Locke, who suddenly rushed over, surprised Joaquin, but also thanked him from the heart, and a faint feeling of warmth filled Joaquin's heart.

"Thank you, Locke. As soon as Joakin's words were spoken, he saw that Locke had already gone to help Dinny and Bili with his sword.

The careful Joaquin also found that the action of Locke's left hand covering his chest was obviously caused by a fierce peck from Qing Bugu, who had just been held to die, and the reason for all this was to save her.

Packing up his mood, Joaquin went to Chris and Bob's warband, which was still too close to the forest of the Demon Condensation Fruit, and if the fight was too long, it would be a big problem to attract the green cuckoo flock.

Despite being slightly injured, the mid-level squire was still a mid-level squire, and these Qingbu Valley, which can only be called elites, had not yet escaped from the category of low-level demonic beasts, and soon, under the combined firepower of Bi Li and Daini, the large Qingbu Gu was killed by Locke who was close to him without suspense.

On the other side, with the help of Joaquin and Angelina's magic, the green cuckoo that Chris and others surrounded and killed was also killed.

"Let's go!" Joaquin waved his magic staff.

Two weeks later, on a certain road in the province of Ethelves, a convoy walked on it.

This is Joaquin and others who have come out of the saline forest.

"If you go back this time, you can be promoted to a low-level apprentice!" Mina said happily in the carriage.

Their task is to collect the Demon Condensation Fruit, but as a task item, according to the amount they collect this time, they only need to hand in up to half, and the rest can be divided by them.

Moreover, the academy will compensate them for the finished elixir refined from the magic condensate fruit as the main material, and the value is a few points higher than the magic condensation fruit itself.

Unlike Mina's excitement, Chris and Bob gasped and looked depressed.

This time there were not no injured people in the team, such as Chris and Bob, the two knights, were injured to varying degrees, most of the wounds were pecks and scratches, and from the outside, the body was full of blood, which looked quite scary.

Locke was also slightly injured, he was pecked in the chest and lungs in order to save Joaquin, the wound was not deep, but he was not suitable for strenuous exercise in a short time.

None of the magician ladies were injured, and the fact that they were able to achieve this result only showed that several knights in the team were very conscientious and protected them quite well.

"This time I go back, I'll exchange the magic coagulation potion for a few crimson potions for you!"

The magic condensation potion is the magic condensation fruit as the main material, and the refining has a boosting effect on the magic power of the magician, for the knights who cultivate the fighting spirit, the magic condensation elixir has little effect on them, and the magic power and the fighting spirit are two completely different cultivation systems.

Crimson potions have a boosting effect on low- and middle-level knights, and knight potions, because of the high cost of materials used, are rarely sold on the market, so Joaquin said to exchange, not buy.

For money-burning things like potions, most of them are still magicians, even if they are noble knights, no matter how rich they are in the family, they can't afford their accumulated expenses.

Because the mage is stronger and can also be used as a potion producer, it is the mainstream of the drug army.

Hearing Joaquin's promise, Rock was fine, and Chris and Bob were much more excited.

When it comes to the degree of cherishing of the Crimson Elixir, it is not much worse than the Magic Condensation Elixir, as long as Qiao Jin can give each of them a Crimson Enchantress, it will be enough to offset their efforts to complete the task this time.

Seeing the excitement of Chris and Bob, Joaquin was a lot relieved, the formation of the team not only needs the bonds of emotional friendship, but also the maintenance of interests, and there are not many crimson potions left in her family, and they happened to be taken out this time.

However, Locke's reaction made Joaquin a little puzzled.

On the palm of Locke's hand, there are two pieces of green cuckoo feathers at this time, although they are only feathers, but in terms of sharpness and hardness, they are no worse than ordinary blades.

No wonder he can resist the attacks of several magicians, even he, a middle-level squire, it takes a lot of strength to break the defense.

Locke considered whether they could be used to make weapons such as hidden weapons or daggers.

His dagger has been following him for seven or eight years, when he was an ordinary soldier, it was okay to use, but now it can't keep up with his use, not to mention the middle and low-level demonic beasts, it is a demonic creature, and it is quite difficult to cut, if it collapses, Locke will feel distressed for a while.

This dagger does not represent Locke's combat power, but a kind of sustenance for him.

"Angelina, can you incorporate these feathers into my dagger?" asked Locke, who was leaning over his shoulder reading a book.

"I'll see. Angelina put down the brown spellbook in her hand and took the cyan feather from Locke's hand.

