Chapter 400 Difficult Decisions
Half a year later, in a small forest outside the city of Flor.
Carrying a half-ton sawtooth boar on his back, Locke, wearing only leather armor, walked out slowly.
No wonder so many high-ranking squires and would-be knights are stuck in front of the official knights.
Half a year of cultivation has made Locke understand that only actual combat is the right way to break through for himself.
Thinking of the cases where he didn't work hard to cultivate with Angelina last year, but there were still obvious improvements, Locke made up his mind in his heart.
"Brother, aunt is calling you home for dinner!" shouted Christine, dressed in orange, running out of the woods.
A few months ago, Christine broke through to the intermediate magic apprenticeship, and under the guidance of Angelina and Grace, two seniors, she quickly learned a variety of practical magic that the intermediate apprentice could master.
The 'Wind Technique' is combined with the 'Light Body Technique', supplemented by Christine's mid-level attendant-level strength, and now the speed of the wheel is fast and slow, and even Locke is difficult to catch this girl.
It is precisely for this reason that Grace gives Christine the task of calling Locke home every day.
From the Prince's Mansion in Flor City to the secluded woods outside the city, such a long way, the little girl runs every day.
"Today Rafite made snake soup, brother, let's go back and eat it quickly. As soon as Christine saw Locke, she ran up and pulled her.
"Well, wait until I break down this prey. Locke said.
With the size of a sawtooth boar, Locke's space ring can't fit it, but Locke's space ring is enough, just dismember it into several pieces.
The life level of this jagged boar is already about to reach the demonized creature, if Locke hadn't slaughtered it and let it grow for a few more years, maybe there would be another demonized creature outside Flor City that would harm one more party.
Just in time to go back and make soup for his parents, Locke thought.
At today's dinner table, there are Christine, a pistachio, and Xia Qian, a person who can adjust the atmosphere, who is as active as ever.
Christine had just finished showing Locke a piece of jewelry she had found in a shop in the city, and then Leah told him something that made Locke worry about it.
"I went home today to see it, my father's last infection of the wind and cold has not recovered, and my mother's back pain has recurred. As she spoke, Leah's eyes turned red.
"Isn't the doctor in the palace getting better?" asked Angelina with concern.
"Nope. Leah wiped away her tears.
The dinner that had been pleasant was instantly silent.
In this world, doctors are not as professional as magicians in saving people, Leah herself is a middle-level apprentice, she doesn't have a good way to deal with her parents' illness, and what tricks can those court doctors have.
In fact, this is not a disease, but a series of hidden dangers caused by the exhaustion of life.
Last year, the second elder was fine, and Locke personally entered the dou qi to check, although there were a lot of small problems, but there was no warning of a major illness.
The hard work of youth had such an impact on old Locke and Tia that in old age, they suddenly collapsed without warning.
At this time, everyone was not in the mood to eat, and Angelina greeted Locke, and then pulled Leah to the courtyard where Old Locke lived.
Angelina is Locke's only nominal wife, and at this time, as a daughter-in-law, she must go to see old Locke and Tia.
They were followed by two daughters, Christine and Xia Qian.
Locke sat in his seat, depressed to the extreme.
"Or you can go, I've got your back!" Grace sat next to Locke and placed her hand in Locke's palm.
Among these women, who knows Locke best, it is not Angelina, who is closest to him, nor Leah, who grew up together, but Grace, a smart woman.
Her cleverness is not only reflected in her high understanding of magic learning, but also in the prince's mansion, she gets along with Angelina, the hostess, and has a very high voice among the women, which shows Grace's exquisite heart.
"But, I'm worried ... As soon as Locke opened his mouth, Grace blocked Locke's next words.
"There's nothing to worry about, you should think more about your parents and Xia Qian, right?" Grace said calmly to Locke, wrapping her arms around her, "Besides, we can take care of ourselves." ”
After pondering for a long time, the candles lit in the living room, and the dancing flames, Locke finally made his decision.
The next day, Locke spoke his mind to the crowd.
"What, where?" asked Angelina, surprised.
"We've already traveled a lot of places in the Mysia Continent, I want to go to the other two continents, if I can go to the center of our world, the Wizard Continent would be even better. Locke said.
On the continent of Misia, only the natives of the three western islands would say so, and from the perspective of the powerhouses with a broader vision outside, this is just an island.
In terms of area proportion, the sum of the three continents of the three western islands is less than one-tenth of the overall area of the wizarding continent at the center of the world.
