The Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 5 Junior Knight

It was the dead of winter, and heavy snow was falling. The vast land was covered with a thick white blanket.

The biting cold wind whistled like a knife, blowing the snowflakes on the ground.

Pompeii Territory is located in the south of the Kingdom of Prussia. It is not like spring all year round, but it is rare to see snow even in winter, so this heavy snow is very rare.

In the territory, whether it is serfs or civilians, they are hiding in their homes, closing doors and windows, lighting fireplaces, and doing everything they can to keep warm in order to survive the cold weather.

In Pompeii Castle.

The heavy snow dyed the entire castle white. Many servants and guards in the city braved the heavy snow to clean up. If such a heavy snow is not cleaned up, it will be a mess after the snow.

In the castle, most of the rooms are cold. But the hall is warm as spring. The fireplace is full of dry firewood, and the flames are burning, dispelling the cold.

The old butler Ferran was guarding the fireplace, adding some firewood to the fireplace from time to time.

Lord Old Sol sat on the only chair in the hall with a solemn face. Mrs. Sophie, William, and Mary were also there.

In addition to the Pompeii family, there were also staff member Joshua, knight Magellan, and Magellan's eldest son Xiu Xiuya, and Luther's little maid Maya.

Only Luther was not there.

What was Luther doing?

He was in his room, impacting the realm of knights.

That's right, Luther had traveled to the Kingdom of Prussia for almost a year. Luther's reaching the realm of knights was almost the same as Old Sol's judgment.

After a year of hard training, Luther finally reached this day.

A knight is of course a vital combat force for the Pompeii Territory. But Luther is different, because he represents the next generation of the Pompeii family.

Representing the Pompeii family's fire, it will continue to burn.

And impacting the realm of knights has a certain probability of failure. Although the probability of failure is a bit small, the Pompeii family is still worried.

Time passed by minute by minute. The faces of the people present became more and more solemn. Until a sound of footsteps sounded, everyone's heart suddenly tightened.

I couldn't help but look up to the second floor. With a crisp sound of footsteps, Luther came down from upstairs.

His face was ruddy and very healthy. His face was full of joy. Compared with a year ago, his physique was much stronger. Although he was not as strong as Old Sol, he also gave people a sense of reliability.

With a head of golden hair, if Old Sol was a lion in his prime, then Luther was a young lion.

"How is it?" When Old Sol saw Luther, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, because Old Sol could see that Luther should have successfully advanced.

But this matter was too big, so Old Sol couldn't help asking.

Others also looked concerned.

"Dad, I succeeded." Luther smiled slightly, and a light immediately appeared all over his body. This light was slightly yellow, looming, like a candle in the wind, and it seemed that it would go out at any time.

As a newly promoted knight, Luther's fighting spirit was pitifully small in both quality and quantity.

But fighting spirit is real.

Yellow fighting spirit represents the breath of the earth. A heavy breath came to my face.

"Hahahaha! Good, good, my Pompeii family has a successor." Old Sol laughed loudly, as happy as a child.

Everyone present also showed a joyful look, it was really great.

"Hey, Qiao Xiu. When this heavy snow is over, gather all the people in the territory and have a carnival. I want to tell all the people in Pompeii that my successor, Luther, the heir of Old Sol, Pompeii has been promoted to a knight. By the way, I have to pardon the criminals and tell those criminals that they are free thanks to their Master Luther."

Old Sol announced generously with unprecedented excitement.

It is hard to imagine that the rigid, rigorous, calm, rock-like lion is like a child at this moment.

Heir.

For the nobles, nothing is more important than this.

"Yes." Qiao Xiu also smiled and agreed.

If it weren't for this heavy snow, Old Sol would have been impatient to have a carnival.

And this heavy snow did not last long, and the sky was clear the next day. After Old Sol's announcement, under the auspices of Qiao Xiu, the entire Pompeii territory fell into a carnival.

Look.

The Pompeii family, which has inherited the blood of the ancient earl and has been passed down for many generations, is about to welcome the next generation.

Luther, Master Pompeii.

The whole carnival lasted for three days, and it was lively.

Three days later.

The sky was clear and the sun was emitting heat continuously, dispelling the coldness of the earth. The traces of the heavy snow three days ago have completely disappeared.

After winter, it is spring.

Tender buds began to grow on the branches.

On this day, the new knight. Master Luther Pompeii, with his personal attendant Xiu Xiuya and a team of ten elite guards, began to patrol his territory.

Luther rode a horse, wearing fitted clothes, black riding boots, and carrying a cross sword. He exuded a capable aura.

Xiu Xiuya was dressed similarly to Luther, but a little behind Luther, revealing his status as an attendant.

The rest of the guards were wearing white armor, holding spears, and surrounded the two.

This time, Luther had a clear purpose when he went out.

During this year, Luther relied on hard training to become a junior knight. Simply put, as a time traveler.

Luther actually didn't find his golden finger, and he was no different from ordinary natives.

It really loses the face of the time traveler.

Since he didn't find his golden finger, Luther decided to start from the side to increase his strength.

If Luther was just a civilian knight, then climbing up would be as difficult as climbing to the sky. But fortunately, Luther was the eldest son of the Pompeii family and the future heir to the Pompeii territory.

In the entire Pompeii territory, there were nearly 2,000 people, as well as a hundred guards, as well as two knights, Old Sol and Magellan, and Xiu Xiuya, who was about to become a knight's personal attendant.

Luther decided to start from here.

To put it simply, it means farming, developing territory, and growing slowly.

If you can, try to be as sleazy as possible.

hey-hey.

It was a year later before Luther took action. That's because of the tradition of the Pompeii family, only the eldest son who becomes a knight has the qualifications to manage the territory.

Of course, this qualification still needs to be granted by Old Saul. Obviously, as the eldest son of the Pompeii family, Old Saul was very happy for Luther to join the Pompeii family and readily agreed.

When Luther proposed to inspect the territory, ten guards were sent to protect Luther.

Although these ten elite warriors combined are not as powerful as Luther in combat.

hey-hey.
