In the bedroom of the castle.
“Swoosh~”
Locke exhaled deeply with uncontrollable excitement in his eyes.
In general, Athena had given him another method of practice, which could stimulate the potential of his body through meditation and train, developing his own small universe.
Then he stored the divine energy in the small universe.
Yes, this was a practice method of divine energy!
The small universe referred to the potential universe energy within the human body, which was the source of human strength. The practitioner could construct a small universe in his body and store great power in them, using the extraordinary power of shattering the stars and tearing the earth apart.
After awakening the small universe, it was divided into five levels, which were the six senses, the seven senses, the eight senses, the nine senses, and the ten senses of the small universe.
Although he didn’t know how his divine energy compared to the magic power and fighting spirit in this world, it was not low.
Since this was a practice method of divine energy, the harshness of it could be imagined. Locke even felt that this practice method might be several times more difficult than that of magic.
On the following day, in practice, Locke became crazier. His desperate efforts almost make Kotter and the others think their respectful master had been driven lunatic by training.
On the other side, the residents had cut the wood for two days. At this time, a group of people was packing up their tools and preparing to go home.
The middle-aged man chopped the shiny ax in his hand on a tree stump. His face was dark, and there were traces of sun and sand on his rough skin. “Supervisor Hansen, did the lord really promise to build a house for us with these woods?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe others stopped their work and looked at Hansen suspiciously. The lord didn’t want to exploit them, but he planned to repair the houses for them. How could it be possible? In their eyes, this lord wanted to use this name to ask them to do the unpaid work.
In the face of his suspicion, Hansen kept silent for a moment before answering cautiously, “After these days of contact, I find that our lord is indeed different from other noble lords. So since the lord said that he would build a house for us, he won’t lie to us.”
“Ha-ha, these aristocrats are sinister and cunning. We can’t trust them.”
“Yes, these aristocrats can do anything for money.”
Someone in the crowd retorted as soon as Hansen finished his words.
Hansen didn’t know what to say in the face of people’s suspicion. It was no wonder that these residents didn’t believe the promises given by their lord. The previous two lords had made a lot of promises to get benefits from Lister.
He had explained it several times, but many of the residents still didn’t believe it, which also resulted in their low enthusiasm and inefficient work.
Helplessly, Hansen had no choice but to go to Locke and explain the situation to Locke.
After hearing Hansen’s report, Locke finished practice and decided to talk with the residents in person. After all, the progress of building houses was related to the reward of the system.
Seeing Locke approaching, the residents of Lister all bowed, and Locke also returned with a smile one by one.
Under everyone’s gaze, Locke walked to the front.
“Everyone, I know you will have doubts and scruples in your hearts, but I promise with the honor of the Capet family that these woods will be used to build houses for you. I won’t make money through it.”
“I’m the lord of Lister, and I’m also a member of Lister. My goal is to make Lister a rich and powerful place. I know your wish is the same.”
Locke didn’t lie to them. He not only built the house for the system task but also didn’t want his people to live in distress. The system task only served as a catalyst.
Locke’s words touched the citizens on the ground. They expressed their opinions.
“We will carry out the order of my lord firmly!”
“My lord, we believe you!”
“Under the leadership of my lord, Lister will become better!”
Locke was satisfied with the reaction of the residents, but his face was still a little gloomy. He changed the topic and said, “But I have to warn you first. If anyone else continues to be perfunctory and disobey the order, don’t blame me for punishing you.”
Locke knew that whether it was the 21st century or this world, the parallel of grace and power was the best way to manage.
Sensing the threat in Locke’s tone, the residents trembled in their minds. They suddenly realized that the amiable man in front of them was their lord. The lord had the right to decide whether the residents in the territory would survive or not!
Locke didn’t even need to talk to them so much and could force them to work on the mountain!
After figuring it out, the residents promised that they would do their best to carry out Locke’s order.
After chatting with the residents for a while, Locke left.
In the following days, he also returned to the terrifying daily training. To Locke’s disappointment, he couldn’t open the small universe.
However, under Athena’s training, Locke’s physical strength had risen sharply, even surpassing Kerton’s.
Of course, if they fought, Locke would not be a match for Kerton. After all, although Locke’s physical strength had increased, he didn’t practice the fighting spirit.
Locke wanted to learn some swordplay or blade skills, but Athena refused. According to Athena, the nine-floor terrace must be constructed from its very base. The practice would be promoted step by step to make a good foundation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSince Locke talked with them, the efficiency of Lister’s residents had increased significantly.
On the third day, a wooden house had been built with chopped wood. Seeing that these woods were really used to build a house for themselves, residents became more enthusiastic and worked more efficiently.
Especially when they knew that Locke hadn’t even repaired his castle and built residential houses first, they were deeply moved.
Although everyone was excited and worked hard, Locke was still a little depressed.
Because there were few people in the city, and there were not many people who could work, except for the old, women, and children. The construction of houses was huge, and he didn’t know when the task would be completed.
So Locke asked Kotter and Hansen with gold coins to recruit workers in the nearest Bone City to speed up the construction.
One day, Locke finished a day’s training and was answering Athena’s questions about magic.
Dozens of people were gathering more than ten kilometers away from the castle.
This group of people looked ferocious. Obviously, they were ruthless people who lived on killing and robbing all year round.
When you saw the clothes and behavior style of these people, you immediately thought of them as bandits.
It was a gang of thieves with dozens of people!
At this time, a black figure moved quickly from afar. It was a thin man.
“Leader, there are still 20 kilometers left. We will arrive at Locke Capet’s castle.”
The skinny man reported to the foremost man in the band of thieves.
The man who was called the third leader had a ferocious scar on his face, a large sword on his back, and a faint killing intent in his eyes.
“According to reliable sources, the loser, Locke Capet brought one thousand gold coins when he went out. It’s a great fortune. It’s a waste to keep it in Locke’s hand.”
“Inform the team to speed up!”
The scar-faced man ordered.
