Chapter 192: His Majesty the King
Locke already had 4,000 Function Points, of which 2,000 were used to upgrade the Fusion Beast.
The remaining 2,000 points had to be utilized.
“System, tell me the advancement conditions of the Golden Dragon…”
[ The advancement conditions of the Golden Dragon are 50,000 Function Points. The required materials are as follows: ]
Before Locke could hear the required materials clearly, he shouted for the system to stop.
This was because when he heard the 50,000 Function Points, his scalp went numb!
50,000 Function Points? What kind of joke was this?
Locke had never received so many Function Points even after the system had been bound to him!
As for those materials, he really did not have the courage to continue listening!
“Sigh, let’s just level up and take it slow…
“The upgrade conditions?”
[ The Golden Dragon upgrade conditions are 2,000 Function pPoints. The required materials are as follows: ]
[ 10 dragon bones, 1 drop of dragon tear, 1 lost dragon diagram, 15 prayer stones. ]
It did not seem like a lot.
However, Locke knew that it must be because it was difficult to find items in the black market.
The Fusion Beast materials were not a big problem. Old d.i.c.kens did not dare to lie to him.
If the royal family really had these things, then Locke would have two Battle Beasts leveling up!
It was really awesome!
Locke immediately recorded the things down.
After finishing the Incantation training, he lay on the bed.
“Should I call the two beauties back? Forget it, forget it… I should pay attention to the influence in the palace…”
Locke immediately dismissed this idea and went to sleep with his head covered.
…
The next morning, after the two beauties helped to wash up, Locke was brought to the king’s bedroom not far away.
“His Majesty will be here soon, please wait a moment…”
The voices of the two maids were very pleasant to hear.
Along with the rare flowers and plants around him, Locke simply sat on a large rock with a unique design. As he smelled the fragrance of the flowers, he admired the two beauties.
“Child, sorry to keep you waiting…”
Ten minutes later, accompanied by Secretary Peter, the king appeared.
Locke stood with his head lowered and bowed to show his respect.
“How is it? Have you thought of what you need?” The king asked with his hands behind his back as he walked forward. Peter immediately gave Locke a look to signal for him to follow.
“Of course! Thank you, Your Majesty!” Locke took out his phone and called out the name of the items.
“Hahaha… You little brat, you’re really interesting. Do you know why I’ll definitely agree to it?”
“His Majesty is the only king. Yesterday, you said that you’d help me, so you’ll definitely succeed! Since it’s a 100% success, then I’ll thank you first or thank you later. Isn’t it the same?”
This sentence caused the people around him to cover their mouths and snicker.
The king was very impressed by Locke’s trick. In his heart, he liked this young man even more. “Hahaha! You’re really eloquent. I like it! Hahaha…”
“Your Majesty, you should take a look first…”
The name of the items displayed on the phone was too shocking. Secretary Peter could not make a decision at all, so he could only go forward and show it to the king.
When he saw these items, the king was also stunned for a moment and suddenly stopped in his tracks.
As long as one was not blind, one would be able to see that the king was in a difficult position.
‘Oh no… Could it be that he can’t bear to part with it? Or does he not have it at all?’ Locke guessed in his heart.
A few seconds later, the king turned to look at Locke and asked with a serious expression, “Child, tell me honestly, if you obtain these things, your Battle Beast will definitely become stronger, right?”
Seeing that the other party was serious, Locke also straightened his att.i.tude. He put away his cheeky smile and replied with a serious expression, “Yes, Your Majesty! These things are the key to my Battle Beasts becoming stronger! I swear to G.o.d!”
After a few breaths, the king returned to his kind smile. “Child, I believe in your character! Let’s go, I’ll personally bring you to the treasury to get it…”
Locke was overjoyed!
It was said that the king was not easy to deal with, but in Locke’s eyes, it was very simple. There was only one trick to get along with him, and that was to tell the truth!
The treasury was not very far, only about 1,000 meters away from the king’s bedroom.
Looking at the treasury, Locke was a little shocked. How could this be a treasury?
It was even bigger and taller than the main hall Locke had seen before!
Although the outside looked very simple, it was just a stone building.
However, the things inside were definitely not ordinary!
‘I must have a good relationship with this old man. In the future, I’ll rely on him to advance and level up…’ Locke reminded himself repeatedly.
“Your Majesty, may you be bestowed with good health!” The captain of the guards who was responsible for guarding the treasury immediately went forward and knelt to salute.
“Yes, I want to take a few things. It’s too big inside. I don’t want to go in. You can let the soldiers bring it out…” The king walked toward the bench at the side. He seemed to be a little tired.
The opportunity that Locke wanted to broaden his horizons was ruined.
However, it did not matter. Locke believed that there would be another opportunity in the future. He did not know why, but his intuition told him that.
A half-man-tall box weighing 300 pounds was brought out by two strong soldiers.
The king patted the box and said, “Child, these are treasures that the heroes of the past found or obtained when they were fighting against the monsters. You must make good use of them… I hope that in the future, you can uphold justice and bring peace to the people of the continent.”
Although the king’s words were very calm, Secretary Peter’s heart was bleeding!
This was because these things were priceless treasures. Any one of them could buy a relatively prosperous town.
For the first time in his life, Locke took the initiative to kneel on one knee. “Please rest a.s.sured, old man, I will! You have to take care of your health!”
“You should call him Your Majesty!” Peter was frightened and quickly corrected Locke.
However, the king did not mind. He touched Locke’s head and said, “I believe in you, child. You can definitely do it! It’s been a long time since someone called me an old man. Don’t they know that I’m already old?”
The king had held the t.i.tle of a king for decades. Today, an outsider finally called him by another correct t.i.tle. He was filled with emotion.
This old man was very clear that the things Locke needed definitely had something to do with dragons, but he did not want to ask too much.
The king also knew that the strength that Locke had displayed in the training grounds was not his all.
It was precisely because of this that the king believed that Locke would definitely be able to resist the Frederick family and guarantee that the continent would not fall into the flames of war!
There might even be more surprises!
These treasures that were kept in dust all year round did not have much meaning in the first place. Now that they could be used by this heroic youth, it was truly worth it!
“Alright… I still have to deal with official business. Let’s have dinner together tonight. Shall we head back tomorrow? I believe that Hobrick is already starting to worry about you…”
After Locke stood up, he carried the 300-pound-box on his shoulder with an incomparably relaxed expression!
