The Spirit World

Chapter 691 Locke's Past

[Please maintain the deepest malice towards all evil people. ]

"Although that's what you say, it's hard to do..." The man suddenly turned around and no longer faced Chang Yufeng.

Chang Yufeng looked at his broad but skinny back, raised his hands, pulled up the sleeves of his clothes, revealing his dry arms, and said, "I haven't explained it very clearly, but since ancient times, there haven't been many people who can write a "bloody history of family destruction" with literary talent. I'm just a rough man, and I can only tell you how to bring down the Longxing Society in the simplest and most violent way."

"The bloody history of family destruction since ancient times..." Chang Yufeng noticed that this person's words were special, and his pronunciation was also on these four words.

This person's background is unclear, and his name is unknown.

"I can only tell you some relatively rough methods to quickly defeat Longxinghui." The man rubbed his neck: "What I just mentioned is the main reason for the development and growth of Longxinghui, but it was too brief. Now, I feel more and more excited. I have a chance to meet you, so I will tell you in more detail."

"Appreciate further details."

Chang Yufeng nodded. In front of this old man who looked like he had been locked up for many years, Chang Yufeng nodded more and more often.

"Then listen, kid, when you let me out, I will give you a gift that I have treasured all my life. How about that? It can be considered as a favor from me."

The man was also nodding, talking happily, and shaking his head.

"How do you know I'll let you out?"

"Of course I know. Heaven knows, earth knows, you know, and I know."

"Is this considered a big scam?" Chang Yufeng smiled.

This person is good at speaking, could he really understand the secrets of heaven?

It won't work if it's too mysterious. Then how did he deduce the specialness of his identity based on the trajectory of his own events?
Maybe this person has good insight and observation skills beyond ordinary people, so when he saw Chang Yufeng pretending to faint and being so calm, he already understood that he had a special identity.

But he didn't say it clearly, so he definitely didn't know his true identity. If he didn't say it clearly, then he could say anything... Maybe he was an old charlatan? He was locked up here, and he didn't mind eating, drinking, defecating, or urinating. How could he be so tolerant? He might not be able to leave here for the rest of his life.

"Eh...it's three parts affection and seven parts regret. If you don't want to, then I won't say it." The man was a little angry. Although he was smiling, he acted normal, even mature. He turned around a little and glanced at Chang Yufeng, with the corners of his mouth raised, smiling mysteriously.

"Well, it's up to you. But if they really retaliate as you said, I think you won't be able to survive, so you can't blame me." Chang Yufeng smiled gently, as if responding to the man's smile.

"Forget it, let's talk about business." The man understood and stopped insisting. However, he had never thought that the child in front of him could really bring down the Longxing Society as he said.

"The core of the Longxing Society is Locke."

The man narrated:
Locke, born in 1962 in the Principality, is now 59 years old, a native of Wenti County, and lives in Mousse Village. He has never married and has only a mother and a first sister. He is the only pillar of the family.

The early Longxing Society had no connection with Locke. In the early days, Locke's family was poor and could only make a living by farming. The annual harvest was only one thousand gold coins, and he depended entirely on the weather. It was already very difficult for him to support three people in his family, not to mention the cost of studying.

Fifteen-year-old Loken went up the mountain to hunt every day, chopped wood and boiled water to supplement his family income. In the world of magic, this kind of life would never get ahead. Even though his family was poor, Loken, who had a very high magical talent, still obtained a place as an "extra student" to study at the [Flandro Royal Academy] from the famous [Sharod] family in Wenti County at that time.

This quota is like a ladder leading to another life for anyone from a poor family. And for Locke, it is a recognition of strength and a God-given opportunity.

However, as you can imagine, the cost of medicine and care for his elderly mother, and the lack of his brother and sister by their side made it impossible for them to hold on. His only way out in life disappeared like a golden light in his eyes.

For countless days and nights, Locke could not sleep or eat well. When working in the fields, he would stand slowly, look into the distance in the direction of Fran, and wipe away his tears silently.

