Chapter 242 How long can I snore?

Marching all the way through a dense forest, Locke looked at the smoke rising from the village not far away, and thought that he was almost there. The village in front of him was the village next to the potion garden where the potion master was.

Thinking like this, Locke turned his attention to the road, and then saw a dark-skinned middle-aged man not far ahead, carrying a basket and singing an unknown country song.

"Wait a moment!" Locke proactively called out to the other party.

"Who are you?" Seeing the stranger suddenly appearing, the middle-aged man frowned and showed a vigilant look. Their village was very remote and few outsiders showed up.

"My name is Locke, and I want to ask you something." With that, Locke had an extra silver coin on his fingertips: "If your answer satisfies me, this will be yours."

Seeing the silver coin in Locke's hand, the middle-aged man's eyes flashed with light, and he said with a smile: "If you want to know anything, just ask, but don't wait too long, I have to deliver the food."

I took a look at the basket in the hands of the villagers. Most of it was covered with cloth, but perhaps due to carelessness, I could see that it was exposed in one corner, which contained white bread and wine bottles.

He frowned slightly. This is not scientific at all. The era of the fairy tale world is generally compared to the European Middle Ages. This middle-aged man knew from the calluses on his skin and hands that he must be a farmer. He had never heard of any ordinary villager. Can afford white bread and wine.

With this in mind, Locke still asked: "Do you know there is a place nearby where many magical plants are planted?"

"Who are you and why are you asking about this?" Locke's question made the man immediately alert.

"I am a friend of the master, and I came here specifically to visit her."

"Impossible. I have lived here for more than ten years and I have never heard of anyone visiting that big shot. Why would you..." Halfway through his words, the middle-aged man was attracted by the gold coins in Locke's hand.

"You only need to take me to the master's potion garden. You don't have to do anything else. It is yours." Locke said slowly.

"This..." The middle-aged man swallowed, hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and took the gold coin from Locke's hand.

Next, Locke followed the middle-aged man all the way until he saw him coming into the forest, and then took out a green ring from his arms.

Raising his eyebrows slightly, he was sure that this man was a thoroughly ordinary person, but Locke sensed the fluctuation of magic power on this ring.

Locke could feel that he passed through a barrier with the help of the path guided by this ring. Locke followed him. After passing through the barrier, he found that the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

In the originally dense forest, an open space appeared, with a stone tower in the center. This tower had no stairs or doors. Only a window could be seen at the top of the tower. .

There were various plants growing on the surrounding land, and Locke knew that this should be the potion garden.

‘Sure enough, this villager is delivering food to the Potions Master. ’ Locke thought to himself, watching the villagers put baskets of food under the tower.

"I don't know if you are lying to me, but if you make any small moves, the big man will naturally teach you a lesson."

After saying that, the middle-aged man left in a hurry, and Locke just stood there, looking at the middle-aged man thoughtfully: "If nothing else happens, he should be the father of that girl Rapunzel."

The fairy tale of the Lettuce Girl is also quite famous. It mainly tells the story of a villager whose wife was greedy and asked the villager to steal the lettuce from the witch many times. Later, the witch caught her.

The witch said she would not let them go until their unborn daughter was given to her.

The couple reluctantly agreed, and the witch fed the villager's wife lettuce every day. After their daughter was born, she took the girl away and let the girl live in a high tower.

Later, a prince accidentally saw Rapunzel and fell in love with her. Once he saw the witch asking Rapunzel to let down her hair and climb upstairs to him. He used the same method to meet Rapunzel, and the two soon fell in love.

After the witch found out, she left the lettuce in the deserted wilderness. The sad prince jumped from the tower and was blinded.

Until a few years later, the wandering prince reunited with Lettuce in the wilderness. Lettuce's tears cured the prince, and the two lived happily ever after.

Based on what the Queen told Locke before, it was obvious that the Potion Master regarded Rapunzel as his heir, but Rapunzel was seduced by the prince. Locke felt that the Potion Master was being good-tempered by not killing the prince directly.

After all, in this era, disciples are really like children. When the prince seduces the girl, it is actually equivalent to breaking the inheritance of the potion master.

Locke waited under the tower for a while, and finally saw an old woman wearing a pointed hat and dark green robe appearing in front of him: "Who are you?"

"Hello, Potion Master, I am sent by the queen to deliver a letter to you." Locke saluted and took out the prepared letter from the queen.

"The Black Witch Queen?!" The potion master frowned and said, "Didn't I already reject her invitation? I'm not interested in being a teacher in a magic school. I still want to live a few more years with this old bone. I don’t want to attract the attention of the Holy See.”

"I think it's best for you, Master, to read the Queen's letter." Locke said slowly:

"Master, do you think that as long as we don't provoke the Holy See, they won't come to us? So how many of the old god bloodlines that have been eliminated by the Holy See so far have actively provoked the Holy See?"

The potion master was silent and did not answer. She knew what Locke meant. Most of the time, it was not the blood of the old gods that wanted to cause trouble, but the Holy See itself that was constantly hunting down the blood of the old gods.

"If the news I got when I came is correct, the power of the Holy See has developed rapidly in this country over the years. Now the king and most of the nobles have believed in the Lord of Holy Light. Do you think the Holy See will always be with you? Will you go down in peace?"

Locke said slowly: "I have heard a saying, no one should be allowed to snore on the side of the bed. I wonder how long the Holy See will allow you to snore here, Master?"

These words pointed directly at people's hearts, like a sharp sword, making the potion master who had always been unwilling to think about this issue couldn't help but feel his heart sinking.

She doesn't want to cause trouble and lives her life quietly, but how long can such a stable life last?
