The admission ticket to the pub today is Snow Beer.

The Snow Knight is a legendary knight who rose in the north. It is said that when he was born, snowflakes were flying, the north wind was howling, and that season was the scorching moon.

No matter which era or nation, there is no shortage of legendary stories.

Levi drank the wine and entered the tavern.

He hadn't been here for a long time. Levi could capture all the actions and sounds of all kinds of people, such as breathing, talking, clapping the table, drinking, etc., through primary vibration perception.

At this moment, he felt as if he possessed the low-level spiritual consciousness in the fairy tale novels.

He straightened his clothes, sat alone at a table, drank a little wine, and listened to the troubadours in the tavern telling the legendary stories of legendary knights.

Levi felt emotional, thinking that maybe one day in the future, when he became a living legendary knight, it would be a unique experience to pass by this tavern and listen to the troubadour telling his own stories, true or false, in an exaggerated artistic way.

"I will be a legend, I will."

Levi sat in the tavern from dusk till early morning. He listened to the conversations of wandering knights and bounty hunters from all directions. He roughly understood the current situation from the drunken and rough mouths of those men.

The refugees he had seen freezing to death on the roadside were fleeing from further north.

Since the millennium, it seems that the whole world has entered a mini ice age. In short, it has been getting colder every year. The living environment in the far north, where people could barely survive in previous years, is becoming increasingly harsh. The summer time in the four seasons is getting shorter and shorter, and the winter time is getting longer and longer.

Not only the northern part of the Emerald Kingdom, but also the northern part of the neighboring Tuva Empire suffers from such a harsh climate.

However, neither the Emerald Kingdom nor the Tuva Empire is considered to be far to the north.

The region most affected by this unusually cold winter is the country located in the far north of the continent.

The Kingdom of Eternal Night, known as the "Land of Winter", is the master of the Far North.

This is a country that believes in the "Ice and Snow Goddess". Its ruler is the "Ice Queen" Elsa, who is said to be the "Daughter of God".

Many of these refugees fled from the Kingdom of Eternal Night.

If it were just severe cold, it wouldn't be a big deal.

After all, the people of the Kingdom of Eternal Night have lived in a freezing cold land for generations, and they can barely adapt to it.

The most terrifying thing is that some refugees claimed that they saw snow monsters or evil spirits in the blizzard. They brought blizzards more violent than ever before. The Ice and Snow Church called them "Snow Monsters".

If this kind of thing happened in the past, people would naturally not believe it. However, with the increasing frequency of "evil spirit" attacks in various places in recent years, even the Holy Light Church has begun to admit that some kind of "evil spirit" does exist in this world.

The church defines evil spirits as "minions of the devil". They are demons that were born out of the seven deadly sins of mankind in the mortal world, and they are caused by the fact that the people of the kingdom are not loyal enough in their faith in the loving Father in Heaven.

Therefore, the church has used this as an excuse in recent years to start large-scale construction in some remote places where there were no churches before, such as those where Levi's Blackwater Valley is located, and encouraged believers to believe in the Father more devoutly than before. Only the Father's holy light and the holy sword of the Knights of Light can subdue the evil spirits.

All in all, people nowadays basically believe the rumors about the snow demon.

Nowadays, people in Icewind City are in a panic. Some wealthy nobles have begun to migrate south. They want to go to Green Forest Province and the warm south. Some nobles are going completely south and plan to move their entire families to the Molten Kingdom that believes in the "Eternal Fire".

Levi listened to everything in the tavern, exhaled lightly, and said to himself in his heart: "This world is becoming more and more chaotic."

"Evil spirits, snow demons, the Wilderness Brotherhood, the voice of the death bird, ambitious nobles, the Emerald Kingship that exists in name only, and the open and covert struggles between the various divine powers..."

"Life is so damn hard." Levi thought of the frozen corpses on the road.

"However, the price of serfs is expected to drop significantly during this period, so we can buy more serfs back." Levi stood up. After sitting here for a whole night, he had already understood the situation in the outside world.

