Heimarian Odyssey - Chapter 478

[Chapter 479: People who used to be]

After the banquet, Locke finally had time to spend time with Bi Li.

The elders of Bili’s family were also very knowledgeable and left them a lot of space. Even the maid bowed down respectfully to leave the living room, leaving only this couple.

“How have you been these years?” Locke was at a loss for words. He had saved Bi Li, and Bi Li had also helped him. Avoid huge gaps.

This is also the reason why Locke did not contact the group of friends he met in Princeton after he was promoted to the first level.

Facing Locke’s question, Bi Li smiled, “It’s still the same, it’s not too bad.”

Bi Li, who was thirty-two years old this year, lacked the youthful vigor of a young woman, and instead gained a mature and intoxicating temperament.

This has something to do with her family cultivation. Among Locke’s women, Grace and Bili have very similar auras, and Angelina also has them, but she has more of an aura that transcends the world, which belongs to the cultivation of a princess.

“Uh… How are Qiao Jin and the others doing?” Bi Li has experienced a lot in these years and matured a lot. For some reason, Locke always dare not look directly into Bi Li’s resentful eyes, so he can only change the topic.

If they hadn’t set foot on the first level, the two of them would never have any good results. Now that Locke has Leah and Lafite, it’s enough to be a headache, and he really can’t do anything else.

In fact, Angelina and Grace’s discussion about leaving Lafite to watch him is completely superfluous. He can take care of himself. It’s more serious than imagined.

It is indeed to blame that Locke was too provocative at the beginning, and the bloody knights have always been like this. In some respects, this is also due to the nature of powerful male individuals in their blood to compete for mates.

Locke’s change of subject really made the awkward atmosphere in the room a little better, and Bi Li began to talk about her situation with Qiao Jin and others over the years.

Back then, some of the team’s partners became captains of the border guards in a certain district of Princeton, some inherited family titles and official positions, and were well-versed in official careers, and some were married and rarely appeared outside. Lived the life of a husband and a child.

“Then… what about Jokin?” After holding back for a long time, Locke still couldn’t help asking, because in the situation of the few people that Bi Li mentioned, he didn’t talk about how Jokin was doing.

He is cheap, and he is obviously planning to let go, but he still has a certain thought in his heart.

“Jojin is luckier than us and doesn’t have to indulge in worldly troubles. She ran away from home seven years ago and hasn’t come back yet.” Bi Li’s narration made Locke feel struck by lightning.

She ran away from home seven years ago, wouldn’t that be the second year that Locke came back to meet them, and the woman left.

“Where did she go, do you know?” Locke asked.

“Jojin said that she was going to travel, to pursue a higher realm, to…to catch up with you.” Bi Li said the last sentence while looking into Locke’s eyes.

Locke saw a lot from these eyes, including Qiaojin’s original obsession and her thoughts in Bili’s heart.

This exchange with Bi Li made Locke’s heart heavy. Where did Jokin travel? Bi Li said that he might have gone to other parts of the mainland, or he might have gone out to sea.

Bi Li and the others were limited by their limited knowledge and contacts, and they didn’t know where the three western islands were in a macroscopical sense. What she said about going to sea might have gone to the remaining two continents of the three western islands except the Misia continent, or maybe I went to the east coast, and it may be the more distant west coast,

Not to mention going to the far east and west, just looking for a person on the Mysia continent is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Locke wants to find Jokin, which is tantamount to a dream.

For the time being, he stayed at Bi Li’s house for one night. During the whole night conversation with Bi Li, Locke came up with another reason why Qiao Jin had to go out for a trip.

At that time, Qiao Jin’s parents had already selected a marriage for Qiao Jin. The family was a good match, and the other party was also a big aristocratic family with a long history in Princeton.

Only Qiao Jin, who is an intermediate magic apprentice, has nothing to object to, and he cannot object to it. This is a choice that all noble children must face.

Qiao Jin had no choice but to leave without saying goodbye. Now that she knew that she was really traveling, only Bi Li, her best friend, and even her family thought that Qiao Jin was fleeing to escape marriage.

Not only Qiao Jin, Bi Li has not been married in the past ten years, which is also a miracle in the aristocratic circle.

Bi Li’s ability to do this depends on her strong business talent and the favor given by her grandfather.

Over the years, under the management of Bi Li, the Princeton property in their family has been well-organized and expanded outwards for a time. If it is not restricted by being a viscount family, their market share in Princeton’s East City District will be even greater.

