However, Feodor at that time did not offer this woman to the family, but imprisoned her in the basement of his own house. Then, while continuing to look for other women who could make the beads glow and glow, he secretly investigated what role these women could play that was worth the family's effort to find.
Feodor believed that only if the value of this woman far exceeded the rewards given by the family, would the family be willing to exchange these things for the woman who could make the beads shine.
Hard work pays off. After seven years, Feodor finally figured out how these women were used.
So, one day, Feodor secretly took the woman with him and set out on a journey alone.
In the end, he successfully advanced from a level six warrior to an level eight warrior.
After his strength improved, Feodor's status in the family was improved, but unfortunately, as a collateral descendant, he could still feel that some of the seventh-level warriors of the direct line did not take him seriously.
More than a hundred years ago, the Aura family finally found a woman with a pure soul, and announced their separation from the Frost and Snow Empire and joined the Temple of Light.
Of course, as a reward to the Aura family, the Pope of the Temple of Light held a sacrifice ceremony for the patriarch of the Aura family, allowing the patriarch of the Aura family to become a powerful figure in the Holy Land.
At this point, the Aura family became a holy domain family under the Temple of Light.
And in the next hundred years or so, Feodor, with his extraordinary luck, found two women with pure souls. After privately sacrificing them, he successfully ascended to the Sanctuary and became the second Sanctuary of the Aura family.
Of course, Feodor's becoming a sanctuary meant that his failure to give the woman with a pure soul to his family was exposed, and he was criticized by most members of the Aura family.
In a fit of rage, Feodor killed many people who spoke rudely to him, making the people of the Aura family fully realize what "the holy land cannot be insulted" meant.
Of course, in the end Feodor was defeated by the patriarch of the Aura family, expelled from the family, and no longer had the surname "Aura".
It was precisely because of this that Feodor cooperated with other sanctuaries to launch a surprise attack and kill the previous commander of the Fifth Legion of the Frost Empire, thus regaining the title of Earl of the Temple of Light.
Chapter 35 Fucheng
Feodor said "Don't bully the poor middle-aged people" because Feodor was promoted from a level 6 warrior to an level 8 warrior when he was in his seventies.
If nothing unexpected happens, a level six warrior can live to the limit of an ordinary human's lifespan, which is one hundred and twenty years.
A level six warrior in his seventies could almost be considered "old", but Feodor refused to accept his age and felt that only after the age of eighty could one be considered "old". Moreover, after being promoted to a level eight warrior, his lifespan exceeded the limit of ordinary people and he could live to three hundred years old.
When he was over 230 years old, Feodor was promoted to the Holy Realm, so Feodor felt that no matter at which level he was, he could be called "middle-aged".
However, now Feodor could never imagine that the "deepest memory" in his mind was just a fake thing that Locke forced into his soul.
At present, Locke's analysis of Feodor's soul has entered a "bottleneck period", that is, no matter how many times Locke analyzes Feodor's soul, he will no longer make any new discoveries.
Locke had anticipated such a situation.
From Feodor's soul, Locke's understanding of the soul also became deeper.
After consuming most of his mental power, Locke exited the state of fusion with the mystery of the law and turned to meditation to restore his mental power.
By the time Locke's mental strength had fully recovered, it had already darkened.
At this time, Locke will sink his mind into his own soul space.
Then, based on the secrets he had comprehended, he arranged defenses in his own soul space.
As a time traveler, Locke knew that there were things in his mind that the creatures in the Panlong Universe could not understand or accept.
Therefore, Locke pays the most attention to the safety of his soul.
In the Panlong Universe, except for those who have profound attainments in the soul, most gods will not use their soul power to refine soul defense artifacts.
Even if they were the main gods, the soul defense main artifacts they refined still utilized their own powerful willpower to give the main artifacts the ability to defend against soul attacks.
But Locke is different.
After comprehending the mystery of the "Mystery of Fog" law in the mysteries of water laws and possessing the ability to use soul power to carry out soul attacks, Locke has never stopped studying the soul.
Whether it was the ten years of seclusion in Enbo Territory or the more than ten years of practice in Pu'er Village, Locke's level of spiritual attainments was steadily improving.
The existence of Feodor, the Knight Commander of the Temple of Light, has allowed Locke's research on the soul to reach a new level.
Previously, Locke's research on the soul was mainly focused on the "perception" of the soul. "Heavenly Dance Wheel" was Locke's culmination of his research on the "perception" of the soul.
Now, Locke has access to the soul's "memories".
Through the study of memories in the soul, Locke completely blocked all memories of his past life in his soul and attached a lock on it.
