After deciding to go to the Tuva Empire, Levi began to prepare.

Although the Tuva Empire is a neighboring country, it is still thousands of miles away from the Emerald Kingdom.

Finding a guide who speaks Tuvan is one thing.

In addition, Levi naturally also needs to learn more about the customs and habits of the Tuva Empire.

There are also necessary poisons, healing medicines, spellcasting materials, food supplies, etc., which all require time to prepare.

Just as Levi was preparing to travel, at the northernmost tip of the North, Black Mountain City.

A huge city even more majestic than Icewind City, with a permanent population of nearly half a million.

The owner of this city is the oldest of the Seven Knights of the North and possibly the strongest Black Mountain Knight at present.

Black Mountain Castle is located in the center of the city. The castle is towering and majestic, even more majestic than the Holy Light Church outside the city. In Icewind City, the most majestic building is the church.

The army in Black Snake Castle is on high alert, with the Black Whale Guard patrolling there. In Black Mountain City, there is an army stationed there led by the Duke of Black Mountain himself.

Since the founding of the Emerald Kingdom, there have been many dukes appointed, but most of them declined with the evolution of history. It is naturally not easy for the Black Mountain Family to have been passed down to this day.

The Duke of Montenegro is a middle-aged man who looks elegant and easy-going. He is tall, slender, and strong, but he does not look reckless. Instead, he looks very elegant and bookish.

He was looking at a map in his bedroom. It was a map of the Emerald Kingdom, on which were marked many territories of varying sizes, including the Storm Territory of the Blue Sea Province and the Tulip Territory of the Green Forest Province.

"Father, I'm back." A tall, beautiful, and elegant young lady dressed in aristocratic hunting suit got off her horse outside the door. She was the youngest daughter of the Duke of Montenegro, now she should be Lady Edward, and her husband was the famous Knight on the White Horse.

"Why are you back?" The Duke of Montenegro put away the map, opened the door, looked at his little daughter outside, and asked with a frown.

"I miss you and want to come back to see you. Is that not possible?" said the little daughter.

"Where is Edward? What is he busy with recently?" The Duke of Montenegro asked casually.

"Don't say that. I can't see him all day. When I asked him to go out with me, he always used the excuse of practicing breathing techniques to stall me. It's not a good thing to marry a prince charming, especially when he is just a little prince, a wooden lump who can do nothing except practicing. He is obviously very powerful, but he is excluded by his scheming brothers and sisters all day long." The little daughter complained.

The Duke of Montenegro did not say anything. He noticed the knight's long sword that his little daughter was carrying and asked, "This sword is nice."

The little girl giggled and said, "Father, this is my birthday present for you. It is a long sword made by the legendary craftsman Master Golden Hammer Terra: Lake Light! My knight bought it from another collector at a high price."

The Duke of Montenegro took the sword from his little daughter, took a look at it, and said, "It's really good. It looks like it was made by a master. Interesting, has a master craftsman finally appeared in this world? I've never heard of a golden war hammer..."

He put away his sword, and then took out a small golden box from his bedroom. The box was engraved with beautiful patterns, and there was a beautiful noble lady wandering in a wonderland of flowers. It was magnificent.

The Duke of Montenegro said to his little daughter, "This is a potion I got from a top pharmaceutical master, called the Holy Spirit Potion. In order to prevent the efficacy of the medicine from evaporating, it can only be sealed with gold. You must personally deliver this box of potion to Edward, and Edward must open it personally when he is practicing alone. Do not open it privately!

Remember, the things in here may help him break through the legend. Of course, I dare not guarantee it. I can only say that you can give it a try and tell Edward not to have too high expectations. In short, there will be no life-threatening danger in trying it. After all, even with Edward's talent, it is extremely difficult to break through the legend without relying on external objects.

But no matter what, the things in here are extremely precious. I am old, my energy and blood are declining, and I am no longer at my peak. I have no hope of breaking through to the legendary level. I can only place my hope on a good son-in-law like Edward. If he succeeds in breaking through to the legendary level, it will be a great thing for you and our Black Mountain Family."

"Okay, father, I'll bring it to him." The little daughter accepted it without thinking too much.

After exchanging pleasantries with her father, the younger daughter left the mansion.

The Duke of Montenegro smiled. He believed that Edward would be "surprised" after opening the golden box.

Then he took out the long sword Hu Guang.

A trace of black air was injected into the long sword, and the long sword made a buzzing sound!

