Chapter 54

On a hill on the right side of the castle, Locke, Athena, Asclepius, and Hephaestus were standing side by side.

In front of them, a delicate divine temple was floating, emitting a faint blue mysterious energy like clouds.

After discussion, Locke decided to put the divine temple on the small mountain on the east side of the castle.

“It’s better for you to put your thing.”

Looking at the mountains in front of them, Locke said to Asclepius.

Asclepius nodded with a smile. With a light tap of his cane, the divine temple turned into a beam of light and flew out.

At the same time, the divine temple rapidly expanded, instantly turning into a hill-sized palace floating in the air. The huge palace reflected a boundless shadow on the ground.

After a day’s mining, the five residents were drinking in the yard. Under the leadership of Locke, the lives of Lister’s residents had undergone tremendous changes. Especially after mining for ores, they had obtained a stable income.

Just as they were drinking happily, one of them dropped the bottle in his hand with a “bang” on the ground.

The sharp sound of the broken bottle awakened the rest of them.

“Jeff, you are too weak, ha-ha.”

“You were drunk with only one bottle.”

“Yes, so weak. If you go back tonight, I’m afraid you’ll be disliked by your wife. Ha-ha.”

The rest of them laughed and shouted, but they suddenly found that there was something wrong with Jeff’s expression.

Jeff’s eyes were wide open and dull as if he had seen something horrible. His mouth was so big that it could swallow a goose egg.

“That… What is it?”

Jeff pointed at the floating divine temple in the distance and said in a trembling voice.

The other three people looked in the direction of his finger and were instantly stunned. They couldn’t help but rub their eyes to confirm if the scene they saw was real.

Thump!

“God! God is coming!”

Finally, one of them knelt excitedly and worshiped the divine temple devoutly.

The rest of them also quickly knelt on the ground with respectful faces.

Attracted by the screams, the residents came out one after another. When they saw the divine temple floating and emitting divine light, they directly knelt on the ground.

In the distance, the divine temple fell on the mountain and had integrated with the mountain.

At this moment, with the divine temple as the center, the invisible energy began to spread around the whole area of Lister.

With a wave of his cane, Asclepius suppressed the other fluctuations emitted from the divine temple.

“Let’s go and have a look.”

Athena smiled sweetly and flew towards the divine temple with Locke. The two of them smiled at each other and followed up.

The four flew over the pier wall and directly arrived at the square inside the divine temple.

In front of the main hall, there was a wide divine road paved with stone bricks. In the middle of the road stood a jade pillar, on which there was a carved lifelike long snake.

On both sides of the road stood two rows of beautifully carved jade pillars, the top of which were inlaid with sparkling luminous pearls. In the dark night, the luminous pearls shone gorgeous light, lighting up the whole road.

As they continued to walk up, they saw the main hall of the divine temple. Its style was an ancient Greek Doric-columned. In front of the main hall were four Doric pillars and the foundation of the platform were three simple steps.

The lintel at the entrance of the main hall was read, “The god of death is not allowed to enter.” In this way, the patients would be greatly encouraged and have the confidence to defeat the pain.

Beside the main hall, there were more than 10 palaces of various sizes, including the treatment hall, the medicine refining hall, and so on.

When they entered the main hall, at the front of it was a statue of Asclepius, which held a walking stick. Compared with Asclepius beside Locke, the statue was more dignified and solemn.

There were four exquisitely carved jade pillars in the hall. The luminous pearls on the roof illuminated the hall as if it was daytime. The entire hall was reserved and elegant.

“How’s it going? Is it good?”

Asclepius smiled and asked Hephaestus.

“Ha-ha~”

Looking at the proud expression on Asclepius’s face, Hephaestus curled his lips and said, “My divine temple is much more magnificent than yours.”

Asclepius didn’t get angry at all. He laughed and showed the three around.

On the other side, the residents of Lister had gathered in front of the gate of the divine temple. They were afraid of being punished by gods, so they didn’t dare to act rashly. They all carefully watched at the gate.

Kotter, Kerton, and the others also woke up from practice and rushed to the gate of the divine temple as fast as they could.

Half an hour later, Locke and the other three walked out of the divine temple.

“My lord,”

The residents all bowed to Locke and then greeted the three of them.

“My people, this divine temple is also a gift from gods. It will protect Lister, just like Victory Temple of Athena.”

Looking at the eagerness in residents’ eyes, Locke continued with a smile, “Therefore, everyone needs to repay the favor of gods with your devout faith!”

Compared with the appearance of Victory Temple of Athena last time, the residents were much calmer, but they were still very excited and happy.

With Locke’s permission, Lister’s residents began to worship the divine temple. When they saw the familiar figure in the divine temple, they were shocked again.

Was… Was Mr. Asclepius also the spokesperson chosen by gods in the world?

At this point, their worship of Asclepius reached the point of complete fervor.

First, it was Miss Athena, and now it was Mr. Asclepius, so would it be Hephaestus next?

At the thought of this possibility, Kotter and Kerton couldn’t help but tremble. They looked at each other and found that the other party’s eyes were filled with shock.

In the castle, Locke had already washed up and was lying comfortably on the bed, waiting for the system test at twelve o’clock.

Finally, twelve o’clock came.

“Ding!”

“The test of the second divine temple is over. The number of people of belief is being tested.”

“Asclepius owns 230 faith points.”

The voice of the system ended. Locke opened the attribute panel to check the change of the points on the board.

After browsing the data on the attribute panel, Locke was a little disappointed that the system didn’t release any reward this time.

After being depressed for a while, Locke shrugged and didn’t feel upset. He was not a greedy man.

Ding~

“You have been targeted by the powerful Brandon family. As a qualified lord, you have to make your territory stronger to fight against the enemy!”

“Releasing system task: developing Lister into a powerful and rich city. Time limit: 2 years.”

“Stage 1: developing the number of territorial citizens, building territorial infrastructure, and carrying out housing construction. Time limit: 6 months.”

Just as he comforted himself and was about to go to bed, the voice of the system rang again.
