What happened next was exactly as Locke expected, and with the help of the goldfish, Jim got the ring.

At this time, Locke took advantage of Jim to hand the ring to the guards who were watching him, and told the guards that Jim was too tired and needed to rest, and that he would go to meet the king and princess the next day.

After the guard agreed, he went back to the palace first, and Locke grabbed Jim at this time and said, "Jim, you should remember what I said to you in the palace." ”

"Yes, Lord Locke, I don't understand why you are deceiving the King, and I was thinking of going back and explaining it to them later." Jim said.

"The reason is very simple, because the princess will not marry an ordinary commoner, do you plan to let the princess live an ordinary life after marrying you?" Locke said slowly.

"But a lie is a lie, sooner or later it will be exposed, I don't have money, and I'm not a nobleman." Jim said.

"You don't have to worry, as long as you answer my question, I will give you a large sum of money, and at the same time, let the queen of the Kingdom of Lawrence help you prove your noble status."

Locke smiled and said, "In this way, your identity and the money you have are not lies, but true." ”

"What the hell is the problem?" Jim also thought it was a good thing when he heard it, and hurriedly asked.

"Jim, along the way, I noticed that you seem to be able to understand what animals are saying." Locke said.

"What are you talking about, Lord Lo and Locke, how can a man understand an animal?" Jim had a bit of panic to hide.

"Honest Jim, you're not a liar, I can tell at a glance that you're covering up." Locke smiled and said:

"You better think about it, as long as you tell me this secret, you can live a happy and happy life with the princess, isn't this your wish?"

"This ......," Jim hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Well, Lord Locke, let me tell you, the reason why I can understand what the animals say is because I have eaten the flesh of a white snake, which the king eats every day." ”

"I see, Jim." Locke smiled and nodded: "In this case, I will also fulfill my promise, and now I will take you to buy the manor and land, and I will leave you a large sum of money." ”

The next day, Jim arrives at the palace and meets the king and princess.

Knowing that Jim, who had completed her test, was a wealthy man and a nobleman, the princess happily agreed to marry Jim.

The two soon got married, and Locke also attended as a friend, and by the way, he was rewarded for completing the mission.

After this, Locke returned to the forest where the three crows were, and before he could reach the vicinity of the original tree, he heard a croaking sound coming from the sky.

When they looked up, it was the three crows from before, and they were glad to see Locke, croaking and croaking.

Locke immediately understood the language, and then understood the words of the three crows: "Good human, have you come to see us?" ”

"I didn't expect you guys to grow up so quickly." Locke said, "Actually, I'm here this time because I want to ask for your help. ”

"What the hell do you want us to help with?" The three crows asked.

"I've been looking for golden apples, you're fast, and I want you to help me find them, tell me where to find them." Locke replied.

"I see, just wait for our good news." With that, with a gust of wind, the three crows disappeared into the sky.

Looking at the speed of the three crows and the wind they brought up, Locke knew that most of these three crows were magical beasts that had inherited a special bloodline, and it was no wonder that they could find the golden apple in the story.

The three crows flew away directly, and Locke didn't dare to run around, so he could only stay near the forest.

He built a wooden house around it, and then went to a nearby city to buy some clothes and other daily necessities, and as for food, he directly used the gourmet table.

In this way, Locke waited here for more than half a year, and finally one day, he heard the familiar crow cry overhead.

The three ravens came to Locke and said, "We flew across the sea, and at last at the end of the world, brought you the golden apple." ”

Locke couldn't help but be excited when he saw the golden apple that one of the crows was holding, and then he noticed that the three crows had some embarrassment and messy feathers, so he said:

"Are you hurt? I've got some potions here that should work for you. ”

As he spoke, Locke took out a crystal bottle and listened to the three crows tell the story of finding the golden apple.

From their descriptions, Locke finally determined the location of the golden apple tree, which was indeed very far away, and it was no wonder that the crow called it the end of the world.

After knowing the location of the golden apple tree, Locke did not rush over immediately.

The first is that the distance is too far, and the second is that according to the description of the three crows, the keeper of the golden apple tree is not easy to mess with, just like the queen said, he is definitely not an opponent now.

When the three crows left, Locke opened his mouth without hesitation and bit down on the golden apple.

The taste of the golden apple is very delicious, and after one bite, Locke feels as if every cell in his body is thirsting, so he can't help but swallow all the golden apples in his stomach.

Then, Locke felt a special change slowly occur in his body, as if his perception of magic became more acute than ever.

Locke then returned to the wooden house he had built and began to meditate.

When he opened his eyes again, there was a look of obvious surprise on his face.

As the queen said, eating a golden apple can make people more affinity and magic, and Locke clearly felt that the effect of his meditation was more than tripled.

And Locke also found that the changes in his body have not completely stopped, and it is estimated that the effect of the golden apple will increase over time, until the effect is fully exerted.

"Sure enough, it is a treasure in Western mythology, and my efforts have not been in vain." Locke muttered to himself delightfully.

It took two years in the fairy tale world, and there were many detours during this time, but I finally achieved my goal.

At this time, Locke also felt that it was time to return to the American drama world first, so he contacted the system and chose to return.

"The power of the system is really amazing."

After looking at the time, Locke sighed, he had been in the fairy tale world for more than two years, and as a result, only two hours had passed in the American drama world.

Thinking back to the events before he entered the fairy tale world, Locke quickly remembered the meeting with Seifer.

The meeting was not pleasant, and Seifer wanted to invest himself in a secret CIA plan, which he decisively refused.

Whether Ever had defected now, or was still working for the CIA, Locke didn't want to get involved.

As for the matter of the Cordis family, which the other party used to threaten Locke, Locke reviewed the entire operation and did not leave any traces of his involvement.

All this is just Seifer's speculation, and the only thing to worry about is if Damon and the others are caught, and then make a confession against Locke under threat.

Regardless of whether Damon will betray Locke or not, even if there is their confession, there is actually nothing that Cypher can do with Locke, because there is no evidence.

Locke has always been very careful in what he does, and even Damon, who acts the most together, does not have any evidence against Locke.

For Seifer, spreading the news will not have any substantial impact on Locke, at most it will cause some rumors, and the upper echelons of the United States, who do not have some similar things under them.

But you still need to be careful now, thinking of this, Locke made a phone call to Damon with an encrypted satellite channel: "How is your event going?" ”

"Just confirmed that the news is true." "We're gathering people and planning operations," Damon said. ”

"Suspend all operations," Locke said decisively, "and if there is an unforeseen circumstance, I will explain to your face when you come back, that everyone must come back." ”

"No problem." Damon decisively agreed: "I'll go back." ”

Hanging up, Locke let out a sigh of relief, and was gathering the men, and with their caution, the news must not have gotten out yet.

He believed that Damon and Vanessa would follow his orders, and that Catalia could not be unfavorable to him for the sake of the enemy's whereabouts, as for Giselle......

Thinking of this, Locke frowned, he couldn't completely guarantee what Giselle wouldn't do, after all, it was hundreds of millions of dollars, but this could also be seen as a test for her.

Now that Seifer is eyeing him, Locke believes that she will never give up so easily, and he must first confirm what Seifer's real purpose is and whether he is still working for the CIA.

In Locke's view, it is better for Syver to have left the CIA, so that at least it means that he has not been targeted by these federal law enforcement agencies.

For Locke, these law enforcement agencies are much more difficult than a single super spy, and if he is really targeted, observing Locke's every move with a magnifying glass will be troublesome in the future.
