Although there were gods such as Athena and Hephaestus, compared with the power of the Brandon family, Lister was too weak. Not to mention to compare with the power behind the Brandon family.

All of a sudden, Locke became anxious in his mind and eager to strengthen his power.

To build a city in two years…

Locke smiled bitterly and felt stressed. Compared with the beginning, the territory had undergone many changes. The ecological environment and the living quality of the residents had achieved a leap, but it was still far away from the goal of becoming a city.

However, a miracle would be created. Locke took a deep breath and said with firm eyes, “Let me, Locke Capet, create a miracle!”

Locke focused on the first phase of the task– develop the number of territorial people, build territorial infrastructure and carry out housing construction.

After browsing through the task, Locke stood up and walked to the desk. Since the city was to be built, it needed to be well planned.

It was a map of Lister. Lister’s topography was similar to North America of his previous life with the high west and low east. The western side was mainly the Apu Mountains, while the central part, as well as the eastern side, were low hills and plains.

The terrain of the Apu Mountains was rugged and it was not suitable for the development of a city, so the subsequent construction had to be carried out in the central and eastern sides.

Three hours later, Locke wrote down his construction plan approximately. It was just a preliminary plan, and the specific details needed to be discussed.

A large-scale construction must require strong financial support. Fortunately, after selling out the level-2 weapons, he had nearly 200 thousand gold coins, which was enough to support the early construction of Lister.

Besides, the commercial chain with Treasure Pavilion had been established and he could earn gold coins by selling weapons.

At a tavern in Bone City.

A man entered the tavern and soon found an acquaintance.

He sat down and ordered a bowl of wine. The man looked around and then lowered his head and whispered to the acquaintance beside him, “Let me tell you a shocking secret.”

The others put down the wine bowls in their hands and approached the man. They pricked up their ears, waiting for the man to say the so-called “shocking secret”.

Seeing the rest of them approaching, the man had a mysterious expression on his face. He took a sip of the wine, created enough suspense, and then said in a low voice, “Do you know that Lister? The one who is said to be poor?”

The rest nodded.

“Another divine temple has been built in Lister. It’s amazing that it can cure patients.”

The man continued in a low voice.

“Divine temple?”

One of them sneered and said speechlessly, “Didn’t they say a long time ago that a temple appeared there? You believe it?”

The other man also shook his head, feeling bored. He patted the man’s shoulder and advised, “Divine temple? Just listen to it. It’s false. You’d better sell vegetables honestly.”

“It’s true this time!”

Seeing that no one believed him, the man became anxious. “My brother went to Lister to deliver vegetables. He saw it with his own eyes. Now they are going to move the whole family to Lister.”

“Well, that’s great. Why don’t you move in too? Ha-ha.”

“Yes, don’t disturb us looking at women.”

They laughed and looked at the dancing girl who appeared in the tavern.

“Humph! I’m really going to move. You’ll regret it!”

Seeing no one talking to him, the man didn’t even drink. He muttered and went out in anger.



The news that Lister had two divine temples spread quickly in Bone City. Of course, many people sniffed at the news and didn’t want to believe it.

The aristocrats were also shocked and confused. Could it be that gods really descended in Lister and made Locke Capet, who had the reputation of being a loser, a mage?

Confused, they sent someone to inquire about the situation of Lister.

However, they were completely shocked by the news from their men.

Lister really had two divine temples!

Lister had the black iron mine!

A few days ago, a level-3 mage came to look for trouble, but was beaten up by Locke Capet!

The aristocrats only felt that their values of life were affected. First, there were divine temples and then Locke killed a level-3 mage. Why did they feel so unreal!

“Do you think Lister still has mineral resources?”

In Bone City, Baron Fubinne exclaimed.

“It’s true. I’ve heard that they have a professional forger who can make level-2 weapons. However, since Lister has a strong defense, we can only investigate this situation.” A middle-aged man who looked like a butler continued to report.

Sitting on the chair, the eyes of Baron Fubinne were shocked.

Lister also had mineral resources, which was an enviable fortune!