"It is indeed a good sword. Such a forger must belong to me!"

Thinking of this, the Duke of Montenegro called one of his knights.

The extremely heavy plate armor, the exaggerated serrated heavy sword, the dull iron helmet, and the single eye under the helmet, all show his powerful aura.

"Sharktooth Knight, you are leading the team to Icewind City this time. I only want you to do three things!" Black Mountain Knight said without question.

"Please speak, sir." Shark Tooth said respectfully with his head lowered.

“First, find the whereabouts of Knight Horton. Even if the journey is long, he should have completed the task I asked him to do and returned. However, he has not returned yet. Either he has rebelled or he has met with death. No matter what the situation is, I want to see him alive or dead.

Second, please help me invite the craftsman Golden Warhammer Terra who suddenly appeared in Icewind City recently back to Black Mountain City. You must invite him back before other lords. A legendary craftsman is a huge signboard, which is very useful for my future plans. If he refuses, then force him back. Don't hurt his hands and feet. I have my own way to make him work for me.

Third, you can stop by Blackwater Valley to visit Baron Levi, the offspring of my old friend. He has given me many surprises in the past period of time. I really want to know what happened to this child. If he is dead, then forget it.

Finally, for this operation, don’t bring any of our people except you, just go outside and find some mercenaries.”

The Duke of Montenegro said.

"Okay, sir, I will not fail you!"

After Sharktooth finished speaking, he turned around and left to prepare for a long journey.

The Shark Tooth Knight was promoted to Grand Knight last year. He is the secret trump card of the Duke of Black Mountain and has never been shown to anyone for many years!

The Duke of Montenegro is most at ease with him because he can do it safely and secretly.

As for the sound of the dead bird? Now the Duke of Montenegro finally understood.

This organization, since the death of the Thousand-Faced Knight, has become nothing more than a mob!

Many years ago, the Pale Shadow invited him to become a shadow-level assassin, but he refused. He was the Duke of Montenegro and had no time to play the killer game.

After doing all this, two small golden balls appeared in Heishan's palms, and he kept playing with them.

He remembered the "big gift" he had given to Edward.

I couldn't help but smile: "Who else in this world, except me, would have thought that this tempting gold would contain the legendary terrifying evil spirit?"

Some time ago, several miners of the Duke of Montenegro found an ancient tomb while mining in the territory. They also found a box of gold products in the tomb. They were of various shapes. The Duke of Montenegro learned from the warnings left by the tomb owner that evil spirits were sealed in these gold products!

These evil spirits are strong and weak. The weak ones are at the level of great knights, and the strongest evil spirit king is even better than a legendary knight.

The strongest evil spirit among them was given by the Duke of Montenegro to the Knight of the White Horse:

"Dream Fairy Alice!".

According to the records of the tomb owner, this evil spirit had caused chaos many times in history, and it had destroyed several noble families.

As long as the White Horse Knight opens it, even if the White Horse Knight is fine, it will definitely cause a huge chaos in the royal city.

…

Over in Icewind City, after nearly half a month of preparation, Levi was also ready for a long journey.

He first found a place to hide the pyroxene he bought and only took a small piece with him. It was too inconvenient to carry such a large piece of pyroxene on this long journey.

With the help of the Shining Tavern, Levi contacted a wandering merchant who frequently traveled between the Tuva Empire and the Emerald Kingdom.

This merchant himself was also a wandering knight, similar to Graf before him, doing some work as a profiteer.

However, his main business was not ambergris. Levi spent 20 gold coins to hire this knight as his guide.

Now, they were riding horses and heading towards the Tuva Empire with sufficient supplies.

Levi also informed Fred in advance before leaving home this time, so he was not worried that Fred would worry about him at home.

The wandering merchant is called Doug, nicknamed: Wild Dog Rider.

This seemingly vulgar nickname is normal in the world of wandering knights.

"Sir White Wolf, when we get to the Tuva Empire, we should try not to clash with the people there. The Tuva people are tough and brave, so try not to provoke them."

Wild Dog Knight said that Levi was his big customer.

Levi has now put on the White Wolf mask again. After all, the Golden Hammer Terra's vest is now quite famous, especially in the Ice Wind Territory.

There might be some malicious people who want to harm you, so you still have to be careful.

"Don't worry, I know what to do. Just lead the way," said Levi.

