Chapter 14 Family
Otherwise, the peak of level six is the limit for humans.
As for magicians, as long as they have the ability of meditation and are not weak in talent, a small number of magicians can still cultivate to the seventh-level magician around the age of seventy.
However, it is impossible for a seventh-level great magician who is over seventy years old to break through to an eighth-level mage before the deadline of one hundred and twenty years. His achievements in this life will end there.
But no matter what, the strength and status of a level seven magician are higher than those of a level seven warrior.
Of course, no matter how poor Locke's talent is, he can at least reach the level of a high-level magician when he is in his seventies or eighties.
As a result, because of Locke, the Manla family received a lot of care from people in the village, and their family situation became much better than before.
After all, if Locke grows up in the future, he will definitely become Pu'er Village's biggest supporter.
After Locke said this, Carlett looked at Locke's face carefully for a few times and finally found some familiar features.
"It turns out to be little Locke."
After recognizing Locke, the tense nerves in Carlette's heart suddenly relaxed.
"The Manla family received your letter not long ago, saying that you would be back soon. I didn't expect you to come back so soon."
"Well, the Fifth Legion was defeated by the Temple of Light. During this period, I lived in Bidiya City. Until I was sure that the Fifth Legion would not be reorganized, I did not go to the army again and came back directly."
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back."
Carlette smiled and patted Locke on the shoulder.
Locke's willingness to return to Pu'er Village is definitely good news for Pu'er Village.
If Pu'er Tea had a magician in charge, then Pu'er Village would have enough confidence to resist no matter it was attacked by monsters or exploited by foreign caravans.
In general, with Locke's return, the income of the villagers in Pu'er Village will definitely increase dramatically.
After all, the previous caravan raised the price of medicinal materials a little because a magician appeared in Pu'er Village, but how could this increase compare to the increase that would come from the magician himself returning to the village?
"By the way, Locke, your father built a new house in the east of the village. Now your family has moved there. You can't find your parents here. You have to walk from this side and go straight ahead. You will arrive after passing a few intersections."
After recognizing Locke, Carlett instantly knew why Locke had been standing here for so long.
After all, Locke's childhood home was not far ahead. Now that Locke was back and didn't see his family in the familiar place, he would naturally feel a little confused.
At that moment, Carlett directly told Locke the current location of his home.
"Thank you, Captain Carlett."
After nodding gratefully to Captain Carlett, Locke immediately followed the direction Captain Carlett had indicated and after walking for about ten minutes, he arrived at the door of his home.
As for why Locke knew this was his home...
"Mother, I'm back."
Seeing the middle-aged woman who was dehydrating Pu'er at the door, Locke gently came behind her and whispered.
When the woman heard Locke's voice, she turned around suddenly, and was instantly overjoyed when she saw Locke.
The woman put down the Pu'er in her hand, wiped her hands on her clothes, and pulled Locke into the house.
Although I haven't seen him for more than ten years, a mother will never mistake her own child.
What's more, Locke had sent them a letter a few months ago, saying that he might come back after a while.
As he walked, he said to Locke, "Locke, you're back!"
"Have you eaten? Are you hungry?"
"Oh, you've lost weight..."
Although they were just some daily nonsense, Locke still deeply felt his mother's love for him.
"Brother!" In less than half an hour, a young man in his twenties and a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties walked into the house.
They were both very happy to see Locke.
One of these two people is Locke's father, Manla.
The young man was Locke’s three-year-old brother, Cole.
After confirming Locke's identity, Carlett immediately sent someone to notify Locke's father and brother, who then rushed back from the fields where they grew Pu'er.
Although we haven't seen each other for many years, the feelings between us have not faded with time.
Locke looked at the extra white hair and wrinkles on his father and mother's heads and sighed slightly in his heart.
My mother is just an ordinary village woman. Although my father has practiced for a period of time and served as a member of the village guard for a few years, he is still only a fourth-level warrior.
Moreover, my father's strength is beginning to decline, and he may only be at the level three warrior now.
As for his younger brother Cole, he is now at the peak of his powers, a level five warrior, and is currently on duty in the Pu'er Village guard team.
As Locke's strength increases, he can now vaguely feel a person's life state.
My mother has about twenty years left to live.
My father will live longer, about thirty years.
My brother’s life force is still very strong and he shows no signs of weakening, but his future is uncertain.
In the next few days, the villagers of Pu'er Village took turns to visit Locke's home. Locke did not put on airs as a magician in front of everyone. As a junior, he chatted with everyone in the village and listened to everyone praising their parents for raising such a promising child.
On this day, a horse-drawn carriage came to Pu'er Village and, led by a villager, came to Locke's house.
"President Luchi?"
When he saw President Luci, Locke was a little surprised.
He thought that President Luchi and the caravan members had already gone back.
"Lord Locke."
After seeing Locke, President Luci immediately stood up and bowed to Locke.
"Huolin offended you. I have fired Huolin and recovered the compensation paid to Huolin."
"Because Fulin had given the money to his son for his marriage, he was unable to repay the reward. His son and daughter-in-law also refused to repay Fulin's debt and have now been arrested and imprisoned..."
"Ah."
After hearing what President Luci said, Locke just hummed lightly.
Folin was just a driver who gave him a ride for a while and had nothing to do with him. He didn't need to be responsible for Folin's future.
Locke's attitude towards President Luci, and President Luci's attitude towards Locke, made the villagers who were watching the fun around feel more realistic about Locke's identity.
At the same time, I felt a little more proud.
This is the most promising child in our village!
Moreover, even if the children have become successful, they are still polite and modest towards their elders.
Seeing that Locke didn't react, President Luqi felt a little flustered.
He never thought that he just wanted to give Lord Locke a carriage and a coachman, but the coachman would actually anger Lord Locke.
Really, as stupid as a pig!
I hope Lord Locke is satisfied with the result of my handling and will not vent his anger on me...
