Chapter 144 Target Golden Apple

"It's really ugly to laugh!"

Locke, who had been looking at these robbers calmly, said such a sentence calmly, which stunned all the robbers who were still laughing triumphantly.

The next moment, when Locke moved, he disappeared in place.

"Who gave you the courage..." With each word, the cross sword in Locke's hand flashed a cold light: "In front of me...you laugh so badly!"

When Locke finished his sentence, all the robbers left a deep sword mark on their necks, and warm blood sprayed out, staining the basement floor red.

Every bandit still had disbelief, fear, and despair in his eyes. As Locke shook off the blood on the cross sword and retracted the cross sword into its scabbard, they fell to the ground one by one.

After the completion of gun martial arts, Locke's marksmanship, mixed martial arts and cold weapon proficiency were all integrated into this skill.

Holding the cross sword at this moment, Locke can still deal with the enemy extremely accurately and quickly.

"No!!!" At this time, the old lady uttered a shrill voice, looked at the corpses lying on the ground, hugged the bandit leader, and cried.

"So this is the story of the Robber Bride?"

Recalling the fairy tales he had read, looking at the old lady and the girl brought back by the robbers, Locke thought to himself, and then looked at a wooden barrel behind the old lady.

Sure enough, a girl crawled out of the barrel, looked at the slain bandit, and said, "Hero, are you here specially to kill these bandits?"

"It just happened at the right time." Locke said lightly: "It's just their bad luck to meet me, which makes me feel bored."

"Anyway, thank you for killing these robbers. I am the daughter of a miller in a nearby village." The girl who climbed out of the barrel said:
"My father wanted to make a good marriage for me, and then a young man proposed to me..."

Sure enough, what the girl was talking about was the story about the robber's bride in the fairy tale. The bandit leader tricked the girl's father into getting engaged to him in the name of a marriage proposal.

After that, he invited the girl to come here as a guest.

Because she intuitively felt that something was wrong with the bandit leader, she left peas as a mark along the way, and when she got here, she met this old lady.

The old lady was actually the mother of these robbers, but she was kind-hearted and hid the girl in the barrel when the robbers did not show up.

"Thank you, great hero, you saved me from the dark abyss!"

"Yeah!" Locke nodded noncommittally, and said, "Just call me Locke."

Looking at the fallen robbers on the ground, Luo Luoxin thought that they were really a bunch of weak chickens, and after killing them, he finally gave a hundred potential points, which is a trip fee.

Quests can also be triggered in the fairy tale world, and now it seems that it has something to do with those fairy tales, but Locke still needs to know more about this world.

Thinking of this, Locke looked at the girl, the daughter of a miller, who should be able to get more information about this world from her.

The overall social form of the fairy tale world is similar to that of medieval Europe. Locke asked the miller about the general situation around him, and the miller could not know more information.

So after a few days, Locke bought an ordinary horse in the village and went to the nearest city.

Even if he continued to stay, he couldn't find out more news. The miller's daughter seemed to be a little bit reluctant, but Locke didn't want to stay and inherit the mill.

He wants to continue to pursue the opportunities in fairy tales, not only the possibility of triggering tasks to get rewards, but also some magical items that make Locke very excited.

Meditating these days, Locke found that the efficiency of meditation in this world is five or six times higher than before.

Obviously, there is a reason for the system to choose this world as the welfare world.

After Locke started teaching Peggy magic, he was still a little flustered, because he found that Peggy practiced meditation faster than himself.

In this case, in ten or eight years, he may be overtaken by Peggy.

As early as when he was reading fairy tales, he had noticed the golden apples that had appeared.

Many people have heard the legend of the golden apple. Gaia, the goddess of the earth, brought back a big tree from the west coast as a wedding gift for Zeus and Hera.

The tree was full of golden apples, and Zeus sent the three daughters of Night God to guard the holy garden where the golden apples were planted, and a hundred dragon Radon helped them guard it.

There are myths and legends related to golden apples, the most famous of which is that the three most beautiful goddesses in Greek mythology-Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite compete for golden apples.

Zeus asked Paris to be the referee.

In order to get the golden apple, the three goddesses promised Paris respectively.

Hera promised to give him supreme power, Athena was willing to give him wisdom and strength, so that he could become a hero praised by the world, and Aphrodite could make the most beautiful woman in the world fall in love with him and be his wife .

In the end, the boy Paris made the most stupid choice in Locke's opinion, but in line with the man's nature, and gave the golden apple to Aphrodite.

Later, with the help of Aphrodite, Paris kidnapped Queen Helen of Sparta, which triggered the Trojan War.

The three goddesses compete for the golden apple because the golden apple is a gift for the "most beautiful goddess", and the three goddesses are all competing for the most beautiful title.

But to let Zeus specially arrange for the dragon to guard it, and as a gift to the goddess, the value of the golden apple itself can be imagined.

If it was a golden apple tree guarded by a hundred dragons, Locke wouldn't want to touch it at all, but in this fairy tale world, there is another opportunity.

Several of the fairy tales that Locke has read have golden apples. Among them, the one that fascinates him the most is a fairy tale that describes a king who planted a golden apple tree in the palace.

But the fairy tale did not say which country the king was at all, and treasures like the golden apple must be kept strictly confidential, so it is not easy to find out.

Locke could only search for a needle in a haystack, and three or four months passed before he knew it.

One day he came to a city and found a hotel to live in.

Most hotels in this era have two floors, the first floor is a tavern, and the second floor is a place to stay.

When Locke opened the door, he heard all kinds of noises mixed together. The first floor of the tavern was brightly lit. The customers in these taverns were drinking inferior ale and bragging about their knowledge or heroic deeds.

These people smelled of alcohol and sweat. Taking advantage of the alcohol, they stretched out their hands to the maid who passed through the crowd, causing a lot of anger or scolding.

Locke ordered something to eat, sat down in a corner seat, and watched everything in the tavern.

At this time, the door of the tavern opened, and a young man with an obviously angry expression walked in, staring at the boss at the bar with a gloomy expression.

"I thought who it was, it turned out that our generous Mr. Will came."

A man in the tavern recognized the young man and said loudly: "Last time, Mr. Will treated us to a luxurious meal with a magical table that can continuously produce gourmet food."

"A magical table?" Hearing these words, Locke cheered up and looked at the young man.
