Chapter 8 Beautiful Lady Boss (II)
When Locke was done, the lady boss also came out with two plates of food. She first placed the food on a table, then went back to the bar and took out a candle that had already burnt to the size of a thumb. After lighting it up, the bar became slightly brighter. Sylcean noticed the newly wrapped package on the bar and the ground became a bit clearner. She understood something and there was a touched expression on her face. "Come to eat, my lord." Sylcean greeted Locke.
"Er... I told you to cook something casually and you really made something casually? Are we going to eat this for dinner?" Locke pointed at the two plates of black paste on the table in surprise. Locke recognized them. They were mashed potatoes. When Locke had been young, his family had not had a good harvest, or had encountered difficulties, they had often eaten this.
"This... this is the only food I have here. I'm sorry, my lord." Sylcean said in a low voice with a red face. Perhaps she thought of something and felt like crying again.
"Forget it. I haven't eaten mashed potatoes for a long time. I'll just taste it to recall the past." Seeing that this beautiful lady boss was about to cry again, he quickly changed his words. To be honest, Locke was now a carnivorous creature that could eat meat every meal. It was really difficult for him to eat mashed potatoes with salt. Locke was very curious about what this woman was going through right now. If Locke were to exchange the small thumb-liked candle on the table for something in the military camp now, he would be able to get a delicious meal with meat. Candle was a high-end item, and most of them were used by nobles. Because of the complicated craftsmanship, the price was very high, and there were very few people who used it. Even if there were rich farmers and small merchants who had assets, they would only use a little. Uncle Joshak's military tent was only illuminated by oil lamps. As for Locke's military tent, they could only rely on torches to play cards and have fun at night.
"I'm just curious. You're a pretty famous bar owner. But you eat this every meal." Locke teased the lady boss who was about to cry. Then, without waiting for the lady boss to say anything, he picked up the plate that was filled with mashed potatoes and ate them up. He was really hungry. He had drunken a lot of wine in the afternoon and had not eaten anything. His stomach was burning up now.
When the lady boss heard this, she wanted to say something, but when she saw Locke's eating rudely, she swallowed what she wanted to say. Different from Locke's rude manner, Sylcean ate with a spoon, spoon after spoon, bit by bit, as if enjoying some delicious food, which looked very graceful. Although the food that Sylcean had given Locke was twice as much as hers, Locke still quickly ate up all the food, and he still had the intention of wanting more.
"You eat so fast..." Sylcean muttered, "Here you are, I can't eat it anyway. Please help me eat some more." Sylcean put half of the food in her plate to Locke. Locke was indeed not full. Seeing the beautiful lady boss give him her food, he did not say anything. He picked up the plate and continued to fight.
Sylcean put the last bit of mashed potatoes into her mouth. She looked up and found that Locke had already crossed his legs and was looking at her with a smile in his eyes. Sylcean couldn't stand this man's gaze. She quickly got up, put away their empty plates, and walked to the back kitchen.
When Sylcean came back again, the two of them sat on both sides of the table and became quieted again. Only the light of the short candle in the middle of the table was still swaying. "Tell me, why is your life so miserable? According to your situation, this should not be the case." Locke broke the silence and asked.
Looking at this man who intended to help her, Sylcean held back the excitement in her heart and told the truth, "Although my small tavern can make a profit of about 30 copper ducas per day. When the business is good, it can even reach 50 copper coins. But this money almost doesn't belong to me in the end." Sylcean lowered her head.
"Robbed by those local gangsters? Just like today?" Locke asked.
"Em..." Sylcean said in a low voice, as if she had recalled something bad. The beautiful lady boss showed a distressed expression.
"How is that possible? Don't they know that this tavern serves soldiers from the military camp? Where is your husband? Didn't he join the higher-ups in the camp? As long as he tells the higher-ups in the camp, I believe that someone will come to solve your problem." Locke was puzzled and asked in surprise.
"When people are hungry to a certain extent, they won't think too much. These gangsters are poor people who can't make a living. Now, only I and the women behind the tavern can give them money in this town." Sylcean explained the reason and added, "Moreover, my husband has long abandoned me..."
"Huh? Why?" Locke was really curious this time. This beautiful lady boss was abandoned by her husband. Was that person's brain kicked by a donkey? He had abandoned such a beautiful wife.
"Ever since he joined your army, he has become the most powerful person in Gizaton. Everyone in this town and the refugees who escaped from other places have to curry favor with him. How can he lack women now?" Sylcean smiled sadly and said, "Now, all the women behind the tavern are under his control, and he doesn't want his wife at all."
"Maybe he had wanted to compensate, so he had given me the tavern." Sylcean brushed her hair and continued, "At first, those hooligans were afraid of his fame and the soldiers who were drinking here. Later, they became hungry and didn't care about so much. Every time my customers left, they came to rob me. After many times, they also found that my husband actually didn't care about this tavern. Those hooligans also became more and more insatiable."
"Why don't you ask the soldiers who are drinking here for help? If you ask someone like me for help, there should be someone who will help you. After all, we still have to drink here." Locke asked.
"Even if they can help, they will only help me temporarily. Those hooligans will still rob me after that." Sylcean said sadly, "Now the ale in the tavern is all preserved in the past. Because of the sudden increase in prices and the robbery, I haven't brewed new wine for a long time. It is estimated that it will be sold out in less than a week. I may have to make a living like the women behind the tavern..." The beautiful lady boss' sad expression was pitiful.
"You want me to protect you all the time and not just teach those hooligans a lesson?" Locke crossed another leg and asked her.
Being seen through by Locke, the lady blushed and nodded slightly while biting her teeth.
"First, I am just a small Lieutenant. I have a total of ten people and there is training in the camp. I don't have enough people to stay here to protect you. Besides, maybe one day I will go for the war. Even if I protect you now, what will happen after I leave?" Although Locke wanted to help her, that was the truth. Locke was not a person who could easily be tempted by beauty. He rationally rejected the beautiful lady boss.
When Sylcean heard Locke's rejection, her face turned pale and her eyes showed a look of despair. The candle on the table had already burned to the bottom, and the faint flame was on the verge of disapperance. Finally, after burning out the last wisp of white smoke, it went out. The tavern fell into darkness again. The moonlight tonight was not bad. It shot in through the window. The faint moonlight shone on the two of them. The two of them were like stone sculptures with white wax.
"Uu... uu..." The beautiful lady boss let out a soft cry again. This miserable woman might have cried the most in a year today. She did not know what her future was. She was very confused and helpless. Locke was also helpless about this. This world was just like this. There was no love for no reason, and there was no hatred for no reason. Everyone had their own way of living. Even he could not guarantee that he could survive the war, let alone have the ability to take care of someone he did not know.
"Alas... I'll get a few people to watch over the tavern in the next few days. You can do business in peace for a few days, and then take the money you earn to the occupied territory, Peters Barony, or go to find your relatives." Perhaps moved by the lady boss' crying, Locke decided to do his best to help this beautiful woman and led her a way out. "This is all I can do." After saying this, Locke got up and prepared to leave. It was already late and they were about to close the camp.
After hearing Locke's words, the lady boss cried even louder. The woman's face was filled with tears, but she still cried, expressing her helplessness against the ups and downs of fate.
Locke slowly walked to the entrance of the tavern. He no longer tried to persuade her. If she wanted to cry, she should cry. Only after experiencing the suffering could she become stronger. The lady's cries gradually died down. Just as Locke walked to the entrance of the tavern and was about to move the wooden door, a warm body hugged him.
"I can't let you help me for nothing." The lady boss said in a hoarse voice, "I have nothing but this tavern and a few buckets of wine left. Other than myself, I can't think of a way to repay you." Locke could hear that besides the thought of repaying him, the beautiful lady boss also felt an extreme sense of grief.
"You don't have to be like this, we actually..." Before Locke could finish, a fiery tongue blocked his mouth. The beautiful lady boss, Sylcean, hugged Locke's strong chest and kissed him wantonly, blocking what he wanted to say.
Locke was not a person who could still endure under such circumstances. He had not touched a woman for almost a month. Being kissed so passionately by Sylcean was like firewood encountering a raging fire. He also began to respond to Sylcean roughly. He turned around and picked her up, preparing to deal with this charming demoness on the spot. "Not here, go upstairs..." Sylcean also felt dizzy after Locke kissed her passionately, but she was still sober and urged Locke to go upstairs.

