The answer is stability.
Although Luther played a major role in the development of the Pompeii family, it was also closely related to the relatively stable environment of Orange as a whole, the stability of the Patton Territory, and the protection of the Baron.
If it weren't for the baron's protection, no one would care what the Pompeii family is when you go out.
Therefore, Pompey and his son were still very grateful to the baron.
If there is unrest in Patton's territory in the future, since it will affect business activities, it will also distract the Baron's energy and may affect Pompeii's development.
Who murdered Mousse and Gandalf? Even with the Baron and Knight Barbana mobilizing a large number of people, they still could not find out the truth.
It is even more impossible to rely on guesswork and imagination.
So the topic ended here. Luther didn't want to play chess anymore. Coincidentally, Knight Stone also planned to go out for a walk. He hadn't been to Kaiyue City for a long time, so he took the opportunity to play.
So Luther was left alone in the room again, and he planned to take a nap.
Although the knight was full of energy and could go without sleep for three days and three nights, Luther still loved to sleep, as it could soothe his mood and allow him to dream.
Um.
But someone wasn't going to let Luther sleep.
"Luther." The baron's eldest daughter, Miss Alice, walked in very familiarly without Luther's consent, and sat opposite Luther, where Knight Stone had just sat.
"You lose again."
Alice looked at the chessboard, then propped up her smooth chin with her hand, stared straight at Luther, and said with a smile: "As the heir of the Pompeii family and the future Pompeii knight. In the future, you may lead the knights of the Barton family and go to the battlefield as a general. You can't play such a bad chess."
In this world, military chess games are vaguely linked to a person's military ability, so it is understandable that Alice said this about Luther.
"If I ever have to go to the battlefield, I will have qualified staff around me." Luther shrugged, still not caring about his military qualities.
After finishing speaking, Luther glanced at Alice.
The eldest daughter of the baron wore a purple dress today, which highlighted her delicate and fair skin. The close-fitting design made her plump figure more evident.
The slightly low neckline design reveals her fair complexion.
Luther swallowed his saliva in front of Alice, thinking in his heart that he hoped to have sex with the beautiful eldest daughter of the baron.
But Luther never really took action. First, this was the Baron's residence, second, he couldn't beat Alice, and third, he kept his distance from Alice.
Luther is an emotional guy, and sometimes his mood swings are quite big. But Luther is also a calm guy. He survived the rumors about Alice, and the first thought he had when he met Alice was to have a casual relationship.
Either they are in love or they are having sex.
But after Luther had been in contact with this lady for a long time, he found that this lady was definitely not someone to be trifled with. One example was when this lady played a trick on Mousse and Gandal.
This indirectly caused the death of the next generation of Gandal Knights.
This proves that although Alice's behavior may attract countless men, the threshold for actually getting involved is not low.
Luther just wanted to have some sex and didn't want to pursue Alice, so he naturally kept his distance.
But he was not in the mood to pursue Alice. However, since Alice dressed like this, Luther was thick-skinned and would sometimes go over her eye shadow.
Just like this time, Luther swallowed his saliva in front of Alice, and then looked at Alice unscrupulously, as if he wanted to strip Alice naked.
This gave Alice a chill. She had seen many men and knew that they coveted her. But those noble men considered themselves gentlemen and would only peek at her even if they had any thoughts. But the guy in front of her wanted to strip her naked.
Also, this guy never really got his hands on anything.
Anyway, Alice is becoming more and more interested in this guy.
So Alice restrained her recklessness a little, put down her hands, straightened her posture, and concealed her greatness a little.
Luther withdrew his gaze with some regret. It was really beautiful.
"I have prepared 200,000 gold coins. Should I send someone to Pompeii?" Alice started talking about serious matters.
Luther has no use for Xueminghua for the time being. It is better to use the money to develop the territory. Now the Pompeii family and the city hall are not well-off.
So when the matter of Mousse gradually came to a halt, Luther reached a deal with Alice.
However, two hundred thousand gold coins was a huge sum of money, and Alice couldn't take it out all at once, so it took Alice several days to collect the gold coins.
"Send someone to deliver it to the Pompey family's official residence in Kaiyue City. My family knights will be responsible for protecting the gold coins." Luther replied immediately.
Knight Stone did not come alone, he brought several knights with him.
Luther felt more at ease letting them guard the gold coins. He wanted to transport them back by himself, but there was no other way. As a poor guy who had never owned 200,000 gold coins, Luther was like a five-colored dragon, hoping to hold the gold coins tightly in his arms.
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements." Alice didn't care and said.
There was a silence, because the two of them were relatively familiar with each other, but not to that degree. However, Alice was very outgoing, and she soon asked with great interest, "By the way, have you figured out what it was that made the Eagle King give you ten snow flowers?"
The two people talked about this topic a few days ago.
It was also the first time that Luther realized how difficult it was to ask the Eagle King for the Snow Flower, and that there was only one chance in a lifetime, and one flower.
But the Eagle King gave him ten flowers, which was beyond the norm.
Of course Luther had an answer. Perhaps the Eagle King felt something or saw something, which made him so generous.
But Luther would not tell Miss Alice.
This matter must not be revealed to anyone.
Moreover, the Book of Sages was originally a collection of the Baron's family. Although it was not stolen by Luther, Luther always had a guilty feeling.
All in all, I can't say.
"I don't know." Luther lied with his eyes wide open and shook his head. Then he said in a suspicious tone: "Maybe it's because I'm strong enough? After all, I'm a man who can climb Eagle Mountain at the primary knight level."
At the end, Luther showed a smug expression.
This is fake.
Luther didn't want this kind of honor. The process was so difficult, painful, and bloody.
miserable.
Alice rolled her eyes at Luther. She felt that Luther was really thick-skinned. But she was also very curious about this matter.
Luther, Pompeii.
Why is it so powerful.
