Bloodline Lord of War - Chapter 129

  Chapter 129 Snow Eagle’s Invitation Letter

   When Robin woke up, it was already high in the sun.

  He jumped out of the bed with his upper body naked, opened his arms, hummed, and stretched a big waist, which was extremely comfortable.

“one two three four!”

  Suddenly there was a familiar voice of password outside the window, the voice was not loud, it seemed to come from far away.

  Robin walked to the window and stood in his bedroom, with a panoramic view of Raging City and its surroundings.

  On the banks of the Raging River, Simon was running along the river bank with iron guards and half-elves fully armed and loaded. They were wearing a full set of armor and carrying all weapons, and they had already run several times along the river bank. The footsteps of the men and the voice of the password perfectly overlapped together, and they were sweating heartily under the scorching sun.

Looking back, you can see that all the original wooden walls outside the city have been demolished, and there are many large stones placed in an open space. The small Smaug is waving a whip in his hand, driving the gnolls and hobgoblins to These stones are moved to the designated place.

  These stones were transported from Wind Castle, and they were prepared to be used to build the city wall. Just as Smaug was whipping his whip, a large convoy of fifty carriages lined up on the dirt road in the distance. A new shipment of stone has arrived from Windcastle.

   “Sister Aisha, we really need this batch of wood. In order to maintain sufficient combat effectiveness, the elf deer needs a better deer shed.”

   “Master Aisha, we need a lot of land to build a new warehouse. In addition, we are running out of oil for maintaining weapons.”

  Robin suddenly heard two familiar voices from below. He looked down and saw Aisha, Tess and Luke, three half-elves, walking quickly through the open space under the Lord’s Mansion.

  Tess and Luke are pestering Aisha for this and that, while Aisha is walking in a hurry, followed by two female half-elf assistants, each holding a large stack of documents in their hands.

   “I see, I will give you an approval as soon as possible.” Aisha was very busy, one head and two older. After dealing with Tess and Luke, tell the two assistants. “Send these to my office, and I’ll look at them later.”

   The group didn’t notice Robin peeping upstairs, and left quickly and noisyly.

  Now, everything in the territory is officially on the right track, and everyone seems to have endless things to do. Robin, the lord, has become the most idle person, and he can sleep until the sun shines on his buttocks.

   Robin is very satisfied with the current state. Being a lord is meaningless if it is not for enjoyment. Hand over everything to the right subordinates, and he is only responsible for eating, drinking and having fun. This is a qualified lord.

   “Dangdangdang…”

  Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the room, as if afraid of disturbing Robin in the room, the person knocked very lightly. Then, the old butler Homan’s voice sounded from outside the door.

   “Master, are you awake?” The old housekeeper asked softly and tentatively.

   Robin said “Come in”, then walked to the table and poured himself a glass of water from the teapot on the table.

  The old butler Homan pushed the door and walked in, with a kind smile on his face: “I’m sorry to bother you, master.”

  The current old housekeeper and Robin were completely different people when they first met him. Their mental state was extremely good, their faces were flushed, and they seemed to be ten years younger all of a sudden.

  With the expansion of Raging Waves City step by step, the scale of the Lord’s Mansion has also increased, and he, the butler, has more and more things on hand. However, this not only did not make him feel tired, but he worked harder and harder, claiming to “find the feeling of youth”.

  Seeing that the territory is getting better and better under Robin’s governance, he, an old man, is also delighted from the bottom of his heart.

   “It’s okay, I just woke up too.” Robin picked up the cup and drank it down. “Is there a problem?”

   “It’s like this. This morning, a baron named Manu came outside. He claimed to be a pioneering lord of the western wilderness. He brought many gifts and came to visit you, sir.” The old butler said in detail.

  Robin frowned, slightly surprised: “Are there any guests?”

  Since Robin defeated Baron, he seems to have become a well-known figure in the western wilderness. In just half a month, more than a dozen groups of guests have come.

Among these guests, some are like this Manu, who are also pioneering lords on the wasteland, and some are businessmen doing business in the wasteland; they are looking for Robin for two purposes, one is to visit the pier, and the other is to visit Robin. The species is for business.

