Chapter 399: bottleneck

"How do you feel about the marquis?" In the city of Diesel, the prosperous king of steel, just walked out of the marquis mansion and sat on the carriage and asked Angelina.

"Marquis Cheges, I feel like a smart businessman." Angelina defined that.

"Haha." Locke smiled.

The well-known hard-line main faction in the Iron Kingdom, turned out to be a shrewd businessman, and Locke was very interested in Angelina's answer.

Was Forstein taking advantage of his efforts to ease the contradiction with the Kingdom of Steel Ze, or was the Kingdom of Steel Ze taking advantage of the situation to pull Forstein into their chariot and jointly add a bargaining chip to win the Andoha Basin.

This is an unaccountable account.

A few days later, after being personally received by the current King of Steel and conveying the goodwill brought by King Kensell, the princes, Locke and Angelina, were warmly welcomed by all the nobles of the Steel Kingdom.

The king even wanted to hold a special dance party to catch the wind and dust to Locke, and was eventually rejected by Locke.

Diesel City does not have as many high-rise buildings as Flor City, but it has a large area, which is almost one third of the city of Flor City, the capital of Forstan.

This is related to the cultural customs and geographical location of the Gangze people.

Gangze people don't like tall buildings, they prefer spacious courtyards; and the capital of the Kingdom of Diesel, Diesel City, is located in a hilly area. The stone here is mainly weathered rock, which is not suitable for building high-rise buildings.

After a week's stay in the Kingdom of Iron and Steel, admiring the scenery of other countries and tasting the specialty ‘sweet wine’ here, Locke took Angelina back to Forstan.

"This kind of wine is only loved by those nobles. I don’t like it." Locke grumbled with the hip flask in his hand. The liqueur was sweeter than the wine he had drunk, and there was no authentic liquor at all. It should be spicy.

"Don't forget that you are also a noble, His Royal Highness." Angelina hammered Locke's chest strangely, reminding him of his identity.

"Then Princess, I want to do some interesting activities with you." Locke laughed and started.

"Hey, here is the carriage..."

"It's okay, there is enough space."

"There are maids outside..."

"Can't you just set up a sound insulation technique?"

"It's still daytime..."

"It's more fun to do during the day."

Without giving Angelina any chance to make excuses, Locke arrogantly blocked her mouth.

Two weeks later, this branch set off in winter last year, after two and a half months, and finally returned to the city of Flor when the crops sprouts in the fields in the early spring and the soil broke.

After the Chinese New Year, Locke, who has reached the age of thirty, officially got rid of the youth and marched towards the middle age.

"The beard is growing again!" Kristin rubbed his head on Locke's chin and carefully rocked Locke's beard.

"Itch." Locke shook his head uncomfortably. He had just finished a whole set of strength training and sweated.

"Do you want me to pull it off for you?" Kristen said badly.

"Forget it, your aunt will shave me back." Locke refused. The girl was so eccentric, and sometimes even Locke couldn't resist.

"Humph, I know I'm petting my aunt." Kristin started a small temper.

After the age of thirty, Locke lost a little of the young man's sharpness, and added a little calmness.

This steady temperament is great for the little girl like Christine.

It’s not just Christine, I don’t know how many maids in the palace, hoping to be favored by His Royal Highness.

Among the nobles, the phenomenon of bringing maids into the house is very common. Many civilians try to send their daughters to the noble family, hoping to be favored by the noble one day, and then fly to the top.

After completing the established strength training task, Locke walked towards the training room in casual clothes.

In order to ensure the comfort and quietness of the cultivation environment, there are multiple practice rooms and meditation rooms in the Prince's Mansion. The women such as Locke and Angelina have not pulled down their own cultivation progress in the years after returning to China.

Like a classmate, following Locke to the door of the practice room, after watching Locke enter the practice room, Christine said sweetly, "Brother, I'm waiting for you outside."

Rock waved his hand to show that he knew it. At the beginning, he urged Christine to study hard and improve her fighting spirit and magic knowledge.

Unexpectedly, this is all superfluous. Kristin's special talent is not comparable to Locke on the road of knights, and Angelina on the road of the magician, but the speed of the two roads going side by side is really surprised.

So far, Christine has become a mid-level knight servant, and has touched the threshold of an intermediate-level magic apprentice, and has been promoted to an intermediate-level magician.

Why Christine’s level of vindictiveness can be magical is inseparable from Locke’s tireless daily teaching. (This girl haunts Locke all day long.)

In the practice room, there are dots of fluorescent dots all around, the light is only fluorite for lighting, there are dozens of them, and the degree of luxury can be seen.

Sitting cross-legged on the brocade mat, Locke spread out with one hand, and a bottle of singularly colored potion appeared in Locke's hands.

"There is only half left." Locke sighed.

After returning from the holy tower, Locke's several space rings are full of their own cultivation potions.

The holy tower is worthy of being the most holy place with the most magicians and the highest quality. It is difficult to see all kinds of potions, even the potions that are difficult to obtain with the power of the Forstan country. They are all sold there.

This precious potion named ‘Star Mark’ was purchased by Locke to help him break through the cultivation bottleneck.

The official knight level is more difficult to break than expected, even if Locke has gained the experience of multiple first-level knights in promotion, and sufficient cultivation potions.

On the breakthrough progress, it has always been far away.

"Go back and pick one in the treasury." Locke thought to himself.

Now it's time to use resources to diligently pile up levels. Quantitative changes cause qualitative changes. Locke doesn't believe that so many medicines are used, and the bottleneck will not be shaken.

Or the Qigong method is average, which is the main reason Locke is currently making it difficult to break through the bottleneck.

The fighting spirit of the eagle is placed in all the fighting qigong methods and can definitely be ranked in the middle.

But it is only the middle reaches.

Not to mention the entire Misia continent, even the Kingdom of Forstan, there are several kinds of qi that are superior to the eagle qi.

The replacement of exercises is accompanied by great risks and side effects. Only the entry-level servant stage can replace its own temperament attributes at a relatively small cost.

Locke wants to change his fighting spirit. Only when he reaches the formal knight level can he complete it with the absolute control of the formal knight's physical energy and a stronger physical body.
