The Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 73: Knight Commander of the Pompeii Family

If someone asks Luther, what should be done about this matter?

Luther will definitely raise his hands and say, "I wish I could do it."

Let's not talk about the issue of knights. The current layout of Pompeii is to accommodate 5,000 residents. Now there are less than 200 residents. How miserable it is.

Even if the Correction Knights come here to settle down with their family members as civilians, it will increase the population of Pompeii.

Not to mention that the Correction Knights themselves are knights.

Knights can do well anywhere. Being a mercenary or a guard knight is a high-income job. Not only can you maintain your own knight's development, but you can also support your family.

Especially for traditional aristocratic forces like the Pompeii family who are eager to expand their territory, expand their power, and increase their combat power, they wish for the Correction Knights.

But the problem is that there are also knights with bad conduct, or simply people with ulterior motives. There are not many knights who can be trusted and reliable.

So although the Pompeii family is eager to expand its combat power, it did not recruit knights on a large scale, but chose to select guard knights from the six closest families.

So the Pompeii family is embarrassed.

Knights are needed to expand the combat power, but no reliable knights can be found for the time being.

As for the Knight of Correction, in Luther's brief contact, he felt that this person's character was relatively reliable. In the last Warcraft incident, according to the identity of the Knight of Correction as a mercenary, he only needed to take good care of Miss Ruth, but the Knight of Correction stood with him and defeated the poisonous acid lizard with the combat power of three knights.

This proves that the Knight of Correction is an upright knight. In today's world full of betrayal, the character of the Knight of Correction is noble.

It is very consistent with the current standards of Pompeii's recruitment of knights.

But Luther can't agree immediately.

Just like the boss of a company, when facing a job seeker, can he agree to the other party at once? Obviously not.

The lord and the boss are not the same, but there are still common points.

Luther considered his words and replied, "Thank you for your appreciation. The Pompeii family is proud of this. But you also know that there are many complicated procedures for a family to recruit guard knights. Please allow me not to agree to you immediately. If you don't mind, I can temporarily arrange for my family to live in Pompeii. I have many vacant villas here."

"I understand."

The Correction Knight smiled with understanding.

A guard knight not only needs to pay expensive wages, but also needs to ensure the loyalty of the knight. It is not something that can be decided so easily.

Necessary investigations are inevitable, but the Correction Knight is very upright and has no dark side. He believes that he will serve Pompeii for the rest of his life.

That feeling is very pleasant.

It represents stability and future.

It is indeed just as Luther guessed. The reason why the Correction Knight chose the Pompeii family is not only because the Pompeii family seems to be expanding rapidly and needs knights.

It is also because of the charm shown by Luther.

Who has seen a lord who is willing to protect his guards? Anyway, the Correction Knight has not seen it, so his place of residence is the Pompeii family.

"Thank you for your understanding." Luther also smiled. Then, Luther and the Knight of Correction walked out of the study and went down the castle.

Luther personally took the Knight of Correction and his family to a villa and settled down.

Although the Knight of Correction is middle-aged, his wife is surprisingly young. She looks only 23 or 24 years old. She has two children, one is four years old holding hands, and the other is one year old still in his wife's arms.

Seeing this scene, Luther was thoughtful.

The career of a mercenary means high risk. With the ties of family, the Knight of Correction has a strong desire for a stable life.

This may also be the reason why the Knight of Correction chose to change his career and become a guard knight.

In short, the Knight of Correction settled down in Pompeii. After settling the Knight of Correction, Luther immediately rushed to the city hall and found Lelouch who was reading documents in the office.

"Correction, Borgia. Noble, member of the Borgia family, 42 years old, junior knight. Go investigate this person."

Luther knocked on Lelouch's office and said.

Lelouch, the mayor of Pompeii. A member of the Bonaparte family, the son of Luther's cultural teacher, Joshua Bonaparte, he had been out for a while before becoming the mayor of Pompeii.

He has a certain network of contacts throughout the Orange Province.

So, investigate the origin and identity of the Knight of Correction, confirm his life, and leave it to him.

"Borgia family? I seem to have heard of this family. It seems that the main branch is a court noble, and the hereditary title is baron. How come this knight of the Borgia family intends to be loyal to Pompeii?"

Lelouch raised his head and said in surprise.

"Pompeii is a family with potential. Is it strange that someone wants to be loyal to Pompeii?" Luther answered with some pride.

"That's true." Lelouch shook his head, and then said happily: "Okay, leave this matter to me."

Pompeii.

Pompeii.

As the mayor of Pompeii, Lelouch sincerely rejoices the development and growth of the Pompeii family. Good.

About twenty days later, Lelouch's investigation of Shuu-shi, the Borgia Knight, was over. The identity of the Borgia family member was confirmed, but his bloodline was very distant from the main branch.

Shuu-shi's resume was nothing special, just ordinary, no decent record, no decent experience, extremely dull.

As for the inner character, the information collected from all aspects shows that the character of the Correction Knight is noble and upright.

After the investigation, Luther took out the contract and signed it formally with the Correction Knight, accepting the Correction Knight as a family knight, with a monthly salary of ten gold coins.

So far, the number of knights in the Pompeii family, including Luther and Old Sol, has reached an astonishing seventeen. Among the knight lord families in the entire Patton territory, the Pompeii family is also the best.

And one of the links in Luther's previous planning of the political, military, and official layout of the Pompeii territory has been put on the agenda.

This is the candidate for the Knight Commander.

A family of scale should have a Knight Commander. This Knight Commander does not have specific great power, but it is very necessary to establish it.

Because as the number of family knights increases, it is necessary to arrange the knight's itinerary.

Knights are also people, and they have various things.

Sickness, vacation, marriage, etc.

The Pompeii family needed a Knight Commander to manage the increasing number of knights in the family, and the candidate for this Knight Commander was ready to be chosen in Luther's mind.

Ston, Pompeii.

This Pompeii family member, a strong and reliable mid-level knight.

He was the only candidate for the Pompeii family Knight Commander.
