When Luther returned to Pompeii Castle, he immediately sent someone to take 50,000 gold coins from the family's treasury and sent a knight to deliver them to Solon Castle.

Originally, Luther had spent most of the gold coins he got from selling ten Snow Flowers, but from the last Red Dragon incident, Luther earned another 100,000 gold coins.

So now I can still take out 50,000 gold coins from the small treasury.

Of course, after taking away 50,000 gold coins, the small treasury was empty again.

After giving instructions for this matter, Luther went to the city hall again.

It would be a simple matter to kill Viscount Silver Wing by force. Old Thor could do it himself, but the matter would definitely be exposed.

As the Archon of Orange and the backer of all the lords, the Earl of Libya will never allow such a thing to happen. After killing Viscount Silver Wing, they will have to face the Earl of Libya's army.

But there are too many ways in this world to kill people without shedding blood. But the person who has the ability to use such means must be an extraordinary person.

You have to have some ability.

Luther is a capable person, but he needs to find another capable person to cooperate with him to accomplish this task.

That's Lelouch.

After Luther arrived at the City Hall, many officials greeted Luther. Luther still nodded calmly one by one, and then came to the mayor's office on the second floor.

The window was open, and the sun and wind came in. But the sun also shone directly on the mayor's desk. Lelouch was not a knight, and couldn't stand the heat, so he moved a chair and sat in the corner of the office.

"The office is grand and large, but it's not so pleasant in the summer." Luther said to the embarrassed Lelouch with a smile.

Lelouch rolled his eyes, glanced at the room across from him and said, "I plan to open a small office across from here as well. I will work here in the morning and across from here in the afternoon. This way I can avoid this annoying sunlight."

From this perspective, knights are much more straightforward than ordinary people. Even if Luther is exposed to the sun for a whole day, nothing will happen to him.

"How about I buy you some potions so you can become a knight too?" Luther asked.

As long as you dare to spend money, a pig can also become a knight, but such a knight has no fighting power. However, Luther felt that it was worth spending the money on his mayor.

Only by making Lulu fatter and stronger can he do his job better.

"Mayor's welfare? Of course." Lelouch's eyes sparkled. Then, Luther thought about how to buy potions from Mr. Tel.

Because the potions used by junior knights are different from those used by ordinary people, and the potions used by ordinary people may be more expensive.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Luther said to Lelouch: "Help me investigate the finances, economy, and politics of the Viscount Silver Wing Territory, starting from all aspects."

Lelouch's mustache moved slightly, and he looked at Luther meaningfully, then asked, "How's that Newton kid?"

Newton and Luther grew up together, and Lelouch is also very familiar with them.

"That guy doesn't go down that easily," Luther said.

"That's good. It would be too tragic if the little fat guy never recovered." Lelouch breathed a sigh of relief, then said: "Okay, I will give you detailed information."

"But it is not an easy task to completely destroy his territory. It requires a lot of energy and a certain amount of political support. At least the Libyan Earl cannot interfere in this matter."

Lelouch said, obviously understanding Luther's plan.

"Like someone else, I went to Golden City several times and accumulated some connections." Luther shrugged.

Lelouch's expression changed immediately. Luther was pointing at him. He had been to the Golden City and was once full of ambition, but eventually returned to Pompeii in disgrace.

He didn't want Luther to know about this dark past.

But now it seems that it can't be hidden.

"It must have been that talkative guy Bowser Brown who said that." Lelouch felt very upset.

A thief must feel guilty.

People who are evil will never have a good expression.

Lelouch said: "Since you are so confident in letting me collect intelligence, you must be confident in destroying his territory. If you can go one step further and kill the Viscount, then we can do something about it."

Luther sensed the deep meaning behind this, narrowed his eyes and asked, "What?"

Lelouch stood up, looking very hot, and his heart was even hotter. He unbuttoned his shirt and said with a little interest: "Now the whole kingdom is covered by the shadow of the New Party. The Archon of Orange and the Count of Libya must be in a state of panic. Because the New Party wants to take over Orange, it must kill the big guys like the Count of Libya and the Duke of Felger. On the contrary, we small people will be less affected, so we can take the opportunity to do something. The threat of the New Party is huge, but we can do something before that. If you can kill the Viscount Silver Wing, how about you become the Governor of Silver Wing?"

Luther's eyes narrowed into a slit, like an old fox. Luther said: "Lelouch, you are really bad."

"Same here, same here." Lelouch shrugged.

Let's leave the topic here for now, because Luther began to think about this matter.

Before this, Luther's plan was just to destroy the territory of Viscount Silver Wing, making it impossible for the Silver Wing family to stay in the entire territory, and then take the opportunity to kill Viscount Silver Wing.

Lelouch's plan goes a step further and seeks to seize the Silver Wing Territory.

The Kingdom of Prussia is now in a period where the great nobles on the ground and the great nobles at court are competing with each other. The king's territory is very large, and the great nobles on the ground are not inferior either.

This led to a stalemate between the two sides.

The king has not established new real nobles for a long time, so how does he manage the territory?

The answer is to establish a governor.

In the king's territory, each province had a governor, and then there were various city lords. These governors and city lords were all powerful court nobles, and they did not have hereditary rights.

This concentrated power in the hands of the king.

It stands to reason that if Viscount Silver Wing died, the title would be inherited by his son. Even if Viscount Silver Wing's entire family was killed, the title would still fall to the side branch of the family.

This is the rule of the nobility.

The Count of Libya was the maintainer of this rule.

Even if the title of Viscount Silver Wing was not passed down, how could Luther become the governor? But now that the shadow of the New Party has spread across the entire Kingdom of Prussia, this has become possible.

If a riot broke out in Viscount Silver Wing's territory and Viscount Silver Wing was killed, the strength of Barton Territory would be greatly weakened. This would be bad news for all the nobles in Orange.

If the new party causes chaos, then the territories of Viscount Silver Wing and Patton will be the hardest hit areas.

We need a strong person to turn the whole situation around.

The Pompeii family, which has a great knight, has the ability to turn the tide.

Although the governor was appointed by the king, Orange was now self-governed by the great nobles on the ground, and the nominal consul was the Count of Libya.

If the situation is urgent, and with the consent of the Earl of Libya and other great nobles, Luther can become a free governor who does not have to be loyal to the king.

It's just like that saying goes.

Kill people and exterminate their entire clan.

Luther can not only kill Viscount Silver Wing, but also hope to cut off the roots of the Silver Wing family.

Hey, it's karma.
