Chapter 149: A Delay of One Night
Time flew by, and more than half a year later, in the study of the palace.
"I've heard that Snow White has been asking about the king's assassination lately." The queen stared at Locke tightly, "Do you have anything to explain?" ”
"Isn't that a good thing?" Locke didn't look worried at all, and said:
"When the king was assassinated, the assassin was caught and said that the queen instructed him to do this, although you gave a gag order, but many nobles have heard about it.
Snow White had heard about it from her former teacher, and her current inquiry into the details of the incident showed that she had doubts about what she had believed in. ”
Locke doesn't know if the queen did the king's assassination, but the truth has nothing to do with him, he just reasonably guides Snow White to question.
All this is to fulfill the conditions of the queen.
Sure enough, after listening to Locke's words, a smile appeared on the queen's face: "I originally didn't have much hope that you would change Snow White, but she is alive and has much more value than killing her, so I let you try."
Now it seems that you really deserve to be the one who is guided by fate, and in that case, I will also abide by the agreement and use the magic mirror to help you find the item you have been looking for. ”
"Thank you, Queen, I can't wait." A smile appeared on Locke's face, and the long-term efforts finally paid off.
"Hahaha...... You're really anxious, come with me. The queen smiled and stood up, and led Locke to her bedchamber.
Here, Locke finally saw the Queen's treasure, the magic mirror he had always wanted, on the cabinet beside the Queen's bed.
The magic mirror is not a dressing mirror that Locke once saw in the movie, but a round mirror the size of a face, the entire mirror is silver-gray, and the frame is engraved with complex patterns.
Locke could see that these patterns were supposed to be a special kind of magic pattern, but he couldn't recognize the function of these magic patterns.
The queen came to the magic mirror and put her hand on the mirror surface of the magic mirror, and Locke felt an endless stream of magic coming out of the queen's hand, and then absorbed by the magic mirror little by little.
Locke watched the queen's movements, and then listened to the queen explain:
"Every use of the magic mirror consumes mana, and the wider the exploration range, the more mana will need to be consumed, with your magic power, if you want the magic mirror to explore the entire continent, you can't do it at all."
Locke nodded, and the mirror began to glow brightly, and a human head in the shape of an evil fairy appeared.
"That's it." At this time, the queen withdrew her hand and said to Locke lightly: "Now you can ask the magic mirror." ”
Looking at the queen with a relaxed expression, Locke couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the queen's strength, as far as he sensed, the magic power that the queen passed on to the magic mirror was already three times that of all his magic power.
"Why don't you hurry up and ask." The queen looked at Locke and urged.
"Okay." Locke looked at the queen, hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and asked, "Magic mirror, let me ask you, do you know where there is a tree with a golden apple?" ”
"Golden apples?" Hearing the name, the queen looked at Locke with a bit of amusement.
"I didn't find a tree in this world with golden apples." After a while, the magic mirror said.
At this moment, Locke's answer from the magic mirror was taken aback, and he couldn't help but say, "How is it possible, there must be a golden apple tree in this world!" ”
"There is indeed a golden apple tree in this world, but the place where it is located is not something that the magic mirror can detect." The queen interjected at this point.
"What?!" Locke looked at the queen with some astonishment.
"There are many hidden places in this world, all of which will be protected by magic, and these places are not something that the magic mirror can detect.
I have used the Magic Mirror to probe the Golden Apple Tree more than once in the past, but each time I have not found anything. ”
The queen looked at Locke and said slowly, "I didn't expect your target to be the golden apple, no wonder you sought the help of the magic mirror." ”
"Queen, have you also looked for golden apples?" Locke looked at the queen.
"That's right, after all, it's a treasure that can keep your face ageless, improve your bloodline, and be more friendly with magic after eating." The queen smiled and said, "Fortunately, I got one later because of an accident, but I ate it the first time." ”
"And where did you get it?" Locke couldn't help but ask.
"I've sworn to the gods that I'll never reveal it."
The queen shook her head, looked at Locke and said, "And even if you know where it is, with your current strength, it is impossible to get the golden apple from the caretaker." ”
"Keeper?" Locke had calmed down by this time.
He thought of the fairy tale king and prince with the golden apple tree, most of them were not simple, otherwise it would not be possible to protect the secret of the golden apple tree all the time.
Then he looked at the queen again, and he still couldn't accept that his efforts for so long had been in vain, but it was clear that the queen knew where the golden apple tree was.
Even if she said that her current strength is insufficient, it does not mean that she will not have a chance in the future.
"I can't tell you anything about where the golden apple tree is." The queen saw the meaning of Locke's gaze and said slowly, "It's a pity that the magic mirror can't help you, so you can only find a way to find it yourself." ”
His eyes flickered for a long time, and Locke sighed, and then said, "Can I ask the magic mirror in more detail?" ”
"Absolutely." The queen knew that Locke would not die easily: "But now the magic power of the magic mirror is not enough to probe again, and I will not help you replenish the magic power, because it will continue to be useless." ”
"Don't worry, I just want to inquire about the results of this investigation in detail." Locke said.
"Then there's no problem." The queen nodded, and pointed to the magic mirror.
"Magic Mirror, I want to ask you, which of the places you can't explore, which ones are near a king's palace, just tell me which country it is." Locke asked.
"Looks like you got some news from." Listening to Locke's question, the queen looked at him with some surprise.
Smiling slightly, Locke didn't answer, since the queen knew where the golden apple tree was, then there was no need for him to hide it, just looked at the magic mirror and waited for an answer.
Next, the Magic Mirror named a total of six countries, and Locke remembered them one by one, and then said to the queen: "Your Highness, I think I need to leave, because I have a long trip ahead. ”
"Of course." The queen smiled and sat down on the bed next to her, looked at Locke, licked her gorgeous red lips, and stretched out her hand: "But I guess you shouldn't mind delaying for a night." ”
"It has always been my pride to serve the Queen." Locke smiled and took the queen's hand, leaned down, and saw a snow-white ......
