Four hundred and seventieth IX former people
After the banquet, Locke finally had time to spend some time with Beli.
The elders of the Bili family were also very sensible and left them with a considerable space. Even the maids bowed respectfully in the living room and left the only couple.
"How are you doing these years?" Locke had nothing to say. He saved Bili, and Bili had helped him. The relationship between the two has always been very good, but as Locke's strength improves, a huge gap inevitably arises between the two.
This is also because Locke did not contact the friends he met in Princeton after he was promoted to the first level.
Faced with Locke's inquiry, Bili smiled, "It's still like that, I'm doing pretty well."
Bili, who is 32 years old this year, has less youthful vitality as a little woman and more mature and intoxicating temperament.
This is related to her family cultivation. Among Locke's women, Grace and Beli have very similar temperaments, and Angelina also has them, but she is more noble than the world, which belongs to the cultivation of the princess.
"Well, how are Qiao Jin and the others doing recently?" Bili has experienced a lot over the years and has matured a lot. Somehow, Locke always dares to look Bili's resentful eyes directly, so he can only open up the topic.
Without stepping into the first level, the two of them will never have any good results. Locke now has two headaches, and he really can't mess with the flowers anymore.
In fact, Angelina and Grace discussed leaving Raffie to see him and thought was completely redundant. He could manage his own thing well. The pain of losing his loved ones was too uncomfortable. The death of his parents hit Locke far more severely than he thought.
It is indeed a bit of blame for Rock's ability to provoke flowers and plants at the time. The knights with strong bloodshot nature have always been like this. In some ways, this also culminates in the nature of powerful male individuals in their bloodlines to compete for their spouses.
Locke's shifting topic really made the awkward atmosphere in the room a little better. Bili began to tell the story of her situation with Qiao Jin and others over the years.
Some of the partners of a small team became border guards in a certain urban area of Princeton, some inherited their family titles and official positions, and were as busy as fish in the water during their careers, while others had already divorced and rarely appeared outside and began to live a life of taking care of their husbands and children.
"What about Qiao Jin?" After holding it in for a long time, Locke couldn't help asking, because Bili said that there was no discussion about how Qiao Jin was doing in the situation.
He is just a mean person. He obviously intends to let go, but he still has some thoughts in his heart.
"Jokin is lucky than us, and she doesn't have to indulge in worldly troubles. She ran away from home alone seven years ago and has not come back yet." Bili's narrative made Locke feel like he was struck by lightning.
He ran away from home seven years ago. Wouldn't that be the second year after Locke came back to meet them?
"Where did she go, do you know?" Rock asked.
"Jojin said she was going to travel, pursue a higher level, and catch up with your pace." Bili said the last sentence in Locke's eyes.
Lock saw a lot in these eyes, including Qiao Jin's original obsession and her thoughts in Bili's heart.
This exchange with Bili made Locke's heart heavy. Where did Qiao Jin go to travel? Bili said that he might have gone to other parts of the mainland and might have gone out to sea to explore.
Bili and others are trapped in knowledge and contact class
Limited, I don’t know where the Western islands are in the macroscopic position. What she said about going to sea may be because she went to the remaining two continents of the Western islands except the Missia continent, or maybe she went to the east coast, or it may be the farther west coast.
Not to mention going to the distant east and west, just looking for someone on the Missia continent is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Locke's attempt to find Qiao Jin is like a fool.
After staying at Bili's house for one night, during the night conversation with Bili, Locke found another reason why Qiao Jin had to travel.
Back then, Qiao Jin's parents had already chosen a marriage for Qiao Jin, and they were a great noble family with a long history.
Qiao Jin, who only has an intermediate magic apprentice, has no objection, nor can he object. This is a choice that all children of nobles have to face.
No way, Qiao Jin could only leave without saying goodbye. Now I know that she is really traveling, only Bili, the best friend, and even her family, thinks that Qiao Jin is leaving for the sake of escaping from marriage.
Not only Qiao Jin, but Bili has not been married for more than ten years, but also a miracle in the aristocratic circle.
Bili can do this depends on her strong business talent and the love given by her grandfather.
In recent years, Princeton's industry in their family has been well organized under the management of Bili and has expanded outwardly. If it were not for the limitations of the Viscount family, their market share in Princeton's East City would have been greater and larger.
