The old butler was a little deaf. When Luther came, he was still counting the goods and didn't hear the footsteps.
"Butler Faerlan."
Until Luther shouted.
"Master Luther." Only then did the old butler react, turned around and bowed to Luther.
"I have something to do. Can you come to the living room?" Luther asked. The entire Pompeii family was very close to this old butler. He said he was a butler, but in fact he was as friendly as a family member.
"Okay, you go to the living room first, I will come back later." The old housekeeper said.
So Luther went to the living room upstairs first, and not long after, the old butler also came. After the old butler sat down, Luther said straightforwardly: "Butler Phelan, I discussed with Lelouch before and decided to spring
Let farmers grow more rapeseed and be self-sufficient. So I hope that our family can build an oil pressing workshop. In addition, as the number of knights increases, the demand for meat also increases, and our pasture should also expand. In addition, now we
Although there are not many people in the city, some businesses should be opened. For example, clothing stores and jewelry stores. Only when these stores in the city increase can we attract more residents to live in Pompeii. You can discuss these with your mother."
These are actually family businesses and are not on the same line as the development of the family territory.
Taxes from family territories are official revenue, while opening shops and building factories are family businesses. These cannot be mixed together.
In the past, Mrs. Sophie took care of the family's business, but as the mainstay of the family, the old housekeeper was more involved in the business. Anyway, Mrs. Sophie often asked the old housekeeper for his opinion.
So Luther found the old housekeeper and explained these things.
Luther didn't ask about the details, he just gave an outline and asked the old housekeeper to discuss with Mrs. Sophie to build these basic shops.
On the one hand, these are part of the foundation. It is impossible for a town to not have clothing stores and jewelry stores.
On the other hand, these businesses are exclusively run by the Pompeii family. As the town improves and five thousand residents move in, it will bring a lot of income to the Pompeii family.
After all, it’s done by others, so why not do it yourself?
Of course, with the expansion of the city, these businesses cannot be carried out by the Pompeii family alone. There will definitely be other businessmen entering Pompeii by then.
This is a good thing.
All in all, the last thing Luther has to arrange is this. After arranging this matter, Luther can start the path of training as an Earth Knight.
The old housekeeper wrote them down one by one, and finally said with a smile: "Okay, I will discuss with the madam and get these things done. Don't worry, young master."
"We have Butler Lauferon." Luther said politely.
After doing this last thing, Luther felt relieved. Today Luther didn't want to go out. During dinner, Luther had a good meal and prepared various things for the trip.
Luther spoke to his family again, but of course he did not dare to reveal his destination.
Because according to Sun Face, Luther's cultivation journey this time is to go deep into the forest. My father doesn't know, but my mother will definitely object.
So Luther found an excuse, saying that he was going to Kaiyue City to visit Miss Ruth.
In this way, he easily gained Mrs. Sophie's trust, and Mrs. Sophie made arrangements for Luther very considerately.
"Bring more gold coins. As a man, you can't be too stingy when you go out. By the way, you have to bring some gifts. There are a few bottles of precious wine at home, so take them with you."
Mrs. Sophie prepared it for Luther very diligently.
Luther didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he persuaded Mrs. Sophie to give up the arrangement and brought only gold coins. In private, she also brought some antidote, gold sore medicine and other necessities for entering the forest.
Luther set out early the next morning. He first said goodbye to his family and headed north towards Kaiyue City. When the distance was far away, Luther turned around and headed for the forest in the south.
Alone, I entered the forest.
………….
It's spring now, the time when everything comes to life.
However, the coldness of winter has not left completely, so there is still a biting chill in the air. Because it has not warmed up, some big trees are still bare and have not grown any young leaves.
After surviving a long winter, hungry beasts are moving around in search of food.
After Luther entered the forest south, he walked a long way. Now he was far away from Pompeii. Fortunately, Luther had learned how to identify the direction before, otherwise he would have been lost in the forest.
.
During this period, Luther would hunt wild beasts to eat when he was hungry, stop to rest when he was tired, and run away immediately after encountering a monster.
Because this time Luther came to the interior of the forest to practice, not to fight against the monsters. Of course, Luther would definitely not be able to defeat the monsters by himself at the moment.
Luther had not forgotten the last time he gathered the power of three people and managed to kill the poisonous acid lizard.
Definitely not a great memory.
The training is very simple. It enhances the strength of the body, strengthens the strength of the fighting spirit, and is immune to various injuries, so that the advantages of the Earth Knight can be brought into full play.
The answer given by Sun Face is to rely on the power of nature as much as possible.
At this time of year, the best force of nature is naturally the cold. Luther's goal is to find a big mountain and enjoy the pleasure of the cold on the top of it.
Fortunately, Luther had also learned some methods of identifying terrain before this, so he was not searching aimlessly. Luther searched and searched.
Finally found a high mountain today.
This is a very high mountain. More than half of the mountain is covered with thick white snow. The upper part is covered by a thick layer of clouds. It seems like it is still snowing on the mountain.
"It's so high, maybe more than a thousand meters." Luther guessed in his mind after a visual inspection.
"Take off your clothes, don't use your fighting spirit to resist, use your body to directly feel the gift of this severe cold. Only by adapting to this severe cold can you gain the ability to be immune to the severe cold. When you face the Frost Knights in the future, their
The damage caused by fighting spirit to you will be minimal."
Sun Face said.
However, Luther did not take off his clothes immediately. He walked up the mountain first. When he walked about five hundred meters, it was already completely white.
Luther chose a place, took off his clothes, and then buried the clothes in the snow, making a mark so that he would not be found when he came back.
Then Luther picked up his package and planned to continue going up.
"Take off your underwear too."
Sun Face said suddenly.
"ah!!!"
Luther lowered his head and looked at his body. Only his underwear was left, with red trousers. For some reason, underwear of this color was very popular among the nobles of the Kingdom of Prussia.
"It's so embarrassing to take off the last layer." Luther said coquettishly.
"Take it off," Taiyang said coldly.
"Okay." Luther finally took off his clothes. Soon after, Luther, who let himself go and embraced nature, quickly headed towards the top of the mountain.
