On the way home, Levi kept thinking.

Why did an assassin come to assassinate me just after I left Blackwater Valley? Why was I recognized even though I was wearing a mask after entering the city?

Thinking back to the previous assassin, he also assassinated himself when Knight Fred left the territory.

These two things cannot be coincidences.

There is only one possibility, there is a traitor in Blackwater Valley!

There is a traitor who has been snitching to the Deathbird Voice or other people who want to erase him.

Levi's face was gloomy. The Blackwater Valley was not big, and it was not difficult to find the traitor. He already had a plan in mind.

After returning to Blackwater Valley, Levi first hid all the gold coins in the small treasury of his shelter. Except for some for the daily expenses of maintaining the castle, he had already figured out how to spend the rest.

When Knight Fred saw Levi coming safely, he finally felt relieved.

"Master, you've been gone for a month this time. I was so worried about you," said Knight Fred.

"Fred, I gained a lot from this trip. Next, I will practice my breathing technique well. I have something here. Could you please help me deal with it in the next few days?" Levi said.

"no problem."

…

The year 1007 of the Holy Hui Calendar, the month of green grass.

There was a rumor that Edward, the rising star of the Emerald Royal Family, a legend in the entire Emerald Kingdom, and the White Knight who was known as the number one under the Legendary Knight, failed to break through the realm of the Legendary Knight. The truth of this news was unknown. Afterwards, the royal family claimed that it was a rumor and that the White Knight was still on the road to pursuing the legend, and the final result was not yet known.

If the Knight on the White Horse could become a legendary knight, he would probably be the first legend born after the millennium.

The status of the Emerald Royal Family will also rise. A legendary knight will be enough to intimidate many ambitious and covetous nobles and underground forces.

Over in Icewind City, the church's investigation results on the fire that occurred more than a month ago came out. Someone must have murdered Knight Bernard and set fire to his mansion. The church found the unburned remains of Knight Bernard in the ashes of the fireplace in Bernard's mansion. The church strongly condemned this act of murder and arson.

For a time, people in Icewind City were in panic. Knight Bernard was humorous, thrifty, but he died at the hands of an unknown outlaw. Where was the conscience of the outlaw?

On the other hand, Knight Bernard, a real knight, and a mid-level knight at that, the best among the knights, is no match for the madman. Then in the entire Icewind City, except for the great knight Earl Silver Mountain and a few high-level and peak knights, who dares to guarantee that they can survive against such an outlaw madman?

Earl Silver Mountain was furious, thinking that this was a provocation against him by the thugs. He dispatched his Silver Fang Guards to patrol Icewind City around the clock, vowing to fight the forces of darkness to the end!

Meanwhile, back in the Blackwater Valley, the culprit who murdered Knight Bernard, the outlaw Baron Levi, was preparing a secret medicine in the shelter. After a period of preparation, he had already prepared all thirteen bottles of ambergris into the secret medicine. The next step was to take the medicine while gaining experience.

"The soldier disguised as me has left Blackwater Valley. Now we'll see who will take the bait."

Levi stayed in the shelter and talked to himself.

After returning to the Black Snake Castle, Levi rarely showed up in public. He always felt that there was a traitor in the castle.

So he wanted to do an experiment tonight. During the day, he asked a soldier who was closest to his size and appearance to pretend to be him, wear his clothes, ride his own horse out of Blackwater Valley, and claim that he was going to Icewind City to visit a friend.

Blackwater Valley is a very small place. If there really is a traitor, he will definitely sneak out of Blackwater Valley to report the news when no one is paying attention. After all, there are no mobile phones in this world, so messages can only be delivered in person. Levi wants to see who will leave the valley tonight.

Levi didn't know whether this method would work, so he could only give it a try, and if it didn't work, he would think of other ways.

Inside the shelter, Levi was practicing while waiting for news.

Because I was away for the past month, my practice of breathing techniques was delayed a bit, but now that I have the secret medicine, I will be able to catch up soon.

After taking the secret medicine, he practiced the Black Snake Breathing Technique.

The proficiency of Black Snake Breathing Technique directly increased by 20 points.

As his realm improved, the efficiency of his breathing practice increased significantly, and Levi's appetite also increased.

Unlike Knight Fred, Levi's breathing method is in a period of rapid improvement. After all, Knight Fred is old and has begun to decline. His energy and blood are beginning to fail, and his demand for food is much smaller.

Levi is different. He is in his rising period, and his energy and blood are constantly expanding. However, after Levi was promoted to a formal knight, his digestion and utilization rate of food was several times that of the quasi-knight stage.

Even though he eats more now than when he was in the quasi-knight stage, he only defecates once or twice a day. Most of the substances and nutrients in the food are efficiently absorbed by the life seed and used to catalyze the black energy and enhance physical fitness.

Although Levi has not yet advanced to the intermediate knight, he can feel that as his proficiency increases, the amount of black air in his body is also slowly increasing. This is a process of continuous quantitative change, and the key nodes of qualitative change are the nodes of each realm.

After practicing the Black Snake Breathing Method, Levi began to practice the Siren Breathing Method. This breathing method does not require any secret medicine, all you need to do is strengthen your liver.

Li Wei has been practicing the Siren Breathing Technique for not long, just a few months. Now this breathing technique has reached the second level, and the proficiency progress bar has also gone through most of the way. Levi estimates that he can reach the third level next month.

The more he practiced breathing techniques, the more Levi could feel that these breathing techniques, whether speed or power, seemed to have their own merits, but in fact they were similar in general.

Sometimes, Levi even felt that all breathing methods might have the same origin.

In short, Levi estimated that according to this trend, the higher his realm would be in the future, and the more extreme breathing methods he would master, the faster he would be able to practice a breathing method from entry level to extreme level. It would not be impossible to master a breathing method from entry level to extreme level in just one month.

Not long after practicing the Siren Breathing Technique, he heard faint noise and the roars of the three brothers coming from the castle. Levi's heart moved. It seemed that Knight Fred and the others had taken action, so he got up and left.

On a path outside the castle, three brothers surrounded a man and glared at him fiercely.

Not long after, Levi and Knight Fred also rushed over. The soldier was surrounded and looked panicked.

"Lord? You're back?"
