Bloodline Lord of War - Chapter 130
Chapter 130 Shopping incident
“Gifts? Oh yes, gifts.”
Robin thought about it, at least he was going to Duke Snow Eagle’s birthday party, so it seemed inappropriate to go empty-handed.
“Then you help me prepare it, but remember not to choose too expensive gifts, that’s what you mean, anyway, Duke Xueying is not short of money.” Robin’s miser’s nature gained the upper hand again.
Aisha chuckled twice, as if she had already guessed what Robin would say, and replied, “Please rest assured, I know.”
…
As the date of the banquet approached, Robin took Simon and Luke, three people and three horses, and set off for Silver Frost City. When Robin was away, Raging City was still managed by Aisha as before.
All the way without a word, after two days of running in the wasteland, Robin and the others arrived at Silver Frost City smoothly.
It was still early, Robin was not in a hurry to report to Snow Eagle Castle, he wanted to take a stroll in the city. On the way here, while chatting, Luke inadvertently mentioned that Aisha’s birthday is coming soon. Thinking of Aisha’s busy schedule for the territory, sometimes even so busy that she didn’t even have time to eat, Robin felt that Aisha’s birthday was coming soon. As the lord, there should be something to say.
So, he decided to buy Elsa a birthday present to reward her for her dedication.
The three of Robin came to the most prosperous commercial street in Silver Frost City. The shops on the left and right were decorated very luxuriously, and most of the commodities sold inside were priceless, which were not affordable by ordinary residents. Gorgeous, everyone looks rich.
Robin, a straight man of steel, wouldn’t know how to choose gifts, but he thinks that women must like jewelry, and Aisha should be no exception. Giving jewelry, while old-fashioned, is certainly not too far off the mark.
The three of them went to several jewelry stores in a row. The jewelry inside the counters were all eye-catching and beautiful, and they dazzled Robin, an old-fashioned hat. But after reading too much, he didn’t know what to choose.
Robin knew that the half-elves had always studied artworks, so he asked Luke for his opinion.
“How about this one?”
In a jewelry store called “The Lady”, Robin stood in front of the counter, picked up a silver necklace and asked Luke.
Luke stood by and shook his head with a serious expression: “The workmanship is terrible.”
“What about this one?” Robin picked up another gold ring.
Luke frowned, with a disgusted expression on his face: “It’s too vulgar, and it’s not worthy of the patriarch at all, no way.”
“How about that? I think it looks pretty.” Robin pointed to a gold bracelet on the counter again.
Luke stroked his chin, looked at the bracelet and considered for a moment, then said helplessly: “The workmanship is not bad, but it doesn’t match the patriarch’s temperament.”
Robin suddenly became a little angry, went up and kicked Luke’s ass: “This doesn’t work, that doesn’t work, are you here to find fault?”
Luke rubbed his butt, his handsome face was full of grievances: “My lord, didn’t you let me choose carefully?”
While Robin and Luke were picking out gifts, Simon stood aside stupidly, yawning bored. For the highlanders, these gadgets are just good-looking, but they can’t be used as weapons. They have a fart.
The owner of the jewelry store is a middle-aged man with a mustache. He stood straight behind the counter, smiling as he watched Luke comment on his family’s jewelry. The business smile on his face was almost gone.
Suddenly, Robin found a pair of crescent-shaped silver earrings in the corner of the counter. Although he didn’t know much about jewelry, he liked it very much at first sight and thought the pair of earrings matched Elsa very well.
“These earrings are pretty good, boss, let me have a look.” Robin said pleasantly.
“Okay.” The boss of the character mustache said “customer first, customer first” in his heart, and respectfully brought the earrings to Robin.
“How about this pair of crescent moon earrings?” Robin held an earring in one hand and asked Luke expectantly.
“very…”
Luke originally wanted to say “very average”, but when he saw the lord’s face showing a fierce look, with an expression of “I’ll beat you if you dare to provoke”, he quickly changed his words: “Very…very good, I think the patriarch will definitely like.”
Robin laughed happily. He was very satisfied with the gift he chose: “I also think Elsa will definitely like it. Boss, this is what I want.”
“My lord, you really have vision.” Seeing that the business is about to be completed, the boss of the character Hu suddenly smiled brightly, and the displeasure just now was swept away.
“Yeah! These earrings are so pretty!”
