However, after returning from the church, Levi considered himself a law-abiding person.
As long as I don't take the initiative to provoke the church, the church should not do anything to me.
It's just that it's no longer possible to skip paying tithes and other various church taxes like before because the emperor is far away.
There is no way, the church is the one who makes the rules of this world.
Regardless of whether gods are real or not, the seven orthodox churches are undisputed giants.
And in the Emerald Kingdom, the Holy Light Church is the sky.
"In the final analysis, it's because I don't have the strength. If I had the strength of a great knight, I would just stay away from worldly disputes and be able to protect myself anywhere in this world."
"And if I become a legendary knight, just like the Shining Tavern where the legendary knight is rumored to be in charge, I will directly open a black market in the cities and territories of your major kingdoms and nobles, and I won't pay taxes to you, and you can't say anything."
In an age when miracles are unseen, the legendary knights are gods among men.
Therefore, Levi’s goal is very clear, if he cannot become a wizard.
I also want to become a legendary knight and be a god on earth.
In the blink of an eye, the flower month has passed.
Judging from Knight Fred's intelligence, the church acted very quickly.
He had just sent away the masters of the Rock Territory and the Frostwind Territory, and then he began to drive the serfs in the territory to build a church that was more magnificent than Levi's castle.
At the end of the Moon of Flowers, Levi practiced the Frost Wolf Breathing Technique step by step according to the inheritance scroll as usual.
"It's been a month, and I've only been practicing the Black Snake Breathing Method for half a month. Could it be that this Blood Breathing Method really requires blood?"
Levi was unwilling to give up. Logically speaking, he should be able to master the basic level of breathing method in a few days, but he had been practicing this basic level of Frost Wolf Breathing Method for a month and had not yet mastered it.
This made him a little discouraged.
"Hold on for another month. If that doesn't work, then I'll try the Giant Bear Breathing Technique. If that doesn't work either, then I'll give up. I can only melt the magic armor into mithril and recast it into ordinary armor."
Levi said to himself, it would be a lie to say he wasn't disappointed.
However, this month was not without gain. With the help of the Black Snake Secret Medicine, his proficiency in the Black Snake Breathing Technique increased by a thousand points in just one month, which was more than twice the level of normal practice.
At this rate, he could become a formal knight before he finished taking the Black Snake Secret Medicine, provided he successfully condensed the Seed of Life.
The proficiency of the Golden Cross Slash also increased by more than a thousand.
There was also a breakthrough in forging. This month, he had been forging armor plates, which was a delicate job and much more difficult than forging a knight's sword.
Because it was his first time forging, Levi was not very skilled. Plus he had been busy lately, so it took him a month to complete the main parts of the armor.
On this day, Levi was hammering on the forge in the castle again.
He used the cold forging method to forge the armor. The knight asked Levi to design an armor similar to plate armor. This kind of armor was relatively easy to make and was better than the complicated chain mail.
Moreover, only this kind of plate armor can defend against the piercing attacks of bows and swords on the battlefield. Chain mail can only defend against some ordinary bows and arrows, but it has the advantage of being lightweight.
Levi was shirtless, revealing his strong muscles. The last part of the plate armor, the breastplate, was gradually taking shape under his repeated forging.
Finally, with the proficiency prompt, Levi's set of plate armor designed specifically for the knight was finally completed.
And Levi can be considered a formal blacksmith.
[Forging proficiency +101]
The sharp lines, the rugged beauty, the heavy temperament, the metallic scent, Levi admired his masterpiece with satisfaction.
"Not bad, not bad, let's price it at 25 gold coins per set." Levi thought to himself. Under normal circumstances, the market price of this kind of plate armor is around 20 gold coins.
But I made it myself, and with the blessing of [Must be a Fine Product], the quality is definitely better than those made by ordinary blacksmiths, and selling it for 25 gold per piece is not expensive at all.
Only nobles and knights could afford to buy a full set of armor worth twenty cows. Ordinary knights or servants would be lucky to have one piece.
There is no way. The most important reason is that the world's productivity is backward and iron production is extremely low.
After traveling to this world, Levi realized how happy he was to live in his previous life.
Even though he was a noble, his sense of happiness was far less than in his previous life.
The comfort and convenience brought by technology are so precious that we only realize how precious they are when we lose them.
"Just forging this set of plate armor, I gained several hundred points of forging proficiency. This is really a big project."
"Once I cast a few dozen pieces, forging should be able to advance to the fourth level. I wonder if the special effects will change by then."
Levi -
Black Snake Breathing Technique: Level 3 (5011/10000)
Golden Cross Slash: Level 3 (5427/10000), Special Effect: Advanced Vibration
Taming: Level 3 (Ultimate), Special Effect: Heart of the Wild
Forging: Level 3 (2008/10000), Special Effects: Definitely Excellent
…
Levi looked at the proficiency panel. Although there was no change in the level compared to a few months ago, there was great progress in the progress bar.
He had just put his armor away when he saw Knight Fred coming over. He had been waiting here for some time.
"What's the matter? Sir Fred." Levi asked after putting on his clothes.
"Master, people from the church are here." Knight Fred shrugged and said.
"How many people are here?"
"Just two, a priest and a full knight."
"Then let's go and take a look."
Levi put on his noble attire and, for safety's sake, wore a layer of chain mail underneath.
Ever since he knew how dangerous this world was, Levi started wearing chain mail when he slept, two layers of it, with a breastplate on his chest. It was uncomfortable, but safe.
Outside the castle, a priest in a white holy robe, accompanied by a church knight in silver armor, stood outside the castle gate, waiting for the owner to open the door.
"Lord Abraham, this Baron Black Snake is really rude. He actually made us wait in this poor place for so long." The tall knight said with an unhappy look on his face.
As an official knight of the church and a member of the Order of the Knights Glory, he is admired by everyone wherever he goes.
The priest glanced at the knight, and then said calmly: "Knight of Twilight, don't be impatient, otherwise the enemy will only seize your weakness."
As the castle gate opened, Levi and Knight Fred rode out slowly on horseback. Levi smiled, dismounted and performed a standard aristocratic salute.
"Dear Pastor Abraham, I sincerely welcome you to Blackwater Valley."
