Although the Drake Kingdom is adjacent to Prussia, its terrain is completely different, with many mountains and lakes in the territory.
County of Pompeii.
This territory is much larger than Orange, but because it is mostly mountains and lakes, its population is smaller than Orange.
Unlike the king of the Kingdom of Prussia whose prestige had been compromised, the king of the Kingdom of Drake still had prestige, so the relationship between the local nobles and the king was still a close relationship between monarch and subject.
Because the kingdom is so powerful, there are very few organized bandit gangs, large mercenary groups, and no new parties in the country.
In the south of the Earldom, there is a town called Xiboya. This town has a population of over 10,000 and is a typical small town.
The family that ruled this town were the lords under Count Pompey.
The Alto family.
According to the clues provided by Mrs. Smith, a small group of descendants of the Habsburg dynasty fled here when the dynasty collapsed, changed their surnames, and then disappeared quietly.
Perhaps there are still a very small number of bloodlines left, and what Luther has to do is to find these bloodlines.
The sun is shining and the weather is nice.
On the path leading to Xiboya City, a small team was heading towards Xiboya City. This small team consisted of seven riders, a driver, and an exquisite carriage.
There was a coat of arms on the exquisite carriage, with the pattern of mountains and a white eagle. There was also a flag on the carriage, with the pattern on the flag exactly the same as the coat of arms.
It was Luther and Pompey. The coachman was Mickey Williams, and the riders were other members of Luther's guard. Luther sat in the back seat of the carriage, holding a sleepy red-haired girl in his arms. Opposite Luther sat Marshall Williams.
"We have lived in a plain environment since childhood, and it is a special experience to occasionally look at the mountainous scenery." Marshall said excitedly while looking at the mountains outside the window.
"Great traveler Mr. Marshall, would you like to take this opportunity to recite a poem?" Luther teased. Aliena in his arms was drowsy, and Luther patted her head gently.
"You look like a real dad." Marshall also laughed.
"Being a nanny is not bad. If she were not a dragon but a cute baby, I would hold her for the rest of my life without any complaints." Luther said with a smile.
After the two friends had their daily bayonet fight, Luther turned his head and looked out the window. On the flat ground under the mountain, there were mostly farmlands, and the heavy ears of wheat were bent down.
It's autumn again.
After this autumn, the agricultural structure of White Eagle Territory will change. Many farmers will become workers.
At this critical juncture, I really don't want to leave White Eagle.
"You damn girl." Luther pinched Alena's face. His hands felt very soft. He didn't know the principle behind this transformation magic.
"Well, Master, don't pinch me." Aliena muttered, tilted her head, squinted her eyes, and then fell asleep again.
"By the way, I am going out with my guards this time. Why are you getting involved in this mess?" Luther asked, looking up.
"I was always with Mickey and the others on Treasure Planet. Now that they followed you, I am left alone. How lonely I am. Besides, I have been on Treasure Planet for a year. It is time for me to get out and have some fun in the world of pleasure." Marshall remained a playboy and said excitedly.
"Ah." Luther sighed.
"Why are you sighing?" Marshall asked curiously.
"I'm afraid there are many women in Xiboya City who are going to get pregnant by you." Luther sighed.
"Knock, knock, knock." There was a knock on the door, and then the driver Mickey's voice rang out. "Master, according to the map, we are still about five kilometers away from Xiboya City."
"Send all the guards out to find a place to stay first, and then start to inquire about the situation. Remember not to make a big fuss and keep a low profile. I don't want the Earl's family to hear about it."
Luther commanded.
"Yes." Mickey responded, and then the seven guards who were accompanying him rode their horses and went ahead.
Before dark, Luther arrived at the city of Xiboya and settled down in a medium-sized villa by a small lake in the north of the city.
After cleaning up the villa a bit, Luther put Alena under the bed, had dinner, and then lay down on the bed to rest.
The accompanying guards were sent out to gather information, and Marshall also left. This playboy would definitely not return home tonight.
The guards didn't get any information that night, so they all went out the next day. Luther was bored alone in the villa, so he cut a bamboo, made a fishing rod and started fishing.
The sun is shining and the sky is clear.
The surface of the small lake was gleaming with light, and small waves were lapping against the shore. On the shore, Luther was sitting on a small bench, fishing with a green fishing rod in his hand.
Luther's fishing skills were not very good, so after a long time, no fish was caught. Luther could not help but put the fishing rod on the ground and supported his chin with his free right hand.
Luther thought of the young man from Xiuxiua.
Xiu Xiuya is very good at fishing and can catch big fish. When I went to the lake with Xiu Xiuya when I was a child, I could always eat grilled fish in the evening.
And this guy has been missing for a long time.
He said something like, I want to grow up, I want to fight, and then left Pompeii with his bag on his back.
The result was the same as Newton's, and they were both troublesome guys.
Luther looked up in surprise, and saw a young man and a little boy walking towards him with a plate of cakes. The man had a handsome face and was dressed very aristocratically, but his clothes were a little gray and looked very old, and it was obvious that his family was not wealthy.
The little boy was about six or seven years old. He had red lips and white teeth and was very handsome. He had a rare head of black hair.
The little boy was a little shy and was holding on to the corner of the young man's clothes tightly.
"Hello, I'm your neighbor, Paco, Sydney. This is my son, Of, Sydney." Paco bent down and said to Luther.
"Hello, I'm Luther, Pompey." Luther also stood up and bowed. In fact, he was confused. What was this for?
"Your last name is Pompey? But your accent." Mr. Paco was a little surprised.
"My last name is Pompey, but I have nothing to do with Count Pompey here. As for my accent, I am from the Kingdom of Prussia. The kingdom is in a bit of chaos now, so I brought my family here to settle down." Luther said half-truthfully.
"I see." Mr. Paco nodded, then handed over the cake and said with a smile: "According to the tradition of the Earldom of Pompeii, we will prepare a cake for the new neighbor."
"So that's how it is. Thank you so much." Luther was surprised for a moment, but he respected the tradition here very much. He thanked him and reached out to take it.
The two chatted for a while, which strengthened the friendship between neighbors. Mr. Paco left with his son.
