Before entering the Holy Land, one must cultivate fighting spirit and magic power. As long as these two have reached a certain level, one can complete the level upgrade.
After reaching the Holy Land, although cultivating fighting spirit and magic power can also increase one's strength, if one wants to embark on a stronger path, one must comprehend the mysteries of the laws.
Judging from the strength of fighting spirit alone, the peak of the Holy Domain is the limit.
Only by comprehending the mysteries of the laws can one break through the peak of the Holy Domain, reach the limit of the Holy Domain, and even surpass the limit of the Holy Domain and ascend to the Divine Domain.
"You bastard, kill me if you can!"
"I will not reveal any secrets of the Temple of Light."
"Oh?"
There was a hint of teasing at the corner of Locke's mouth.
How afraid of death is this guy?
He said that he had the ability to kill him, but what he revealed was that he knew the secret of the Temple of Light.
If Locke wants to know the secret of the Temple of Light from him, he cannot kill him.
Sitting in his seat, Locke raised one foot and said calmly, "My Lord Knight Commander of the Temple of Light, I think you may have some misunderstanding about me."
"I have no interest in the secrets of the so-called Temple of Light that you mentioned."
"So, you don't have to be so nervous. I won't force you to ask anything."
Hearing Locke's words, the Knight Commander's pupils suddenly shrank and a trace of fear rose in his heart.
If what this guy said was true, and he had no interest in the secrets of the Temple of Light, does that mean that in his eyes, I have no value at all and can be killed at any time?
He had finally gathered three girls with pure souls in his territory, and directly became a strong man in the Holy Domain from a sixth-level warrior. He killed the members of his family who looked down on him and became the master of the family.
Moreover, more than 20 years ago, he successfully cooperated with High Priest Anderson to launch a sneak attack and kill the Sanctuary Magician of the Frost and Snow Empire before he could release defensive magic, and he also received a large amount of rewards.
Perhaps the Sanctuary Magician of the Fifth Legion of the Frost and Snow Empire would never have imagined that when High Priest Anderson fought with him before, he did not wait for him to release defensive magic before launching his attack.
It was because he habitually released defensive magic in every battle, which prevented Anderson and the Knight Commander from finding opportunities to launch a sneak attack.
And when he got used to using defensive magic and High Priest Anderson would not start attacking, one of his feet had already stepped into the world of the dead.
The Knight Commander of the Temple of Light thought back to his entire life. He had only been a Saint for less than thirty years, and there was still an endless amount of life to enjoy in the future...
How could I be willing to die here?
Just when the Knight Commander of the Temple of Light wanted to say something, Locke's next words put him at ease temporarily.
"As for your injuries, I'm very sorry. I left the barracks some time ago, so I didn't continue to treat you."
"Let's just make up for it for now."
Locke waved his hand, and a blue light appeared on the body of the Knight Commander of the Temple of Light.
"hiss……"
Under the treatment of this blue light, the complexion of the Knight Commander of the Temple of Light instantly improved a lot.
Three minutes later, the light on the Knight Commander of the Temple of Light dissipated, and now the wounds on his body have almost completely healed.
The bones in his body showed no signs of healing.
However, this also made the Knight Commander of the Temple of Light feel at ease.
Obviously, the guy in front of him didn't want him to die.
As long as you are alive, you have the opportunity to enjoy a more and better life.
After all, he is a powerful saint with an infinite lifespan!
After sensing that this guy's breath had stabilized a bit, Locke nodded slightly.
I will still need this guy's help with some of the things I'm going to do next.
We can't let him die so easily...
Chapter 32 Commitment
Just as Locke was about to do something, he suddenly stopped and leaned back in his chair.
"Lord Locke, the five captains, Gaske, Cross, Marek, Berkeley, and Dahl, have arrived."
"Well, let them in."
After getting Locke's permission, the five captains of the Tsunami Legion entered the tent one after another and bowed slightly to Locke.
"Lord Locke."
After the five people entered Locke's tent, the first thing they saw was a man tied to a wooden yoke.
This situation made the five captains feel uneasy.
Is it because they offended Lord Locke last time, so Lord Locke wants to torture them like he tortured this guy?
still is……
However, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they dared not show it in front of Locke.
