Chapter 29 The Strength of the Barton Family



As for Lucy, Barton specially sent Newton and others away so that they could talk alone.

So Luther found such a secluded place to give Lucy and Barton a chance to speak.

But unexpectedly, things were not at all what Luther had imagined.

Seeing Lucy, Barton smiled elegantly, looking at Luther raising his eyes to block his gaze, and said very uncharacteristically: “Luther, what do you think of the girls who came here tonight?”

Luther was very surprised. These words were totally different from what he had expected. He recalled the cautious look his cousin gave him before he left.

So Luther thought about it and said, "They are all young and beautiful girls."

Lucy, Barton smiled and shook his head, saying, "You lied. I can see that you look down on these girls. Otherwise, you should be chatting with them enthusiastically now, and you should have a wonderful night tonight. Instead of staying with Newton, Soran and the others."

Luther was a little speechless and thought.

Although he really didn't want to get married so early, and he was just doing it tonight to cope with it, but it was obviously a bit too obvious.

sweat.

At this time, Lucy Barton said again: "But I understand. After all, the girls here, although they have noble status, are all country women. For Luther, the outstanding heir of the Pompeii family, you can have as many women as you want. If you come into contact with them too much, you will always get a little bored."

At this point, Lucy Barton smiled ambiguously again and said to Luther: "I know some girls from noble families. They live in the city and are much more outstanding than these country women. Do you want me to introduce some to you?"

Luther was somewhat moved, he looked carefully at this Lucy, Master Barton, who had the pale skin that was popular in the capital.

A young man with a handsome face and elegant manners.

Luther believed the other party's offer to introduce him to some noble girls. Although the other party was a baron family, they had a large fiefdom and 20 to 30 vassals, so they were considered to be among the nobles, although they might be at the bottom.

But it's not surprising to know some girls from noble families.

Girls from noble families are almost always attractive to a man like Luther who is born into a knight lord family.

But Luther was not included, because Luther aspired to become a man of great nobility.

Just like what some people say.

"I am a wealthy family myself, why should I seek a wealthy family for marriage?"

So Luther was not dazzled by Lucy Patton's temptation, but calmly analyzed the purpose of Lucy Patton's words.

The other party is suspected of being a pimp, but it is obviously impossible for him to be a pimp given his identity.

Then the other party must have a purpose.

What exactly is the purpose? Based on the information Luther currently has and his own politician level, he cannot figure out what it means.

But Luther was also smart, and he vaguely felt that the other party was probably asking him to make friends with him.

This is worth pondering.

The other party was the third son of Baron Baron, and their Pompeii family was one of Baron Baron's vassals. The noble inheritance law in this world was that the eldest son would inherit.

In other words, this Lucy in front of us, the third young master of Patton, is very likely to inherit the Patton family name and a fortune in the future and become a descendant of the nobility.

There is almost no possibility compared to Baron Patton's position.

But now the third young master is deliberately trying to make friends with him, obviously he has some ideas.

Luther couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. The ancients were not deceiving me."

Baron Barton's fiefdom was not too big, but not too small either. He owned a city, several towns, and twenty or thirty knight lords.

Luther didn't know the exact population, but it was definitely no less than 100,000, or even close to 200,000. It had at least 100 knights and about 10,000 basic military forces.

Who wouldn’t be jealous?

Luther felt that he was vaguely involved in a bloody plot of family struggle for power.

Luther was still a little worried that Lucy and Barton would say something more explicit to recruit him, and he wouldn't be able to handle it.

After all, Luther is not a born politician. He is just a seedling in this area. He would rather develop his territory and grow up slowly.

When will you become a great noble and hold power in your own hands?

Politicians don’t even need to use any skills, just use force to suppress it.

Fortunately, what Luther worried about did not happen. The third young master in front of him was quite reserved. He did not say anything to recruit him, but just spoke some normal words to Luther.

It's like two friends who just met and were having a conversation.

The content is also very aristocratic, talking about beauties and knights.

They talked about the purebred horses raised by the royal nobles and poetry. In short, this Lucy, the third young master of Barton, had already shown a friendly attitude, but did not make any further statement.

Instead, he patiently showed his sincerity and wanted to make friends with Luther.

Soon after, the conversation between the two ended. Lucy, Barton did not forget to take Luther to meet the girls of the great nobles.

"If you have the chance, come and visit me. Those young and beautiful girls will definitely make your visit worthwhile."

"Do you still use the word beautiful to describe a young girl? I guess some of them are young, but their bodies have already been developed and matured. I don't dare to touch that kind of girl."

Luther complained in his heart, but smiled and agreed, saying that he would definitely go back.

So, Lucy, Barton ended the conversation with Luther in a very happy mood, and then the two returned to the hall together.

The two returned to the hall, and Lucy Barton left as if nothing had happened. He went to drink and enjoy himself. Because Old Sol and the others had gone to another place, several old friends went to talk together.

I guess they were talking about some kind of rebellion or something.

However, some young girls and even single ladies went to talk to Lucy and Barton.

Although he is the third son of Baron Baron, he has no chance of becoming a noble, but as the third son of a baron, he will definitely inherit a considerable fortune in the future. Lucy and Barton are very popular.

The girls had a lot of thoughts, because they could see that Luther was obviously not interested in them. Since they couldn't climb the big tree of the Pompeii family, it seemed like a good idea to hook up with the third young master.

The thoughts of those single ladies were simpler. The third young master was so handsome, and it seemed nice to have a romantic affair with him.

Your circle is so chaotic!

On Luther's side, Newton and the others came over, all with a concerned look on their faces. Luther shook his head at Newton, indicating that he would talk later. He then found the old butler and asked where Old Sol was.

So I went to find Old Sol.

With the intelligence he currently has and his political skill tree, he can only vaguely guess something, but he still has to ask Old Thor for the details.

Although Luther would rather stay in the countryside to develop his territory and grow slowly.

However, considering the current strength of Pompeii Territory, it still needs to be cautious when facing such things as the Patton family.

Some things cannot be avoided.
