Chapter 182: Locke Gets into Trouble
This advancement seemed to be very special.
It took about three minutes.
After the light faded, a brand-new Twin-headed White Jade Snake appeared in front of Locke!
Twin-headed White Jade Snake that was completely white before now looked different!
One of the heads had turned fiery red!
The red and blue panel also appeared in Locke’s mind.
[ Battle Beast name: Twin-headed White Jade Snake. ]
[ Battle Beast grade: Gold rank. ]
[ Battle Beast type: Battle Pet Series. ]
[ Battle Beast attributes: Water, light, dark, fire, ice. ]
[ Battle Beast level: Tier 4, Level 1. ]
[ Battle Beast talent: Spatial Control (Unlocked! Possesses the basic requirements to level up to tier 5.) ]
[ Battle Beast skill update: Spatial movement, Light and Dark Spatial (contains 5 elements, can be used at will). ]
What Locke valued the most was the new Light and Dark Spatial!
All 5 elements could be used! It was a perfect enhancement!
Twin-headed White Jade Snake’s lethality had definitely increased by a huge level!
The Battle Beast itself was also very excited! Twin-headed White Jade Snake continued to move around Locke’s shoulder.
One moment on the left, the next on the right. It was like a child who had received his favorite candy and was jumping around.
However, this feeling of becoming stronger only lasted for ten minutes.
Locke still felt that this was far from enough! He had to continue becoming stronger!
Locke had to become the strongest person in the world!
These d*mn rules needed to be restructured! The person who could restructure them had to be only himself!
What did one mean by kneeling down at the sight of the royal family emblem? Sooner or later, it would all be abolished!
With this in mind, Locke went back to bed, crossed his legs, and began to practice Incantations.
…
The next day, the academy was still busy with its construction. Locke was lying under a tree, receiving a ma.s.sage from the sun.
Lawrence was such a glutton so in the face of physical work, it was in his nature to dodge it as much as he could.
Lawrence had brought a lot of snacks and ran to Locke’s side.
“You fatty, isn’t South District Academy a new building? Aren’t you going to help and lose weight?” Locke took a chocolate ice cream and teased.
“Sigh, I’m so fat! If I go, I’ll only be making things worse! I might as well just stay here! Besides, the princ.i.p.al and the directors aren’t here. Moreover, isn’t my performance in the three academies’ martial arts practice enough to get a chance to rest?”
This fatty looked honest but in fact, he was a sharp-tongued guy.
Locke smiled and did not press on the matter.
After eating a mouthful of ice cream, Locke asked, “Where did the old man and the directors go? Aren’t they supervisors?”
Lawrence whispered, “It’s Alice! Wasn’t she sent to the Federal Court by director Tristan? Today’s the court session! She’s in a big trouble this time! According to speculation… It’s a felony!”
Locke looked at the blue sky and muttered, “Alice? Who is it? I don’t remember…”
…
“Based on the crimes that Alice White had committed, the judge declares that she’ll be stripped off her ident.i.ty as a Beastmaster! From now on, she will not be allowed to hatch any Beast Eggs! She’ll also be sentenced to life imprisonment in her own castle…”
“Pa!”
“Court adjourned!”
The grand judge, who had been appointed by the higher-ups to handle this matter, struck his hammer, signifying that the trial had officially ended.
As for the charges, there were too many of them…
Intentional a.s.sault, attempted murder, and endangering the safety of society. There were about five or six of them!
This was also Secretary Peter’s order to the local court. He said that he wanted to take care of the White family, which was still on its last legs and was still endangering Holy City.
However, his brother’s t.i.tle of Earl was retained.
According to the law, only the emperor could order such a n.o.ble to be taken away.
It was said that Old Man White used to frequent the palace when he was young.
The Federation Emperor did not kill all of them out of consideration for their old friendship.
Only Tristan, an instructor from the academy, was sitting in the audience. The citizens around him watched the end of the trial and loudly reprimanded Alice who was on the sinner’s stand.
However, Alice was completely unmoved. She still maintained her high-spirited and extremely loathsome expression.
“This is considered a good result. Read more books at home and live the rest of your life…” After all, she was a student that he had brought over. Tristan could be considered to have had a good ending.
Alice snorted and said, “Tell Locke that as long as I’m not dead, he’ll never be able to rest easy! And you guys! Never be able to rest easy!”
Tristan turned his head and gave Alice a look.
The woman and her brother, Adrian, were no longer able to have a Battle Beast. They were already crippled. There was nothing to worry about.
The grand judge had just returned to his temporary office when he saw a few important people from the Federal Academy waiting for him.
“Instructor!” Diana stood up from the sofa.
“h.e.l.lo, child! It’s been a long time since we last met!”
Obviously, the two of them were friends.
Diana was also a disciple of the grand judge. However, he did not understand why there were two other people here.
Hobrick’s expression was serious and he had no intention of reminiscing. He immediately told them about Locke’s encounter with the subordinates of the king of Wind City last night.
Of course! Douglas did not say anything about the artwork. He only said that Locke had helped him move.
After listening to them, the grand judge frowned.
“This matter is quite troublesome. If King Frederick pursues it, Locke will not be able to escape from prison…”
Jacques immediately said, “Grand judge, I’ve looked into this law. It’s really a very simple sentence. There should be many ways to exonerate him, right?”
The grand judge glanced at Jacques and sighed. “Sigh… What do you know as an amateur? Lawyers are most afraid of this simple and clear legal provisions! This is the most difficult to refute! There’s no room for discussion!”
Locke was the most outstanding student in the history of the Federal Academy. Hobrick would risk his life to save him!
“You must have a way! I know you!”
Looking at the princ.i.p.al’s determined eyes, the grand judge did not beat around the bush anymore and said, “There are only two ways to get Locke exonerated! But the court system can’t control these two ways…”
Seeing that there were still two ways, everyone gathered around the desk.
After drinking a mouthful of black tea, the grand judge continued. “First, let Locke personally go to Wind City to plead guilty to King Frederick. Perhaps, the other party can pardon him…”
This method greatly disappointed everyone!
Although Locke was always mysterious, his personality was still quite clear. He was the kind of person who was not afraid of anything! He had never been afraid of anyone!
To make Locke bow his head and beg for forgiveness from others? That was absolutely impossible!
Looking at everyone’s disappointed expressions, the grand judge also noticed that this method might not work.
