At the gate of the yard, Butler Joseph, with gray temples, waited patiently. Since Master Locke left, Sir Count would co to this courtyard every week.
However, he was still a little confused today. It had only been less than ten minutes, but why did the door open? In the past, Sir Count usually stayed for at least an hour before leaving?
“Sir Count.” Butler Joseph slightly bent his body and bowed to the person who ca out. Only then did he notice that there seed to be several more people around Count Capet.
“Master Locke!”
Seeing the familiar face, Butler Joseph was stunned and cried out in disbelief. ‘Wasn’t Master Locke in Lister? Why was he here?’
“Hi, Joseph. Can’t you recognize in just a few months?” Locke asked with a smile.
After being stunned for a few seconds again, Butler Joseph quickly curtsied and sincerely said, “It’s certainly sothing worth celebrating that Master Locke can co back.”
Led by Count Capet, Locke and Athena ca to the hall. As for Sleipnir, he went out for a walk.
In the hall, seeing the servant who brought the tea go down, Count Capet asked, “How have you been these few months, you must have suffered a lot?”
Locke shook his head and said, “On the whole, it’s not bad. After six months of hard work, Lister is different now.”
“Humph, you’re just being stubborn.” Seeing Locke’s smug expression, Count Capet obviously didn’t believe him.
However, he was more eager to know who Athena was now, so he shifted the topic to Athena. “Miss Athena, how long have you known Locke?”
“Uncle Wharton, you can just call ‘Athena’.”
Hearing the address of Count Capet, Athena answered politely. After thinking for a while, she continued, “We have known each other for six months.”
Count Capet was overjoyed to hear Athena’s address. Sure enough, the relationship between this beautiful girl and Locke was unusual. The more he looked at Athena, the more satisfied he was with his ‘daughter-in-law’. He praised, “Your parents must be great persons to cultivate such a beautiful and generous girl like you.”
“Thank you for your praise, Uncle Wharton.”
Athena smiled.
Seeing that Count Capet and Athena had a good conversation, Locke couldn’t help but think that if his father knew the true identity of Athena, he would probably be scared to death.
The three of them chatted for a while. Butler Joseph ca up to report that Kotter and others had arrived.
“Nice to et you, Sir Count.”
At the gate of count mansion, Kotter, Kerton, and others bowed, their faces incomparably respectful. Although their power had been improved, they still respected Count Capet from the bottom of their hearts. They didn’t forget that their lives were saved by Count Capet.
“Ha-ha, get up, all of you.”
Count Capet waved his hand, indicating that they needed not to be so polite.
He patted on Kotter’s shoulder and said slowly, “Thank you for taking care of Locke in the past few months.”
Kotter shook his head decisively and said seriously, “No, Master Locke didn’t bother us. On the contrary, we are the ones who are behind Master Locke.”
A trace of guilt appeared on Kotter’s face. The enemies who attacked them were all solved by Master Locke in person. They didn’t do anything to help.
Count Capet was a little stunned and didn’t react. As a knight of level 1, how could Kotter be a drag for Locke?
But at this ti, he suddenly found sothing wrong. His face changed slightly and looked a little bad. “Kotter, aren’t you the knight of level 1? Why can’t I feel the breath of fighting spirit from you?”
Was it because of the serious injury that his power was completely lost? But he didn’t seem to be hurt at all. He looked energetic with a ruddy face!
“Sir Count, Kotter has been promoted to the level-3 knight a few days ago.”
Kerton explained when he noticed that there was sothing wrong with Count Capet. Sir Count was just a level-2 knight. How could he know the power of the level-3 knight?
“What! The level-3 knight?”
Count Capet stared at Kotter in disbelief, with his eyes widen. Was he the knight of level 1? When did he beco a level-3 knight?
Seeing that Count Capet was looking at him for confirmation, Kotter nodded with a smile, “Three days ago, I did beco a knight of level 3.”
Hearing that, Count Capet took a deep breath. It took him half a year to get two levels higher, which sounded impossible. At this ti, he suddenly looked in the direction of Kerton and said in a sowhat numb tone, “Kerton, you are already a knight of level 2…”
He was also a level-2 knight, so as long as he felt a little, he could find the breath of Kerton. Then he felt it carefully and found that the previous several familiar guards had all beco level-1 practitioners.
Count Capet felt that his brain was buzzing and his worldview seed to collapse.
“Father, you’d better move these things in first. I’ll explain it to you in detail later.”
Locke said with a smile, noticing that Count Capet was stunned and dull. He thought it was better to give his father so ti to accept the information.
Count Capet’s eyes swept over the people like Kotter, Kerton, and others, and he felt more and more unbelievable.
“Okay.”
Hearing Locke’s words, he suppressed the shock in his heart and nodded. Looking at the two carriages full of goods, he couldn’t help but ask, “What are these?”
“These two boxes contain twenty level-2 weapons.” Pointing at the two big suitcases, Kerton explained. Then he pointed to another carriage and said, “Those two boxes contain so level-2 dicine.”
Count Capet was completely stunned. Kerton’s tone was very calm. It was not like he was talking about invaluable weapons and dicine, but more like introducing so valueless cabbages.
“Level-2 weapons and level-2 dicine…”
With stiff steps, Count Capet walked slowly to the boxes and picked up a level-2 long sword. Feeling the coldness of the weapon, he took a deep breath, with a strong shock in his eyes. He could tell that these weapons were definitely the best of level 2.
