279 Chapter 279

Seeing Locke standing there blankly, the boy next to Sweet couldn’t help but laugh complacently. He naturally thought that Locke was frightened by the prosperity in front of him.

Ares looked around the hall and touched the relief on the wall. “Tut, tut, this relief doesn’t seem to be very good.”

Hearing this, Sweet and the others couldn’t help being a little speechless.

This scene was like a countryman who came to a super city, but he pointed at the exquisite mural buildings in the city and said that they were not as beautiful as the walls of his own house.

Sure enough, the passengers passing by frowned when they saw Locke and Ares like this, and their eyes were full of disgust.

Sensing the unusual atmosphere, Sweet was worried that Locke and Ares would feel embarrassed, he hurriedly smiled and said, “I was also severely shocked when I first came to the imperial capital city. Most areas of the imperial capital city are very prosperous, you will be able to adapt to it after staying here for more time.”

Locke nodded slightly and smiled. Then he didn’t explain too much.

Behind the crowd, looking at Locke’s back, Vanessa’s eyes darkened slightly and she was lost in thought. Contrary to the others, she didn’t think that Locke’s daze was a shock to the magnificent building in front of him.

He seemed to have a strong sense of loneliness.

Led by Sweet, they walked towards the passage at the side of the hall and soon arrived at the “platform”.

In front of them, there was a behemoth.

It was a huge and long strip-shaped airship with a height of nearly 50 meters. Above the airship, there was a deck of a giant ship, which was like what Locke had seen in his previous life. A fountain was erected in the middle of the deck, and the second half was a three-story exquisite building.

On both sides of the deck, there were some small tables, chairs, and sunshades. The passengers could enjoy the beautiful scenery of the whole imperial capital city while enjoying the delicious food.

Everyone sat down on the chair on the deck. Locke chose a place near the railing.

A few minutes later, the airship slowly slid out of the parking space and steadily stopped in midair.

The whole process was very smooth without any vibration. For the sake of the safety of flight, the airship did not stay in the low air for too long. In a very short time, it rose to a height of more than one thousand meters.

As the height rose, the airship slowly accelerated and galloped towards the distance, and the tall buildings and mountains below quickly retreated.

Looking down, the scenery of the imperial capital city could be seen clearly.

About an hour later, the speed of the airship slowed down again.

“Passed that mountain, we will arrive at the Imperial Mage Academy.” Pointing at the mountain peak in front of them, Sweet introduced to Locke.

In the distance, there was a towering mountain range. The parking space of the airship was on a small mountain.

After getting off the airship and walking down the mountain range, they soon arrived at the scope of the Imperial Mage Academy.

The Imperial Mage Academy was quite large, completely occupying a mountain range with heavy magic elements.

Looking far into the distance, many small buildings were hidden in green plants.

A girl was sitting in front of the stone steps.

The girl was extremely beautiful, slim, and graceful. Her long golden hair was like a waterfall in the setting sun, gently draped over her shoulders. Wearing a white magic robe, she was more holy and inviolable.

There was a slight melancholy in the girl, which made the boys feel more distressed.

Looking at the girl in the distance, Sweet and others were completely stunned.

All of a sudden, the girl seemed to feel something and suddenly looked up. When she saw the young man in the crowd, her expression suddenly changed.

“Locke!”

Irene threw herself into Locke’s arms and looked up at Locke. Tears welled up in her eyes. “I thought you were in danger.”

“No, you are injured!” Feeling the faint aura of death from Locke, Irene’s face changed instantly.

“I’m fine. It’s just a minor wound.”

Locke comforted her.

Sweet and the others looked at Irene in Locke’s arms strangely. They had been in the Imperial Mage Academy for three years, but they had never heard of such a person!

“Oh my god! What did I see?”

“My goddess is in the arms of a man!”

In the distance, a group of boys wailed. When they saw Irene jump into Locke’s arms, they seemed to have heard their heartbroken sounds.

“No, I want to duel with him!” Many boys clenched their fists.

From the words of the people around, Sweet and the others roughly knew the information of the girl in front of them.

Irene Peter, the dean’s new student, became a new goddess in the Imperial Mage Academy in four days with her super beautiful face.

“Irene Peter, my girlfriend. Irene, these are my friends I met on the way.”

Holding Irene’s hand, Locke looked at them and introduced them.

“Hello.”

Irene greeted them with a smile.

“Hello, Miss Peter.” All of a sudden, Sweet and the others felt flattered and admired Locke even more. He not only had powerful guards but also could win such a beauty’s heart.

“Mr. Capet, we still have to hand in the task, so we have to leave now.”

Feeling the mournful eyes of the people around, they felt their scalp tingle.

Sweet and the others left soon.

“Irene, this is Ares, my friend.”

After they left, Locke introduced Ares to Irene.

Irene smiled sweetly and waved at Ares. “Hello, Mr. Ares.”

“Hello, beautiful Miss Peter.”

Ares greeted with a smile.

“Just call me ‘Irene’.”

The two greeted each other. Irene couldn’t wait to take Locke’s hand and said, “Locke, my teacher, Mr. Edgar, has promised to treat your body.”

“Really? Thank you, Irene.”

After all, Ares was a god of war and was not good at healing. Irene’s teacher could also help him solve the hidden trouble in his body.

Along the way, Locke felt numerous murderous gazes.

About ten minutes later, Locke arrived at an independent office building.

The man was about 50 years old. He had a slightly fat figure, a square face, and the bones of his nose were slightly sunken in. His hair was rare, and his eyes were sharp. He stared straight at Locke.

“Are you Locke Capet?”

The man stared at Locke and asked coldly. His tone was full of arrogance.

Locke frowned slightly and felt a little unhappy. However, considering that he was Irene’s teacher, he held back his anger and nodded.

Edgar looked up at Locke and said in a flat tone, “I heard from Irene that you are quite powerful and can beat back a level-7 warrior.”

Locke didn’t say anything, which meant he admitted it.

Seeing that Locke didn’t say anything, Edgar chuckled, “Young man, you think you are strong enough, I can understand you are a little arrogant, but the excessive conceit is stupid!”

“Do you know that level-7 warrior is just a clown?”

As he spoke, he slowly walked to the balcony and pointed at a stone tower in the distance. “Any student who is practicing in seclusion in that stone tower can crush him as easily as stepping on an ant.”

“Teacher!”

Sensing Edgar’s hostility, Irene stopped him with some dissatisfaction.
