Chapter 145 A New Journey
Playing until the afternoon, Angelina took Locke with her when she saw that her mentor was about to return to the Magic Tower.
Every magician has quirks of one kind or another, and Angelina's mentor is the kind of character who doesn't want to be disturbed by others.
This trip was not for nothing, in addition to taking a few pieces of 'fluorite', Angelina stuffed Locke with an ink-colored cane.
"A good thing that can instantly send two fireball techniques~" Angelina smiled, this is one of his mentor's works, although it is a disposable, but converted to Dele, at least more than 100 gold, and there is no market.
Carrying it in his pocket, Locke didn't know the value of the staff, he had seen the power of the fireball spell once, it was issued by a low-level magic apprentice in the city of France, and it gave him a great shock at the time, he thought that this fireball spell was also this destructive power.
However, no, the gap between a pinnacle-level magic apprentice and a low-level magic apprentice is like a chasm, the same magic, the former may cause 100 damage, and the latter 10.
The affairs of the family are almost arranged by Locke these days, there are enough attendants and maids, spacious real estate, carriages for travel, and 700 Kindler, old Locke and Tia don't say five years, even the rest of their lives are enough for them.
The address of Locke's new home was also communicated to some acquaintances, and Viscount Melson, Viscount Kaidozi, Sir Will, and several noble knights whom he knew had visited the house several times.
The most honorable of these was Viscount Melson's uncle, George the commander of Locke's Second Corps.
Count George is not a nobleman who came from the previous batches, others don't know, can he not know the preciousness of this property, if he remembers correctly, this is one of Angelina's several properties in the royal capital.
It seems that the relationship between the princess and this kid is a little better than imagined, George thought quietly, he didn't tell anyone these words, and was ready to rot in his stomach.
The successive visits of the nobles really flattered Old Locke and Tia, looking at the big people who had never dared to think of it in the past, sitting in front of him, chatting with himself kindly, Old Locke felt that he was dreaming.
"I'm going to learn a little bit of aristocratic etiquette. "One day after dinner, old Locke seemed to have made up his mind, and suddenly said.
"I'm for you!" Tia chimed in, not only did old Locke have to learn, but she also had to understand something, and she couldn't embarrass her son.
"I'll take care of that. Locke, who was sitting next to Leah, munched on the steak and said that he was going to trouble Sir Mobi-san.
As the date of departure drew closer, the Locke family was still as harmonious as no one else, and only they knew how much pressure and pain they were under.
In the palace of Faustin, the king's family was having dinner in the side hall.
The king was in high office, followed by the Princess of Kent and his concubines, Prince Kensale sat on the right-hand side closest to the king, Angelina on the left-hand side, and then the king's other children.
The dinner at the King's house was the equivalent of a meeting, and everyone was so engrossed in dealing with the food on their plates that there was no noise at all.
King Faustan swallowed the last piece of salad on his plate, put down his silver knife and fork, and the attendant next to him handed him a napkin.
While wiping his mouth, the king finally uttered the first sentence. "How's the stuff going?"
Everyone stopped their movements and listened quietly, and everyone knew that the king was asking Angelina.
"It's been ready for a long time!" Angelina was not as reserved as her brothers and sisters, and beckoned the maid to bring her a bowl of mouthwash soup, and after rinsing her mouth, she replied generously and squarely.
"That's good. The king nodded, Angelina is his favorite daughter, this time it is helpless to be sent to the Omore Empire as a 'proton', fortunately, there are only five years, and their father and daughter will meet soon.
"How about I send a group of elite cavalry escorts from the Lion Legion?" said Prince Kensale, who cared about his sister as much as the king.
"No!" Angelina refused, "It's not going to war, it's enough to have a team of Praetorian Guards and two teams of Secret Guards." ”
The king didn't speak, he also felt that the escort force was enough, the way to the Omoor Empire was long, and there were several kingdoms passing along the way, and if a regular army like the Lion Legion was sent to escort it, it would inevitably make other countries suspicious.
Faustin has been in the limelight too much in recent years, and now he needs to recuperate.
The father and daughter talk warmly about Angelina's imminent departure, while the rest of the princess and prince in the dining room are like strangers to them.
Princess Kent was also one of them, and her expression was embarrassed at this time.
"Do you want me to ask my brother to send a detachment of light cavalry to escort Angelina?" finally interjected Princess Kent.
The conversation between the three stopped instantly, King Faustin's expression was calm, and he couldn't see anything, Angelina politely refused, "Uncle Kent should be very busy, and his light cavalry is better off staying in the Likia Alliance." ”
At present, the Likia Alliance seems to have some friction with the Kingdom of Jose, and the Marquis of Kent, one of the great lords, is now in a hurry.
Prince Kensel snorted coldly without a good temper, and did not reply to Princess Kent's proposal.
A good dinner ends in this strange atmosphere.
Tomorrow is the time to leave, and in the evening, Locke is tidying up his clothes in his bedroom, and there is nothing to tidy up, and Xia Qian helps him prepare it early.
Since moving to this villa, Locke has not lived with his sister Leah, who has her own room.
The son has been out for so many years, and the old Locke and Tia have been worried for a long time, and now the old couple are staying in Leah's room, especially Tia, who is chattering to pack Leah's luggage at this time.
"Take care of yourself when you go so far. ”
"Yes. ”
"Although you are an older sister, you listen to your brother in major matters, he travels from south to north and has seen more than you. ”
"Yes. ”
"Don't worry about the family, your father and I are fine. ”
"Yes. ”
。。。。。。
The mother and daughter said one and the other listened, and as they spoke, tears rolled down.
Old Locke couldn't stand this parting atmosphere the most, and after staying in his daughter's house for a while, he went out and sat at the door, took out the smoking gun, and smoked it silently.
Locke came out at some point, stood beside old Locke, and skillfully lit the old Locke with flint.
Unlike Tia and Leah, who wept sadly when they parted, their father and son just sat quietly together, not knowing what to think.
"When you were a child, I also took you to see the maple leaves in the village. Old Locke puffed out a smoke ring.
"Yes. ”
The father and son fell silent again, and Locke had a lot to say, but when it came to his lips, he didn't know what to say.
Accompanied by his father to smoke a whole small bag of tobacco, Locke was about to leave to see his mother Tia when old Locke suddenly grabbed his hand.
The old and thin old Locke's eyes widened at this time, and he spit out a sentence to Locke very solemnly, "Be good to your sister!", and got up to leave.
Locke was left standing alone, unable to calm down for a long time.
On the last day of August, the sky in Odis City was a little overcast.
While the rest of the city had thought it was an ordinary day with a light rain, a large group of envoys had gathered on a hillside outside the city, numbering about two hundred.
Standing at the head of the convoy was, of course, our great King Faustin, who was now dressed in civilian clothes and overcoats, tirelessly admonishing Angelina, who was about to travel.
Standing beside him was Prince Kensel, who was a little more steady than his father, who had to say what he had to say, what he had to offer, all that had been provided before, and Prince Kensel could only wish his sister a safe journey.
In the center of the convoy, old Locke and Tia were also among the send-offs, and the old couple were red-eyed, but they didn't say anything sad.
As the sun passed noon, a light rain fell in the sky, and the envoys slowly advanced amid the farewell of their relatives.
Riding on his horse, looking back and waving like a smaller and smaller relative, Locke embarked on a new journey.
