Bloodline Lord of War - Chapter 147

   Chapter 147 247, Redstone Town

Martha stayed in Raging Waves City for a total of two days. On the first day, Robin took her to visit the iron workshop in Raging Waves City. After confirming that the quality of the ironware produced in Raging Waves City was guaranteed, the two sides finalized a deal on the second day. With a large order, Martha will purchase a batch of ironware from Raging Waves City.

  Currency is a rare item in the wasteland, and trade between pioneer lords is often based on barter, and this order from Robin and Martha is also the same. Janna will lead the caravan, first send the ironware to Hongshi Town, and then bring back stones from Hongshi Town on the return journey.

  In the lobby of the lord’s mansion, after the two parties finished their business talks, Martha stood up, smiled and said to Robin:

“Lord Baron, I know you are usually very busy, but I still want to invite you to Redstone Town as a guest. Last time my daughter bumped into you, although you didn’t care, I still feel sorry for you. This time, just Your caravan is also coming to Hongshi Town, can you come with me? Let me also have a chance to entertain you as a landlord.”

  Martha invited Robin to Redstone Town as a guest. Robin was not surprised. She mentioned this matter many times on the way back from Silver Frost City, but now the invitation is officially issued.

   Martha invited Robin for two reasons. One is to match Phil and Robin. If she can take the opportunity to cook rice, it will naturally be the best result;

The second is that Robin went to Hongshi Town as a guest. This matter itself has a strong political influence. As long as the news spreads, if other lords want to misbehave with Hongshi Town, they should consider Robin and Hongshi Town. relationship.

  Martha looked at Robin with a generous smile on her face, thinking in her heart: As long as Robin can be invited into the house, Hongshi Town will be a little safer.

“this…”

  Robin thought about it for a while. The distance between Raging Waves City and Red Stone Town is not too far. The recent incident of the mutant natives made Robin a little uneasy. He was also a little worried about the safety of the caravan, so he took it as a guard for the caravan when he went with him.

   Moreover, although Martha didn’t say it, Robin actually understood it in his heart. The price of stones that Martha sold to Robin was quite favorable, but the ironware she bought from Robin didn’t have any discount at all. After calculating inside and out, Robin actually made a lot of money.

  The order was negotiated, and Martha is Robin’s biggest client at present, and the big client rushed to invite him to his house as a guest, and Robin was not good and too shameless.

  As for the security of the territory, with Aisha in charge, Robin is relatively at ease. Even if there are a few sporadic mutant natives appearing nearby, they will not pose a threat to Raging Waves City at all.

  Take a step back, even if there was an emergency, Robin left the caravan in Hongshi Town, and he would come back in a day or two by himself.

   It’s not like Master Negan invited him to go to the snowy plateau to find ancient tombs, but he couldn’t come back for a month or two.

  Robin did some calculations. When he came back from Redstone Town, Luke should have just returned from Silver Frost City.

  Therefore, Robin agreed to Martha’s invitation: “Ms. Martha, I can’t refuse your kind invitation. That’s fine, I’ll go with the caravan.”

  When Martha heard this, she was overjoyed and said quickly, “Thank you Baron for your kindness.”

  Early the next morning, Robin and Janna led the caravan together with Martha’s convoy, and the group left Rage City.

  After departing from Raging City, walk west along the Raging River to the corner of the river, then go south, and you will arrive at Hongshi Town when you see the mountain.

  Although most of the wasteland is a plain, it is not without a mountain. Hongshi Town is located at the foot of the mountain.

The name of the mountain is Hongshi Mountain. This is a stone mountain. The mountain is not high. The highest point is less than 100 meters. There is no vegetation on the mountain. It is bare. From a distance, the whole mountain is red, red The red stone, a specialty of Shizhen, is picked from the mountain.

  Redstone Town is located on a hillside, and its area is much smaller than Raging Waves City, but in the barren wasteland, such a large town can already be considered prosperous.

