Chapter 2: Looking to the Future



Mrs. Sophie quickly tried to smooth things over.

This lady is very young, only 28 years old this year. She has a beautiful face, a good figure, and a gentle personality.

He treated Luther as his own son, and Thor was satisfied with every aspect. The only thing that made the male owner complain was that his wife was a merchant, not a noble.

This made the male host feel a little uncomfortable.

"You only know how to pamper him." Thor expressed his dissatisfaction, but his expression softened a lot. In fact, Thor also remembered that when he was young, under the training of his father, his life was even harder than Luther's, but in the end he successfully inspired the power of the knight and inherited the Pompeii Territory.

He also had high hopes for Luther, hoping that Luther would become a knight like him in the future, or even surpass him.

But just like his wife said, Luther started his knight training at the age of eight, and apart from some necessary social activities, he was like a machine and never relaxed for a moment.

So Sol's heart softened, and after thinking about it, Sol said to Luther: "Take a day off today and have fun."

"Thank you, Dad." Rudborn lowered his head, intending to pretend to be dead while listening to Thor's scolding. He didn't expect that he would have a day off. He immediately looked up in surprise and quickly expressed his gratitude.

Taking a day off is nothing. He was mediocre in his previous life, and he came to this world just to show his talents. He is not averse to knight training and is even eager to try it.

But after all, I have just traveled through time. Although I have received the memories, there are still some things that need to be adjusted. It would be nice to have a day to walk around.

"Okay, let's eat." Thor Pompey nodded and said seriously.

Following the host's order, the family immediately began to eat. The main course was of course meat, and there was some vegetable soup. Whether it was Luther, or the younger Will, Mary cut the beef very quickly and fiercely, eating it in big mouthfuls.

This is the Pompeii family. Even when they eat, it feels like they are in a military camp.

After breakfast, Thor went out with his guards, as he had something to do today. Sophie stayed in the castle to handle some trivial matters, as she was a capable noble lady.

Will and Mary took cultural classes together, and in the afternoon, the nine-year-old Will had to undergo knight training.

Luther was ordered to rest and play, so of course he went out to play.

The castle of Pompeii's family is a small castle, roughly circular in shape and all black. The main building is at the back, and there are two rows of barracks on the left and right sides of the main building.

There are also other facilities such as stables and parade grounds.

The outer body is the wall.

There are one hundred soldiers in the castle, which is the military force of Pompeii's family.

"Master Luther." Luther came out of the main building. There were two guards in front of the gate. Since there was nothing major going on in the territory, the atmosphere was relatively relaxed. The two guards chatted from time to time. When they saw Luther coming out, they saluted immediately.

"Thank you for your hard work." Luther consoled the two guards based on his memory of his own performance.

The two guards felt a little embarrassed. They were just chatting, which didn't seem like they were doing their job well.

Luther quickly passed the two guards and wandered around the castle. Along the way, the soldiers and servants in the castle saluted Luther, allowing Luther to enjoy the same treatment as a wealthy landlord.

Finally Luther came to the city wall above the city gate, overlooking the entire Pompeii territory.

Gradually overlapping with the memories in my mind.

Luther was leaning against the parapet, his hands folded across his chest, his eyes gradually lost in thought. He began to think about his future.

Even if he didn't do well in the future, he could still inherit this territory and become a wealthy landlord. However, as a cultivator, he was unwilling to just eat and wait for death.

If you set the entire Kingdom of Prussia as your goal, even if you can't become a hereditary duke or marquis, you should at least be a real earl.

You must have some hope in life.

According to Luther, it was very difficult to ascend to the title of nobility in the Kingdom of Prussia. First of all, one had to have bloodline. In the entire Kingdom of Prussia, although it was not easy for a commoner's child to become a knight, there were also examples of people who inspired the power of knights to become knights. There were many such examples.

However, if these children of commoners want to become a knight lord with a fiefdom, it is basically like climbing to heaven, which is extremely difficult.

The nobility excluded the common people.

Because the Kingdom of Prussia is supreme in terms of bloodline, the nobler the blood, the more glorious it is.

Although the Pompeii family started from a low point, they still had some noble blood. The Pompeii family was a branch of an ancient earl's family.

Although the starting point is low, there is always hope of moving forward.

As for whether one can climb up to become a nobleman of at least the rank of earl, there are only two ways: one is military force, and the other is financial power.

If you have outstanding military power, you will have corresponding military achievements.

If you have huge financial resources, you will have connections.

These two things are the hard currency of the Kingdom of Prussia, and eventually they can be operated to climb up step by step.

But unfortunately, the Pompeii family, or to be more precise, Luther himself, had neither of these two paths.

There is no need to say much about financial resources. The Pompeii family only has one knighthood and no other income. As for outstanding military strength, Luther knew that he was not mediocre, but he was not outstanding either.

The so-called power of knight is to stimulate the potential of the human body and eventually form fighting spirit.

Luther started training as a knight at the age of eight and possessed a physique far superior to that of an ordinary person. He was fifteen years old this year and had not yet developed the power of a knight.

According to his father Thor's evaluation, he should be able to inspire fighting spirit by the age of sixteen.

The average age for a knight to be able to activate his power in this world is seventeen. Luther has heard that some geniuses can activate their fighting spirit at the age of thirteen or fourteen. In other words, his aptitude is above average, but definitely not outstanding.

"If you want to climb up and live a better life in this world, you must have outstanding martial arts skills. You have to think of a way to do it."

Luther pondered secretly.

But after thinking about it, Luther had no clue at all.

It may be that his vision is too narrow. After all, he is only a fifteen-year-old boy in his life, and he has basically spent his life in training.

It seems that this matter still needs further consideration.
