However, despite the surprise, it is obviously not advisable to stay here for long.

Levi found more than a dozen gold coins on another man with a ghost face mask. He was a poor guy and must be a wandering knight.

As a mid-level knight, it's shameful to carry so little cash on you!

In the end, Levi earned more than 400 gold coins.

"A horse cannot grow fat without night grass, and a man cannot become rich without outside money!"

Levi only now realized that forging and farming were really nothing compared to robbery!

"Don't get carried away. There have been too many robberies. Sooner or later, you'll get into trouble. It's better to be honest and do your job well."

These people's weapons and equipment could not be wasted, so Levi tied them all up and carried them on his back.

"I didn't want to do it myself, but since you are the Duke of Montenegro's man, there is no need." Levi muttered to himself.

Riding on the middle-aged noble's horse, he headed towards the stronghold of the Death Bird Sound.

He quietly sneaked into the stronghold and found it had been abandoned.

Now there is no one inside and it is very eerie.

"I don't know what Deathbird's Voice is going to do next. Is he going to send out a great knight? A Five Kage-level assassin to assassinate me?"

Levi didn't know this, he took advantage of the night and rode away from Icewind City.

The gains from this trip far exceeded my expectations. I originally just thought I could buy a breathing method, but I ended up getting an unexpected surprise.

Compared with this unexpected surprise, neither the Giant Rhino Breathing Technique nor the Barbarian Bull Breathing Technique is worth mentioning.

…

After returning safely to Blackwater Valley, Levi threw the weapons and equipment to the forging department. He couldn't wait to take out the "Exorcism Notebook" in the shelter and began to study it. The handwriting on the ancient notebook was overwhelming.

"While the world lives under the 'holy light' of the loving Father of Heaven and enjoys the protection of God, our family is engaged in an endless and protracted struggle in the shadows against those terrifying beings that people regard as nothing more than legends. It has never stopped.

Since the first year of Shenghui, the demonic tide that once left has gradually returned. Unfortunately, only our four major families know the truth about this matter. The ancestors of our four major families once advised the church to make the truth public and beg the gods to let those people return to fight against the impending demonic tide. However, the church regarded our ancestors as the "descendants of fallen wizards" who deceived people and created panic. From then on, we could only live in darkness.

But I know that one day, when the surging demon tide sweeps across this continent, when the multiverse overlaps and intersects with the world we live in, the terrifying existence from other planes that the church fears and the gods are afraid of will make a comeback. Truth cannot be hidden, and the world has the right to know the truth. The church cannot hide this truth forever! When more and more people find that the evil spirits are around them, the church will regret its previous actions.

The one who can save all this is not the gods trapped in the astral world, nor the church that does nothing but pursues fame and fortune.

Rather, they were the group of people who, under pressure from the gods, exiled themselves to the 'Land of the Faithless' before the first year of Shenghui!

wizard!

I, Mann Winchester, the last exorcist of the Winchester family, and my good friend Dean Constantine, the last exorcist of the Constantine family, were unfortunately trapped here when we joined forces to kill a demonic creature from another dimension. My good friend has passed away, and I also know that my time is running out.

Before we set out, our bloodline descendants were still in their infancy. I inherited my old friend's last wish and passed on the lifelong practice and insights of the four great seals, the 'Seal of Flame' and 'Seal of Hell' of the Constantine family and the 'Seal of Protection' and 'Seal of Dragon's Might' of our Winchester family.

If you are lucky enough to pick it up, please give it to anyone with the surname Winchester and Constantine, and you may receive a gift of wealth beyond your imagination. Otherwise, this thing is just a piece of waste paper to you, remember!

——Mann Winchester, 864th year of the Holy Era, the warm moon.

…

Levi quietly read the contents of the notebook word by word.

This small piece of parchment contains a huge amount of information.

"First of all, this doesn't seem to be the wizard inheritance I imagined, but the inheritance of some wizards' bloodline descendants. What is recorded here is not a spell, but a seal, a kind of spell-like ability that can be activated by relying on the blood of the descendants and spellcasting materials, without the need to construct a spell model through meditation. It is almost a castrated version of the spell, and it can't even be considered a trick. However, from the description of the owner of this notebook, if the seal is cultivated to the highest level, the power will be stronger than a trick, and not weaker than an ordinary formal spell.

Secondly, the owner of this note mentioned that since a thousand years ago, the mysterious force called "Demon Tide" has begun to revive on this continent, but the revival process is extremely long, and creatures like evil spirits are deformed beings born in the world by the "return of the demon tide", and this is just a precursor to the return of the demon tide. Evil spirits are the weakest creatures of the demon tide. The truly terrifying ones are those terrifying beings that come directly from other planes when the planes meet. There are some of these terrifying beings from other planes that can fight against the gods of the star realm.

Gods should also exist, but they exist in a magical place called the Astral World, a chaotic place formed by the projection of pure spiritual power. The gods live forever in the Astral World, and are immortal because of the Astral World, but they are also imprisoned by the Astral World and cannot descend into the real world. They can only temporarily send down a little bit of divine power through bridges built by believers in the human world, such as organizations like the Church, to interfere with the real world. The carriers of the divine power of the gods in the human world are also called: saints!

Finally, wizards do exist, but they disappeared long before historical records, and went to a place called the [Realm of Faithless]. From the description of the owner of this codex, it is a place that the power of the astral gods cannot penetrate.

This place is a subspace independent of the world we live in. It is a wizard's paradise and utopia. It may be right next to us, but we cannot see it with our mortal eyes.

Its entrance may be an unknown street, an unmanned cabin in the woods, an abandoned wardrobe, a cave at the bottom of a lake, an ancient mirror, or even a fairy tale book. Some things that seem ordinary to mortals may become the real medium of the subspace entrance, and if you want to enter such a place, you need a formal wizard as a guide. "

"The four great exorcist families, the Winchester family, the Constantine family, the Van Helsing family, and the Duncan family, are the blood descendants of four powerful wizards in the mortal world. They are responsible for clearing out some demonic things such as evil spirits in the mortal world. They are also responsible for finding some mortals with wizard qualifications in the mortal world and contacting the official wizards in the Land of No Believers to take them away."

"Unfortunately, the 'Monster Killer' Duncan family and the 'Vampire Killer' Van Helsing family completely disappeared five hundred years ago and have never been heard from again. As for the 'Exorcist' Winchester family and the 'Exorcist' Constantine family, I don't know if they still have any descendants."

Levi muttered to himself that the way forward was now clearer.

It is basically impossible to go directly to those elusive wizards, such as the witch Gullveig and Ms. Rowling.

The only ones that are relatively easy to find are the descendants of these four great families.

The last heirs of the Winchester family and the Constantine family appeared more than a hundred years ago. Levi felt that the possibility of their descendants still surviving was quite high.

Finally, after determining my direction.

Levi was in a good mood. He focused his attention on the practice methods of the four seals recorded on the note.

"Since the proficiency panel allows you to ignore the Knight's blood curse and learn the blood breathing method, then there should be no problem in practicing this seal."
