Chapter 478: The Bili Family
I stayed at home for two days and lived a refreshing life day and night. Don’t be too happy in Locke’s little life.
It was just that Rafi was suffering. She was still a mid-level attendant so far. How could she withstand the endless impact of Locke's human-shaped beast throughout the night?
Two days later, in a carriage, Rock headed to a medium-sized store located in Princeton's East Side.
This is a shop open to knights and magicians. The goods in the shop are very diverse, including armor, potions, and many rich varieties of magic plants, ores, etc.
In addition to four or five diligent clerks, there was an old man with nearly half of his hair sitting in front of the counter at the back of the shop.
The old man was wearing single-frame lenses with gold edges and was holding tweezers to observe a gray-black stone in front of him, but he did not notice Locke walking into the store.
"Sir, do you need anything?" The young female clerk with a beautiful face came over and asked earnestly.
She didn't feel any powerful aura on Locke, but judging from Locke's clothes and the luxurious carriage outside the door, she was definitely not an ordinary person.
This store is not only open to magicians and knights, but some nobles with strong financial resources will come here to see what new things are there if they have nothing to do.
The female clerk regarded Locke as a young child from a certain noble family.
The female clerk did not feel the powerful aura of Locke. First, the female clerk himself had no strength and had only learned the superficial fighting spirit. He wandered in the entry-level attendant stage. Second, thanks to Locke's promotion to the first level for a long time, he can now partially control the fluctuations of his leaked energy.
"I'll find your store manager." Locke said straight to the point.
The shop outside the door clearly engraved with the badge of the Beli family, and Locke is sure that he has come to the wrong place.
The female clerk first showed doubts. Seeing that Locke was indeed performing extraordinaryly, she turned around and called the white-haired old man who was studying a certain ore.
"Hello, do you have anything to help?" After a while, the white-haired old man walked out and asked politely to Locke.
He was not as unseen as a female clerk. If he was far away, the old man could feel the extraordinary aura of the person in front of him. He was a member of the powerful noble family, or a powerful knight or magician. The old man guessed in his heart.
"Haha, Wall, you don't know me anymore?" Locke smiled at the old man in front of him.
"You are" Old Man Wall held the single-frame glasses on his right eye, looked at Rock carefully, made a memory statement, and then said with an incredible expression, "Are you Lord Rock?"
More than ten years ago, when Locke was studying at the Royal Academy of Imperiality, he had come to Bili's store with Jokin, Angelina and others.
This is the largest store that the Bili family can rank among many industries in Princeton, and can earn 200,000 to 300,000 yuan for the Bili family every year.
When converted into energy crystals, there are nearly 40 high-level energy crystals, which cannot be regarded as a big money tree.
People in the position of Old Man Wall have developed the ability to remember since childhood. In addition to being the store manager, he is also an appraiser, who is used to identify certain rare items that are rarely seen in normal times.
Locke was with Beli
Here, Bili is the most favored little princess in their family. It is reasonable for Wall to remember Locke's appearance.
It was because of the recognition of Rock, Wall still couldn't believe that the young man in front of him was Rock. You know, it's been more than ten years since the last time Rock and Beli came to this store. Has it been more than ten years since Rock and Beli came to this store?
Wall was a middle-aged man in his early thirties more than ten years ago, but today, more than ten years later, he is an old man with half his feet buried.
"I'm here to find Bili. Can you contact her now?" Locke asked.
It's also funny. The family of several female companions in the team once knew where, Qiao Jin's family and Dai Ni's family were, and even the two families were passers-by, but the only one Bili's family had never visited.
So much so that Locke needs to come here to ask for directions first.
"Are you looking for a lady? The lady comes back to the store every three days to inspect, and will come this afternoon. Or should I give you the address of the lady's house?" Old Man Wall said respectfully, and changed you to you in his words.
If he still couldn't see Locke's extraordinaryness at this time, he could die. As he grows older, he will become more and more refined. Locke's appearance will not change much after more than ten years. This is a reminder in itself!
"Okay, I'll go to her house to find her." Locke said. It's not long before the sun is coming out in the morning. Isn't it a waste of half a day to let him wait until the afternoon?
