Chapter 132 Visit
At the end of the month, Locke finally had time to go to Xia Qian and them to warm up for a few days.
During the time of Kaidozi's time, the four women from Charlotte were not used to it, and the most basic thing was that there was no one to communicate with except each other.
The accent that was clearly different from Faustin's made the people of the small town under the Baron full of wariness of them.
It is no wonder that even the people who came from the capital of King Faustin could not eat well in the countryside of the southern province of Del.
The most fierce and xenophobic folk customs in the country belong to Del Province.
Because there are many mountains and dense forests here, the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, and they are talking about the civilians of Del Province.
Locke's arrival made several women very excited.
Especially Christine, this little girl didn't have the posture of a little princess of a big family at all, and the moment she saw Locke, she pounced on it, like a koala, hanging around Locke's neck, and she didn't want to come down all day.
Locke took the four women and took a good look around the town, and Locke's obvious standard military uniform and the bright sword at his waist made the residents of the town enthusiastic.
Other than that, there are more of Locke's subordinates.
Most of the soldiers of the cavalry squadron are from this small town, at first I don't know who first saw Locke shopping with a few women, and then all came to greet their squadron leader.
Compared with the Will knights with noble titles, Locke, who is also a civilian, is easier to get along with these cavalrymen.
During the day, Locke belongs to Christine, and at night Locke belongs to Xia Qian.
The little girl pouted, and after being reluctantly dragged to sleep by Rafe, Xia Qian couldn't help but rush into Locke's arms.
Because it's not bad for money, the places where Locke places the girls are all the most upscale hotels, and there is no need to worry about the sound being too loud to spread next door, Locke hasn't tasted meat for more than a month, and almost made Xia Qian faint.
In the second half of the night, he went to look for Grace, he knew that several women slept in separate rooms, and in Grace's exclamation, Locke pressed on.
This time Grace did not refuse Locke, but hugged him tightly, her nails were embedded in Locke's back, and Locke attacked more violently under the stimulation of pain.
After a week with the four daughters, Locke returned to Mine Town.
Before going back, Locke went to Baron Kaidozi once.
Baron's Castle Locke was the first time to visit, and from a distance the town outside looked like a bunker-like building, but when you got closer, it was completely different.
The towering castle walls and heavily guarded interior make Locke feel more like a fortress than a place to live in.
After the old butler John had taken Locke to a drawing-room, he told him not to run around, and turned to call the baron.
Locke looked at everything in the castle freshly, although this castle was not as vast and huge as the Marquis Philip's mansion, but it exuded an aggressive momentum and a rigorous style everywhere.
Only in the barracks can you see this view.
This made Locke feel comfortable, and Locke, who was visiting the Baron's Castle for the first time, was more curious than nervous.
When the personable baron arrives in the drawing-room, Locke reports on the situation in the town of Mines for the last month, with a focus on the suppression of bandits.
It can be said that within a radius of three hundred miles from the mining town, there are no Xiaoxiao who dare to show their heads, which is also the main reason why Locke can take the time to come here to see Xia Qian and them.
The Baron first acknowledged Locke's achievements, then rewarded the soldiers of the Mines with a considerable amount of silver, and finally when Locke was about to leave, the Baron forced him to stay and have lunch.
At this lunch, in addition to the increasingly rusty Young Master Zoro, Locke was fortunate to meet the baron's other son, the second young master Barton led by Kaidozi.
This Young Master Patton does not give people a sense of honesty like his name, on the contrary, the first time Locke sees him, he thinks that this man of his age is very shrewd.
Barton, who has taken care of Baron Kaidozi's territory for several years, shows a temperament or demeanor that is very similar to Baron Kaidozi.
Locke didn't deliberately make friends, but after the dinner, he was able to talk to Young Master Barton very happily.
Young Master Patton did not show the slightest bit of aristocratic behavior, but called himself Brother Locke.
Locke was indeed a little younger than him, but it was not up to him to decide his birthday in September.
Young Master Zoro left as soon as he finished eating, embarrassing Locke, who was about to say hello to him.
Although Barton was enthusiastic about himself, Locke still knew that he was not enthusiastic about himself as a person, but about his position, and even the vague friendship with Princess Angelina.
From the depths of Barton's eyes, Locke could see his disdain, it was the disdain of the superior to the subordinate, from the bottom of his heart, in the past few years since joining the army, Locke has seen too many such eyes.
This Young Master Barton still hasn't had enough experience.
Rejecting Barton's invitation to dinner, Locke rode back to the mine overnight.
Angelina's news, Locke also learned from the baron that Her Royal Highness the Princess had left the Charlotte royal capital in the middle of this month, and was now on her way home.
Baron Kaidozi also vaguely mentioned that the princess may arrive in the royal capital of Flor around the 10th of next month.
Locke pretended not to understand Baron Kedozi's hints.
