"Dear Baron Levi Snake, the Flower Month is coming soon, and the silver frost flowers in Silver Moon Territory are about to bloom. I sincerely invite you to attend the aristocratic ball I will host this year..."

The letter was from Baron Fox of the neighboring Silver Moon Territory.

"Want to go?"

Knight Fred asked.

"No."

Levi refused decisively.

"Then I'll ask someone to write a letter to decline."

Knight Fred turned and left.

"I am still too weak now. If I go to the ball alone, I will probably not be able to escape if someone spots me. But if I take Knight Fred with me, who will guard this territory?"

There is no high-speed rail in this world, and the roads are inconvenient, so it takes at least one or two days to go back and forth.

Levi himself had no interest in the aristocratic ball.

This is nothing more than a boring social activity used by the nobles of this world to demonstrate their superiority.

When he was a child, his father took him to a noble ball hosted by the Duke of Montenegro, where he witnessed the hypocrisy of these nobles.

"If you have this much time, you might as well work on your proficiency."

After saying that, Levi continued to practice.

Stay in the territory, safe and comfortable.

…

Time flies, and the month of flowers (May) is here.

After crossing several mountains, about two hundred miles south of Blackwater Valley is the Silver Moon Territory.

Baron Fox is the owner of this territory.

This day was the day when Baron Fox held a noble ball.

In the Silver Moon Territory, on a hillside where silver frost flowers are in full bloom.

The noble boys and girls were dressed in gorgeous clothes. They admired the flowers, drank fine wine, ate barbecue, danced aristocratic dances, and chatted about some meaningless gossip.

"I heard that the youngest daughter of the Duke of Montenegro is engaged to Edward, the knight on a white horse from the royal family."

"Oh my god, this is too good to be true. Edward the Knight on the White Horse, a great knight who is only 25 years old, is hailed as the most promising figure in this era of the royal family to become a legendary knight."

“Although the White Horse Knight is not a legendary knight, he is already a legendary figure in the royal family. He made his mark at the beginning of the Millennium Holy War, and single-handedly killed two Storm Knights of the Storm Church. He is now the dream lover and prince charming of all the noble girls in the entire Emerald Kingdom. Hehe, I dreamed last night that the White Horse Knight and I were on his unicorn... hehehe.”

"Speaking of which, in the Blackwater Valley to the north of my father's territory, a genius who was no less talented than the White Horse Knight was born. Many people believed that he could become a legend, but he died in the Millennium Holy War."

"You mean the Black Snake Knight? The Black Snake Knight is too old-fashioned. He couldn't forget his first love and his deceased wife until his death. He didn't marry more women to leave more bloodline descendants for the Snake family. He only left Levi, the prodigal son."

"Yes, Levi from the Black Snake Family is a coward. He gave away his father's legacy with his own hands. Such a person will never amount to anything. Moreover, my father invited him to the aristocratic ball, but he refused to come. He didn't give my father any face at all. This is too rude, hum!" said one of Baron Fox's daughters angrily.

These noble young men were talking and laughing, and when the conversation got deep, there were some drunken ones. Men and women would run to the grove behind the hillside and do some excited things to have a deeper communication and connection.

Although there are restrictions from the church, the nobles in this world can always turn some normal social dances into abnormal and decadent gatherings.

In the meeting hall of Silvermoon Castle, three noble knights in armor were drinking and chatting.

The leader was a middle-aged noble with a narrow face and a thin body. He was the owner of Silver Moon Territory, Baron Fox, but people generally called him the "Silver Fox Knight". The other two were Baron Bill, the "Rock Bear Knight" of Rock Territory, and Baron Wolf, the "Frost Wolf Knight" of Frostwind Territory.

These three barons are Levi's neighbors, and they are also official knights.

"Thank you both for attending my dance."

Baron Fox said with a smile and elegant manner.

"Old fox, just tell me what you want to do. Everyone knows that the Silver Fox family has always been cunning and scheming. We in the Rock Bear family don't like to beat around the bush."

The tall and muscular Rock Bear Knight said this in a blunt tone. Years of practicing the Rock Family's Giant Bear Breathing Technique have made his body much larger than that of an ordinary person. He is two meters and three meters tall, like a little giant. His full and strong devilish muscles contain the same strength as a bear.

"Big guy, you really haven't changed at all. You don't give the Silver Fox Knight any face at all." The Frostwolf Knight said with a smile. He looked around and said, "By the way, why didn't the people from the Black Snake Family come?"

The Silver Fox Knight coughed, and then said, "The little black snake rejected my invitation. I bet it was the Snake Knight's idea. But it doesn't matter. Without Thord, the Black Snake Family is already dead in name only. With only a Snake Knight who is about to leave his peak, it will soon be destroyed."

"I asked you all to come here this time to discuss the future plans of our three major families. For this purpose, I also invited a heavyweight figure to come here."

After the Silver Fox Knight finished speaking, he clapped his hands.

Then the door of the parliament hall slowly opened, and a knight wearing plate armor and a meteor hammer hanging from his waist rumbled in, his face shrouded in the helmet.

"This is?"

The expressions of Rock Bear Knight and Frostwolf Knight changed slightly and they looked at Silver Fox Knight.

"Don't panic, you two. This is the Boar Rider from the Wilderness Brotherhood. He is not here to fight with us, but to discuss something."

The Silver Fox Knight said with a smile.

"You are the Wild Boar Knight. I heard that you practice the Wild Boar Breathing Technique, which makes you extremely powerful. Some people even say that your strength is even stronger than that of our Rock Bear family. Haha." The Rock Bear Knight sneered, obviously not convinced. When it comes to strength, many excellent breathing techniques cannot compare to their family's Giant Bear Breathing Technique.

The Boar Rider glanced at the Rock Bear Rider and said nothing.

"Silver Fox Knight, you actually invited people from the Wilderness Brotherhood. If the kingdom and the church find out, you know the consequences."

The Frostwolf Knight's expression changed drastically.

“There are only a few of us who know about this. As long as you don’t tell anyone, the church will naturally have no way of knowing.” The Silver Fox Knight narrowed his eyes and smiled meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Rock Bear Knight and Frostwolf Knight changed drastically.

I saw the Boar Rider blocking the door of the castle's meeting hall.

The Silver Fox Knight said apologetically, "I'm sorry, both of you. I am doing this for the Silver Fox Family."

"You...you don't think you can leave the two of us behind." The Frostwolf Knight drew the sword from his waist, and the Rock Bear Knight swung his hammer weighing hundreds of pounds.

The Boar Knight, who had been silent the whole time, took out an antique black snuff bottle from somewhere, and uttered strange, chant-like syllables.

"Lamp Spirit, Lamp Spirit, show yourself quickly."
