Chapter 461: New Year
Princeton in winter has a touch of quiet beauty, and the imperial capital, which has been noisy all year round, ushered in its short leisure.
Merchants from all over the world returned home to accompany their wives and children, and residents of the imperial capital also retreated to their homes to cook a pot of hot broth to celebrate the upcoming New Year.
There are fewer people on the streets, but the popularity of the entire imperial capital has not decreased much.
Deep in the interior of the O'Moore Empire, Princeton was less affected by the monsoons, with the vast hills to the west and the steep mountains to the south to shelter the most violent winds.
At this time, the Baikal Lakes in the northeast also collected their nets for the last fishing season of the year, bringing rich and delicious food to the tables of the people of the imperial capital.
Two months have passed since the last mission was completed, and in the past two months, Locke has not been in a hurry to receive any more tasks, but has completely stabilized the breakthrough realm at home.
After being promoted to a formal knight, there is no distinction between low-level, middle-level, and high-level in the conventional sense, and the first level is the first level, and the strength and weakness under the same rank depend on the knight's cultivation of exercises, armor weapons, and experience.
An old knight who has been promoted to a first-class knight for decades will definitely not underestimate a knight who has just been promoted to the first level, and the knights who have just been promoted to the first level will not be arrogant, as long as the opponent is not a second-level knight, which is stronger or weaker still needs to be passed.
In other words, if Locke still wants to continue to improve his strength at the moment, it is no longer very useful to accumulate the total amount of fighting qi through cultivation, what he needs is to go out to see the world and understand the field that the official knights are crisscrossing.
According to incomplete statistics, the number of official knights in the three western islands is 120,000, and the average number of official knights in the Mycia continent is at least 40,000.
With a population base of billions, the generation rate of 40,000 first-level creatures is not low, and Locke has grown up so far, and he can be regarded as traveling from south to north, and has taken the Mycia continent to a large number, especially within the Omore Empire and the Faustan Kingdom.
But there are only a handful of powerhouses above the first level that he has seen, in addition to the factor that the powerhouses above the first level stipulated by the Holy Tower and the Knight Hall are not allowed to interfere with the growth and life of creatures below the first level, there is also a part of the main reason that those first-level powerhouses in the three western islands tend to go out and go outside the plane.
If it weren't for the suppression and hostility of the East Coast to the three western islands, if it weren't for the fact that the West Coast is a famous bitter cold place in the wizarding world, it would be a good choice to travel in this plane.
The huge tolerance and carrying capacity of the plane, as well as the complex composition of rules, are enough for the little ones of the first and second levels to explore all their lives.
The wizarding world is one of the top medium-sized worlds in the surrounding planes!
The wizarding world, which has several sixth-level powerhouses and an even greater number of fifth- and fourth-level powerhouses, has put heavy pressure on countless surrounding planes.
All the miniature natives who know this powerful neighbor try their best to hide their plane coordinates, and the powerful gravitational fluctuations of the lower planes themselves make them hide, surrender or destroy, which is the main theme of the plane war.
As for the intermediate plane, hehe, the wizarding world has already destroyed the three medium-sized worlds within the range of their own detection, don't look at everyone in the middle plane, but sometimes the gap between the planes is even more desperate.
In order to avoid these opponents of the same level who may grow into threats and disadvantage themselves, the wizarding world can only strike first, and the closest world war between the intermediate planes in modern times,
It was 6,500 years ago, so old that the first- and second-level creatures at the bottom could not be verified.
You must know that the founding history of the Omore Empire is only 2,800 years, while the Kingdom of Faustin is even shorter, with only 700 years.
"Apply for an Alternate Plane Mission?" Locke thought to himself in the courtyard of his home, touching his chin as he was planning for the future, and being a knight was not his destination.
What kept him up his mind was that the duration of any Alien Mission would start at three years and go up to five to ten years.
It's not that the tasks that the knights need to complete are all that long, but the energy crystals consumed by each spatial teleportation are an astronomical amount, especially the teleportation of the heterogeneous plane.
At present, the public first-level powerhouses of the three western islands are all sent to various places through the portals of the Knight Hall and the Holy Tower, and then come back after completing the task.
There are only second- and third-level powerhouses who are rich in value and scarce in number, and they can have no scruples and spend a lot of money to transfer directly through the teleportation array, without having to 'queue' with them at the first level.
For three to five years, Locke couldn't rest assured that his family, family affection and love were wonderful memories of the life of the creatures who had just been promoted to the first level.
With a lifespan of more than two hundred years, the first-class knights looked back at half of their lives and found that most of the relatives and lovers who grew up with them had disappeared in the long river of history.