At this time, I suddenly heard a beautiful voice coming from behind, and before Robin could turn his head, a youthful figure jumped beside him, staring at the earring in Robin’s hand with fondness.
It was a young girl who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, with beautiful long chestnut hair. Although her appearance could not be said to be overwhelming, she was still young and beautiful, enough to fascinate a large number of Huaichun teenagers. She rushed to Robin’s side, and Robin suddenly smelled a faint fragrance.
Behind the girl, stood a tall and burly guard with a sword hanging from his waist, with a fierce face.
The well-dressed girl and the burly guard, Robin could tell at a glance that this must be the daughter of a noble family.
“I like this pair of earrings very much, boss, how much is it, I bought it.” The girl said happily, ignoring Robin at the side.
Luke watched from the sidelines, and shook his head helplessly: first the baron, and then this girl, what kind of taste do these people have.
The girl seems to be a regular customer of this store, and the mustache boss also recognizes her. The boss looked embarrassed, looked at Robin, and said to the girl in embarrassment, “I’m sorry, Miss Phil, this pair of earrings has already been bought by this adult.”
The girl named Phil turned her head to look at Robin. Her tone was very rude, and she said directly: “Hey, uncle, give me these earrings.”
Uncle? Robin suddenly had a question mark on his forehead, wondering if I am that old?
“No.” Robin was upset and refused very simply.
“It’s useless for you as a man to ask for these earrings. I can pay you double the price.” Phil still didn’t give up. “I really love this pair of earrings, it was an instant hit.”
Robin thinks this woman is simply inexplicable, you like to have nothing to do with me.
Frankly speaking, when Phil offered to pay twice the price, Robin was really tempted, but this was a birthday present chosen for Aisha, if it was just handed over in exchange for money, Robin felt that I would be too sorry for Aisha Sarah.
“No, no, no, don’t talk nonsense.” Robin coldly refused. “Boss, help me wrap the earrings.”
Seeing that Robin refused to give up his love, Felton was a little annoyed, and the lady immediately lost his temper. She watched maliciously from the side, and suddenly pointed to the window on one side and shouted: “Ah! What is that?”
The mustache boss was packing earrings for Robin. When he heard Phil’s cry, he instinctively turned his head and looked over.
Phil had a wicked smirk on his face, and while the boss was not paying attention, he reached out to **** the earrings. The little girl’s thoughts are very simple and ridiculous. If I grab it, it will be mine, and I will pay for it later.
But as soon as she stretched out her hand, Robin grabbed it.
Robin couldn’t help laughing, and sarcastically said: “With your little trick, you can only deceive a three-year-old child.”
The boss with the mustache finally came to his senses. Looking at the other people in the store, except for him, all of them looked like a mirror. It turned out that he was the only one who was cheated. The boss immediately felt very ashamed: I was the only three-year-old kid co-authoring the audience.
Phil was grabbed by Robin’s wrist, his expression immediately became painful, and he cried pitifully: “It hurts! Let me go!”
Actually, Robin didn’t use any strength at all. If he really used his strength, the little girl’s little arm could be broken with a snap. However, even if Robin didn’t use his strength, ordinary people wouldn’t be able to stand being grabbed by him.
The guard behind Phil immediately stepped forward, grabbed Robin’s wrist, and said in a cold voice, “Let go of my lady!”
Robin smiled disdainfully, and he could feel that the guards were increasing their strength, trying to use brute force to force Robin to let go.
This guard is quite strong, and he is also thick-backed, but it is a pity that he found the wrong opponent. His strength is not much different from a massage to Robin.
The guard suddenly exerted force on his hand, seeing that the young man in front of him was still looking calm, he couldn’t help being surprised, thinking: This young man is not simple!
At this time, Simon strode up and bumped into the guard like a brown bear, knocking him to the ground with his shoulder.
“Let go of your stinky hands, my leader is also something you can touch casually?!” The iron bear warrior opened his eyes wide and roared like thunder.
Luke also stepped forward, with a stern face, one on the left and one on the right with Simon, like two guardians, blocking Robin behind him.
Seeing the guard being knocked over, Phil was obviously frightened, and exclaimed in fear: “Saru!”
Saru immediately got up from the ground. He was very annoyed, and with a swipe, he pulled out the cross sword on his waist and shouted loudly: “Let her go!”
