In the Ape Mountains to the west of Lister.
Due to the mining, the Ape Mountains were not as desolate as before, and more people were living there. However, this was only the surrounding area of the black iron mine and the road to transport the iron mine. In the city’s development plan, Locke did not plan to build large buildings in the mountains, so there were no people living there.
Besides, the other members of Lister wouldn’t come here if they had nothing else to do. It was well known that Lister’s two evils, the ice wolf king and the flame bird, lived in the mountains.
At first, Locke didn’t restrict the movements of the ice wolf king and the flame bird, but he found that it was a wrong decision.
The wolf and the bird jumped in the territory every day, making the territory a mess.
At last, Locke exiled the two troublemakers into the mountains. When they arrived in the mountains, they didn’t stop. Soon, they dominated the mountains. When they went out, a group of magical beasts underling followed them, looking majestic.
On the bank of a lake in the Ape Mountains.
Stars were twinkling in the sky. The night wind blew, bringing the fragrance of water and plants. The lake water was sparkling, reflecting the stars and moon in the sky. By the lake, the dim yellow fire was particularly conspicuous in the night.
At the edge of the fire, a handsome young man was concentrating on flipping the barbecue meat in his hand.
On the huge grill was a deer about two meters high. The golden roast meat sizzled, and the fragrance of the meat overflowed, making people covet it.
Around the young man, the beautiful girl sat quietly. Although she was still holding a magic book, her eyes were already fixed on the barbecue in the young man’s hand.
Next to the stunning girl was another girl in a long black dress. The girl was lying on the table idly, and her eyes were also fixed on the roasted deer legs in the young man’s hands.
On the other side of the fire, a bearded middle-aged man sat on a twirled dead wood, holding a snake cane. Next to them, a muscular man and a cold-faced man in a long robe sat on the ground. On the other side, there was an eight-legged horse, a flame bird with its feather falling, and an ice wolf king. On the head of the ice wolf king stood another flame bird.
It was weird and quiet. Only the sound of leaves blowing in the breeze and lake water knocking could be heard.
The former lively ice wolf king and the flame bird stood obediently behind Badal, looking like his followers. Badal, on the other hand, was even quieter. It was afraid that it would do something out of line and be caught by Asclepius.
About ten minutes later, the barbecue in Locke’s hand was finally done.
After distributing a piece to Athena and the others, he threw a complete deer leg to Badal, the ice wolf king and the flame bird.
The magical beasts, who couldn’t wait any longer, began to gobble down the food. It only took them a while to eat out the deer leg in front of them. After the meal, Badal and the others began to look at the big roasted deer in front of Locke. Seeing this, Locke felt a little helpless. With a wave of his hand, Locke used the magic element to form a sharp blade and cut off half of the roasted deer.
After taking a bite, Hephaestus gave Locke a thumbs up and said, “Locke, I have to say that you are really good at the barbecue.”
“If I can’t live in the future, I’ll open a restaurant.” Locke said with a laugh.
“Locke, I can assure you that your barbecue skill is definitely the best in the whole Grimm Kingdom!” Nora mumbled, chewing the roast meat.
Seeing that Nora was eating happily, Locke said with a smile, “Twenty thousand gold coins for your plate of roast meat.”
Nora’s face froze. She suddenly raised her head and was so angry that she almost smashed the roast meat in her hand on Locke’s face. But considering that such delicious food could not be wasted, she finally controlled herself.
She snorted and seemed to be ready to risk her life. “No money at all!”
While saying that, she continued to eat, ignoring Locke who was sitting opposite her.
After the meal, Locke and the others sat on the grass by the lake and enjoyed their leisure time quietly.
They didn’t know how long they could enjoy such a good day.
Looking at the vast ocean of stars, Locke couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. The impending change must be a super disaster. Father, Uncle Kotter, and Kerton… He had a lot of people to protect.
Thinking of this, Locke became much more determined to speed up the practice and the construction of Lister. Before the dramatic change was brought, he had to be fully prepared!
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. During this time, another part of the Lister project was completed. At the same time, the construction of the teleportation site had been completed in the main city. With the completion of the construction of the teleportation site, the time for people to visit Lister would be greatly reduced. For example, it used to take about four days from Lister to the County City, but now it only took two days to get there.
One day, Locke was not sleepy at all. He got up early and waited for the test.
“Why hasn’t the system started yet?”
At this time, Locke stood on the wall of the castle and looked into the distance at the city that had already taken shape. His strong expectation turned into depression.
Sighing slightly, Locke turned around and was about to go back to the study to read some magic books to kill time.
Ding!
However, at this moment, a clear and emotionless voice rang in Locke’s ear, which made Locke shiver directly. He turned from depression to ecstasy and said, “Coming!”
Taking a deep breath, Locke restrained his excitement and began to wait for the broadcast of the system. He knew that the reward for a main task like this would definitely be very generous.
“The first stage of the task is over. It’s being tested.”
About three seconds later, the sound of the system continued.
“Congratulations, host! Perfect!”
“System reward 1, one summon card. The system reward has been issued to the system space. Please check it.”
“System reward 2, a divine temple forged by Hephaestus. The system reward has been issued to the system space. Please check it.”
It was not until the sound of the system completely disappeared that Locke woke up from the surprise.
A summon card!
A divine temple!
In a surprise, his divine consciousness hurriedly sank into the system space. As expected, he saw a crystal summoning card and a small and exquisite divine temple floating within it.
In the blink of an eye, he had already got the card.
“Summon first.” While murmuring, Locke’s index finger had already clicked on the summoning card.
Just like the previous modes, the moment Locke’s fingertips touched the summoning card, it turned into broken light. The broken light quickly reorganized and formed a light door in front of Locke in the blink of an eye.
The divine light in the portal was unbridled.
A moment later, a black figure appeared in front of the light gate. Although his face could not be seen clearly, it could be seen from her attractive figure that the person he summoned this time should be a goddess.
A goddess? Locke began to recall the name of the female god. Aphrodite, in charge of human love, reproduction and the growth and reproduction of all animals and plants; Demeter, the goddess of grain in the ancient Greek legends; Hestia, the goddess of the stove in the Greek legend…
The figure that gradually became clear in the light door pulled Locke out of his memory.
When Locke saw clearly the goddess coming out of the light door, he was in a daze for a moment.
