After getting off the floating boat, Locke and Hals walked behind and chatted, and Shelley and the other four were already in front.

In front of the royal city of Franza, there were many welcoming people at this time, including big nobles, rich businessmen, and some people who joined in the fun.

"Marquis of Lef, Marquis of Joyce, Marquis of Arnold, welcome back. On the city wall, a middle-aged man wrapped more tightly and decorated with a cotton jacket was very luxurious, and opened his arms enthusiastically.

Leif and the others were inspired, and they jumped up the city wall, shaking hands and laughing with the middle-aged man.

Seeing that the middle-aged man was wearing a golden crown of thorns with gorgeous patterns on his head, Locke could not have guessed that this was the current king of Franza.

But what almost made his jaw drop was that after the man had finished greeting the three of Lev, he turned his head to Shelley and respectfully shouted, "Grandmother!"

The corners of Locke's mouth twitched, Shelley looked like a young woman, and she turned out to be a grandmother.

"Shelley is the sister of the previous King. Hals leaned over and whispered.

I see, the king's grandfather was Shelley's brother, and it is no wonder that he called Shelley 'grandmother'.

It's normal to think that Shelley is almost seventy years old this year and has a nephew in his thirties.

The royal family attaches great importance to the continuation of the bloodline, and a very important requirement for a prince to succeed to the throne is to have an heir.

I don't know how many sons there are under this middle-aged king, maybe there are several grandsons, it seems that Shelley's family genealogy is very rich, and I don't usually talk to her.

Shelley just nodded, not showing too much enthusiasm, the other first-level knights still cared about the difference between their status and the king, but she didn't have the slightest pressure, this kid was raised by her, and in terms of ability, he was half a Ming Jun.

After Shelley passed, the middle-aged king greeted Hals behind him, "Marquis of Hals, welcome back!"

"Well said, well said, introduce you to a friend, this is Locke. Hals looked big and pushed Locke out and introduced.

"Hello Knight Locke!" the middle-aged king said with a very correct attitude, stretching out his hand to greet him.

The Kingdom of Franza is not a small country like the Duchy of Zelot, although the population is not large, but the Kingdom of Franza has a total of seven first-class knights in the current era, and it is placed in many countries in the northern region of the Mycia continent, which can also be ranked, in the middle and upper level.

"Hello. Locke smiled and shook the king's hand.

"Go, go, go, have a banquet, hold a celebration, Holmes, have you all arranged?" said Hals, cheerfully beckoning to the crowd, turning his head to call the middle-aged king by name.

"It's all arranged, everyone, please!" His Majesty the King was worthy of being a man from the North, and he was also bold and generous, and he was not angry at all because Hals called him by his name, and smiled in the midst of many noble ministers, and walked towards the palace hall with several returning first-class knights.

Franza was not a large country with a developed economy, and the king's lavish dinner party had a touch of simplicity in the luxury, which made Locke very satisfied.

The food is Franza's endemic ice saura, deep-sea toad, cuttlefish caviar.

Saury with fins thinner than a knife blade is the main species in França's glacial lakes, where it lives 20 meters below the lake all year round and is only widely caught by fishermen during the spring and autumn seasons.

The whole body of the fish is less than two fingers wide and more than ten centimeters long, and the meat of each ice knife fish is pitiful.

However, after dipping it in the secret sauce of Franza's court, Locke had to admit that it was a rare delicacy.

"Taste this!" Hals, not looking like a marquis, walked over with a whole roasted deep-sea toad, tore off half of it with his hands and threw it to Locke.

"It tastes good. "Just hearing this toad meat, Locke is full of words, the chef in this palace is quite high.

At the end of the day, Locke is similar to Hals's personalities, or they are similar in some ways.

Now everyone in the hall was chatting and talking, and only the two of them were huddled in a corner and feasted.

"Go, bring me a piece of snow venison!" Hals commanded the waiter who was serving him as he ate.

"Yes, Lord Marquis. The waiter was not surprised by Hals's actions, and the entire commoners of França knew that the Marquis of Hals had a bold and uninhibited personality.

"Get me a piece too. Locke added.

The waiter stooped back and led a few maids to fetch food for them.

"Hals, don't just focus on eating, and introduce Locke to our nobles of Franza. A short time later, Shelley, who was dressed up tonight, came over and complained about Hals.

"I'm not interested, I'm going to go to you. Hals wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth, and said with little interest.

"Forget about Xungui, isn't it enough to know you Shelley. Locke laughed.

He was really right, in terms of status, the most honorable King His Majesty present was a head shorter than Shelley, and in terms of strength, the first-class knights looked at the entire Franza Kingdom, and they were also the top people.

