The next day, refusing the offer of Irene's parents to send them a militia, the two rode to the neighboring territory of Felice.
That Viscount Simak and his son, whom Locke hadn't seen since the banquet ended last night, were supposed to have left, and Irene's request for his help in blocking the gun this time was sort of resolved, and now they were going to go and complete the Academy's trial mission.
Unlike the long white dress attire from yesterday's banquet, today Irene was the same as Locke, with the same half-body armor on the outside, a longsword hanging from her waist, and stepping on iron boots.
The physical strength of a knight squire was much stronger than that of an ordinary person, don't look at Irene as a woman, now that she was wearing at least twenty pounds of half-locked armor, she was equally unbelievably relaxed, this was a sudden change in style compared to yesterday's appearance of a delicate beauty.
Locke had also seen Rafi often swap be
The fight at the waterhole was continuing, and half an hourglass of time had passed.Behind the boulder, Locke's eyes were fixed on the fight not far away, only to see that the humanoid creature's body was now covered in scratches, and green blood oozed out of his ragged clothes.Although it was not caught by the giant crocodile, but it is inevitable in the dodge with the giant crocodile scales and armor and water pool side of the sharp stones collision, but this is compared to the giant crocodile caught has been the best ending, if the giant crocodile caught believe that its small body will be instantly torn apart and swallowed.However, the giant crocodile seemed to have had enough of this humanoid creature provoking it, only to see it landing on the ground with one paw, the giant kiss close to two-thirds of its body length opened, a light blue gas converged in its mouth, and the surrounding temperature dropped a little, and finally the light blue gas condensed i
With his longsword in hand, as he had done in the previous charges, Locke half-bent his back and slashed at the giant crocodile's right limb.This was the place where the dwarf humanoid had attacked before, the giant crocodile's leather armor was still glowing with dark corrosive damage, and with the scratch from the sneak attack on the giant crocodile also being on the right side of the neck, several of Locke's attacks revolved around this part of the giant crocodile's body.The giant crocodile was annoyed by Locke's attacks, whether it was accuracy or strength, every one of Locke's chopping strikes made a difference, as evidenced by the icy blood chunks on the ground and the sound of the giant crocodile getting weaker and weaker.Not interested in spending any more time with the giant crocodile, a leaping step, Locke jumped to the mid-air, the enhancement of the Eagle Fighting Spirit in terms of sensitivity allowed Locke to reach seven or eight meters in a single
After refusing the warmth of Irene's family's retention, the two of them, Locke and Irene, set off on their journey back to the academy.This mission was just a trial mission, not a vacation, so Irene wasn't able to stay home for long.The time limit for the completion of the mission was only one month, and the two of them still needed to hurry back quickly.Irene's blind date this time, was considered a perfect solution, both his parents and his uncle, Baron Bissell, were satisfied with Locke as a prospective son-in-law, especially after Locke pulled out a bottle of Johnson's Potion as a gift.Although Johnson potion produced from the O'Moore Empire, but in this country, Johnson potion audience is still in the upper tier of the aristocracy, Irene's family just two barons just to buy certainly buy, but will not be so easy to give away.The Johnson's Potion that could cultivate a middle-ranked squire was also a rare and precious material for a small fami
Locke was a second-class soldier of the Faustine Kingdom. He had started serving at the age of 14 and had been serving for 4 years. Today, he was in a good mood. Because it was the day to pay for the soldiers, the second-class soldiers of the kingdom had three silver ducas a month. In addition, there were two silver ducas that Baron Cadozzi provided for his soldiers. He could get four silver ducas a month. Why four, not five? It was because the military would always embezzle one silver ducas. That was a tradition.Locke couldn't wait to receive four silver ducas. Then, he would ask Lord Baron's caravan to send three back to his hometown. He hoped that his sister could buy a ribbon that she liked to replace the rough-linen wrapped on her hair. He also hoped that his parents would eat one or two meals of white bread in the next month. They were already in poor health. As for the remaining silver ducas, Locke would treat his brothers to a drink. He had a little authority,
Four years of war had given Locke the habit of eating quickly. He finished the meal, wiped his hands, and said to Hans, "Hans, let's go."Locke arrived at the munition depot again. It was noon now, and most people were either sleeping or soaking in taverns. Locke walked straight to the posthouse at the rear of the munition depot, took the money pouch from Hans, and walked into the courier station."Warner! Warner!" Locke shouted."What! What's the matter! Damn Locke, I heard it. You ruined my afternoon nap. You damned bastard!" Warner, who was in charge of the courier station's communication duties, walked out of a room and complained, "Is it sending money to your family again? Come on, give it to me!""Here, this is mine. And those bags belong to other guys in my team. Don't mess it up!" Locke warned."I know, I know. It's not the first time I worked for this. None of the other teams are as fussy as you!" Warner was s
When it was four in the afternoon, most of the people woke up. Locke got out of bed and began to call his subordinates. "Let's go and drink outside the camp! It's so hot that I can't sleep!" Locke complained."Great!" Locke's team members were very excited that they could immediately enjoy free wine. On a hot day, only the iced ale could let them calm down."Kane, take them to Green Palm Tavern first. Order a glass of ale for each of them and book a private room. Tell the lady boss that it's on me. Hans, go with me to visit Captain Joshak." Locke instructed."Yes.". Kane and Hans answered.Locke and Hans came to Uncle Joshak's tent, "Uncle Joshak, go drink!" Just as they entered the tent, Locke shouted at Uncle Joshak, who seemed to have just woken up."I know. Kid, lower your voice. I got a headache because of you." Uncle Joshak teased."Uncle, let's go. I have already arranged for someone to book a priva
After entering the room, Uncle Joshak casually took off his casual clothes and placed them on the hanger before sitting on the sofa. So did Locke. He put his clothes away and sat on the other side. The two men in military leather shirts were not in a hurry to speak. Locke first opened the wine bottle, filled the cups for Uncle Joshak and himself. They clinked their cups and drank first. Then they began to talk about business."Good, you are becoming more and more steady. It seems that you have improved a lot these years." Uncle Joshak said first. It was really incredible. In others' eyes, the bold, straightforward, and rugged Joshak taught a person to be calm. It seemed that this bearded man was not as simple as how he looked like."Uncle Joshak, you must be joking. This is nothing. I learned it from you." Locke said humbly."Don't talk nonsense! When did I teach you this? Am I that kind of person?" Uncle Joshak laughed and scolded. After that,
After drinking for a while, they began to talk about their hometown. Locke could tell that Uncle Joshak was missing his two sons, and he was teaching Locke some attitudes and manners to do things. Locke was also very touched by Uncle Joshak's friendship, and he often treated himself a junior and toasted Uncle Joshak. Locke had an impression of Uncle Joshak's two sons. When he first joined the army, Uncle Joshak's eldest son inherited Uncle Joshak's blacksmith shop, and his youngest son was a small assistant working in the blacksmith shop. The youngest son forged Locke's first weapon, a short dagger.This short dagger had no wooden handle, only the end of the knife was wrapped in a rough linen cloth as the hilt. The short dagger was small and thin, always hidden in his boots. It also had a story.When he secretly joined the army when he was 14 years old, he only brought this short dagger with him. At that time, a boy with a palm-sized dagger joined the army
