When he left the kingdom again, Locke became a person, and Peggy wanted to go out with Locke, just to see more of the magical creatures in the fairy tale world, especially the cute and beautiful creatures like the flower fairy, which is the favorite of girls like her.

So Peggy asked to stay, and then followed the queen to meet the flower fairy, and she didn't know how to move Snow White, let Snow White intercede for her, and Locke could only ask the queen to pay more attention to her safety.

Locke alone, instead of continuing to ride on horseback, directly changed his body and shadows, and came back to the vicinity of the village, and then came to the forest that the queen had mentioned, and began to look for traces of the giants.

"This footprint...... If we extrapolate from the size of the footprints, this giant is almost eight or nine meters tall. The location provided by the queen was more detailed, and Locke walked around the forest and soon found clues to the existence of the giant:

"But there is a pair of footprints next to it, slightly smaller, almost three or four meters high, is it the child of the giant that the queen said?"

Thinking so in his heart, Locke used magic to probe and began to follow the trail to find it, and just like that, he stretched out towards the forest for more than ten miles, and faintly felt the sound of the earth shaking.

"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......"

Locke quickly followed, and in the distance he saw two very large figures walking in the forest, two giants, one tall and one short.

The taller giant was nine meters tall, carrying a cylindrical pillar covered with patterns, draped in a black animal skin, and his face looked like he was not young.

The other giant was only four meters tall, almost half the size of the tall giant.

Locke was on their side, recognized the old giant as the giant that the queen asked him to find, and directly flashed his figure and came to the eyes of the tall giant: "Hello, Giant Ender." ”

"Who are you? Small bugs. Seeing Locke suddenly appear, the old giant grinned.

'Little bug?! The corners of Locke's mouth twitched, but he still said: "I am Locke, the Queen's friend, and I came this time to invite you......"

The process of inviting persuasion is actually similar to inviting other old god bloodlines before, the giant Ander is a friend that the queen met from her previous travels to the mainland, and according to the queen's knowledge, Ander is not just a person, he is actually from a tribe of giants.

Seeing the little giant beside Ender, Locke knew that most of what the queen said was true, and the queen asked Locke to come to Ender, not just planning to invite Ander alone, but planning to invite Ander's entire giant tribe.

These giants were friendly to Locke, but the end result was not good.

This giant tribe has nearly two hundred people, and with its strong strength, not to mention whether the Holy See has discovered them, even if they do, it is not something that the Holy See can crusade at will.

According to the giants of the tribe, three years ago, they defeated the crusading army of the Holy See, causing heavy losses to the Holy See.

Therefore, they thought that with their own strength, they were not afraid of the crusade of the Holy See, so they refused Locke's invitation.

However, under Locke's insistence and persuasion, he still left behind magic items that could be quickly contacted, indicating that if the people of the Holy See appeared again, they could help each other.

The reason why these giants agreed was not because of Locke, but because they knew the power of the queen, so they did not refuse, and from this point of view, these giants are still relatively smart.

However, in Locke's opinion, since this giant tribe has been discovered, the Holy See will definitely not forget that there is no crusade now, and it is only busy carrying out the so-called 'holy war', and it is impossible to mobilize high-end forces.

In the Potions Garden before, Locke had seen the power of the Holy See bishop to summon angels, and even now Locke's strength was much stronger than at the beginning, and he couldn't block the angel's blow.

Once the Holy See gets serious, although the strength of this giant tribe is strong, it will definitely not be able to resist, and when the time comes, the queen will definitely have the opportunity to persuade these giants to join.

This time the giant failed, Locke did not return immediately, but continued to travel while cultivating, and every time he went to a village, Locke would invite people to drink in the tavern and listen to the people in the tavern tell magical stories.

His aim was to see if he could find any traces of fairy tales in these stories, and this time in a tavern in a small town, the story of a bard caught his attention.

"In winter, the fireplace burns brightly, and the whole room is warm, and the table is lined with milky milk, red wine, and crispy bread.

The knight's second lady sat at the dining table, her body covered in a thick fox skin, and her eyes looked at the girl with a grim look, and the girl was the daughter left behind by the knight's ex-wife.

The knight had died a few years earlier, without the knight's attention, and the new lady revealed her true nature, and she treated the children left behind by the knight's ex-wife extremely harshly.