The love affair between the civilian boy and the princess, Locke can't admit it even if he is killed, and the future of him and Angelina can only go wherever they go, sometimes Locke thinks pessimistically.
April and May are the heaviest months of farm work in the countryside, and Locke was fortunate enough to experience it.
Despite the family's savings of more than a thousand silver Dele, old Locke and Tia did not leave the crops in the field.
"Our family is not short of food, why are you so tired?" said Locke, who was shirtless and panting with a hoe.
"That money is for your sister's dowry and your dowry!" said old Locke unceremoniously.
At this time, Locke really wanted to take out all the money he was hiding and scare them, but unfortunately, this can only be thought.
He couldn't explain the origin of the money, and Locke's current total assets were roughly calculated by himself, and they were about two thousand kindlers.
There were bribes from Viscount Melson, the harvest from the Marquis Philip's mansion, the large amount of loot confiscated from the knight of Will in Otis City, and the filial piety given by the captains of his squads.
In just one year, Locke was already a rich man with 200,000 silver Deloupes, which made him feel very unreal.
More than half of this money is lying in Christine's space necklace, and the rest is saved by Henry, a businessman, and Henry, who has made a lot of war money, will not cheat him for this money.
Not wanting to be useless, Locke swung his hoe and continued to fight with the ground in front of him.
Speaking of Locke and Leah's marriage, both parties tried their best to avoid this issue, Locke didn't look down on girls in the same village, whether it was Xia Qian or Grace, or Angelina, she simply threw off different women many times.
What did Leah think, the two elders had some clues, but they didn't know how to persuade them, the conservative mining town couldn't accept the love affair between sisters and brothers, although in fact, the two were not brothers and sisters.
Locke, the guy who just drank a scoop of water handed over by Leah, didn't understand his sister's thoughts, or maybe he also understood, but he was just not sure.
Dancing with his hoe vigorously, Locke finished in one afternoon what old Locke could do in a week.
In the evening, Leah boiled a whole pot of mung bean soup for Locke to cool him down.
It could be that summer is just around the corner, and Locke has been irritable lately.
Locke is not a war maniac, he likes to enjoy life, and in the months away from the war, Locke has lived very comfortably, and the main reason for his irritability is because of the stagnation of strength.
In the past year, Locke's overall strength has been changing rapidly.
After cultivating Dou Qi, the successive impacts of Red Sea Flowers, Demonic Beast Flesh and Blood, and Johnson's Elixir made Locke's strength rise at an incredible speed like a roller coaster, and such a young low-level squire was rare in Faustin.
But now, although he didn't fall into a trough like a roller coaster, it also slowed down his cultivation progress to the extreme.
Speaking of diligence, Locke is not bad. He should be the most assiduous of the group of people who have cultivated and have a vindictive spirit in Kaidoqi.
Every day when Hans was still sleeping, he had already gotten up for morning exercises, but the effort was not proportional to the results, and Locke could only ensure that he did not regress.
Countless times when Locke wanted to take out that 'Will Condensation Potion', Angelina's admonition echoed in his ears. "You can only use it if you have reached the pinnacle of a low-level squire. ”
"Why?" Locke had asked.
"Because this is mainly for entry-level magicians to break through spiritual power, and using it in a hurry can only make you an idiot. Angelina said in a daze, it's not that she is alarmist, the spiritual power of an entry-level magic apprentice is not much worse than that of a low-level squire, Locke and Angelina have been together for so long, of course they have a deep understanding.
Since it is used for breakthroughs, of course, it can only be used when it reaches a certain peak, and Locke is currently only stable to the stage of a low-level squire, as for reaching the peak state, he estimated that it will take five years.
Five years, Locke finally knows why Captain Monte is still a low-level squire after so many years, if he only relies on his own cultivation, Locke will not want to touch a higher level in his life.
Locke was very envious of Knight Will's qualifications, compared to his own cultivation physique, Knight Will could be said to be a genius once in fifty years, a high-level squire at the age of forty, with the potential to impact a higher level.
June, the month of flowing fire.
In the hottest season of the year, the kingdom of Faustan finally has nectar for a long time.
It's not that it's raining in the kingdom, but that the surrounding situation, with the mediation of the O'Moore Empire, has stabilized again.
A letter of recognition from the O'Moore Empire regarding Faustin's conquest of the territory of Charlotte had already been delivered to the city of Flor last month.
The Omore Empire's envoys not only brought the legal land use rights belonging to the Faustan Kingdom, but also brought great deterrence to the surrounding countries.
The entourage of a knight allowed this envoy to suppress all the small groups around Faustin.
The surrounding countries either compromised or were oppressed, and gave up the idea of snatching a piece of fat from the mouth of the Kingdom of Faustin.
And in order to make the O'Moore empire support, Faustin also made a lot of concessions within the house.
