The sunset sky looked particularly beautiful. Locke was still lying on the grass with his feet soaked and his eyes closed, looking at the red clouds floating in the wind with a tangled expression.
Finally, he seemed to have made a decision. He stood up and put Hui Hui, who was sleeping on a branch of a tree, onto his back and walked towards the town.
He is going to look for inheritance, so he has to separate from the team.
Returning to the Military Hall Station, he found Victor.
"Young Master, you call your subordinates to come here. What are your orders?"
Locke smiled, took out a crystal ball from the ring and handed it to Victor.
Victor took the crystal ball suspiciously, looked at Locke with a blank expression, and opened his mouth not knowing what to say.
"This is a screen ball, used to record events. I have recorded everything I want to say through magic. I have a task for you now. Can you complete it?" Locke explained carefully.
"I will definitely fulfill my mission!" Victor said immediately with his chest raised and his head raised.
"Okay, you will lead the team back to Thunder Fortress tomorrow and hand the Shadow Screen Ball into the hands of grandfather." Locke stood up and patted Victor on the shoulder.
"Subordinate to lead the team? Young Master, you..." Victor was stunned and asked cautiously.
"Oh, I have some things to deal with, so I won't go back to the fortress yet." Locke said with a smile.
"Young Master, this is not a joke. If you don't come back with us, we can't explain it. If...I mean if you encounter any danger, our lives won't be enough to compensate you." Victor looked angry. He comforted with a helpless expression.
"Don't worry, with Hui Hui here, I can protect myself below the Earth Knight. Everyone has seen his strength." Locke said again.
"Young Master, I can't guarantee this myself. If you really don't want us to follow you, you can go back to the fortress and talk to the Duke in person." Victor said with an embarrassed look on his face.
Locke sighed and sat down and said, "The place I want to go is in the west. It's a long way. It would be a detour if we start from Thunder Fortress."
Victor is very smart. This is not the time to agree to save Locke's trouble. If anything happens to Locke after he leaves, a hundred of them will be buried with him.
"Okay, okay, just take the screen ball and I'll think about it." Locke waved his hand and said.
Victor nodded and left the room.
After the door was closed, Victor put away his smile. The young master was trying to escape secretly. Otherwise, why didn't he take the screen ball back and instead keep it in his hand?
"What should we do..." Victor lowered his head and paced back and forth in the courtyard, muttering continuously.
"What happened? I saw you walking around here several times." Zuo Wei, who had gone out to explore with him before, came over and asked softly.
Victor raised his head and saw that the person coming was Zoe Wei. He quickly pulled him aside and said, "Something happened, something big happened."
"What's wrong? Why do you look like you've eaten a dead rat?" Zuo Wei asked with a confused look on his face.
"It's worse than eating a dead rat. Do you know what this is?" Victor said with a grimace as he handed the shadow ball in his hand to Zoe.
"Where did you pick up the crystal ball? You've made a fortune." Zoe Wei put the crystal ball in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.
"What a fortune. The young master said this is called a shadow ball, which is a magic ball used to store images. The young master asked us to take this back to the Duke." Victor said, holding on to the wall.
"Isn't that good? Master, you know how to respect your elders." Zoe Wei smiled and returned the screen ball to Victor.
"Hey... are you thinking, are you listening to me? I said... the young master asked us to take this back and give it to the Duke." Victor repeated it again.
Zoe tilted his head and looked at Victor, wondering why he would repeat himself again.
"I...I really want to beat you up. What kind of brain do you have? I'll tell you again. The young master asked...us...to take him back. Why not take him back by himself? It's because he has to leave the team to do things alone, and he doesn't Let us follow."
Zuo Wei's expression changed and he opened his mouth and shouted: "
You said the young master wanted to... wuwuwuwu. "
Before he could finish his sentence, Victor covered his mouth.
"Keep your voice down, no one knows yet." Victor gritted his teeth and said.
Zoe Wei nodded, and Victor let go of his hand.
"Then what should we do now?" Zuo Wei also looked serious and whispered.
"I've tried to persuade him just now, but it looks like he didn't persuade him to go in. I guess he will definitely run away tonight." Victor analyzed.
"Then shall we stop him?" Zuo Wei asked with narrowed eyes.
"I was thinking about this just now. It's definitely not possible to stop me. If I don't stop it, it won't make sense. The main problem is how we can explain to the superiors when we return to the fortress." Victor began to worry again. This time it was different. There was another worried person beside him. companion.
It was already late at night, and the door of Locke's room was gently opened, and two figures, one large and one small, rushed out. They did not choose the front door but rushed towards the wall behind the house.
Beside the broken wall, Locke looked around carefully. It was quiet and there was no sound, so he relaxed his vigilance and stepped over the wall with one foot.
At this moment, a fire suddenly lit up outside the wall. Locke was startled and twitched his legs quickly, but it was too late. A group of people also appeared in the direction they came from.
"Young Master, if you leave like this, we, a hundred people, really have no way to explain." Victor lowered his head and walked forward, holding a torch and said.
Locke knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, so he did not hide it and came to Victor openly.
"What I have to do this time is very important. It cannot be known to anyone except me, including my grandfather. And I have to do this, and no one can stop me."
Locke finished speaking in a deep voice, looking at the faces around him that were red by the firelight. He smiled and said, "Dear knights, please forgive me. I have some reasons why I have to go. I hope you all understand. Shadow Screen Ball I have left an image inside, if you take it back to the fortress and give it to your grandfather, he will definitely not blame you after seeing it."
Victor wanted to say something else, but Locke stopped him. He shook his head with an unquestioning look in his eyes.
"Thank you for your trust and companionship in me during this time. I, Rock Austin, am very grateful. Now I have to leave." After that, Locke walked directly past the crowd and walked towards the west.
"Aren't you going to pursue him?" Several knights who were familiar with Victor came over and asked in a low voice.
"You have also seen the attitude of the young master. What are you chasing after?" Victor said with a frown.
He turned to face the knights and said: "Young Master gave me the Shadow Screen Ball before leaving, and asked me to lead everyone back. The war in the fortress is tense now, and we still need our blood there. We will set off early tomorrow morning."
The knights looked at Victor with grateful eyes. At this time, it was really righteous for him to stand up and resist everything.
The city gate has been closed, and Locke climbed over the city wall with the help of Hui Hui.
The moonlight filled the earth, illuminating the road ahead.