Although Robin himself didn’t say anything to the outside world, in the eyes of these small lords and small businessmen, he has now become the overlord of the western wilderness. A report will do.

   “How long have you been here?” Robin asked.

   “I have been waiting for you in the lobby below all morning. I told him that you are still resting, sir, and asked him to come back at noon, but he refused to listen and insisted on waiting below.” The old housekeeper said helplessly. “He may be worried that you don’t want to see him, master.”

  Robin put down the water glass: “Okay, since the other party came with a gift, let’s meet.”

   “Okay.” The old housekeeper clapped his hands, and two tall and wide highland maids walked into the bedroom immediately. As soon as they entered, the small bedroom was packed to the brim.

  Although Robin had been clamoring to change the maid before, he just said that the two maids had been serving him with all their heart, and both of them were familiar with each other, so Robin didn’t bother to change later.

   “Quickly wait for the master to wash up.” The old housekeeper said.

  The two highland maids burst into laughter immediately, making barbell-like laughter, and responded together: “Yes, butler.”

   Robin waved his hands in fright: “Oh, no, no, I’ll do it myself.”

   However, it was useless to resist. The two highland maids pressed down like two mountains, and Robin was finally beaten by their ruthless hands.

After washing up, Robin changed his clothes and went down to the lobby on the first floor. He saw a middle-aged man with a thin face and an ordinary appearance sitting in the lobby. Two servants stood beside him. The box should be a gift he brought for Robin.

   “Well, you must be Baron Manu.” Robin stepped forward and asked with a smile.

  Manu stood up and looked at Robin suspiciously. He had never seen Robin before: “May I ask who you are?”

  At this time, the old butler introduced from the side, “This is Baron Robin.”

As soon as Manu heard it, his head exploded with a bang. He took two steps back in shock, hurriedly bent down and gave a noble salute to Robin, and said in a panic, “I’m so blind that I can’t recognize it.” From you, my lord.”

  Robin smiled disapprovingly: “It’s okay, just sit down.”

   In front of Robin, Manu didn’t dare to sit down, so he hurriedly said: “My lord, I can stand up, you sit, I’ll stand up.”

  Manu knew very well that although everyone also held the title of a baron, the baron Robin could easily crush him to death. In front of Robin, he had better stand.

  Robin didn’t force it either. If you want to stand, then you can stand. He walked to the box brought by Manu with great interest, and stretched his neck to see what good things were inside.

“This is a small gift that I specially brought for you, my lord. Please don’t refuse, you must accept it.” Manu said nervously from the side, like someone waiting for a teacher to check his homework. student.

  The gifts that Manu brought were some furs, herbs, and some exquisite small works of art. They were not worth a lot, but in the wilderness where birds don’t shit, this gift is not too thin.

   Most pioneer lords are very poor, and generally they can’t produce any good things. I think Robin was also very struggling when he first entered the wasteland.

   According to the old housekeeper, Manu’s territory is quite barren, and he has already picked these gifts out through his teeth. It can be seen that he really wants to please Robin.

   No matter how small a fly is, it is still meat. There is no reason not to refuse the gifts that come to your door. Robin immediately said to the old housekeeper: “Accept these gifts.”

  The old butler smiled happily, and shouted upstairs: “Maid, come down and move things.”

  Hearing a heavy “dong dong dong” sound of footsteps, two highland maids walked down the stairs, and their muscular bodies stunned Manu and his servants at once.

   “What are you carrying?” The highland maid’s voice was like a bell.

   “Send these two boxes to the warehouse.” The old housekeeper ordered.

“okay.”

  When Manu came, each of the two big boxes required the joint efforts of two men to lift them, but the highland maid stepped forward, rolled up her sleeves, each carried one, and moved away easily as if effortlessly.

  Manu and the servants on the side were all dumbfounded. Before they came, they had heard that Baron Robin’s army was very powerful. When they arrived, it was indeed so. Even the maids were so domineering!

  Manu looked back at the small body of his entourage, and felt that one maid could beat two.

  Then, Robin invited Manu to have a breakfast that was not breakfast. Anyway, the other party came all the way to give gifts, and it was not good for him to go back without eating a meal.

