Chapter 87

At the entrance of the warehouse, the carrying work was in full swing.

“Slow down, slow down.”

Seeing that the two servants almost dropped weapons to the ground, Count Capet reminded them at once. The two servants nodded and walked more cautiously.

Seeing the carefulness on the face of usually careless Count Capet, Locke couldn’t help laughing.

Seeing Locke tittering, Count Capet glared at Locke. He couldn’t figure it out. Wasn’t Lister a barren place? Why did Locke become a millionaire in just six months?

Count Capet coughed. Seeing that the servants were carrying things and didn’t pay attention to him, he put on a smile to get a closer relationship. He asked Locke, “My son, I have treated you well these years, haven’t I?”

Seeing the smile on Count Capet’s face, Locke seemed to have guessed what he was up to.

Locke took a step back secretly and kept a distance from his father who looked “loving” at the moment. He answered warily, “Father, it took me a lot of effort to save these things. There’s not much left.”

“I’m your father. How can I covet your property?”

Being seen through by Locke, Count Capet said reasonably with a serious face. After saying that, he rubbed his hands and changed the subject slightly. Then he continued with a flattering smile, “I just want to ask you how you got these things. You see, it’s not easy for me to run such a big family, and I need to broaden the channels of making money. If father and son work together, we will definitely get more wealth.”

Athena, who was standing far away from them, was stunned and then smiled helplessly. They were father and son. She finally knew where Locke learned to be greedy.

Under the flattering smile of Count Capet, Locke’s attitude seemed to be softened a little. He asked, “Do you really want to know?”

Count Capet’s face lit up. He nodded and looked at Locke expectantly.

Locke was lost in thought as if he was organizing his words. When the expectation in Count Capet’s mind reached its peak, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, “If you want to know, I won’t tell you.”

As he spoke, he turned around slowly, leaving Count Capet who was red with anger and walking towards the hall casually.

“You!”

Count Capet angrily pointed at Locke, but he compromised because he had to ask Locke for help. He chased after Locke again.

Looking at the two people who were chattering away, Kotter and the others also smiled helplessly. Although the territory of the Capet family was much smaller than that of the other count families, there would be a considerable amount of income every year according to the normal tax.

But Count Capet was born in an ordinary family. He understood the hardships of ordinary people, so he often cut taxes for them, even paid money to help them in disaster. As a result, Capet’s family had been living a hard life.

Soon, they arrived at the hall.

After sitting down, Locke saw Count Capet’s hesitant expression and stopped keeping his guessing. “In fact, I have been a mage now.”

Count Capet was stunned for a few seconds as if he was thinking about the meaning of Locke’s words. Then he suddenly stood up from the chair, his heart beating fast, and he looked at Locke in disbelief.

Mage? Locke became a mage!

Just as Count Capet was immersed in infinite excitement, Locke added, “To be exact, I should be a level-3 mage now.”

Although he had released the magic power of level 4, he only grasped the magic of level 3 now, so it could only be regarded as a level-3 mage.

Count Capet’s expression changed dramatically, from surprise to shock. When he heard Locke say he was the level-3 mage, he was a little confused.

Swoosh!

After more than ten seconds, he breathed a long sigh of relief. Although he had restrained himself, he was still unable to restrain the shock in his heart.

Count Capet blushed and asked in a trembling voice, “Are you a level-3 mage now?”

Locke nodded with a smile and mobilized the magic power in his body. Suddenly, a strong magical fluctuation burst out from Locke, who was originally without magic breath.

In the blink of an eye, a red fireball appeared in front of Locke. The strong flame spread out and blew the curtain in the hall sounding.

The heatwaves hit Count Capet and Butler Joseph’s faces one by one.

On the red fireball, Count Capet felt a strong sense of threat.

“This is the level-3 fire magic…”

He pursed his dry lips and said in an excited tone.

“This is the level-3 fire magic, Flame Explosion Skill.” Locke nodded with a smile. While he was speaking, he had taken away the fire element from the fireball. The fireball, which was emitting a violent aura, gradually extinguished, and finally disappeared in front of Locke, leaving only a few traces of fire element.

After all, if the level-3 magic was released here, the hall of the Capet family would probably be blown up.

“Ha-ha!”

When the fireball in front of Locke completely disappeared, Count Capet suddenly burst into laughter, with unprecedented joy and relief, and a trace of visible tears in the corner of his eyes. “My son has finally become a noble mage! Who dares to say that my son is a loser!”

The level-3 mage!

At the age of sixteen, the level-3 mage, let alone in Naton County, was rare even in the whole Grimm Kingdom! Under the leadership of Locke, the Capet family would definitely become the strongest family in Naton County!

‘My lady, you should rest in peace in heaven. Our child had become a powerful mage!’

The more Count Capet thought about it, the more excited he became. At last, tears welled up in his eyes.

Butler Joseph who was aside was also shocked and looked at Locke numbly.

After the excitement, Count Capet wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and ordered Joseph, “Mr. Joseph, go to prepare dinner now. We have to celebrate it today.”

Joseph nodded happily and walked down quickly.

A few minutes later, Count Capet finally calmed down. He suddenly thought of a question, “You can’t condense magic elements with practice before, but why can you practice now?”

“In fact, I don’t know either. After arriving in Lister, I suddenly can practice. Maybe the magic god favored me.”

Locke shrugged his shoulders to show that he didn’t know. The god system was his greatest secret. Although he believed that his father would not reveal it, the fewer people knew about it, the safer it would be.

“The favor of the magic god?”

Count Capet looked at Locke in disbelief. There was indeed a legend about the magic god in Icacia Continent, but no one had ever seen it before.

However, he still nodded and did not continue to ask. In his opinion, the most important thing for him was that his son could become a mage.
