Chapter 172 Lelouch's Artistic Style (Fifth Update)

Luther divided the gold coins into two parts outside the castle, asked Butler Feilun to command the guards, and the butler moved the gold coins and magic potions into the castle, and then Luther arrived at the city hall with the remaining 100,000 gold coins.

Luther found an official from the Ministry of Finance and asked the official to move the gold coins into the vault of the city hall. Then, in the stunned look of the official, Luther walked up to the mayor's office on the second floor.

He found the leader of Pompeii, Mayor Lelouch.

"Hehehe."

Pompeii has developed very smoothly recently. With the continuous influx of residents, the blank parts of the city are constantly being filled, and new real estate development plans are being implemented.

It can be said that Luther was a big worry in Lelouch's heart. The mayor was also a little leisurely, leaning on the chair, tapping the table lightly with his right hand, and humming some music.

Luther, William, and Old Sol all have no artistic cells, but the nobles in this world generally have artistic cells.

Lelouch, as well as Mr. Joshua, Mary, and Mrs. Sophie all know music.

Mary, Mr. Joshua taught Lelouch music.

"Hey, our mayor is going to compose a new piano piece?" Luther said in a teasing tone.

"Luther, you are also a student taught by my father. How come you can't even understand the classic cello, "Philips's Melody", and you are composing a new piano piece."

Lelouch rolled his eyes and sat up straight.

"Is this a cello piece?" Luther was a little surprised, but not embarrassed. He shrugged and sat down at the desk, saying, "You know, I have already returned my music knowledge to the teacher."

"You are just a cunning businessman, a shrewd lord, and a powerful knight." Lelouch nodded very understandingly.

After a relaxed conversation, Luther got to the point. He looked at Lelouch with a weird look, and then said, "Dear senior, I'm rich."

Luther wanted to tease Lelouch.

"No, Mousse, Gandal was murdered, and you happened to be at the scene, so were you confined by the Baron for a while? How did you get rich?"

Lelouch was a little surprised.

"Some lucky people can get gold coins from the sky even if they drink a sip of water." Luther shrugged and said with a face that deserved a beating.

Lelouch knew that Luther had really made a fortune when he heard this tone. The finances of the city hall have improved recently, but the finances are still very tight to develop a city.

So Lelouch was much more serious and asked, "How did you get rich, and how much did you make?"

"On my way back to Pompeii, I found a puddle on the edge of the Deep Forest Avenue. Out of curiosity, I sent guards to dig it, and as a result, I dug out 200,000 gold coins. I kept 100,000 gold coins for my family. I brought the remaining 100,000 gold coins."

Luther said in a relaxed and happy tone, and crossed his legs.

"One hundred thousand gold coins!!!!!!!"

Lelouch exploded on the spot.

Mrs. Sophie had never owned so many gold coins in her life, but she had seen them the last time Knight Stone returned with the bounty.

Lelouch had never seen them, let alone owned them.

This was a large sum of money.

This young senior had been acting mature since he became the mayor, leaving behind two funny beards.

His behavior was also mature.

But at this moment, he was as excited as a child, suddenly getting up from his chair and walking back and forth in the office.

"One hundred thousand gold coins, how many things can I do, how many things." The mayor kept muttering.

Luther crossed his legs, comfortably admiring the senior who pretended to be mature, showing such an attitude.

"Luther, I want to build an opera house, a circus performance venue, and I want to hire an artist to add an art statue to the Pompeii Square."

Lelouch returned to his chair and sat down, crossing his hands on the desk, and said seriously.

Pompeii Square is a square in front of Pompeii Castle, which is specially provided for citizens to stroll and relax. The place is big enough, but Lelouch doesn't like it at all.

He thinks it lacks artistic atmosphere.

As a future mayor, Lelouch has always been very romantic.

He hopes that the future Pompeii will be prosperous and full of artistic atmosphere. Just like the Golden City, just like the Royal Capital.

The city is full of statues full of artistic atmosphere and squares with grand designs.

Several large opera houses, high-level music schools, painting, literature and poetry schools. In short, the whole city should be full of artistic atmosphere.

As for the circus, Lelouch had never thought about a circus before, but since the last circus performance received unprecedented support, he also felt that he should design several performance venues in the future Pompeii.

This is also what Luther needs.

A metropolis that is both commercially prosperous and full of artistic atmosphere.

Who doesn't like it?

Besides, what is an artist? Artists are the playthings of the nobles and the middle class. A city with an artistic atmosphere can attract more nobles and the middle class to settle down.

And these people often carry a lot of wealth.

This is very good.

Whether it is a school, an opera house, or a circus, Luther will hand it over to the city hall to operate, and will not include it in the family business.

"These infrastructure construction should be put on the agenda, but the scale of the circus must be large. I am afraid that the current city cannot accommodate it."

Luther agreed with a smile, but also expressed his opinion.

"Then build the opera house in the city and the circus outside the city. Pompeii is going to expand anyway, and now it is just expanding in advance."

Lelouch said without hesitation.

"Okay, you can spend 100,000 gold coins however you want. There is only one purpose, to make Pompeii better." Luther said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Luther, because Pompeii is our business and our child. I will use my life's efforts to build a great city."

Lelouch said firmly, his face full of excitement.

He is a romantic man who can sacrifice his life to pursue his dreams, and he is also a trustworthy and respectable partner.

Looking at Lelouch's expression, Luther felt that he should celebrate. He took down the red wine and two wine glasses from one side of the office.

He opened the red wine himself and filled the two glasses.

"Cheers, Pompeii."

Then Luther raised his glass and clinked it with Lelouch.

"Cheers, Pompeii."

Lelouch smiled and drank this glass with Luther.

An ambitious lord, an ambitious mayor, two equally ambitious people working together, Pompeii is destined to be better.

Two hundred thousand gold coins came at the right time.
