Luther divided the gold coins into two parts outside the castle, and asked Butler Fei Lun to command the guards and the butlers to move the gold coins and potions into the castle. 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 him to move the gold coins into the vault of the City Hall. Then, in the stunned look of the official, Luther walked leisurely up to the mayor's office on the second floor.

Found the leader of Pompeii, Mayor Lelouch.

“Hehehe.”

The development of Pompeii has been very smooth recently. With the continuous influx of residents, the blank areas in the city are being filled and new real estate development plans are being implemented.

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

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

Lelouch, as well as Sensei Joshua, Mary, and Lady Sophie all understand music.

Mary, Lelouch's music was taught by teacher Joshua.

"Oh, is our mayor 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", let alone the new piano piece."

Lelouch rolled his eyes and sat up straighter.

"Is this a cello piece?" Luther was a little surprised, but he didn't feel 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 in understanding.

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

Luther wants to play a trick on Lelouch.

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

Lelouch was a little surprised.

"Some lucky people can get gold coins falling from the sky even if they drink a sip of water." Luther shrugged and said with a look of asking for a beating.

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

So Lelouch became more serious and asked, "How did you get rich? 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 up, and they dug out 200,000 gold coins. I kept 100,000 of them for my family. I brought the remaining 100,000 gold coins with me."

Luther said in a lighthearted tone, crossing his legs.

"One hundred thousand gold coins!!!!"

Lelouch exploded on the spot.

Lady 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.

And Lelouch had never even seen it, let alone possessed it.

That's a lot of money.

This young senior has been acting mature since he became the mayor, with two funny mustaches.

Their behavior also tends to be mature.

But at this moment he was as excited as a child. He suddenly got up from his chair and walked back and forth in the office.

"With one hundred thousand gold coins, I can do so many things. So many things." The mayor kept muttering.

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

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.

I think it lacks artistic flavor.

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

He hoped that the future Pompeii would be prosperous and full of artistic atmosphere, like a golden city and a royal capital.

The city is full of artistic statues and grandly designed squares.

Several large opera houses, advanced music schools, painting, literature and poetry schools. In short, the whole city should be filled with artistic atmosphere.

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

This is what Luther needs.

A metropolis with prosperous business and full of artistic atmosphere.

Who doesn’t like it? Besides, what is an artist? Artists are the things that the nobility and the middle class play with. A city with an artistic atmosphere can attract more nobility 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 run and will not include it in the family business.

"It's time to put these infrastructure construction on the agenda, but the circus must be large in scale. I'm afraid the current city can't accommodate it."

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

"Then build the opera house inside the city and the circus outside. Pompeii is going to expand anyway, and now it's just expanding ahead of schedule."

Lelouch said without hesitation.

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

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

Lelouch said firmly, his face filled with excitement.

He is a romantic man who is willing to sacrifice his life to pursue his dreams, and he is also a partner worthy of trust and respect.

Seeing Lelouch's expression, Luther thought 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, Pompey."

Then Luther raised his glass and clinked it with Lelouch.

"Cheers, Pompey."

Lelouch smiled widely and drank the cup with Luther.

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

Two hundred thousand gold coins came just in time.
