lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Knight's Journey!
Stayed at home for two days, living a refreshing life day and night, don’t be too happy in Locke’s little days.
It's because of Lafite, she is still a mid-level attendant so far, how can she withstand the endless impact of Locke, a human beast, all night.
Two days later, taking a carriage, Locke headed to a medium-sized store in Princeton East Town.
This is a shop open to knights and magicians. The goods in the shop are very diverse, including armors, potions, and many kinds of magic plants, ores.
In addition to the four or five diligent staff in the shop, in front of the counter in the rear of the shop, there is also an old man with his hair nearly half gray.
The old man, wearing a single-frame lens with gold rims, was looking at a gray-black stone in front of him with tweezers, and did not notice Locke entering the store.
"My lord, do you need anything?" a nice young female clerk walked over and asked earnestly.
She didn't feel any strong aura in Locke, but from the perspective of Locke's clothes and the luxurious carriage outside, she was definitely not an ordinary person.
In fact, this shop is not only open to magicians and knights, some wealthy aristocrats, who have nothing to do, will come here to see if there are any novelties.
The female clerk regarded Locke as the young child of a noble family.
The female clerk did not feel the strong aura of Locke. One is that the female clerk has no strength on her own. She has only learned rough grudges and wanders at the entry-level attendant stage. Second, it is due to the fact that Locke has been promoted to the first level. For a long time, he now can partially control the energy fluctuations that he has leaked.
"I'm looking for your store manager." Locke said straight into the subject.
The sign of the store outside the door clearly engraved the emblem of the Bi Li family, and Locke was sure that he was in the right place.
The female clerk was confused at first, and seeing that Locke did behave extraordinary, after all, she turned her back to call the old white-haired man who was studying a certain ore.
"Hello, can I help you?" After a while, the white-haired old man walked out and asked Locke politely.
He is not like a female salesperson who has never seen the world. He is far away. This old man can feel the extraordinary aura of the person in front of him. Is he a member of a powerful noble family, or a powerful knight or Magician, the old man guessed in his heart.
"Hehe, Wall, don't you know me?" Locke smiled at the old man in front of him.
"You are..." Old man Wall helped the single-frame glasses on his right eye, took a close look at Locke, made a memory, and said with an incredible expression, "You are... you Is it Lord Locke?"
More than ten years ago, when Locke was studying at the Imperial Royal Academy, he had visited the shop opened by Bi Li's house with Qiao Jin, Angelina and others.
This is a big store that can be ranked among the many properties of the Bili family in Princeton. It can earn 200,000 to 300,000 golden moles for the Bili family every year.
Converted into energy spars, there are close to forty high-level energy spars, which is not a big cash cow.
The person in the position of Old Man Wall has cultivated an unforgettable skill since he was a child. In addition to being the store manager, he is also an appraiser, used to identify some rare items that are hard to see.
Locke came with Bili at the beginning, and Bili was the most favored little princess in their family. Wall remembered Locke's appearance and made sense.
I recognized Locke here. Wall still couldn't believe that the young man in front of him was Locke. You know, it has been more than ten years since Locke and Billie came to this store. In a few years, Locke's appearance has not changed a bit.
Wal was a middle-aged man in his early thirties more than ten years ago. Today, more than ten years later, he is an old man with a half foot in the ground.
"I'm looking for Bi Li, can you contact her now?" Locke asked.
It is also funny to say that the homes of several female companions of the team, Qiao Jin's and Dani's homes, Locke all know where they are, and even the two of them have gone as guests. The only Bili's home has not visited.
So much so that Locke needs to come here to ask for directions first.
"You come to see the lady? The lady comes back to the store every three days to inspect, and she will come just this afternoon. Or should I give you the address of the lady's house?" Old man Wall said respectfully, and said 'You' is replaced by'you'.
If he still can't see Locke's extraordinary at this time, he can go to death, and the older he gets, the better and better. Locker's appearance will not change much after more than ten years. This is a reminder in itself!
"Well, I'll go directly to her house to find her." Locke said, it is not long before the sun appeared in the morning. Wouldn't it be a waste of half a day for him to wait until the afternoon?
After obtaining the address of Bi Li's house from Old Man Wall, Locke drove to the center of Princeton in a carriage.