Because of the meanness of this stepmother, the girl can only wear old clothes with patches, and in front of her, there is only water and black bread.

The girl ate the black bread carefully, for fear of making her stepmother angry, and her beautiful appearance made people feel even more pity.

But the stepmother was even more jealous, because her daughter, who sat next to her, although she was dressed in luxurious clothes, was not as good as the girl.

Looking at the heavy snow outside, the new lady suddenly had an idea, she took out a thin coat out of nowhere, and said to the girl: "You put on this dress and go to the forest to pick a basket of strawberries for me, I want to eat it!" ”

"Oh my God!" The girl's eyes widened and she said in a panic, "How can there be blueberries in winter?" The ground was frozen, and the snow covered everything, and the wind would blow into such a thin garment, and the thorns would break it. ”

But the stepmother glared at the girl viciously: "You dare to talk back to me? Hurry up and put on this outfit and get me out! If you don't pick strawberries, you don't want to come back! ”

The girl had no choice, her father was dead and didn't care about her, she could only plead: "Please, Mom, it's such a cold weather, don't let me go out, at least wait for it to be warmer outside." ”

"Enough, I've raised you for so long, and you want to eat strawberries, shouldn't you be filial to me?" The stepmother said extremely shamelessly.

The girl had no choice but to put on the thin coat, take the hard black bread, carry the basket and be driven out of the door, and go into the forest alone.

It was icy and snowy outside, and the girl who walked into the forest was getting colder and colder, and her hands and feet were getting weaker and weaker.

Just when she was about to pass out, she suddenly found a house, the light was on in the house, perhaps sensing the little girl, the door of the room was opened, and three dwarves came out of the room.

The little girl was a very polite girl, and she carefully greeted the dwarf.

The three dwarves thought the little girl was polite, and invited her into the room, where the temperature of the fire in the fireplace dispelled the chill from her, and the girl felt very comfortable.

At this time, the girl asks the dwarf where to find strawberries.

The dwarf asked, "Why do you come out to pick strawberries in such weather?" ”

The girl replied honestly, "My stepmother asked me to pick a basket of strawberries, otherwise she wouldn't let me go home." ”

At this time, the other dwarf said, "Then you can help me sweep the snow from the back door." ”

After hearing this, the girl obediently went to clear the snow, and the three dwarfs saw that the girl was so kind and lovely, so they decided to give her three blessings.

The first dwarf's blessing to her was that she was becoming more beautiful day by day.

The second dwarf's blessing to her was that she spit out gold as soon as she spoke.

The third dwarf blessed her that one day a king would marry her as queen. ”

At this time, the girl was clearing the snow outside, and after she finished clearing the snow, she found a large patch of red strawberries under the snow!

She was overjoyed, picked a basket full of them, thanked the three dwarfs, and went home.

Since then, the girl has become more and more beautiful, and she spits out gold with every word she says.

The stepmother's daughter was so jealous that she asked the girl the reason, and went to the forest to find the house where the dwarf was.

But she was not at all polite, and she was not willing to help the dwarves clear the snow, and the three dwarves were very angry, so each of them gave her a curse, one cursed her to become more and more ugly as she grew, and a toad popped out of her mouth every time she said a word, and the last cursed her that she would not die well in the future.

When the stepmother's daughter came home, every time she said a word, a toad jumped out of her mouth, and her original beautiful appearance became uglier and uglier as she grew.

So the stepmother hated the kind girl even more, and she thought of a new way to torture the girl, giving her an axe and making her go to a hole in the frozen river to wash her clothes.

While the girl was enduring the cold and washing clothes, the king passed by, and when he saw the beautiful girl, he immediately fell in love with her and married her as queen.

Until one day, the stepmother and his ugly daughter took advantage of the king's absence, threw the girl who was already the queen into the river, and let the ugly girl pretend to be the queen.

But the ugly girl was so ugly, and when she spoke, she would spit out a toad, and the king saw through it, and he rescued the girl, and ordered the stepmother and her ugly daughter to be thrown into the river, so that they could be punished as they deserved. ”

It is not uncommon to hear all sorts of stories in the tavern, most of which are made up, but this story, Locke knows must be true, because he has seen the story "The Three Dwarfs in the Forest".
