I stayed at home for two days and lived a refreshing life day and night. Locke's little life should not be too happy.
It's hard for Raffi. She's still a middle-level attendant so far. She can't stand the endless impact of Locke's human beast at night.
Two days later, in a carriage, Locke went to a medium-sized store in Princeton's east side.
This is a shop open to Knights and magicians. The goods in the shop are very miscellaneous, including armor, potions, and many kinds of magical plants and minerals.
In addition to four or five hardworking shop staff, there was an old man with nearly half white hair sitting in front of the counter in the middle and rear of the shop.
The old man was wearing a single frame lens with gold rimmed. He was holding tweezers to observe a gray black stone in front of him. He didn't notice Locke entering the store door.
"What can I do for you, sir?" A beautiful young saleswoman came up and asked eagerly.
She didn't feel any strong breath on Locke, but judging from Locke's clothes and the luxury carriage outside the door, she was definitely not ordinary people.
In fact, this shop is not only open to magicians and knights, but also some rich nobles will come here to see what new things they have.
The saleswoman regarded Locke as a young child of an aristocratic family.
The saleswoman didn't feel the strong breath of Locke. First, the saleswoman herself didn't have much strength. She only learned superficial fighting and lingered in the entry-level attendant stage. Second, thanks to Locke's promotion to the first level for a long time, now he can partially control his energy fluctuation.
"I'm looking for your store manager." Locke went straight to the subject.
The logo of the shop outside the door was clearly engraved with the badge of the Billie family. Locke was sure he had come to the wrong place.
The saleswoman first looked puzzled. Seeing that Locke was indeed extraordinary, she finally turned back and called the old man with white hair who was studying a certain ore.
"Hello, can I help you?" After a while, the old man with white hair came out and asked Locke politely.
Unlike the saleswoman, who had never seen the world and was far away, the old man could feel the extraordinary atmosphere of the man in front of him, whether he was a member of a powerful aristocratic family or a powerful knight or magician, the old man guessed.
"Hehe, wall, don't you know me?" The old man in front of Locke smiled.
"You are..." Old man wall held the single frame glasses on his right eye, looked at Locke carefully, made a memory, then showed an incredible expression and said, "you are... You are Lord Locke?"
More than ten years ago, when Locke was studying at Imperial College, he came to the shop opened by Bili's house with Joaquin and Angelina.
This is the largest store of the Billie family in Princeton. It can earn 200000 to 300000 golden moles for the Billie family every year.
Converted into energy spars, there are nearly 40 high-grade energy spars, which can not be described as a big cash cow.
The person in old man wall's position has developed the ability to never forget when he was a child. In addition to being the store manager of our store, he is also an appraiser to identify some rare items that are difficult to see at ordinary times.
Locke came with Bili, who was the favorite little princess in their family. It's reasonable for wall to remember Locke's appearance.
When he recognized Locke, wall still couldn't believe that the young man in front of him was Locke. You know, more than ten years have passed since Locke and Bili came to this store last time. Has Locke's face not changed in more than ten years.
Wall 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 who has half a foot in the ground.
"I'm looking for Bili. Can you contact her now?" Asked Locke.
It's funny to say that Locke, the residence of several female companions of the team, Qiaojin's family and Diane's family, knows where it is. Even the two families have been guests. The only Bili's family hasn't visited.
That Locke needs to come here to ask for directions first.
"Are you looking for Miss? Miss comes back to the store every three days and will come this afternoon. Or may I give you the address of Miss's house?" Old man wall said respectfully, and replaced 'you' with 'you' in his words.
If he can't see Locke's extraordinary at this time, he can die. People live better and better when they get old. Locke's appearance still hasn't changed much after more than ten years, which is a hint in itself!
"Well, I'll go straight to her house to find her." Locke said, it's the morning. The sun doesn't appear long. It's a waste of half a day to let him wait until the afternoon.
After getting Billie's address from old man wall, Locke took a carriage to the central area of Princeton.
In the carriage, Locke was quite puzzled about the word "Miss" just revealed by old man wall. Among nobles, only women who did not leave the cabinet would be called miss, and after a woman married, she would change her name to madam.
