Chapter 150 Contradiction

Seeing that Locke was rude, the king frowned slightly, and then smiled and said, "I understand your concerns. You can live in the palace now and think about it slowly."

"This is my honor, Your Majesty the King." Locke nodded and agreed.

After finishing his conversation with the king, Locke came to a palace room to rest under the guidance of the guards.

After the guard left, Locke left a phantom. His true body had already used invisibility to quietly come to the king's room and watched a guard put a plate of covered dishes in front of the king.

When the guards left, the king opened the lid and revealed what was placed in the plate, which was the corpse of a white snake.

The white snake was still raw without any cooking. The king just took a knife and fork, cut the white snake open, and put a piece of bloody snake meat in his mouth.

The king's behavior verified Locke's guess. He was the king in the fairy tale white snake, but Locke couldn't help but complain: "Just eat the white snake raw, you are not afraid of the parasites inside."

Of course, the king has been eating snake meat raw for many years, and there is nothing to do now, so most of the time, there is no need to worry about this problem. Locke also knows that it is precisely because of these snake meat that the king can be famous all over the country for his wisdom.

After eating snake meat, the king began to speak softly. Soon, a little mouse ran out and made a squeaking sound.

The two sides began a conversation, and soon Lock understood that the king was asking the mouse to monitor him.

"Sure enough, this is the source of the king's 'wisdom'. Only with these white snake flesh can the king have the ability to talk to animals."

Rock smiled and quietly left, returning to the room arranged for him by the king.

As expected, within a while, the mouse noticed that it came in through a mouse hole in the room and hid in the corner and secretly observed Locke.

He sneered in his heart, and Locke seemed to have found nothing, so he cleaned up and then took a rest.

In the next few days, different visitors would appear around Rock every day, mice, birds, and ducks, which could be said to be extremely lively.

The king proudly thought he had controlled Locke's every move, but he didn't know that his words and actions were under the surveillance of Locke's magic.

This king is an ordinary person, and there is no magician in the entire palace, so it is impossible to detect Locke's magic.

These days, Locke is warmly treated and eagerly requested by the king every day, telling the shamelessness of the rebels, hoping that Locke will help eliminate the rebels.

As time went by, Locke pretended to be gradually shaken, as if he was gradually convinced by the king, but he despised the king in his heart.

Thinking that he was pitiful, Locke didn't know that the reason why those rebels appeared was because the king's ancestors were arrogant, extravagant and resentful, which made the heavens angry and the people resentful?

You should know that in order to guide Snow White, Locke has a good understanding of the history of several surrounding countries.

In addition to monitoring the king, Locke has done another thing these days, that is, he has been searching for the sources of the white snakes the king ate.

It turned out that every day there were special knights who sent the white snake to the royal palace.

Following this line, Locke continued to track and search, and found that these white snakes were given to the knights by different people every day.

These people left after sending the white snake, and actually sneaked into the royal city where the king's so-called rebels were located.

Because I couldn't leave for too long, Locke only sensed the approximate position through the magic mark, thinking that he would definitely go there to find out if he had the chance in the future.

Until one day, while Locke was listening to the king and the queen talking, he heard something about it, and a happy smile suddenly appeared on Locke's face.

It turned out that the queen told the king that her ring was gone. After thinking about it, the king began to doubt Jim, the honest guard he trusted the most.

It seems that Jim is the guard in the fairy tale who stole the king's white snake flesh. He did not miss him, which means that he would have the chance to meet those three crows with Jim.

In the fairy tale, the three crows helped Jim find the golden apples. As long as they find the three crows, Locke will not only have the chance to get the golden apples, but also ask about the location of the golden apple tree.

After thinking for a while, Locke left the room and came to the palace garden, pretending to appreciate the flowers here, Jim was here at this time.

After waiting for a while, two guards came to the garden and stopped Jim.

Seeing this, Locke walked over and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Mr. Rock, Jim, he stole the queen's ring, and the king asked us to take him over and ask questions." A guard replied.

"As far as I know, Jim is usually very honest and doesn't seem to be a person who steals the queen's ring. Is this a misunderstanding?" Locke said in surprise after hearing this.

Jim also hurriedly said, "It's not me, I didn't steal the queen's ring."

"This is the king's order." The guard stressed: "The king lets us take you to see him."

Looking at Jim who was aggrieved and panicked, Locke said, "I believe Jim is not a person who can steal things. I will go to see the king with you and I and I will figure it out."

The guards knew that Locke was the king's distinguished guest, so they did not stop him. They came to the king together.

"Your Majesty the King, I definitely don't have the ring of His Highness. You know I'm not that kind of person." Jim explained loudly as soon as he saw the King.

"Jim, I always think you are an honest person, so I trust you very much and give you the right to go to and from anywhere in the palace."

The king looked at Jim and said, "But sometimes, greed can make people do something irrational. When the queen's ring is lost, you are the only one who has been to the queen's courtyard. Who else can you have if you are not."

"Your Majesty, please believe me, I really didn't do it. No one can compare to my loyalty to you." Faced with the king's questioning, Jim didn't know how to defend himself for a moment, and could only keep telling his innocentness.

At this time, Locke spoke: "His Majesty, as far as I know, Jim is an honest person. The ring should not have been stolen by him. Maybe he just fell into something accidentally. If you look carefully, you may be able to find it."

The king was thinking about asking Locke to do his best, and he didn't want to directly refute his words. He thought about it and said to Jim: "Jim, I'll give you a night. If you can't find the ring tomorrow, then I will execute you."

After hearing this, Jim showed a hint of joy, but soon became worried again and left dejectedly.

After Jim left, Locke began to say goodbye to the king:

"His Majesty the King, the Queen of Lorence, heard about me, and she did not seem to want me to intervene in the wars of other countries, because this may cause trouble for the Kingdom of Lorence, so I have to regretfully refuse your request."

The king was in a bad mood, but after hearing Locke's words, his face became ugly and he said in a stiff tone: "So that's it, then let's forget about this matter, when are you going to continue traveling?"

It turns out that people are facing forward but not behind. The king has the intention of driving people.

Locke didn't care and replied: "It's a pity, I'm going to clean up and set off tomorrow."

After saying goodbye to the king, Locke returned to the room and quietly observed Jim's situation. He watched him overheard the duck's conversation as in the fairy tale, and found the ring from the duck's belly, washing away his suspicion.

Lock knew that Jim had stolen the king's white snake flesh because of curiosity. He had the ability to understand animal language just like the king, so he could hear the clues from the duck's conversation and found the ring.

The king found the ring in the duck's belly, and the king went to find other ducks. After listening to their conversation, he knew that the duck had indeed eaten the ring by himself.

Understand that he had wronged Jim, the king felt a little guilty and was willing to agree to him with a condition in order to compensate him.

But Jim, who had eaten the white snake meat, already understood the origin of the king's reputation of "wisdom", and his respect for the king was greatly reduced. He was a little discouraged because he was a little discouraged and decided to leave the palace.

The king finally gave Jim a horse and gave him a sum of money.

Next, Jim left the palace happily with his own things, thinking that he had the ability to understand animal words and would definitely be able to make a career.

At the same time, Locke also chose to say goodbye to the king. The two met by chance at the city gate. After a simple conversation, the two chose to walk together.

At this time, another task suddenly emerged in the system, which was to ask Locke to help Jim marry the princess.

This mission made Locke frown because he found that this mission was inconsistent with his plan to get the Golden Apple.
