Chapter 184: First Time in Heavenly Prefecture

Hobrick had already thought about it for five days. In the end, he decided to take Locke to the palace, hoping to solve this crisis.

The other professors and instructors did not understand why did this matter need to be considered for so many days. It was because it was an honor to apply to visit the palace.

However, Hobrick had already communicated with them, so they did not delve further.

Hobrick looked at the people in the tent and said, “I’ve already called Secretary Peter. There should be no problem with the application to go to the palace. I think there will be a reply later. Locke and I will set off tomorrow…”

“Don’t worry, we’ll keep an eye on the academy. I hope Locke is fine!” Tristan knew that his instructor rarely did things that he was not sure of.

Only Jacques was thinking, ‘Why is the old man so confident that he can go to the palace? Such applications are often rejected…’

Diana smiled and said, “Don’t worry! Only a few of us know about this from the beginning to the end. We’ll keep it a secret!”

Hobrick forced a smile and got up to leave.

At this moment, Locke was happy because of the three billion federal coins he had received from selling a batch of artworks! He made a phone call to ask Dickens had prepared the materials that he needed.

The so-called materials were for the advancement of Cries of Wind and Flame.

“Boss! There’s only one thing left! It’ll be here in a week at most…” Dickens was very smart. He never knew why Locke wanted these things. He just did his job well.

“Knock! Knock, knock, knock…”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

After Locke hung up the phone, he opened the door and saw that it was Principal Hobrick.

“What’s wrong? Aren’t there no classes today?” Although he was impatient, Locke had already made way for the living room.

This was the first time Hobrick visited Locke’s home. His parents were not around, so Locke brought a cup of coffee.

“Child, do you want to go out with me?” Hobrick did not reveal Locke’s current dangerous situation, but changed to a kind lie.

The old man was a famous explorer on the continent and the knowledge learned from going out with him was not something that could be measured with money. It could not be learned in class either.

“You should tell me earlier! I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time! When do we leave?” Locke’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

“Tomorrow… Tomorrow at noon.” Hobrick revealed a kind smile.

“Where are we going?”

“The Royal Palace…”

Locke was stunned for a second and asked warily, “Why are we going there? Is the Royal Palace very interesting?”

Hobrick stood up, smiled, and said, “Of course! There are many rare things there! The most valuable and rarest treasures in the entire continent are all there! Don’t you think it’s interesting? Moreover, anyone who entered the Royal Palace would be able to receive some gifts from His Majesty the King when they leave! It’s very precious and rare! How is it? Not bad, right?”

Hearing this, Locke’s interest was piqued.

When Twin-headed White Jade Snake had advanced, he discovered that after a Battle Beast advanced to tier 4, the materials needed were not something that could be gathered with money alone.

If there were so many rare treasures in the palace, it would definitely be worth it to get a few at the same time!

Moreover, the palace was the center of the entire Federation. It was only right to broaden one’s horizons!

“Alright! Then it’s settled! Tomorrow at noon!” However, Locke thought about it and immediately said, “But the palace is in the Heavenly Prefecture. It’s too far. Shall we take a car?”

Hobrick spread his hands. “There’s nothing we can do about it. Let’s take a plane. The plane will be faster!”

At the mention of the word “plane”, Locke immediately reacted. He decided to trouble Adelaide again.

After the call was made, not only did Adelaide not find it troublesome but he was also overjoyed!

“Oh my God! We can go to the palace? Isn’t that great? Mr. Locke, listen to me, do me a favor! I’ll send two more planes to follow your plane! The things inside are my gift to His Majesty the King! I’ll see if I can find a way to lift the curse on my family…”

The items in the two planes must be rare treasures as they were really rich.

It was great to be the king! No one needed to ask for those valuables and they could personally send the things over!

After sending off Hobrick, Locke’s parents came back and after hearing the news, they were in joy!

Dinner was spent in the excited tears of Locke’s parents.

“Thank God for such a wonderful son…”

“My God, if my dad were alive, he’d be able to get out of his wheelchair!”

…

At noon the next day, the three directors and the security guard, Douglas, were there to see him off.

There was not a trace of worry on the faces of these people.

Adelaide led the motorcade to personally pick up the two men and take them to the airport.

In the limo, Adelaide sent out two girls in hot clothes, who pressed their shoulders and massaged their legs. “Mr. Principal, please help me with my curse.”

It was still the fastest private plane.

“Mr. Locke! This flight will take a day, please rest in peace!”

Locke looked at Hobrick, who was enjoying high-class desserts. “Principal! In my impression, there are only a few cases where you can successfully apply to enter the palace. How did you do it so easily?”

Hobrick was surprised at Locke’s meticulous mind. After thinking for a moment, he said without changing his expression, “I had the honor of meeting His Majesty the King a few times in the past. We can barely be considered friends…”

“Oh…” Locke was skeptical.

…

At noon the next day, the plane arrived at the airport of Heavenly Prefecture on time.

Secretary Peter was already waiting in the distance.

“You old man, His Majesty was very happy when he knew you were coming. He has already begun to arrange a banquet…” The two old friends had not seen each other for many years.

“Locke, how are you?” Secretary Peter and Locke greeted each other.

The Heavenly Prefecture was not very big, but it was full of the feeling of a city.

Every building reflected the modernity of a city. The appearance was also very magnificent!

It was said that Holy City was a bustling city, but compared to Heavenly Prefecture, it was still far from it. It could be said that this place was golden and resplendent!

Every pedestrian was full of the feeling of an elite and the Battle Beasts beside them to help carry things were not low-level either.

Just by looking at the faint glow on their bodies, one could tell that they were all orange quality.

“How about it, Locke? After graduation, you can take up a position in Heavenly City. My previous invitation hasn’t been withdrawn yet…” Peter said with a grin.

“We’ll talk about it in the future, but this place feels pretty good…”

After all, this was a city of the highest level, so the temptation was naturally not small.

Although he said that he was considering it, Locke’s heart was already restless.

“It’s still early, His Majesty is taking a nap, and in front of him is a street square. Do you want to go down and take a look?” Secretary Peter asked Locke.
