Chapter 13 Return to the Village
"I'm back."
After getting off the luxurious carriage and looking at the familiar place around him, for a moment, Locke actually felt like "a young man who left home and returned home".
"Uncle Fulin, I'm home. Please send this carriage back to President Rucci."
The man Locke calls "Uncle Fulin" is the coachman who has been driving Locke's carriage for the past two months.
In terms of driving skills, Fulin is the best driver in the Lucci Chamber of Commerce, with more than 40 years of driving experience.
Otherwise, President Rucci would not have asked Fulin to drive Locke.
However, after hearing Locke's words, Fulin showed a panicked look on his face: "Lord Locke, what did I do wrong that made you dissatisfied?"
"If you tell me, I will definitely change it."
"No, Uncle Fulin, I am very satisfied with you."
"Lord Locke, why do you want to fire me?"
"Oh?"
Locke was a little strange: "Uncle Fulin, I just asked you to return to President Rucci."
"Besides, you are not my employee, when can I fire you?"
"Lord Locke, you don't know..."
Fulin bent over and said to Locke with a grimace: "President Rucci told me that this car and I completely belong to Mr. Locke from the moment we loaded it."
"President Rucci also paid me ten years of remuneration. If you ask me to go back and not serve Lord Locke, President Rucci will definitely fire me and ask me to return all my remuneration."
"Lord Locke, you can't let me go. I've already found a wife for my son with all that money. If you don't let me go and don't have the money to return to President Rucci, our family will have no way to survive..."
Hearing what Fulin said, Locke frowned.
To be honest, he was very disgusted with this arrangement that was similar to moral kidnapping.
Why, Lu Qi paid the remuneration and it was you who benefited. Why should I pay for the benefits you have already received?
Even if you are fired by Lucci, then you are fired. From what you say, you are still blaming me for being fired?
I am polite to you because I have self-cultivation.
But if you take my politeness to you as a reason to coerce me, then I'm sorry. I hope you won't regret it when I don't want to show restraint to you!
Therefore, Locke's tone was slightly cold.
"Fu Lin, I told you, I'm home and I want you to send the carriage back."
Fulin looked up and was about to say something, but when he saw the cold look in Locke's eyes, he felt a chill in his heart.
The master I gave him this time was different from the previous ones.
This master is a magician who killed nearly a thousand people in just a few minutes!
In the past two months, because Fulin was a rock coachman, all the old gentlemen in the past had greeted him with a smile.
Unconsciously, Fulin was confused about his position.
Now, Locke's words directly knocked Fulin from the top of the cloud.
When I woke up, I almost cried because of my stupidity when I thought about my previous behavior.
Such a thick thigh, so offended by yourself?
"Yes, yes, Lord Locke, I will go back right now."
With a grimace on his face, Fulin quickly turned around and drove back on the same road, fearing that he would be killed by Locke if he was too late.
After watching the carriage go away, Locke slowly walked into the village.
Here is Locke's hometown in this world, Pu'er Village.
It is called this because the land here is very suitable for growing a medicinal material called "Pu'er". This medicinal material has a good effect on stopping bleeding and removing blood stasis and is very popular among soldiers. Whether practicing or fighting, warriors are very vulnerable to injury.
At this time, there is a good medicinal material that can help soldiers quickly recover from their injuries. Absolutely no soldier can refuse it.
Relying on this livelihood, the villagers in Pu'er Village live a relatively prosperous life.
Of course, with medicinal materials such as "Pu'er", people in Pu'er villages will also practice.
Although there are no strong men above level seven, there are also many warriors at level six.
After Locke entered Pu'er Village, someone immediately reported the news that a magician had come to the village to the village guard.
As Locke walked, he recalled and looked for the direction of his home.
After all, Locke was only seven years old when he left.
Now it has been sixteen years, and the layout and location of the village have undergone some changes. It will still take some time for Locke to find his former home.
"Dear Master Magician, I am the captain of the Pu'er Village Guard Team. Welcome to our village. Is there anything we can do for you?"
While Locke was looking for his hometown, a middle-aged strong man came to Locke and asked Locke.
"Huh? Are you, Captain Kallet?"
Seeing this middle-aged strong man, Locke felt somewhat familiar. After a brief recollection, he suddenly realized and asked.
"Mr. Master, do you know me?"
When Locke called out his name, the middle-aged man named Kallet was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully.
Locke smiled.
Kallet is the most talented warrior of Locke's father's generation.
At the age of twenty-seven, he had already reached the sixth level of warrior. He was so powerful that he became the youngest guard captain in Pu'er Village.
Before Locke could detect his affinity with the water element, he regarded Kallet as his idol and wanted to join the Pu'er Village Guards and become a strong man.
I haven't seen him for more than ten years. Carlet is nearly fifty years old, and he is stronger and more mature than he was more than ten years ago.
But obviously, Kallet did not join the Frost and Snow Empire's army, and did not obtain the fighting qi skills. Although he seemed to be stronger than more than ten years ago, he failed to break through the gap between sixth-level warriors and seventh-level warriors.
"Captain Kallet, it's me, Locke of the Manra family."
"From the Manla family?"
Hearing what Locke said, Kalette instantly remembered who Locke was.
Even though there were a lot of magicians during the battle between the Frost and Snow Empire and the Temple of Light, that number almost covered the entire Wakanda plane.
Well, of course, the most important thing is that the Wakanda plane is currently a plane where the main god of water, Philos, and the main god of light, Augusta, are competing for their faith. In this plane, there are currently only water magicians and light magicians.
This makes the number of official magicians in Wakanda very few.
Fourteen years ago, Pu'er Village detected a boy with an affinity for the water element. Over the years, it has still been a hot topic among villagers in the village.
A magician, that is a big man who is much more noble than a warrior.
Warriors do not have fighting qi skills. Unless they have stronger blood power, they can cultivate their body's strength to level seven.
