The Extraordinary Earl

Pompeii Village 1.

The wooden walls stand tall, and there are two watchtowers at the entrance of the village. In the past, two militiamen were always stationed on the watchtowers, but now they were empty.

Inside the wall are a series of well-proportioned double-story wooden houses, and the sounds of chickens and dogs can be heard one after another.

At this time, there were few people in the village, only very old old people who could hardly walk, and children who were walking staggeringly.

Young adults, old people who are still strong, and half-grown children all went to the farmland to harvest crops.

This year's crops in Pompeii Village No. 1 were planned by the city hall. More than half of the people planted wheat, and the other half planted rapeseed. No matter what they planted, it would be a bumper harvest this year.

There was an old man sitting in front of a wooden house in the village. This old man couldn't be any older. It looked like he couldn't walk a few steps, but his eyes were still bright and energetic.

The old man's name is Mu Mu. Because his father is a lumberjack, he was given such a name.

As a civilian, it doesn't matter what you call me.

Like everyone in Pompeii Village No. 1, the old man is not from Pompeii. He originally lived in the territory of the Marquis of Parker.

A few years ago, the old man and his son lost their land, and their lives gradually deteriorated to the point where they almost couldn't survive. Fortunately, they learned about Pompeii's recruitment of farmers, so they came to this land.

At first, the old man and his son actually had some doubts. After all, the Pompeii Territory was rooted in the endless deep forest, and it was too dangerous here.

The Pompeii family seems to be just a family of knight lords. Such families are generally not strong enough to protect their territory.

But because they couldn't survive anymore, the old man and his son had no choice but to move here with their whole family.

But this year's harvest told the old man that this time the decision was right. The old man has been planting fields all his life and has never seen such a big harvest.

And Pompeii was not as weak as he thought. In order for the village to have some resistance, Pompeii recruited militiamen from the villagers.

It is said that there were no less than fifteen serving knights in Pompeii.

The lord is still a senior knight, and the knight Longston is an intermediate knight.

And he did something big not long ago.

As the publicity work in the city hall progressed, people in the territory knew that the Pompeii family had wiped out the Autumn Wind Bandits, and that Old Sol was a high-ranking knight.

This is really exciting news.

Let all the people who are afraid of the various monsters in the endless deep forest feel morale boosted and feel fearless.

Senior knights are the main combat force even in large territories.

In addition, the financial resources shown by the Pompeii family and the saber-toothed tiger mercenary group were combined to destroy the Qiufeng bandit group.

The reputation of the Pompeii family in the territory has risen by more than one level. Let’s not talk about the aboriginal people for now, because the aboriginal people already respect the Pompeii family very much.

The new farmers and serfs also had a sense of cohesion towards the Pompeii family.

"Pompei is really a great surname." The old man looked at the clouds in the sky and said with a smile.

"grandfather!"

At this moment, two little boys ran over. The little boy who spoke looked very ordinary, had blond hair, and was the grandson of the old man.

It's called gold coin.

The other one is a child of a serf family. He originally had no name, but is now named Amu.

gold!

It was the little boy that Luther met at the entrance of the village sitting in a daze by the stream when he inspected Village No. 1 for the first time.

At that time, Jin Coin was very sad, because after arriving in Pompeii, Jin Coin lost his friends and a dog named Philips on the road.

But looking at Jin Coin's smile now, you can tell that Jin Coin is very happy.

Yes, gold coins are happy.

As a child of a farmer, Jin Coin knows what a good harvest means. It means that he will not go hungry in the next year, and this year's good harvest means that he will not go hungry in the next year.

Gold coins can only be described in one sentence.

"A very, very big harvest."

Because Jin Coin’s father told Jin Coin that the grain harvested this year cannot even fit in the house. Once the wheat is harvested, it must be immediately sent to the wheat flour workshop to make city wheat. Most of it will be sold to the Pompeii family, and the remaining part will be eaten by himself.

Since it is tax-free for one year, there is no need to pay tax.

Dad also promised to buy a new piece of clothing for the gold coin.

I’m really happy to have food, new clothes, and gold coins. Little boys are always carefree.

Of course, what makes me even happier is that Jin Coin has made a new friend, Amu. The two people met by chance. The original farmers in Pompeii Village No. 1 were all freedmen who migrated from the Marquis Parker territory, but later several families of serfs were brought in.

Serf family, how should I put it?

Jin Coin felt that Amu's father and mother were both dull and looked very pitiful. Amu was also dull, but Amu looked smarter than his parents.

Because Jin Coin was often in a daze, he had no friends of the same age in the village, so he became good friends with Amu. Amu originally had no name, but he named him.

"Didn't you go to help with gold coins? Why are you back?" the old man asked strangely.

"After working on the farm all morning, my father asked me to take a rest, so I asked Amu to come back with me." Jin Coin replied.

"It's really hard work." The old man said with a smile.

"There are some biscuits on the table, go and eat them." The old man said immediately.

"OK."

Jin Coin nodded happily, took Amu into the house with him, climbed onto the chair skillfully, picked up the cookies on the dining table and started eating.

After eating biscuits and drinking some water, Jin Coin took Amu to the creek at the entrance of the village to play together.

Jin Coin likes this place because he once met Knight Luther here.

"Amu, do you know? It was here that I met Knight Luther. He was a great man. The people in the territory called him "The Merciful One". He recruited us to open up wasteland and exempted us. A year's tax. When I grow up, I must find a way to repay this favor."

Jin Coin and Amu sat in rows on the stone. Jin Coin shook his short legs and gestured with excitement on his face.

"I want to become a knight and serve the Pompeii family." Amu said stupidly.

This is what he looks like, stupid and stupid.

"Why?" Jin Coin was stunned.

"Because knights have meat to eat every day." Amu drooled. He sipped the saliva and then swallowed it, and said blankly.

"It makes sense, become a knight." Jin Coin said excitedly after discovering a new continent.

If they were two adults, they would definitely not think so. You fools, how could two sons of new peasants in Pompeii become a knight for no reason.

But children's ideas are unrestricted.

Just like the dream of the thief Kurd and his friends when they were young, it finally made Arnold, a civilian in Pompeii, become an intermediate knight, the thief Kurd.

In this village, farmers who had lost their land regained their land and lived better than before.

The serfs, who had no hope for generations, became free people.

Miracles are happening one by one, who knows what will happen in the future?

Maybe these two little boys really became knights and began to serve the Pompeii family?

Miracles never stop, dreams never die.
