Chapter 21
Looking carefully, the man was middle-aged, in a black robe. His golden hair was slightly curled, and half of his face was covered with a beard. His deep eyes gave people a sense of relief. The most eye-catching thing was the staff in the man’s hand.
On the cane made of some unknown material, a spiraling black snake was carved. The snake was lifelike. There were two ear-like sarcomas on the top of the head. The eyes were blood red, the tongue was spitting out, and the scales exude a daunting gloom.
The god of medicine, Asclepius!
At the sight of the walking stick, Locke already knew who the man was.
“It’s really the god of medicine, Asclepius!”
Locke’s shoulders trembled slightly, and the excitement in his eyes was strong. When the god of medicine appeared, the problem of his practicing magic could be solved!
The light door disappeared and the room returned to peace.
As Asclepius looked around curiously, his eyes finally fell on Locke.
“Welcome. Asclepius, I’m Locke Capet.”
Although Locke tried his best to suppress his excitement, his voice was still trembling.
“Hello, Locke.”
Looking at Locke, Asclepius was also very casual, greeted with a smile.
After greeting, the two sat down on the chairs beside the tea table.
After sitting down, Asclepius closed his eyes to feel the surrounding environment and said, “This world is really magical. It actually has completely different law systems. Moreover, I feel the aura of the goddess, Athena, from you.”
Locke nodded, “Yes, she lives next door. But it’s late now. I guess you won’t be able to see her until tomorrow.”
“Ha-ha, it doesn’t matter. I’m not in a hurry to meet her.”
Asclepius smiled awkwardly and waved his hand. Athena was a famous aloof goddess. If he went to disturb her at such a late time, he might be slapped by her.
“Mr. Asclepius.” Locke couldn’t wait to ask, “I have some physical problems and can’t practice magic. Can you help me check it?”
“Practice magic? Let me check it for you.”
After a short pause, Asclepius pointed at Locke with his walking stick and a burst of blue energy entered Locke’s body.
Half a minute later, Asclepius finished his examination and said helplessly. “I need to get familiar with the magic system of this world to find out what’s wrong with your body.”
“Sorry, I was too anxious.”
Locke smiled apologetically. He knew he was too anxious.
It was late now, so Locke decided that a place for Asclepius would be arranged first. After the castle was expanded, there were already more rooms, and Locke immediately arranged a room for Asclepius on the other side of his bedroom.
Locke went back to his bedroom after he took the Asclepius to the room.

Locke opened the attribute panel and saw several more lines of data. Moreover, just for a while, the fondness had actually reached 20 points.
A good man! Asclepius was really a good man!
With expectation, Locke fell asleep.
The second day, in the restaurant of the castle.
“I have something to tell you.”
Seeing Athena come out, Locke said with a smile. He was already looking forward to the surprised expression on Athena’s face when she knew the arrival of the god of medicine, Asclepius.
However, Locke was disappointed. Athena sat down slowly. Before he opened his mouth, she asked lightly, “Do you want to talk about the matter of Asclepius?”
“You already know?”
Looking at Athena, Locke was stunned. But on second thought, he felt that he still thought too simple. With Athena’s means, she might know everything about the castle.
“It’s so boring. I thought I could see your surprised expression.”
Pursing his lips, Locke complained somewhat boringly.
Seeing Locke’s frustrated expression, Athena smiled charmingly. After thinking for a while, she naughtily replied, “Then I will cooperate with you next time.”
At this time, Asclepius had also entered the restaurant. Seeing that Locke was actually intimate with Athena, he couldn’t help but admire Locke secretly.
When he approached Athena, he bowed to her and greeted her respectfully, “Master Athena.”
Locke wasn’t surprised that Asclepius called Athena in this way. After all, Athena was one of the 12 main gods of Olympus. It was normal for Asclepius to call her “Master”.
Athena nodded and said calmly, “Have a seat.”
“Hi, Locke.”
Then Asclepius greeted Locke.
“Hello, Asclepius, how was your sleep last night?”
Locke asked with a smile.
Asclepius seemed very satisfied with the bed last night, smiled, and said, “It’s pretty good!”
The sudden appearance of a person in the castle surprised Kotter and the others, but they did not ask more. Residents and servants also didn’t dare to say anything more.
In the past few days, the status of Athena in the hearts of residents had risen greatly. After feeling the magic of the divine temple, all residents had confirmed that Athena was the spokesperson chosen by gods.
Kotter, Hansen, and the others were busy reclaiming the land. Outside, as long as Kotter, Kerton, and other knights had time, they would go to Victory Temple of Athena to practice.
Since the last time they discovered that practicing in the divine temple could get twice the result with half the effort and increase the speed of the practice, Kotter and others hoped to stay in the temple for practice every day.
Of course, Locke was happy to see the efforts of his men.
In order to make Asclepius more familiar with the magic power of the world, Athena personally released several magic’s. Locke also prepared a lot of basic magic books for him. After Asclepius got the magic book, he began to study it.
Locke, on the other hand, continued his training. The training ground was changed to the square of the divine temple.
On the second day, Asclepius had already studied thoroughly and prepared to transform Locke’s body. And Locke had obtained the most crucial thing to transform the body, “the blood of the snake girl, Gorgon” in advance.
In the practice room of the divine temple, there were only three people, Locke, Athena, and Asclepius.
Looking at Locke who was sitting cross-legged, Asclepius said seriously.
“According to my judgment, although the amount of spirit power in your body is unusually strong, due to the soul, your physique has undergone a change and can’t have any reaction to magic element, so you can’t keep magic element.”
“There are many risks to transform your body, but fortunately, your physical strength has been greatly improved after a long time of exercise. Even so, the process of transformation will still be very painful.”
“It’s okay. Come on.”
Locke said firmly without any hesitation. Although he had the chance to practice divine power now, he had always dreamed of learning magic. He would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
“In that case, let’s start.”
Asclepius nodded and said nothing more.
Because Asclepius’s divine power was lost now, he only provided the magic array that could transform the body. It needed Athena to control the magic array.
As Athena raised her hand, a mysterious and complicated triangle appeared in her hand. The mysterious triangle flew over Locke’s head and emitted a blue luster, wrapping Locke in the blue light.
Then Asclepius opened the bottle containing the blood of the snake girl, Gorgon, and poured the blood into the mysterious triangle.