"Well, you're here."
Locke glanced at the five people. The guards in the tent had already mentioned the names of these five captains.
However, this was the first time Locke knew the names of the five of them, and the guard said them all at the same time, so Locke couldn't tell who was who among the five of them for a moment, and couldn't match the people with the names at all.
However, Locke was not in a hurry to figure it out. If nothing unexpected happened, the future of the five of them would be tied to his own.
"After thinking about it for the past few days, I have decided to become the Grand Duke of this territory."
"I was not in the camp a few days ago. I went to the imperial capital to report the victory in the battle with the Temple of Light to His Majesty Ceres."
"And as you wished, His Majesty Ceres has granted me this territory."
"From now on, this territory will be renamed 'Lock Territory'."
Gasike and the other four looked at each other, and joy appeared in their eyes.
This time, we made the right bet!
"Congratulations, Lord Locke, on becoming the Grand Duke."
"Gask, Cross, Marek, Berkeley, Dahl."
"My subordinate is here."
Hearing Locke's name, Gaske and the other four immediately responded loudly.
"Now, the five of you will immediately begin to build Locke Territory."
"I hope that you can build a city that can accommodate more than one million people within half a year without affecting the lives of the people in Locke Territory."
"This is the first task I give you. I hope you will take my words to heart."
"Once the city is built, I will grant you noble titles based on your performance in this mission."
"Yes, Lord Locke."
After getting Locke's promise, Gaske and the other four were overjoyed. They knelt on one knee in front of Locke and expressed their loyalty to him.
"Lord Locke, let's start preparing now."
The five excited people, after swearing allegiance to Locke, planned to immediately begin to complete the task assigned by Lord Locke.
After all, Lord Locke had said that after the city was built, he would confer titles on himself and others.
The title of nobility is their lifelong pursuit!
If they were not afraid of disturbing the people in the territory and causing Lord Locke's displeasure, they could have issued labor within the territory and let the young and strong people in the territory build the city.
In this way, the task assigned by Lord Locke can be completed in one month at most.
However, since Lord Locke has already pushed the time to half a year and said that it should not affect the normal lives of the people in the territory, they naturally cannot do so.
But this does not bother them.
In order to complete the construction of Lord Locke's Mansion earlier and allow themselves and others to obtain the title of nobility earlier, they felt that the soldiers under their command could also contribute their own efforts to the construction of the city.
The soldiers in the Tsunami Legion are at least intermediate fighters of level three. If they were used to build a city, each of them would be a high-quality laborer who could be worth ten people.
Of course, even if the five of them are the captains of the Tsunami Legion, they must give something if they want their soldiers to participate in building the city.
Otherwise, the team will become demoralized and difficult to lead.
At this time, they no longer thought there was anything wrong with Lord Locke keeping a tortured prisoner in his tent.
"Well, you go ahead."
After waving his hand, Locke waited until Gaske and the other four left before turning his gaze to the Knight Commander of the Temple of Light.
"You, what do you want to do?"
The Knight Commander of the Temple of Light was frightened by Locke's gaze and asked tremblingly, "You just said that you won't force me to question you."
"Don't go back on your word..."
Unfortunately, Locke now simply ignored his words.
In Locke's eyes, this guy is definitely the most suitable experimental subject for direct training at this stage.
Closing his eyes, Locke released his mental power, which instantly rushed towards the Knight Commander.
Locke is now at the peak of the Holy Domain, and this Knight Commander even reached the Holy Domain realm with the help of the Lord of Light Augusta.
Although his mental power has reached the level of a seventh-level magician, this level of mental power has no defensive power at all in front of Locke.
Just like bursting a bubble, Locke's mental power did not encounter any effective resistance at all.
Locke's mental power easily entered the soul space of the Knight Commander of the Temple of Light.
This situation did not surprise Locke.
After all, there are not many people who can master soul attacks at the Sanctuary stage.
This guy is just a sanctuary that was created. He may not even have figured out the essence of "harmony between man and nature", let alone mobilizing his mental power to launch soul attacks or defenses.
"So weak..."
Shaking his head, Locke's mental power condensed into his own appearance in this guy's soul space and slowly moved forward.
