Chapter 87 Let’s Go! Earth Knight

The old butler was a little hard of hearing. When Luther came, he was still counting the goods and didn't hear the footsteps.

"Butler Ferran."

Until Luther called out.

"Master Luther." The old butler finally reacted and turned around and bowed to Luther.

"I have something to do. Can you come to the living room?" Luther asked. The whole Pompeii family treated the old butler very well. They called him a butler, but in fact, they were as kind as family members.

"Okay, go to the living room first, I'll come later." The old butler said.

So Luther went to the living room upstairs first, and soon after, the old butler also came. After the old butler sat down, Luther said very bluntly: "Butler Ferran, I discussed with Lelouch before and decided to let farmers grow more rapeseed in the spring to be self-sufficient. So I hope our family can build an oil press workshop. In addition, as the number of knights increases, the demand for meat also increases, and our ranch should also be expanded. In addition, although there are not many people in our city now, some businesses should also be started. For example, clothing stores and jewelry stores. Only when these city stores increase can we attract more residents to live in Pompeii. Please discuss these with your mother."

These are actually family businesses, and they are not in the same line with the development of the family territory.

The tax revenue of the family territory is official income, while opening shops and building factories are family businesses. This cannot be mixed together.

In the past, the family business was managed by Mrs. Sophie, but the old butler, as the mainstay of the family, intervened more in the business. Anyway, Mrs. Sophie often asked the old butler for his opinions.

So Luther found the old butler and explained these things.

Luther did not ask about the details, but just gave an outline and asked the old housekeeper to discuss with Mrs. Sophie to build these basic shops.

On the one hand, these are part of the foundation. A town cannot have no clothing stores or jewelry stores.

On the other hand, these businesses are exclusively operated by the Pompeii family. With the improvement of the town and the move-in of 5,000 residents, the Pompeii family will have a considerable income.

Since they are all done by others, why not do it yourself?

Of course, with the expansion of the city, these businesses cannot be done by the Pompeii family alone. There will definitely be other merchants entering Pompeii at that time.

This is a good thing.

In short, this is the last thing Luther has to arrange. After arranging this matter, Luther can start the road of training as an earth knight.

The old housekeeper wrote them down one by one, and finally said with a smile: "Okay, I will discuss with my wife and get these things done. Don't worry, young master."

"Thank you, housekeeper Ferran." Luther said politely.

After doing this last thing, Luther felt relieved. Luther didn't want to go out today. He had a good meal at dinner and prepared all kinds of things for the trip.

Luther told his family again, but of course he didn't dare to tell them his destination.

Because according to Sun Face, Luther's training journey this time was to go deep into the forest. Dad didn't know, but Mom would definitely object.

So Luther found an excuse and said he was going to visit Miss Ruth in Kaiyue City.

In this way, he easily gained the trust of Mrs. Sophie, and Mrs. Sophie was very considerate to arrange for Luther.

"Bring more gold coins. As a man, you can't be too stingy when you go out. By the way, you have to bring some gifts. There are a few bottles of precious wine at home. You take them."

Mrs. Sophie prepared for Luther very attentively.

Luther didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He persuaded Mrs. Sophie to give up the arrangement and only brought gold coins. He also brought some antidotes, gold wound medicine, and other necessities for entering the forest in private.

Early the next morning, Luther set out. He said goodbye to his family and headed north to Kaiyue City. When the distance was far, Luther turned around and headed for the forest in the south.

Alone, he entered the forest.

………….

It was spring now, when everything was revived.

But the cold of the severe winter had not completely gone away, so the air was still bitingly cold. Because it had not warmed up, some big trees were still bare and had not grown tender leaves.

After enduring a long winter, the hungry beasts were moving around looking for food.

After Luther entered the forest to the south, he walked a long, long way. Now it was far away from Pompeii. Fortunately, Luther had learned how to identify the direction before, otherwise he would have been lost in the forest long ago.

During this period, Luther would hunt wild animals to eat when he was hungry, stop to rest when he was tired, and run away immediately after encountering a monster.

Because this time Luther came to the forest to practice, not to get along with the monster. Of course, Luther could not defeat the monster alone at the moment.

Luther had not forgotten the last time when three people gathered together to barely kill the poisonous acid lizard.

It was definitely not a wonderful memory.

The training was simple, it was also very simple, strengthening the strength of the body, strengthening the strength of the fighting spirit, and being immune to various injuries, bringing out the advantages of the Earth Knight to the fullest.

The answer given by Sun Face is to try to rely on the power of nature.

And at this time of year, the best natural force to find is naturally cold. Luther's goal is to find a big mountain and enjoy the pleasure brought by the severe cold on the top of the mountain.

Fortunately, before this, Luther had also learned some methods to identify terrain, so it was not a purposeless search. Luther searched and searched.

Finally found a high mountain today.

This is a very high mountain. More than half of the mountain is covered with thick white snow, and the upper part is covered by a thick layer of clouds. It seems that it is still snowing on the mountain.

"It's so high, maybe more than a thousand meters." Luther guessed in his heart after visually measuring it.

"Take off your clothes, don't use your fighting spirit to resist, use your body to directly feel the gift brought by this severe cold. Only by adapting to this severe cold can you gain the ability to be immune to the severe cold. When you face the Frost Knight in the future, the damage caused by their fighting spirit to you will be minimal."

Sun Face said.

But Luther did not take off his clothes immediately. He walked up the mountain first. When he walked about 500 meters, it was already white.

Luther chose a place, took off all his clothes, and buried his clothes in the snow, making a mark so that he would not find them when he came back.

Then Luther picked up his bag and planned to continue to go up.

"Take off your underwear too."

Sun Face suddenly said.

"Ah!!!"

Luther looked down at his body. Only his underwear was left. The red waistband, for some reason, this color of underwear was very popular among the nobles of the Kingdom of Prussia.

"The last layer, it's so embarrassing to take it off." Luther said shyly.

"Take it off." Sun Face said coldly.

"Okay." Luther took it off after all. Not long after, Luther, who let himself go and embraced nature, quickly went to the top of the mountain.
