When he got home, Angelina, Glace, and the others were nowhere to be seen, except for the guards who strictly followed their duties.
It was four o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still an hour or two before they went home.
He went to the courtyard where Angelina lived and played with Angie for a while.
The scorpiondrake was growing bigger and bigger, and Angelina was reluctant to put it into her spatial equipment. Firstly, it didn't want to go in because there was nothing but a dark space inside. Secondly, it was too big for Angelina to put all her experimental equipment and materials inside.
He handed the little scorpiondrake a piece of meat that was cut from the Giant Frost Crocodile. The little scorpiondrake licked the meat with its tongue. More than a week had passed, but the Giant Frost Crocodile's meat was still emitting a chill.
Seemingly interested in the Giant Frost Crocodile's meat, the little scorpiondrake stuck out its purple tongue and licked it impatiently, not caring about the frost effect of the Giant Frost Crocodile's meat.
Locke didn't collect a lot of meat this time. It was probably only enough for a meal, so he took it all out.
The scorpiondrake was able to grow so fast during this period of time because Locke brought it all kinds of meat every time he returned from a mission.
In the scorpiondrake's eyes, Locke was no longer a monster, but a good person who brought it all kinds of delicious food and helped it improve its strength.
It was easy to make a major monster like you. All you had to do was feed it and help it improve its strength, especially when it was still in its infancy.
After playing with the scorpiondrake for a while, he heard the sound of a carriage stopping outside. It should be Glace and the others.
When he went out to greet them, Kristin was the first to jump out of the carriage, followed by Laffey, who was clad in armour, and finally, Glace, who was unhurried and unhurried, came out.
Locke's sister, Lia, was also in her carriage. He didn't have to wait long. Lia, dressed in a yellow dress, got out of the carriage together with Suzanne.
"Brother!" Kristin was the sharpest one. She noticed Locke standing in front of the door almost as soon as she got out of the carriage. She sprinted towards Locke's arms.
Kristin, who had grown for another six months, had finally grown a little taller. She could now reach Locke's chest, which was about 1.57m.
Compared to Locke, who was 1.8m tall, Kristin was a little shorter, but it wasn't obvious. It was easy to tell that they were brother and sister.
The girls weren't surprised to see Locke back. They were an old couple after all. Suzanne gave him a warm hug, and he pulled Glace over to kiss her. He even whispered to her, "I'll look for you tonight."
Before he could see Glace's expression, Kristin had already dragged him back to the mansion.
Glace was fine, but Kristin was annoyed when she saw Suzanne and Locke being intimate. In her opinion, Suzanne had been clinging to her brother for a long time, and now it was her turn.
She didn't care about Kristin's little tricks, or rather, she was already used to it. She had also heard what he whispered to Glace and was now sulking.
This fellow had been away for a month, yet he was meeting Grace on the first night. No matter how magnanimous Suzanne was, she could not help but feel jealous.
Among them, the calmest ones were Laffey and Lia.
After all, Angelina didn't get to have dinner. According to the maids, Angelina had been staying in the academy's laboratory almost all day for the past few days. It seemed that an experiment had reached a critical juncture.
Locke wasn't very interested in learning more about casters' experiments. He only knew that Angelina would come back very late. He wasn't worried about her safety. Whether it was the elite shadow guards or the tight security of the academy, Angelina might even be safer than them in the mansion.
Dinner ended with the girls asking about Locke's well-being. Even Laffey, who rarely talked to him, asked a few questions. She was also a knight, so she was very curious about the various adventures and adventures that knights went through during their missions.
Almost every fight, Laffey would ask about it, as if she was the one going on the mission instead of Locke.
"Be careful when you go out on missions in the future," said Lia as she put down the knife and fork in her hand.
"Okay, okay." Locke, who was still chewing on the white bread, took a bottle of wine from the table and drank it, swallowing it along with the bread in his mouth.
In the entire courtyard, only Lia and Angelina had the right to warn him in such a tone.
Lia was usually the one who said such preachy things. As for Angelina, she always sided with Locke.
Locke naturally agreed to Lia's warning. He actually enjoyed the feeling of being cared for.
Everyone knew that Locke had been on missions for the past six months. He often went out for a month or two before coming back. Because he hid his injuries in a place where they couldn't see, they didn't know how dangerous it was.
They could only rely on their own guesses and the accounts of other knights on missions to roughly know what Locke had gone through.
Speaking of which, the academy that Laffey, Suzanne and the others attended was a good one in Princeton. It also had a corresponding caster and knight faculties, but the quality of its casters and knights was far inferior to Princeton Imperial Academy.
The completion rate of missions wasn't that high either.
Just like Princeton Imperial Academy, those academies had set up mission halls for their students to complete. Most of the time, they saw knights coming back with injuries but not completing their missions.
So, these women all felt the same nervousness whenever Locke went out.
The wonderful dinner ended with questions and answers from the ladies. Leah and Suzanne were the first to leave. They had a good relationship and often discussed cross-stitch for an entire night. Leah would probably drag Suzanne to her room again tonight.
Suzanne, who knew what Locke was up to, didn't want to wait for that heartless guy in her room. She simply went to Lia's room tonight.
Laffey obviously knew what was going to happen and pulled Kristin to her room. Every night, Laffey would make sure that Kristin went to bed on time.
After a while, only Glace was left in the hall. The woman who looked calm and strong actually showed a little nervousness in front of Locke.
Locke went forward and hugged her. He could clearly feel her delicate body trembling in his arms.
"Go to your room," said Locke.
"Okay," replied Glace in a low voice.
When the two stumbled into Glace's room, Locke wasn't in a hurry to make a move. Instead, he took out a few sets of clothes that Irene had picked out for him from his spatial ring.
"Change into these," said Locke.
Glace bit her lip and obeyed.
It was probably the first time Glace had worn such cute clothes. As soon as Locke put them on, he couldn't help but take a look at them. They were too beautiful.