In the carriage, Locke was quite confused about the word "Miss" that Old Man Wall had just revealed. Among the nobles, only women who did not leave the pavilion would be called Miss, and after a woman married, she would Change the name to Mrs.
(Why does Lafite still call Grace "Miss" because in addition to the master and servant, they also have a hint of sisterhood, and Grace can't be regarded as a married person. She and Locke did not hold a wedding. At present, Locke’s true wife is Angelina, and everything else is counted as his woman.)
Isn't Bi Li married yet? This is where Locke is puzzled. After so many years, no one is a young man or woman at the age of eighteen or nineteen. Even if Bili is younger than Locke, how could she be thirty-two this year.
Unmarried at this age, it is very rare among aristocrats. The pressure from the family is probably not small.
With a little doubt, Locke came to the door of Bi Li's house.
This is a secluded and luxurious medium-sized mansion. The mansion that Bilok placed on Shanschel Street is more than twice as luxurious.
Furthermore, finding such a villa in the downtown area near the center of Princeton also demonstrates his family's good status.
Before knocking on the door, the door of this luxurious mansion opened on its own, and a group of people, headed by an old man in brown dress, warmly welcomed Locke's arrival.
"You are Lord Locke, please come in." The old man gave Locke the feeling that his age is not young, but his body still reveals a sense of toughness.
How did this group of people know that Locke would come? Needless to say, it must be the old man of Wall. What means was used to convey the message? Some low-level magic messages were not too far away. Powerful families can afford it.
In addition to this, there must be knight attendants or advanced magic apprentices who are good at perception in this mansion, so that Locke can discover his arrival the first time he approaches.
Shaking hands with the old man in Chinese clothes, Locke noticed the emerald green figure in the crowd. I haven't seen it in eight years. Bi Li's overall appearance has not changed much, but there are more wrinkles in the corners of her eyes. , Has become more mature.
"Master Locke, I just made a few silverfish and moon shells a few days ago, and I will take them out today to catch the wind." The old man in Chinese clothes is named Orver. He is the patriarch of the Bili family and is also the favorite Bi Li's grandfather, the viscount of the empire.
"Okay, good." Locke nodded reservedly.
Whitebait and moon shells are just good dishes in the first-level knight circle of Princeton. In the commercial street of the Knights Palace, many shops have this kind of excellent food.
But in Elder Ofer's place, these two kinds of food are one of the few things that he uses to entertain the first-class powerhouses.
Everything was imaginary. Old Man Ofer learned that Locke would come, and from the description and speculation of his retainer Wall, he understood that this might be a first-class knight.
Old Man Ofer was surprised first, followed by ecstasy.
A first-class knight made a special trip to their family, what does this mean!
Talk about cooperation? can! As long as you see our family, please take it.
Talk about feelings? can! Do you have any affection with my granddaughter Bi Li? I absolutely support the old man.
After so many years in the Omor Empire, Old Man Ofer knows what a strong first-level man who lives reliably means to a Viscount family that has grown to the extreme.
It can be said that in the Omor Empire, just take the imperial capital Princeton as an example. In the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital, any family above the earl, without the shadow of a first-class knight behind them, is almost impossible to stand successfully.
Behind the Marquis family, there must be some powerful second-level knight standing!
The Duke’s family further up is the gate-lord who can get along side by side with the members of the imperial royal family. It is said that several hundreds of thousands of prestigious sky knights in the empire and these duke families Have some indescribable relationships.
The old man Ofer, who was hit by such a big surprise, frequently toasted Locke at the welcome banquet held. This old man is estimated to be more than seventy years old. He is considered a long-lived species in the wizarding world. I am not afraid to just drink myself to death.
At the banquet, Locke also cryptically revealed that the purpose of his trip was to discuss cooperation matters with your family.
This is not uncommon. For a knight who has just been promoted to live in Princeton, it is common to find a few cooperative families.
Under normal circumstances, first-level knights will choose several well-developed earl families, or viscount families with considerable potential, to cooperate.
The Bili family clearly meets this selection criteria.
Today, there is no way to discuss specific cooperation regulations, because the head of the family, Old Man Ofer, was drunk and was supported by a group of people back to the backyard to rest.
Before getting drunk, Old Man Ofer solemnly promised Locke that he would discuss cooperation with Locke tomorrow with the elders of the family and the principals of the tributaries, and sign a valid contract.
