Bloodline Lord of War

  Chapter 71 Give a gift

   Robin continued his "horse bandit game".

  Buck's business had seven caravans entering and leaving the wasteland. In the next month, Robin robbed these seven caravans one by one, causing a direct loss of up to 1,000 gold coins.

  Even if Buck is rich and powerful, this thousand gold coins is not a small amount.

What annoyed Buck even more was that every time this group of robbers robbed his caravan members, the soldiers guarding the city gate would know that Buck's firm had been robbed again as soon as they saw a group of people coming back in their underwear. up.

   Now, Buck's Firm has become a laughing stock of Silver Frost City. Viscount Buck's majesty was swept away, and many people called him "Lord Underpants" behind his back, which made him ashamed to go out.

  In the end, Buck was really afraid of being robbed, so in desperation, he simply suspended the business related to the wasteland.

   On the other hand, because Robin robbed too frequently, although no other caravans were robbed for the time being, the imperial patrol had to step up their patrols.

  The famous female knight Helen of Silver Frost City even uttered harsh words, she must bring this group of hateful horse bandits to justice. The reward for Earl of the Saber has also increased from one hundred gold coins to one hundred and fifty.

   In this way, Buck no longer sent caravans to the wasteland, and the imperial patrols caught up tightly again. Robin had neither a robbery target nor a robbery opportunity.

Moreover, although Aisha used the elven secret method to embalm Saber's head, but after so long, and it is a scorching summer, if Saber's head is not exchanged for a reward from the Government Affairs Office, I am afraid it will rot Can't recognize it.

  So, Robin followed the trend and ended his career as a horse bandit.

  Speaking of which, the lord is really reluctant, after all, such a no-cost business like Jie Dao is really exciting. The goods snatched from Buck during this period brought Raging Waves City another big development.

  …

   On this day, Robin came to Silver Frost City alone with a saber head, and he came to exchange rewards.

  He first came to the headquarters of Buck's firm, because Buck also offered a reward of one hundred gold coins for catching the thief.

  In the most prosperous part of the commercial street of Silver Frost City, Barker House has a very conspicuous three-story building, which occupies an area twice as large as the adjacent shops.

  The main entrance of the firm was wide open, and there was an endless stream of customers coming in and out. On the top of the main entrance hung a white flag bearing the logo of Barker's: a golden four-leaf clover.

  Robin was carrying a wooden box in his hand. Standing in front of the gate of Buck's Firm, he first looked up. Then stepped in.

The hall on the first floor is very lively, facing the gate is a row of counters, and there are many staff members of the firm sitting behind; on the left is the meeting area, with many tables, chairs and benches, where many businessmen are discussing business; on the right are several Separate room, and stairs to the second floor.

  Robin strode to the counter, slammed the wooden box in his hand on the counter, and said, "I want to see you, Viscount Buck."

  Behind the counter was a pretty young girl. She was taken aback by Robin's posture, but her excellent professionalism made her show a perfect smile immediately.

   "Sir, what business do you need me to handle for you?"

  While speaking, the girl at the counter was also looking at Robin. Robin's clothes were ordinary, and he didn't look like an aristocrat at all.

  Given the current hard-working economic situation in Rage City, I don't support the lord's overbearing clothes.

  The little girl at the counter thought contemptuously: With Lord Buck’s reputation in Silver Frost City, people who want to meet him can line up from the south gate to the north gate every day. You want to see Lord Buck, so don’t dream.

  Of course, when thinking about this, the girl at the counter still has an impeccable smile on her face.

  Then, the girl at the counter suddenly smelled a strong stench, as if something had rotted, and it smelled disgusting.

  She immediately locked the wooden box in Robin's hand, couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Sir, what's in this box?"

   "Don't worry about it, I'm here to see Viscount Buck." Robin said with a cold face, in an unquestionable tone. "I don't want to make things difficult for you. I'm Baron Robin. As long as you mention my name to Viscount Buck, he will naturally come to see me."

  As soon as she heard that the other party was a baron, the girl at the counter was astonished, but she didn't dare to neglect her at all. She hurriedly got up and said, "Please wait a moment, I will report."

  The little girl at the counter left her seat, and after a while, she came back with a middle-aged man.

   "This is our lobby steward." The girl at the counter introduced.

  The steward was short and fat, with his small eyes nearly blurred into a slit. He politely said to Robin, "My lord Baron, may I know what you need from Mr. Barker? This will also make it easier for me to report."

  Robin smiled, and patted the wooden box on the counter: "I'm here to give him a gift, and this box is the gift."

The steward said: "Lord Baron, I'm really sorry, our Lord Barker is too busy and usually doesn't see visitors. If you want to give a gift, I can write it down for you. I will accept this gift first. You Can you see it?"

   There are not a hundred or eighty people who give gifts to Buck every day. These refusal managers have long been familiar with it.

   "That won't work. I must personally give this gift to Buck. If he doesn't see me, I won't leave. You have to take care of the food today." Robin was a rascal, sitting on the chair in front of the counter.

  He smiled and said to the steward: "I tell you, as long as you mention my name to Buck, he will definitely meet me."

  The steward was a little hesitant, but seeing the swearing look of the baron, he didn't dare to bite the bullet to death, what if it was the boss's relatives and friends.

  After weighing it for a while, he finally said: "Then, please wait a moment, my lord, I will report right away."

  …

  At this time, Buck happened to be in the office on the third floor. He stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the bustling city streets in the distance, frowning, thinking.

   During this period of time, the saber has been unable to be contacted, and the caravan has been robbed. A series of troubles have caused Buck to be devastated.

  At first, he suspected that Saber had betrayed him. After all, he was a bandit, so he didn't trust Saber much.

  But later, Buck found that only his caravan was robbed, and nothing happened to the other caravans. While being extremely annoyed, Buck also understood that this gang of horse bandits had come specifically for him.

   Then the suspicion of the saber is directly ruled out, because that guy is a mercenary bastard, and it is impossible to just focus on robbing a family.

   This group of horse bandits carried the flag of the saber, targeting Buck's firm specifically, but the saber could not be contacted. Combining various conditions, Buck began to wonder if the saber had been killed? !

  He began to think, did his enemy do it?

   If there is no enmity with him, it is impossible to just stare at his caravan.

  But he has been doing a lot of dirty things and made too many enemies, and he couldn't guess who it was at the moment.

   After much deliberation, a name suddenly appeared in his mind, could it be Baron Robin!

  Yes, kill the saber, does Baron Robin have that strength?

  Buck was thinking about this when the office door suddenly rang.

"Come in."

  The door opened, and the steward on the first floor came in, and said respectfully, "My lord, a baron came down below, who called himself Robin, and said he wanted to give you a gift, but he insisted on seeing you."

  As soon as he heard the name "Robin", Buck's expression changed immediately.

   "Bring him up immediately!"
