Chapter 140: Let's Party, Pompeii (Second Update)
Pompeii Territory.
Since the first generation of Pompeii Knights established the territory, the territory has been hovering between weakness and ruin.
When it was weak, it was like Pompeii in the old Sol era. Although the Pompeii family was known as aristocrats, they had been dealing with farmers and serfs for many years. Although the territory was peaceful and quiet, it was definitely a countryside in the countryside.
When it was ruined, the territory was broken by terrible monsters. This kind of thing happened many times in the history of Pompeii. Sometimes the Pompeii Knights took the casualties of the territory and surrendered to Baron Patton, and then rebuilt the territory with the support of the baron.
Even worse, the Pompeii Knights died in battle.
It seemed to have formed a cycle of wandering between weakness and ruin for countless years. And the change of Pompeii started with Luther.
Since Luther began to develop Pompeii, the family now has a total of fifteen knights, about twelve thousand farmers, and a growing family reputation.
The Pompeii family is like the rising sun, full of rising momentum.
Now, after the autumn harvest, the Pompeii family hired the "Pallada Circus" to perform in the territory, bringing this kind of joy to the land for the first time.
Before this, the Pompeii knights of all generations had never done such a thing, hiring a circus to perform in the territory.
It would be better to drink more wine with that money.
Pompeii is a small country place, and it still needs a circus to perform?
What a joke.
But Luther did it. He made Pompeii stronger, built a city, and hired a circus to perform in Pompeii.
He planned to let the people of the territory fall into a carnival.
Harvest, joy, consumption.
….
Autumn night.
The sky was clear and cloudless.
In Pompeii Village No. 3, a temporary stage was built on the wheat field that had been harvested. The stage was circular. The Pallada Circus was performing, and the villagers of Village No. 1 and nearby villagers sat and watched the circus performance.
The gorgeous animal training, thrilling acrobatic performances, and funny clowns all attracted rounds of applause from the villagers, and the atmosphere was joyful.
"Coming to Pompeii is really the wisest decision I have ever made in my life." A spectator exclaimed in the joyful atmosphere.
This spectator is a young man, with an ordinary appearance, but a very strong body, and traces of years of labor scattered on his body.
His name is Os, an ordinary farmer.
He came to Pompeii from the territory of the Marquis of Parker a year ago. He was at a loss when he came, but now he is full of happiness and joy.
This year's harvest is really very good, beyond Os's imagination. If every year can have such a big harvest, it would be so happy.
The farmers' thoughts are very simple, and the happiest and happiest thing is a good harvest, a very big harvest.
"I also think that coming to Pompeii is the wisest decision I have ever made in my life." A spectator next to him echoed. Os turned his head and saw a middle-aged man.
Farmers all look older, and this middle-aged man looks close to old age, but Os knows that he may be only forty years old.
"Where are you from?" The middle-aged man's approval made Os feel like he had met a comrade, so he asked.
This is Pompeii Village No. 3. Os is a villager of this village, but he doesn't know this middle-aged man. He should be from another village.
This is very common.
I heard that the performance lasts for a month, and many people watch it three times, four times, and countless times. They follow the circus to watch in whichever village it arrives.
"Marquis Parker, from Deep Forest Town. Mountain Cat." The middle-aged man introduced himself and stretched out his right hand.
"Marquis Parker, from Snow Mountain Town, Os." Os also stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Mountain Cat.
"Wrong." After letting go of his hand, Os shook his head and said with a smile.
"Wrong?" Mountain Cat was a little surprised, not knowing what Os was saying wrong.
"We are not from the Marquis Parker Territory. We will all be from the Pompeii Territory in the future. Our lord is the Pompeii Knight. The lord of this generation is the Sol Pompeii Knight. The lord of the next generation is the Merciful, Luther, the Pompeii Knight."
Os said with a smile, his face full of respect and his tone full of pride.
Nicknamed "The Merciful".
As the current acting lord and the next generation of the Pompeii Knight, Os is sincerely proud to be the subject of this great lord.
"Yes, we are all Pompeii people." The mountain cat was slightly stunned, and then resonated in his heart, nodding in agreement.
The two smiled at each other, with great tacit understanding.
At this time, a clown performance was being performed on the stage. The clown is the soul of the circus. A good clown can set off the atmosphere.
And this clown from the Parada Circus is an extremely good actor.
At this moment, the performance was entering a climax, which aroused applause from the audience. This warm applause also affected Os and the mountain cat.
We’ll talk about making friends later, now just enjoy the fun that the circus brings.
"After the show, how about going to my house for a drink?" Os whispered in the mountain cat's ear.
"Okay." Mountain cat nodded happily.
Two strangers, connected by a show.
Wonderful.
This is also the general change brought about by this carnival, which makes the communication between the villages in the territory more frequent. The natives of Pompeii, serfs, and the people of the former Marquis Parker's territory have merged into a new group, the new Pompeii people.
There are also romantic stories of young men and women getting to know each other and then getting married.
Circus carnival is so wonderful.
At the same time, in the city hall.
At this moment, most of the rooms in the city hall are dark, only the mayor's office on the second floor is lit.
In the bright office, Luther sat on the windowsill with a glass of red wine in his hand. He looked up at the distant starry sky and took a sip from time to time.
Lelouch sat in the mayor's office chair and drank red wine.
Don't get me wrong, the two are not gay.
Instead, he suddenly felt like drinking a glass of wine to celebrate, so he opened a bottle of red wine.
"The agriculture in the territory has been initially stabilized, and the next step is to wait for the residents to arrive in Pompeii. Our plan is going very smoothly, Luther."
Lelouch has a good alcohol tolerance, and he didn't drink much red wine at this time, but he was a little drunk. He opened his drunken eyes and raised his glass to Luther.
Luther smiled, raised his glass and clinked it with Lelouch, and then the two drank a sip of red wine together.
When Luther and Lelouch met, Lelouch was a young man who failed to make a living outside and returned to Pompeii with a lot of hardships.
Luther was just the heir to a small territory.
Then Lelouch became the mayor of Pompeii, and Luther became the acting lord, and then there was Pompeii today.
This is certainly worth celebrating.
Pompeii, they injected their heart and soul into it, just like their children.
"Luther, you will become a baron sooner or later." Lelouch said again.
"Senior, you will become a real mayor sooner or later." Luther also said with a smile.
The two smiled at each other and clinked their glasses.
