No matter how much Luther hoped to find the great thief Kurd and take the novice gift pack from Kurd, Kurd seemed to have disappeared.

Such a big thief disappeared without a trace, and even Baron Patton was helpless, let alone the heir to a lord's family like Luther.

So we should spend the day as usual.

After a period of martial law, Pompey's defenses were relaxed.

Lelouch is still doing the work in the territory. The main work in the territory is of course agriculture. Although spring ploughing is important, there is still a series of work after spring ploughing.

For example, weeding.

Lelouch is watching over all these things.

Luther only did a few things on his own. The first of course was to undergo knight training, the practice of fighting spirit, riding, swordsmanship, and fighting.

A powerful knight definitely pays attention not only to his realm, but also his own combat ability.

I heard that there are some powerful knights who follow the ancient code of chivalry, do not covet wealth, power, or pleasure, and undergo ascetic knight training every day.

They not only have powerful fighting skills, but also fighting abilities that surpass ordinary people.

As the heir to the lord's family, Luther does not need to be too hard on himself, but he still has certain standards for himself.

In addition to knight training, Luther also often reads books, mostly miscellaneous books, to continue to understand the world.

Because the collection of books in the castle was limited, Luther had to send a caravan to the city to purchase books.

There is a saying in China that goes, "literary and martial arts". Luther is doing just that now, acquiring knowledge and increasing his military strength.

Apart from this, Luther kept in touch with Miss Ruth.

When he was strict with himself, correspondence with Miss Ruth became his only leisure activity, and Luther enjoyed it very much.

Even if I cannot develop an unspeakable relationship with Miss Ruth that goes beyond friendship between a man and a woman, it seems that it would be nice to be just a pure believer.

In such orderly days, time passed quickly and summer soon arrived.

The entire Kingdom of Prussia is located in the south of the continent, and Pompeii Territory is one of the southernmost territories of Prussia. Therefore, the summer is particularly hot.

Of course, the grass will also thrive.

Throughout the territory, on the farmland, there were busy figures of farmers everywhere, wearing straw hats, bending over and cutting grass with sickles.

The scorching sun made them sweat profusely and their skin became as dark as charcoal.

But they were still very happy with their work because the farmers found that the wheat grew better this year than in previous years, and even the grass grew better.

I think of what Luther said, "Using manure to fertilize the field can increase the yield of wheat."

The signs have already appeared, and the farmers are working harder when they think of the big harvest in the fall. As long as there is a harvest, everything is fine.

Isn't it just cutting some grass? If you don't work hard, how can you get food?

In this peaceful and calm atmosphere, Luther's Pompeii wine began to quietly show its power.

The days of the Pompeii family will get better and better.

Kaiyue City! This is the main city of Patton Territory.

The Patton Territory included Kaiyue City, several surrounding towns, and dozens of villages. Twenty to thirty of these villages were given to its vassals, knight nobles like the Pompeii family.

The population of the entire Patton Territory is around 100,000.

An independent small kingdom.

Kaiyue City is the capital of this small kingdom. Kaiyue City is located on flat land, surrounded by vast plains and a vast forest to the south.

The endless forests in the south were gradually developed, gradually approaching the sea. And this Kaiyue City was built as a military fortress because of the development.

The Patton family was a pioneering noble family that rose to prominence during that time.

Therefore, Kaiyue City is full of military style, with high city walls, arrow towers everywhere on the walls, and particularly thick city walls and gates.

Very helpful for defense.

The population of the city is about 40,000 to 50,000, and the commercial atmosphere is quite strong. Because Barton Territory also produces some minerals, such as gemstone mines, and there are also some magic beasts entrenched in the endless forest to the south.

Warcraft is full of treasures, and wizards need it for experiments or research.

In addition, the land in Barton Territory is very fertile, producing wheat and good agriculture. There is also a Barton Winery in Barton Territory.

It is a famous wine estate in the entire province, and the wine produced here is sold throughout the province.

All in all, the Barton family is very strong, and there is a strong business atmosphere in the territory.

Among the real nobles, Patton's territory is not the largest, and its strength is not the strongest, but its income is definitely among the best.

This is of course also the main reason why Lucy Patton covets the title of Baron Patton. The benefits are huge.

The Pompey family had two shops in the city of Kaiyue, two connected shops that only sold one product: beer.

Don't underestimate these two shops, and don't underestimate the low price of beer. There is no profit, but small profits and quick turnover. Pompeii's beer is of good quality and the price is fair.

A considerable amount of gold coins could be earned every year to subsidize the daily expenses of the Pompeii family, which was one of the important sources of income for the Pompeii family.

The person who managed these two shops was a servant brought by Mrs. Sophie's parents. The servant was called Shield, a very simple name.

But this Shield has quite a business acumen. Under his management, these two stores have achieved such great results.

And the shield has been a bit troublesome lately.

Because a few months ago, the master sent a new wine called Pompeii wine. Of course, the wine is good, and Shield admits it.

He has been dealing with alcohol all his life, and has even drunk wine, not to mention beer. This is also beer, but the taste of this Pompeii wine is completely different from any other beer on this continent.

Unique taste.

This means business opportunities, but also means that there is no audience. Even if it is a pioneering knight, he has to go to a forest, where there are many monsters and even dragons.

Kill monsters bit by bit, cut down forests, and open up a territory.

That's pretty much what it's like to open up the market for Pompeii wine.

Shield's ability was OK, but it was just OK. Asking him to develop a new wine, a new brand, was a bit difficult for him.

So the Pompeii wine brought from the owner was kept in the store, and for several months, not even a barrel was sold.

This is a shield of worry.

There were two shops, one for beer and the other for Pompeii wine. People were coming and going in the beer shop.

In the shop where Pompeii wine was sold, no one was interested.

Shield sat in the store manager's seat, watching the two assistants busying around, and sighed.

"Why."
