In the end, Locke rejected Nicholas's offer, believing that Nicholas would not harm him, and that it should be no problem to enter the Dark Mage's territory to protect himself with his own strength.

The main reason for Locke's refusal was that he hadn't forgotten what he had come to the Belém Empire for.

After another four months stationed in the Cangyan Bone Plane, cleaning up the remaining bone creatures, Locke harvested a handful of bone fragment essence with strong death attributes, and left this low-level plane that had just been taken down by the wizarding world.

All the creatures above the fourth level in the plane were killed in battle, and the other second- and third-level creatures were overwhelmed, and the Cangyan Skeleton Plane had truly fallen into the hands of the Belen Empire, and the greatest value of the future existence and development of this plane was to provide a steady stream of bone creatures cannon fodder for the army of the Belen Empire.

I thought that I would stay in the Cangyan Skeleton Plane for four or five years, but it was only a year and a half, and Locke left here, the army of the Belen Empire left a deep impression on Locke, the neat military formation and unified standard equipment, coupled with the knights whose strength is above the first level, no wonder Belen will be called the first military power in the main continent.

The Dark Tower, the meeting room of the demigod Master Runo, and Locke, who came to visit again, brought some gifts this time.

A high-quality flame and a bone fragment that shimmered with a silver light were two of Locke's most precious gains on the Flame Bone Plane.

With Runo's demigod-level strength, as well as the power and status he has in the Belen Empire, he must not be able to look down on Locke.

Locke didn't really want to bribe Runo or anything, he was just expressing a heart, a junior's little care for his elders.

"It's good, I'll take it. "Runo still has something in common with Jos in that he is usually reticent and rarely takes the initiative to communicate with others, but everything he says has an extra layer of meaning that needs to be thought-provoking.

The acceptance of the flame and the death bone fragment marked that Runo truly regarded Locke as his own.

"The army that promised Jos is already being raised, but it will take some time. Runo said.

"No hurry, there are still three and a half years to go. Locke said hurriedly.

Master Michelle gave him plenty of time, presumably taking into account some of the uncontrollable factors.

"The deployment of light and heavy cavalry has been determined, and the only thing to wait for now is the arrival of the Dragoon Legion, and now General Glenn's Dragoon Legion is fighting in a low-level plane, and it may take half a year to a year to return. Runo said.

In order to help his friend, Runo asked Prince Leon for a dragon knight brigade.

As the most powerful combat force in the empire, the Dragoon Legion is in the Belen Empire, and only four people can be directly dispatched to fight in the Belen Empire: Solar Glenn, Moonstone Volta, Emperor Sephir and the Great Prince Leon.

Runo's reply to Locke was to wait quietly, and when leaving the Dark Tower, Runo also praised Locke's performance in the Flame Bone Plane.

With the state of just being promoted to the third level, he killed four skeleton creatures in the plane war, whether Locke was killed by strength or cooperated with others, this record alone was enough for Runo to nod in affirmation.

After leaving the Tower of Darkness, Locke took Christine and Rafite's two daughters to visit and live in Belém's imperial capital, Curren.

As the imperial capital of the first military power in the main continent, Curren showed its iron blood and majesty to Locke and other outsiders in all aspects.

In the north-central part of Currenle is the location of the Royal Palace, which is off-limits throughout the city.

Like Princeton, Curlor also has a warning flight, including a third-class powerhouse.

Even in some rumors, even a fourth-level powerhouse could not fly over Koren at will, because it would be regarded as a provocation to the imperial power of the Belen Empire.

After two days with the second daughter in Curron, Locke then searched for the address given to him by Nicholas, and stopped by to see the friend he had met in the Cangyan Bone Plane.

As a powerful third-level celestial knight, and the captain of the Obsidian Legion, the main battle legion of the Belém Empire, Nicholas is barely an upper-class person in the imperial capital of Collend, and he even has the title of an earl.

"I'm a friend of Nicholas, and when you tell me about it, you say that Locke has come to see him. Locke said to the man who opened the door.

Being able to serve in the Earl's Palace, this person is definitely not a fool, not to mention the vague and domineering aura shown by Locke, just Christine and Rafi beside him, this honest subordinate, feels similar to the coercion of several housewives in the family.

Locke was respectfully welcomed into the house, and the man hurried to call his master.

Nicholas's Earl's Palace, in terms of floor area, is not as good as Locke's Marquis Fu in the Western Three Islands, but in terms of inner luxury and nobility, it has to crush Locke by several levels.

"I didn't expect this bald guy to have a lot of taste", Locke touched a porcelain vase in the hall and smashed his mouth, by observing the fine lines on the vase, Locke found that this seemed to be what Angelina once told him, a product of the Renaissance in the wizarding world.

Just such a thing is worth an intermediate energy crystal, a property that ordinary people can't earn in a lifetime.

"Brother Locke, don't come and say a word to me!" Nicholas's hearty smile soon came.

Before leaving the Cangyan Skeleton Position, Nicholas and Locke had exchanged communication methods for knightly medals, and if Locke had greeted him in advance, Nicholas would have held a grand banquet for him.

The aristocracy liked to do this, and with the growth of Locke's strength and experience, Locke began to gradually integrate into the aristocratic class.

With the arrival of friends, Nicholas is of course enthusiastic hospitality in all aspects, Locke has fought side by side with him several times in the Cangyan Skeleton Plane, and with Locke's considerable strength, Nicholas has made Locke a friend.

The dinner party at the Earl's Court was soon opened by the maids, and what surprised Locke at the dinner was not the several precious ingredients and collected works of art that Nicholas had brought out, but the guy's wife.

There were twenty-one in total, and seven of them were female knights above the first level.

Locke, the sorceress, didn't see it, thinking that with the arrogance of the sorceresses, she wouldn't look down on Nicholas, a middle-aged man with a reflective brain.

"You guy, it's not shallow!" Locke said with a tasteless mouth, he was only a few women, and this Nicholas couldn't be compared at all.

"Hey, hey. Nicholas just laughed.
