Chapter 2 Looking to the Future

"Okay, Mr. Knight. Since he was eight years old, little Luther has been strictly educated as a knight. He eats, trains, and attends cultural classes on time every day. It's okay if he occasionally fails."

Mrs. Sophie quickly smoothed things over.

This lady is very young, only 28 years old this year. She has a beautiful face, a good figure, and a gentle personality.

She treats Luther as her own son, and Thor is satisfied with every aspect. The only thing that makes the male owner complain is that his wife is a merchant, not a noble.

This makes the male owner a little bit upset.

"You only know how to pamper him." Thor expressed his dissatisfaction, but his face was much more relaxed. In fact, Thor also remembered that when he was young, under the training of his father, he lived a harder life than Luther, but in the end he successfully stimulated the power of the knight and inherited the Pompeii Territory.

He also has high hopes for Luther, hoping that Luther will become a knight like him in the future, or even surpass him.

But just like his wife said, Luther has been training as a knight since he was eight years old. Apart from some necessary social activities, he has never relaxed for a moment, just like a machine.

So Thor's heart softened. After thinking about it, Thor said to Luther: "Take a day off today and have fun."

"Thank you, Dad." Luther lowered his head and planned to pretend to be dead to listen to Thor's scolding. Unexpectedly, he actually had a day off. He raised his head in surprise and hurriedly expressed his thanks.

Resting for a day is nothing. He was mediocre in his previous life. He came to this world in this life just to show his skills. He was not opposed to knight training and was even eager to try.

But after all, he had just crossed over. Although he received the memory, some places still needed to be adjusted. It was good to walk around for a day.

"Okay, let's eat." Thor, Pompey nodded, and then said seriously.

With the order of the male host, the family immediately started to eat. The main course was of course meat, and some vegetable soup. Whether it was Luther, or the younger Will, Mary cut the beef very quickly and fiercely, eating it in big mouthfuls.

This is the Pompeii family, even eating is like being in a military camp.

After breakfast, Sol went out with his guards, because he had something to do today. Sophie stayed in the castle to deal with some trivial matters, she was a capable noble lady.

Will and Mary took cultural classes together, and in the afternoon, the nine-year-old Will had to undergo knight training.

Luther was ordered to rest and play, so of course he went out to play.

The castle of the Pompeii family is a small castle, roughly round and all black. The main building is at the back, and there are two rows of barracks on the left and right sides in front of the main building.

There are also stables, parade grounds and other facilities.

The outer body is a wall.

There are one hundred soldiers in the castle, which is the military force of the Pompeii family.

"Master Luther." Luther left the main building. There were two guards in front of the gate. Since there was no major event in the territory, the atmosphere was relatively relaxed. The two guards chatted from time to time. Seeing Luther coming out, the two saluted quickly.

"Thank you for your hard work." Luther said to the two guards based on his memory of his performance.

The two guards were a little embarrassed. They were just chatting, which was not considered to be loyal to their duties.

Luther quickly passed the two guards and wandered around the castle. Along the way, the soldiers and servants in the castle saluted Luther, allowing Luther to enjoy the same treatment as the landlord.

Finally, Luther came to the wall above the city gate, overlooking the entire Pompeii territory.

Gradually overlapped with the memory in his mind.

Luther was leaning against the parapet, his hands folded in front of his chest, his eyes gradually absent-minded. He began to think about his future.

This world is undoubtedly very exciting, and his background is not bad, at least he has stepped into the threshold of the nobility. There are no conflicts in the family, with a strong father and a gentle stepmother.

Even if he doesn't do well in the future, he can still inherit this territory and become a landlord. However, since he is a traitor, he is unwilling to live a life of idleness and wait for death.

If the entire Kingdom of Prussia is used as a goal, even if he can't become a hereditary duke or marquis, he must at least be a real earl.

You must have some hope in life.

According to Luther, it is very difficult to rise to the title of nobility in the Kingdom of Prussia. First of all, you need to have bloodline. In the entire Kingdom of Prussia, although it is not easy for a commoner's child to become a knight, there are also examples of inspiring the power of knights to become knights. There are not only individual cases, but many.

However, if these commoner's children want to become a knight lord with a fiefdom, it is basically like ascending to heaven, which is very difficult.

The nobles exclude commoners.

Because the Kingdom of Prussia is supreme in bloodline, the more noble the bloodline, the more dazzling it is.

In this regard, although the Pompeii family has a low starting point, they still have a little noble bloodline. The Pompeii family is a branch of an ancient earl family.

Although the starting point is low, there is always hope for improvement.

Whether you can climb up and become a nobleman who is at least a count. There are only two ways, one is military force, and the other is financial force.

With outstanding military force, you will have matching military exploits.

With huge financial resources, you will have connections.

These two things are the hard currency of the Kingdom of Prussia, and you can eventually rely on operations to climb up step by step.

But unfortunately, the Pompeii family, or more precisely, Luther himself, has neither of these two ways.

Needless to say about financial resources, the Pompeii family only has one knight leader and no other income. As for outstanding military force, Luther knows that he is not mediocre, but not outstanding either.

The so-called knight's power is to stimulate the potential of the human body and eventually form fighting spirit.

Luther started knight training at the age of eight and has a physique far superior to that of ordinary people. At the age of fifteen this year, he has not yet stimulated the power of knights.

According to his father Sol's evaluation, he should be able to stimulate fighting spirit at the age of sixteen.

The average age for stimulating the power of a knight in this world is seventeen. Luther heard that some geniuses can stimulate fighting spirit at the age of thirteen or fourteen. In other words, his qualifications are above average, but definitely not outstanding.

"If you want to climb up, if you want to live better in this world, outstanding martial arts are a must, and you have to think of some way."

Luther thought secretly.

However, after thinking about it, Luther had no clue at all.

It should be that his vision is too narrow. After all, he is only a fifteen-year-old boy in this life, and he has basically spent his life in training.

It seems that this matter still needs to be considered in the long run.
