After Maxing out all Classes

Chapter 396: Set up a branch base

The queen was surrounded by a large group of ministers, who were arguing with each other about military and financial matters, and Robb didn't bother to listen carefully.

The queen was also busy with a lot of government affairs, not caring about the ministers around her at all.

Then the queen raised her head from a pile of files.
Seeing that Robb was coming, her expression didn't change at all.
She just said lightly, “here you are.
Well, I'm very busy here.
Let's talk about it as soon as possible.”

Except for the lazy guy in Westwind Town, the queen didn't like to waste her time chatting with any man in the world.
She even treated Robb Smith in the same way.
She pretended to be businesslike and said to Robb, “I have received a detailed report about the battle last night.
Your performance in the battle has been reported by the subordinates of Madeleine.”

Speaking of this, she glanced at Madeleine and said in a low voice, “generally speaking, the boss will take the credit of his subordinate, but Robb Smith's credit was exaggerated by the black eart knight.
He even wanted to give his credit to Robb Smith.
Isn’t it the reason why Madeleine is here?”
 

Madeleine whistled and looked at the ceiling.
“I don't know about it.
I know nothing!”

The queen shook her head.
She didn't want to argue with her bestie about such a trifle.
She turned around and said to Robb, “in this war, you nimbly used the newly made magic items.
You have made a great contribution to repel the ten thousand monsters with one thousand.
Now I decide to appoint you as a baron!”

“Wow!” The ministers next to him exclaimed at the same time, “why did he get that title at such a young age?”

Madeleine was overjoyed.
She turned to the ministers and shouted, “what's wrong? He has made a great contribution.
Can't he be a baron? Why do you have so many opinions?”

Sweat broke out on the ministers' faces.
“No, no, no, No.
It’s nothing.”
 

Ignoring the fight between the ministers and her friend, the queen continued to speak to Robb with a straight face, “you invented these new magic items.
After you invented them, have you been thinking about how to use them in actual combat?”

Robb shook his head and said, “No.
before I invented them, I first wanted a magic item with this function, so I invented them according to the function I wanted.”

The queen was lost in thought.
After a while, she turned to the minsters beside her and said, “keep it in mind! Let the Royal experts in making magic items think carefully what we need.”

At this time, Madeleine suddenly jumped to the Queen's side and whispered with a smile, “Elizabeth, you just gave Robb Smith a title.
Logically speaking, there should be a fief with the title, right?”

“A fief?” The queen was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh.
She looked at her best friend and said, “he has just made a lot of achievements, but he wants to get a fief? Is there anyone like you in the world? You just need to lie about a title, and you also need to lie about a fief to give it to your lover.”
 

“I…
I'm not his lover.” Madeleine said seriously, “we are just ordinary friends.”

The queen said with a straight face, “I've never heard that someone would cheat on her best friend for an ordinary friend.”

However, although she was complaining about Madeleine, her actions were totally different.
She turned to Robb neatly and said, “according to the law of the kingdom of Gran, if there is a title, there will definitely be a fief, but the size is a problem.”

In fact, Robb was a little interested in the fief.
Did they officially invite me to set up a branch base?

The queen quickly unfolded a large map, and then said to the secretary next to her, “is there any place suitable to give to a baron?”

Before the secretary could speak, A minister whispered, “Westwind Town is ownerless.
Now it is privately occupied by Robb and refused to return it.
Why don't we give Westwind Town to Robb Smith as a fief? He is now the disciple of Robb of Westwind Town.
After we make him the leader of the Westwind Town, he will definitely make that Robb get headaches.
Haha! How can he face his disciple?”

The queen rolled her eyes at the minister, and then shook her head decisively.
“Robb from Westwind Town doesn't like this kind of tricks the most.
To that person, you should be dignified and reasonable, instead of playing some dirty and useless tricks like this.”

The minister bowed and left.

The secretary turned over the case and said in a low voice, “Stone Canyon!”

When Robb heard the words ‘Stone Canyon ', his heart skipped a beat? Isn't that Lilian's hometown? It was about three days' walk to the north of Westwind Town.
Of course, the so-called three days referred to the average travelling speed of ordinary humans.

That was to say, it was about one hundred and fifty miles away from the north of Westwind Town.

Madeleine immediately protested, “Elizabeth, Stone Canyon is not a good place, right? It's remote and desolate, and the people there ran to Westwind Town last year.
Now it's almost a deserted land.
What's the use of giving Robb Smith a deserted land? He doesn't even have a citizen, and he can't even find someone to collect tax.”

But this time, the queen was not easily persuaded by her bestie.
She shook her head calmly and said, “no, there are new residents in the stone canyon now.
A group of residents have moved from the Crystal Canyon to settle there.
Although there are not many people, there are still hundreds of people.
It's appropriate to let a baron manage it.”

“No, that place is too broken.
Give him a closer place.” Madeleine continued, “I think Nanli Village is a good village.
There are many plains and fertile land, which is suitable for planting.”

The queen cast a sidelong glance at Madeleine and didn't know whether she should laugh or cry.
“Robb Smith, which one do you want from the Stone Canyon or Nanli Village?”

Robb shrugged and said, “only children can make a choice.
Of course, as an adult…
All of them!”

Madeleine was speechless

The queen was rendered speechless

After a few seconds, the queen said crossly, “you can only choose one!”

“Well, then I’ll choose one.” Robb whispered, “but sooner or later, you will regret that you didn't give me two together.”

“What?” The queen raised her voice, “what are you talking about? I didn't hear you clearly.”

“I didn't say anything.” Robb smiled and said, “then I'll choose the stone canyon.”