Shelley at the banquet did not wear her usual armor, but changed into a black lace dress, which was noble and sexy.

No wonder so many male animals in the knight's hall are looking at Shelley, if they really want to dress up, Shelley's appearance is not much worse than Locke's red faces.

The three first-level powerhouses sat here, regardless of their status, the crushing aura of that life level alone made the major nobles of Franza dare not lean forward at will.

Gradually, there were far fewer attendees walking around the Locke trio.

"Locke, I heard you're a prince?" asked Shelley, leaning over and lowering his voice.

"Well, I am the prince of the kingdom of Faustin. Locke nodded, it wasn't a secret that couldn't be said.

"Then you see......" said Shelley, biting his lip, "can you Faustin have any business dealings with our Franza, many of our industries in Franza are good." ”

After a good feast, Shelley began to sell Locke various França's specialties.

Locke turned his head to look at Hals, who just didn't see it, and went to the banquet table with a plate to find food, without a little of the shelf that a marquis should have.

"Well, you know, Faustin is a long way from Franza. Locke said with some apprehension, he saw Shelley's intentions.

"It's okay, we in Franza send a caravan to the O'Moore Empire every year, and I'm sure you Faustin will send a caravan to Princeton as well, right?" Shelley further said.

Forstein is technically located in the south-central part of the Mycian continent, while the Kingdom of Franza, is located in the northern part of the Mycian continent. The distance between the south and the north is no longer a simple manpower that can be achieved.

It is Locke and their group of first-class knights, who travel back and forth between the motherland and the O'Moore Empire, and they also take floating ships, and those caravans need to come step by step if they want to trade.

"I'll help you and the king to raise it, but don't be too hopeful. Locke gave Shelley a shot first.

Faustin's annual caravans to the Omore Empire were small, only one or two hundred men, plus half of the escorts and young nobles who studied abroad, and there was essentially no commercial trade.

"It's okay, thank you, Locke. Shelley smiled.

She, a knight, is really tired, not only to cultivate hard, but also to spare some energy to take care of the country.

Unlike Locke, who usually cares about the Faustin Kingdom, every year when the envoys of the Faustin Kingdom come to Princeton, Locke will go to meet with him, and then put away the cultivation materials that Kensell's uncle brought to him.

King Kensel treated Locke much better than several other domestic first-class knights, thirty high crystals every Chinese New Year's Eve, and some domestic specialty materials, Locke didn't call him 'uncle' in vain.

"Prince Locke, would you like to dance with me?" Shelley took off his white gloves and invited Locke.

"It's an honor. Locke smiled slightly and took Shelley's green hand.

Locke's dancing level is not low, Angelina and Grace are among the best players, and Locke's dancing skills have also increased greatly over the years.

In half a month in the kingdom of Franza, Locke lived very comfortably, approaching winter, everything was covered in silver, and there were few pedestrians outside.

Hals took Locke and led his Marquis's Palace Guards to a vigorous winter hunt on the vast Kostya Ice Field.

Eating freshly roasted snow deer and drinking Franza's famous wine vodka, this extremely high degree of wine, Locke was confused for the first time.

Hals once had his lieutenant of the guard perform the magic of breathing fire after taking a sip of vodka.

"You lieutenant can be half a magic apprentice!" Locke scolded, pointing at the bearded man.

"He's a fart magic apprentice, the temperature of the flame is less than 300 degrees, and it's hard to grill the meat. Hals disagreed, "If the alcohol concentration was a little higher, it would be about the same." ”

When the adjutant heard this, a strong man like a bear was so frightened that his arms trembled, and he added the alcohol concentration of vodka to it, and what he drank was not wine, but pure alcohol.

The strong man thinks that with the physique of his high-ranking attendant, one or two bottles of pure alcohol will not be in trouble, but who has nothing to do to drink poison?

"Have you been to the headquarters of the Knight's Palace?" asked Hals, who was riding a sleigh in the ice and snow.

"Been there twice and nothing good to do. Hals said, "By the way, isn't your mission for next year coming soon, you can take the opportunity to go around the headquarters." ”

"It's fine. Locke said that he had completed four years of the ten-year mission, and when he went to the Knights' Hall next month to receive the mission, he would see if he could find Reilly for a different mission to go to the headquarters.

Half a month later, Locke was the first to return to the O'Moore Empire, and Shelley, Hals and others said they would stay for a few more months.

Locke was not alone along the way, as he was accompanied by two first-class knights: Cobo and Temple.

The two of them are two of the few remaining first-class knights in the Kingdom of Franza, and this time they go to Princeton with them.
