The Extraordinary Earl

In addition to the Baron and this "Mrs. Morgan", there are five knights standing here. It is impossible to tell how powerful the knights are until they show their strength.

Therefore, Luther cannot judge the level of these knights, but as the baron's personal knights, they should be very strong.

Of course, these five knights saw Pompeii and his son, but Old Sol's old face still came into play, and the father and son came to the baron unimpeded.

"Hey, Sol." The baron also noticed Pompeii and his son, shook his shoulders exaggeratedly, and then gave old Sol a hug.

"Lord Baron." Old Sol also hugged the Baron familiarly.

The two of them seemed to be old friends rather than kings and ministers.

But this is normal. The Baron and Old Sol are about the same age. As the heirs of their respective families, the two have crossed paths since childhood.

After coming of age, Old Sol served as a general under the Baron and fought side by side with the Baron many times, and the relationship was already very close.

Therefore, the plan of Pompeii and his son was not to seize Baron Barton's territory and conspire to usurp power.

Besides, usurping power is not feasible in this world. Killing the king with his ministers and gaining control of the territory will encounter resistance from all the nobles.

There is even more resistance than the second son becoming the heir. There are precedents in history for the second son to become the heir, but there has never been a precedent where a successful conspiracy to usurp power can lead to a stable position.

Of course, the throne is different.

Because the king originally stood at the highest point of the country and was the end point of the rules. If the throne was usurped, no one could control the rebels who seized the throne.

All in all, the current plan of Pompeii and his son is to establish a small barony outside the Barton Territory, step by step.

Anyway, the forest is extremely vast and there is a lot of land.

After the Baron hugged Old Sol, he stood in front of Luther, gave a very kind smile, and said, "This must be Luther, an outstanding little guy."

Luther's only memory was that he had met the Baron when he was a child, but his impression was vague. This was the first time he had come into contact with the Baron, and he felt that he was a quite gentle person.

"Lord Baron." Luther bowed to the Baron in a decent manner, put his right hand on his chest and saluted.

"That's too polite. It's not good to be too old-fashioned at your age." The baron made a surprising move. He pinched Luther's cheek, and then said with a smile: "I hugged you when you were a child."

"I just peed all over you."

At this time, Old Sol interrupted with a smile.

"Hahahaha, that pee is really heavyweight." Lord Baron laughed.

Luther's face was a little red. Although it happened when he was a child, he felt a little ashamed when it was said in public.

Of course, he had no memory of it.

"Giggle." Mrs. Morgan next to her also laughed wildly and gently covered her little mouth with a random pink fan, which was very charming.

A pair of seductive eyes looked directly at Luther, as if he was very interested in Luther.

This is normal, Luther is a very handsome and great young man.

But Luther was a little overwhelmed. He glanced at the baron. The baron didn't seem to care much about his mistress's actions.

Maybe he doesn't mind his mistress dating other men.

Luther had to sigh once again, your circle is really in chaos.

Then the baron stopped teasing Luther, and instead talked for a while with Old Sol. Of course, he didn't talk while standing. The baron asked the servants to bring over the grill.

Let the servants grill the meat, prepare some snacks such as biscuits, and a bottle of red wine. Then sit down with Old Sol and have a relaxed and pleasant conversation like afternoon tea.

He talked about his romantic days as a teenager and his battlefield experiences as a young man. The Baron, lost in memories, squeezed Mrs. Morgan's butt and smiled happily.

Mrs. Morgan was not shy, but showed a wild smile, and her great smile trembled.

Old Sol chatted with him for a long time. When the atmosphere was about the same, Old Sol bowed and said to the Baron: "Lord Baron, I am actually here to ask you for something."

"Hey, our forthright and forthright Mr. Sol is actually being hypocritical." The Baron was a little surprised, because Old Sol has always been known for his forthrightness outside.

Then the baron showed a cheerful expression, "If you have anything to say, just tell me. I won't shirk it if I can help."

"I want to borrow some money from you." Old Sol's old face was a little red, but it was fleeting. If Luther didn't have good eyes, he might not be able to tell.

"Isn't your Pompeii wine very popular? Are you still short of money?" the baron asked strangely.

What's even more strange is that Old Sol never asked him to borrow money.

"Do you also know about Pompeii wine?" Old Sol asked.

"Ah, I have, but to be honest I don't like it. I still like to drink red wine." The Baron thought about the taste of Pompeii wine and felt a little disgusted.

This is normal. After all, the mainstream of this world is red wine. Too many nobles couldn't stand the taste of Pompeii wine. If Pompeii wine was so popular, then the Pompeii family's income would definitely not be only three hundred gold coins a month.

But at the same time, the nobles who liked Pompeii wine were also extremely loyal and praised it full of praise.

Severe polarization.

Here old Sol nodded to express his understanding, although he thought Pompeii wine was quite delicious. Then Old Sol sighed and said a little embarrassedly: "Although the income from Pompeii Wine is okay, I need a lot of money this time."

"It's a bit much. It's not 10,000 gold coins, right?" The baron became a little interested.

"Um, just a little more." Old Sol said a little nervously.

"Twenty thousand gold coins?" The baron frowned slightly. This is a lot of money.

"One hundred thousand gold coins." Old Sol finally said honestly.

"Pfft!" The baron was taking a sip of red wine and spit it out. Fortunately, he was a senior knight, so he turned around quickly and sprayed it elsewhere. Otherwise, Old Sol's face would have suffered.

Mrs. Morgan was also stunned and forgot to use a handkerchief to clean the stains of Lord Baron.

One hundred thousand gold coins, my God.

Mrs. Morgan is the baron's old love, and their relationship has lasted for many years. She knew how much money the Baron had in his wallet.

But it’s only two to three hundred thousand gold coins.

It looks like a lot at first glance, but it's actually very little. Because the Barton Territory has many guardian knights, knights' salaries, officials' salaries, and daily expenses.

These two to three hundred thousand gold coins are used as the most basic working capital and are not easy to move.

Not to mention that the Pompeii knight in front of him asked for 100,000 gold coins as soon as he opened his mouth, which really cost the baron his life.

The baron took a moment to calm down, then picked up the handkerchief from the table, wiped his mouth, and joked in a stiff tone.

"One hundred thousand gold coins, my God, are you planning to form a powerful army, and an army composed of female knights?"
