I Can Summon All the Gods

After taking away all the weapons of the bandits, Athena reminded Kerton to execute more than 10 bandits covered with heavy blood aura.

These brigands were definitely full of malice, with much innocent blood on their hands.

Except for those who had been killed, there were a total of 73 bandits who surrendered.

Locke also knew from these bandits that many of them were civilians in the territory near Lister. They only knew that their chief came from a great force. With this identity, they didn't need to worry about the army besieging them.

Moreover, after robbing the trade caravan, they would also have a certain share of interests. Except for this information, these bandits knew nothing

Since he couldn't ask anything, Locke decided to let it go. The most important thing for him now was to build Lister and complete the task.

Led by a bandit, Locke found the bandit's treasure house.

Locke almost drooled at the wealth of the treasure house. Gold coins, precious porcelains, weapons, medicinal materials, and so on were all in a variety.

"Master Locke, this time we have collected a total of 10 thousand gold coins, 2 level-1 swords, some pieces of cloth and many typed of porcelain, and a large number of precious herbs. We can't estimate the specific value."

Kerton rubbed his hands and excitedly reported the revenue to Locke.

10 thousand gold coins!

Although Locke knew that the bandits might have a lot of money, he was still shocked when he heard the number. Even the whole Capet family couldn't afford 10 thousand gold coins now!

This was 10 thousand gold coins. It was enough for him to repair all the Lister.

Unfortunately, the level-2 magic wand was broken by Athena's fireball spell. Otherwise, it would be worth at least 10 thousand gold coins.

But apart from gold coins, there were also many other valuable things. What surprised Locke most was that he found the magic book on level-2 defensive magic, the fire shield Angus had displayed at Angus's residence!

Ha-ha, it was a good deal this time!

Locke thought happily and then ordered Kerton, "I see. Bring the gold coins and the useful items to us and get ready to go back."

Kerton nodded and went to make arrangements.

With the captives and three chariots of spoils, Locke and his team set off happily for the territory!

Perhaps the bandits were shocked by the terror of Locke and Athena, and they cooperated well along the way without any accident.

Although the procession was large, the forward speed was not slow. In the evening, the procession was only two kilometers away from Lister.

"Click! Click!"

Locke heard the galloping of a horse in front of him.

As the sound approached, Locke found that it was none other than Kotter and Hansen.

"Thank God, Master Locke. You are all right!"

Seeing that Locke, Kerton, and the others were safe and sound, Kotter finally felt relieved.

At noon, he and Hansen had just come back from Bone City. When they saw the mess outside the castle, they guessed that something big must have happened. After they knew that Locke had taken people to attack the brigands' fortress, they were almost scared to death!

Especially from the bandits who were caught, they knew that the chief was a level-2 mage. The two men, Kotter and Hansen, were deathly pale.

A level-2 mage that was not something they could deal with! Kotter just hoped that his master would shrink back from difficulties and not provoke the other party.

With a glimmer of hope, the two of them rode after them.

At first, hearing the footsteps of a large group of people in front of him, Kotter's heart skipped a beat. He thought something had happened to Locke and the others, and Black Rock Bandits planned to make trouble in Lister.

When they saw Locke and the group of obedient bandits, the two of them were shocked.

"Master Locke, are these the bandits from Black Rock Bandits?"

Looking at the bandits who were tied with ropes on their hands, Kotter was still unable to react. Were the bandits broken through by Master Locke?

Hansen was too shocked to say a word.

Locke nodded with a smile, "Of course, we defeated the bandits."

Kotter let Kerton tell him what had happened during the whole process.

It was not until then that Locke realized Kerton was how good at telling stories. In Kerton's vivid narration, both Kotter and Hansen exclaimed from time to time, as if they had experienced the scene of fighting.

Hearing the exaggerated description from Kerton, Locke just smiled helplessly and turned to chat with Athena.

When Kerton's narrative ended, both Kotter and Hansen looked at Athena who was riding side by side with Locke.

In the eyes of the two, there was incomparable admiration and respect.

Soon, they returned to the castle.

The residents of Lister didn't go out to work today. They were all anxiously waiting for Locke to come back, worrying about Locke.

In more than a month, they had completely recognized Locke as the lord.

Locke's victory naturally caused a shock, and his prestige reached its peak instantly.

After coming back, Locke handed the two rounds of bandit captives over to Kotter.

Kotter and Hansen went to Bone City to recruit new employees. The price was also high, but when they knew that the place to work was poor Lister, many people directly gave up.

How about Lister? It was synonymous with poverty and desolation. They didn't know whether they could get their salary or not. If there was an accident, it was a problem whether they could come back or not.

In the end, only more than 10 men were willing to come to Lister. But now, with nearly 100 bandits captured, Lister suddenly added more than 100 labor forces.

Locke had enough people and money to complete the task now as soon as possible. Not only to finish the task but also to improve the level of completing the task.

So he asked Kotter to hire craftsmen with a lot of money to guide the construction of Lister. In addition to craftsmen, he also bought a lot of materials that were needed for repairing the castle.

After arranging all these, Locke entered daily practice.

With the help of gold coins, many exquisite wooden houses rose from the ground one by one, and the dilapidated castle was gradually changed.

A month later, the hall of the castle was not as dilapidated as it used to be. Instead, it was decorated with a gorgeous and exquisite crystal chandelier. The stone pillars had been replaced with exquisitely carved jade pillars. Water-cloud-sand marble floors and first-class phoebe table... In general, it was luxurious but connotative.

An old man with a white beard reported respectfully to Locke, "My lord, all the buildings of the castle and Lister have been completed."

He was Rowen, the leader of the craftsmen.

"Ding~ I have detected that host has completed the task and is checking the degree of completion of the task."

After Rowen finished his report, a voice that only he could hear rang in Locke's mind again.

"Detection completed. Congratulations to the host for completing the task. Task Completion Level: Perfect. Mission Reward 1: 2,000 pounds of Demeter's potatoes (A product improved by Demeter, the goddess of the harvest, suitable for barren land and yielding a good amount.)."

Improved potatoes? Locke nodded his head. Now Lister had a big problem with food except accommodation.

The land here was barren and the natural environment was bad. The annual harvest of residents' farmlands could not even satisfy subsistence.

This reward did solve his pressing problem.

Locke didn't show too much surprise and excitement. He continued to wait for the broadcast of the system. According to the prompt just now, there were other rewards.

Could it be an opportunity to summon gods? At that time, he might be able to summon out Asclepius. Locke thought expectantly.

"Task Reward 2: Victory Temple of Athena."

The prompt tone of the system rang again. Hearing the reward, Locke was first stunned, and then ecstatic.

It was the Victory Temple of Athena! With the temple, the function of the faith point could be activated, and Athena's strength could also be restored and improved!

Moreover, in his previous life, he had seen the recovery picture of Victory Temple of Athena, which was very magnificent!

At this time, the task reward was also distributed to the system zone.

Locke looked around and saw an exquisite divine temple floating in the air, including the wall, the statue of Athena, the jade pillar, and the stone carving... It had everything just like the micro carvings seen by Locke in his previous life, which was a mini version of the Victory Temple of Athena!

The only difference was that the divine temple was more exquisite and marvelous than the micro sculptures.
