Chapter 184: First Time in Heavenly Prefecture
Hobrick had already thought about it for five days. In the end, he decided to take Locke to the palace, hoping to solve this crisis.
The other professors and instructors did not understand why did this matter need to be considered for so many days. It was because it was an honor to apply to visit the palace.
However, Hobrick had already communicated with them, so they did not delve further.
Hobrick looked at the people in the tent and said, “I’ve already called Secretary Peter. There should be no problem with the application to go to the palace. I think there will be a reply later. Locke and I will set off tomorrow…”
“Don’t worry, we’ll keep an eye on the academy. I hope Locke is fine!” Tristan knew that his instructor rarely did things that he was not sure of.
Only Jacques was thinking, ‘Why is the old man so confident that he can go to the palace? Such applications are often rejected…’
Diana smiled and said, “Don’t worry! Only a few of us know about this from the beginning to the end. We’ll keep it a secret!”
Hobrick forced a smile and got up to leave.
At this moment, Locke was happy because of the three billion federal coins he had received from selling a batch of artworks! He made a phone call to ask d.i.c.kens had prepared the materials that he needed.
The so-called materials were for the advancement of Cries of Wind and Flame.
“Boss! There’s only one thing left! It’ll be here in a week at most…” d.i.c.kens was very smart. He never knew why Locke wanted these things. He just did his job well.
“Knock! Knock, knock, knock…”
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
After Locke hung up the phone, he opened the door and saw that it was Princ.i.p.al Hobrick.
“What’s wrong? Aren’t there no cla.s.ses today?” Although he was impatient, Locke had already made way for the living room.
This was the first time Hobrick visited Locke’s home. His parents were not around, so Locke brought a cup of coffee.
“Child, do you want to go out with me?” Hobrick did not reveal Locke’s current dangerous situation, but changed to a kind lie.
The old man was a famous explorer on the continent and the knowledge learned from going out with him was not something that could be measured with money. It could not be learned in cla.s.s either.
“You should tell me earlier! I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time! When do we leave?” Locke’s eyes were filled with antic.i.p.ation.
“Tomorrow… Tomorrow at noon.” Hobrick revealed a kind smile.
“Where are we going?”
“The Royal Palace…”
Locke was stunned for a second and asked warily, “Why are we going there? Is the Royal Palace very interesting?”
Hobrick stood up, smiled, and said, “Of course! There are many rare things there! The most valuable and rarest treasures in the entire continent are all there! Don’t you think it’s interesting? Moreover, anyone who entered the Royal Palace would be able to receive some gifts from His Majesty the King when they leave! It’s very precious and rare! How is it? Not bad, right?”
Hearing this, Locke’s interest was piqued.
When Twin-headed White Jade Snake had advanced, he discovered that after a Battle Beast advanced to tier 4, the materials needed were not something that could be gathered with money alone.
If there were so many rare treasures in the palace, it would definitely be worth it to get a few at the same time!
Moreover, the palace was the center of the entire Federation. It was only right to broaden one’s horizons!
“Alright! Then it’s settled! Tomorrow at noon!” However, Locke thought about it and immediately said, “But the palace is in the Heavenly Prefecture. It’s too far. Shall we take a car?”
Hobrick spread his hands. “There’s nothing we can do about it. Let’s take a plane. The plane will be faster!”
At the mention of the word “plane”, Locke immediately reacted. He decided to trouble Adelaide again.
After the call was made, not only did Adelaide not find it troublesome but he was also overjoyed!
“Oh my G.o.d! We can go to the palace? Isn’t that great? Mr. Locke, listen to me, do me a favor! I’ll send two more planes to follow your plane! The things inside are my gift to His Majesty the King! I’ll see if I can find a way to lift the curse on my family…”
The items in the two planes must be rare treasures as they were really rich.
It was great to be the king! No one needed to ask for those valuables and they could personally send the things over!
After sending off Hobrick, Locke’s parents came back and after hearing the news, they were in joy!
Dinner was spent in the excited tears of Locke’s parents.
“Thank G.o.d for such a wonderful son…”
“My G.o.d, if my dad were alive, he’d be able to get out of his wheelchair!”
