Locke is very interested in the way Hals said that he can make a fortune, this kind of knight who has been promoted to the first level for decades, without much background and power, can maintain a steady increase in strength, and the resources required are astronomical.

Hals's situation Locke is generally clear, born in the Kingdom of Franza, which is located in the northern snowfields of the Mycia continent, and is a powerful marquis in the Kingdom of Franza.

But let's not forget that Franza's population of only a few hundred thousand, and the country's poor living conditions, have severely stifled the country's economic development, and it is predictable how little help Hals will get from his home country.

Moreover, it is a country where seven first-class powerhouses are born in contemporary times, so it is no wonder that Hals and his brothers from the Franza Kingdom will be stationed in Princeton all year round to carry out missions.

"You can find several families within the empire to choose 'cooperation'. Hals said in a low voice.

The Empire, of course, refers to the O'Moore Empire, and 'cooperation' is meaningful, and Locke needs to understand it well.

Locke had also been in the upper echelons of the Faustin Kingdom for a few years, and as soon as Hals said it, he understood the general idea.

"Is there anything I need to do for general cooperation?" Locke asked.

In Locke's understanding, it means that he has become a general existence in some rich and powerful families in the empire, helping those families when they need the combat power of a strong person like him, and enjoying the financial and material help provided by those families on a regular basis.

"There's no need to do anything, the Herlan family I helped last time only helped them capture a high-level demonic beast alive, and also got some private goods for them from the knight's hall. Hals said thoughtfully.

The first-level powerhouses in the western three islands are strictly forbidden to fight by the Holy Tower and the Knight Palace, and it is impossible for those imperial families to explicitly ask the first-level powerhouses they worship to destroy their opponent families.

However, this kind of practice of catching high-level demonic beasts for the family, using the connections and contact classes of the first-level powerhouses, and getting cherished potions that are difficult for ordinary people to touch, is advisable, so as to enhance the power of the family.

"Well, I'll think about it. Locke was a little moved, but he hadn't made a decision yet.

There are pros and cons to everything, don't think that becoming an enshrinement of a certain family in the empire, after doing some insignificant help for that family, you can get a huge profit, this is a very immature performance.

At least Locke can see one thing at present, if he reaches a cooperative relationship with a certain family, then it is inevitable that the opponent of that family will stand on the opposite side of him, and that family must also have a first-level powerhouse that he supports.

There are few great conflicts with knights in the forces, but it doesn't mean that there are none, the temper of knights is generally not very good, usually small frictions or something, abound, and there are also stumbling behind them.

The relationship between individuals in any organization is so complicated, and the factions in the knight's hall are also very serious.

To put it more broadly, the knight hall under the three fourth-level knights of the western three islands cannot be called monolithic.

The three fourth-level powerhouses, each in charge of the governance of a continent, also have elements of their game.

If the knight halls of the three continents are all managed by the three fourth-level knights, you have me, I have you, it will definitely cause chaos, it is better for everyone to manage one piece, support each other, compete with each other, and make progress with each other.

To put it mildly, the Hall of Knights of the Mysia Continent, which is in charge of Lord Odyssey, also has clear factions within it.

In terms of the different origins of the knights, there are the imperial faction from the Omoore Empire, the northern faction from the Northern Ice Field, the western faction from many alliances in the west, and the southern faction from places such as the Faustan Kingdom, the Gangze Kingdom, and the Karaman Kingdom in the south. It is the Rylet steppe and the Sakka steppe that Locke once visited, and the knights born on them are also called steppe factions by some people.

As for the age division of knights, there is also a great contradiction between knights over 150 years old and knights under 150 years old, and this contradiction comes from the uneven distribution of power.

In many places in the knights' halls, seniority is more important than strength, and first-class knights under the age of one hundred and fifty are called 'youth faction' by those old guys, which is a neutral word with a little derogatory connotation.

It's not that you and I are both first-class knights, everyone's benefits are the same, the year when Locke was just promoted to a first-level knight, the knight's hall annual salary was only thirty high-grade energy crystals, and those old guys who have been mixed for more than a hundred years have obtained between fifty and seventy annual salaries.

Locke is confident that he is not much worse than those old guys, but this is the case, he has not changed.

This is also the reason why Locke is reluctant to step into the factional strife in the knight's hall, he hates this kind of rules and regulations, and he hates the calculation of deceit, so on the first day he entered the knight's hall, he hugged the thigh of the knight Reilly.

It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, that's true, but when Locke got close to Reilly, he was actually inevitably caught up in the faction in the knight's hall.

In comparison, the atmosphere on the side of the Holy Tower is much better, although there are also factional battles, but it is much better than the side of the Knight Palace, and there are more masters and apprentices on the other side, as well as academic research debates.

As Locke pondered how he could gain a foothold in the Knights' Hall, the floatship flew towards Princeton on the Mycian continent at great speed.