The villagers at that time all felt sorry for him. Some sent him rice, some sent him money. His life became a little better, but it was not enough to change the situation.

Once a farmer, always a farmer. Perhaps this is too cruel for anyone. No one can live without the crops produced by farmers, but few people can respect farmers. The fifteen-year-old Locke is exposed to the sun every day and burned by the sun every day. Except for the remaining vitality of youth, he no longer looks like a young man in any way.

A farmer's life seems to have a foreseeable end from the moment he is born. The land left by his father has put a heavy burden on his three children because of his death.

Perhaps they should be thankful that their father left them this land on which they can make a living. No matter how poorly they eat or wear, the land of Wenti County will never despise their descendants who are born on this land.

At least the four seasons in Wenti County are like spring, with pleasant sunshine and abundant rain. After hard work, one can still gain something. Live by the mountain and eat by the water. The joy of the harvest can still make Locke smile. After working, he can also save a little bit. His mother's illness has improved. His younger brother and sister can also learn some knowledge, so they will not be like himself, inseparable from this land for the rest of their lives.

During that time, Locke was always smiling and everything seemed to be getting better. The scar of his regret for not being able to go to Fran seemed to be erased over time.

However, if everyone always died on the best day of their life, Locke would definitely hope that it would be this year, after the harvest. The 500 gold coins in his hand were enough for Locke to feel the weight of money for the first time. He might also be willing to die on this day.

This is life. Until the day of life comes to an end, it is not the day of the end of life... Lockenti dared not even mention human life or human dreams. He only hoped for a good harvest next year and to earn 600 gold coins so that he could raise a few piglets and eat meat at the end of the year before thinking about the future.

Everything about Locke, since he was fifteen, seemed to have known what he would be like when he was fifty. His amazing perseverance and determination were also for the sake of giving his mother and younger brothers and sisters a better future.

At that time, Locke was a role model for all the children in the eyes of the villagers of Mousse Village.

It is an unchanging truth since ancient times that children with a miserable life will grow up early.

But fate is the most terrible truth.

When he was sixteen years old, the mountains of Wenti County seemed to have taken away all the moisture. People said that the frost dragon buried in Wenti County was awakening and was in urgent need of irrigation from the elements of ice and water, so a horrific drought came quietly.

That year, all of Locke's farmland was barren. No one in Wenti County had anticipated this, and Locke was naturally among the displaced people.

You say, when this person is unlucky, he is so unlucky. After the drought, the locust plague follows. The locusts in the sky can even lift people up and eat them... The demon formed by the resentment of the people is wreaking havoc on the entire Wenti County.

This is an extremely embarrassing period of history, and many people have chosen to forget this history of cannibalism.

Sixteen-year-old Locke was also transformed by this drought.

Because his mother was eaten alive by a man-eating rat demon, his sister was robbed by bandits and disappeared, and his younger brother was trampled to death during a food scramble by refugees.

No one pays for natural disasters. But someone has to pay for natural disasters. The former Lord of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Wenti County resigned, but this also became the fuse for Locke's explosion.

He saw the former Lord of the Imperial Household Department parading through the streets of Wenti County with his wife and children. The refugees of Wenti County looked at them, wearing fine clothes and eating delicious food. Even after the drought and locust plague, they still wore complete clothes and ate delicacies from land and sea. The pork that Locke ate once a year seemed like a common meal to them.

So there is such a way of life in this world?

Why not eat minced meat?
So there is such a way of life in this world?
The former city lord, even if he stepped down and resigned, could still be a real president of the local small chamber of commerce [Longxing Association]. His life has never changed at all, and he is even more free and does not have to worry about official business. Locke buried his mother and brother, just like burying his past self.

He said.

"Why……"

"Mother, can you tell me? Why..."

He leaned on his mother's wooden tombstone and began to feel pain.

On the wooden tombstone, there was only the mother's last name, which was also the last name of her husband, a farmer who had died many years ago, [Bright].

"Mother...can you tell me why?"

why?