  A circle of walls was also built around the town. Although it was only a short circle, it provided a little protection for the town. Inside the wall, stone houses are next to each other, and several roads divide the whole town into several parts, including residential areas, workshop areas, and commercial areas.

  Robin rode on a horse, accompanied by Martha, and walked into Redstone Town. Pedestrians on both sides stopped one after another, saluted Martha on the horse, and at the same time cast curious glances at Robin.

  Who is this man? To be able to walk side by side with Lord Martha, it must be someone important.

  Robin visited Martha’s Redstone Town while walking. Although the town is not big, everything looks in order, like a well-tuned machine, even if Martha is not there, it can still operate as usual.

  The lord can’t help but admire Martha’s level of governance. This shrewd woman, even many nobles in the empire, may not be able to match her.

  Martha’s lord’s mansion is a three-story red stone building, located at the back of the town, and is also the highest point of the entire town.

   Arriving at the Lord’s Mansion, Martha ordered the knight Saru to settle the caravan in Raging Waves City, and she took Robin and Janna into the Lord’s Mansion and arranged guest rooms for them. Then, Martha ordered the butler to prepare a banquet, and she would entertain Robin tonight.

  In the guest room, after Robin sat down, he picked up the kettle and cups on the table, and poured two cups of tea. He picked up one of the glasses and drank it down, then raised his head and called Janna, “Come here for some water.”

  Jana is looking around in the room. They are a suite with two bedrooms in total. She and Robin happen to be in one room.

The red scarf came back, sat down opposite Robin, took a sip from the teacup, and suddenly asked, “My lord, that Ms. Martha seems to care about you very much. I heard from Simon that she wants to marry her daughter to you.” Here you are, is it true?”

  Robin frowned, did not deny it, but scolded: “This Simon, his mouth is looser than the waistband of his cotton trousers. I must whip him when I go back.”

   “That Phil is quite pretty.” Janna said, her eyes carefully fixed on Robin’s face, trying to get some clues from his face.

  Robin sighed helplessly: “I’m not interested, besides, you are much prettier than her.”

  When Jana heard this, she felt very happy in her heart, and she couldn’t help but smile.

  But immediately after, Janna suddenly felt a little lonely in her heart. When she and Robin met for the first time, Robin was just a little wasteland lord, and Rage City was also in tatters. To be honest, she still didn’t think much of Robin at that time.

   But now, in less than a year, Robin has become a well-known figure in the western wilderness, and the construction of Raging Waves City is also impressive.

  Although these are things to be happy about, Janna herself is also very happy. However, she felt that she was getting further and further away from Robin.

   Robin used to be within reach, but now, even if Robin was sitting opposite her, she was afraid to reach out.

   In order to catch up with Robin, Janna has been working hard to improve herself. Her caravan is getting bigger and bigger, and her business is getting bigger and bigger. As a magic swordsman, her own strength is getting stronger and stronger.

   It’s just that Robin runs so fast that Janna can’t catch up no matter how hard she tries.

   “What’s the matter?” Robin saw that Janna seemed to have something on her mind, so she asked.

  Janna was taken aback by the question, and hurriedly replied: “I’m fine.”

  Robin frowned, thinking that since Janna didn’t want to talk about it, she wouldn’t ask any more.

   “Well, it’s fine. However, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me anytime.”

   “Yes, my lord.” Janna nodded, then stood up. “I’m a little tired, so I’ll go back to my room to rest.”

   “Okay, let’s go.” Robin looked up at Janna with a gentle smile on his face.

  Looking at Robin’s smiling face, Janna couldn’t help feeling warm. No matter how much her status and power changed, Robin was still the same Robin.

  Back in the room, Janna leaned herself against the door, shaking her head vigorously, trying to get rid of all the distracting thoughts in her head.

She said to herself: Janna, don’t think about those things. It is your greatest luck to meet Lord Robin. You just need to do your own thing well and do your best to help Lord Robin. Just be busy, don’t think about the rest!

  …

   On the other side, in Phil’s bedroom, Martha is picking out clothes for her daughter to wear to the dinner party.

