Bloodline Lord of War - Chapter 131
Chapter 131 Waiting for Robin
Although Mrs. Martha has a house of her own in Silver Frost City, she is actually a pioneering lord. Her territory is also in the Western Wilderness. It is called Red Stone Town. The specialty is a kind of red stone. named.
Her dead husband was an illegitimate child who was not recognized in the original family. After the eldest son inherited the family title, he gave her husband a large sum of money and drove the three of them out. So, at Martha’s suggestion, their family came to the wilderness.
Martha is a strong woman. When her husband was alive, she was the ruler behind the scenes of Hongshi Town. After her husband passed away, she naturally came to the front.
It is not easy to gain a foothold in the dangerous wasteland. Martha knows the truth of leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade. When Balon was still alive, she took the initiative to move closer to Balon and separated Redstone Town and The wind castle is firmly bound together. Now that Baron was gone, Martha, like the other little lords, turned her attention to Robin.
Martha wanted to visit Robin before, but there was no suitable opportunity. These days, she heard that Duke Snow Eagle was going to hold a birthday party. Although she didn’t get an invitation, she still brought her daughter back to Silver Frost City to see if there was a chance to sneak into the party. If they can get to know a few high-ranking nobles at the banquet, it will be of great benefit to the development of Hongshi Town.
Martha has always believed in a principle: Opportunities will not come to you by themselves, you must dare to take the initiative to discover it.
Because she has always paid close attention to Robin, Martha is very sensitive to the news about Robin. She knows that Robin’s army is mainly composed of highlanders and half-elves, and there is no second one like this in the entire Northern Territory of the Empire. It’s a strange territory. If these two races appear around a person at the same time, then there is a high probability that this person is Robin.
The more Martha thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her beautiful face turned pale with fright: “If it’s really Robin, it will be terrible.”
If her daughter offends the nobles of Silver Frost City, Martha is not so afraid. After all, her territory is in the wasteland, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and it is difficult for the nobles of Silver Frost City to do anything to her.
As a popular figure in the wasteland recently, although Phil didn’t try to understand it deliberately, she had heard Robin’s name before. She saw her mother panicking, but her little face was full of indifference: “Even if it is Baron Robin, what can I do?” Like? Mom, you like making a fuss too much.”
Martha looked at her daughter and thought helplessly: Apart from being as beautiful as me, this child is exactly the same as her naive and stupid father.
She reprimanded angrily: “What do you know? Now, Baron Robin is the overlord of the western wilderness. He just broke through the Wind Castle and killed Baron. The Golden Rose’s Master Vaughn was helpless against him, and the Duke of Snow Eagle was helpless against him. He appreciates it very much, and I heard that Knight Helen also has a good friendship with him, Baron Robin is strong and strong, we can’t afford to provoke him at all!”
Martha reprimanded her head and face, and Phil shrank his shoulders in fright: “Then what should we do?”
“Madam, we can’t be sure that the other party is Baron Robin.” Saru said aside, he wanted to excuse the lady.
Martha stood there thinking for a moment, then she thought about it again, and felt that this seemed to be a good opportunity to get close to Baron Robin. The so-called crisis is the coexistence of danger and opportunity.
She guessed that Baron Robin appeared in Silver Frost City. Given his relationship with the Snow Eagle family, he probably came to the Duke Snow Eagle’s birthday party. If so, Baron Robin might be blocked on the only way to Snow Eagle Castle.
Thinking of this, Martha acted immediately, she said to Saru: “Saru, come with me, let’s go out.”
Saru: “Yes, ma’am.”
Martha walked quickly to the door, turned around worriedly, and warned Phil in a stern tone: “You just stay at home obediently, and you are not allowed to go anywhere, you have caused me enough trouble Already!”
Phil’s face was full of grievances, and he lowered his head and replied in a low voice: “Yes, Mom.”
…
A moment later, Martha and Saru came to the square in front of the gate of Snow Eagle Castle. This is the only way to enter the castle.
Saru held a small gift box in his hand, which contained a simple and elegant silver necklace, which was chosen by Martha as a gift for Robin.