What a pity, Bili is a woman, and the family's ancestor Old Man Offer always sighs like this. If Bili is a man, the family's helm will definitely be handed over to Bili in the future.
Fortunately, Bili is a woman, and fortunately, Bili has not been married for so many years. Not getting married means having no descendants. No matter how well she manages the family, the family's ownership rights will have to be returned to those people in the family, Bili's uncles and uncles.
This is also the reason why a woman, Bili, has a growing voice in her family, but few people have come out to oppose it.
This has reached a strange balance.
This also indirectly reflects how generous and enlightened the old king was able to agree to Locke to marry Angelina. It also reflects that the old king really loved Angelina.
But today, Old Man Overe probably had difficulty falling asleep when he was drunk tonight, and he would wake up with a smile.
A first-class knight has something to do with his baby granddaughter. Good guy, this is really a stuffed cake that fell from the sky. If Bili marrys her and can have a child in the future, their family will have no worries within one or two hundred years.
It is difficult for a first-level knight to create bloodlines with creatures below level one. It does not mean that it is impossible. Locke used to be embarrassed and tried to obtain bloodlines with his women.
In fact, Old Man Over didn't really sleep tonight.
During the long talks between Locke and Billy for several years, Old Man Overe also called all the leaders of the family, and the heads of the branches discussed the cooperation with Locke tomorrow.
Old Man Overe had woken up early, and after drinking a little undressing agent, he was very energetic. Their family had a magic apprentice, a high-level magic apprentice, and he also knew the alchemy. This undressing agent was the work of the advanced magic apprentice.
Moreover, Old Man Over opened three or four potion shops in Princeton, and half of the precious low-level magic potions were from the hands of the alchemist.
This also reflects the ability of Old Man Over to do business. The Viscount family is indeed capable of recruiting a senior magic apprentice, but recruiting an alchemist cannot be summarized by just having the ability. He has real skills!
"Tell me, what kind of contract should we make with this first-class knight tomorrow." On the main seat, Old Man Over's face was unpredictable, so that the others around him could not see what they were thinking.
"I think we should give the greatest discount and win the friendship of this first-level strong man, which is more valuable than any contract." said a middle-aged man who looked quite old.
He also has another identity, Bili's father. Over the years, Bili's business in the family has become bigger and bigger, and his status has also risen. Among the sons of Old Man Over, his family is of great power.
The only thing that people don’t like is that this person has only one daughter, Bili. After Bili’s mother passed away, her father never married a new partner. Bili’s ability to achieve such great achievements in the family was that in addition to having a grandfather protecting her, there was also a father standing behind her.
Bili's father's words made Old Man Offer nod and expressed his affirmation. It is necessary to be completely inclined to this first-level strong man. They must be necessary and must be inclined to this first-level strong man.
They were jealous of their family, and the alliance was not reliable by relying on the chambers of commerce formed by their family and several other viscounts and barons. This first-level powerful man is the real mountain.
Since Bili's father, several other family branches have expressed their opinions. They agreed with Bili's father's words, but in terms of details, these people still need to discuss how to develop and strengthen their family again on the premise of gaining the friendship of this first-level strong man.
The next morning, Old Man Over came to greet Locke in person and discussed with him the matter of signing the contract.
Seeing that Bili came out of Rocke's room, the old man looked happy and smiled and joked with his granddaughter, "Child, did you get with Lord Rocke last night?"
Bili thought that her grandfather was talking to Locke all night, and when she nodded, she realized that her grandfather was laughing, and she turned her head and ignored the old naughty boy.
The process of signing the contract was very successful. The Bili family did not have the ability to get a magic contract. Locke had an Alan magic contract in his hand, but he could not have used it because of such a small matter. He should leave the magic contract to Angelina and the others to study.
Although it is a paper contract, no one here doubts its validity. At the end of the contract, in addition to Old Man Over's autograph and thumbprint, there is also a mark of Locke's mental power.
This also means that if either party violates this contract, Old Man Over's family can use this mental mark to put pressure on Locke through the Knights' Hall. After Old Man Over's family breached the contract, Locke could unilaterally tore up the contract and retaliate.
At the end of the contract, Locke also realized that the surname of the Beli family was Morgan.
Bili's full name is: Bili Morgan.