“Relax, I didn’t intend to do anything to her.” Robin said as she let go of Phil, leaving five bright red finger marks on her slender arms.
Phil’s beautiful big eyes were filled with tears, and she broke away from Robin’s clutches. She hurriedly retreated behind the guard Saru, looking at Robin vigilantly.
Her frightened and angry appearance made Robin speechless. It was obviously you who made the move first, so why did you act like you were the victim?
“Miss, let’s go.” Saru put the sword back into the scabbard, and he didn’t want to make things big.
Phil was aggrieved, and nodded without saying a word, and then the two left the lady’s jewelry store in despair.
Behind the counter, the boss with the character mustache let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was no fight, otherwise his shop would suffer.
The store quickly returned to calm, and Robin felt relieved, so he pretended that what happened just now hadn’t happened, turned around and said to the boss, “Wrap up the earrings for me.”
…
Leaving the lady’s jewelry store, Phil and Saru walked on the street. Phil pitifully blew on the finger prints on his wrist with his small mouth. The more she thought about it, the more angry she became. The whole person is like a balloon, about to be blown up.
“Saru, why didn’t you teach them a lesson just now?” Phil said angrily.
Saru showed a helpless expression: “Miss, those three people are not easy to mess with.”
Phil heard the voice immediately: “You can’t beat them?”
Saru nodded sincerely: “If you can’t beat that highlander, he is not easy to mess with. The young man who grabbed your hand is not an ordinary guy, he is very strong!”
Phil became even angrier when he heard this: “It’s really useless!” Then she ignored Saru and walked forward quickly.
Saru hurriedly chased after him: “Miss, where are you going?”
“I go home!”
A moment later, in the aristocratic area of Silver Frost City, inside a two-story building with a single family.
Phil pushed open the door angrily, walked into a lounge, ignored the beautiful woman sitting on the sofa, went straight to the table, picked up the wine glass on the table, and drank all the red wine inside. into the stomach.
The beautiful woman looked at Phil from the side, and frowned her pretty thin eyebrows in dissatisfaction: “Phil, didn’t you even say hello to your mother when you came back? How rude!”
The beautiful woman’s name is Martha, a baroness who inherited her title from her dead husband. Although she is a bit older, she still has a charm, and her appearance is seven or eight points similar to Phil. She was wearing a black dress, showing a mature charm all over her body.
“Mother, I was bullied outside!” Phil shouted suddenly, she jumped to the side of the beautiful woman, rolled up her sleeves, revealing the fingerprints on her wrists.
Martha looked at Phil’s red wrist, and couldn’t help showing a distressed expression on her face. At this time, Saru also walked into the room, she immediately turned her head and asked, “Saru, what’s going on?”
Saru walked up to Martha, and said respectfully: “Report to Madam, that’s what happened…” Then, he seriously explained the ins and outs of the matter.
After hearing this, Martha frowned slightly annoyed, and reprimanded Phil: “Didn’t you take the initiative to provoke trouble?”
Phil sat beside his mother, shouting nonsense: “But I really like that pair of earrings!”
“Nonsense, it’s nonsense!” When Martha saw that her daughter dared to talk back, she immediately became furious. “Phil, if you continue to be so willful, let me tell you, sooner or later our mother and daughter will be killed by you!”
Phil wanted to find her mother to comfort herself, but unexpectedly, she was scolded instead. She was wronged and sad, with tears rolling in her eyes, she lowered her head and whispered, “I see, mother.”
Martha is cautious by nature. In the Silver Frost City where dragons and tigers are hidden, it would be difficult for a small nobleman like her to survive if she is not careful.
She thought about it, and then asked Saru anxiously: “Are those three people strong?”
Saru nodded affirmatively: “Yes, I am not their opponent.”
“Could it be some noble young master? I’m worried, will they come to trouble us?”
Saru hesitated for a moment: “Probably not. Although they didn’t look very friendly, they didn’t say anything when we left.”
Martha pondered for a while, and suddenly, she suddenly discovered something, and asked in surprise: “You said, they are a young man, plus a highlander and a half-elf?”
“Yes.” Saru showed doubts on his face. He also felt that this combination was quite strange. Most people would not let a highlander and a half-elf serve as followers.
Martha stood up, with a confused expression on her face: “Oh no, that young man…couldn’t be Baron Robin?!”