Why are some people born into extreme pain, eating coarse grains and plain rice, and never able to improve their lives, while others are born into wealth and glory, eating meat and drinking every day, and rising straight to the top?
Why! This day is so unfair?

His crying became louder and louder, and then suddenly became softer and softer.

He laughed happily in front of the tombstone.

They all opened their eyes wide with madness: “Hahahaha, hahahaha!”

He stood up and stopped talking, but screamed madly.

He left Wenti County and was no longer known to the world, but since then, everything about him has been too mysterious, until he showed up and turned the entire Wenti County upside down.

"The first thing he did when he came to Wenti County was to kill the entire family of the president of the Longxing Chamber of Commerce." In Chang Yufeng's eyes, the man seemed to be telling a very ordinary story. He seemed to want to tell it again, from Locke's life to Locke's present.

This kind of story was commonplace to him.

"A family of five was thrown at the door of the former Wenti County Internal Affairs Department."

"He hates it."

Chang Yufeng understood some of Locke's deeds, or in other words, his past and present lives. Everyone will die, but there are many kinds of death. In the eyes of the living, the death of any one person may be related to him, or it may not be related to him...

If the knife hadn't reached the neck, who would be crying? Who knows?

"Whether he hated it or not... I really don't know, but the people of Wenti County were quite confused at that time... Because when Locke came back, it had been five or six years... The former Lord of the Internal Affairs Department of Wenti County had no idea where this came from... He was so scared that he went around hunting down the beasts, but he could never have imagined that the man who dumped the five corpses at the door of the Internal Affairs Department was sitting in the position of the President of the Longxing Society, waiting to be arrested."

That person actually smiled when he said this...

"Even quite chivalrous?"

Chang Yufeng was a little surprised.

"That sudden drought was said to be related to the revival of the dragons at that time, but the dragons haven't revived yet, so who knows what happened at that time... The Dragon City and Princess Wenti's dragon accidentally created an extremely terrifying demon."

The man laughed: "It's not the spirit of a knight, but punishing evil and eliminating evil does make Locke show an amazing personal charm. It reminds people at that time of the time when he was the son of a farmer who died early, and the admiration of the whole village for him as a role model... Hahahaha, what a twist of fate..."

"It's fate that really plays tricks on us..."

Looking at the present from the past, it is so... shocking.

"You would never have thought that the head of the Sharod family, Palod, actually admired Locke at the time. He spent a huge amount of money to get Locke out of the death row and once again took him in as a capable training target for Sharod."

"I... was shocked..."

Chang Yufeng rubbed his eyes. He no longer cared about the dirt and stench here. If this place could once again be the end of Locke's life, it would definitely be an inspiring legendary story.

It would be nice if life ended at its peak. It would be nice if life ended when a person was happiest, most looking forward to, and most hopeful…

But this is life. Most of the time, as long as a person is not dead, he can only move forward step by step. Whether right or wrong, it is just a matter of thought.

Everyone is equal...

Who came up with this?

Hahaha, they are a group of robbers...

"Lorcan, at that time, had such a charm that made everyone willing to work for him wholeheartedly. After he took over the Longxing Association, a large number of young people who were trained by the Sharod family at that time followed his chamber of commerce and developed and grew... making the Longxing Association, the first small chamber of commerce in Wenti County, become the largest chamber of commerce in Wenti County."

The man scratched his head, feeling rather embarrassed. At this point, his embarrassment really came out. He scratched and scratched, feeling as if he really was itchy. However, he was not itchy at all.

"Wait... the Sharod family... I heard from the old man in Wenti County that they were all slaughtered and burned in one night. Not even their bodies could be found!"

Chang Yufeng was greatly shocked. This was naturally done by this terrible man named Locke.

"It's really scary..."

"At that time... the bloody storm was just like the drought that swept across the entire Wenti County..."

The man smiled, and at this time he actually laughed.

"Human life is worthless under magic bullets. Most mortals actually think they can reason with magicians who possess magic. How naive... naive... naive... hahahaha... naive..."
