Hearing Locke’s words, Harrington turned to look at Thanatos. Then, as soon as she looked over, he saw Thanatos nodding slowly. “It’s rubbish.”
Harrington went crazy. Finally, she could only look at Athena.
“What they said…” Athena added, “It’s true.” Her heart was broken.
They were all arrogant!
Harrington clenched her fists and looked at them with hatred. ‘Humph! I’ll show you how awesome Holmes is when I arrive at King City!’
As a magical beast at the top level of level-7, Holmes’s combat effectiveness was comparable to that of the level-8 practitioner.
But… Dorothy once said that Athena and the others were a little strong. Did… Did they tell the truth?
However, this thought suddenly flashed through her mind. No! Holmes was one of the best in the north of Icacia Continent. No matter how strong Athena and the others were, they might not be able to defeat Holmes.
After all, although both of them were level-7 masters, Holmes could kill Dorothy in a few seconds.
“If you don’t leave, we will leave you here!”
Just as she was struggling, Badal urged her.
She snorted and followed them quickly.
Before long, they arrived outside the city.
“It turns out that this place is really as desolate as it is described in the book.” Looking at the surrounding desolate scenery, Harrington couldn’t help but doubt, “Locke, are you sure you are not in the wrong direction?”
Under normal circumstances, in places with a poor natural environment, magic elements and fighting spirit would also be relatively thin. Therefore, this kind of place really didn’t seem to be a place where powerful people like Athena could appear.
Locke smiled and said to Sleipnir, “Let’s go.”
Howl!
Sleipnir let out a long roar and ran towards Lister, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
“It flew away…” Looking at the little black dot gradually disappearing in the sky, Harrington opened her eyes wide and said in a dull tone.
Although she often heard Sleipnir brag about how powerful it was, she had never believed it. All the time, she had only regarded Sleipnir as a weird magical beast who could only boost.
She didn’t expect that Sleipnir could fly. Moreover, just now, she was sure that Sleipnir seemed to be faster than Holmes!
“Stop looking. Let’s go.” When she was still in shock, she heard the voice of Thanatos behind her.
At the same time, she only felt a powerful force descending on her. Then she felt a strong sense of weightlessness. When she realized it, she was six hundred or seven hundred feet away from the ground.
Although it was quite sudden, fortunately, she had a lot of such flying experiences, so she quickly came to her senses.
Sure enough, Thanatos was also a super powerful man!
Taking a deep breath, Harrington suppressed her shock. Under normal circumstances, only level-6 practitioners could fly in the air, and only practitioners of level 7 or above, could fly with other people relying on their powerful strength.
However, different from other practitioners’ direct flight with magic power or fighting spirit, this place was more like an independent space, and its feet were like a transparent crystal, just like a person stepping on the ground.
Although she didn’t know how to achieve this, it was obvious that it was very difficult to do it. The person she admired most didn’t use it.
She stood with her hands behind her back, like a god in the world.
She stared blankly at the Thanatos in front of her, her beautiful eyes shining with a different luster.
The scenery on the ground quickly shrank and retreated.
“Sir Thanatos, please wait for me!”
At the same time, there was a panting sound.
In about ten minutes, Thanatos and Harrington dropped.
They got closer to Lister.
In front of them, there were rows of small buildings. The street was crowded with people and peddlers. Although it was not as large as those big cities, it was lively. In the setting sun, the two palaces like buildings were wrapped by faint dim, which indistinctly drew a vague and lofty outline, making people feel worship.
As the two descended, the palace’s appearance became clearer, and Harrington became more and more shocked.
Puff!
As they descended again, the two landed on the ground, and the hall that was winding along also disappeared from the horizon.
“What… What was that?” Swallowing, she pointed in the direction of the palace and asked.
“The divine temples.” Looking in the direction of the two divine temples, Thanatos replied flatly. While he was speaking, he had already walked towards Locke and Athena.
She was stunned again. Divine temples? A temple of god? Do the people in Lister also believe in god?
As far as she knew, there were many places that would believe in their own gods, and the Grimm Kingdom did not interfere in this. After all, the gods were one of the methods to protect the rule.
However, because god had always been a legendary existence, there was no god’s belief in most areas now, including the royal family of Grimm Kingdom.
While she was still in shock, Locke and Athena also arrived at the entrance of Lister.
At the entrance, many guards were maintaining order.
Giles, the captain of the guards, was checking. When he saw Locke, he was shocked. Then he rushed to him quickly and shouted in surprise, “Master Locke, you’re finally back!”
The other guards finally came to their senses. They quickly lined up and respectfully shouted, “Sir.”
“Giles,” Locke nodded with a smile. Looking at the people around him who were still in a daze, he said with a smile, “It seems that Lister is doing well.”
They hadn’t seen each other for a long time, and Giles had already become a level-2 practitioner. When he came to Lister, Giles was just an ordinary person. It was amazing that he could become a level-2 practitioner in such a short time.
“It’s all your credit, Master Locke.”
Giles sighed. Who would have thought that the poor Lister would have such a look today?
“Sir.”
At this time, the people passing by also reacted and bowed one after another. They looked at Locke and Athena with deep respect. What happened in the County City had been spread all over the Naton County these days!
“You’re welcome.” Locke shook his head, looked at the crowd and said with a smile, “I’m glad that you are willing to live, do business and study in Lister. I also believe that because of your arrival and trust, Lister will become a richer and stronger place…”
After a few simple words, Locke and the others didn’t stay any longer and went straight into the territory.
Lister had undergone a tremendous change. There were many shops, and everything was in order. Locke had to admit that Count Capet was better at city management than him. Lister had been taken care of in such a short time.
“Sir, Miss Athena,”
On the street, there were shopkeepers coming up to greet them from time to time. These were the aboriginals of Lister. With the development of Lister, they naturally became the ones who made the biggest profit. Some people started to run hotel restaurants, and some others did business. On the whole, everyone was having a good time.
They respected Locke from the bottom of their hearts. After all, before Locke came, Lister had been desolate. It was all Locke’s credit for their current situation.