(The first-level magicians are even more miserable, their theoretical lifespan is more than five hundred years, and the magicians' personalities are known for being withdrawn and weird, which is caused by the lack of family affection and the warmth of love in the course of life.) )
It is only after experiencing the pain of losing loved ones and loved ones that the first-class knights will work hard, motivate themselves, and move towards higher levels.
The most intuitive evidence is that the peak period for a first-level knight to break through to a second-level earth knight is between one hundred and twenty years old and one hundred and eighty years old.
Five years is really too long, and Locke plans to go to Santa next summer to see Angelina, Grace and other women.
Putting aside the idea of performing tasks on the heterotopic plane for the time being, Locke counted carefully and found that there were still two ways to improve his strength, one was to replace the Dou Qi Gong method, and in the trading hall inside the knight's hall, Locke knew several good exercises that were suitable for him.
The second is to update the equipment, this is a money-burning job, suitable for the weapons and armor used by the official knights, which can not be created in the secular blacksmith shop, and must find specialized talents, if it is the alchemy master of the Holy Tower, it will be even better.
In fact, there is half a way, that is, to learn a combat skill, but the combat skill is the same as the unique exercise, the bloodline and inheritance are very strong, and the ones sold in the market are all rotten street goods, and the real good things never flow out.
Instead of hoping for a powerful combat skill, it is better to honestly hone your combat skills, what suits you is the best, every official knight is a martial arts master, and you don't necessarily have to learn from others.
"Hey, let's go to the Knight's Hall in a while. The more I thought about it, the more clueless I became, and Locke simply didn't want to.
At this moment, Rafi's voice came, "Locke, let's go out for a walk tomorrow." ”
Tomorrow is the New Year, a festival that no matter which country, region, or people attach great importance to.
"Okay. Locke replied.
Accepting Rafite's plea, Locke followed her for a day browsing the famous Waltz Avenue in the western part of Princeton, buying small and interesting things.
In Locke's impression, Raffi has always been a hard-working little maid, and after becoming Locke's woman, the little girl has grown a lot, and with the temperament of a silk hostess, Locke is also happy to see this change.
The invitation of the beloved woman, of course, could not be refused, Locke and Lafite were like an ordinary couple on the streets of Princeton, the imperial capital, watching at will in the direction of the crowd.
This New Year is the most comfortable Locke has spent in recent years, and it would be nice if Angelina and the others were there.
After the New Year, Locke went on a trip to the knight's hall.
This guy Sith is really miserable, he can't go home for the New Year, and he was left in the branch hall to guard.
After saying hello to the hapless fellow, Locke went to the area where the official knights were.
"Hey, Brother Locke!" a loud voice came from Hals as he walked through the rest area.
Locke stopped and turned his head to look, "Hals, aren't you coming home?"
"Come home, this is my home. Hals, who was walking towards him, glanced at his mouth, don't look at him as a middle-aged strong man, he is actually twenty or thirty years older than Locke, and the concept of 'home' is lighter.
This is the common denominator of the growth of mages and knights.
"I want to learn a combat skill, do you have any suggestions?" Locke said bluntly.
"Combat skills...... It's not a good thing. Hals scratched his head.
Knights pay attention to blood, magicians pay attention to teachers, and every newly created combat skill and magic, as an inventor, will never be taught to anyone other than his own relatives and disciples.
The knight's hall has been inherited for thousands of years, and excellent combat skills definitely exist, even if some combat skills are thrown out for sale, the price to be paid is not acceptable to ordinary people.
"I believe that you can't look down on those combat skills below the first level......" Hals said as he thought.
Locke nodded, the combat skills of the knight squire stage, Locke had come into contact with some in the squire stage, most of them gave him the feeling of flashiness, some of them were really good, but they were not suitable for him to use.
After all, it is not tailor-made, and the inventor of combat skills is, of course, based on his own standards.
This also led to Locke not learning a single combat skill before he became a formal knight, because those combat skills were useless to him, and it was better to use the set of skills he had honed for more than ten years.
"The two combat skills that have been hanging on the trading floor recently are good, I can take them to you to see, if not, I can only try my luck in the shopping street." Hals said.
"Okay, then I'll go to the trading floor. Locke said.
"I'm with you. Hals followed, and with his many years of experience in seeing people, this knight named Locke must be a master who is not bad for money, and it is absolutely right to deal with this kind of person.
Don't think that the official knights are not short of money, the higher the platform and the wider channels, the speed at which the official knights spend money is staggering.
High-grade energy crystals for cultivation, maintenance of weapons and equipment, necessary expenses for performing tasks, and recovery potions that can have an effect on first-level creatures......
Don't talk about others, just talk about Hals, his life is tight.

PS: As for the explanation of the difference in lifespan between first-level knights and mages, I will mention later, including what their theoretical lifespan is after being promoted to second-level and third-level levels. (https:)
