Chapter 7
Noticing Locke’s arrival, Athena looked away. She looked Locke up and down and sighed, “As the lord, you are weak.”
Shrugging helplessly, he sat down opposite Athena. With a bitter smile, Locke explained, “I don’t know what’s wrong with my body. Although I can feel the magic element, I still can’t condense the magic element.”
Locke told Athena everything about him, and Athena listened quietly.
“Let me have a look.”
After Locke finished his speech, Athena grabbed Locke’s hand and closed her eyes to feel what was going on in Locke’s body.
Feeling the softness of her palm, Locke’s heart beat faster and faster as if waves of ripples appeared. The unique fragrance of the girl made him distracted, and his heart was restless.
About half a minute later.
Athena let go of Locke’s hand and said in a deep voice, “Your body is indeed different from that of ordinary people. It seems that this is natural, but this problem can be solved.”t
“Really?”
Locke was so excited that the ripples in his heart were swept away, leaving only full of excitement.
Athena nodded and said slowly, “Your body is special and you can practice magic like others. But the premise is that you can make the god of medicine, Asclepius, come here. He can transform your body and make you use magic.”
Athena had already known Locke’s identity and knew that he could summon gods.
The god of medicine, Asclepius?
A few moments later, Locke found information about Asclepius from his memory. Asclepius was the son of Apollo and Thessaly Princess Coronis. He was a highly skilled doctor, with the noble intention of saving all mankind, often in the wilderness of the forest to investigate the nature of plants and animals, seeking drugs to prevent and control diseases, known as the “the god of medicine”.
However, there weren’t many chances for him to summon the gods, and he had to summon Asclepius. In this way, the chances were very slim.
Unless he was lucky as the son of God, he could summon Asclepius next time.
He had been waiting for more than ten years. Locke didn’t care about the rest of the time. Moreover, he had the system, at least as half the son of God.
Locke felt like his mood was riding a roller coaster. Fortunately, he figured it out in the end and didn’t feel very depressed.
Although he couldn’t solve the problem of his practice right away, there was still hope now.
Athena, on the other hand, looked at Locke with a gleam in her eyes as if she was thinking about something. She said slowly, “Before the arrival of the god of medicine, I will train you, or a little magical beast will kill you.”
Training? Locke was stunned for a while and then nodded in his heart. Indeed, he should receive some training. After using the fluid, his strength was promoted, but he did not receive any training.
It was like a child who has mastered the power of Hercules and couldn’t use it skillfully as Hercules did.
“No problem. I’m also planning to carry out some basic training so that I can protect myself. If you can guide me, that will be great.”
After saying that, Locke suddenly thought of something. He looked at Athena curiously and asked, “What’s your strength now?”
After all, Athena had kicked once the wolf king of level 1. Her strength should be higher than the level-2 mages.
“I’m not very familiar with the system of strength in this world, and most of my strength has been sealed. However, it should still be a little stronger than them.”
Athena said after thinking for a while, looking at Kerton who was carrying out the combat training.
A little stronger?
The corner of Locke’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch, a little speechless. Was it true that she who could kick away the level-1 magic beast was just a little stronger than Kerton?
But it was understandable. After all, the strongest one here was only Kotter, and the highest level of the magic book and knight fighting skills was only level 2. Athena had no judgment at all.
“This is the equipment for training. Get ready as soon as possible.”
With a wave of Athena’s hand, a drawing full of all kinds of equipment floated in front of Locke.
Locke was envious of her power.
Athena seemed to have read Locke’s mind. She explained with a smile, “It’s simple telekinesis. You can learn it in the future.”
It was true that a mage could use magic to extract things from afar. Locke stopped admiring and looked at the equipment on the drawing.
…
Locke looked around the huge stone piers, pairs of iron wrists, dumbbells… Locke glanced over it. Many of the items were used to train Kerton and the others, but some of them he had never seen before.
Locke didn’t want to waste any more time. He asked Kotter to get ready.
…
Looking at the direction Locke left, Athena’s eyes twinkled, as if she was recalling some regretful past. Then she muttered to herself, “Perhaps, in this world, you can break the shackles of demi-god and become a true god…”
Of course, Locke didn’t hear that.
On the third day after he arrived at Lister, it seemed that Locke woke up early because he hadn’t adapted to the environment of Lister. Hansen was organizing the residents of Lister to cut the woods.
As for Kotter, he went to prepare training equipment for Locke. When Locke gave him the design drawing, he was shocked. Although he didn’t know many things, he could tell that they were for training.
Hearing that Locke was going to train himself, Kotter was even more shocked. Of course, in addition to shock, there were more surprises. His master finally figured out! He finally gave up the illusory magic dream!
It seemed that he was afraid that Locke would go back on his word, so he didn’t waste any time and went to prepare.
In a day, most of the equipment had been ready. As for the equipment that required a large amount of steel to make, Kotter had already sent someone to buy it in the nearby Bonn City.
