The knight lord family, the leader of the Will family, the contemporary Will knight. In terms of status, he has the same status as the contemporary Pompeii knight Old Sol.
They are all field vassals belonging to Baron Barton.
But in terms of power and strength, there is a significant gap between the two families. First of all, their own strength. Latin and Will are young, only twenty-six years old this year, and have the strength of a junior knight.
Old Sol claimed to be an intermediate knight, but he was actually a genuine high-level knight.
Second is family power.
The power of the Will family is basically the same as that before Pompeii. They have a small territory, about 2,000 citizens, and two civilian knights who serve the Will family.
But now the Pompeii family has a large number of guard knights, and the two are not at the same level of power.
The last thing is political status.
The small Barton Territory, with Baron Barton as the center, has formed a series of political forces, including guardian knights and lord knights.
Among the twenty or thirty lord knights, there are many small forces. For example, the six major knight lord families of this generation, led by the Pompeii family, are a powerful political force.
The reason why these six major families were formed is because of hundreds of years of continuous intermarriage, forming a close blood relationship. In many political events in the past dynasties, the six major families have helped each other and have never betrayed each other.
This is political power formed through blood and trust.
In comparison, the legacy of the Will family is much shorter. The legacy of the Will family began when Latin, Will's grandfather, Bush, Will was canonized by Baron Barton and became a lord knight.
It has only been three generations, seventy-two years.
Because the inheritance is so short, the Will family cannot rely on anyone among the knight lord families, and they have little contact with the guardian knight family.
It became an isolated political force, very weak.
So people who don't know think that the Will family has a powerful position that rivals the Pompeii family. In fact, the two cannot be compared at all.
But after all, the Weir family is also the vassal of Baron Barton. For three generations and seventy-two years, they have served the Barton family and dedicated their lives.
Therefore, Luther cannot use too strong methods to deal with the Will family before he is sure of the matter.
This is also a relatively helpless thing. The Pompeii family is still too weak at present, and there are constraints in all aspects.
However, even if Luther becomes a baron or even an earl in the future, it will not be easy to deal with a lord knight in the barony.
Unless you are ready for war.
All in all, if you want to live a nourished life in this world without being bitten by birds, you must climb up.
This information was already collected by Luther in Pompeii. All he had to do now was to pry open the mouths of Latin and Will and obtain the whereabouts of Miss Ruth.
How to do it?
Come directly to your door.
So Luther took the iron pot and the two of them went to the restaurant to retrieve the horse and rode to Willland.
Like the Pompeii Territory, the Well Territory is also located in a deep forest, relatively close to the territories of the six major families. It was already night after Luther arrived at the Well Territory.
Luther did not choose to visit Knight Will in the castle that night, which was too rude. He chose to set up a camp in the deep forest, and after resting for a night, Luther visited Will Castle the next day with an iron pot.
Weir Castle is a black castle, the size of which is not much different from that of Pompeii Castle. Most of the lower-level knight lords look like this unless there are special circumstances.
The life is much better than that of common people, but compared with the real nobles on the ground, it is simply a grain of rice.
Not only that, like the Pompeii Territory and the Will Territory, because the territory goes deep into the deep forest, it is also threatened by the monsters in the deep forest.
From time to time, there will be situations where it is breached, which is actually very difficult.
"Excuse me, sir, who are you?"
Of course there were guards at the gate of the castle. Two guards guarded the gate, one on the left and the other on the right. When the guards saw Luther coming on horseback, they recognized Luther as the protagonist. The guard on the right was very sharp.
Come up and ask politely.
"I am Luther Pompeii, the heir to the Pompeii family of Barton knights. I am here to visit Knight Will." Luther got off his horse, handed the reins to the iron pot, and nodded slightly.
Don't be too polite to these ordinary guards, otherwise they will be looked down upon.
"It turns out to be Mr. Luther." The guard's expression was very solemn. Of course, Luther was actually not well-known in the entire Barton Territory. Although Luther was now the acting lord and the development of the territory was closely related to him, only people in the territory knew the way.
Because of his deeds, Luther was unknown outside his territory.
The reason why the guards were so solemn was because of the reputation accumulated by the Pompeii family for hundreds of years and the personal prestige of Thor, the golden lion.
Especially Old Thor, although he only showed the strength of an intermediate knight, Old Thor was at the upper level among the Pompeii knights of all generations because of his bravery, strength and prestige in combat.
Very very reliable.
"Please come in." The guard on the right bent down and invited. Then he ordered the guard on the left: "North, take Mr. Luther's servants and horses down to rest."
"Yes." The guard on the left responded and went down with the iron pot and two horses. The guard on the right took Luther into Weir Castle.
The interior of Weir Castle was similar to the interior of Pompeii Castle. It was a paramilitary castle with nothing to see. The guard quickly took Luther to the hall to sit down, and asked the maid to take care of him, while he went upstairs.
It should be to find Latin.
Will went.
Not long after, there was a burst of footsteps. A young man walked down. He had a red head, very sharp eyes, and a tall figure, which was extremely oppressive.
"Knight Will." Luther stood up and saluted Latin and Will.
"Hello, the next generation of Knights of Pompeii, Mr. Luther." Latin Will is not as frivolous as the rumors say, nor does he have the strong feeling given by his appearance.
On the contrary, there is a kind of aristocratic elegance that owes a debt to Luther.
After saying hello, Latin and Will also sat on the chairs. Then he asked politely: "I have always respected the Knight of Pompeii, and I would also like to ask him for military advice on an appropriate occasion. But it is a pity that
I have never had the opportunity. I feel very honored to host the next generation of Pompeii knights at Weir Castle today."
These words are definitely not just polite words.
Latin, what Will means is very obvious. Although I respect your father very much, we have no friendship. Why are you taking the liberty of visiting?
"My father also respects you, the great Knight of Weir. If my father could know your thoughts, he would be very happy to come to Weir Castle to visit you." Luther also politely said, paused, and said
Decai said: "As for my visit to you this time, it is because of some personal matters."
Latin, Will seemed a little surprised, paused for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Luther, if you have anything to ask, please tell me directly. If I can, I will definitely help."
"I want to ask you about a beautiful noble girl, Ruth Ruhl." Luther said.