(the reason why Raffi still calls grace 'Miss' is that they have a trace of sisterly love besides the master and servant, and grace can't be regarded as married. She and Locke didn't hold a wedding. At present, Locke's real wife is Angelina, and all of them are regarded as his women.)
Isn't Billie married yet? This is what Locke doubts. Over the years, we are not young men and women who were 18 or 9 years old at the beginning. Even if Bili is younger than Locke, she is 31 or 12 this year.
This age has not married, which is very rare among nobles. I'm afraid the pressure from the family is not small.
With a little doubt, Locke came to Bili's house.
This is a secluded and luxurious medium-sized residence, which is more than twice as luxurious as the one Locke placed on shanschel street.
Moreover, finding such a villa in the urban area near the center of Princeton also demonstrates the good identity of his family.
Before knocking, the door of the luxurious mansion opened itself. A group of people, led by an old man in brown Chinese clothes, warmly welcomed Locke.
"You are Lord Locke. Please come in." The old man gave Locke the feeling that he was not young, but his body still revealed a strong and strong spirit.
How do these people know that Locke will come? Needless to say, it must be old man wall. They convey information by some means. On the premise of not far away, some low-level magic messages can be affordable by families with great strength.
In addition, there must be Knight attendants or high-level magic apprentices who are good at perception in this residence, so as to find Locke's arrival at the first time when he approaches.
Shaking hands with the old man in Chinese clothes, Locke noticed that the emerald green figure in the crowd had not been seen for eight years. Bili's overall appearance had not changed much, but there were more wrinkles in the corners of her eyes and became more mature.
"Lord Locke, I just got some silverfish and moon shells a few days ago. I'll take them out to pick you up today." The old man in Huafu is called orfu. He is the patriarch of Bili family and the grandfather who loves Bili most. He is the Viscount of the Empire.
"OK, OK." Locke nodded demurely.
Silverfish and Yuebei are just good dishes and drinks in the first-class Knight circle in Princeton. Many shops in the commercial street of the knight hall have this delicious food.
But in the old man's place, these two kinds of food are one of the few things he uses to entertain the first-class strong.
Everything was empty. After learning that Locke would come and from the description and speculation of his courtier wall, old man ofer knew that this might be a first-class knight.
Old Oliver was surprised at first, followed by ecstasy.
A first-class Knight came to their family. What does that mean!
Talk about cooperation? sure! Take whatever you see in our family.
Talk about feelings? sure! Do you have any feelings with my granddaughter Bili? I absolutely support you, old man.
After so many years of fighting in the omore Empire, old man orfu deeply knows what a reliable first-class strong man means to a Viscount family that has developed and expanded to the extreme.
It can be said that in the omor Empire, just take Princeton, the imperial capital, as an example. In the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital, any family above the count has no shadow of first-class Knights behind, so it is almost impossible to succeed.
Behind the Marquis family, there must be a powerful second-class knight standing!
Further up, the Duke family is the gate valve that can get along side by side with the royal family members of the Empire. It is said that the famous heavenly knights in the Empire for hundreds and thousands of years have some indescribable relations with these Duke families.
Old man Oliver, who was hit by such a big surprise, frequently toasted Locke at the welcome banquet. The old man is estimated to be in his 70s. He is a long-lived species among humans in the wizard world, and he is not afraid to drink himself to death.
During the banquet, Locke also revealed that the purpose of his trip was to discuss cooperation with your family.
This is not unusual. For the first-class knights who have just been promoted to live in Princeton, it is common to find several cooperative families.
In general, first-class Knights will choose several well-developed Earl families or viscount families with considerable potential to cooperate.
The Bili family clearly meets this selection criteria.
It's impossible to talk about the specific cooperation regulations today, because old man ofer, the head of the family, drank too much and was helped back to the backyard by a group of people to have a rest.
Before getting drunk, old man Orff solemnly promised Locke that he would discuss cooperation with Locke and sign an effective contract with the family elders and the collateral principals of each branch tomorrow.
