Chapter 37

The two and a wolf continued to walk into the depths of the mountain range.

The jungle became low and finally disappeared. A scene full of black gravels appeared in front of Locke and the others.

To everyone’s surprise, the gravels were not ordinary rocks. They were sharp edges, and they were black crystal stones that had been smashed, reflecting a deep luster in the sun.

It was an open-air mine!

Locke trotted over and picked up a crystal-like ore. Feeling the coldness from the ore, he breathed more heavily.

Yes, this was the appearance of the black iron ore he had seen on the books!

“It’s really the black iron mine!”

Holding the ore, Locke shouted as he waved at Athena behind him with an excited expression.

Athena also walked up slowly and looked at the ores in Locke’s hands.

The ice wolf king tilted his head and sniffed at an ore on the ground. Then he walked away in disgust. Seeing Locke holding the ore excitedly, his eyes revealed a kind of humanized doubt.

Was the man stupid? Locke held a stone and giggled?

“Ding~ I have detected that host has obtained a black iron mine.”

“Congratulations to host for obtaining a summon card.”

The familiar cold voice of the system came to Locke’s mind again.

An opportunity to summon?

Was this double happiness!

Looking at the summoning card in the system zone, Locke was extremely excited. Without hesitation, he took out the summoning card and was ready to summon.

Seeing that Locke took out a mysterious card, Athena seemed to have guessed something. She stared at the card quietly with a curious expression.

With Locke’s click, the summoning card trembled slightly, and the light door appeared in front of Locke for the third time.

“Is this the door of summoning?”

Staring at the light door, Athena’s face changed slightly, and a strange light flashed in her beautiful eyes. “The power of summoning gods at will might have surpassed Zeus, the king of gods.”

The universe was vast and boundless, and there were indeed more mysterious and powerful existences.

Divine light full of the light door, a tall figure stepped out.

A few seconds later, a muscular man with a giant hammer appeared in front of the two men and a wolf.

The strong man looked around in surprise.

“God of forging, Hephaestus.”

Looking at the strong man, Athena called out his name.

“Athena?”

Hearing that, Hephaestus’s face froze. He was surprised to meet an acquaintance. He put the hammer on his shoulder and smiled, “It seems that I’m not the first person to come here.”

Locke didn’t expect that he would summon the god of forging, Hephaestus, this time!

‘Wow, it’s the system, what I lack comes!’

The joy in Locke’s heart was indescribable. He restrained his excitement and greeted with a smile, “Hello, Hephaestus. I’m Locke Capet.”

When Hephaestus walked towards Locke, he shook slightly as if he was limping, but it didn’t affect his speed at all.

“Locke…”

Curiously looking at Locke from head to toe, Hephaestus smiled and reached out his hand. “Hello, Locke.”

After greeting Locke, Hephaestus waved at ice wolf king and said, “Hello.”

The ice wolf king looked at Hephaestus with a little fear. He also felt a threatening aura from Hephaestus.

Seeing Hephaestus greeting him, the ice wolf king responded with a low voice.

Locke felt funny when he saw Hephaestus greeting the ice wolf king. This god of forging seemed to be more enthusiastic than Asclepius.

Hephaestus picked up the black iron ore on the ground, nodded, and said with satisfaction, “Well, not bad. There are ores that can be used to forge here. Although the quality is a little poor, they can still make a lot of things.”

Locke finally realized that this god of forging was really obsessed with refining skills.

“Since we have found the location of the ores, let’s go back first. I’ll arrange for someone to mine.” Looking at Athena and the newly summoned Hephaestus, Locke suggested with a smile.

Athena nodded in agreement. Then she looked at Hephaestus and the ice wolf king and said with a faint smile, “You two, go back by yourselves.”

After saying that, Athena and Locke turned into a beam of light and flew towards the direction they came.

“Although the divine power in my body is not strong, it is still possible to follow them.”

Looking in the direction where Athena and Locke disappeared, Hephaestus turned to the ice wolf king and said, “Then I’m leaving now. You go back alone.”

After saying that, Hephaestus floated up and flew in the direction of Athena.

Seeing that everyone had left, the ice wolf king began to run wildly. Although there were many stone bushes in the forest, they did not affect the speed of the ice wolf king at all. In a few breaths, the ice wolf king had disappeared from the open space and entered the forest.

In midair, Locke opened the attribute panel.

Unknowingly, there were already three gods. Looking at the gradually enriched attribute panel, Locke was in a good mood.

In about forty minutes, Locke and Athena arrived at the place where they had tied the horses.

A few minutes later, Hephaestus also arrived.

To Locke’s surprise, the speed of the ice wolf king was also quite fast, but less than ten minutes behind them.

As soon as the ice wolf king appeared, the two horses became restless. Although the ice wolf king had restrained his hostility, the natural pressure brought by the level-2 magical beast still made the two black horses jump uneasily.

If they flew over like this, the residents of Lister would be scared to death. Therefore, the three of them decided to choose a low profile. The ice wolf king naturally became one of the riders.

Just as the three of them were discussing who would ride the ice wolf king, the ice wolf king took a weak look at Hephaestus and moved closer to Locke and Athena.

“It seems that I can only ride a horse.”

Seeing the ice wolf king’s expression, Hephaestus shrugged his shoulders and seemed to have some regrets.

And Athena seemed to prefer riding the horse, so only Locke was left.

The ice wolf king squatted down obediently to let Locke sit on him.

Locke found that riding on the ice wolf king didn’t make him uncomfortable as he thought it would be.

“Let’s go!”

Riding on the ice wolf king, Locke felt a little proud suddenly in his mind. The ice wolf king roared and ran towards Lister.

Howl~

A howl of a wolf passed through the buildings and spread in the residential area of Lister.

“Damn it! Wolves are coming to attack our territory!”

The expression on Kotter’s face changed and he rushed out with his bid sword. Judging from the wolves howling just now, the strength of the wolves coming this time was much stronger than last time.

In addition to Kotter, Kerton and the others also rushed towards the wolf howl with weapons.

Click~ Click~

It was getting closer!

Hearing the sound of sharp claws rubbing against the ground from afar, Kotter and the others couldn’t help but tighten their grip on their weapons.

“They are coming!”

Kotter reminded Kerton and others.

At dusk, a vigorous figure rushed to the residence area of Lister.

“Something is wrong…”

Looking at the figure of the giant wolf, Kotter narrowed his eyes and seemed to see something incredible.

On the back of the giant wolf, there seemed to be a familiar figure.

The moment they saw the figure clearly, both the guards including Kotter and the residents who came to help with defense were completely petrified.
