I Can Summon All the Gods

On the second morning, with two books on knight fighting skills in his hands, Locke knocked on the door of Athena’s room.

“Miss Athena, I’ve brought some books on knight fighting skills. I’m sure you’ll be interested in them.”

Locke didn’t forget the important thing after summoning the god—to refresh fondness!

…

Athena was the god of wisdom, war, and art. Locke would show her some books on knight fighting skills first. She should be interested in them. As for books on arts… he didn’t have them.

After careful consideration, Locke decided to cater to her pleasure.

Locke’s father, Count Capet, was a knight. He had many books on knight fighting skills at home. Locke carried a lot of these books when he came out.

Sure enough, Athena took the books with great interest and thanked him.

“Ding~ Athena’s fondness increased by 5 points.”

With the sound of the system rising, Locke left contentedly.

After all, this was the first day he came to the territory, and he needed to arrange something.

In the hall of the castle, Hansen was telling Locke about the distribution of Lister’s population.

Under the guide of Hansen, Locke had already made an inspection tour of the territory and had a clearer understanding of the situation of Lister.

To sum up the situation in one word—poor.

All the trees in the territory were the property of the lord, without the lord’s consent, cutting the trees would be severely punished.

Therefore, although there were a lot of woods on the mountain, most people could only live in the thatched huts which could not even block the wind and rain, except for a few ordinary people living in the old wooden huts.

Locke was sure that Lister was the most remote and desolate place in the kingdom!

After all, Lister was his territory. He couldn’t just leave it alone. Locke thought while listening to Hansen’s report.

“Ding Dong~”

“As a great lord, how could he live in such a miserable castle and watch the commoners in his territory live in such a shabby house?”

“System tasks: Completing the castle construction and the house construction for the residents of Lister.”

“Task requests: Repairing the castle and making Lister’s residential houses so that they could shelter from wind and rain.”t

“System rewards: The reward will be given according to the completion level of the host’s task.”

“Task completion levels: Unqualified, qualified, good, excellent, perfect.”

The voice of the system echoed in Locke’s mind.

Did he have a mission in the system?

Locke was slightly stunned and reacted with a burst of surprise.

The houses of Lister must be built, and his castle must be repaired. But he didn’t expect that he would trigger the system tasks and get the reward of the system. This was killing two birds with one stone.

What reward could he get after completing this task? Would he get another chance to summon the gods?

Thinking of this possibility, Locke began to look forward to it in his mind.

Without any hesitation, Locke said to Hansen, “Mr. Phil, please stop for a while.”

“My lord, you can just call me ‘Hansen’.”

Hearing that Locke called him Mr. Phil, Hansen was overcome with trepidation. It was not Hansen’s fault to be so terrified. In the Grimm Kingdom and even the whole continent, the nobility was the ruler of the commoners. How could they call commoners like this?

On the other hand, Kotter seemed to be used to it. This was also the reason why he recognized the kind and approachable master from his heart, who was regarded as a “loser” in the eyes of most nobility.

“Then I’ll call you Supervisor Hansen.”

Locke nodded with a smile.

“Yes, my lord.”

Hansen bowed to Locke respectfully.

“I know almost everything about Lister. As the lord of Lister, I can’t watch my commoners live in thatched cottages which couldn’t shelter from any wind or rain.”

“That’s why I need you to gather the people to go up the mountain to chop wood and build houses for yourself. I will also ask retinues to help you.”

Although Locke wanted to improve the completion level of the task and get a higher reward, he knew that he should do what he could. With his current 1,000 gold coins, he could only repair a castle.

So it was better to take materials from the ground and build a house with trees and rocks.

Locke’s father, Count Capet, was only a knight at level 2. However, due to his outstanding performance at that time, he had made a great contribution, so he was awarded to count title by breaking the rule.

Because of this, the territory of Count Capet was undoubtedly much smaller than that of the other counts, and its economic strength was also much weaker. 1,000 gold coins could be said to be a huge sum of money.

Hansen was stunned at first, and then he seemed to suspect that he had heard it wrong. He had already received two lords, and each of them tried every means to squeeze money from their territory. But now this man said that he would use his property to build wooden houses for them.

“My lord, are you telling the truth that we are allowed to cut trees and build houses?”

Hansen said in disbelief, his body trembling slightly.

Locke nodded again and said with certainty, “Of course. Go and inform the residents of Lister.”

Thump!

“My lord, on behalf of Lister’s residents, I would like to thank you for your kindness!”

Hansen suddenly knelt on the ground, making a big salute to Locke and his voice choked with sobs.

Locke helped Hansen up. He understood how Hansen felt at the moment.

This world was not like the Earth in his previous life. The government was centered on people and would protect everyone’s right to live. This was a world to play the law of jungle, and the commoners were only the objects of exploitation from the ruling class.

Locke sighed in his heart. Seeing that Hansen had calmed down, he continued, “Then you can go to prepare for it. The construction had better be started tomorrow.”

Hansen nodded, wiped the tears on his face, and left quickly. He wanted to tell the good news to the others of Lister.

After Hansen left, Locke asked Kotter to prepare as well and arrange personnel to assist the residents in the construction.

In the evening, dinner was ready in the dining room by the servant arranged by Hansen.

Athena entered the dining room, holding the books on knight fighting skills sent by Locke this morning.

“There are too many loopholes in these two books. I have revised them for you.”

Athens put the books in front of Locke and sat elegantly next to him.

There were too many loopholes and she revised them?

Locke was stunned. He opened the book and found that it was full of contents, which indicated that there were loopholes in the move and the measures to improve it.

He would give Kerton and the others to check on them later.

Locke thought to himself. After all, he didn’t practice knight fighting skills, so he couldn’t judge the content of the modification.

The goddess of wisdom deserved her reputation for being able to make such a big revision in just one night!

Locke had planned to use these books to refresh fondness, but now it seemed to not work. In addition to the books on knight fighting skills, the most he had now was the magic book.

Locke asked tentatively, not knowing whether Athena was interested in it or not, “In addition to these books, I happen to have a few magic books.”

“Magic?” Athena’s beautiful eyes lit up slightly and seemed to be interested. “I felt the energy of different colors in the environment. It should be the magic element you mentioned. I can learn it.”

“You want to learn magic?”

Locke asked in surprise. He was not surprised that she could feel the magic element. After all, Athena was a god, but he was still curious why she had to learn magic.

Athena sighed and said helplessly, “I’ve lost a lot of strength in this world, and many divine skills can’t be used, so I need to learn the system and way of strength in this world.”

“Okay, I’ll get it for you now.”

As Locke spoke, he stood up and went back to his bedroom to get a basic magic book and two level-2 magic books he collected for Athena. Athena was the god he summoned. Of course, he wanted Athena to become stronger.

“Ding~ Athena fondness increased by 5 points.”

The sound of fondness’s rise surprised Locke.

Seeing that Athena was absorbed in reading, Locke didn’t disturb her. He decided to show Kerton the revised fighting skills of Athena.
