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
"This is the result of this investigation mission?" A front desk staff member inquired with a grave expression."Yes, and here are the pieces of the creature we picked up." Locke handed over two fingers, molded limbs and a giant crocodile's scale armor.The staff picked up the instrument and tested it before nodding and confirming, "Not bad, your mission results this time are excellent." After saying that, they printed a piece of the completed mission mark on the copy of the mission palms that Aileen had led, and also handed over their mission rewards, as well.Two hundred gold moolah, compared to the quest rewards that other low ranked squires could receive, this one was much more precious, so it was evident that the information they brought back was worth a lot.This two hundred gold moolocks didn't ask for a single point, he had already taken a big bargain this time, no matter whether it was the dwarf creature's limbs, the giant crocodile's crystal core as
Back at home, neither Angelina nor Grace and the other women had returned, except for the guards who strictly adhered to their posts.It was now four in the afternoon, and there was still an hour or two before they would be home from class.Go to the yard where Angelina lives and get Angie, the little scorpion dragon, to play for a while.This scorpion dragon was growing bigger and bigger, and now Angelina was no longer very willing to fit it into her space equipment, for one thing, the little scorpion dragon itself didn't want to go in there because nothing existed in there but pitch black space; secondly, the little scorpion dragon was too big, making it impossible for Angelina to put in all the utensils, materials, and other items she used for her experiments.Handing the little scorpion dragon a piece of meat cut from the Frost Giant Crocodile, the little scorpion dragon first took its tongue and licked it, it had been more than a week, and the Frost Gian
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
Locke followed Uncle Joshak down the stairs. At the corner of the stairs, he saw the beautiful lady boss at the front desk again. The lady boss, who was settling accounts, was bent over and lying on the counter. From Locke's angle, he could see the white and smooth chest. Moreover, the lady boss had a kind of intellectual beauty when she was doing accounts. Locke was stunned. He almost rolled down the stairs.At this time, it was already close to evening. The sunset dyed the sky red, and orange-red light shone through the tavern door curtain. There were not many soldiers drinking in the tavern. Except for Locke's team, there were only a few people left. After Uncle Joshak went downstairs, he first greeted the soldiers who were still in the tavern, "Boys, it's almost dinner time. I'll go back to camp first. Go back early." After the remaining soldiers of the tavern responded respectfully, Uncle Joshak turned back and nodded to Locke, leaving first.After sen