“Madam, can we really wait for Baron Robin here? Maybe he has already entered Snow Eagle Castle by this time, and we don’t even know if that person is Baron Robin.” Saru asked worriedly. I feel that waiting in the square is a waste of time, this method is too stupid.
Martha turned around and explained to Saru with a serious expression: “Tomorrow is the Duke’s banquet, and we will wait here for a day at most. It is best to wait until we can, and we will not think of other ways.”
“Saru, don’t be afraid of trouble, don’t be afraid of wasting time. Do you know how much time, energy and money I spent to get Redstone Town? After getting a development certificate, I waited three days outside Earl Ivan’s office, and you must be patient if you want to succeed.”
Every time he listened to Mrs. Martha’s speech, Saru felt enlightened, and he immediately replied seriously: “I understand, madam.” And firmly remembered Martha’s words in his heart: If you want to be successful, You have to be patient.
The two of them waited in the square for a long time. Martha was still wearing high heels. After standing for a long time, she felt her legs were sore and her calves were swollen and painful.
Saru noticed her strangeness, and said caringly: “Madam, how about I help you sit aside for a while?”
Martha shook her head firmly. This is the rule she set for herself. When waiting for someone, if the person is particularly honorable and important, then she must stand and wait. Only in this way can she show her respect for the other party.
After waiting for another hour, seeing that the sun was about to set, Saru suddenly changed his expression, raised his finger to the front, and exclaimed in surprise: “Ma’am, look over there, there are those three people.”
Martha was already exhausted and sluggish. After hearing Saru’s words, she immediately regained her spirits. She looked in the direction Saru pointed, and sure enough, she saw three people coming on horseback.
Among the crowds coming and going, the combination of these three people was too conspicuous. A young man walked at the head of the team, followed by a highlander and a half-elf. They walked into the square and immediately attracted many curious eyes.
Martha had never seen Robin before, she was overjoyed, and immediately led Saru forward to block the three of Robin.
“Sir, please stop for a while.”
Martha stepped forward, first slightly bent her knees, and performed a noble salute with a dignified appearance.
“Excuse me, may I ask you the Baron Robin?” Martha looked up at Robin, with an impeccable smile on her beautiful face.
Robin didn’t recognize Martha, but he recognized Saru who was behind Martha. He frowned slightly in doubt, seeing that the two of them didn’t seem to be seeking revenge, so he replied, “Who are you? What are you looking for?” whats the matter?”
When Martha saw that she had found the right person, she couldn’t help being overjoyed. She hurriedly stepped forward and said, “My name is Martha, and I’m also a pioneer lord. My territory is in Hongshi Town. I don’t know if you’ve heard of it. .I’m here waiting for you, and I’m here to apologize.”
After finishing speaking, she turned her head and yelled at Saru, “Apologize to Lord Robin!”
Saru was actually very unconvinced in his heart. He still favored Phil, thinking that his young lady had been wronged. But he couldn’t disobey Martha’s order, walked up to Robin’s horse, knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and said in a low voice, “I offended you, my lord, in the jewelry store before, please forgive me.”
Then, Saru raised the gift box with both hands.
“This is a small thought from me. I apologize to you, and please don’t refuse. My daughter is naughty by nature, and I have already taught her a lesson. Another day, I will take my daughter and visit the door again. You formally apologize.” Martha said, took the gift box from Saru, and handed it to Robin.
The so-called do not hit smiling people, not to mention that Robin was not very angry at first. He took the gift box and opened it to take a look. He was not interested in the necklace, but at least it looked quite valuable.
Take it back to Janna. Thinking to himself, Robin handed the gift box to Simon and asked him to keep it.
“Oh, so that little girl is your daughter. She should be disciplined and disciplined. If you dare to rob things blatantly today, I don’t dare to think about what she can do tomorrow.”
Robin rode on the horse and kindly advised. The daughter gave Robin a bad impression, but this mother made Robin feel very good.
Martha stood in front of Robin’s horse and nodded humbly: “Yes, yes, you are right. I will definitely discipline her strictly in the future.”
“Okay, I have received your apology. If there is nothing else, we will leave.” Robin said, and his legs lightly clamped the horse’s belly.
