BXBX NOVEL Chapter 22
For a moment, Locke felt like thousands of ants were eating his flesh and blood. Although he was mentally prepared, the piercing pain almost made him faint.
Gritting his teeth, Locke endured the pain hardly.
In half a minute, big drops of sweat rolled down Locke’s face. His face was twisted in pain and his body was trembling slightly.
Looking at Locke’s painful expression, Athena was a little worried and looked at Asclepius with an unkind look: “Are you sure there is nothing wrong with your method?”
“Absolutely no problem!”
Being stared at by Athena, Asclepius felt chill on his back and hurriedly promised. In front of the great god, Athena, let alone his lack of power now, even in his peak period, he was weaker than her.
“There will indeed be heart-digging pains, but he can only rely on himself.”
It seemed that Asclepius was afraid that Athena would not believe him, so he added.
Hearing this, Athena looked away and continued to observe the change of Locke.
At the same time, Locke was still suffering indescribable pain, as if a meat grinder was slowly crushing his body.
The force continued to tear and rebuild Locke’s meridians and flesh.
“I must hold on. I can’t give up! I can’t give up!”
Locke’s consciousness was gradually fading away, and he could only warn himself again and again in his heart.
Pain!
The unbearable pain continued!
It didn’t know how long time had passed.
Maybe 1 second… Maybe 1 minute… 10 minutes… Or 10 hours, or even 1 year.
Locke had forgotten the concept of time.
Finally!
When Locke was about to lose his consciousness, the sharp pain in his body disappeared instantly and a cool and comfortable breath entered his body.
At that moment, Locke felt unprecedentedly comfortable and happy.
His consciousness gradually returned to his real body.
“Congratulations! You made it!”
Locke heard a gentle and joyful voice. He opened his eyes and saw an attractive smile on Athena’s face.
“Huh~ Brat, you’re finally able to make it through, or I’ll be cut off by someone.”
Seeing that Locke had woken up, Asclepius complained to the side. Although he said so, he was obviously relieved to see that Locke was fine.
“You don’t know…”
He wanted to complain about how nervous Athena was just now, but before he could finish his words, his word was stopped by Athena’s threatening eyes.
Standing up and moving briefly, Locke found that his body was light and very comfortable.
“I’m fine. Don’t worry.”
After saying that to Athena, Locke looked at Asclepius and sincerely said, “Thank you, Asclepius.”
Just now, he tried to introduce the magic element into his body. To his excitement, the magic element did not disappear!
“You’re welcome.”
Shaking his head, Asclepius paused for a while and then said slowly, “There is an important thing right now.”
Locke was startled by his expression. He asked hurriedly, “What’s the matter?”
Before Asclepius could say anything, Athena said with disgust, “You smell too bad. You need to take a shower first.”
Locke was stunned. He looked down and found the problem.
He didn’t know when his skin was covered with a layer of black mud-like material. These things were not only disgusting but also gave off a disgusting smell.
“The transformation just now has eliminated all the impurities in your body.”
Asclepius covered his nose, opened the door, and was about to leave. “I’m leaving. The smell is too strong.”
The disgusting smell made Locke want to throw up.
“Well, I’ll go now.”
Locke smiled at Athena awkwardly and ran to the castle as fast as he could.
After taking a shower, Locke couldn’t wait to practice magic and began to meditate.
Half an hour later, Locke opened his eyes in surprise and there was an uncontrollable excitement in his tone, “I can finally condense magic element in my body. I can learn magic!”
After half an hour’s meditation, a small mass of magic element had condensed in his body. Of course, these magic elements were very weak, and they were not enough to support Locke to use level-1 magic.
After transforming his body, Locke practiced magic while developing the small universe.
When Athena had reached the level of “friendly” to his fondness, Locke received the reward of “power of perception”. Locke understood quickly both magic theory and magic techniques.
This made him more proficient in magic, and the speed at which he learned magic was like a rocket.
As a doctor, Asclepius was responsible for curing residents of Lister or collecting herbs on the mountain to study medicine.
At the same time, under Kotter and Hansen’s leading, residents had already reclaimed the farmland. The next step was to cultivate the land.
A few days ago, Locke had already selected a warehouse and taken out the potatoes rewarded by the system. Looking at the potatoes in a warehouse, Kotter was shocked and speechless.
When did potatoes show up in the warehouse?
He knew Lister’s situation very well. There were absolutely no potatoes in this warehouse.
And he didn’t see anyone transport potatoes in. Was it… A spatial treasure? Thinking of this possibility, Kotter’s breath became faster and faster.
But how could his master have such a precious spatial treasure? Even if selling the whole Capet family, Locke couldn’t afford a spatial treasure!
Locke laughed and didn’t explain. He went to practice directly. He knew that the rest of the things could be arranged well by Kotter.
“Kerton, Master Locke is getting more and more mysterious. We have to work hard on practice. We can’t be a burden to Master Locke.”
Looking at the figures of residents carrying potatoes, Kotter felt a huge pressure enveloping his head. First, it was the powerful and mysterious Miss Athena, then the highly skilled doctor, Mr. Asclepius, and now so much food suddenly appeared.
They seemed to be more and more useless.
Kerton took a deep breath and nodded in agreement.
Practice! They had to practice hard to keep up with Master Locke!
The two thought at the same time in their hearts.
