Pompeii collar.

Ever since the first generation of Pompeii Knights established the territory, it has always been hovering between weakness and decay.

When they were weak, they were like Pompeii in the old Sol era. Although the Pompeii family was known as aristocrats, they had to deal with farmers and serfs all year round. Although the territory was peaceful and quiet, it was definitely a rural area in the countryside.

When the territory was in ruins, it was attacked by terrible monsters. This kind of thing happened many times in Pompeii's history. Sometimes, the Pompeii knights brought heavy casualties to Baron Patton, and then rebuilt the territory with the support of the baron.

Even worse, the knights of Pompey died in battle.

The cycle of weakness and ruin seemed to have formed for countless years. The change of Pompeii began with Luther.

Since Luther began to develop Pompeii, the family now has a total of fifteen knights, about twelve thousand peasants, 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 come to the territory to perform, 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 as hiring a circus to perform in their territory.

I'd rather drink more wine with that money.

Pompeii is a small rural place. Does it still need a circus to perform?

What a joke.

But Luther did it. He made Pompeii bigger, built a city, and hired a circus to perform in Pompeii.

Intends to make the people of the territory fall into a frenzy.

Harvest, joy, consumption.

….Autumn night.

The sky is clear and cloudless.

In Pompeii Village No. 3, a temporary circular stage was built on the harvested wheat field. The Pallada Circus was performing there, and the villagers from Village No. 1 and nearby villagers were sitting and watching the circus performance.

The gorgeous animal training, thrilling acrobatic performances, and funny clowns all drew rounds of applause from the villagers, creating a joyful atmosphere.

"Coming to Pompeii is the wisest decision I have ever made in my life." An audience member exclaimed in the joyful atmosphere.

The audience member was a young man with an ordinary appearance, but a very strong body, and his body showed signs of years of hard work.

His name is Os, an ordinary farmer.

A year ago, he came to Pompeii from the territory of Marquis Parker. He was confused when he came, but now he is full of happiness and joy.

This year's harvest is really good, better than Oss could have imagined. It would be such a blessing if we could have such a big harvest every year.

Farmers have very simple thoughts. The happiest thing for them is a good harvest, a very good harvest.

"I also think coming to Pompeii is the wisest decision I have ever made in my life." A spectator nearby echoed. Os turned around and saw a middle-aged man.

Farmers all look older, and this middle-aged man seems to be close to old age, but Oss knows that he may be only forty years old.

"Where are you from?" The middle-aged man's agreement made Oss feel like he had met a comrade, so he asked.

This is Pompeii Village No. 3. Oss is a villager of this village, but he does not know this middle-aged man. He must be from another village.

This is very common.

I heard that the performance lasts for a month, and many people go to see it three, four, and countless times. They follow the circus to whichever village it goes to perform and watch.

"Marquis Parker, from Deep Forest Town. Mountain Cat." The middle-aged man introduced himself and extended his right hand.

"Marquis Parker, from Snow Mountain Town, Os." Os also stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Bobcat.

"Wrong." After letting go of his hand, Oss shook his head and said with a smile.

"Wrong?" Bobcat was a little surprised, not knowing what Oss was saying was wrong.

Os said with a smile, his face full of respect and his tone full of pride.

Nicknamed "The Merciful One".

As the current acting lord and the next generation of Pompeii Knights, Oss feels sincerely proud to be a subject of this great lord.

"Yes, we are all Pompeii people." Bobcat was slightly stunned, then resonated in his heart and nodded in agreement.

The two people smiled at each other, showing a perfect understanding.

At this time, a clown performance was going on 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 reaching its climax, which aroused applause from the audience. The enthusiastic applause also affected Oss and Bobcats.

We’ll talk about making friends later, now just enjoy the fun that the circus brings.

"After the performance, how about coming to my house for a drink?" Oss whispered in Bobcat's ear.

"Okay." Bobcat nodded happily.

Two strangers became connected because of a performance.

wonderful.

This was also the general change brought about by the carnival, which made the communication between the various villages in the territory more frequent. The natives of Pompeii, serfs, and the people of the former Marquis of Parker's territory 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, inside the City Hall.

At this moment, most of the rooms in the city hall were dark, only the mayor's office on the second floor was 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, also drinking wine.

Don't get me wrong, these two are not gay.

Instead, I suddenly felt like having a drink to celebrate, so I opened a bottle of red wine.

"The agriculture in the territory has been initially stabilized. The next step is to wait for the residents to arrive in Pompeii. Our plan is going very smoothly, Luther."

Lelouch had a good alcohol tolerance, and although he didn't drink much wine, he looked a little drunk. With drunken eyes, he raised his glass to Luther.

Luther smiled, raised his glass and clinked it with Lelouch's, then the two of them took a sip of red wine together.

Back when Luther met Lelouch, Lelouch was a young man who had failed in his attempts to make a living outside and returned to Pompeii exhausted.

Luther was just the heir to a small estate.

Then Lelouch became the mayor of Pompeii, Luther became the acting lord, and then we have the Pompeii of today.

This is certainly worth celebrating.

Pompeii, they poured their heart and soul into it, just like it was their own child.

"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.
