Chapter 20 Acquired the Summoning Card Again

The exterior buildings of Victory Temple were all small and elegant towers and stone pavilions. Walking along with the steps, Locke and Athena passed through the exterior buildings and reached the gate of the divine temple.

The main hall of the temple had beautifully carved colonnades with four Ionic columns in front and behind and contained a wingless statue of Athena.

On the left was a square, which was paved with marbles. A more than 10 meters high statue of the goddess of victory stood in the center of the square. Look carefully, the statue's face was very similar to Athena's. However, compared with the current Athena, there was more than a hint of divine sanctity, and people have an impulse to worship.

Around the square, there were several exquisite buildings. There were several pillars on the front and back of each building. The foundations of these pillars were placed on the exterior stone steps on the ground, and the lower part of each pillar was connected with a set of marble railing decorated with bas-relief.

"This divine temple is really luxurious."

Looking at the various buildings in the divine temple, Locke sighed. After staying in this world for 16 years, it was the first time that he had seen such an exquisite and elegant palace.

"Of course, my palace is also ranked top among the gods."

Touching the exquisite carvings on the relief, Athena said with a little girl's pride, "Let's go and continue to look."

Seeing that Athena was so interested, Locke nodded with a smile. After a long time of training, although he hadn't owned the small universe through practicing, it didn't matter to him that he didn't sleep all night.

Early in the morning, the mist in the mountains had not completely dissipated.

In the morning, Kerton stretched himself and took a deep breath of fresh air. For some reason, he had a good sleep last night. However, it seemed that he had seen something. He was slightly stunned at first and then shook his head helplessly. "I actually saw a palace. Alas, I must be still in a dream."

At the same time, Kotter's trembling voice was heard.

"No... I saw it too. There seems to be a palace over there!"

Hearing the voice of Kotter, Kerton was shocked and looked back. When he saw the divine temple again, his eyes widened and he cried out, "Palace! There really is a palace!"

...

Soon, the foot of Victory Temple of Athena was full of people.

The sudden appearance of the palace shocked everyone.

"Creator! It must be the work of gods!"

An old man knelt on the ground, trembling. Icacia Continent always had legends of gods, the Creator who was the head of all gods, the magic god who was in charge of magic, and so on. Although no one had ever seen gods, they had always been a taboo in the hearts of all living beings.

"I got up this morning and felt unprecedentedly comfortable. The fatigue yesterday completely disappeared. It must be the effect of this palace."

"Me too. I haven't been so comfortable for a long time."

"Yes, it must be gods who are looking after us."

A group of residents whispered and looked at the divine temple, their eyes full of strong respect.

They couldn't think of any other reason for the sudden appearance of such a magnificent palace except for the powerful ability of the gods.

An eight or nine-year-old child stared at Athena's statue, tugged at his parents' clothes, and whispered, "Why... I think the statue looks familiar."

"My child, gods cannot be desecrated!"

The mother hurriedly covered the child's mouth with a cautious look, fearing that the god would hear it and punish them. However, she couldn't help but look at the sculpture curiously.

Although the child's voice was not loud, it was still heard by many people. Many people gathered their courage to observe the sculpture carefully.

"Oh, I see. That's Sister Athena!"

It was another girl's clear voice.

When everyone saw the sculpture for the first time, their hearts trembled. The statue looked so much like Miss Athena who was standing beside the lord!

At this time, Kerton and Kotter, who had just arrived here, the eyes have been occupied by shock.

When they were sure that the palace had really appeared, they wanted to find Locke, but they found that Locke was not in the bedroom, so they went straight to the divine temple.

Just as everyone was very shocked.

Athena and Locke walked out of the temple.

"My lord, Miss Athena!"

Residents bowed to the two of them one after another, especially when they looked at Athena beside Locke. Their eyes were incomparable respect.

"Get up, everyone."

Locke nodded and smiled at the kneeling residents, saying.

"As you can see, this divine temple was given to Lister by gods. It will bring protection and fortune to us."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him eagerly and waiting for his explanation, Locke said loudly, "Lister is a lucky place. Under the protection of gods, it will definitely become better. Let's work together!"

Hearing Locke's words, the residents all took a deep breath, and the shock in their eyes became more and more intense. Residents believed Locke's words. Sure enough, a huge palace appeared overnight. Other than gods, nobody had such great power!

This divine temple was truly the power of gods!

Lister was going to be better, actually receiving the favor of the gods!

Was Miss Athena the saintess chosen by gods?

Afraid of offending gods, residents of Lister didn't dare to cheer loudly, but they had already shouted in their hearts, and their faces turned red with excitement.

Athena didn't stay any longer. She greeted everyone with a smile and went back to the castle.

A group of people stepped on the steps and began to worship the Victory Temple of Athena.

"Master Locke, is Miss Athena the saintess chosen by gods?"

Seeing Athena leave, Kotter asked cautiously. He was afraid that Athena would hear him.

Locke was amused by the cautious look on Kotter's face, a strong man.

"I said she was a god. Do you believe me?"

Finishing his word, Locke laughed and left.

Kotter and Kerton stood still. And Locke's words directly set off a stormy sea in their hearts.

Were there really gods in the world?

If there were no gods, how could this palace be explained?

The two of them were in a trance for a while, having a dreamy feeling.

In the process of worshiping the temple, all the residents were cautious, afraid of doing something wrong that would cause dissatisfaction of the gods.

After the worship, the residents also started to reclaim the farmland according to Locke's arrangement.

And Locke once again went through tough training.

In the evening, after taking a shower, Locke found the attribute panel and began to wait anxiously.

Host: Locke Capet

Race: Human Race

Binding Identity: Lord of Lister

Occupation: No

Summoning god: Athena

Fondness: Friendly (0)

Faith point: 0 (Waiting to be refreshed.)

Victory Temple of Athena had been established, and the function of the faith point had been activated. However, according to the calculation method of the system, the data would not be refreshed until 12 o'clock in the evening.

It was finally 12 o'clock. The attribute panel lit up and the values began to change.

Host: Locke Capet

Race: Human Race

Binding Identity: Lord of Lister

Occupation: No

Summoning god: Athena

Fondness: Friendly (0)

Faith point: 102

Just as Locke had expected, after the battle with the bandits, Athena's power and wisdom conquered residents. Now, with the appearance of the divine temple, they directly became believers of Athena.

"Ding! I've detected that host has successfully built the first divine palace. At the same time, you have attained the first batch of believers. You will be rewarded with a chance to summon gods."

Hearing the voice of the system, Locke's heart trembled violently, almost jumping out. "A chance to summon gods! Ha-ha, I finally get the second chance!"

At the same time, a floating card appeared in front of Locke.

Without any hesitation, Locke clicked on the card.

The summoning card trembled slightly and then turned into a light door the same as last time.

Locke fixed his eyes on the light door, waiting for a god to appear.

Finally, under Locke's nervous gaze, a middle-aged man with a beard and a walking stick walked out of the light door.