  The two chatted at the dinner table for a while. The purpose of Manu’s visit this time is very simple, that is, to visit the pier. He used to hang out with Baron before, but now that Baron is dead, in order not to be liquidated later, he took the initiative to surrender to Robin.

   During these days, many small lords like him have come. This is the first time that Robin knows that there are so many pioneer lords in the western wilderness.

   Robin accepted the initiative of these little lords, but he didn’t promise them anything. Robin’s diplomatic purpose is very simple, I don’t want to bother with you, and you don’t mess with me, everyone will live in peace with each other.

  Manu was satisfied to meet Robin today as he wished, and finished the meal tremblingly. He was so nervous that he didn’t even remember what he ate, he just remembered to flatter Robin.

Moreover, he was still very dazed, and he couldn’t figure out how to flatter him. Robin invited him to drink a cup of tea, and he immediately shouted: “Good tea, good tea, if I’m not wrong, it must be picked from the snowfields of the Western Regions.” Snowflake tea has a special refreshing taste when you drink it. I heard that snowflake tea is very expensive, and it costs one gold per catty. Lord Robin, in our western wilderness, you are the only one who has the financial resources to afford such an expensive drink. Tea.”

  Robin sat opposite him, holding a teacup in his hand, staring at him blankly, thinking what nonsense this guy is talking about.

   “This is the chrysanthemum tea bought from Silver Frost City, or the tea foam, which costs only five coppers per catty.” Robin directly exposed him.

   “Ah, only five coppers?” Manu was dumbfounded, and the scene was a little awkward for a while.

   Even after killing Manu, I couldn’t believe it. Robin even knocked down the wind castle, but he is still drinking such cheap tea foam, five coppers per catty? Manu thought he couldn’t find such cheap tea foam even if he searched deliberately.

Manu’s face is obviously not thick enough, and his face flushed with embarrassment, but he still bite the bullet and smooth things over: “You can brew such delicious tea with such cheap tea, Mr. Robin, yours The maid is really good at making tea.”

  Robin couldn’t help being amused by him, those highland maids didn’t know how to make tea, they just boiled the water and poured the tea foam into the kettle. However, he wears everything, but flattery does not wear it. Seeing that this guy wants to flatter himself so sincerely, Robin no longer opens his mouth to make things difficult for him.

   After eating, Robin showed some kindness to the landlord and took Manu around the city of Raging Waves symbolically. Although Raging Waves City is not as prosperous as Wind Castle at the moment, there are thriving scenes everywhere in the city, which makes Manu dizzy.

Especially in Raging Waves City, there are many native slaves. Gnolls and hobgoblins are transporting stones outside the city, and goblins are cleaning the streets and disposing of excrement inside the city. Manu has never seen such a scene before, and he can’t help being amazed for a while. .

  In the evening, after finally sending Manu away, Robin returned to the Lord’s Mansion and found Aisha standing in front of the gate, apparently waiting for him.

   Robin immediately stepped forward with a smile: “Aisha, what’s the matter?”

Aisha also showed a quiet and beautiful smile. Wearing a white gauze dress, she walked gracefully to Robin, and handed over a letter with both hands: “Sent by the Snow Eagle family, just arrived, said it was an invitation letter.”

   “Invitation letter?” Robin frowned suspiciously, tore open the envelope, pulled out the letter paper, and glanced quickly.

   “What was written in the letter?” Aisha asked curiously.

   “Duke Snow Eagle is celebrating his birthday and invited me to the birthday party.” Robin was a little surprised.

   “This is a good thing, are you going?”

  Robin thought for a while, and said helplessly, “I’m too lazy to move, but I have to go.”

  Helen had just helped Robin once before, and the other party specially sent an invitation letter, so Robin had to attend.

  Birthday banquets like this are actually very common among nobles, and they are usually a small method used by various noble families to maintain relationships. Robin had just joined the ranks of nobles, and this was the first time he had to attend a banquet among nobles.

  The date of the banquet was set for a week later, Elsa asked Robin: “Do you need me to prepare a gift for you?”
