The power of ripples.

The second level of the Golden Cross Slash.

A force-generating technique that is more advanced than the force of vibration.

It was not until the moment he mastered this power that Levi realized how wonderful the world of kendo was.

"Knight Fred said that if you master the power of ripples, it is equivalent to mastering a sword skill of at least excellent level."

"With my elite Black Snake Breathing Technique, elite Golden Cross Slash, and the assistance of the third-level Frost Wolf Breathing Technique, I wonder how strong I am. Fred should be back soon. By then, I will have to learn from Knight Fred."

"But I only mastered the basic power of ripples. Fred has been immersed in ripples for more than ten years. Maybe he has mastered the advanced power of ripples. I can't be proud."

Levi felt relaxed. The emotions that had been suppressed for too long were fully released with the successive breakthroughs in breathing techniques and the Golden Cross Slash in the past two days.

"The knight stage can be divided into four levels: low-level knight, middle-level knight, high-level knight, and peak knight. However, there is no so-called level division at the great knight stage. I have just broken through, so I should only be a low-level knight, but my real strength should be at the middle level."

Levi wanted to test his own strength, but there was no one in the territory who could match him.

Moreover, it is difficult for Levi to use a killing move like the Golden Cross Slash on his own people.

"Forget it, I'll go forge iron first and consolidate my realm."

Today, Levi has regarded forging as a means to cultivate his sentiments and consolidate his state of mind.

Forging is a technical job, and it is also a job that requires a lot of patience and concentration.

In Levi's opinion, breathing practice and forging complement each other and promote each other, and are particularly suitable for practicing together.

The furnace burned, the bellows blew, and the dagger obtained from the unknown killer was reforged by Levi.

Crackling, ping-pong.

Under the blast furnace, Levi was sweating.

Time passed slowly, and a pitch-black dagger gradually took shape under Levi's hammering.

After a series of quenching processes.

[Forging proficiency +2]

There was already a dagger in Levi's hand.

Compared to the strangely curved shape of the previous dagger, the dagger Levi recast was closer to the bronze dagger from the Warring States Period in his previous life, and was quite standard.

Levi played with it for a while, and even tried to use advanced force techniques such as ripple force, and finally succeeded.

As Knight Fred said, the Golden Cross Slash is more like a force technique than a sword skill. If it really reaches a certain unfathomable level, even a hammer or a Gatling gun can unleash ripple force.

However, now Levi can only use the power of ripples through this kind of sharp blade weapon.

He also discovered that this dagger could more easily withstand the torture of ripple force than his own sword Frostmourne.

"It's still a problem of the material. Frostmourne is just made of ordinary iron. Although the workmanship and quality are good, it is obviously not enough to use the power of ripples as you wish."

"It would be nice if I had those high-tech alloys from my past life."

"When I have the chance in the future, I will use better materials to forge a sword for myself."

After finishing the forging, Levi returned to the castle and began to build a secret room of his own in the castle.

…

In the early morning of the next day, Knight Fred and his team returned to the Black Snake Castle, exhausted.

Levi went out to greet him and asked with a smile, "How's the situation?"

"Master Li Wei, I have accomplished your mission."

After Knight Fred dismounted, he handed a bag to Levi.

Levi opened it and found a bottle of ambergris and a pile of gold coins.

"Thank you for your hard work Fred."

In this way, Levi finally put his mind at ease.

Come to think of it, as an official knight, it is unlikely that anything would happen to Knight Fred unless he took the initiative to cause trouble.

"Does the Jade Chamber of Commerce have ambergris in stock now?" Levi asked.

Knight Fred shook his head. "No, the people in the Chamber of Commerce said that ambergris has been out of stock for a long time. I asked around and found out the reason. The White Horse Knight and other royal family members practiced the Dragon Breathing Method, which also required ambergris as a secret medicine material. It was fine in the past, but because of the Millennium Holy War, the Tuva Empire, as the main source of ambergris, has banned the export of ambergris to the Emerald Kingdom. The number of earth dragon beasts in the Emerald Kingdom is pitifully small, almost extinct, causing ambergris to become increasingly scarce."

"If this goes on, we may only be able to get ambergris from the Tuva Empire in the future," said Knight Fred.

Levi frowned. He didn't expect that the war would affect him in this way.

"However, the existing ambergris is enough for me to use for a while, so I am not in a hurry. But I have to find a way to solve it. The Black Snake Secret Medicine is very helpful for practicing the Black Snake Breathing Method. It not only increases the speed of practice, but also can continuously strengthen my physical fitness. I can't stop taking the medicine."

Levi pondered.

"By the way, it seems that you have been promoted to an official knight, Master Levi." After returning to the meeting room, Knight Fred asked with a smile.

"That's right, Fred. Just a few days ago, I officially became a knight and condensed the seed of life."

Levi did not hide anything from Knight Fred. Knight Fred was someone he could trust. If he had any ulterior motives, his young self would have died countless times already.

"You have become a formal knight in three years. Your speed is not much slower than that of a genius like your father. If your father could see your current achievements, he would be so happy. What a pity..." Knight Fred sighed.

"It would be great if the master were still alive." He couldn't stop muttering.

After the master and servant felt sad.

Levi told Knight Fred about the assassination attempt that night.

Knight Fred first felt extremely guilty because he was not with Levi, which led to the assassination.

Then he held the bird-beak mask, looked solemn, and spoke slowly.

"This is a death sentence."

"Sue the dead bird?"

"Well, according to rumors, the Deathbird is a black divine bird standing on the shoulder of the god of death. Once the Deathbird cries, someone will die. It looks like a crow. There is an organization whose members will walk around the world in the form of the Deathbird. They accept huge commissions from others and assassinate anyone, whether it is a civilian, a noble, or even a royal family."

"This organization is extremely mysterious. Their presence can be seen in some major events in the history of the kingdom."

"This organization is called the Voice of the Death Bird. Rumor has it that the founder of this organization is a legendary knight."

"Who?"

"Thousand-Faced Knight, Nameless!"
