lowered his head and glanced at his wound. The wound was already stuttering. But it still hurt slightly. This wound came from an intermediate knight, and fighting spirit was raging on the wound.
Although I have used very good medicine for gold sores, it is not that easy to cure.
"What on earth are you?" Kurd looked at the wound, raised the book in his hand, and asked.
Will a book answer?
Under normal circumstances, there will be no answer.
But this book answers it.
"This is the book of wise men."
Although this was not the first time he spoke after seeing this book, Kurd still had a flash of horror in his eyes.
What kind of things did I steal from the Barton family this time?
