When he left the kingdom again, Locke became a human being. Peggy wanted to go out with Locke because she wanted to see more magical creatures in the fairy tale world, especially cute and beautiful creatures like flower fairies, which girls like her loved the most.

So Peggy asked to stay, and then went with the queen to see the Flower Fairy, and she somehow persuaded Snow White to intercede for her. In the end, Locke could only ask the queen to pay more attention to her safety.

Locke did not continue to ride on his horse, but directly changed his appearance and came to the vicinity of the village again. Then he came to the forest that the queen mentioned and began to look for traces of the giant.

"This footprint... If you judge based on the size of the footprints, this giant is about eight or nine meters tall." The location provided by the queen was more detailed. Locke walked around the forest and quickly discovered clues about the giant's existence:

"But there is a pair of footprints next to it. They are slightly smaller, about three or four meters high. Are they the children of the giant the queen mentioned?"

With this thought in his mind, Locke used magic detection and began to follow the traces. He walked towards the forest for more than ten miles and faintly felt the sound of the earth shaking.

"Dong...dong...dong..."

Locke quickly followed and saw two very huge figures walking in the forest from a distance. They were two giants, one tall and one short.

The taller giant was nine meters tall. He was carrying a cylindrical stone pillar covered with patterns, and was covered in a black animal skin. His face looked like he was quite old.

The other giant was only four meters tall, almost half the height of the taller giant.

Locke was on their side, and he recognized that the old giant was the giant that the queen asked him to find. He flashed and came to the sight of the tall giant: "Hello, Giant Ender."

"Who are you? Little bug." Seeing Locke suddenly appearing, the old giant asked with a grin.

'small bug? ! ’ Locke’s mouth twitched, but he still said: “I am Locke, a friend of the queen, and I am here to invite you...”

The process of invitation and persuasion is actually similar to the previous invitation to other old god bloodlines. The giant Ender is a friend that the queen met when she traveled to the mainland before. And according to the queen's knowledge, Ender is not just a person, he actually comes from a tribe of giants.

Seeing the little giant next to Ender, Locke knew that most of what the queen said was true. The queen asked Locke to come to Ender, not just to invite the giant Ander, but to invite the entire tribe of giants where Ender belonged. .

These giants were friendly to Locke, but the final result was not good.

This giant tribe has nearly two hundred people. With its strong strength, regardless of whether the Vatican has discovered them or not, even if it has been discovered, the Vatican cannot attack them at will.

Even according to the giants of the tribe, they defeated the Holy See's crusade three years ago, causing the Holy See to suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, they believed that with their own strength, they were not afraid of the Holy See's crusade, so they rejected Locke's invitation.

However, under Locke's insistence and persuasion, he still left behind a magic prop that could be used for quick communication, indicating that if people from the Holy See appeared again, they could help each other.

The reason why these giants agreed was not because of Locke, but because they knew the queen's power and did not refuse. From this aspect, these giants were quite smart.

However, in Locke's view, since this giant tribe has been discovered, the Holy See will definitely not forget it. There is no crusade now, and it is just busy carrying out the so-called 'holy war', unable to mobilize high-end forces.

In the potion garden before, Locke had seen the power of the Holy See Bishop to summon an angel. Even though Locke's strength was now much stronger than before, he still couldn't block the angel's blow.

Once the Holy See becomes serious, although this giant tribe is strong, it will definitely not be able to resist it. When the queen comes forward, she will definitely have the opportunity to persuade these giants to join.

After failing to recruit giants this time, Locke did not return immediately. Instead, he continued to practice while traveling. Every time he visited a village, Locke would invite people to drink in the tavern and listen to the people in the tavern telling magical stories.

His purpose was to see if he could find traces of fairy tales in these stories, and this time in a small town tavern, a bard's story caught his attention.

“In winter, the fire in the fireplace is burning brightly, warming the whole room. On the dining table are milky white milk, bright red wine, and toasted crispy bread.

The knight's second wife was sitting at the dining table. She was covered in thick fox fur and looked at the girl with cold eyes. The girl was the daughter of the knight's ex-wife.

The knight died a few years ago, and without the knight's attention, the new lady revealed her true nature. She treated the children left by the knight's ex-wife extremely harshly.