Finally, he posted the commission in a corner of the Shining Tavern.

"Commission content: Giant Breathing Method or other Breathing Method inheritance diagram."

"Commission fee: starting at 10 gold, negotiable. If interested, you can contact Mr. Geralt the White Wolf, the collector of Breathing Techniques, through the Shining Tavern."

Levi didn't have any hope of finding the giant's breathing method, but it always made sense to try.

Besides, even if there is no Giant Breathing Method, it would be great to be able to collect other breathing methods.

After walking out of the tavern, Levi's figure disappeared into the dark night. He walked into an empty alley. As he walked, his body shape began to change. In the end, Levi's body shape was completely different from before.

He put on the "White Wolf Mask" that he had forged himself, made of fine iron mixed with a little mithril.

This is modeled after the "death bird mask". It can prevent poison and also protect the face.

He also personally forged the "Frostmourne" 2.0 version, into which he melted a piece of mithril the size of a baby's fist. This piece of mithril alone cost Levi two hundred gold coins. Only such a top-grade weapon could withstand the ravages of the "Ripple Power" and give full play to the power of the Golden Cross!

He also forged a slightly inferior knight's sword for Fred, also incorporating mithril into it. Both father and son had suffered from poor weapons, and such a thing must never happen again!

Levi took out a small bottle containing a highly poisonous substance.

Frostmourne is smeared with "Tears of the Human-Faced Spider", and the same goes for the Black Snake Dagger.

Everything is ready, the killing time begins.

…

South of Icewind City, there is an abandoned castle. This nameless castle from hundreds of years ago has long been dilapidated and there are even rumors that evil spirits have appeared here.

Regardless of whether the evil spirits are real or not, this castle has long been uninhabited and no one would come to this eerie and spooky place.

Passing through the dim corridor, there is a different world inside. This is the secret base of the Death Bird Sound in Icewind City.

Inside the castle was a remodeled training ground. Young members of the Death Bird Organization who were found from Icewind City and surrounding areas and had the talent to practice Siren Breathing were practicing assassination techniques under the guidance of someone called "mentor".

Their faces were either numb or fanatical as they practiced and recited the contents of "Hymn to Shadows".

"Only those who put death and fear behind can become true assassins. What is an assassin? We walk in the shadows. We can see the real world that the fools cannot see. Light is only an illusion, a lie. Shadow and darkness are the true appearance of the universe."

"Only in this way can you become the shadow servants beside the Lord of Shadows after death and be immortal from then on."

A mentor was explaining the teachings of the Lord of Shadows to the members of the organization, and at the same time assigned assassination missions to some fledgling assassins. After finishing all this, he tied a written letter to the leg of a red-eyed crow. He had been ordered to investigate the whereabouts of Tieshan, the organization's gold medal assassin, but to no avail. He wanted to pass this news to Pale Shadow.

As far as the mentor knows, Tieshan was ordered to assassinate Baron Levi of Blackwater Valley, but there has been no news until now. People in the organization are not even sure whether Tieshan actually carried out the assassination. After all, Tieshan is a disciple of a big family and a gold medal assassin, and he has always done his own thing.

The mentor was more inclined to believe that Tieshan did not carry out the assassination mission, because he had sent people to investigate from a distance and found that everything was normal in the Black Water Valley, and there was no sign that the lord had died.

Moreover, the mentor believed that with Tieshan's own high-level knight realm and his mastery of two breathing techniques, it would be impossible for him to fail if he carried out the assassination.

If Tieshan failed, then the only ones who could succeed in the Sound of the Death Bird would be the Five Kage.

However, it has been many years since the Five Kage personally assassinated a junior.

The mentor released the crow in his hand and wanted to pass the investigation results here to the Pale Shadow.

The red-eyed crow just took off, accompanied by a burst of empty sound.

A feather arrow shot the crow's head, and a figure wearing a white wolf mask appeared at the end of the corridor, behind him were the bodies of the two gatekeepers.

The White Wolf has arrived, nothing is forbidden!