After obtaining the address of Belie's home from Old Man Wall, Rock took a carriage to the central area of Princeton.
In the carriage, Locke was quite puzzled by the word "Miss" revealed in Old Man Wall's words. Among the nobles, only women who are not married will be called Miss, and after a woman gets married, she will change her name as Madam.
Why is Raffi still called Miss Grace? It is because in addition to master and servant, they also have a sense of deep sisterhood. Grace cannot be considered a marriage. She and Locke did not hold a wedding. At present, Locke's true wife is Angelina, and the others are all considered his women.
Is Bili not married yet? This is what Locke is wondering. After so many years, no one is the young man and woman who were ten years old at the time. Even if Bili is younger than Locke, she will be thirty-one or two this year.
It is very rare among nobles at this age. The pressure given by the family alone is probably quite large.
With a little doubt, Locke came to the door of Bili's house.
This is a medium-sized mansion that is quite luxurious in secluded and luxurious. The mansion that Bilock placed on Shansher Street is more than twice as luxurious.
Moreover, finding such a villa in the city near the center of Princeton also demonstrates his outstanding identity.
Before knocking on the door, the door of the luxurious mansion opened on its own. A group of people inside were headed by an old man in brown clothes, warmly welcomed Locke's arrival.
"You are Lord Rock, please come in quickly." The old man gave Rock a feeling that he was not young, but his body still showed a sense of toughness.
How did this group of people know that Locke would come? Needless to say, it must be Old Man Wall's side. He used some means to convey information. Under the premise that the distance was not far, some low-level magic message transmissions could be afforded by such a family of considerable strength.
In addition, there must be a knight attendant or advanced magic apprentice in this mansion who is good at perception, so that Locke can discover his arrival as soon as he approaches.
After shook hands with the old man in the garment, Locke noticed the emerald green figure in the crowd. He hadn't seen him for eight years. Bili's overall appearance did not change much, but there were some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and became more mature.
"Mr. Locke, I happened to get a few silverfish and moonshines a few days ago. Today I will take it out to welcome you." The old man in the Chinese costume is named Over. He is the patriarch of the Bili family and the grandfather who loves Bili the most, and the title of Viscount of the Empire.
"Okay, okay." Locke nodded reservedly.
Silverfish and Yuebei are just good food in Princeton’s first-class knight circle. In the commercial street of Knights Hall, many shops have this delicious food.
But among Old Man Over, these two foods were among the few high-end ones he used to entertain the first-level strong men.
Everything is false when eating. Old Man Overer learned that Locke would come, and from the description and guesses of his retainer Wall, he understood that this might be a first-class knight.
Old man Over was first surprised, followed by ecstasy.
A first-level knight came to their family specifically, what does this mean!
Talk about cooperation? Yes! As long as you can see it, please take it.
Talk about feelings? Yes! Do you have any feelings for my granddaughter Bili? I absolutely support the old man.
After struggling in the Omor Empire for so many years, Old Man Over knew deeply what a reliable first-level powerful man meant to a viscount family that had grown to the extreme.
It can be said that in the Omor Empire, taking the imperial capital Princeton as an example, in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital, any family above the earl would almost never be able to stand successfully without the shadow of a first-class knight behind it.
Behind the Marquis family, there must be a powerful second-level land knight standing!
The Duke family further upwards are a clan that can live side by side with the members of the imperial royal family. It is said that the few Tiankongs in the empire who have been famous for hundreds or thousands of years have some indescribable relationships with these Duke families.
Old Man Over, who was hit on his forehead by such a big surprise, frequently toasted Locke at the welcome banquet held. This old man is probably in his seventies. He is considered a long-lived species among humans in the wizard world, and he is not afraid of just drinking himself to death.
During the banquet, Locke also revealed that the purpose of his trip was to discuss cooperation with your family.
This is not a rare thing. For a first-class knight who has just been promoted to live in Princeton, it is common to find several cooperative families.
Generally speaking, first-level knights will choose several earl families with good development or viscount families with considerable potential to cooperate.
The Bili family clearly meets this selection criteria.
Today, we can't talk about the specific cooperation regulations because the head of the family, Old Man Offer, was drunk and was helped by a group of people to rest.
