Bloodline Lord of War

  Chapter 74 Office of Government Affairs

  After Robin went out, Viscount Barker finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart anymore. With a violent roar, he swept all the books, ledgers and ink bottles on the desk to the ground.

  …

  Robin walked down the stairs and returned to the lobby on the first floor.

  The steward of the lobby stood by the stairs, and when he saw Robin coming down, he immediately bowed respectfully: "My lord baron."

  He didn't know what the mysterious baron had talked with his master, but the master seemed to attach great importance to the baron, so he didn't dare to neglect him in the slightest.

  Robin ignored the steward's attentiveness, walked past the steward without squinting, and strode towards the main entrance of the lobby.

  Silly boy Philip sat alone in the reception area of ​​the lobby, where he had been waiting since Robin went upstairs. However, he was waiting for Buck before, but now he is waiting for Robin.

   Seeing Robin walk out of the main entrance of the firm, he hastily chased after him.

   "Mr. Baron! Mr. Baron! Please wait a moment." Philip shouted while chasing.

  Carrying a wooden box in his hand, Robin stopped under the steps in front of the main entrance. He turned around and said, "Mr. Philip, is there anything else?"

  Philip took small steps and ran down from the steps of the main entrance. When he came to Robin, his attitude became respectful and he said with some coyness:

   "I would like to ask, what did you send to Viscount Buck, and why did he meet you?"

  Robin raised his eyebrows a little, and a bad taste suddenly appeared in his heart: "Do you really want to know?"

  Philip looked at the wooden box in Robin's hand, and immediately nodded: "I want to know."

   "Okay, let me show you."

   Robin said, lifting the box.

  Philip was a little strange: "Isn't the gift already given to Viscount Buck?"

  He thought that what Robin was holding was an empty box, and the gift inside had already been given to Buck.

   "Buck didn't want it." Robin showed a smirk, dragged the bottom of the box with one hand, and opened the box with the other.

  A rotten stench rushed towards his face immediately. Philip saw the contents of the box, and his expression changed drastically. He screamed, his legs went limp, and he sat down on the steps.

   "Everyone...heads!"

   With a snap, Robin closed the box again, only for Philip to see it.

  He refastened the clasp of the case, grasped the catch on the lid, and lifted the case in his hand.

   "Now, you know?" Robin lowered his head and smiled at Philip.

  Philip was stupefied with fright. He pointed at Robin, and then pointed at the wooden box in Robin's hand. He couldn't speak for a while.

  "This...how...you gave Buck a...human head?"

   As if afraid of being heard by others, Philip instinctively lowered his voice. After speaking, he looked around in fear.

   "Okay, I'll show you the stuff, I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first." After finishing speaking, Robin turned around and left.

  Philip hurriedly got up from the ground. Although he was curious about what was going on and whose head belonged to him, he didn't have the guts to continue asking.

  He looked at Robin's receding figure, hesitated for a moment, and still couldn't help shouting: "Can you tell me your name?"

  Robin didn't even look back, and continued to walk forward.

   "My name is Robin."

   Robin.

  Philip murmured silently in his heart, and tried hard to write down the name.

  …

  Robin's next destination is the Government Affairs Hall.

  The Government Affairs Office is located in the central area of ​​Silver Frost City, right next to the castle of the Duke of Silver Frost City.

   This is a three-story stone brick building with a simple shape, solemn and solemn, and people dare not approach it easily.

  There are many carriages parked in the open space in front of the gate, and many people come in and out through the gate of the government affairs hall, most of them are nobles and businessmen.

   This kind of place is not something ordinary civilians can come in casually.

  A soldier in full armor stood on both sides of the gate. They stared straight ahead with serious eyes, vigilant against everything.

  Carrying the wooden box, Robin stepped briskly up the steps in front of the main entrance, and walked into the gate of the government affairs hall.

  The soldiers glanced at the noble medal on Robin's chest, but didn't ask any questions.

  The first thing that catches the eye is a spacious hall, the dome hangs high above the head, and the clean marble floor is under the feet.

  Many people hurried past in the hall, including nobles who came to do business, and officials from the government affairs department.

   Ten steps away, facing the gate is a row of reception desks, with five female receptionists sitting behind them.

  Robin walked over quickly and stood at the front desk.

"What's the matter?"

  Compared to the reception at Barker's, the female receptionist in the Government Affairs Office looked average, and her tone was a bit indifferent, but she still maintained basic courtesy.

   Those who can work in the government affairs office are not ordinary civilians. They either have a deep relationship with the nobles, or they are nobles themselves. Barons like Robin may meet dozens of them a day.

   "I'm here to collect the bounty." Robin said, pointing to the side.

  The female receptionist followed Robin's finger and saw a reward order for a saber hanging on the wall of the government affairs hall.

   "Oh, wait a minute."

  The female receptionist was very calm, took out a form and put it in front of Robin.

   "Please fill it out."

   Robin glanced down.

Name:

age:

Profession:

Home address:

  …

  Looking at the densely packed required items above, the lord feels a little speechless.

  Since the reward order for Saber was posted, many people have come to collect the reward,

   Some of them are simply misidentified.

  Frankly speaking, the portrait of Saber has at most an octagonal image. His appearance was drawn by the artist based on the victim's dictation, and it is quite good to be able to draw it like this;

   So, if you look even a little like this portrait, congratulations, you're out of luck.

  In the eyes of others, you are simply a mobile wallet, regardless of whether you are a saber or not, it doesn't matter whether you are a saber or not, you will be arrested by the government affairs department at any time.

  Some are intentionally defrauding the bounty.

  The corpses brought by this kind of people are either burnt all over, or have no heads, or have disfigured faces. In short, it is impossible to distinguish the appearance of the corpses before death. Pointing to the corpse, they insisted that it was the saber.

   Of course, the people in the government affairs department are not fools, it is impossible for you to be whatever you say.

  Although it is a serious crime to deceive the government affairs department, if caught, you will be thrown directly into prison, but the temptation of a hundred gold coins is too great, and many people still want to try their luck. Even if the lie is discovered, you can insist that you have admitted the wrong person.

   Like Robin, the receptionist has met four people this month, so she is also a little numb, thinking: Anyway, it is probably another oolong.

  Robin was too lazy to fill in those cumbersome and meaningless forms. He put the wooden box on the front desk and said, "Here is the head of the saber."

   After speaking, he directly opened the wooden box.

  A stench immediately emanated from the box, and the female receptionist couldn't help but frowned.

She stretched her head to look into the box, her face paled with fright, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, she uttered a piercing cry, fell off the chair, and sat down on the cold bed. on the ground.

   "Head!"

  The front desk ladies in other positions heard the screams and looked over curiously. They were immediately frightened and screamed out one by one, and the front desk was in a mess.

  The guards standing guard at the door heard the commotion in the hall, and two men rushed in with swords in hand.

   "What's going on?" A guard asked loudly, full of anger.

   "Head! Human head!" The receptionist knelt on the ground, covering her face with one hand in fear, and pointed to the wooden box on the counter with the other.

  The two guards immediately looked at Robin.

  Robin turned around, smiled and said to them: "I'm here to collect the bounty, I killed the saber."
