Early the next morning, Locke left the Bodelford Chamber of Commerce. He changed his appearance and rode a white horse toward the west of the city.
Mi Lu reluctantly waved to him upstairs, with tears in her eyes. Locke had already said hello to Yaohui, and she would leave soon, taking her family to the northern border of Zhongdu.
Locke was riding leisurely on his horse, Hui Hui hiding in the dark, otherwise he would be recognized by a discerning eye.
After leaving Zozoi City, Locke did not stop and continued on his way until noon, when he stopped by a small stream.
Hui Hui poked his head out of the woods not far away, looked around and checked that no one was following him before running towards Locke.
"A few people were following me just now, but they left not long after." Locke said as he picked up Huihui onto the horse and rubbed its head.
"Is everything okay now?" Hui Hui whispered.
"It's okay! Let's keep walking." Locke pinched the horse's belly, and the white horse rushed out like a strong wind.
Before leaving, he purchased a map, a map of the entire continent. His current location was still a few months away from the western border of the Western Region.
This journey must be boring, but this is what he must go through, because the roots of the magic vine flower in his left hand have already reached the arm beyond his elbow.
"Hey... think more about beautiful things, physical and mental pleasure is the most important." Locke comforted himself in his heart.
In the blue sky, there are white clouds and white horses galloping on the vast grassland.
Huihui lay in Locke's arms with his back to the front, which is said to block the wind.
As the sun sets, the golden sunshine fills the grass, turning the place into a beautiful picture.
After running all the way, Locke came to a small village before dark, with a few sparse wooden houses, and smoke rising from the chimneys of every house.
"Let's stay overnight tonight and let's start again tomorrow." Locke said softly and Hui Hui nodded.
Slowing down the speed, he slowly walked into the village. The rich aroma of food was wafting in the air, and Locke's stomach growled unsatisfactorily.
At the door of a relatively affluent farmer's house, Locke got off his horse and knocked gently on the door of the household.
"Who is it?" an old woman asked as she gently opened the half-closed courtyard door.
"Old man, I'm passing by here and want to stay overnight again. Is it convenient?" Locke said with a soft smile on his face.
The old woman looked at Locke carefully and saw that he looked kind and did not look like a bad person, so she opened the courtyard door.
"Come in, the meal just happened to be ready. Let's pack it up and come over to eat." The old woman said with a smile.
Locke quickly bowed and saluted, feeling very grateful to the old woman.
He led the horse into the courtyard and found that there was already a black horse in the courtyard. It was about the same size as his white horse. It had bulging sinews all over its body. At first glance, it was a rare and good horse.
"This old man is quite rich. He can actually raise such a good horse. It costs a lot of money in terms of fodder and maintenance." Locke muttered in his heart while tying up the horse.
"Mother-in-law, are there new guests?" A pleasant voice sounded, the kitchen door opened, and a girl in an apron came out.
Locke heard the sound and looked around, and was immediately stunned. She was a girl with stunning beauty. Her big silver waves were combed into a ponytail, and she had a pair of eyes of different colors. She was wearing an apron because of cooking, and there were some spots on her forehead. beads of sweat.
The main reason why Locke was surprised by this beauty was her silver hair.
"Young man... young man..." The old woman gently pushed the dazed Locke.
"Huh? Oh...old lady..." Locke came back to his senses and looked at the old lady awkwardly, his face turning red unconsciously.
When the girl saw this, she covered her mouth with a puff of laughter, turned around and got into the kitchen again.
"Young man, what's your name? Where are you going?" The old woman asked Locke as she led Locke towards the main house.
"I'm Locke. I plan to go west. I don't know exactly where I'm going. I'll just take it wherever I go." Locke replied with a smile.
road.
"Locke, you have to pay attention to your safety when you go out alone." The old woman said.
"Mother-in-law is right." Locke replied gratefully.
"You, like Blanche, are young and struggling outside." The old woman introduced Locke into the room and said.
"Blanche? That silver-haired lady just now?" Locke asked doubtfully.
"Yes, Blanche is very kind-hearted and is a good girl." The old woman nodded.
Locke secretly wrote down this name in his mind.
"Mother-in-law, I can also cook, how about I go help Miss Blanche." Locke chatted with the old woman for a while.
"You look like a good young man, but you can't bully Blanche, or I'll kick you out." The old woman nodded and reminded.
Locke smiled and nodded, leaving Hui Hui in the room, then left the room and headed towards the kitchen.
After gently knocking on the kitchen door, Locke opened the door and walked in.
Blanche turned her head slightly and was startled when she saw Locke coming in: "Why are you here?"
Locke scratched his head and said, "I came here to see if there is anything I can do to help?"
"I'm not asking you this, I'm asking you why you came to this village?"
Locke was stunned again when he heard this. He didn't quite understand what it meant.
"Okay, let me put it bluntly. You entered the Western Region Kingdom from the Central Capital Kingdom, and then made such a big fuss in Sazoi City. Why are you coming to this small village now?"
As soon as these words came out, Locke looked shocked and subconsciously touched the ring on his left hand with his right hand.
"Why are you so nervous? I just recognized you and said hello to scare you." Blanche put down the ham knife and smiled.
"Who are you?" Locke asked with narrowed eyes.
"Humph, I saved your life, and this is how you treat others? Besides, who asked you to stand in my house and attack me?" Blanche rolled her eyes at Locke and said.
"Save me? Were you the one who used the crossbow in the Blackstone Mountains that day?" Locke took two steps back and said.
"Of course, in order to save you, my invisibility cloak was broken." Blanche snorted and ignored Locke.
"It's really you. No wonder this hair and cloak feel familiar to me..." Locke was very excited, saying that the other person was really his savior.
If she hadn't stopped the Blackstone Shadow Leopard, she might not have had the chance to get close to the cave, and would have been eaten by the leopards before she even fell into the cave.
"Thank you Miss Blanche for saving your life. Locke will never forget it." As he said that, Locke did the standard magician etiquette, but he did not wear a hat.
"Why do you, a little golden knight, have to learn the etiquette of a magician?" Blanche asked with a smile. She was not angry just now, she was just pretending to show Locke.
Locke scratched his head, wondering whether to reveal his details to her.
"Silly..." Blanche looked at Locke's expression and said with a smile, then picked up the knife again and started cutting the ham.
"Can I help you?" Locke asked.