Locke carried the hot and beautiful lady boss and strode up the stairs. Under Sylcean's guidance, they arrived at the innermost room upstairs. He rudely kicked open the door and threw the beautiful lady boss in his arms onto a big bed in the middle of the room. He took off his clothes at an extremely fast speed and pounced on Sylcean. For a moment, the room was full of romantic atmosphere.When the room finally became quiet. There was only the sound of the two people panting in the quiet room at this time. The bright moonlight shone through the window in the room. Sylcean held Locke's left arm, and her reddish cheeks looked more watery and attractive. She hoped that time could stay at this moment forever.After venting, Locke felt relaxed. He suddenly remembered a short black stick in the drawer of Uncle Joshak's tent. It was said to be called a cigar. It was Baron who had given it to him. He once saw that Uncle Joshak would always light a cigarette or two
Warpath of the Knight Chapter 10 Analysis
"Your battalion has the strength of a brigade. The highest commander is Baron Cadozzi, and even the Great Captain is a knight under the Baron. So if you want to continue climbing, you have to keep close to the Baron. Your contribution points just depend on a simple word of the Baron." Sylcean said."So I need to rely on Young Master Solon? He is the eldest young master in the territory, and he is likely to be the future heir of the Baron. If I rely on a young master who is not very powerful now, it is very likely that I will be admired and nurtured by the eledest young master." Locke was still a little smart. He immediately realized the reason why Sylcean had suggested that he join Young Master Solon."That's right. From your introduction, I feel that the most powerful person in your military camp is Lord Baron, followed by your captain and Young Master Solon." Sylcean explained, "Since Lord Baron and the Great Captain do not participate in the election of
Warpath of the Knight Chapter 11 Young Master Solon
This was a cyan tent of more than ten square meters. On both sides of the huge tent were many rare things. There were small red trees in the flower pots, and under the metal frame hanging in the air, there were pearls one after another, a grayish-brown bear skin, and an eagle-like wooden carving... In short, Locke knew some of the things that were very valuable. He did not recognize the other things, so they must be extraordinary things.In front of the tent was a wooden table glowing with orange light. On the right was a huge screen that blocked the view behind the screen. Locke judged that it was the place where Young Master Solon slept.A young man with light red pupils, black hair, and a tall and straight figure stood in front of the desk. He looked at the gray-haired man in front of him indifferently. His expression showed curiosity about this sergeant of the same age as him. The red-eyed young man was Solon. This symbolic characteristic showed that he

