The Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 120 100,000 Gold Coins

In addition to the Baron and this "Mrs. Morgan", there are five knights standing here. It is impossible to tell how powerful a knight is before he shows his strength.

So Luther could not judge the level of these knights, but as the Baron's personal knights, they should be very strong.

Of course, these five knights saw Pompey and his son, but Old Sol's old face still played a role, and the father and son came to the Baron unimpeded.

"Hey, Sol." The Baron also found Pompey and his son, shook his shoulders exaggeratedly, and then gave Old Sol a hug.

"Baron." Old Sol also hugged the Baron familiarly.

The two people seemed not to be monarchs and ministers, but old friends.

But this is also normal. The Baron and Old Sol are about the same age. As the heirs of their respective families, they had intersections in childhood.

After adulthood, Old Sol, as a general under the Baron, fought side by side with the Baron many times, and the relationship was already very close.

Therefore, the plan of Pompey and his son is not to seize Baron Baron's territory and plot to usurp power.

Besides, usurping power is not feasible in this world. The way to control the territory by killing the king as a minister will be resisted by all nobles.

There is even more resistance than the second son becoming the heir. There are precedents in history where the second son became the heir, but there has never been a precedent where he could sit firmly after the conspiracy to usurp power was successful.

Of course, the throne is different.

Because the king originally stands at the highest point of the country and is the end of the rules. If the throne is also usurped, then no one can control the traitor who seizes the throne.

In short, the current plan of Pompey and his son is to establish a small baron territory outside of Barton territory, step by step.

Anyway, the forest is extremely vast and there is plenty of land.

After the Baron hugged Old Sol, he stood in front of Luther, gave him a very kind smile, and said, "This must be Luther, an excellent little guy."

Luther only remembered seeing this Baron when he was a child, but his impression was vague. This was his first time to meet the Baron, and he felt that he was a very gentle person.

"Baron." Luther bowed to the Baron very appropriately, and saluted with his right hand on his chest.

"You are really too polite. It's not good to be too old-fashioned at your age." The Baron made a very surprising move. He pinched Luther's cheek, and then smiled and said, "I held you when you were a child."

"It's just that I peed on you."

At this time, Old Sol laughed and interrupted.

"Hahahaha, that pee was really heavy." The Baron laughed.

Luther's face was a little red. Although it was a childhood thing, he felt a little ashamed to be said in public.

Of course, he didn't remember this at all.

"Hehe." Mrs. Morgan next to him also laughed so hard that she was shaking with laughter. She gently covered her mouth with a pink fan, which was very charming.

A pair of charming eyes stared at Luther, as if she was very interested in Luther.

This was normal. Luther was a very handsome and good guy.

But Luther was a little overwhelmed. He glanced at the baron, who didn't seem to care much about his mistress's behavior.

Maybe he didn't mind his mistress going to meet other men.

Luther had to sigh again, your circle is really messy.

Then the baron stopped teasing Luther, and talked with Old Sol for a while. Of course, he didn't talk while standing. The baron asked the servants to bring the grill.

He asked the servants to grill the meat, prepare some snacks such as small cookies, a bottle of red wine, and sit down with Old Sol, as if it was afternoon tea, and have a relaxed and pleasant conversation.

Talked about the romantic and suave when he was a teenager, and talked about the battlefield experience when he was a young man. The Baron, who was lost in memories, pinched Mrs. Morgan's buttocks and smiled happily.

Mrs. Morgan was not shy either, but showed a wanton smile, and her great thing was shaking.

Old Sol talked with him for a long time. When the atmosphere was about right, Old Sol bowed and said to the Baron: "Baron, I came here this time to ask you for something."

"Oh, our generous and straightforward Mr. Sol is actually hypocritical." The Baron was a little surprised, because Old Sol has always been known for his generosity outside.

Then the Baron showed a straightforward look, "If you have anything, just say it directly. I will definitely not refuse to help."

"I want to borrow some money from you." Old Sol's old face was a little red, but it was fleeting. If Luther hadn't had good eyesight, he might not have seen it.

"Isn't your Pompeii wine very popular? Are you still short of money?" The Baron asked a little strangely.

What's even more strange is that Old Sol has never asked him to borrow money.

"You also know Pompeii wine?" asked Old Sol.

"Ah, I have drunk it, but to be honest I don't like it. I still like red wine." The baron thought about the taste of Pompeii wine and felt a little disgusted.

This is also normal. After all, the mainstream of this world is red wine. Too many nobles can't stand the taste of Pompeii wine. If Pompeii wine is really so popular, then the income of the Pompeii family will definitely not be only 300 gold coins a month.

But at the same time, the nobles who like Pompeii wine are also very loyal and praise it.

The polarization is serious.

Here, Old Sol nodded to show his understanding, although he thought Pompeii wine was delicious. Then Old Sol sighed and said a little embarrassedly: "Although the income from Pompeii wine is okay, I need a little more money this time."

"A little more, how much is it? It won't be 10,000 gold coins?" The baron was a little interested.

"Um, a little more." Old Sol said a little shyly.

"Twenty thousand gold coins?" The baron frowned slightly. This is a lot of money.

"One hundred thousand gold coins." Old Sol finally said honestly.

"Puff!" The baron was holding a sip of red wine and sprayed it out when he heard it. Fortunately, he was a senior knight so he turned his head quickly and sprayed it somewhere else, otherwise old Thor's face would be in trouble.

Mrs. Morgan was also stunned and forgot to use a handkerchief to clean the stain for the baron.

One hundred thousand gold coins, my God.

Mrs. Morgan is the baron's old love, and the two have been in a relationship for many years. She knows how much money the baron has in his wallet.

But it's only 200,000 or 300,000 gold coins.

At first glance, it seems a lot, but it's actually very little. Because Barton has many guardian knights, knights' salaries, officials' salaries, and daily expenses.

These 200,000 or 300,000 gold coins are the most basic operating funds, which are not easy to move.

Not to mention the Pompeii knight in front of him, who asked for 100,000 gold coins at the first word, which really killed the baron.

The baron took a moment to calm down, then took a handkerchief from the table and wiped his mouth, then joked in a very stiff tone.

"One hundred thousand gold coins, my God, are you planning to form a strong army, and an army of female knights?"