Martha hurried out of the way, stood aside, and said goodbye to Robin with a smile: “Go slowly, I will visit again some day.”
It wasn’t until the three of Robin walked away that the smile on Martha’s face gradually disappeared. She breathed out a long sigh of relief, and said happily, “Fortunately, we are here. This person is indeed Baron Robin. For once we were a blessing in disguise.”
Martha thought to herself: With this opportunity, it will be logical to go to Raging Waves City to seek a meeting in the future. Although this trip to Silver Frost City failed to find the opportunity to attend Duke Snow Eagle’s birthday party, but getting to know Baron Robin, the trip was not in vain.
…
The three of Robin rode to the gate of Snow Eagle Castle. With an invitation letter from the Duke of Snow Eagle, they entered the castle easily.
The castle of the Xueying family is quite large, and the inside is like a maze. It is located in the Silver Frost City, like a city within a city. The architectural style of the castle is very characteristic of the Northern Territory, and the overall bias is pragmatism without too many flashy decorations.
It was the first time for the three of Robin to enter the castle of a great nobleman, especially Simon and Luke. The two of them couldn’t help being deeply shocked by the magnificent scene in front of them, with stunned expressions on their faces.
The servant brought Robin and his party to the prepared customer service. Robin had a room alone, and Simon and Luke had a room. All kinds of furniture in the room are readily available, the floor is clean and spotless, the bed is covered with snow-white sheets, and there is a fresh fruit plate on the table.
“Master Baron, please wait a moment, I will report right away.” The servant left this sentence very politely, and then left.
Simon sat down with a big thorn, picked up the red apple on the table and took a bite, and said: “These nobles really enjoy it. Compared with them, the place we live is like a pig’s nest.”
Luke stood in front of an oil painting on the wall, which showed a naked woman, and the handsome elf frowned slightly in disgust: “I still don’t understand, why do these so-called painters like to draw naked women so much? Draw something Isn’t it better to have flowers, birds, insects, fish, mountains, rivers and rivers? No matter how bad it is, at least let these women wear clothes.”
Warrior Iron Bear laughed happily at the side, deliberately mocking: “This is called art, what do you know?”
Although this guy doesn’t know what art is at all, it doesn’t stop him from mocking Luke.
Luke turned around and immediately choked back: “You know? You can’t even write your own name well, how dare you talk about art?”
Robin didn’t bother with the bickering between the two of them. He sat at the round table and poured himself a cup of tea. Looking at the exquisite porcelain tea set in front of him, the lord, who was always sensitive to money, couldn’t help but guess the price of the tea set. .
Well, at least fifty silver, Ma De, it’s nice to have money.
After waiting for a long time, Helen came, and she also brought a middle-aged man with a serious face.
“Robin, you are finally here, I have been waiting for you.”
Helen greeted Robin warmly as soon as she entered the door. She was wearing a white uniform today, which made Robin feel very fresh. Every time she saw her in the past, she always looked tough and sharp.
Robin chatted with Helen for a few words, and Helen suddenly asked: “By the way, Robin, do you have a dress?”
“Gown?” Robin was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head.
Helen slapped her forehead helplessly: “You don’t just want to wear this dress to the banquet, do you? Fortunately, I asked in advance.”
Robin looked down at his clothes, and immediately realized that he was wearing something plain. Normally, he doesn’t care about his attire at all. The lord is very similar to Simon in this way. It is enough that the clothes can cover the body and keep out the cold. What’s the use of so many bells and whistles?
“This is already my best dress, and I even dressed up before going out.” Robin pouted.
“I was just worried about you, so I specially brought Lawrence along.” Helen smiled and raised her hand to signal the meticulous middle-aged man standing behind her.
Lawrence bowed to Robin and saluted. His movements were impeccable, and his manner was more elegant than Robin’s.
He said seriously: “Next, I will choose a suitable dress for you.”
At this time, Simon, who was listening on the side, suddenly grinned and asked naively: “The leader has new clothes to wear, okay, what about us?”
Lawrence glanced at Simon and replied coldly: “You don’t want to attend the banquet, there is no need for that.”
