348 Chapter 348 Small City Scenery
Locke took a deep breath and the small universe began to rotate. In just a few minutes, his wounds had been healed. Although Athena made a sharp move, she was quite measured. These injuries were all skin injuries.
However, they hurt!
The scars on his body disappeared. With a wave of Locke’s hand, his tattered clothes were instantly changed into a brand-new white magic robe.
Locke passed through an area that was being expanded, which was the main city area of the eastern district.
The corridors of lights crisscrossed, and tall buildings were regularly distributed on both sides of the street. Red lights flickered, and there were a large number of people. The sky was low, and stars were twinkling. The bright moonlight poured down from the sky.
Locke wandered on the street.
On the street, a group of young men and women were laughing and joking, and from time to time they burst into laughter.
Looking at the prosperous street, Locke suddenly felt that things had changed.
Two years ago, it was still a barren place. Who would have thought that in just two years, Lister had undergone a tremendous change and become a sacred place for practice in the Grimm Kingdom?
After passing through the outer city with many tall buildings, Locke entered the main city. There was no barrier between the main city and the outer city, so people could come and go freely.
After entering the main city, the previous high-rise buildings disappeared and were replaced with elegant buildings in the style of the small city.
The street was still crowded with people.
In the well-decorated tavern on both sides, several practitioners were paying the bill at the bar counter. On the bar counter, there was an old couple. They didn’t have any magic energy fluctuation. Obviously, they were ordinary people. However, what was surprising was that they didn’t show any fear on their faces when facing a group of practitioners.
And these practitioners even spoke in a low voice as if they were afraid of offending the two old men.
“Bro, why are they so respectful to these two civilians without any strength?”
A well-dressed man saw this scene and couldn’t help but curiously asked the man beside him.
“Young man, I advise you not to bully these ordinary people just because you are a practitioner.”
The man reminded in a low voice as if he had seen the contempt on the well-dressed man’s face.
Hearing the man’s words, the well-dressed man was a little stunned. Apparently, he didn’t understand what the man meant. Seeing the well-dressed man’s confused face, the man taught him earnestly, “They are all aboriginals of Lister.”
Then the man said in an envious tone, “You know, the yard rented by our mercenary belongs to this couple.”
“Hiss~”
The brocade-clothed man gasped and looked at the two old men in shock.
He knew that the house price in Lister’s main city was far higher than that in King City. No, it should be said that even if one had money, he could not buy it. Now he finally knew why these people were so respectful to the two ordinary people.
Of course, because of the preciousness of the houses in the main city, some people had a bad idea. With their strength, they coerced and lured Lister’s aboriginals, and wanted to get the deeds of the houses through special methods.
The force that did this was a marquis’s force.
However, on the second day, this marquis’s force disappeared from the world.
Thanatos didn’t hide it when he made his move. He destroyed the marquis’s force under the watchful eyes of the public. In addition, the royal family had also sent the royal guards to uproot all the families related to this matter.
So far, no one dared to have a bad idea.
For a time, there was even a saying that in Lister, it was better to offend a marquis than to provoke an ordinary person.
In the hall, Vito VIII’s face was gloomy, and several ministers were also silent. They didn’t dare to speak, afraid of being in trouble.
Dennis slowly appeared in everyone’s sight. At this time, his face was extremely pale. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.
Vito VIII and several ministers all stood up and bowed to Dennis.
After sitting down, Vito VIII hesitated for a moment and said with concern, “Your injury…”
Dennis waved his hand, indicating that he was fine for the time being. With a gloomy face, he said, “Our Vito royal family lost all face in the land of legacy.”
“I have reported this matter to our ancestor, but he has a new comprehension and needs to practice in seclusion for the time being.”
Hearing this, a surprised look appeared on Vito VIII’s face, “Our ancestor’s strength has risen to another level!”
Dennis nodded slightly and his eyes were full of killing intent, “That level-10 master will be the stepping stone for our ancestor. In addition, our ancestor has contacted many forces that are on good terms with our Vito family and is ready to join forces to attack Lister.”
“According to many geniuses, the skill that Locke Capet practiced is very extraordinary, stronger than the practice method books held by many super forces. I believe that many people will be interested in it.”
As Dennis said this, he narrowed his eyes and said, “There seems to be a greater temptation in Lister.”
Vito VIII nodded and asked, “Sir, what about our family’s soul-devouring bead?”
“Don’t worry. The soul-devouring bead is a heavenly god level weapon and has its consciousness. Our family’s master has already signed a contract with the soul-devouring bead, so even if it is in the hands of outsiders, they can’t use it.”
Upon hearing this, Vito VIII breathed a sigh of relief. The soul-devouring bead was the most precious treasure of the Vito family. If it was lost like this, it would be a great loss to the Vito family.
After saying that, the middle-aged man in a black robe flashed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Looked back to Lister.
“You are… Sir Lord!”
When Locke was carefully feeling the change in the small city, an excited voice suddenly came from behind. Locke turned around and saw an old man looking at him excitedly.
Hearing his voice, the others also looked in Locke’s direction. When they saw Locke, the several stall owners’ faces changed instantly and were full of excitement, “Sir Lord!”
“Yes, I’m back.”
Locke nodded with a smile. These people were Lister’s aboriginals. Back then, there weren’t many people in Lister, so Locke knew almost all of them.
“Sir Lord, this is my newly brewed wine. Please have a taste.” The white-haired old man picked up a bottle of the best red wine on the stall and handed it to Locke. And the other vendor also picked up a bag of dried meat from the stall.
“Thank you.” Locke smiled and took the red wine and dried meat.
Looking at the crowd rushing toward him, Locke felt his scalp tingle.
“I have received your kindness. Thank you for your kindness.” He didn’t dare to stay any longer. After leaving a sentence, he flashed and turned into a beam of light and rushed into the distance.
On the rooftop of the bar, everyone enjoyed the cool wind and felt the prosperity of this city.
Four girls surrounded an enchanting woman.
“Miss Mapel, I had heard that you once organized training with Locke Capet. What kind of person is he?” A girl asked with admiration in her eyes.
The others also looked at the enchanting woman expectantly.
Yes, these people were from the Scilar Magic Academy, and this beautiful woman was Judith, who had once led the team with Locke to train.
After a year’s construction, the area of the Tishengar College in Lister had expanded by several times. In addition to the people of the original Tishengar College, many academies would send students and teachers to Lister for study and communication.
