“The magic of level 9 is called ‘forbidden incantation’. It is one of the strongest strengths in the world, and its attacking range can cover more than 1,000 kilometers. It is said that a kingdom has offended a forbidden mage, but it was destroyed by this forbidden mage the second day.”
“But in the past hundred years, it seems that no one has seen forbidden mages.”
“Of course, god mages above forbidden mages haven’t appeared for thousands of years.”
In the hall, Locke was chatting with Athena. Most of the time, Locke was talking and Athena was listening.
“Ding ~Athena fondness increased by 1 point.”
“Ding ~Athena upgrades fondness of the host to a ‘normal’ level. Reward: A one drop of blood of the snake-haired demoness, Gorgon, held by Athena.”
Locke was thrilled to hear the familiar system message. After half a month, he finally raised Athena’s fondness to the “normal” level!
The blood of the snake-haired demoness, Gorgon, was said to be something that could bring people back to life!
‘Ha-ha, refreshing fondness is the key!’
Locke exclaimed with joy.
Just as Locke was about to continue the anecdotes on the continent, he suddenly saw Athena’s face darken and an extremely cold breath rose from her.
Locke was confused by the sudden change.
How could gods be so willful? Athena changed her face so quickly.
But when he carefully felt, he found that the coldness of Athena was not aimed at him.
Athena frowned slightly and looked out of the castle as if her eyes could penetrate the thick stone wall.
“Let’s talk about the matter in Icacia Continent later. Now we have to solve the current problem first.”
After a while, Athena looked away and said something that made Locke more confused.
But the next moment, he understood.
The sound of weapons colliding came from outside the castle. It was obvious that something had happened.
How could there be sounds of fighting in the castle!
Locke’s face darkened, and a bad feeling quickly surged up. He rushed out of the door.
Before he took a few steps, he saw a figure covered with blood rushing towards him. When he looked carefully, he immediately recognized that the person in front of him was the knight, Becky.
“Master Locke”
Becky rushed over anxiously. When he saw Locke, he shouted, “The territory is attacked by the robbers! We are about to lose control. You’d better run away from the back of the castle!”
A gang of robbers?
Locke’s heart sank. Lister was famous for being poor. How could a group of bandits appear in such a place?
But Locke also knew that it was not the right time to think about it. No matter why the robbers appeared in Lister, their cruelty would not change. The unarmed civilians of Lister would face a one-sided slaughter!
Although Locke hadn’t experienced dealing with bandits, he didn’t panic. He asked in a deep voice, “Tell me the situation outside first.”
“Kerton is leading retinues to resist, but the number of bandits is large, and the leader of the robbers is the level-1 warrior. They won’t be able to resist for long!”
“Master Locke, please leave here quickly. Let’s buy some more time for you!”
Becky held his sword and looked determined. He knew very well that without the presence of Kotter, they would have no chance of winning against the brigands led by the level-1 warrior.
“Becky, I won’t leave.”
Locke shook his head and refused Becky’s suggestion. What a joke! A god was standing beside him. The terrible bandits should be afraid!
“Master Locke, you must leave!”
When he heard that Locke was unwilling to leave, Becky raised his voice. Hearing the fiercer sound of fighting outside, he became more anxious.
Shaking his head again, Locke’s eyes flashed with coldness. “Lister is my territory. How can I abandon my territory and escape? Since the bandits dare to come, they have to accept the harshest judge!”
Then Locke looked at Athena and said in a low voice, “But I’m afraid I have to rely on your strength this time.”
Becky was stunned and his words of persuasion were stuck in his throat.
Was Master Locke scared to death? Although they also knew that Miss Athena had extraordinary wisdom and could see through the flaws of level-1 fighting skills, it was another thing. This was not to modify fighting skills, but to resist murderous brigands!
It was not his fault to be so suspicious. After all, Athena had never shown her strength in front of them.
“Although they are some low-end brigands, their auras are disgusting.”
Athena frowned and nodded approvingly. She continued, “Although I don’t want to make a move, I can indeed lend you a portion of strength.”
At this time, Athena slowly raised her fair hand. A pearl-sized light grain lit up on the tip of her slender index finger. She lightly tapped it, and the light grain instantly merged into Locke’s body from his forehead.
Locke instantly felt an unparalleled strength pouring into his body. With the support of Athena’s strength, he even felt that he could smash the castle with a punch. The powerful strength made him nostalgic.
Locke suddenly remembered that Athena had told him that she couldn’t exert all her strength because there was no faith in this world.
This was strength!
Holding his hands, Locke’s eyes were full of excitement and passion.
Sensing the powerful and mysterious aura from Locke, Becky was too shocked to say anything. Was this Miss Athena’s strength?
“Thank you.”
Locke said to Athena gratefully. After saying that, he took the lead in rushing to the direction of the sound of weapons fighting.
Becky also reacted and hurried to follow Locke.
At the gate of the castle, the robbers had been beaten back and were ready for the next round of attack.
Sam had more than a dozen blade wounds on his body, and some parts of his body had exposed white bones, while Kerton was a little better. But there were also several blades on Kerton’s body, and more than 20 retinues were also injured in different degrees.
Sam’s armor had already been dyed red with blood. Looking at the surrounding bandits, he tightened his grip on the long sword. “Kerton, it seems that we have to die here today.”
“But everything is worth it. Master Locke must have left the castle safely!”
Leaning against the wall, Kerton breathed heavily. Looking at the direction of the castle behind him, he grinned.
Sam nodded approvingly with red eyes. Master Locke had treated them well, which was a return to Master Locke.
At the same time, Sam saw two figures blurrily.
“Shit! Becky, what an idiot! Didn’t we ask him to escort Master Locke out? Why did he come back with Master Locke?”
However, when he saw the figures’ appearances clearly, Sam was first stunned, and then roared angrily.
