Official knights are extremely important to any noble force in the kingdom.

Now, even if Levi has no territory, he can rely on his own strength to join the territories of other nobles, become their knight and be loyal to them.

But Levi, who was used to being a lord, certainly didn't want to be a slave to others. He had had enough of being a capitalist's dog in his previous life.

In this life, he no longer wants to live by relying on other people's opinions like he did in his previous life.

"I should celebrate my breakthrough to becoming a knight. I won't practice today. I'll ask the twin maids to give me a massage tonight."

Under various pressures, Levi was like a machine that never stopped, practicing madly, working hard, forging iron, and making money.

Although this is extremely fulfilling, humans are not machines after all, and they will always get tired.

Today he felt that it was time for him to relax for a few days. He did not plan to practice breathing techniques in the next few days. He would just sleep and practice the Golden Cross Slash.

Life is a combination of work and rest.

Cultivation is not the goal. Longevity, freedom and unfettered living are the goals. Cultivation is just a tool.

At night, Levi soaked in the bathtub, breaking through to become a formal knight and excreting a lot of toxins. The twin maids massaged Levi's muscles all over his body, one on each side.

"Master, your body is too hard and rough. My hands hurt." Ariel pouted, inadvertently revealing some of her chest, and said in a tender voice.

"Take a rest if you're tired. Let your sister continue. You two can take turns." Levi closed his eyes, enjoying the rare comfortable life.

Nothing happened during the night. After taking a shower, Levi returned to his bedroom to rest.

"I hope Knight Fred has a smooth trip."

Levi was still worried about Knight Fred, not the goods worth hundreds of gold coins.

Knight Fred is Levi's only relative in the world, and he doesn't want to lose him.

Just like that, Levi fell into a deep sleep.

…

On a starry night, everything is silent.

In the dark night, a figure covered in a black nightgown sneaked into the Blackwater Valley like a ghost. He came to the side of the Black Snake Castle, stood in the valley, looked at the towering castle built against the mountain, and talked to himself.

"This castle has a good geographical location and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Unfortunately, for me, it is just a decoration."

"After waiting for seven days, I finally waited for the Serpent Eagle Knight to leave."

"Haha, Baron Levi, I, the Phantom Knight, will take your head without hesitation."

This man in night clothes and simple leather armor is extremely agile. He is the Phantom Knight, an emotionless killer from a killer organization with members all over the kingdom: The Voice of the Death Bird.

This is an organization similar to a killer's guild. They are scattered across the country and take orders from the five top leaders of the organization.

The target of assassination can be a civilian, a noble, or even a formal knight or a member of the royal family. As long as you pay enough, there will be some powerful killers who will take action to complete the commission for you.

Phantom Knight is one of the killers. He mainly carries out assassination missions in the areas around Icewind City. He received an assassination mission from a big customer from a broker some time ago. The big customer is of a very distinguished status. He doesn't even know who the big customer is, but he doesn't care who he is.

As long as the money is in place, even if he is a formal knight, the Phantom Knight will find a way to kill him.

As a wandering knight, the Phantom Knight has no worries. After killing someone, he flees thousands of miles away and no one can catch him.

Since his debut, he has perfectly completed many assassination missions.

The assassination list included a baron, three noble disciples, a countess, and even two official knights.

Therefore, he did not think that assassinating Levi was a difficult task. After all, Levi's prodigality and cowardice were well-known in some circles that were familiar with the Black Snake Knight.

However, a truly dedicated killer would give his all even if it meant killing a 100-year-old woman.

Therefore, the Phantom Knight is fully armed with grappling hooks, daggers, poison, quicklime, and everything else.

He approached the castle cautiously. There were soldiers patrolling below the castle.

Taking advantage of the night, he observed the situation around him and decided to climb over the wall with the least soldiers with the help of a grappling hook, then find Levi's bedroom, quickly assassinate the sleeping Levi, and then go to collect the commission with Levi's head.

"A perfect plan." The Phantom Knight sneered in his heart.

He found the wall with the weakest defense. Under this high wall, there was only a drowsy soldier.

He approached slowly, and relying on his agility and flexibility, he went around behind the soldier.

"The Lord of Shadows is above." The Phantom Knight does not believe in the Father of Heaven, but a very unpopular Lord of Shadows.

The power of this god is killing, fraud, and shadow. He is the object of faith of most killers and assassins and a small number of conspirators and politicians.

Then, he dealt with the soldier cleanly and neatly. The soldier was just an ordinary person. Although he had received training, he was far inferior to a formal knight like the Phantom Knight.

The soldiers' bodies quickly cooled in this season of north wind.

The Phantom Knight didn't care about the corpse. Anyway, he would have disappeared in the wilderness before the sun rose tomorrow.

He used the grappling hook to climb over the high wall, jumped down lightly, and landed perfectly. He gracefully patted the dust off his body, then raised his head.

Then he found three huge shadows looking at him curiously.

These three shadows are none other than the three brothers Xiaobai, Xiaohui and Xiaopang.

On the other side of this high wall with the weakest defense is the bear circle of the three brothers!

The Phantom Knight never thought that one day he would come face to face with three giant bears after sneaking into the castle.

"Damn it, Levi, that damn bitch, actually kept a bear in the castle. Lord of Shadows, this is not an ordinary bear, but a giant bear from the north, although it looks underage."

The Phantom Knight exclaimed inwardly.

The three brothers were also confused. When the Phantom Knight was outside, they smelled a strange smell approaching the castle.

Levi's training for them included familiarizing themselves with the smell of every soldier and servant in the castle, so that if any stranger approached, they could sense it the first time.

Therefore, the Phantom Knight thought that his sneaking in was flawless, but he didn't know that he had already been discovered by the three brothers.

And now, he had to face the attack of three giant northern bears. Even though they were still children, this also made a formal knight like the Phantom Knight feel a little nervous.

"Damn it, I have to pay more after this mission is completed!"
