Chapter 150 When you bow to people, you will ask for something
When Locke left the next morning, the queen was still in a dream, and from the queen, Locke also learned a lot about the past of the fairy tale world, mainly about the gods and the Holy See that once existed.
About 700 years ago, the Holy Light Divine Court came to this world, and there was a war with the old gods, Mount Olympus fell, and some of the gods died in battle, and some were seriously injured and fell asleep, and they have not yet woken up.
Similarly, the Holy Light Divine Court was not having a good time, they were also severely damaged by the gods, and they have not recovered until now.
But for more than 700 years, the Holy See continued to develop its faith, gradually becoming the sole faith of many countries on the mainland, and at the same time established the Inquisition of the Holy Light Divine Court.
Exorcists trained by the judges roam the continent, using the power of the Holy Light to pursue the bloodlines of the gods.
The queen was once pursued by these exorcists.
Although the average exorcist is basically sent to death as the queen's strength continues to grow, they are always in a constant stream and will be found wherever they are.
It wasn't until the queen got a revelation that she came to the country, met the king, married the king, and successfully took control of the country, and began to formally confront the state controlled by the Holy See.
With her great strength, the queen nearly doubled the territory of the kingdom, forcing the Holy See to concentrate a large amount of power on this side in order to maintain the current balance of power.
The main powers of the Holy See are in the countries of the East, and most of the countries in the East are under the influence of the Holy See, in addition to the influence of the Holy See in some countries in the central and western regions.
The kingdom was at the front line of the intersection of the East and the middle of the continent, invading several important countries controlled by the Holy See, curbing the rapid development of the Holy See, and attracting the attention of most of the Holy See.
Most of the addresses given by the Magic Mirror to Locke's six kingdoms are in the central or western regions.
According to the planned route, Locke went all the way, he was not in a hurry at the moment, because the golden apple tree was there, and it would not run away with long legs, the key was that the queen said that the strength of the guardian was very strong.
So Locke's plan is to determine the location of the golden apple tree, end this time and space travel, and return to the American drama world.
Along the way, Locke left the queen's country and came to a neighboring kingdom.
The kingdom was at war with another nation at this time, which seemed to Locke to be nothing strange, and in this era, wars between nations over land and resources were common, but the scale was different.
After arriving in this country, he gradually heard about the reputation of the king, which suddenly made him interested in this country.
For the king of this country was known for his wisdom, as if there was nothing in the world that he did not know, as if no secret thing could be hidden from him.
So he was asked why he knew so many secrets, and each time he replied that it was the wind that brought the secrets to his ears.
These rumors reminded Locke of a fairy tale called the White Snake.
When he came to the royal capital of this country, Locke first found a hotel to stay in, but he didn't expect the palace guards to come to visit the next day:
"Dear Sir Locke, it is an honour for you to be in our country, and our King has heard of your arrival and has prepared a sumptuous dinner for you, which you must attend."
"Your king has heard of my reputation, too?" Locke also had some curiosity.
"Lord Locke, you single-handedly slew the commander of the enemy army protected by a hundred knights in the war, and your bravery has spread all over the world, so we have naturally heard of your name."
Locke nodded, a little relieved, the spread of information in this world may be very slow, but Locke was still quite famous in the Kingdom of Lawrence before because of his military exploits, and it is not surprising that it reaches the ears of the kings of neighboring countries.
"I am very grateful to the king for his attention to me, and please tell the king that I will definitely attend the dinner."
Locke agreed, and in fact he had some conjectures in his mind since he had heard the legend of the king.
If everything really turned out to be what he thought, maybe he wouldn't have to go looking for the golden apple tree, he would have been able to get a golden apple first, and at the same time know the location of the golden apple tree.
It all takes luck to see if you can meet the king's guards.
Perhaps he really attached great importance to Locke, and in order to welcome him, the king made the evening banquet very solemn.
In the main hall of the palace, the musicians of the court played the music smoothly, and the waiters served carefully prepared food and the fine wine of the palace.
The nobles of the kingdom dressed in gorgeous clothes, some chatted, and some danced on the dance floor.
For the first time, Locke saw the king, who was known for his wisdom, dressed in a magnificent robe, with a gray beard and wrinkled eyes, but still quite tall and with a cunning glint in his eyes.
"Welcome, Sir Locke!" The king hugged Locke and welcomed him.
"Your Majesty, thank you very much for your hospitality, everything here is so beautiful that it makes me feel that coming to your kingdom is the right thing I have done in my life."
Intuitively, the king in front of him seemed to be calculating something, but he remained silent and calmly chatted with him.
After a banquet was over, Locke went to the living room in the backyard of the palace at the invitation of the king, and the two sat down facing each other, and Locke knew that this was the time to play.
"Sir Locke, I actually have a little question?" The king asked tentatively.
"Your Majesty can say whatever you have any doubts." Locke took a sip of the black tea handed by the maid, put the teacup on the coffee table in front of him, and said.
"Sir Locke has made great achievements in the kingdom of Lorense, and has been made a nobleman, why did he suddenly leave and come to our country?" The king tentatively said, "Could it be that the queen ......?"
"The queen was very kind to me, and she canonized me, which is why I stayed there for more than a year." Locke smiled and said:
"It's just that I naturally prefer to take risks everywhere, like to see different landscapes and people, and the same life makes me feel bored."
"Hahaha...... I see, Sir Locke, it seems that you are adventurous and a natural hero. The king smiled and said:
"I have heard that in the distant age of mythology, powerful heroes who had performed outstanding feats would be valued by Zeus, the king of the gods, and invited to join Mount Olympus and become one of the gods.
Sir Locke is a powerful hero with a heart that always challenges himself, and if it were in the age of mythology, you might also be appreciated by the king of the gods. ”
"It's just a legend." Locke smiled and shook his head: "And I'm not a hero yet." ”
"Sir Locke, you are too modest, I have heard that your strength can be compared to that of giants, and your swordsmanship is unmatched, and no swordsman can make a single move under your hands.
It is your presence that allows the Kingdom of Lorens to defeat the enemy army so quickly. ”
"The prize has been won, and the war can be won, but it still has to be attributed to the queen."
Locke knew very well in his heart that there were many powerful beings in the enemy army, but these existences were all restrained by the queen, and now it seems that they should all be members of the Holy See.
At that time, he was just an ordinary knight, and the enemy did not know his strength, so he was careless and allowed him to successfully sneak attack and complete the feat of killing the enemy commander.
"Humility is a good virtue, but Sir Locke, I have one thing that requires your bravery." The king said.
"Your Majesty, do you mean the war that is going on in your country right now?" Locke quickly figured out why: "You want me to help you defeat the enemy army?" ”
"That's right, the king of that country was actually a traitor, a thief, a hundred years ago, he betrayed my ancestors, occupied our former royal capital, and the war with us continues to this day."
The king said with a bit of hatred: "If it weren't for the sudden appearance of a brave and warlike general in their army, I would have had a chance to win the war!"
With your help, I will be able to defeat them, and if you agree to it, Sir Locke, I will let you choose a prosperous city as your fiefdom. ”
"Sure enough, if you are courteous to others, you will ask for something." Locke thought to himself.
He originally wanted to refuse, he had little interest in participating in the war between the two countries, but when he turned his head and thought of his previous speculation, he changed his words:
"As you know, I and the nobles of the Lorens Kingdom, if I rush into it, I am afraid it will cause a bad impact, I need to think about it carefully."
