"Locke, is this magic contract really concluded by a quasi-magician? I have never touched on some balance knowledge contained in it." Angelina said to Locke at dinner.

"Well, her name is Alan, and she is a friend I met when I traveled the East Coast." Locke replied.

Angelina was very unwilling to be surpassed by a magician of the same level in the field of knowledge. She had already made up her mind to spend time studying in the field of magic balance.

Relying on the crystal ball given by the magician Ashal, Locke stayed in the Santa Tower for a week and accompanied Angelina and other women.

Before leaving, Locke told the girls that she would come back again in three months.

This time when he returned to Princeton, in addition to Rafi, Xia Xi was also taken by Locke.

After a year, the half-elves in Xia Xi's body were almost the same as Master Kaira's research. Xia Xi could only stay idle on the Holy Tower, so it would be better to follow Locke back to the Omore Empire.

Locke knew Xia Xi’s talent in doing business. He planned to place Xia Xi in Bili’s family as his spokesperson, and in addition to developing those business families, he would make money for himself.

Xia Xi was very interested in the errands that Rock had arranged for her, and the most important thing was that it could help Rock.

Princeton's summer arrived soon. As the cicadas in the imperial capital were rumbling tirelessly, Locke, who was riding in a carriage, had quietly arrived at the Morgan family's residence, and there was a relatively heated discussion here.

"Sir!" The maid guarding outside the door had seen Locke before. When she saw Locke coming, she bent down and greeted respectfully.

When I opened the door, I saw a long table inside, a group of old men were sitting on both sides of them. The old men were red and quarreling with something.

They are all small and medium-sized family leaders who cooperate with the Morgan family. Among them are nobles with titles such as Viscount, Baron, Lord, etc., as well as leaders of certain empires and local consortiums, famous chambers of commerce, and some of the heads of the down-and-out Knights family came to join in the fun.

The one sitting at the top of the long table was naturally Old Man Over.

Sitting near both sides is the Viscount and Baron family, who have a cooperative relationship with the Morgan family.

These people are the quietest group on the scene, because they have already discussed the cake distribution and choice in private.

Those who are making noise account for the most, but the profit is the least.

Seeing Locke come in, the old man Over, who was sitting in the first place, immediately stood up and said generously, "Mr. Locke, you are here!"

After Old Man Over said this, the scene calmed down, and everyone looked at the newly emerging character with light or dark eyes.

There is no doubt that the one who can make Old Man Over so enthusiastic must be the first-class knight who is close to the Morgan family.

He shook hands with Old Man Over, and surrounded by everyone, Locke sat in the main seat.

"This is the patriarch of the Polut family, this is the patriarch of the Max family, and this is the patriarch of the William family." Old Man Over first introduced the three old guys around him.

These three old guys also have an identity, Viscount of the Empire.

"Hello." Locke shook hands one by one, showing extremely humility.

No matter which of these three old guys is selected, they are 20 or 30 years older than Locke. Locke did not show any arrogant look because of the crushing strength level.

After three old guys, Old Man Over pulled this out again

In the room, several well-known figures were introduced one after another.

Locke did not stand up and shook hands with them, but just nodded slightly.

After having sex like this, everyone sat down and prepared to start today's meeting content.

For the specific details, Old Man Over and the patriarchs of the other Viscount family had already discussed it. It was only after Locke, the first-level knight, arrived and signed the contract.

Old Man Over came up without talking nonsense, went straight to the topic, and handed Locke a detailed contract rule, which listed the benefits that Locke would receive in these families every year, as well as the obligations that Locke needs to complete.

"Twenty tons of cast iron, five tons of fine salt, two thousand pieces of silk, five hundred barrels of wine every year"

"Gold Moore 700,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0

"800 low-level energy crystals, 400 intermediate energy crystals, 200 advanced energy crystals,"

""

There are a lot of things, and there are dozens of them together, which makes Locke's eyes confused.

Among the cooperative families brought by the Morgan family, many of them were unable to directly pay for the energy crystals needed by Locke, and could only pay for the capital with ore, salt and other items.

"I don't want these things, you'd better replace them with energy crystals or magic cores for me." Locke pointed to the dozens of lines above and said.

Old man Over and the three old guys next to him looked at each other and said, "Okay!"

In fact, in this contract, the supply of energy crystals behind mainly comes from the three viscount families, and the mixed tributes in the front came from various small nobles and chambers of commerce organizations.

Lock doesn't want these things, but they want them.