Because of the mean stepmother, the girl could only wear old patched clothes, and there was only water and black bread in front of her.

The girl ate the black bread carefully, for fear of making her stepmother angry, and her beautiful appearance made people feel pity for her.

But the stepmother was even more jealous, because her daughter sitting next to her, although wearing luxurious clothes, did not look as good as the girl.

Looking at the heavy snow outside, the new lady suddenly had an idea. She took out a thin coat from somewhere and said to the girl: "Put on this dress and go to the forest to pick some for me." Basket of strawberries, I want to eat them!”

"Oh my god!" The girl opened her eyes wide and said in panic: "How can there be blueberries in winter? The ground is covered with ice and heavy snow has covered everything. Besides, the wind will blow into such thin clothes. , the thorns will tear it apart.”

But the stepmother glared at the girl fiercely: "How dare you talk back to me? Put on this dress and get out! If you don't pick strawberries, don't even think about coming back!"

The girl had no choice. Her father was dead and did not care about her. She could only plead: "Please mom, don't let me go out in such a cold weather. At least wait until it gets warmer outside."

"That's enough. I've raised you for so long, and if you want to eat strawberries, shouldn't you be filial to me?" the stepmother said shamelessly.

The girl had no choice but to put on the thin coat, bring the hard black bread, carry the basket and be kicked out, and enter the forest alone.

It was icy and snowy outside, and the girl who walked into the forest was getting colder and colder, and her hands and feet were getting weaker and weaker.

Just when she was about to pass out, she suddenly found a house with lights on. Perhaps sensing the little girl, the door opened and three dwarves came out of the room.

The little girl was a very polite girl. She greeted the dwarf carefully.

The three dwarves thought the little girl was very polite, so they invited her into the room. The temperature of the flame in the fireplace drove away the chill from her body, and the girl felt very comfortable.

At this time, the girl asked the dwarf where to find strawberries.

The dwarf asked, "Why did you go out to pick strawberries in this weather?"

The girl answered honestly: "My stepmother requires me to pick a basket of strawberries, otherwise I will not be allowed to go home."

At this time, another dwarf said: "Then help me sweep the snow from the back door first."

After hearing this, the girl went to clear the snow obediently. Seeing that the girl was so kind and cute, the three dwarfs decided to give her three blessings.

The first dwarf gave her a blessing: she became more beautiful every day.

The second dwarf gave her a blessing: as soon as she spoke she spit out gold.

The third dwarf gave her a blessing: a king would marry her as his queen in the future. "

At this time, the girl was sweeping the snow outside. After she finished sweeping the snow, she found a large area of ​​red strawberries under the snow!

She was so happy that she picked a basket full, then thanked the three dwarfs and went home.

Since then, the girl has become more and more beautiful, and spits out gold with every word she speaks.

The stepmother's daughter was so jealous that she found out the reason from the girl. She also came to the forest and found the house where the dwarf was.

But she was not polite at all, and she was not willing to help the dwarves clear the snow. The three dwarves were very angry, so each of them gave her a curse. One curse made her become more and more ugly as she grew older, and the other curse made her mouth tremble every time she said a word. A toad jumped out, and the last one cursed her with a bad death in the future.

When the stepmother's daughter returned home, every time she said a word, a toad jumped out of her mouth. Her originally pretty appearance turned out to be uglier and uglier.

Therefore, the stepmother hated the kind girl even more. She thought of a new way to torture the girl. She gave the girl an ax and asked her to dig a hole in the frozen river to wash clothes.

While the girl was enduring the cold and washing clothes, the king passed by. He saw the beautiful girl, fell in love with her immediately, and married her as his queen.

Until one day, the stepmother and his ugly daughter took advantage of the king's absence and threw the girl who was already the queen into the river, and asked the ugly girl to pretend to be the queen.

But the ugly girl was too ugly, and she would spit out a toad when she spoke. The king saw through it, and he rescued the girl and ordered the stepmother and her ugly daughter to be thrown into the river so that they could deserved punishment. "

You can often hear various stories in taverns, most of which are fabricated. But Locke knew that this story must be true because he had read the story "Three Dwarfs in the Forest".
