Chapter 188: The Royal Family’s Training Ground
“You seem to have forgotten what Wind City is? Tell me, what is Wind City?” Gilbert’s voice had always been very strong, coupled with the aura of a king that he had cultivated since he was young,
The retainer was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt and said, “The entire territory of Wind City belongs to the Fredrick family’s private property! All the systems, laws, and barons here can be decided by themselves! All you need to do is report it to the royal family!”
“It seems that your memory isn’t bad… Then tell me now, is there any problem in promoting ancient etiquette? Do I have the right to do so?” Gilbert picked up the apple from the silver plate and took a bite.
“Of course! Of course! Your subordinate will do it immediately! If anyone dares to disobey, I’ll punish them severely!”
After saying that, the retainer drove off with the doc.u.ments.
Gilbert greatly admired the legendary kings of ancient times. He believed that the common people of modern society were too negligent in their etiquette and needed to be properly disciplined.
Of course, this was only a superficial goal.
The deeper intention was to raise the social status of all the n.o.bles in his territory.
To obtain their full support, perhaps in the near future, the Frederick family might be able to take this step further.
However, that might not be the case…
“My King, please take a look…” The artist handed over a portrait that he had just drawn.
This painting perfectly displayed Gilbert’s domineering aura, making him very happy.
“Yes! That’s right, have the guards hang my portrait in the Portrait Hall of the successive chiefs of the Frederick family! Also, hang it in a conspicuous place in the city! Civilians must kneel and salute when they see it!”
At this moment, Prince Orlando also stepped into the royal palace. He walked to his father and knelt on one knee. “Father! The secret agents we sent have already investigated Locke…”
Then, he took out a doc.u.ment.
There was not much content on it. Gilbert only spent less than a minute to finish browsing through it.
“Hmph! A b*stard whose ancestors were all civilians for ten generations! He dares to blaspheme the royal family’s family emblem. This is a capital crime! It must be a capital crime! Have you contacted their local court?”
Orlando stood up as he said fiercely, “Although they have already accepted our family’s complaint, the local court has been very slow and ineffective! It might be because Locke has a very high popularity in Holy City or it might be because someone is playing tricks behind the scenes…”
“Bang!”
Gilbert exerted force and the table beside him shattered into pieces. He said angrily, “This matter has already violated the law and they can still protect this pariah? Since they want to stop us, then we’ll do things according to our family’s way! Inform your subordinates to go to Holy City to capture him. Bring this guy back to Wind City. I want to chop off his head in front of everyone in the city! Let these lowlifes know that the dignity of the n.o.bles isn’t to be offended!”
Hearing this arrangement, one of His Majesty’s retainers went forward and bowed, asking, “My King! It’s not impossible, but do we need to inform the royal family? After all, Holy City isn’t our territory…”
“What’s there to say? Would the royal family offend Wind City because of a Beastmaster? Right now, our strength isn’t inferior to them at all! Perfect! I want to let the entire continent know the consequences of offending the king of Wind City!”
“Yes!” Orlando and his retainers shouted in unison.
…
The next day, after bidding farewell to Hobrick, Peter brought Locke to the royal family’s training ground.
Strictly speaking, this place was a huge cliff. It was guarded by a team of guards.
“This is the training ground used by the royal family members. His Majesty the King has ordered that if you’re interested, you can train your Battle Beasts here…” Peter said to Locke, who was next to him, after completing the procedures.
Locke looked at the high-level Daemons that were locked in the special magic cage in the distance, but he did not show much interest.
After all, the way Locke improved his strength was not achieved by constantly fighting. He might as well read the precious ma.n.u.scripts in the royal library.
Of course, Peter and the others would never know Locke’s secrets.
In their eyes, the most stable way to improve the strength of a Battle Beast was to constantly fight against it.
Since the Frederick family was about to stir trouble, the king had specially approved Locke’s entry into the royal training ground. It was to hope that he would gain strength quickly.
At the same time, the king would also personally witness the strength of this legendary genius. He was currently in the lounge, looking at Locke through the surveillance cameras at the scene.
Just as Locke was about to refuse, the system’s voice sounded:
[ Ding! ]
[ Mission issued! Eliminate all the Daemons in the royal training ground. The reward will be 3,000 Function Points! ]
Locke was most sensitive to the appearance of “Function Points”.
This item was not something that money and materials could be found through trading in society. It was something even more precious.
Locke spread his hands and dismissed the idea of leaving.
Seeing that Locke had no intention of objecting, Secretary Peter smiled and said, “How is it? Do you want to experience the power of the royal training ground now?”
“Come on, it’s nothing…” As he spoke, Locke had already summoned his Twin-headed White Jade Snake.
This surprised Peter!
After all, during the Three Academies Martial Arts Display, this Battle Beast was still entirely white. Now, one of its heads had actually turned red.
“This kid is really not as what he seemed to be…” Peter knew that the Battle Beast’s strength had increased again.
“People will die, be careful…” After leaving these words, Peter left the battle area and went to the distance to watch the battle.
After receiving Peter’s signal, the soldiers began to release the wild Daemons within their mana.
They released a pair of large wild boars with fiery red skin!
These two fellows had obviously been locked up for too long and their eyes were red.
After a few hisses, they locked onto Locke, who was not far away.
Although Locke had not come into contact with them yet, based on his own experience and the flickering light of the other party, he was able to determine that this beast is an orange quality epic level six.
This was pretty good.
Behind them, in their cages, many more beasts were howling.
This pair of wild boars should be the lowest level.
“The royal family is indeed the royal family. Even the beasts in the training field is so powerful…”
This arrangement was deliberately made by the king. He wanted to start with the lowest level of Daemons to test Locke. Gradually, he wanted to increase the level of difficulty bit by bit.
After all, there was still a Daemon that was close to the rose gold quality divine rank at the end. This was the most effective way to understand Locke’s strength.
