Heimarian Odyssey - Chapter 489

[Chapter 490: The Scenery of the North Country]

After getting off the airship, when Locke and Hals were chatting behind, Shelley and the other four had already walked ahead.

In front of the Royal City of Franza, many welcoming people gathered at this time, including aristocrats, wealthy businessmen, and some people who joined in the fun.

“Marquis Leif! Marquis Joyce! Marquis Arnold! Welcome back.” On the city wall, a middle-aged man wrapped more tightly and with a luxuriously decorated padded jacket opened his arms enthusiastically.

Laif and the others aroused their fighting spirit, leaped up to the city wall, shook hands with the middle-aged man, and chatted and laughed.

Seeing that the middle-aged man was wearing a golden crown of thorns with gorgeous patterns on his head, Locke couldn’t guess that this was the current king of Franza.

But what almost made his jaw drop was that after the man greeted the three of Leif, he turned his head and shouted respectfully to Shelley, “Grandmother!”

The corner of Locke’s mouth twitched, Shelley looked like a young woman, and she turned out to be a grandmother.

“Shelley is the younger sister of the former King.” Hals leaned over and whispered.

It turns out that the king’s grandfather is Shelley’s elder brother, so it’s no wonder that he calls Shelley ‘grandmother’.

Considering that Shelley is almost seventy years old this year, and has a grandnephew in his thirties, it is normal.

The royal family attaches great importance to the continuation of the bloodline. One of the most important requirements for a prince to succeed to the throne is to have heirs.

The middle-aged king has many sons, and maybe several grandsons. It seems that Shelley’s family tree is very rich, and I don’t usually see her chatting with her.

Shelley just nodded without showing too much enthusiasm. The other first-level knights still cared about the difference in status between themselves and the king, but she didn’t feel the slightest pressure. She watched this kid grow up. It is half a Mingjun.

After Shelley passed by, the middle-aged king greeted Hals behind him, “Marquis Hals, welcome back!”

“It’s easy to say, easy to say, let me introduce you to a friend, this is Locke.” Hals introduced Locke with a carefree look.

“Rocke Knight, hello!” The middle-aged king put on a very upright attitude, stretching out his hand to greet him neither humble nor overbearing.

The Kingdom of Franza is not a small country like the Principality of Zelot. Although the population is small, the Kingdom of Franza has a total of seven first-class knights in the contemporary era, and they can be ranked in many countries in the northern region of the Mysia continent. Upper middle level.

“Hello.” Locke smiled and shook hands with the king.

“Go! Go! Go! Have a banquet and hold a celebration! Holmes, have you made all the arrangements?” Hals greeted everyone excitedly, and turned his head to call the middle-aged king’s name.

“It’s all arranged, everyone please!” His Majesty the King is worthy of being a man from the Northland. He is also generous and generous. He was not at all angry when Hals called him by his first name. The first-class knights walked towards the palace hall together.

Franza is not a big country with a developed economy. The dinner held by the king with great hospitality, with a touch of simplicity in the luxury, made Locke very satisfied.

The food is Franza’s unique ice knife fish, deep-sea toad, and cuttlefish roe.

Skatefish, whose fins are thinner than the blade of a knife, is the main fish species in the major glacial lakes in Fransa. Fish schools live 20 meters below the glacial lake all year round. Only during the fishing season in spring and autumn can they be widely caught by fishermen.

The entire body of the fish is less than two fingers wide and more than ten centimeters long. The meat of each ice knife fish is pitifully small.

However, after dipping it in the secret sauce made by Franza’s court, Locke had to admit that it was a rare delicacy.

“Taste this!” Hals didn’t look like a marquis, and walked over with a whole roasted deep-sea toad, tore off half of it with his hands and threw it to Locke.

“It tastes good.” Just smelling the toad meat, Locke became eloquent. The cooks in the palace are quite good.

After all, Locke and Hals are very similar in character, or they are similar in some respects.

Now everyone in the hall is drinking wine and talking politely, only the two of them huddled in a corner to eat.

“Go, bring me a piece of snow venison!” While eating, Hals did not forget to order the waiter beside him.

“Yes, Lord Marquis.” The waiter was not surprised by Hals’ behavior, and all the common people in Franza knew that Hals was bold and informal.

“Bring me a piece too.” Locke followed up and added.

The waiter bent back and led a few maids to fetch food for them.

“Hals, don’t just focus on eating, introduce Locke to our honorable Franza.” Not long after, Shelley, who was dressed up tonight, came over and complained to Hals.

“I’m not interested, I’m going to you.” Hals wiped the oil stains from the corner of his mouth, and said without interest.

“Forget about honoring you, isn’t it enough to know you, Shelley?” Locke said with a chuckle.

