I Can Summon All the Gods

Chapter 239



Soothing music was playing in the hotels on both sides of the street. People in brocaded clothes twisted their beautiful bodies along with the rhythm of the music.

In a magic shop nearby, there were many high-quality magic wands and high-purity magic crystals. Several aristocrats were choosing their favorite magic wands.

In the tavern, smoke was swirling and neon lights were flashing. A man secretly threw pills into the girl’s glass beside him. Two blocks away, in a dark alley, several drunk men were approaching a woman and forcing her into a corner. The woman’s face was pale and her eyes were full of helplessness.

Under his divine consciousness, everything within a few kilometers around was clearly imprinted in Locke’s mind.

“Swoosh!”

Locke withdrew his divine consciousness and looked at the tall buildings on both sides. In the hotel, the aristocrats behaved decently. On the street, people were still smiling. However, in some unknown corner, a tragic scene happened.

Sure enough, no matter where there was always a dark and ugly side.

Locke sighed in his heart.

However, he had to admit that King City’s details were indeed very powerful.

Under divine consciousness, he had seen no less than forty level-4 practitioners, four level-5 practitioners, a level-6 practitioner, and even found a level-7 practitioner in a hotel.

Level-4 practitioners were able to be all-powerful and become the leader of a great force in the county, but here, he was just the boss of a bar.

About an hour later, the carriage stopped. Feeling that the carriage stopped, Locke hastily jumped out of it as if he was granted an amnesty.

For an entire hour, he was stared at by Artemis for an hour!

Looking at Locke’s face, there was something wrong, Nora looked like she knew everything. But she still pretended to ask, “Locke, are you not feeling well?”

Locke rolled his eyes and glared at Nora.

Nora ignored the threat in Locke’s eyes, but she didn’t continue the topic. Looking at Locke and the others, she explained with a smile, “This is the manor I bought in King City. I think you must be unaccustomed to living in the official mansion, so I bring you here.”

Looking around, Artemis nodded with a smile and said, “The environment is pretty good. This is your territory. You should put us under your wings.”

“You must be kidding, Miss Artemis,” Nora said with a smile. She knew the strength of Artemis. In the whole King City, there was absolutely no way for anyone to beat her.

The maids around stood respectfully at the side, with a faint smile on their faces all the time, which made people feel very comfortable. However, although these maids kept smiling all the time, in fact, they had already been shocked in their hearts.

Who on earth were these people in front of them that could let Princess Nora lead the way in person with such an unusual attitude?

Moreover, this young man seemed to be just a count. How could he joke with the princess like a friend?!

No offense, but in King City, a single slap would kill a large number of count.

Shocked, the maids couldn’t help but look at Locke again, with a strange look in their eyes. They had to admit that this young man was so handsome!

Under Nora’s arrangement, Locke and others lived in the manor.

“Your Highness, are you going to the palace now?”

Nora nodded and turned to the maid behind her. “Treat my guests well. Remember, what they said is my order.”

The maid hurriedly bowed and answered, “OK”.

On the second morning, Nora led Locke to the gate of the royal palace.

In the distance, the palace wall was undulating, and the palace was majestic, huge, and magnificent with a tight layout.

Looking at the palaces in front of him, Locke was still a little shocked. The city wall nearly thirty meters high was thick and awe-inspiring. On the top of the city wall, the imperial guards looked solemn, with a cold gaze. There was a faint sense of oppression around them. It was obvious that they were warriors who had been through cruel battles.

Locke sensed that almost all the guards were above level 4.

Led by Nora, Locke arrived at a magnificent palace very soon. The palace showed a Baroque architectural style, with a dome, and there were many lifelike statues carved on the walls outside the palace.

They passed by the pillars and stepped into the gate nearly ten meters high.

The hall was crowded with ministers. On the uppermost throne was a middle-aged man with a crown and a white robe inlaid with golden patterns. He held a golden scepter in his hand, and above the scepter was a fiery red crystal.

Locke knew that the people on the throne should be Nora’s father, King Temple, the king of Grimm Kingdom.

The moment Locke appeared, all eyes were focused on him. Admiration, astonishment, hesitation, gloom, and all kinds of eyes were mixed together.

King Temple also silently watched the young man who came in.

Looking at Locke, he was a little surprised. According to the information he got, Locke’s father was a count, a small aristocrat, and Locke had never left Naton County. However, he didn’t feel the kind of small aristocratic bashfulness in Locke.

The temperament of the young man in front of him was definitely not something that a small aristocrat could possess.

He was right. The identity of the young man was indeed unusual.

Walking to the center of the hall, Locke bowed slightly and said politely, “Greetings, Your Majesty, I’m Locke Capet.”

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Capet. Sure enough, heroes always come out of early youth!”

Looking at Locke, King Temple stopped the surprise in his eyes and continued with a smile, “This time, Mr. Capet has made a great contribution to defeating the Barker Kingdom and showing the strength of the Grimm Kingdom. On behalf of all the civilians in the Kingdom, I’d like to thank you for your contribution, Mr. Capet.”

After speaking, King Temple, who was sitting on the throne, bowed his head slightly to express his gratitude.

Locke shook his head and said in a calm, neither humble nor pushy tone, “As a member of the Grimm Kingdom, I should do all these things.”

“Mr. Capet, you are being modest. We have heard of Lister’s strength in the battle.” An old man on the left side of Locke smiled.

“Yes, Mr. Capet is young and promising. He will definitely achieve his career in the future.”

“It’s rare for a young man to be modest and courteous, neither arrogant nor rash.”

Others echoed. They had been in the officialdom for decades and had already learned how to act according to the changing situation. Now everyone could see that as long as there was no accident, Locke would definitely be a popular figure. There must be no harm in having a good relationship with him in advance.

In the face of all the compliments, Locke just nodded politely and responded one by one.

King Temple smiled and asked, “I wonder if Mr. Capet is willing to stay at King City and be the chief of the imperial guard.”

Hearing this, the officials around were all shocked. The chief of the imperial guards, in charge of the royal imperial guards, was responsible for maintaining the public order of King City and the arrest of the illegal officials. Even they had to hold a modest attitude. They didn’t expect that His Majesty would appoint Locke Capet to such an important position.

However, Locke shook his head slowly and refused, “Thank you very much for your trust, Your Majesty. But it’s a pity that I’m too lazy to hold such an important position. However, I believe that Your Majesty will find a more suitable person.”

Seeing Locke refuse, King Temple sighed slightly and felt sorry. However, he had already been mentally prepared for Locke’s reply. With Locke’s talent and the powerful force behind Locke, the Grimm Kingdom couldn’t keep him.

“Since Mr. Capet doesn’t want to, I won’t force you.”

King Temple chuckled and said in a loud voice, “I declare that I will give Locke Capet marquis title. In addition to the original territory, the fief will add the Bone City, Alfie City, and Siva City. In addition, 20 million gold coins and one million magic crystals will be rewarded.”

Locke looked delighted and bowed slightly, “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

He didn’t care much about the title. What really pleased him was 20 million gold coins and one million magic crystals, because he was in short of money now. Of course, as well as the new territories.

“Congratulations, Marquis Capet.”

The ministers around congratulated.

Locke also nodded and politely responded to everyone’s compliments.

After the award, there was no need for Locke to stay any longer. So he said goodbye and walked out of the hall.

At the gate of the hall, Locke saw Nora who had been waiting for him.
