Chapter 117 Dad, Let’s Go Borrow Money

One word: miserable.

Luther, Pompeii may be the poorest time traveler.

But Luther does not feel embarrassed, because the more he spends, the more he will earn.

A good lord who does not know how to spend money is definitely not a good lord.

This time Luther is going to play a big game, brush the Autumn Wind Thieves Group, and open the treasure chest. Either he will lose a lot of money, or he will make a fortune.

But no matter whether he makes a profit or a loss.

The Pompeii family can gain reputation.

After learning about the Pompeii family's business in detail and knowing that it is all small money, Luther has no interest in it. He will do what he wants.

Of course, he can't say that. Luther still thanked his mother and the old housekeeper for running the Pompeii family's business.

There is no need for the family to be too polite, just be just right.

Anyway, Mrs. Sophie and the old housekeeper left happily.

"By the way, Luther, do you really not want to eat monster meat? Your father is very idle recently, so he will go and hunt some for you." Before leaving, Mrs. Sophie still remembered that Luther had not eaten enough recently, and she kept thinking about it.

"Dad is very idle recently?" Luther's eyes lit up.

"Very idle, every day he is either doing knight training or sleeping and eating." Mrs. Sophie nodded affirmatively, in fact, she was watching him closely.

Ever since she knew about the affair between Old Sol and the maid, she has been keeping an eye on Old Sol and not giving him any chance.

Poor Old Sol.

Luther didn't know this, he was happy to know that his father was very idle. Because Luther's backup plan was related to his father.

So after saying goodbye to Mrs. Sophie and Butler Ferran, Luther went to ask the maids again and found Old Sol in the study.

Dad really looked idle, carrying a kettle and watering a pot of flowers and plants placed by the window.

"Dad, please give up your face and lend money to the Pompeii family again." After Luther entered the study, he bent down and begged with a snap.

"What?" Old Sol's hand trembled, and the watering can fell. Borrowing money is a memory that is hard to look back on.

Although the six major families have a harmonious relationship with each other, the last time Old Sol went to borrow money, he also borrowed gold coins very readily and helped the Pompeii family overcome difficulties.

But Old Sol definitely doesn't want to go again, it's too shameful.

However, when Old Sol thought that the Pompeii family is currently developing rapidly, under the management of this excellent son in front of him, the Pompeii family may become a baron.

He immediately threw away his shame, gritted his teeth and put the kettle on the floor, then sat down with a big horse and a golden knife, and asked: "Tell me how much money this time?"

"One hundred thousand gold coins." Luther said honestly, really honest.

".......!" Old Sol had nothing to say, because this number exceeded his ability to bear. How much tax did the Pompeii family collect every year before? About nine hundred to less than a thousand.

That is to say, the Pompeii family might not have 10,000 gold coins in the past ten years, but now Luther asked for 100,000. If it was in the past, the Pompeii family would need a hundred years to get it together.

And he didn't eat or drink.

Old Sol thought that his nerves had become very rough under the training of this outstanding son in front of him.

God knows, he used to be a romantic and enjoyable nobleman. Although the family income was not very good, he still played freely with limited funds and had many mistresses.

But now he asked for 100,000.

Old Sol wanted to swear.

Old Sol took a deep breath, and then another one. After a total of three times, Old Sol asked expressionlessly: "One hundred thousand gold coins? Luther, what do you want to do?"

At this time, Old Sol seemed to have returned to the style when Luther just came here, old-fashioned and majestic.

A typical image of a strict father.

But Luther was not a fool at this time. He said with a stiff neck: "I will take out 100,000 gold coins to hire mercenaries to wipe out the Qiufeng Bandits."

Old Sol was stunned, then touched his chin, and there were a lot of stubble. After touching it for a while, Old Sol asked: "Do you want to increase the reputation of the family?"

"The family needs to take Omima's head to increase its prestige." Luther nodded.

This time, Old Sol didn't ask anything. He was a qualified politician. He was more familiar with the situation in Orange and Barton than Luther.

Naturally, he knew the current predicament of the Pompeii family and how to get rid of it.

"Luther, get ready. We will set out to meet our lord, Baron Barton in three days." Old Sol said solemnly.

Because in the entire Barton territory, only Baron Barton could take out 100,000 gold coins.

And even if Baron Baron could take it out, 100,000 gold coins would empty the Baron's wallet. Whether he could lend it out depended on how much face he had.

Old Sol was a man with such a face.

This father was very reliable.

"Okay." Luther exhaled and smiled brightly.

After getting his father's promise, Luther left in a very happy mood.

It's good to have a reliable father.

By the way, since I'm going to meet Baron Baron in three days, if I get 100,000 gold coins, I should go to Golden City and hire a reliable mercenary group.

This trip may take several months. Think about what else is going on in the territory and settle it down.

But after Luther thought about it, he thought of someone. Because the territory cannot recruit residents at present, the development has encountered a bottleneck.

It's nothing big.

City Hall.

Great Knight.

Madam Sophie.

They manage the territory, troops, and business respectively, so there is nothing to worry about. The only thing Luther needs to worry about is the people around him.

For example, the big and small loli, little Maya and Lily.

Another example is Xiu Xiuya.

Luther decided to go and see Xiu Xiuya's recent situation, because after Luther came back from the forest, he was eager to go to Kaiyue City to see Miss Ruth, and he was depressed for several days after coming back.

I haven't seen Xiu Xiuya for a long time.

As Luther's personal knight, the next generation of the Iron Horse family knight, and possessing an extremely excellent talent for thunder fighting, Xiu Xiuya's importance is self-evident.

If Luther becomes the Earl of Luther in the future and owns a large territory, then Xiu Xiuya is Luther's rib, wrapped around the heart, an important bone.

So whether from a personal perspective or from the future, Luther is sincerely concerned about Xiu Xiuya.

So Luther came to a training ground outside the castle, found Knight Magellan, and asked about Xiu Xiuya's current situation.

Perhaps it was because of the last agreement with Luther that the secret of practicing thunder fighting was kept secret for the time being.

Xiu Xiuya built a villa in a remote place among the twenty strongholds of Pompeii, and Xiu Xiuya is currently staying there.
