Chapter 152 Stop All Actions

What happened next was exactly as Locke expected. With the help of the goldfish, Jim got the ring.

At this time, Locke took advantage of Jim to hand over the ring to the guard who was watching him, and told the guard that Jim was too tired and needed to rest, and he would meet the king and princess the next day.

After the guard agreed, he went back to the palace first. Locke held Jim at this moment and said, "Jim, you should still remember what I said to you in the palace."

"Yes, Lord Locke, I don't understand why you want to deceive the king. I was thinking about going back and explaining to them later." Jim said.

"The reason is very simple, because the princess will not marry an ordinary commoner. Do you plan to let the princess marry you and live an ordinary life?" Locke said slowly.

"But a lie is a lie, and it will be exposed sooner or later. I have no money, and I am not an aristocrat." Jim said.

"You don't have to worry, as long as you answer one of my questions, I will give you a lot of money, and at the same time let the Queen of the Kingdom of Lawrence help you prove your status as a nobleman."

Locke said with a smile: "In this way, your identity and the money you have are not lies, but the truth."

"What's the problem?" Jim thought it was a good thing when he heard it, and asked quickly.

"Jim, I found along the way that you seem to be able to understand what animals say." Locke said.

"Lo, Master Locke, what are you talking about? How can humans understand the words of animals?" Jim hid some panic.

"Honest Jim, you are not a liar. I can see at a glance that what you just said is covering up." Locke said with a smile:
"You should think about it. As long as you tell me this secret, you can live a happy life with the princess. Isn't this your wish?"

"This..." Jim hesitated for a long time before whispering: "Okay, Lord Locke, let me tell you, the reason why I can understand the words of animals is because I ate the meat of a white snake , This is what the king eats every day."

"I understand Jim." Locke nodded with a smile: "In this case, I will also fulfill my promise. Now I will take you to buy the manor and land, and I will leave you a large sum of money."

The next day, Jim came to the palace and met the king and princess.

Knowing that Jim who has completed her test is a rich man and a nobleman, the princess happily agrees to marry Jim.

The two held a wedding soon, and Locke also participated as a friend, and by the way, he was rewarded for completing the task.

After that, Locke returned to the forest where the three crows were, and before he reached the original big tree, he heard a croaking sound from the sky.

Looking up, it was the three crows from before. They were very happy to see Locke and croaked.

Locke immediately used the language proficiency, and then understood the words of the three crows: "Good-hearted human beings, have you come to see us?"

"I didn't expect you to grow up so quickly." Locke said, "Actually, I am here this time because I want to ask for your help."

"What do you need us to do?" asked the three crows.

"I have been looking for golden apples. You are flying fast. I want you to help me find them and tell me where to find the golden apple tree." Locke replied.

"So that's the case, you just wait for our good news." Saying this, with a gust of wind, the three crows disappeared into the sky.

Looking at the speed of the three crows and the gust of wind they brought, Locke knew that the three crows were probably monsters that inherited a special bloodline, no wonder the golden apple was found in the story.

The three crows flew away directly, and Locke didn't dare to run around, so he could only stay near the forest.

He built a wooden house around, and then went to a nearby city to buy some daily necessities such as clothes. As for food, he directly used a gourmet dining table.

In this way, Locke waited here for more than half a year, and finally one day, he heard the familiar cry of a crow above his head.

The three crows came to Locke and said, "We flew across the sea and finally brought you the golden apple at the end of the world."

Locke couldn't help being excited when he saw the golden apple grasped by one of the crows, and then he noticed that the three crows were in a mess and their feathers were messy, so he said:
"Are you injured? I have some potions here, which should be useful to you."

Locke took out a crystal bottle as he spoke, and while healing the three crows, he listened to the three crows talking about their experience of finding the golden apple.

From their descriptions, Locke finally determined the location of the golden apple tree, which was indeed very far away, no wonder it was called the end of the world by the crow.

After knowing the location of the golden apple tree, Locke didn't rush over immediately.

One reason is that the distance is too far, and the other reason is that according to the description of the three crows, the guard of the golden apple tree is not easy to mess with. Just like what the queen said, he is definitely not an opponent now.

After the three crows left, Locke opened his mouth without hesitation and bit the golden apple.

The taste of the golden apple was very delicious. After one bite, Locke felt as if every cell in his body was yearning for it. He couldn't help swallowing the golden apple three or two times.

Next, Locke felt special changes slowly taking place in his body, as if his perception of magic power had become more acute than before.

At that moment, Locke returned to the wooden house he built and began to meditate.

When he opened his eyes again, there was a look of obvious surprise on his face.

Just like what the queen said, eating golden apples can make people more friendly to magic, and Locke obviously felt that the effect of his meditation had more than doubled.

Moreover, Locke also discovered that the changes in his body have not completely stopped. It is estimated that as time goes by, the effect brought by the golden apple will increase, until the effect is fully exerted.

"Sure enough, it is worthy of being a treasure in Western mythology. I really didn't waste my efforts." Locke said happily to himself.

It took two years in the fairy tale world, and I took a lot of detours, but I finally achieved my goal.

At this time, Locke also felt that it was time to return to the world of American dramas first, so he contacted the system and chose to return.

"The ability of the system is really amazing."

Looking at the time, Locke sighed. He had been in the fairy tale world for more than two years, but only two hours had passed in the American drama world.

Thinking back on what happened before he entered the fairy tale world, Locke quickly remembered the meeting with Cypher.

That meeting was not pleasant. Cypher wanted to let himself invest in a secret plan of the CIA, but he refused decisively.

Whether Cypher has defected now, or is really still working for the CIA, Locke doesn't want to get involved in these things.

As for the matter of the Cordis family that the other party used to threaten Locke, Locke reviewed the entire operation and did not leave any trace of his participation.

All of this is just Cypher's speculation. The only thing to worry about is that if Damon and others are caught, they will make a statement against Locke under threat.

Not to mention whether Damon and the others will betray Locke, even with their confession, Cypher actually has nothing to do with Locke because there is no evidence.

Locke has always been very careful in doing things. Even Damon, who acts together the most, has no evidence against Locke.

For Cypher, spreading the news will not have any substantial impact on Locke, at most it will cause some rumors, that's all for the top figures in the United States, who has no similar things under their hands.

But you still need to be careful now. Thinking of this, Locke made a call to Damon using the encrypted satellite channel: "How is your event going?"

"Just confirmed that the news is true." Damon said: "We are gathering people and planning operations."

"Suspend all actions," Locke said decisively: "There is an unexpected situation. I will explain it in person when you come back. Everyone must come back."

"No problem." Damon agreed decisively: "I'll go back right away."

After hanging up the phone, Locke breathed a sigh of relief and was calling for staff. With their prudence, the news must not have spread yet.

He believed that Damon and Vanessa would obey his orders, and that Katalia could not be against him for the whereabouts of his enemies. As for Giselle...

Thinking of this, Locke frowned. He couldn't fully guarantee that Giselle would not do anything. After all, it was hundreds of millions of dollars, but this might also be regarded as a test for her.

Now that Cypher is eyeing him, Locke believes that she will never give up so easily. He must first confirm what Cypher's real purpose is and whether he is still working for the CIA.

In Locke's view, Cypher had better have left the CIA, which at least means that he has not been targeted by these federal law enforcement agencies.

For Locke, these law enforcement agencies are much more difficult than a single super spy. If they are really targeted and use a magnifying glass to observe Locke's every move, it will be very troublesome to do anything in the future.