What’s more, it was hard to understand why the level-2 forger would come to such a remote and desolate place like Lister.

Although he was greedy for the mineral resources in Lister, he had a clear estimation of himself. From the news he had received, he was afraid that there were some powerful men in Lister.

As for that Locke who could kill the level-3 mage, he didn’t believe it at all. Perhaps that powerful man deliberately put all the things on Locke to deceive others.

After all, no matter how astonishing a person’s talent was, it was impossible for him to defeat a level-3 mage!

If he reported the information of the mineral resources to the Basel family, he would get a big reward.

The Basel family was one of the top 10 forces of Naton County. It was easy to deal with Locke Capet.

After a moment of silence, Fubinne sneered in his heart.

He wondered if Locke Capet could keep the “fat”. It was known to all that even those big families would scramble for a black iron mine.

Whether there was any divine temple, or to kill a level-3 mage, in front of the big family, were not important.

Someone secretly sent a message to the family behind them, telling them about Lister’s situation. Some were also watching, wondering if they should bring gifts to make friends with Locke.

Bone City also began to surge.

Hearing the news about Bone City from Treasure Pavilion, Locke just smiled and didn’t take it seriously. There were just some small families in Bone City, which didn’t make a threat to Lister.

In the middle of Saint-Brieuc City, there was a huge and magnificent building.

“Locke?Capet…”

In the study, the middle-aged man murmured and waved his hand, indicating the person who had reported to him to leave first.

Now Locke was a level-1 fire mage. It seemed that his talent was really good. After the matter of the Brandon family was solved, maybe he could train Locke well. Marquis Hyman soon made a decision.

He didn’t believe that Lister had two divine temples. It was known to all that the gods were legendary things. How could they descend in that barren place?

Even if it really had the function of accelerating practice, it might be because of some arrays. It was as if the marquis mansion had set up an array that could condense magic elements.

The Brandon family also received the news from Bone City.

“Weiss is dead, too.”

Count Brandon’s face very darkened and his eyes were filled with coldness. How could he lose so many people in a loser’s territory?

“Sir Count, that loser has begun to mine the black iron mine. I don’t know where he has hired a forger to forge a lot of weapons. Many families know about the black iron mine.”

“According to Bone City, Treasure Pavilion has decided to open a branch in Lister.”

Butler Dyna reported with his head down.

“Does the Grace family also want to get involved in this matter?”

Count Brandon lowered his head. Since the matter of the black iron mine was exposed, the other families would never watch him monopolize it.

‘Locke Capet, I would let you be proud for a while. When the Brandon family became the real overlord of the Naton County, it would be the day of the destruction of the Capet family!’

With a grim look in his eyes, Count Brandon sneered in his heart. Then he ordered the butler Dyna, “Go and invite Count Basel and Count Ogden here.”

Butler Dyna nodded and went out.

On the other side, in the meeting hall of the Grace family.

“That’s all about Locke Capet.”

After saying that, Rosaline stopped and looked at Count Grace on the host seat, waiting for Count Grace to speak.

Count Grace was a slightly plump middle-aged man. His black robe was inlaid with golden patterns, which made him look dignified and noble. His eyes revealed the unique shrewdness of a businessman.

Count Grace nodded slowly and said in a low voice, “There is no doubt that Locke Capet is a rare genius. Most importantly, he has the support of the powerful practitioners.”

“Rosaline, you did a good job this time.”

“The fight in the county town is getting fiercer. The power of marquis and the Brandon family will not let us stay out of it.”

“Everyone knows that the Brandon family is very ambitious. Cooperating with the Brandon family is risky and dangerous. Therefore, we have no choice but to choose the power of the marquis family. But in the face of such a fierce battle, no matter which family is likely to be destroyed. Therefore, our family urgently needs a reliable ally now. And we have already taken the chance in the matter of Locke Capet to win a good impression.”

Beside Count Grace, an old man of about 70 also nodded slightly and said with a serious face, “I agree with the view of Sir Count. For this kind of genius, we must try our best to make friends.”

The others nodded in agreement.