If someone breaks through the defense of his soul and attempts to destroy the "lock", this part of Locke's soul will immediately explode, leaving no one the opportunity to read his soul's memory.
In terms of soul defense, Locke used his soul power to arrange a circle of white mist outside his soul based on his profound understanding of the "Mystery of Fog" law.
All soul attacks that want to attack one's own soul must first break through this layer of soul power defense before they can cause damage to one's own soul.
Of course, this thin layer of soul power mist is not such a simple thing.
This mist also contains Locke's own soul attack "Tianwu Baolun".
All soul attacks that enter the fog will be deprived of their perception by the "Tianwu Treasure Wheel", making the soul attacks that enter Locke's soul space like blind and deaf people, unable to lock onto Locke's soul.
Naturally, it can only exhaust its power and dissipate in this soul mist, and cannot pose any threat to Locke.
Every day, Locke's schedule is full.
However, Locke felt that his life was very fulfilling.
……
"Lord Locke!"
On this day, Locke had just completed his training when the voice of the captain of the guards came from outside the tent.
"Captain Gasco is here."
"Gaske?"
Hearing the name, Locke was stunned.
Then, when Locke heard the guard say "Captain", he immediately reacted.
This Gasike is one of the five captains of the Tsunami Legion.
At this time, Locke also remembered that he had become the lord of this territory, the Grand Duke Locke of the Frost Empire.
Gasike and others received their own orders to build a city for themselves that could accommodate three million people.
Could it be that they have already built the city?
"Let him in."
"Yes, Lord Locke."
A few seconds later, a middle-aged man with a beard entered Locke's tent.
"To the Grand Duke."
"No need to be polite, Gasco."
"Yes."
After standing up, Gaske said, "Grand Duke, according to your wishes, we have completed the construction of the city, and are currently arranging for people around the city to live in the city."
"Currently, there are approximately 400,000 people living in the city."
The capital city, which can accommodate three million people, has only 400,000 residents. As the capital city of a grand duke, it is indeed far from enough.
However, Locke was not surprised by this.
After all, he had already instructed Gasike and the other four that the construction of the capital city must not affect the lives of the people in Locke County.
"very good."
"Now that the city has been built, let's set off now."
"After entering the city, you will immediately gather all the soldiers of the Tsunami Legion and tell them that we will reward them in Locke City."
……
"good."
Above the city of Locke, Locke and Feodor stood in the void, looking at the city that belonged to them at their feet.
Locke City is surrounded by walls more than 20 meters high, with only gates left in four directions.
The largest and most luxurious building in the city, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers, is Locke's mansion.
With the manor as the center, it is divided into four blocks. The closer the house is to the manor, the better the decoration.
At present, except for the densely populated areas around the lord's mansion, which make the streets look prosperous, there are far fewer people living farther away, and the houses are no longer built with rocks and bricks, but wooden houses or houses made of mud.
Chapter 36 Retreat
It has been nearly half a year since the end of the crusade between the Temple of Light and the Frost and Snow Empire.
During this period, the people in Locke's territory also accepted the fact that they had returned to the embrace of the Frost and Snow Empire.
Those who refused moved their families to the sphere of influence of the Temple of Light.
Locke did not stop these people.
The war is over and everything needs to be rebuilt. Locke County needs more people to participate in the construction.
However, Locke never thought that he could make choices for others.
In Locke's opinion, for the lower-class people, there is no difference between the Temple of Light and the Frost and Snow Empire.
The fate of the lower class people is only related to the nobles in their own territory.
If the nobles were less oppressive, the people would live better.
The more oppression the nobles have, the harder life will be for the people.
Whether it is the Temple of Light or the Frost Empire, there are always some arrogant and domineering nobles who do not treat the lower-class people as human beings, making the lives of the people in their own territories miserable.
Locke even felt that, to some extent, the Temple of Light was better than the Frost and Snow Empire.
In the Temple of Light, the search for a woman with a pure soul is open.
The high-ranking officials of the Temple of Light proclaimed in their own territory that those who could make the beads glow and emit heat were angels under the command of the Lord of Light. However, they died while fighting for the Lord of Light and were reborn in the human world.
They will use rituals to allow these women with pure souls to return to the realm of light.
As the couple who guide the angel to the earth, they will also receive very generous rewards from the Temple of Light.
In the Frost and Snow Empire, in order to conceal the fact that they were collecting women with pure souls, the top officials would usually humanely destroy all of the woman's relatives and friends upon discovery.
From Locke's point of view, neither the Temple of Light nor the high-ranking officials of the Frost Empire who hid in the dark and collected women with pure souls were good people.
