Chapter 242
Walking all the way, passing through a dense forest, Locke looked at the smoke rising from the village not far away, and finally thought that he was about to arrive. The village in front of him was the village next to the potion garden where the potion master was.

Thinking of this, Locke turned his gaze to the road, and then saw a dark-skinned middle-aged man not far ahead, carrying a basket and singing an unknown country song.

"Wait a moment!" Locke called out to the other party actively.

"Who are you?" Seeing the stranger who suddenly appeared, the middle-aged man frowned, showing a vigilant look. Their village is very remote, and outsiders rarely appear.

"My name is Locke, and I want to ask you something." With that said, Locke had an extra silver coin at his fingertips: "If your answer satisfies me, this is yours."

Seeing the silver coin in Locke's hand, the middle-aged man's eyes flashed a light, and he said with a smile: "If you want to know anything, just ask, but don't delay too long, I have to deliver food."

I glanced at the baskets in the hands of the villagers. Most of them were covered with cloth, but perhaps because of carelessness, I could see from a corner that contained white bread and wine bottles.

He frowned slightly. This is not scientific at all. The era of the fairy tale world is based on the Middle Ages in Europe. This middle-aged man knew that he must be a farmer just by looking at the skin and calluses on his hands. He had never heard of any ordinary villager. Can afford white bread and wine.

Thinking of this, Locke still asked, "Do you know that there is a place with many magical plants nearby?"

"Who the hell are you, and why do you inquire about this?" Locke's question made the man immediately vigilant.

"I'm a friend of Master, and I'm here to visit her specially."

"Impossible. I've lived here for more than ten years, and I haven't heard of anyone visiting that big man. Why do you..." The middle-aged man was attracted by the gold coin in Locke's hand when he was halfway through speaking.

"You just need to take me near the master's potion garden, you don't have to do anything else, it's yours." Locke said slowly.

"This..." The middle-aged man swallowed, hesitated for a moment, finally gritted his teeth, and took the gold coin in Locke's hand.

Next, Locke followed the middle-aged man all the way, saw him come to the forest, and then took out a green ring from his arms.

Slightly raised his eyebrows, he was sure that this man was a completely ordinary person, but on this ring, Locke sensed the fluctuation of magic power.

Locke could feel that he had passed through a barrier with the help of the ring. Locke followed behind him, and after passing through the barrier, he found that the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

In the forest that was originally densely wooded, an empty space appeared. In the center was a tall stone tower. This tower had no stairs or doors. Only at the top of the tower was a window. .

And on the surrounding land, there are various plants planted, and Locke knew that this place should be the potion garden.

'Sure enough, the villager was delivering food to the potions master. ' Locke thought in his heart, watching the villagers put the food baskets under the tower.

"I don't know if you are lying to me, but if you make any small moves, the big man will naturally teach you a lesson."

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man left in a hurry, and Locke just stood there, looking at the middle-aged man thoughtfully: "If nothing else happens, he should be the father of Rapunzel."

The fairy tale of Rapunzel Girl is also quite famous. It mainly tells about a villager who was caught by the witch because his wife was greedy for food.

The witch said she would not let them go unless they gave her their unborn daughter.

The couple reluctantly agreed, and the witch gave lettuce to the villagers' wives every day, and took the girl away after their daughter was born, and let the girl live in a high tower all the time.

Later, a prince accidentally saw Rapunzel and fell in love with her. Once he saw the witch asked Rapunzel to let her hair down and climb upstairs to him, so he met Rapunzel in the same way, and the two fell in love very quickly.

After the witch found out, she left the lettuce in the deserted wilderness. The sad prince jumped from the high tower and was stabbed blind.

Until a few years later, the wandering prince reunited with Rapunzel in the wilderness. Rapunzel's tears healed the prince, and the two lived happily ever after.

Combined with what the Queen told Locke before, it is obvious that the potion master treats Rapunzel as an heir, but Rapunzel was seduced by the prince. Locke thinks that the potion master has a good temper if he doesn't kill the prince directly.

After all, in this era, disciples are really like children, and the prince who seduces Rapunzel is actually equivalent to breaking the inheritance of the master of potions.

And Locke just waited under the tower for a while, and finally saw an old woman with a pointed hat and a dark green robe appearing in front of him: "Who are you?"

"Hello, potion master, I am the queen who sent you a letter." Locke saluted and took out the prepared queen's letter.

"The Black Witch Queen?!" The potion master frowned and said, "Didn't I already reject her invitation? I'm not interested in being a teacher in any magic school. I want to live a few more years with my old bones. I don’t want to attract the attention of the Holy See.”

"The queen's letter, I think you'd better take a look, master." Locke said slowly:
"Master, do you think that as long as we don't provoke the Holy See, we won't come to our door? Then, how many of the bloodlines of the old gods that have been wiped out by the Holy See have actively provoked the Holy See?"

The potion master was silent and did not answer. She knew the meaning of Locke's words. Most of the time, it was not the blood of the old gods who wanted to cause trouble, but the Holy See itself was constantly chasing and killing the blood of the old gods.

"If the news I got when I came here is correct, the power of the Holy See has developed rapidly in this country over the years. Now the king and most nobles have believed in the Lord of the Holy Light. Do you think the Holy See will always be with you?" Is it all right?"

Locke said slowly: "I've heard a saying, how can others snore on the side of the couch? I don't know how long the Holy See will allow you to snore here, Master?"

These words pointed directly at people's hearts, like a sharp sword, and the Potion Master, who had been unwilling to think about this issue, couldn't help but feel his heart sink.

She doesn't want to cause trouble, and lives her life quietly, but how long can such a stable life last?
