Chapter 025: Shining Tavern



White smoke rose up, Levi stomped his feet, and suddenly exploded!

Transforming into an arrow shot from a bow, the knight's sword pierced through the void.

Golden Cross Slash!

The power of vibration!

Click!

The sturdy man holding the knife instantly felt the base of his hand holding the knife being cracked, and he was shaking violently, almost dropping the knife.

"This is... a quasi-knight!"

"You are also a knight-to-be!"

"How is it possible? How could there be such a young knight-to-be in such a remote place?"

The sturdy man couldn't believe it. Although the boy was strong, you could tell from his face that he was not very old, maybe seventeen or eighteen years old at most.

Such young prospective knights are either disciples of great nobles with abundant resources, or they are truly gifted people.

"Aren't you too? Are you scared?" Levi grinned.

With a backhand strike of the sword, the strong man's already inferior and rusty hatchet was directly broken, and the blade was snapped.

The strong man looked at the half-broken blade and was stunned.

During this moment of distraction, Levi's sword had already pierced through the strong man's simple cloth armor, entered his chest, and crushed it.

Then, Levi drew his sword and stood up. All this happened in a flash.

The other bandits did not expect that Levi would kill their boss so quickly. They had all witnessed the boss's strength. Before this, they had successfully carried out several waves of robberies under the leadership of the boss. Although they were all small-scale targeting poor civilians who had little money, the boss had already left an impression of invincibility in their hearts.

So, when the boss decided to form the Wild Grass Gang and determined to develop in this area, they all agreed without hesitation.

Now, the boss's body was lying in the snow and water. They panicked and started to scatter.

Levi naturally would not let him go. Since he dared to rob him, he must be prepared to die.

After a few arrows, all those who were running were shot dead and fell in the snow. Those who were still alive saw that it was impossible to escape, so they crawled on the ground and began to beg Levi for forgiveness.

"Sir Knight, please don't kill us. We are just ordinary people who just want to make a living."

"I didn't mean to kill you. I just wanted to rob the dry food on your back to fill my stomach. Really, God, please believe me!"

"You can't kill me. I have a blind wife at home who I need to support. Please!"

These people were talking to each other, their eyes revealing an extremely strong desire for life, as if the teenage boy in front of them was the terrible god of death.

"Let's go." Levi said calmly, his eyes flickering.

"Thank you, you are a good man."

“We won’t do that again.”

These people were shocked and confused, but finally turned around and started running.

Levi looked at them with cold eyes and began to draw his bow.

On the snow, Levi found some dry firewood, piled the thirteen bodies together, and lit a blazing fire with flint.

"Let the flames warm your afterlife."

Levi said to himself, his tone gentle and calm.

Among these thirteen robbers, the youngest was about the same age as him and was still a child.

Levi believed that most of them told the truth before they died, as it was difficult for people to tell lies when they were extremely frightened.

But what does this have to do with Levi?

If I don't have the strength, I might be the one to be destroyed.

There may be various reasons why these people became bandits, but the most important one is the chaotic and dark era.

But there was only one reason for their death: they wanted to harm Levi.

In the end, after Levi obtained more than a dozen silver coins from these poor guys, he continued on his way.

Not long after, he arrived at Icewind City.

From afar, he saw the huge silver-white city standing majestically among the mountains, and the most conspicuous pure white Holy Light Church with a hint of Gothic style in the center of the city.

"It's really good. It's not inferior to the Flower City in my father's Tulip Territory. The Flower City is exquisite and gorgeous, while this Ice Wind City is majestic and magnificent, with a distinct northern style."

After showing his pass, Levi entered the city smoothly.

Compared to the deserted Blackwater Valley with a total population of only a thousand.

This Icewind City is extremely lively, according to incomplete official statistics.

The population living in Icewind City alone is over 100,000.

Add to that some illegal residents, traveling merchants, and travelers, and the population of Icewind City is bound to be large.

Of course, this cannot be compared with the modern cities with a population of millions or tens of millions in the previous life, but compared with the early Middle Ages in Europe with a similar level of productivity development, it is still much stronger.

But it is understandable. After all, the area of ​​this Emerald Kingdom is many times larger than that of Europe.

Levi did not delay and went directly to the largest chamber of commerce in Icewind City: the Emerald Chamber of Commerce with his luggage.

Being able to bear the name of Jade, this Chamber of Commerce is certainly not simple. Behind it are the royal family and the shadows of several grand dukes, such as the Duke of Montenegro.

If you want to invest in the Jade Chamber of Commerce, you must at least have the title of earl.

Therefore, this is a super chamber of commerce jointly established by a group of great nobles, which almost monopolizes all walks of life in the Emerald Kingdom.

And the one in Icewind City is just its branch, with its headquarters in Emerald King City.

Levi touched the heavy gold coins in his arms and felt relieved. With hundreds of gold coins on him now, he could be considered a rich man.

"Hello, do you have ambergris?" Levi asked.

He was not worried about being recognized by others. He was just an inconspicuous little lord in the North. There was no Internet in this era, and he had not made a name for himself. Who would know him?

When the Chamber of Commerce staff heard that the customer was asking about ambergris, they knew that the customer was a wealthy man, and most likely a knight who practiced breathing techniques. He was no longer surprised.

"I'm sorry, sir, we don't have ambergris in the store right now. If you want... Well, don't leave. You can look at other things."

Levi's figure had disappeared on the street.

"Fortunately, I have made mental preparations. If even the Emerald Chamber of Commerce doesn't have ambergris, then there is only one place in the entire Icewind City that might have it. If there is nothing there, then I will go home and slowly work on it. It just takes a little more time."

Levi bought a white wolf mask at a gift shop, put it on himself, and walked through the streets and alleys. Finally, amidst the sounds of melodious harps, playful whistles, and men drinking and laughing, he came to a warm tavern. The dim lights of the tavern were on in the evening. Through the window, he could see the stove burning inside. On the wooden sign at the door of the tavern, it was written:

"The Shining Tavern."

"Today's ticket: Lion King Liquor."

"Come, come, my friend, drink this cup of Lion King's wine, and may your future be as bright as that of the Lionheart Knight!"

At the door of the tavern, there stood a burly man. Everyone who entered had to pay a gold coin, buy a glass of expensive Lion King Liquor, and then drink it to prove the visitor's financial strength and courage.

Because, this Shining Tavern, although a tavern on the surface, is actually an underground trading market secretly.

Common name: black market.