Indeed, in a war of over a hundred thousand people, the strength of a high-level attendant was only enough to protect himself. Locke continued. He and the others had been led by Uncle Joshak to fight against Karlian on the left side of Gaden Highlands. The pale yellow beautiful plain had been turned into a sea of dark red blood and corpses. The war had not been over yet.On the first day, their team had lost two people, and on the third day, there had been also casualties... Only a week had passed, and there had been only four people left in Jake's team. All the janissaries had been dead, and both the third-class soldiers had been either dead or disabled. The disabled one had been in the middle of the battlefield, and no one could have brought him back to the rear. After obtaining his consent, Uncle Joshak had taken action and given him a quick death. Both sides had not needed prisoners. Everyone had known this very well. Rather than being tortured to death after being

Locke did not know how he survived in that battle. He only knew that when he woke up again, he was under a eight-meter-high pile of dead people. It was a young man with a slightly child-like face and yellow hair who saved him. Locke told Young Master Solon that this young man was called Kane who was the same age as him, but he joined the army a year later than him.This was the first time Locke and Kane met. At that time, Kane did not know that Locke was still alive. He was just a soldier on the battlefield. He was ordered by unknown soldiers to gather the soldiers of his side who had died in battle and prepare for cremation. Locke was only dragged by him as a corpse that was about to be cremated.Fortunately, Locke did not die. He only fainted from excessive bleeding. It was at that time that Locke, who was weak and dying, was saved by half of Kane's chestnut cake. From then on, Locke, together with Kane who was like his little brother, had gone through th

Legio Sublimis and Legio Aquilae were required to take over Ellis City and Entel City which were capitals of the two provinces. Legio Leones, the King Corps, were required to head straight for Karlaw's Royal City, Oddis City that was located in the middle of the two provinces, which meant that Legio Leones would encounter the greatest resistance. Therefore, after taking down the two provinces, the two armies, Xiongyang and Xiongyang, had to immediately rush to help and break through Karlian's Royal City, so as to truly destroy this kingdom."This attack on Frances City is just a springboard. Legio II's other teams have almost conquered all the surrounding towns. The headquarters of the corps sent news that they asked us to meet up with them as soon as possible in the Beamon City." Baron Cadozzi continued."The Beamon City..." The tent immediately rang with whispers. It seemed that everyone present was familiar with this city. This was the central city of th
Warpath of the Knight Chapter 15 Election
After a long time, it was finally Locke's turn. Captain Mont was the first one to vote. "I think this boy is still too young. He should train for another two years." Then he stopped talking. Mont didn't know if it were for an illusion or not. He felt that Young Master Solon glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally. A bad feeling suddenly arose in him. However, he didn't pay too much attention to it. Perhaps it was just an illusion.Next, it was the Deputy Captain of the first squadron. He was no stranger to Locke. The first time he met Locke was after the end of the Battle of Goden Highland. He, covered in blood, came to the military camp that had just been built not long ago. If not for the military uniform of Faustine Kingdom, he might have been shot to death by the archers before he even got close to the camp.At that time, he was just Lieutenant of a small team who led his men to guard the gate of the camp. Locke brought a young man who was about

Everyone felt quite nervous, and even those subordinates who were mischievous at ordinary times did not jump out at this time, because they knew that this was a matter related to their boss' future. If anything was wrong, they would be finished.Everyone glanced at the dark green tent at the center of the camp. Finally, the tent opened and a few Captain walked out.A few clever young men greeted Captain, "Uncle Mont, you are here." "Hello, Captain!"...However, Captains had something on their mind and ignored the surrounding soldiers who were trying to please them.

Princeton was big, and exactly how big it was was evident by the fact that it housed nearly four million inhabitants in a single city, equal to the total population of two Faustian kingdoms.So the incident of the convergence of high-ranking knights that happened in the northeast city had little or no effect on the people of the entire imperial capital.The Royal Academy's campus was relatively cold today, one was that the vacation hadn't ended yet and the students were still busy with their trial quests, and the other was that call-up order issued by the Knight's Hall.The Imperial Royal Academy had a total of six branches, and the Knight branch accounted for four of them, and the Magician branch only had two, so in the school, most of them were still knights in the majority.If one were to ask what place in Princeton had the most high-ranking squires, it would probably have to be the Imperial Royal Academy, in addition to the branch of the Knight's Hall.

A Third Grade Grand Magician sighed as he walked out."Yeah, and several more third level magicians were sent a year ago, even that guy from Undisguised Mask went there!"
