Chapter 148 The Popular Luther
Pompeii!
It is morning now, and there are people in the city. The newly opened restaurant is open for business. Although there are not many customers, it is a good start.
The market is also becoming lively.
In the past, only the Pompeii family was doing meat business in the market, and the main business targets were knights. Now, in addition to the meat business, there are also stalls selling vegetables and fruits.
There are even seafood stalls.
However, these seafood are not produced by Pompeii, including fruits, vegetables, etc., which are purchased wholesale from Kaiyue City by residents before dawn and then transported to sell.
Business is not very good, but there are always customers, and it is developing in a good direction.
There are even shops selling handicrafts in the city, such as ceramics used by ordinary farmers, and newly opened clothing stores.
In short, various commercial activities are taking place.
This will certainly affect the business of the Pompeii family, because many businesses were previously exclusively operated by the Pompeii family, but it doesn’t matter, because they have to pay taxes to open a store.
The tax revenue of the city hall will become richer.
Tomorrow is hunting time, so people from six major families have arrived in Pompeii today. The Solon family was the first to arrive.
"What a thriving city." Lipton and Solon sat in the carriage, watching everything outside through the glass, and couldn't help but exclaimed with heartfelt admiration.
I remember that when he came here to attend the banquet more than a year ago, it was all bare farmland. Although it was not desolate, who would have thought that a city could be built in a short time.
Seeing such a city, Newton didn't want to go back to the past. After all, he had a very close relationship with Luther, and the development of the Pompeii family also made him sincerely happy.
Not to mention Mrs. Solon, she was Luther's aunt.
Not only the Lipton family was admiring, because there were also many girls of the Solon family who came to visit, and some outstanding boys.
The girls and boys were watching the situation outside the carriage, and they all exclaimed with admiration.
Look.
Which of the six major families in the past didn't have a castle and a farmland? Now the Pompeii family actually owns a town.
The girls thought more. They had heard that the next generation of Pompeii knights, Luther, Pompeii's last girlfriend was captured by a monster. What a pitiful person.
But her pity is my luck.
We can take advantage of the opportunity.
As Lipton and Soran said before, the current Pompeii family is no longer the same. The last time Luther held a banquet, there were many noble girls who came, not to mention this time.
The boys' ideas are much simpler, but they also have a purpose.
The boys who can come are all excellent boys from the Soran family. They are either junior knights or quasi-knights. As a boy from a knight noble family, they must choose a family to serve in the future.
Or learn from some predecessors of the family and become mercenaries or adventurers.
In the past, there were not many ways for these noble descendants. They counted and counted, but only the Baron family and several powerful vassals of the Baron family.
But now it is different. They have an additional Pompeii family to choose from.
After all, the six families have a very close relationship with each other, and they are willing to choose the Pompeii family to serve as officials and become the Pompeii family's guard knights.
What's more, many of their elders are Pompeii's guard knights.
Regardless of the purpose of the boys and girls, their target is Luther, Pompeii. This rumored excellent business lord.
Acting lord, the next generation of Pompeii knights.
Build a good relationship with this next generation of Pompeii knights, and the future life will definitely be wonderful.
The team soon arrived in front of Pompeii Castle. There were many guards standing outside the castle, and Luther went out to greet them. Because old Sol went to retreat, he was the host of this gathering of the six families.
"Hi, uncle."
The Soran family and many guests came down, and Luther stepped forward to hug his uncle and said hello.
"Hi, Luther."
Lipton, Soran hugged Luther hard, then rubbed Luther's face with his beard, and laughed at Luther's helpless expression.
After hugging Lipton and Soren, Luther hugged his aunt and cousin Newton.
"Cousin, why do you have dark circles under your eyes?" Luther looked at the fat man's eyes with some surprise.
"I didn't sleep well last night." Newton shrugged.
"You guys eat, drink and have fun all day long, and sleep when you are tired. How could you not sleep well?" Luther said in surprise.
"People always grow up." Newton's tone was a little vicissitudes, and then he asked back: "You are the same. I heard that you have been depressed for several days since Miss Ruth was taken away?"
Luther understood that this kid must have encountered something, and it was basically related to women.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's meet the relatives of our family that you know and those that you don't know." Newton said a little funny, and then pointed to a group of boys and girls behind him.
The girls were the majority.
Looking at this group of handsome and beautiful boys and girls, Luther showed an impeccable smile, then put his right hand on his chest, bent down and said: "Gentlemen, ladies, welcome to the Pompeii Castle."
"Knight Luther."
The girls pinched the corners of their skirts and saluted Luther. The boys also put their right hands on their chests and bowed to Luther.
Luther was quite interested in the girls, after all, he wanted to start a new relationship. But it was not easy to start now.
He led a group of people into the castle and made separate arrangements for the Soren family. The boys and girls, as well as Newton, asked them to stay in the living room on the second floor, and asked Mrs. Sophie to take Mrs. Soren down to get together, while he and his uncle Mrs. Soren came to another small living room.
Of course, there was a purpose for doing this.
After all, this time, the six nobles gathered together. Old Thor and his uncle Knight Sauron were the real leaders, and this gathering had special significance.
As the acting lord, Luther naturally had to do the things of the acting lord.
After arriving at the small living room, Luther first asked his uncle to sit down, and then asked the maids to come in and prepare snacks, tea, etc., and then sat down.
"Uncle, this gathering has two purposes. One is naturally to increase the feelings between our families. The six major families have been like this for hundreds of years, so I don't need to say more. The second purpose is about Latin and Will."
Luther said to Lipton and Sauron very seriously.
Lipton and Sauron obviously heard some rumors about this matter, and their expressions did not seem surprised. He nodded and said, "The Will family is an isolated existence in Barton Territory. I have no objection to absorbing the Will family into our circle. I believe other knights are the same."
After expressing his attitude first, Lipton couldn't help but ask curiously, "This Latin, Mr. Knight Will, has he really been controlled by the wizard for several years?"
"It's true. That perverted wizard controls Knight Will and flirts with women everywhere." Luther nodded.
"What a poor guy." Lipton, Soran sighed sympathetically. Thinking about being controlled by others for several years and living in a daze, he couldn't help but shudder.
Too miserable.