It’s a pity that Bi Li is a woman, and the patriarch of the family, the old man Ofer, always sighs like this. If Bi Li is a man, the helm of the family will definitely be handed over to Bi Li in the future.

It is also fortunate that Bili is a woman, and fortunately that Bili has not married for so many years. If she is not married, it means that she will have no descendants. No matter how well she manages the family, the ownership of the family will have to be returned to those in the family People, Bili’s uncles.

This is also the reason why Bi Li, a woman, has more and more power to speak in the family, but few people stand up to oppose it.

This has reached a certain weird balance.

This also reflects from the side how generous and enlightened the old king was when he agreed to Locke marrying Angelina, and it also reflects that the old king really loved Angelina.

But today, Old Man Ofer probably won’t be able to fall asleep when he’s drunk tonight, and he’ll wake up laughing.

A first-class knight has something to do with his precious granddaughter. Good guy, this is really a pie that fell from the sky. If Bili marries, she can have a son and a half in the future. Worry free.

It is very difficult for a first-level knight to have a bloodline with a creature below the first level. Difficulty does not mean that it is impossible. Locke often tried to get bloodlines shamelessly with his women before.

In fact, Old Man Ofer really didn’t sleep tonight.

Locke and Bi Li hadn’t seen each other for several years, and during the long talk all night, the old man Ofer also called all the principals in the family and the heads of the branches to discuss tomorrow’s cooperation with Locke.

Old man Ofer had woken up early, and after drinking a little anti-alcohol, he was in great spirits.

Their family worshiped a magic apprentice, a senior magic apprentice, who also knew a little bit of alchemy, and this anti-alcohol was written by that senior magic apprentice.

Moreover, the old man Over opened three or four pharmacies in Princeton, half of the precious low-level magic potions in them came from the alchemist.

This also reflects the old man Ofer’s business ability. The Viscount family is indeed capable of recruiting a high-level magic apprentice, but recruiting an alchemist cannot be summed up in one sentence. He has real skills!

“Let’s talk about what kind of contract we should make with this first-class knight tomorrow.” On the main seat, Old Man Ofer’s face was calm, so that other people around him couldn’t see what he was thinking.

“I think we should give us the biggest discount and win the friendship of this first-level powerhouse, which is more valuable than any contract.” A rather old-fashioned middle-aged man said.

He also has another identity, Bi Li’s father. Over the years, Bi Li’s business in the family has grown bigger and bigger, and his status has also risen. Among the sons of the old man Ofer, his lineage is the most powerful.

The only thing that makes people not applaud is that this person has only one daughter, Bili. After Bili’s mother passed away, her father never married a new person. Bili can achieve such a great achievement in the family, except that she has a grandfather who protects her. There was another father standing behind her.

The words of Bi Li’s father made Old Man Ofer nod his head in affirmation. It is necessary to completely lean towards this first-level strong man. It is necessary and necessary for them to lean towards this first-level strong man.

There are too many opponents who are jealous of their family. It is not reliable to rely solely on the chamber of commerce and alliance formed by their family and several other viscount and baron families. This first-level powerhouse is the real mountain.

Since Bili’s father, the principals of several other branches of the family have also expressed their opinions. They agree that Bili’s father’s words are true, but in terms of details, these people need to discuss carefully. On the premise of friendship with a first-level powerhouse, develop and strengthen your own family again.

In the early morning of the next day, the old man Ofer came to meet Locke in person and discussed with him about signing the contract.

Seeing that Bi Li came out of Locke’s room, the old man’s face brightened, and he teased his granddaughter with a smile, “Son, were you with Lord Locke last night?”

Bi Li thought her grandfather was talking with Locke all night, and when she nodded in agreement, she realized that her grandfather was laughing, she blushed, and turned her head to ignore the old naughty boy.

The process of signing the contract was very successful. Billi’s family did not have the ability to get a magic contract. Locke had a copy of Alan’s magic contract in his hand, but he couldn’t use it for such a trivial matter. The magic contract should still be handed over to Angie. Lina and the others should study and study.

Although it was a paper contract, no one here doubted its validity. At the end of the contract, in addition to Old Man Ofer’s autograph and thumbprint, there was also a trace of Locke’s spiritual power imprint.

This also means that if either of the two parties violates this contract, the old man Ofer can use this imprint of spiritual power to put pressure on Locke through the Knights Hall, and Locke can also unilaterally tear up the contract after the old man Ofer’s breach of contract and start revenge.

At the end of the contract, Locke also learned that Bili’s family’s surname was Morgan.

Billy’s full name is: Billy Morgan.
