Chapter 399: Bottleneck
"How do you feel about that marquis?" Locke asked Angelina, who had just walked out of the marquis's mansion and sat in the carriage in the prosperous city of Diesel City.
"O Marquis de Cheguesi, I feel him like a shrewd merchant. Angelina defined it this way.
"Haha. Locke laughed.
The well-known hard-line main battle faction in the kingdom of Gangzawa turned out to be a shrewd businessman, and Locke was amused by Angelina's answer.
Will Faustan take advantage of the power to ease the conflict with the Gangzawa Kingdom, or will the Gangzawa Kingdom take advantage of the situation to pull Faustan into their chariot and jointly add a bargaining chip to take the Andoha Basin.
It's an incomprehensible account.
A few days later, after being personally received by the current King of Gangzawa and conveying the goodwill brought by King Kensale, the prince and wife of Locke and Angelina were warmly welcomed by all the nobles of the Gangzawa Kingdom.
The king even wanted to hold a special ball to give Locke a clean sweep, but Locke declined.
Diesel City does not have as many high-rise buildings as Flor, but it is so large that it is almost one-third the size of Flor, the capital of King Faustin.
This is related to the cultural customs and geographical location of the Gangze people.
The people of Gangze do not like high-rise buildings, they prefer spacious courtyards, and Diesel City, the royal capital of Gangze Kingdom, is located in a hilly area, and the stone here is mainly weathered rock, which is not suitable for building high-rise buildings.
After a week's stay in the kingdom of Gangzawa, admiring the scenery of other countries, and tasting the region's specialty, 'sweet wine', Locke took Angelina back to Faustin.
"This kind of wine is only loved by those nobles, and I am really not used to drinking it. Locke grumbled as he held the flask in his hand, the dessert wine was sweeter than the wine he had ever drunk, and it was not at all as spicy as an authentic wine should be.
"Don't forget that you're also a nobleman, Your Highness. Angelina smacked Locke's chest in disgust, reminding him of his identity.
"Then Princess, I want to do some interesting activities with you. Locke laughed, and moved his hand.
"Hey, here's the carriageγγγγγγ β
"It's okay, there's enough space. β
"There's a maid outsideγγγγγγ β
"Why don't you just set up a soundproofing technique?"
"It's still daytimeγγγγγγ β
"It's more fun to do during the day. β
Without giving Angelina any more chance to make excuses, Locke brutally gags her.
Two weeks later, after two and a half months of last winter's departure, the team finally returned to Flor in early spring, when the crops were budding in the fields.
After the Chinese New Year, Locke, who had reached the age of thirty, officially got rid of youth and stepped towards the prime of life.
"The beard has grown again!" Christine rubbed her head against Locke's chin, carefully wiggling Locke's beard.
"Itchy. Locke shook his head uncomfortably, he had just finished a full set of strength training, and he was sweating.
"Do you want me to get rid of it for you?" said Christine, sinitiously.
"Forget it, your aunt will scratch me when I go back. Locke refused, this girl is so weird that sometimes even Locke can't parry.
"Hmph, you know that you spoil your aunt. Kristen threw a small tantrum tantrum.
After the age of thirty, Locke has less of the sharpness of a young man and more calm.
This kind of steady temperament is hugely lethal to a little girl like Christine.
Not only Christine, but there are many maids in the palace, hoping to be favored by His Royal Highness.
Among the aristocracy, the phenomenon of putting maids in the house is very common, and many commoners try their best to send their daughters into aristocratic families, hoping that one day they will be favored by the nobles and fly to the branches.
After completing the established strength training task, Locke dressed in civilian clothes and walked towards the training room.
In order to ensure the comfort and tranquility of the cultivation environment, there are many cultivation rooms and meditation rooms in the Prince's Mansion, and women such as Locke and Angelina have not slowed down their cultivation progress in the years since they returned to China.
Like a follower, he followed Locke to the door of the cultivation room, and after seeing Locke enter the cultivation room, Christine said sweetly, "Brother, I'll wait for you outside." β
Locke waved his hand to indicate that he understood, and at the beginning he also urged Christine to study hard and improve her vindictive level and magic knowledge.
I didn't expect this to be superfluous, Christine's special talent is not as good as Locke on the knight's road, and Angelina is not as good as Angelina on the magician road, but the speed at which the two roads go hand in hand really surprised everyone.
So far, Christine has become a mid-level knight squire, and has touched the threshold of an intermediate magic apprentice, and the only thing left to be promoted to an intermediate mage is to accumulate magic power.
Why Christine's vindictive level can be one step ahead of magic is inseparable from Locke's daily tireless teaching. (This girl pesters Locke all day long.) οΌ
In the cultivation room, dots of fluorescent light dotted around, and there are dozens of fluorites for lighting, which shows the degree of luxury.
Sitting cross-legged on the brocade silk cushion, Locke opened one hand, and a bottle of potion shining with strange colors appeared in Locke's hand.
"There's only half of it left. Locke sighed.
After returning from the Holy Tower, Locke's several spatial rings were full of his own cultivation potions.
The Holy Tower is worthy of being the holy place with the largest number of magicians and the highest quality, and all kinds of potions that are difficult to see in ordinary times, even with the power of the Faustan country, are sold there.
This precious elixir called 'Star Marks' was purchased by Locke to help him break through the bottleneck of cultivation.
The official knight level is even more difficult to break through than imagined, even if Locke has obtained the experience of many first-level knights when they were promoted, and there are enough cultivation potions.
In terms of breakthrough progress, it has always been far away.
"Go back and pick one in the treasury. Locke thought to himself.
Now is the time to use resources and diligence to heap levels, quantitative changes cause qualitative changes, and Locke does not believe that so many potions will be used, and the bottleneck will not be shaken.
It's still the same Dou Qi Gong method, which is the main reason why it is difficult for Locke to break through the bottleneck at present.
The Eagle Dou Qi is placed in all the Dou Qi Gong methods, and it can definitely be ranked in the middle.
But it's only in the middle of the stream.
Not to mention the entire Misia continent, even the Faustan Kingdom also has several fighting spirits that are superior to the eagle fighting spirit.
The replacement of exercises is accompanied by great risks and side effects, and only at the entry-level attendant stage can you replace your Dou Qi attribute at a relatively small cost.
Locke wants to transform his fighting spirit, and only when he reaches the official knight level can he rely on the absolute control of the official knight's body energy and a stronger physical body.
