I Can Summon All the Gods

Chapter 240

Obviously, Nora had already known about Locke’s reward. She teased, “Let’s go, Mr. Marquis. We still need to meet a very important person.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Locke cooperatively responded with a salute. He had almost guessed who the important person Nora was talking about.

Led by Nora, they passed through the narrow path and a quiet garden and finally arrived at the back of the royal palace.

In front of them was a huge stone tower.

Locke released divine consciousness, but to his surprise, he found that there was a mysterious force that had isolated his divine consciousness from the outside of the stone tower.

Quack~

The stone tower opened slowly.

“Mr. Capet, please come up.”

An old voice came to Locke’s ears.

Hearing that the voice only called Locke’s name, Nora shouted to the stone tower discontentedly, “Grandpa Jeremy, don’t you welcome me?”

Sure enough, it was Titus Jeremy. Hearing what Nora called, Locke felt a little calm.

“Why do you still act like a child?” Although the old voice said so, there was a strong doting in his tone. “I have something to talk about with Mr. Capet.”

Hearing this, Nora knew that there must be something important between the two. “Then I’ll come to see you later.”

Without any hesitation, Locke entered the stone gate. He walked up the stairs and soon arrived at the palace above the stone tower.

In front of the palace, on the edge of the stone tower, an old man in a white robe was standing with his back to Locke. His back was broad, standing and looking into the distance.

“Mr. Jeremy.”

Locke bowed slightly.

To be honest, he grew up listening to the story of the patron saint Jeremy. It was said that the patron saint was tall and strong with a handsome face, as if the god had descended to the earth.

However, although the man in front of him was an old man, Locke didn’t look down upon him at all. He could feel a slight threat from the old man.

The old man should be the strongest person he had faced alone besides Athena and other gods!

Noticing that Locke had come up, Jeremy turned around slowly. Seeing that Locke was looking at him, he smiled and asked, “Is it different from what people say?”

Locke did not deny it, smiled, and nodded.

Jeremy waved his hand and a table and two wooden chairs appeared.

He reached out his hand and invited, “Please have a seat.”

Locke nodded with a smile and sat down gracefully.

Only then did he notice that he could look down at the whole city on this tower. However, as the capital of the Grimm Kingdom, the city covered a vast area. Looking into the distance, as far as the eye could see, there were many shadowy buildings, like mirages, giving people an unreal feeling.

“Although the Grimm Kingdom is only a small kingdom on the border of the Icacia Continent, the prosperity of King City is also the best in the surrounding countries.”

After pouring some tea into the teacup on Locke’s table, Jeremy looked into the distance and sighed, “Now I recall that I have protected this country for more than 100 years.”

Then, he turned to Locke and asked, “Mr. Capet, how about we make a deal?”

“Please go ahead, Mr. Jeremy,” Locke said with a serious look on his face.

“Icacia Continent is vast and boundless, and the Grimm Kingdom is just a small place in the north of the continent. I believe that Mr. Capet will definitely walk out of Grimm Kingdom in the future and show your charm in a wider world.”

Locke didn’t say anything, as he agreed with Jeremy.

“I know that Mr. Capet attaches great importance to your current territory. I can promise that the Grimm Kingdom will provide the best development resources to Lister.”

“Then what do I need to do?” Locke asked.

“I also need a promise from Mr. Capet.” Jeremy’s face turned serious and continued, “I have a hunch that something big will happen to the Icacia Continent in the near future. More precisely, there will be a disaster. I hope that Mr. Capet can help the Grimm Kingdom when it comes to crises.”

Hearing this, Locke couldn’t help but feel surprised. He didn’t expect that Jeremy could predict that Icacia Continent would suffer a disaster.

After a moment’s silence, Locke nodded and said, “It’s a good deal.”

Seeing that Locke agreed, Jeremy smiled and picked up the teacup. “I hope we have a pleasant cooperation.”

Then he drank it up.

Locke also picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it up with a smile.

Then, Locke and Jeremy chatted for a while and he also asked something about the depraved organization.

According to Jeremy, the depraved organization had been very active recently. The war between the Grimm Kingdom and the Barker Kingdom was caused by the depraved organization.

In the process of suppressing the Vic family, he was attacked by the depraved organization. As a result, he was unable to support the Grimm Kingdom army which was fighting with the Barker Kingdom.

Before leaving, Jeremy threw a white token to Locke, indicating that the forces of King City were complex. Having this token could less a lot of trouble.

In the evening, a banquet was held in the court.

Not long after the party started, Locke found an excuse and left the royal palace. Those officials were so enthusiastic that they hardly wait to put their daughter in his arms.

After leaving the royal palace, Locke breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, he was still not suitable for this kind of occasion. With brisk steps, Locke planned to stroll around King City.

A winding river flowed through King City. Both sides of the river were brightly lit, and there were many restaurants of different sizes and styles.

The sparkling river reflected the lights on both sides of the street.

Many big ships were floating on the river, and the scenes on the deck of the ship were more colorful, with circus and hot dance…

Every place fully displayed the prosperity of the city.

Locke noticed that most of the people who came here were young people seeking pleasure.

Locke had nothing else to do and followed the crowd into the street aimlessly.

“Olina, look! There’s a handsome guy over there!”

A few meters away, in the window of the coffee shop, a girl patted the thigh of another girl beside her and shouted excitedly.

The girls who were drinking coffee were all attracted by the girl’s voice and turned their heads. When they saw Locke, their eyes lit up.

The girl named “Olina” also turned around. When she saw Locke’s face, her eyes narrowed.

“It’s a pity that he is just a count, I’m afraid he inherited it from his father.”

One of the girls with curly hair said pitifully, “It seems that it’s the first time he has come to King City.”

“What’s wrong with the count? Look at his age. He is a count at such a young age. Maybe he will have other opportunities in the future.” Someone retorted.

“Stop arguing. The count is in trouble.” A girl who had been staring at Locke said.