"I'll go with you!" said Angelina, without thinking.
"No, I can't. Locke shook his head, "It's too hard for you to make progress without the Holy Tower here. ”
Magicians pay attention to learning and the accumulation of knowledge, and following Locke to travel and wander, it is true that the knowledge will be a lot broader, but for the most important knowledge of magicians, it can be predicted that there will be little gain.
The inheritance of knowledge is private and inherited, and Angelina, who has no roots in other regions, has a lot of difficulty in obtaining the corresponding knowledge.
That night, Angelina lost her temper with Locke for the first time.
Ignoring Locke's call, he ran back to the room alone.
The comfort of the women did not have a very good effect, too, they had just settled down for less than a year, and they had to separate, and no one could stand it.
Parting meant a better reunion, Locke's mind was clear, he knew what he was doing, and he had a reason why he had to do it.
Old Locke, Tia, and Xia Qian are all ordinary people, they don't have too high a life level, and they don't even have a cultivation physique, which makes their life expectancy destined to be like ordinary people.
Angelina's father, the majestic old king, with the strength of the high-ranking squire of his youth, only lived for sixty years until his death, which really weighed on a huge stone in Locke's heart.
He didn't want his parents to die like this, and he didn't want Xia Qian to die so early.
In recent months, Xia Qian has rarely slept with Locke.
The older Xia Qian gets, the more her body can't withstand the conquest of Locke's demonic beast-like physique.
Although he didn't say it, Locke could still feel the sadness in Xia Qian's heart.
Xia Qian, who is already thirty-five years old, even if she is covered by various beauty products and the nourishment of the amazing activation essence that Locke brought back, her aging physique is really there.
Human beings in this world generally have a short lifespan, and in addition to the extremely poor level of medical and health care, the ubiquitous active energy molecules in the air also play some unknown roles.
Locke, who is a quasi-knight, is not in a hurry about his lifespan, and Angelina, Grace and other women who learn magic and have magic power are not in a hurry, and they can easily live to be seventy or eighty years old according to their current strength and physical fitness.
But Locke also had to think about others.
The quasi-knight faces the eternal problem of the end of his life, which runs through the life of mankind, and there is no solution to it.
If you break through to the official knight level, if you go to a wider world, why can first-class knights and magicians live for hundreds of years, and what is the mystery in this.
This is what Locke desperately wanted to know.
The short time of family reunion and the warm family atmosphere did not paralyze Locke's heart, and if he wanted not to be entangled in worldly trivialities, Locke also needed a more arduous and protracted struggle.
The next day, after Angelina adjusted her emotions, she found Locke and only asked "When are you leaving?"
Locke was about to say a month later, but when he saw Angelina's tear-stained cheeks, he changed his words and said, "Two months later." ”
Locke finally decided to spend a little more time with his family, just two months after returning to Faustin last winter.
A year is too short, so short that no one notices the passage of time.
Locke felt that he owed Grace and other women the most, and he couldn't get along with them during the plane war, and after two months, he had to leave again.
Xia Qian and Grace are the oldest of the girls, and the older ones are a little more mature than Angelina.
They had nothing but support for Locke's decision.
Leah has watched Locke grow up since she was a child, she will not stop her brother's progress, and since becoming Locke's woman, she has to catch up with Locke's pace.
"With me watching my parents at home, you can go with confidence. Leah stood on tiptoe and kissed Locke lightly on the cheek. With a thin face, this is the first time she has made intimate gestures to Locke in front of others.
Angelina's IQ and EQ are also very high, and a night of adjustment made this woman who was desperate for Locke quickly change back to her original appearance.
In the evening, resting on Locke's arm, Angelina said, "I may be able to take Grace and her sisters to study in the Holy Tower." ”
"Is that okay?" Locke asked in surprise, as far as he knew, the Holy Tower only accepted mid-level apprentices and young high-level apprentices with extraordinary potential.
"In the plane war, there are quite a few magic apprentices who have died, and the Holy Tower will definitely expand its enrollment in recent years. Angelina spoke her mind.
"I really can't do it, so I'll go to the magician Ashar for help. Locke told him that if Grace and the other women could go to the Holy Tower to practice, then he could be very relieved.
"Don't worry, I don't think I need Asshar Magician, just my mentor's face is enough. Angelina sneered.
Locke patted his head and quickly reacted, it is true that in terms of face inside the Holy Tower, Master Kayla is the real thigh, who can ignore the strong senior brother behind her.