   “This one is too gorgeous, this one is too plain, what the **** is this one? Do you still have clothes like this?” Martha asked Phil while holding a black tight skirt, staring back.

  Phil sat on the edge of the bed, feeling depressed all over. She knew why her mother suddenly cared about her so much, because her mother wanted to pack her into a beautiful commodity and send it to Robin’s bed.

   “Well, this one looks good.”

  Martha held a lavender dress and put it beside Phil: “You can wear this tonight.”

  Phil looked up at the dress. She liked the dress at first, but when she thought of wearing it to please Robin, she wanted to burn the dress now.

  Actually, Phil doesn’t really hate Robin, at most she just doesn’t like it. Even when she went to Raging Waves City, she somewhat changed her opinion of Robin, thinking that Robin is a young and promising lord.

  However, it was because Martha insisted on giving her to Robin like an animal, so Phil looked down on Robin anyway.

“Remember, Phil, your task tonight is to serve Baron Robin well. I will arrange your seat next to him. You have to pour more wine for him. If he laughs, you have to laugh too. do you understand?”

  Martha sat down beside Phil, earnestly teaching her daughter. She thinks her daughter is so stupid, isn’t it something we women are born with to seduce men, and I still need to teach it?

“Mom, when you say that, I feel like a maid. Why should I serve Robin? Am I his servant? This is my home, but do I want to give him an outsider?” Phil dissatisfied said.

   “You just want to treat yourself as his servant.” Martha replied firmly. “My silly daughter, it’s a good opportunity to invite Baron Robin to us, don’t let it go to waste.”

  Phil lowered his head sullenly, refusing to speak.

  Martha was also a little annoyed immediately: “You still think about that brat from Manu’s family, right?”

  Phil simply turned his head away, not even showing Martha his face.

  Martha was silent for a while, but she could only stand up helplessly, and ordered the two maids standing aside: “You guys, wait for the lady to change.”

  Leaving Phil’s bedroom, Martha returned to her own bedroom angrily. She walked back and forth twice in the room, thinking that this could not go on anymore, and that Seaman from Manu’s family had to stay away from Phil from my family.

  So she went to the desk, took out the stationery from the drawer, and began to write to Manu.

  Martha has always looked down on Manu. She thinks that Manu is just a businessman with a little money.

  In fact, Martha looked down on most of the pioneering lords on the wasteland.

  Martha does have the capital to look down on Manu. Compared with the wealthy Hongshi Town, Manu’s territory has been hovering on the verge of bankruptcy for a long time. His son Seaman also has mediocre aptitude, whether it is martial arts or leading soldiers, he is always full of big words. The only advantage may be that he is more handsome.

  Therefore, Martha absolutely cannot tolerate her daughter marrying their family, even if she is not marrying Robin, she absolutely cannot marry Seaman.

  In this letter, Martha used very harsh words, warning Manu to take care of her son, otherwise she might even use force. In addition, Martha specifically mentioned that Baron Robin was visiting her home. She thought it was something worth showing off, so she also wrote it into the letter.

  After the letter was written, she called the knight Saru and asked him to send someone to deliver the letter to Baron Manu. Manu’s territory is very close to Hongshi Town, and it doesn’t even take a day to go back and forth.

  In the evening, Martha held a grand dinner in the hall of the lord’s mansion. She had tried her best to bring out all the most delicious food, and entertained Robin with the highest level.

  At the banquet, Phil put on that beautiful lavender dress, and Martha really arranged her next to Robin. Although Phil himself was unwilling in every possible way, as long as Martha gave him a wink, she immediately stood up and filled Robin’s empty wine glass by herself.

   “Please use it slowly, Lord Baron, I hope these things suit your taste.” Phil said bluntly what Martha taught her.

  Robin also noticed that this was actually specially arranged by Martha, but he didn’t expose it, so he acted as if he didn’t see it, and took advantage of the trend. Anyway, if you are a guest at someone’s house, you just need to eat and drink well.

   Regarding Martha’s enthusiasm, frankly speaking, Robin actually enjoyed it quite a bit.
