I Can Summon All the Gods
198 Chapter 198 Get the Title of Count
Hearing that Marquis Hyman came, Locke didn't neglect it. He came to the door of the territory in person and welcomed Maquis Hyman in.
"Mr. Locke Capet, I've heard that Lister has become much more prosperous than before."
Looking at the well-shaped street, lively shops and hotels, as well as the intense magic element, Marquis Hyman couldn't help but marvel, "I saw it today. It's true. No, it's more miraculous than the rumors."
As he got closer and closer to Lister, he clearly felt that the magic element was getting more and more intensive. Especially when he entered Lister, he felt refreshed after a long journey.
"Mr. Marquis, you flatter me." Locke smiled and replied modestly, "In the future, the development of Lister will still rely on the support of Mr. Marquis."
"Count Capet, we meet again." After greeting Locke, Marquis Hyman said to Count Capet, "I didn't expect that you saved my life more than ten years ago, and your son also saved the Hyman family more than ten years later."
While saying that, Marquis Hyman also began to sigh, "The Hyman family owes the Capet family more and more. Moreover, I have to say that you really have a good son."
"Mr. Marquis." Count Capet also saluted with a smile, "We have done what we should do. You don't have to take it to heart."
They chatted and soon arrived at the castle.
Marquis Hyman, who was walking, seemed to see something all of a sudden. He stopped and bowed to the attic beside the castle. Mrs. Hyman also bowed slightly.
The girl leaned against the wall of the attic, her legs hanging in the air, and focused on reading the magic book in her hand. In the face of Marquis Hyman's salute, she didn't seem to see it and had no reaction at all.
Ignoring Athena's indifference, Marquis Hyman didn't get angry. He smiled and walked into the castle with Locke. Strong people were always arrogant.
Sitting down, Marquis Hyman didn't waste time and said directly, "Locke, I have brought good news this time."
Looking at Locke, Marquis Hyman continued, "The king has given an order to give you the title of count, and the three lands around all belong to you. Congratulations, you seem to be the youngest count in the whole kingdom now."
Then he handed the letter of appointment to Locke.
Taking over the appointment letter, Locke took a quick look at it. It meant that he was loyal to the country and helped Marquis Hyman suppress the rebellion, giving him the title of the count or something like that.
He didn't pay much attention to the noble title. After all, it was a time for the strong to be respected. In front of the strong people, the title was just like nothing, not worth mentioning, just like Marquis Hyman in front of Athena.
What pleased him was that he still obtained the other three lands. With these three lands, the area of Lister's territory was almost three times larger!
The title of count!
Compared with Locke, Count Capet was in ecstasy. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. If it weren't for the presence of outsiders, he would have held Locke in his arms and cried.
His son was only 16 years old, but like him, he had already obtained the title of count!
"That's really good news."
A satisfied look appeared on Locke's face. With the entry of a large number of people, Lister was also a little crowded, which solved his burning anxiety. "Thank you for this matter, Mr. Marquis."
"You deserve it, but..."
After a pause, Marquis Hyman gradually became serious. He said in a serious tone, "The Vic family must have known about the matter of the Naton County. You know, these guys are vengeful people, so you'd better be careful at ordinary times. After all, the Vic family has two powerful level-7 masters."
Hearing this, Count Capet was gloomy. Although he also knew that Athena was a powerful level-7 practitioner, his current enemy was not only a strong level-7 practitioner.
Compared with Count Capet, Locke was much calmer. He smiled and apparently didn't take the Vic family seriously. However, since Marquis Hyman reminded him, he still nodded and said, "Thank you for your warning, Mr. Marquis. I will pay attention to the matters of the Vic family."
"Besides, what you need to guard against most now is not the Vic family." Marquis Hyman said with a more serious look, "Do you know that Brandon actually has a son?"
Locke shook his head. He was not interested in the affairs of the Brandon family at all, so he didn't pay much attention to the situation of the Brandon family.
"Brandon's son is called Will Brandon. He awakened his magic talent at the age of 5. After that, he was sent by Brandon to one of the two famous schools in the King City, the Penlak School, to learn magic. Now, this Will Brandon is a level-4 mage, and his teacher is the famous level-7 mage, Lucas Archibald."
"Apart from being cruel and merciless, Lucas Archibald is famous for protecting his own people. According to the information I got, Will Brandon's training is about to come to an end, and he will return to King City soon. By that time, he will definitely receive the news that the Brandon family is destroyed. His tutor will definitely not sit by."
"King City has sent a level-7 mage to take charge of the city, so nothing will happen there. But you..."
Marquis Hyman observed Locke's expression as he spoke. In his imagination, although Locke had Athena, a level-7 master, he would be a little worried when he heard that there would be so many level-7 masters making trouble for him.
But what made him feel helpless was that from the beginning to the end, Locke's face did not change much. He even gave him an illusion that it had nothing to do with him.
Did Locke have any backup plan?
Just when Marquis Hyman was confused, Locke frowned slightly. It was a critical moment for Lister to develop. If someone suddenly came out to make trouble, it would definitely affect the public security of Lister.
Think about it. If there was a constant war in a place, would you go there no matter how good the benefits were? After all, nothing was more important than life.
After thinking for a while, he nodded slowly. "These people are really troublesome. I will arrange someone to make Lister more alert."
Compared with Locke's calmness, Count Capet was burning with anxiety. He didn't expect that there would be another level-7 master here! If the level-7 mage who supported Will Brandon and the Vic family work together, then...
Thinking of this, Count Capet pulled a long face.
On the other side, although Locke frowned, there was no sign of panic on his face. Marquis Hyman didn't say anything more.
Then they continued to chat for a while. Under the lead of Count Capet, Marquis Hyman and the others visited two divine temples.
At noon, after lunch, Marquis Hyman and his wife planned to stroll around the city by themselves. Finally, Count Capet had spare time. With an anxious mood, he found Locke.
"Locke, I think you should think over what Marquis Hyman reminds you. After all, the other party may not only be a powerful level-7 warrior."
Looking at Locke, Count Capet said worriedly.
"That's right. According to the current situation, we really need to strengthen Lister's defense." Locke nodded slowly. Then he looked at Count Capet and said, "Father, don't worry. I'll go to Thanatos and ask him to pay more attention to the safety of Lister in the future."
While saying that, Locke stood up and walked towards the practice field behind the castle.
"Thanatos?" Count Capet was stunned for a moment. The opponent was a level-7 master, would Thanatos be strong enough?
