Levi Sneak -

Black Snake Breathing Technique: Level 2 (1/5000)

Shield Skill: Level 1 (Ultimate)

…

It may be because Levi had laid a very good foundation before, and he had a senior formal knight to provide tutor-like guidance every day.

It was much easier to master the Black Snake Breathing Technique to the second level than Levi had imagined.

As for the shield-holding skill, he just practiced it to the limit. This skill is far less difficult than basic archery and basic swordsmanship. For someone who has practiced basic archery to the limit with 10,000 experience points, these are nothing.

From today on, Levi entered the second stage of the knight's squire: the sword-wielding squire!

I am one step closer to my small goal of becoming an official knight.

The next step is to reach the third level of breathing technique and become a quasi-knight.

With a proficiency requirement of 5,000 points, Levi estimated that it would take at least half a year to break through to the quasi-knight level.

You have been practicing breathing techniques for too long and need to rest your body and mind. You need to practice with a proper balance between relaxation and tension. Otherwise, if you keep being in a high-intensity and tense state, you may easily go astray.

Now that he has become a sword-wielding attendant, he already has the basic strength. Levi's current physical fitness should be twice that of a normal man. With bare hands and brute force alone, Levi can now easily beat five adult men.

This is already exaggerated. You know, Levi is only thirteen years old, he is still a child!

According to Knight Fred himself, as a senior official knight, his physical fitness is only five times that of a normal person.

This shows that the Black Snake Breathing Technique is indeed extraordinary.

But Levi lacks actual combat experience and advanced fighting skills.

Another important skill of a swordsman is sword skills or combat skills with other weapons.

Knights rarely use fists and feet in fights, even though their fists can easily kill a person. But as the saying goes, an inch longer is an inch stronger. It is too stupid to fight with fists and feet when there are weapons. And flesh and blood are definitely no match for steel.

To learn sword skills, I would have to ask Knight Fred for advice. After all, even a genius like my father had to admit that Knight Fred was better than him in swordsmanship.

This can be seen from another name Knight Fred had when he traveled around the kingdom in his early years: Dawn Swordsman!

What a cool name!

There is no rush to learn swordsmanship. Today is New Year. Levi wants to give himself a good day off and enjoy the happiness of a noble.

…

At the banquet, Levi sat in the lord's seat and Knight Fred sat next to him.

Apart from this, no other nobles came, they were all from the territory.

It was winter, and the roads were blocked by heavy snow. The Blackwater Valley was located in a remote area. Although there were three baronies around it, namely, the Stone Territory, the Frostwind Territory, and the Silver Moon Territory, they were quite far away from each other, so there was not much interaction between these lords throughout the year, especially in winter.

Only in the summer will some trade exchanges take place within the territory.

In short, the barons who can survive in this area all have a miserable life, which is why the rise of Levi's father seems so legendary. He started from the barren land in the north, made great achievements in the war between kingdoms, and made the nobles of neighboring countries know the name of the Black Snake Knight. In the end, he became the lord of two rich lands.

However, Levi also doesn't like dealing with other lords. It would be best for everyone to not cause trouble, live in peace and achieve a win-win situation.

At the outermost edge of the banquet were the shy, timid and self-abased serfs. They enjoyed the same delicacies as the lords on this day, but they did not dare to eat as much as they could, for fear of angering the lords.

In the territory, Levi is their king and can do whatever he wants with them.

At the same time, everyone was also very surprised. They didn't expect that the lord was so young, yet so majestic and powerful. He didn't look like a thirteen-year-old boy at all.

After three rounds of drinks, Levi ate by himself and enjoyed the attentive service of the maids. The maids rubbed Levi's extremely thick male body, their faces blushing.

These maids were all young farm girls. They were efficient at work and lively when chatting privately, but they were very reserved every time they served Levi.

Suddenly, a short and strong boy came to Levi, knelt on the ground with a plop, and put a long cloth bag in front of Levi. Levi knew this boy. He was the son of Toby, the old blacksmith in the territory. Levi called him "Little Toby" and his real name seemed to be "Milan".

"Little blacksmith Milan, what can I do for you?" Levi asked.

Milan opened the cloth bag, revealing a knight's sword shining with cold light.

"My Lord, this is the best sword I made last year. I would like to present it to you." He said with his head down.

"Oh?" Levi took the sword. There were very few impurities on the blade of the sword. Whether it was the selection of materials for forging or the polishing and sharpening, in this world of low productivity, it was definitely of medium quality and worth one or two gold coins.

"It is indeed a good sword." Levi was not stingy with his praise and accepted it without hesitation. The people in the territory were all his vassals, and their lands and properties also belonged to Levi, so he could accept it with peace of mind. After all, he still had to protect their safety in this chaotic and dark world.

"By the way, is your father in good health?" Levi asked with concern. He was not pretending. Old Toby was the most important blacksmith in the territory. The weapons and equipment used for militia training and the farm tools used by serfs were all made by Old Toby's family. They were the talents of the territory.

The young blacksmith Milan suddenly lowered his head, knelt on the ground, sobbed and begged: "My Lord, yesterday when my father and I were pulling ore in the mountains, we encountered the Wild Boar Gang. I ran away quickly, but my father was kidnapped. I have no choice but to come to you for help."

When Li Wei heard this, his face turned cold: "Wild Boar Gang? The thing I was most worried about has happened. I know about your father's matter. I will take care of it. You go home and wait for my news."

Because of this little episode, Levi's good mood today was ruined.

After the dinner, Knight Fred came to Levi with murderous intent in his eyes and said, "It is obvious that the Wild Boar Gang kidnapped Old Toby long ago. After all, their gang has been growing and developing recently and needs a lot of weapons. Naturally, they have targeted an excellent blacksmith like Old Toby. The leader of the Wild Boar Gang is the Wild Boar Knight Pigg. This man used to be a blacksmith, and he was also Old Toby's apprentice. Later, I don't know where he got the breathing method from, and he even broke through to a formal knight by chance. But he should not be my opponent. Otherwise, I will take a team to bring Old Toby back tomorrow."