After studying for a while, Angelina said, "I can't do it for the time being, the material is relatively easy to melt, but the wind magic of Qingbu Valley, I can't coexist with the metal element at the moment." ”

If it was just to strengthen the dagger's sturdiness and incorporate the feathers of the green cuckoo, not to mention Angelina, even an ordinary blacksmith could do it, but how could a magician be compared to a blacksmith.

Angelina considered combining the wind magic in the green cuckoo feather with the metal element of the dagger, not only the sharpness can be improved, but the dagger that blesses the wind magic will also have unexpected benefits.

At that time, the short dagger was not as simple as an ordinary dagger, but could be used as a magical equipment.

Locke didn't expect to make a dagger into a magic dagger, and when Angelina said this, he was stunned for a moment.

"I can help you!" Joaquin said suddenly, interrupting Locke's thoughts.

"Huh?" Locke looked at Joaquin in front of him, there was not much space in the carriage, everyone was relatively compact, and Locke looked up and could directly see Joaquin's tight figure under his red robe.

"My father happens to know an alchemist and can help you this time. Joaquin said with a stroke of his hair.

"That's not good. Locke hesitated, the alchemy master that Joagin said must not be a beginner like Angelina, most of them are alchemists who have been famous for a long time, and it takes a lot of money to invite this kind of character every time he makes a move, and Locke doesn't want to trouble Joaquin.

"It's okay, that uncle is also my uncle, this little favor can still help. Joaquin said nonchalantly.

"That... I'm sorry for you. Locke took out his dagger and solemnly handed it to Joaquin.

Joaquin, who took the dagger, pulled the dagger out of the scabbard in curiosity, but he didn't expect the scabbard to be a delicate dagger, but the dagger itself was so simple, this was basically a piece of iron wrapped around a layer of cloth, Joaquin thought in surprise.

However, Joaquin didn't ask much, seeing that Locke attached so much importance to it, and knew that Locke had a deep affection for this dagger.

"As compensation, I don't want the Crimson Elixir. Locke didn't think about it and said directly to Joagin, a dagger demonized by the alchemy room is worth more precious than the crimson potion, how can Locke get an inch.

Joaquin thought about it for a while, looked at the people around him, and nodded, "Okay then." ”

This mission can be said to be a happy one, everyone got what they wanted, and there was no serious injury like last time, this result is simply too good for Joaquin, who is the captain.

Looking at the happy crowd in the team, Joaquin's mind couldn't help relaxing, and his eyes swept casually, seeing Locke and Angelina sitting in the corner of the carriage.

At sunset, Angelina leaned on Locke's shoulder, holding a thick brown magic book and looking at it seriously, while Locke was still pinching the feathers of the green cuckoo in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

Somehow, Joaquin suddenly felt a little jealous, a little jealous of Angelina, who was cared for by Locke. She remembered the strong arm that caught her that night when she fell down the trunk of the tree, and the figure in front of her when Qingbugu rushed towards her.

A week later, the crowd returned to Princeton.

Princeton in June has just escaped the cool spring season, but the hot summer has not yet arrived, and in previous years, July and August are the hottest time for Princeton.

After saying goodbye to the group, Locke and Angelina returned home.

"You can enjoy a month of leisure!" said Locke, stretching out and smiling.

"Not going on a mission?" asked Angelina, who used to rest for more than ten days before setting off to complete the next mission.

"Well, I told that guy in Bend, I will take the blood essence in July. Locke nodded in reply.

Angelina had also heard Locke tell her about the war to suppress the rebellion that took place in the kingdom of Ostarlet, and she knew that Bender was a friend that Locke had met during that mission.

"Be careful on the road when the time comes. Angelina advised, although she didn't know exactly how to get blood essence, but that level of things was not so easy to get.

"Don't worry. Locke gave Angelina a hearty smile.

It seemed that Locke's laughter was heard, and a coquettish shout came from the mansion, "Is my brother back?"

After a while, Christine dragged Raffi out of the gate, followed by Grace, Shassi, and Leah.

"yes, little Christine's ears are so sharp!" Locke stepped forward and picked up Christine, gently tugging Christine's ear.

"Oops, it's itchy!" Christine laughed in Locke's arms, not recognizing it at all.

Angelina has always talked to these women of Locke much, but today it was rare to complete the task and go home, and even greeted everyone with a smile, and finally took Locke's sister Leah's hand and walked into the house.

Among these women, Locke's sister Leah can say a few words to Angelina, Angelina, a smart woman, didn't feel the other feelings of Locke and Leah at all, but treated Leah completely as her sister.

Locke and the girls laughed and walked into the house.
