Chapter 191: Locke Created History
The strength that Locke displayed had already exceeded the king’s expectations.
However, this was not enough to guarantee that he would gain an advantage against the Frederick family in the future.
“He needs more help…” After confirming his thoughts, the king ordered Peter on the other end of the earpiece, “Bring Locke to the garden and wait for me. I want to have a good talk with him…”
Having earned 3,000 Function Points from the system, Locke was in a great mood! He did not care about the things that he brought here and there.
“Just treat it as a visit!”
After all, this palace was indeed not small and Locke was a very curious person.
They arrived at a beautiful sky garden.
Dozens of maids had been waiting for a long time.
They went forward to help Locke take off his clothes. After bathing him, they gave him new clothes.
“This is a gift from His Majesty…”
The beautiful maid in the lead said as she helped Locke change his clothes.
Locke was someone who had seen many treasures.
From the moment the red and white clothes stuck to his skin, he knew that this thing was not ordinary.
Just the silk came from a rare Battle Beast.
The price of this kind of silk on the black market was priced at hundreds of pounds of gold per gram!
The reason was very simple. This kind of silk was tough. It would definitely be passed down to more than ten generations.
Other materials were also rare in the world. The tailor’s craftsmanship was even more perfect!
Locke moved a few times casually and felt extremely relaxed. His mood became happy. However, he was still not used to it.
After all, this kind of clothes were all worn by nobles.
It was true that Locke had never tried it on before.
This set of clothes also contained an extraordinary meaning. It represented the king’s view of Beastmaster’s strength.
It was equivalent to a medal!
If anyone saw it, they would even take the initiative to kneel and bow.
“Let me see. Does it fit?” Just as Locke was stretching his body, the king, who was wearing a golden mask, walked over, surrounded by guards and a few courtiers.
All the maidservants knelt and lowered their heads.
Locke shrugged his shoulders with a reluctant look on his face, ready to do as he was told.
However, the king immediately raised his hand to interrupt him. “I know you don’t like to kneel, forget it! You don’t have to kneel when you see me in the future! This is an imperial decree!”
!!!
???
Hearing the king’s words, everyone present was shocked!
What kind of treatment was this?
What kind of joke was this?
Locke did not need to kneel when he saw the king?!
It was completely impossible!
There was no doubt! This was definitely the first time in history!
A few officials wanted to dissuade the king but they were forced back by the king’s gaze.
“Child, come… Let’s drink tea.” After saying that, the king walked toward the prepared venue.
Locke naturally followed behind.
Apart from a few maids who were in charge of serving, there was no one else present.
The guards were all standing very far away and could not hear their conversation at all.
After eating a mouthful of cake, Locke took the lead to ask, “Your Majesty, why do you always have to wear a mask?”
“Hahaha…” The king laughed a few times, took off the mask, and explained, “This is a tradition of my family. As the king, I can’t let my subjects figure out my facial expressions…”
“How troublesome. It seems that being the king isn’t easy.” Locke drank a mouthful of high-end black tea, enjoying it very much.
“How’s your studies?” The king was like a parent, caring about Locke’s studies.
“What I can learn now are some things from books. There’s nothing left to learn in actual combat.” Locke was telling the truth. He had noticed this problem a long time ago.
Although the names of the classes in the academy sounded nice, there really was not much that could help Locke in this aspect.
“That’s natural. Your strength has long surpassed any student on the continent. I think… Your graduation day isn’t far away.” The king nodded with a smile.
It was extremely difficult to obtain the king’s approval.
The clothes Locke was wearing, which represented glory, were the best proof!
These clothes were usually given to gold-tier Beastmasters who were certified by the Federation.
What Locke did not know was that he had unknowingly created a new era in history!
Locke was the youngest Beastmaster in the history of the continent to possess this set of clothes!
“Your Majesty, why did you test my strength earlier?” Locke suddenly blurted out as he lowered his head to eat.
Good lad!
How clever!
The king finally understood why Hobrick cared so much about this student.
Not only was Locke’s strength outstanding, but he was also very smart! He was really a pillar of strength!
However, the king would not tell Locke his true intentions.
“Hehe… Of course I’m curious about your strength! After all, your principal is full of praise for you in front of me, I also want to see it…” The king always had a smiling face, like a kind old man.
In a trance, Locke felt that he was very similar to the principal.
“You should be a very hardworking person. You must be training your Battle Beasts in private, right? Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so strong. Is there anything I can help you with? Especially when it comes to improving your strength…” The king used a very subtle way to hint at Locke without revealing his true intentions.
Locke could not communicate with the system here, so he could not immediately know the materials needed to advance.
However, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
There must be a lot of good things in the palace that could help him advance further!
After rolling his eyes, Locke said, “Thank you, Your Majesty. Can you let me think about it?”
“Hahaha! Of course, I’m not in a hurry to chase you away! Think about it tonight, tell me tomorrow, I’ll bring you to a good place…” After drinking a mouthful of black tea, the king stood up. “I still have a lot of official business to attend to. I can only accompany you here today. If you need anything, just tell these people.”
Although there was no need to kneel, there was a need to be polite to the elders.
Locke put down the dessert in his hand, immediately stood up and bowed.
After the king had walked far away, the two maids came forward and said,
“Sir, His Majesty said that the two of us will accompany you for the next two days…
“Just let us know if you need anything, we can satisfy you…”
Locke nodded. “Thank you for your hard work…” Then he took another sip of tea. “Let me go to the library. There’s a book I haven’t finished reading!”
…
When Locke returned to his room, it was already 10:30 pm.
Locke was about to communicate with the system but the two beautiful maids had no intention of leaving.
“What? I don’t need anything when I sleep.”
“Really? You don’t need anything else?”
The two maids covered their mouths and laughed.
After Locke repeated his words, they left and closed the door.
After confirming that no one was watching outside the room and that there were no cameras, he prepared to communicate with the system.
