Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 138 Gold Coins and Friends (Fourth)
Village of Pompeii I.

The wooden wall stands tall, and there are two watchtowers at the entrance of the village. In the past, there were always two militiamen stationed on the watchtowers, but there was no one there at the moment.

Inside the wall are two-storey wooden houses in a patchwork pattern, and the sounds of chickens and dogs come and go one after another.

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

Young and middle-aged people, healthy old people, and half-grown children all went to the farmland to harvest crops.

The crops in Pompeii No. [-] Village this year were planned by the city hall. More than half of the people planted wheat, and the lesser half planted rapeseed. No matter what they planted, this year is a bumper harvest.

There is an old man sitting in front of a wooden house in the village. This old man is so old that he can hardly walk a few steps, but his eyes are still very energetic.

The old man's name is Wood, because the old man's father was a lumberjack, so he was given such a name.

As a commoner, it doesn't matter if you call it whatever you want.

Like everyone in Pompeii No. [-] Village, the old man is not from Pompeii, he originally lived in the territory of the Marquis of Park.

A few years ago, the old man and his son lost their land, and their life gradually became desolate, almost unable to survive.Fortunately, they learned that Pompeii was recruiting farmers, so they came to this land.

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

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

But it is really impossible to live on. The old man and his son have no choice but to migrate here with the whole family.

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

Moreover, Pompeii was not as weak as imagined. In order for the village to have a little resistance, Pompeii recruited militia among the villagers.

It is said that there were not less than fifteen knights in service in Pompeii.

The lord is still a high-level knight, and the knight captain, Knight, is an intermediate knight.

And not long ago, a big thing was done.

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

This is really exciting news.

Let all the people who are afraid of all kinds of monsters in the endless forest be refreshed and feel fearless.

High-level knights, even in large territories, belong to the main force.

Coupled with the financial strength shown by the Pompeii family and the Saber-toothed Tiger Mercenary Group to wipe out the Autumn Wind Bandit Group.

The prestige of the Pompeii family in the territory has risen by more than one level.Let's not talk about the aborigines, because the aborigines have always respected the Pompeii family very much.

And the new peasants, the serfs, also had cohesion to the Pompeii family.

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

"grandfather!"

Just then, two little boys trotted over.The little boy who spoke was very ordinary in appearance, with blond hair, and was the grandson of the old man.

It's called gold coins.

The other is a child of a serf's family. He didn't have a name at first, but now he is named Amu.

gold!

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

At that time, Gold Coin was very sad, because after arriving in Pompeii, Gold Coin lost his friend and lost a dog named Philip on the way.

But looking at Jin Coin's smile now, I know that Jin Coin is very happy.

That's right, gold coins are happy.

As a child of a farmer's family, Jin Coin knows what a bumper harvest means, which means that the next year will not be hungry, but this year's bumper harvest.

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 would not even fit in the house. When the wheat was harvested, it would have to be sent to the wheat flour workshop to make city wheat.

Because of the tax exemption for one year, there is no need to pay taxes.

Dad also promised a new dress for the gold coin.

It is really nice to have food, new clothes, and gold coins.Little boy, always carefree.

Of course, what is even more gratifying is that Jin Coin met a new friend, Amu.The acquaintance between the two was still accidental. The original peasants in Pompeii Village No. [-] were all freedmen who migrated from the Marquis of Parker's territory, but later a few serf households were stuffed in.

Serfs, what should I say?

Jin Coin felt that Amu's father and mother looked pitiful, and Amu was also in a daze, but Amu looked smarter than his parents.

Because Jin Coin is often in a daze, he has no friends of the same age in the village, so he and Amu became good friends. Amu had no name at first, and he chose the name.

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

"After doing farm work all morning, Dad asked me to take a rest, so I asked Amu to come back together." Jin Coin replied.

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

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

"Ok."

Jin Coin nodded happily, took Amu into the room together, climbed up the chair skillfully, picked up the biscuits on the dining table and started eating.

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

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

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

Jin Coin and Amu Pai sat on the stone in a row. Jin Coin gesticulated while dangling his short legs, with an excited expression on his face.

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

That's what he looks like, dumbfounded.

"Why?" The gold coin froze.

"Because knights have meat to eat every day." Amu's saliva flowed out, he sucked his saliva and swallowed it, and said blankly.

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

If it were two adults, they would definitely not think so, idiot, how could the son of two new Pompeian farmers become a knight for no reason.

But children's ideas are not limited.

Just like the dream of the thief Kurd and his friends when they were young, Ano, a commoner in Pompeii, finally became a middle-level knight, the thief Kurd.

In this village, the peasants who lost their land regained their land and lived better than before.

The serfs who had seen 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.