Not to mention pig iron and fine salt, important daily necessities, are those hundreds of barrels of wine, taken to the provinces northwest of the Omor Empire, and sold to foreign ethnic minorities, which is enough for them to make a fortune.

"The contract needs to be changed." Old Man Over said.

"Well, you can discuss with my wife how to change it." Locke took advantage of the opportunity to push Xia Qian standing next to him.

Xia Xi, who has long silver-white hair and looks so different from ordinary people, was noticed by those interested when she entered the venue with Locke. Only then did everyone know that she was the wife of this first-class knight.

"I wonder what you call me?" Old Man Over didn't dare to rely on his seniority and asked in a tone as respectful as he was to Locke.

"My name is Xia Qian, hello." Xia Qian smiled.

"Xia?" Old Man Overwhelmed and repeated. He seemed to have heard of this name somewhere. He was old and couldn't remember it for a moment.

A few years ago, Xia Xi had done a lot of industries in Princeton. Later, as Locke took her back to Foster, she sold all those industries to the Beli family. Old Man Overheard heard Xia Xi's name once.

Not everyone didn’t know Xia Qian, but someone else knew her.

Bili, who was sitting a little closer to Old Man Over and Locke, looked at Xia Qian in disbelief. She knew Xia Qian's appearance. What happened? Xia Qian, who was a few years older than her at the time, has now become younger than her and her hair has changed color.

Bili made up her mind and went back to chat with Xia Qian, and asked what was going on, and women were treating her.

She cares a lot about her appearance. If possible, Bili hopes that she can become younger.

After that, Locke discussed issues with these families and did not participate much, and he left it to Xia Qian to do it, which was also training Xia Qian.

A week later, Locke went to the Knights Hall, and his mission this year was about to begin.

Holding the message talisman given by the Knight of Reilly last year, Locke went to the mission promulgation hall and found Reilly's younger brother, Lei Wan.

Lei Wan is a middle-aged knight with a beard. The depth of Locke cannot be seen, but he is at least a powerful first-level knight comparable to Hals.

After picking up the message talisman handed over by Locke, Lei Wan checked it around several times, and detected the fluctuations of his brother's familiar mark inside through his mental power, Lei Wan threw two mission scrolls to Locke.

"First, we will wipe out a small Naga tribe that has been in trouble for a long time in the southeastern waters."

"The second is to kill the quasi-level monster bears that have recently appeared in a dense forest in the north of the empire."

This is the benefit of having a backend and having a way out.

Locke hasn't heard of it yet. There is a newly promoted first-level knight who can choose the task category to complete by himself during the ten-year mission.

Without much consideration, Locke chose the second task.

Damn the southeastern waters are so big that just finding the small Naga tribe would have to work hard, not to mention fighting in the waters he was not good at.

In comparison, killing the bear is much easier.

"I have vision." Lei Wan praised Locke with a smile. "Don't take it lightly. This bear hurt the three of us quasi-knights who were performing missions last month, so it was valued by the superiors and adjusted to the trial mission of the first-level knight."

"Yeah, I understand." Locke said so, but he didn't care much in his heart.

This bear is really brave enough to kill the people who dare to hurt the Knights' Palace. From this point of view, this quasi-level monster is mostly wise, but it is just relying on its rough skin and thick flesh.

You should know that on the three western islands, many quasi-level monsters, level monsters, and even super-level monsters are very self-aware. People who usually hide in the Holy Tower and the Knights' Palace are too late, so how could they hurt people?

Take the Scorpion Dragon family entrenched in the Mofi Forest in the Kingdom of Foster, as an example. The Scorpion Dragon Lord Adamlis and his spouse Shiva are all level monsters. There are several descendants of equally powerful under them. Such awesome strength must be obediently in front of the Holy Tower and the Knights' Palace.

Angie and Femo were sent to Locke as mounts of demons by the Scorpion Dragon Lord Adamlis, so the intention of pleasing to others should not be too obvious.

After collecting this mission scroll, Locke planned to complete the mission within two months, and then went to the Santa Tower to get his new equipment.

After receiving the mission, Locke stopped by to visit Hals, Shelley and others who lived in the Knights' Hall. They had just completed the mission in the Deer Sea. They planned to rest for two months and digest the gains this time.

When he learned that Locke's forced mission was to kill a quasi-level monster bear, Hals and others didn't take it seriously, just like Locke.

They knew Locke's strength, and he was not a weak person among the first-level knights. This mission was not very dangerous to him.

"Do it well, come back early. Shelley has planned the next mission." Hals punched Locke in the shoulder and said heroically.
