Half a fellow

The southern part of Faustian bordered the Ligia Union, and Locke's hometown was in the southern province of Dor, so he wasn't unfamiliar with the union.

This was a force formed by many great nobles. There was no king, and there was no Council of Elders. Within the Ligia Alliance, each lord managed and developed on their own. They were united, and when they encountered an enemy they could not resist, these lords would unite again.

It was a force that couldn't be ignored in Faustian's surroundings.

The current queen consort of Faustian, Angelina's stepmother, was the sister of Margrave Kent, one of the major lords of the union.

"Faustians?" Lanie asked. This time, she wasn't speaking in Aomar's language, but in Ligia.

Whether it was Likian, Faustian or Shalorian, there was not much difference between them in essence. As long as the words were spoken clearly, they could all be communicated normally. It was just that there was a hint of their local accent that resulted in the differences between the languages of several countries.

In fact, the language of Aomar was the mother tongue of Faustian and other kingdoms. Many of the words in Faustian's language were derived from the language of Aomar. Aomar's language originated from the northern region of Missia, and Aomar's language originated from the northern part of the Missia Continent.

"Yes." Locke replied in pure Faustian language, with a hint of a southern accent. This invisibly narrowed the distance between Locke and the others.

After that, the conversation became more harmonious. Wright didn't look down on Locke just because he was a high-rank Knecht. Instead, he tried his best to make friends with him. He was even more surprised when he found out that Locke was only twenty-four years old.

Lanie, on the other hand, started chatting with Locke. During her years in Aomar, there were very few people she could talk to in Ligia except for her brother and Moss.

Most of them talked about what happened in Ligia. She seemed to have forgotten that Locke was a Faustian when she was drunk and treated him as a fellow member of Ligia. She even asked, "By the way, which fief are you from?"

Locke didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He repeated that he was a Faustian knight, but the female knight didn't stop talking. She took a sip of beer to moisten her throat and continued chatting with Locke.

Fortunately, Angelina's stepmother was the sister of the Marquess of Ligia Union. He knew a lot about Ligia Union from Angelina, so the two of them had no problems communicating.

But as she drank more and more, Lannie's words became more and more girly. In the end, she even grabbed Locke's arm and sadly told him about her unhappy first love with the lord's son when she was young.

Locke could only nod awkwardly from time to time to express his support for her and his disdain for the estranged nobleman.

Both of them were conversing in a heavily accented dialect. Not long after, the knights sitting next to them left one after another. They weren't from the southern empires of Aomar, so they couldn't understand what they were talking about and couldn't get a word in.

Among them, the short knight even made a face at the scar-faced knight, Wright. "Big brother, I think there's something going on between that kid and your sister!"

What answered him was Wright's powerful palm.

.....

Under the setting sun, Locke waved goodbye to Wright, Lannie and the others.

He was going home. Sancher Street in the south of the city was very far from Constantine Avenue, where the Hall of Knights was located. It would take at least two hours to get there by carriage.

Unlike Angelina, Leit and the others weren't rich enough to rent such a big house for a few years. Instead, they lived in a hotel on Constantine Avenue.

Due to the fact that a large number of knights had been conscripted and the number was still increasing, it was extremely difficult to find a place to live nearby.

Locke hailed a carriage and got in.

"32 Sancher Street." Locke didn't say anything else after telling them the address.

The carriage moved forward slowly.

He had gained quite a lot today. Half of his spatial ring was filled with magic books and a whole set of equipment for experiments. Among them, the most practical one was the pet pouch that summoners used to store major monsters.

Angie was currently three metres tall, so it was very convenient to carry a pet pouch around with it. The scorpiondrake's strength also made Locke feel more at ease about Angelina's safety.

Apart from that, Locke was also very happy to have Wright, Lannie and the others from the same hometown. They'd already exchanged addresses and no one knew when the conscription would start. They'd be staying at the Hall of Knights for the next few days, so it was common for them to see each other.

Locke took the opportunity to ask them about some of the problems he'd encountered when he'd just advanced to a high-rank Knecht while drinking during the day.

Impetus materialization was the proof of a high-rank Knecht, and it was also a technique that could significantly improve a high-rank Knecht's strength. There were many things that Locke didn't quite understand.

Wright and Moss didn't say anything about it. Instead, Lannie tugged at Locke and taught him for a long time. Laney, who had always been taught a lesson by her brother and Moss, had finally become a teacher today. She had a great time with it.

She rarely hid anything from him, which was the main reason why Locke was in a good mood. He couldn't wait to go back and test out the techniques he'd just learned today.

The Hall of Knights also had a special training hall and battle technique classes, but Locke hadn't been there even once. The tuition fee of one high-grade crystal core per hour was too much for most knights like Locke to pay.

"I'm back!" shouted Locke as soon as he entered the mansion.

Kristin, Suzanne, Lia, Glace and the others soon appeared one after another. There was only a month left before Locke would send Angelina to the Sanctum. He wanted to spend more time with his family during the last month and improve the relationship between Angelina and the girls.

"Where's Angelina?" He'd been inside for a while, but Angelina was nowhere to be seen.

"She's doing experiments in the alchemy lab," said Glace. Apart from Lia, she was the closest to Angelina now. With her outstanding communication skills, it was easy for her to gain Angelina's friendship as they spent more time together.

Plus, she intended to enter the field of potion-making. Although she was only a beginner-rank Lehrling, she often helped Angelina in the alchemy lab.

"I'll go get her!" Said Locke. He'd figured out how to carry the scorpiondrake and couldn't wait to share what he'd learned today with his sweetheart.