The medium-sized float was more powerful than the smaller float, and with three first-class knights taking turns to maneuver it, they returned to Princeton in two weeks.

Before disembarking in the floating ship docking area of the Princeton Knights' Hall Branch, Locke thought about his current path and decision.

It is necessary to continue to get close to the line of the Knight of Rayleigh, he is the second-level powerhouse responsible for leading him into the knight's hall, and before leaving last time, the Knight Rayleigh had given himself a teleportation talisman of his younger brother, and Rayleigh's younger brother Raywan seemed to be standing in the position of great power in the task of taking over.

There is also a group with Hals and others, after experiencing this mission, Locke feels that Hals's group is quite good, and reliable, and he is not worried that he will be excluded if he is not from the Franza Kingdom, don't forget, in their gang, Charles and Jean are not Franza people.

Finally, when it comes to Hals's recommendation to cooperate with certain families in the Empire, this is a good choice, the Empire is far richer than other remote countries on the continent of Misia, this empire with a population of hundreds of millions, occupies the most fertile land in the central and eastern parts of the continent.

The titles of the nobles here are one or two classes more noble than those of other kingdoms and principalities.

Locke had one of the cooperating families in mind - Bili's family.

It seemed to be a viscount family, but in terms of economic ability, it was close to the average earl family, and it also had trade alliances with many small and medium-sized families in Princeton, and Locke had participated in joint auctions with Bili before.

Last time with Bili her

It's been eight years since we met, and that was when Locke and Angelina were sent back through the back door by Master Kayla before the plane war ended.

Since then, Locke has not looked for these old friends when he returned to Princeton, and he wondered what happened to Billy and Joaquin.

Among the first few friends, Dani was able to keep in touch from time to time because she was also studying in the Holy Tower.

Hey, if you don't get promoted to the next level, everyone will always be creatures on two levels, and the reason why Locke no longer contacts Joaquin and the others is because he doesn't want this sense of estrangement brought by this life level to make their friendship deteriorate.

"Let's take a moment to check it out. Locke sighed, not only did he sign a partnership with the Bili family, he hadn't seen each other for so long, but he was also curious about whether Bili and Joaquin, the two girls who were proud of each other in their respective fields, had changed.

After getting off the ship, he accompanied Shelley and the others to end the task reward, and Locke got one hundred and forty high-grade energy crystals, and Locke replaced them with wind crystals.

One hundred and forty high-grade energy crystals is not a lot, this is his annual salary for four or five years, it seems that the knight's hall encourages its knights to actively take on tasks, and there are no idlers here.

The high reward of one hundred and forty energy crystals, there is another reason, which is due to the doubling of their rewards this time, and the mission record of three East Coast powerhouses, two dead and one wounded, is there.

In addition to this energy crystal, Locke's biggest gain was the spoils of the first-level mage of the Death Knell's Mark, the scrapped 'Black Knight' corpse fragment with the strength of a first-level knight not to mention for the time being, and Hals and Arnold also gave him a necromancer's tattered robe.

In the head-to-head confrontation with the necromancer, Hals and Arnold are the main forces, Locke did not have the cheekiness to ask to share the magician's space ring and staff, this robe is already an unexpected joy, I believe that many masters of the Holy Tower will be interested in this magic robe that condenses the knowledge and characteristics of alchemy on the East Coast.

After saying hello to a few people, Locke rode back to his home after months of absence.

Princeton's rules of not allowing flying, Locke used to think it was nothing, but now it is different, after getting used to the flying speed of a first-class knight, it is helpless to take this kind of slow carriage again.

After not returning for three months, the home on the Rue de la Champell did not change much, the man returned, and the hostess Rafite beckoned to her maids and servants to prepare a lively dinner.

The only participants in the banquet were Locke and Rafite, and under the beautiful candlelight, Raffi blushed and drank a glass of wine with Locke, which was a new game taught by Hals, and Locke was forced to play like this with Shelley.

This kind of warm play with a little excitement is something Locke likes.

The drunken man was even more drunk, and the flush on Rafite's face became thicker under the candlelight, and just when Locke couldn't help but prepare to make further moves, Rafite suddenly said, "Shouldn't we go to the Holy Tower to see the young lady?"

Although they have all become Locke's women, Rafi usually calls Grace Miss.

"Well, that's what I'm going to do when I come back this time. Locke nodded.

The small interruption did not stop the two from gradually warming up, the air around them was getting hotter and hotter, and Locke and Raffi could smell each other's scents, which was so appealing to them.

The maidens who were serving on the left and right sides of the hall left with amusement, and the moment the door closed, Locke could no longer bear it, and came forward to hug Rafite.

He hadn't tasted meat for four months, and Locke couldn't help it, it was a sleepless night. (https:)