He was right. In terms of status, the most honorable King present was a head shorter than Shelley. In terms of strength, the first-level knights were among the top of the entire Franza Kingdom.

In the banquet, Shelley didn’t wear her usual armor, but put on a black lace dress, noble and sexy.

No wonder so many male beasts in the Palace of Knights are looking at Shelley. If you really want to dress up, Shelley’s appearance is not much worse than those of Locke’s beauties.

The three first-level powerhouses sat here, regardless of their status, just the crushing aura at the level of life made Franza’s nobles dare not come forward at will.

Gradually, there were a lot fewer participants walking around the three of Locke.

“Lock, I heard that you are a prince?” Shelley leaned over and asked in a low voice.

“Well, I am the prince of Faustain Kingdom.” Locke nodded, this is not a secret that cannot be told.

“Then look…” Shelley bit his lip and said, “Can you, Faustin, have any business relationship with us in Franza? Many of our industries in Franza are good.”

After a good banquet, Shelley began to sell Franza’s various specialties to Locke.

Locke turned his head to look at Hals, Hals just pretended not to see it, took the dinner plate and went to the banquet banquet to find something to eat, without the airs that a marquis should have.

“Um, you have to know that Faustin is far away from Franza.” Locke said with some worry, he saw Shelley’s intention.

“It doesn’t matter, we Franza will send a caravan to the Omor Empire every year, I believe you Faustin will also send a caravan to Princeton?” Shelley further said.

Strictly speaking, Faustin is located in the south-central part of the Mysia continent, while the Kingdom of Franza is located in the north of the Mesia continent.

The distance between the south and the north can no longer be achieved by a simple manpower.

It is Locke and his group of first-class knights who travel to and from the motherland and the Omor Empire. They also use floating ships. If those caravans want to do business, they need to go step by step.

“I’ll help you and the king, but don’t expect too much.” Locke vaccinated Shelley first.

Faustin’s caravan to the Omor Empire every year is very small, just one or two hundred people, plus half of the accompanying guards and noble youths studying abroad, there is no commercial trade in essence.

“It’s okay, thank you, Locke.” Shelley smiled.

Being a knight is really tiring for her. She has to practice hard and spare part of her energy to take care of the country.

Unlike Locke, who usually cares about the Kingdom of Faustin, every year when the envoys of the Kingdom of Faustain come to Princeton, Locke will meet them and collect the cultivation supplies that Uncle Kensell gave him.

King Kensell treats Locke much better than other domestic first-class knights, thirty high-grade spars a year, and some domestic specialty materials, Locke didn’t care to call him ‘big brother’ for nothing.

“Prince Locke, are you interested in dancing with me?” Shelley took off her white gloves and invited Locke.

“It’s a great honor.” Locke smiled slightly, and took Shelley’s lush hand.

Locke’s dancing skills are not low, and Angelina and Grace are among them. Over the years, Locke’s dancing skills have also improved greatly.

For half a month in the Kingdom of Franza, Locke lived very comfortably. Winter was approaching, everything was covered in silver, and there were few pedestrians outside.

Hals took Locke and led his marquis mansion guards on a vigorous winter hunting activity on the vast Kosdaya Ice Field.

What he ate was freshly roasted snow deer, and what he drank was Franza’s famous wine vodka. Locke was confused when he drank it for the first time.

Hals once asked his adjutant of the guard to perform the magic trick of breathing fire after drinking a sip of vodka.

“Your lieutenant can become a half-magic apprentice!” Locke pointed at the bearded man with a smile and cursed.

“He’s a fart magic apprentice. The temperature of the flame is less than 300 degrees, and it takes a lot of effort to grill the meat.” Hals disagreed, “It would be almost the same if the alcohol concentration was higher.”

When the adjutant heard this, a strong man like a bear was so frightened that his arms trembled and he added more alcohol to the alcohol concentration of vodka, so what he drank was not wine, but pure alcohol.

The brawny man thinks that with his high-ranking attendant’s physique, one or two bottles of pure alcohol will be fine, but who is free to drink poison?

“Have you been to the headquarters of the Knights Hall?” Locke, who was riding a sled in the ice and snow, asked Hals next to him.

“I’ve been there twice, nothing interesting.” Hals said, “By the way, isn’t your mission for next year coming soon? You can take this opportunity to visit the headquarters.”

“That’s good.” Locke said, he has completed four years of the ten-year mission, and when he goes to the Knights Hall to pick up the mission next month, he will see if he can ask Raleigh to change the mission to the headquarters.

Half a month later, Locke took the lead to return to the Omor Empire, and Shelley, Hals and others said they would stay for a few more months.

Locke was not alone along the way, because he was accompanied by two first-class knights: Cobb and Temple.

The two of them are two of the few remaining first-class knights in the Kingdom of Franza, and they will go to Princeton together this time.
