Chapter 82

Outside Dikas City, two horses were galloping with a carriage. Around the carriage, there were another eight people following it like guards.

Sam and the others looked at the leading man in front of the carriage with deep respect.

Facing the burning eyes of others, the middle-aged man looked as usual and took off the wine bag to drink from time to time.

In the carriage, Locke was holding a black card with a smirk on his face. This was a black card sent by Rowell. It contained all the property of the Tiger Mercenary Team, about 600 thousand gold coins.

Before leaving, the magical beasts he had hunted in the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts in his system zone were sold to Treasure Pavilion and he obtained nearly 200 thousand gold coins. If it weren’t for the fact that he was in a hurry to transport the original crystal back, he would have hunted more magical beasts here.

Seeing the silly smile on Locke’s face, Athena rolled her eyes and shook her head helplessly. “Look at you.”

Locke didn’t take Athena’s words seriously.

That was 600 thousand gold coins!

It was the first time that he had seen so much money since he came to this world for more than ten years!

Anne, who was aside, looked helpless and lowered her head to read the storybook in her hand.

Just as everyone was moving forward, the sound of a horse’s galloping came.

In the blink of an eye, Sleipnir appeared in front of everyone.

“I haven’t run so fast for a long time. It’s so good!”

After a long howl, Sleipnir said leisurely.

Locke and Athena were reading magic books in Mage Guild, while Sleipnir had nothing to do. Therefore, he left Dikas City early. With his speed, no one else knew how he came out.

Sam and the others were stunned and didn’t seem to react. Did they hear the eight-legged horse talk just now?

Even Pierce, who was at the front of the team, held the bottle with his hands frozen and lost in thought for a moment.

Under normal circumstances, only the level-6 magical beast could speak!

Although he also knew that some magical beasts with powerful bloodlines could speak in advance, he could not find any information about the eight-legged horse in his memory.

Moreover, he didn’t feel any energy from this lightning-fast eight-legged horse.

The lord was getting more and more mysterious.

Pierce sometimes doubted if Locke was a disciple to practice outside from a top family of Icacia Continent.

“Humph!”

Seeing the surprised look on everyone’s face, Sleipnir snorted and walked to the front of the team.

Seeing that Sleipnir walked up to him and stared at his wine bag, Pierce hesitated for a moment and threw the wine bag in his hand.

Sleipnir swallowed the wine in one gulp and spit the bag out. With a satisfied smile, he said, “Boy, I like your character. I’ll protect you if you need anything in the future!”

Protecting him? Although he was injured, he was also a level-6 practitioner. How could a horse say that wanting to protect him?

The corners of Pierce’s mouth twitched slightly, but he didn’t take it seriously. Instead, he looked at the wine bag on the ground with a little heartache but didn’t reply.

After two days of driving, they finally arrived in the city with the teleportation site. Because of the identity of the mage, Locke saved 5000 gold coins through the teleportation site.

After two teleportation’s and two days of driving, Locke and the others were only less than 100 kilometers away from Lister. During these days, Locke often sought Pierce to learn swordsmanship, and Pierce did not keep it to himself but taught Locke everything.

Looking around at the deserted scene, the young man next to Sam with a sigh, as if it was the first time he had seen such a desolate scene.

Moreover, they clearly found that the further they walked, the worse the environment would be. It was hard to believe that it was already so barren now, so how bad would Lister be!

At dusk, the setting sun covered figures of the group of people. In the dim yellow light, Locke and Athena finally saw a familiar border stela.

Sam and the others were stunned by the green and vibrant scene in front of them. It felt like they were walking in a desert, and an oasis suddenly appeared in front of him, which was somewhat fantastic.

“Respected Lord, welcome back!”

Kerton quickly walked out of the territory with his people and bowed to Locke.

Locke nodded slightly, indicating that Kerton didn’t need to be courteous. To his surprise, he had just been out for half a month and Kerton had entered the breakthrough of the level-2 knight.

“Ouch!”

An exciting howl came, and a white figure rushed out of the territory.

“This is the level-2 ice wolf!”

Sam’s face changed and instantly recognized what the magical beast it was. On the body of the ice wolf king, there was a red magical beast with the aura of level 1.

At the same time, the team members behind Sam also grabbed their weapons subconsciously.

However, although they were nervous, they seemed to be able to see that the relationship between the magical beasts and the territory was unusual, so they did not attack immediately.

Soon, the two magical beasts arrived in front of Locke and Athena. They groaned and cheered.

“Little guys, be quiet.”

Sleipnir shouted with dissatisfaction when he saw the movements of the ice wolf king and the flame bird.

The originally excited flame bird let out a scream and fell directly like a sculpture, falling on the trembling ice wolf king.

Locke smiled and said nothing when he saw the flame bird and the ice wolf king get trembling because of fear. The two beasts were indeed too noisy. Except for him and gods like Athena, they didn’t seem to be afraid of anyone. They usually jumped up and down in the territory, and it was time to teach them a good lesson.

Sleipnir nodded. He just wanted to frighten the flame bird and the ice wolf king. He looked at somewhere in the territory and turned to Locke and Athena. “Well, I’m leaving now.”

Sleipnir turned into a light and disappeared in the blink of an eye. It had already sensed several familiar auras in the territory.

So fast! Seeing Sleipnir disappear in front of the crowd in an instant, Kerton felt a little scared and sighed in his heart. As for Sam and others, they didn’t feel surprised. After getting along with Sleipnir for a few days, they had gotten used to his horrible speed.

Seeing that Sleipnir had already entered the territory, Locke turned to Pierce and the others and said, “Welcome to Lister. From now on, everyone is a member of Lister. Let’s witness the development and growth of Lister together!”

“Go home!”

Following Locke’s order, the convoy continued to drive towards the territory.

Pierce’s eyes widened when he entered the territory. He could clearly feel that the running speed of the fighting spirit in his body had increased a little. The density of fighting spirit in the entire territory was comparable to that of some giant cities!

What surprised him most was that there was a mysterious force healing the wounds in his body! As a level-6 practitioner, the wounds in his body were not something that ordinary people or medicine was enough to treat. But just now, he felt that the wounds in his body were recovering. Although this recovery was negligible, it was indeed in recovery!

Maybe… He was right. Looking ahead at the carriage where Locke was, Pierce revealed a small, imperceptible smile.

Although Sam and the others also felt a little different, they didn’t have such a deep feeling because the level was not high enough.

However, they were still very surprised at everything in the territory. They felt that the whole territory was especially like the idyllic paradise that was isolated from the world and the people lived and worked in peace.

When they saw the two towering divine temples in the distance of the castle, whether it was Sam, who had traveled all the way, experienced and knowledgeable, or as a level-6 practitioner, Pierce, who had a very high vision, all froze in place, with indescribable shock in their eyes.
