What happened next was exactly as Locke expected. With the help of the goldfish, Jim got the ring.

At this time, Locke took advantage of Jim to hand the ring to the guard who was looking at him, and told the guard that Jim was too tired and needed to rest. He would go to meet the king and princess the next day.

The guard agreed and went back to the palace first. At this time, Locke grabbed Jim and said, "Jim, you should still remember what I said to you in the palace."

"Yes, Lord Locke, I don't understand why you wanted to deceive the king. I was thinking of going back and explaining to them later." Jim said.

"The reason is very simple, because the princess will not marry an ordinary civilian. Do you plan to let the princess marry you and live an ordinary life?" Locke said slowly.

"But a lie is a lie, and it will be exposed sooner or later. I have no money, and I am not a nobleman." Jim said.

"Don't worry, as long as you answer me a question, I will give you a large amount of money, and at the same time, I will ask the Queen of the Kingdom of Lawrence to help you prove your noble status."

Locke said with a smile: "In this way, your identity and the money you have are not lies, but the truth."

"What is the problem?" Jim thought it was a good thing and asked quickly.

"Jim, I noticed along the way that you seem to be able to understand what animals are saying." Locke said.

"Lo, Mr. Locke, what are you talking about? How can a human understand the words of animals?" Jim concealed some panic.

"Honest Jim, you are not a liar. I can tell at a glance that what you just said was a cover-up." Locke said with a smile:

"You should think about it. As long as you tell me this secret, you can live a happy life with the princess. Isn't this your wish?"

"This..." Jim hesitated for a while, then whispered: "Okay, Mr. Locke, let me tell you, the reason why I can understand what animals say is because I ate the meat of a white snake , this is what the king eats every day.”

"I understand Jim." Locke smiled and nodded: "In this case, I will fulfill my promise. Now I will take you to buy the manor and land, and I will leave you a large sum of money."

The next day, Jim came to the palace and met the king and princess.

Knowing that Jim, who had completed her test, was a rich man and a nobleman, the princess happily agreed to marry Jim.

The two held a wedding soon, and Locke also participated as a friend, and by the way, he also received a reward for completing the task.

After that, Locke returned to the forest where the three crows were. Before he could get near the big tree, he heard a croaking sound coming from the sky.

When he looked up, he saw that it was the three crows from before. They looked very happy to see Locke and croaked.

Locke immediately used Language Comprehension, and then understood the words of the three crows: "Good-hearted human beings, have you come to see us?"

"I didn't expect you to grow up so quickly." Locke said, "Actually, I came here this time because I have something to ask for your help."

"What do you need our help with?" asked the three crows.

"I have been looking for golden apples. You are flying fast. I want you to help me search and tell me where to find the golden apple tree." Locke replied.

"So that's it, just wait for our good news." With that said, with a gust of wind, the three crows disappeared into the sky.

Looking at the speed of the three crows and the strong wind they brought up, Locke knew that these three crows were probably monsters with special bloodline. No wonder he could find golden apples in the story.

The three crows flew away immediately, and Locke did not dare to run around, so he could only live near the forest.

He built a wooden house around it, and then went to a nearby city to buy some daily necessities such as clothes. As for food, he just used a gourmet dining table.

In this way, Locke waited here for more than half a year. Finally one day, he heard the familiar crow calling from above his head.

Three crows came to Locke and said, "We flew across the sea and finally brought you the golden apples at the end of the world."

Locke couldn't help but be excited when he saw the golden apple held by one of the crows. Then he noticed that the three crows were a little embarrassed and their feathers were messy, and he said:

"Are you injured? I have some potions here that should be useful to you."

Locke said as he took out a crystal bottle and treated the three crows while listening to the three crows talk about their experience of searching for the golden apple.

From their descriptions, Locke finally determined the location of the golden apple tree. It was indeed very far away. No wonder it was called the end of the world by crows.

After knowing the location of the golden apple tree, Locke rushed there immediately without any hurry.

Firstly, the distance is too far, and secondly, according to the descriptions of the three crows, the guards of the golden apple tree are not easy to mess with. Just like the queen said, he is definitely no match now.

After the three crows left, Locke opened his mouth without hesitation and bit the golden apple.

The taste of golden apples was very delicious. After one bite, Locke felt as if every cell in his body was craving for it. He couldn't help but swallowed all the golden apples in a few big gulps.

Next, Locke felt a special change slowly occur in his body, as if his perception of magic became more acute than before.

Locke then returned to the wooden house he built and began to meditate.

When he opened his eyes again, there was an obvious look of surprise on his face.

Just like the queen said, eating golden apples can make people more in touch with magic power. Locke obviously felt that the effect of his meditation had more than doubled.

Moreover, Locke also discovered that the changes in his body have not completely stopped. It is estimated that as time goes by, the effects of the golden apple will increase until the effects are fully exerted.

"It is indeed a treasure in Western mythology. My efforts have indeed been in vain." Locke said to himself happily.

It took me two years in the fairy tale world, and I took many detours during this period, but I finally achieved my goal.

At this time, Locke also felt that it was time to return to the world of American TV series, so he contacted the system and chose to return.

"The capabilities of the system are truly amazing."

Looking at the time, Locke sighed. He had stayed in the fairy tale world for more than two years, but only two hours had passed in the American TV series world.

After thinking about what happened before he entered the fairy tale world, Locke quickly remembered his meeting with Seifer.

That meeting was not a pleasant one. Cypher wanted to invest in a secret plan of the CIA, but he decisively refused.

Regardless of whether Cypher has defected or is still working for the CIA, Locke doesn't want to get involved in these things.

As for the Cordis family matter that the other party used to threaten Locke, Locke reviewed the entire operation and left no trace of his involvement.

All of this is just Seve's speculation. The only thing that needs to be worried about is if Damon and others are caught and then make a confession that is not conducive to Locke under threat.

Not to mention whether Damon and the others would betray Locke, even with their confessions, Cypher actually had nothing to do with Locke because there was no evidence.

Locke has always been very careful in doing things. Even Damon, who has acted together the most, has no evidence against Locke.

For Seifer, spreading the news will not have any substantial impact on Locke. At most, it will cause some rumors. Who among the top figures in the United States does not have similar things under their control.

But you still need to be careful now. Thinking of this, Locke called Damon on the encrypted satellite channel: "How is your activity going?"

"It has just been confirmed that the news is true." Damon said: "We are gathering people and planning operations."

"Suspend all actions," Locke said decisively: "If there is an unexpected situation, I will explain it to you when you come back. Everyone must come back."

"No problem." Damon agreed decisively: "I'll go back right away."

After hanging up the phone, Locke breathed a sigh of relief and was gathering people. With their caution, the news must not have spread yet.

He believed that Damon and Vanessa would obey his orders, and Catalia would not harm him for the sake of the whereabouts of her enemies. As for Giselle...

Thinking of this, Locke frowned. He couldn't completely guarantee that Giselle wouldn't do anything. After all, it was hundreds of millions of dollars, but this might also be regarded as a test for her.

Now that Seifer has targeted him, Locke believes that she will never give up so easily. He first needs to confirm what Seifer's true purpose is and whether he is still working for the CIA.

In Locke's view, it would be best for Seifer to have left the CIA, which at least means that he has not been targeted by the federal law enforcement agencies.

For Locke, these law enforcement agencies are much more difficult to deal with than a single super spy. If he is really targeted and observes Locke's every move with a magnifying glass, it will be very troublesome to do anything in the future.
