Luther's original plan was to grow slowly and accumulate strength. Whether it was to transform the agriculture of Pompeii or to research distillation technology, the purpose was to accumulate wealth.
Only with financial resources and strength can the Pompey family's title be elevated.
And wealth is the first priority, because only with wealth can you buy magic potions.
Now Luther's journey to becoming a knight has been very bumpy, because his progress has been slow, and his talent is neither good nor bad, just above average.
If I continue to hone my skills like dripping water makes a hole, I will probably be at best a mid-level knight in this lifetime.
That won't work.
All in all, a wretched development.
But things were different after a conversation with Old Saul. I got some information about the Patton family's troubles and the six major families.
Lucy, let's put the Patton matter aside for now. Anyway, it will take a long time for the current Baron Patton to die of old age.
The six major families are different.
This is the political legacy left by Old Sol and the ancestors of the Pompeii family, especially Old Sol, who is the leader of the six major families of this generation.
This raises his status.
Besides, little fat boy Newton is his cousin.
The other teenagers also grew up together. The most important thing is that Luther is a time traveler. After all, he is a few years older than these little guys.
With a purpose, it is easy to gain the admiration of these little guys and become a leader.
But there is no rush for this matter, after all, it takes a long time. The boss does not grow up all at once, just like a seedling, slowly accumulating prestige and growing up.
After chatting with these little guys for a long time, Luther acted mature, initially established his leadership position, and asked the little guys to spend less time playing around and more time in knight training.
If the six major families unite to establish a new barony in the future, the little ones will definitely be the backbone.
In short, it is just fooling children, which is not honorable and there is nothing to say.
After chatting with the little ones for a while, Luther took them back to the hall to continue the banquet. The women still surrounded Lucy and Barton.
To be honest, the third son of the baron is indeed handsome and elegant, and is a perfect husband and lover for a lady.
Only Luther knew that the Third Young Master had previously despised these women as "country women"
"Haha, you are a noble who says one thing and means another."
But Luther quickly remembered that he was also a noble, so he didn't think about it any further.
Late at night, the party ended.
The distinguished guests from the six major families, as well as Lucy and Patton were invited by the Pompeii family to stay in the castle, while their guards camped outside the castle to rest.
As for the more noble descendants, I'm sorry.
The castle didn't have that many rooms, so we had to camp outside the castle.
As I said before, it's about status. The real nobles and the descendants of nobles are actually two completely different classes.
Luther also breathed a sigh of relief. So many things happened at today's banquet, and Luther also consumed some of his energy. He didn't expect that these political matters were more tiring than knight training.
It is better to stay out of politics.
I still prefer to grow slowly and quietly, and when I am strong enough, I will give the entire Kingdom of Prussia a surprise.
hehe.
Luther was mentally exhausted and planned to go to the bedroom upstairs to rest. He missed the soft bed, and little Maya must have made it.
What a cute little maid.
She's just a little bit aggressive and not considerate.
But at this moment, a girl called him.
"Master Luther."
The voice sounded familiar. Luther looked up at the girl, then nodded, turned back, smiled at the girl and said, "Miss Ruth."
It's the girl with brown hair.
Not long ago, Luther learned that the girl was called Ruth, Ruth, Ruth, and her bloodline could be traced back to an ancient marquis, but the bloodline was very weak.
A descendant of aristocrats engaged in business.
The girl was pretty, and she fit Luther's aesthetic standards. She had brown hair that was slightly curly and shiny. Her face was gentle, and she had the charm of an oriental woman.
Big eyes, small nose, and plump lips.
Her facial features are also impeccable.
As for her figure, she is a little plump, but not exaggerated.
Of course, if Luther didn't like this kind of girl, he wouldn't have invited her to the first dance.
Luther has no plans to get married yet.
Now almost all the guests had left, except for Ruth. There was a couple standing in the distance, who looked to be Ruth's parents.
This is normal, a young girl cannot come to such a party alone.
Luther also understood the girl's purpose in calling him.
The partner who danced the first dance at the party, and the purpose of this party was a blind date. The girl must have had some fantasies in her heart.
Ruth looked at Luther's face, his golden hair, handsome features, and tall and straight figure.
Plus Pompey's status as heir.
To these descendants of nobility, it glitters like gold.
She is already sixteen years old this year, not too old, but not too young either. There are two paths for her destiny. One is to marry a descendant of aristocracy with a surname, like most of the descendants of aristocrats.
The second is to find an heir to a real noble family like Luther to marry.
The difference between before and after is obvious at a glance.
So she came to the castle of Pompeii with her parents, and the other girls who came this time all had the same purpose.
She was lucky enough to get the first dance with Luther. She was pleasantly surprised because she thought she was not the best among the girls present.
She was upset because Luther had no further communication with her after the dance.
But she didn't want to give up, because Luther was too perfect for a descendant of aristocracy like her.
Right of inheritance of territory.
Handsome face and handsome figure.
In the eyes of young girls, he is definitely very elegant.
If you miss this excellent nobleman, it will be hard to find him next time. So she could see that Luther was a little perfunctory about this banquet.
But he still mustered up the courage and called out to Luther.
Maybe there is a chance?
"Well, can I write to you?" Looking at Luther's handsome face, Ruth started to have a fever and her face turned red.
She lowered her head slightly, looked at her toes, and said shyly.
"A very innocent girl." This is Luther's evaluation. Of course, it is just a preliminary evaluation. Most of the noble ladies are drama queens. Whether they are truly innocent or not can only be known by getting to know them in depth.
But it is undeniable that Luther had a good first impression of the girl.
Now the second impression is also pretty good.
Good looks and good figure.
The personality seems good too.
Although I don’t want to get married now, it would be nice to have a female companion.
Beautiful girls always make people happy both physically and mentally.
"Sure." Luther smiled elegantly at the girl's surprised expression.
