Chapter 13 Return to the Village
"I am back."

Getting off the luxurious carriage and looking at the familiar places around him, Locke suddenly had a feeling of "leaving home when young and returning home when old".

"Uncle Fulin, I'm home now. Please send this carriage back to President Luqi."

The man called "Uncle Flynn" by Locke was the driver who had been driving for Locke for the past two months.

In terms of driving skills, Fulin is the best driver in the Luqi Chamber of Commerce, with more than 40 years of driving experience.

Otherwise, President Luci would not have let Flynn drive Locke.

However, after hearing Locke's words, Fulin's face showed a panic: "Lord Locke, is there anything I did wrong that made you dissatisfied?"

"If you tell me, I will definitely change it."

"No, Uncle Flynn, I am very pleased with you."

"Then Lord Locke, why did you fire me?"

"Oh?"

Locke was a little surprised: "Uncle Fulin, I just want you to go back to President Lu Qi."

"Besides, you are not my employee. When can I fire you?"

"Lord Locke, you don't know..."

Fulin bent over and said to Locke with a bitter face: "President Lu Qi told me that this car and I have completely belonged to Master Locke since the moment we took Master Locke on board."

"President Luqi has paid me ten years of salary. If you ask me to go back and not serve Lord Locke, President Luqi will definitely fire me and ask me to return all the salary."

"Master Locke, you can't abandon me. I have used the money to find a wife for my son. If you don't want me and don't have the money to return to President Lu Qi, our family will have no way to survive..."

Hearing what Flynn said, Locke frowned.

To be honest, he was very disgusted with this kind of arrangement which was akin to moral kidnapping.

What? The remuneration was paid by Luqi and you are the one who benefited. Why should I pay for the benefits you have already obtained?
Even if you were fired by Luqi, then just be fired. From the sound of your voice, you want to blame me for being fired?
I am polite to you because I am well-mannered.

But if you take my politeness towards you as a reason to threaten me, then I'm sorry, but I hope you won't regret it when I don't want to show my tolerance towards you!

Therefore, Locke's tone was slightly cold.

"Folin, I told you I'm home now and I want you to send the carriage back."

Flynn looked up and was about to say something, but when he saw the coldness in Locke's eyes, he felt a chill in his heart.

The master I sent this time was different from the others in the past.

This master is a magician who killed nearly a thousand people in just a few minutes!
In the past two months, because Flynn was Locke's coachman, all the gentlemen who used to work there greeted him with a smile.

Before he knew it, Fulin couldn't figure out where he was.

Now, Locke's words directly knocked Flynn down from the top of the cloud.

When Fuli woke up, he thought about his previous behavior and almost cried because of his stupidity.

Such a thick thigh, and I offended it like this?
"Yes, yes, Lord Locke, I will go back right away."

With a bitter face, Flynn quickly turned the car around and drove back the way he came, fearing that it would be too late and he would be killed by Locke.

After watching the carriage go away, Locke slowly walked into the village.

This is Locke’s hometown in this world, Pu’er Village.

The reason for this name is that the land here is very suitable for growing a medicinal material called "Pu'er", which has a good hemostatic and stasis-removing effect and is very popular among soldiers. Whether it is training or fighting, soldiers are very easy to get injured.

At this time, if there is a piece of top-quality medicinal herbs that can help the soldiers recover from their injuries quickly, no soldier can refuse it.

Relying on this business, the villagers in Pu'er Village live a relatively wealthy life.

Of course, with medicinal herbs like "Pu'er", people in Pu'er Village will also practice it.

Although there are no strong men above level seven, there are still quite a few level six fighters.

After Locke entered Pu'er Village, someone immediately reported the news that a magician had come to the village to the village guards.

Locke walked and recalled, trying to find the direction of his home.

After all, Locke was only seven years old when he left.

Now sixteen years have passed in a flash. The layout and location of the village have changed. It will still take some time for Locke to find his former home.

"Dear magician, I am the captain of the Pu'er Village Guard. Welcome to our village. Is there anything we can do for you?"

Just as Locke was looking for his hometown, a middle-aged strong man came to Locke and asked him.

"Huh? Are you, Captain Carlett?"

Seeing this middle-aged burly man, Locke felt somewhat familiar with him. After a brief recollection, he suddenly realized and asked.

"Mister Mage, do you know me?"

When Locke called his name, the middle-aged man named Carlett was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.

Locke smiled.

Carlett was the most talented warrior of Locke's father's generation.

At the age of 27, he had already reached the sixth level of warrior. With his powerful strength, he became the youngest captain of the guard team in Pu'er Village.

Before Locke was detected to have affinity with water elements, he regarded Kalet as his idol and wanted to join the Pu'er Village guard team and become a strong man.

After not seeing each other for more than ten years, Kalet is now nearly fifty years old, and his aura is stronger and more mature than more than ten years ago.

But obviously, Kalet did not join the army of the Frost and Snow Empire and did not obtain the fighting skills. Although he seemed stronger than he was more than ten years ago, he was unable to break through the gap between level 6 warrior and level 7 warrior.

"Captain Carlett, it's me, Locke from the Manla family."

"Manla's?"

Hearing Locke say this, Carlett instantly remembered who Locke was.

Even though there were many magicians during the battle between the Frost Empire and the Temple of Light, that number almost covered the entire Wakanda plane.

Well, of course, the most important thing is that the Wakanda plane is currently the plane where the water god Philos and the light god Augusta compete for faith. In this plane, there are currently only water magicians and light magicians.

This makes the number of official magicians in the Wakanda plane very small.

Fourteen years ago, a young man with an affinity for water elements was detected in Pu'er Village. Over the years, this topic has continued to be talked about among the villagers.

A magician is a much more noble figure than a warrior.

Warriors do not have fighting skills, and unless they have stronger blood power, they can cultivate their body strength to level seven.
