No matter how much Luther expected to find the big thief Kurd and get the novice gift package from Kurd, Kurd seemed to have disappeared.
And when such a big thief disappeared, even Baron Barton was helpless, let alone the heir to a lord like Luther.
So how should I spend this day?
After the Pompeii Territory experienced a period of martial law, its defenses were relaxed.
Lelouch is still carrying out the work in the territory. The main work in the territory is of course agriculture. Although spring plowing is important in agriculture, there is still a series of work after spring plowing.
For example, weeding.
These things are all watched by Lelouch.
Luther only does a few things of his own. The first is of course knight training, fighting spirit training, riding, swordsmanship, and fighting.
A powerful knight definitely pays attention not only to his realm, but also his own fighting ability.
I heard that there are some strong knights who follow the ancient knightly code, are not greedy for wealth, power, and pleasure, and undergo ascetic knight training every day.
They have both powerful fighting spirit and fighting abilities that are beyond ordinary people.
As the heir to a lord's family, Luther does not need to be too harsh on himself, but he still has certain standards for himself.
In addition to knight training, Luther often read books, mostly miscellaneous books, to continue to understand the world.
Because the collection of books in the castle was limited, Luther had to send a caravan to the city to purchase books.
There is a saying in China that is good in culture and martial arts. Luther is currently doing this kind of thing, acquiring knowledge and increasing force.
Besides that, Luther corresponded with Miss Ruth.
When he was strict with himself, exchanging letters with Miss Ruth became the only leisure thing. Luther enjoyed this very much.
Even if I can't develop an indescribable relationship with Miss Ruth that goes beyond a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, even if I can become a pure believer, it seems good.
In such orderly days, time flies by and summer arrives soon.
The entire Kingdom of Prussia is located in the south of the mainland, and Pompeii is one of the southernmost territories of Prussia. Therefore, the summer is extremely hot.
Of course, the grass will also thrive.
Throughout the territory and on the farmland, there are busy figures of farmers everywhere. They wear straw hats and bend over to cut the grass with sickles.
The scorching sun made them sweat profusely, and their complexions were as dark as black coal.
But they were still very happy because the farmers found that the wheat grew better this year than in previous years, and even the grass grew better.
When I think of what Luther said, "Using manure to fertilize the fields can increase the yield of wheat."
Now that the seeds are showing, farmers work even harder when they think of the big harvest in autumn. As long as there is a harvest, everything is easy to say.
Isn't it just cutting some grass? If you don't give up your strength, there will be no food to eat.
In this calm and peaceful place, Luther's Pompeii wine also began to quietly show its power.
The life of the Pompeii family will get better and better.
Kaiyue City!
This is the main city of the Barton Territory.
The Barton Territory includes Kaiyue City, several surrounding towns, and dozens of villages. Twenty or thirty of these villages are granted to their vassals, that is, knights and nobles like the Pompeii family.
The population of the entire Barton Territory is approximately one hundred thousand.
Belongs to an independent small kingdom.
Kaiyue City is the capital of this small kingdom. Kaiyue City stands on flat ground, surrounded by vast plains, and to the south is a vast forest.
The Kingdom of Prussia is not static. The Kingdom of Prussia was established after the first king, Sky Knight Micho, killed the red dragon. After that, the kingdom's power continued to expand southward.
The endless forests in the south were developed bit by bit, gradually approaching the sea. And this Kaiyue City was a military fortress built because of the development.
The Barton family was a pioneering aristocracy that emerged from that time.
Therefore, Kaiyue City is full of military style. The city walls are very high, there are arrow towers everywhere on the city walls, and the city walls and gates are very thick.
Very useful for defense.
The city has a population of about 40,000 to 50,000, and the commercial atmosphere is quite strong. Because the Barton Territory also produces some ores, such as gem mines, there are also some magical beasts entrenched in the endless forest to the south.
And Warcraft is full of treasures. Wizards need Warcraft for experiments or research.
In addition, the land in the Barton Territory is very fertile, producing wheat and the agriculture is very good. There is also the Barton Winery Manor in the Barton Territory.
It is a well-known wine estate in the entire province, and the wine produced is sold throughout the province.
All in all, the Barton family is very strong and the territory has a strong commercial atmosphere.
Among the real nobles, Barton's territory is not the largest, and his strength is not the strongest, but his income is definitely among the top.
This is of course the main reason why Lucy and Barton covet the title of Baron Barton, and the benefits are huge.
Pompeii's family had two shops in Kaiyue City. The two connected shops only sold one product, ale.
Don't underestimate these two shops, and don't underestimate the low price of ale. There is no profit, but small profits but quick turnover. The quality of Barton's ale is not bad, and the price is fair.
It can earn a lot of gold coins every year to subsidize the daily expenses of the Pompei family, which is one of the important sources of income for the Pompei family.
The person who manages these two shops is a servant brought by Mrs. Sophie's natal family. This servant is called Shield, a very simple name.
But this shield has a lot of business acumen. Under his management, these two stores have achieved such good results.
The shield has been a little troubled lately.
Because a few months ago, the host family sent a new wine to taste, called Pompeii wine. The wine is of course good wine, Shields admits this very much.
He has been dealing with wine all his life, and has even drank wine, let alone ale. This is also ale, but the taste of Pompeii wine is completely different from any other ale on this continent.
Unique taste.
This means business opportunities, but it also means there is no audience. Even if you are a pioneering knight, you have to be in a forest, and there are many monsters and even dragons in this forest.
Kill the monsters bit by bit, cut down the forest, and open up a territory.
If Pompeii wine wants to open up the market, this is pretty much it.
Shield's ability is okay, but it's just okay. It's a bit difficult for him to develop a new wine and brand.
So the Pompeii wine shipped from the owner's house was kept in the shop. Within a few months, not even a barrel was sold.
This is like carrying a shield.
There are two shops, one shop holds ale, and the other shop holds Pompeii wine. In the shop where the ale is kept, people come and go.
No one cared about the shop where Pompeii wine was kept.
Shields sat in the store manager's seat, watching the two clerks busy, and sighed.