Along the way, Levi and his companions traveled during the day and found places to rest at night. Levi would hide in a safe place to practice breathing techniques. Since the Black Snake Breathing Technique and the Vortex Beast Breathing Technique did not have secret medicines, the practice was not efficient. Levi prioritized practicing the Giant Rhino, Wild Bull, and Human-faced Spider Breathing Techniques.

Less than half a month later, Levi and his team arrived in the territory of the Tuva Empire.

A month later, at the end of the month of wheat fields, they finally arrived at Kara, a city on the border of the Tuva Empire.

However, after some inquiries from Guide Levito, he found out that there was currently no ambergris in the city of Kara. If one wanted ambergris, one had to go to the holy city of Atlantis by the sea.

That is the capital of the Tuva Empire and the richest place. Not to mention ambergris, it is possible to see even more precious things.

This aroused Levi's interest, and they traveled for another half a month. At the end of the harvest month, they finally arrived at Atlantis, the holy city of the Tuva Empire.

"Alas, it's really inconvenient to travel in this different world."

While on the road, Levi's Barbarian Bull Breathing Technique was almost at the fourth level, the progress bar of the Giant Rhino Breathing Technique was mostly gone, and the Human Faced Spider Breathing Technique was getting closer and closer to the fifth level.

A new batch of extreme breathing methods will be released soon, which makes Levi very pleased.

"But overall, it still delayed a lot of things. No matter what, I have to bring back more ambergris this time, otherwise I will lose a lot of money."

Before long, Levi and the Wild Dog Knights arrived outside the gate of the Holy City.

Looking at the magnificent city before him, the Wild Dog Knight exclaimed in admiration.

"The holy city by the sea is so magnificent. Every time I look at this huge city, I feel how small I am."

Levi didn't feel anything, as there were many cities bigger than the Holy City in his previous life.

As the largest city in the Tuva Empire, the Holy City has a permanent population of an astonishing two million.

However, the holy city is divided into three districts, namely the outer city, the middle city, and the inner city. The vast majority of the holy city residents live in the outer city, which is as crowded as a slum and full of all kinds of people. The middle city is where the small nobles and wealthy businessmen of the Tuva Empire live, and the inner city is where senior officials and the royal family live.

Levi and his friends didn't have passes, but this Wild Dog Knight was indeed powerful and found a way to let them enter the city.

It was a circus that was going to take part in the 300th anniversary ceremony of the Holy City. The leader of the circus was a fat nobleman. The Wild Dog Knight took out a few Tuvan gold coins and successfully bribed the leader. Levi and his friends came to the team behind the circus. There were some beautiful ladies wearing revealing and gorgeous clothes and smoking tobacco. They were all circus staff.

The circus was already very familiar with this sort of thing, bringing people into the city.

"Put on your makeup and don't talk later." A blonde lady with oil paint on her face said to Levi. She was sitting on a cage containing a ferocious beast. Inside was a huge scorpion-tailed tiger. When this kind of beast grows up, it is as difficult to deal with as a formal knight. Although it is not a match for the giant bear of the north, it is almost as strong as a low-level knight.

This scorpion-tailed tiger is the signature and treasure chest of their circus.

This blonde lady is the tamer of the manticore.

Levi took the oil paint and smeared it on his face.

He is also a tamer and has a special effect of wild heart. He can feel the hostility of the scorpion-tailed tiger towards him.

When the scorpion-tailed tiger saw a stranger like Levi, it immediately became alert, baring its teeth at Levi and pointing its scorpion-like tail at Levi.

The blonde lady did not stop it and seemed to be watching it all with interest. After all, the scorpion-tailed tiger was in a cage and nothing dangerous would happen.

When Levi saw that a beast was actually aggressive towards him, he did not move, but just clenched his fists, making a creaking sound, and stared at the scorpion-tailed tiger fiercely.

The beast looked at Levi with sharp eyes. It saw that Levi's pupil turned into a vertical slit at that moment, and he was staring at it like a poisonous snake, emitting a chilling cold air.

On Levi's chest, a black snake was coiled and dancing wildly, and the sirens, giant bears, and human-faced spiders below were dancing wildly with arrogance. These ferocious beasts in the legend seemed to come alive.

"Hmm..." The scorpion-tailed tiger suddenly became cowardly. It lay down in the cage, huddled in a corner, and shivered.

"Miss, take care of your little kitty." Levi said calmly.

The blonde lady suddenly found that her scorpion-tailed tiger seemed to be wilted and actually afraid.

"Is it afraid of this person?" She looked suspiciously at the burly young boy who didn't look very old.

Although she is not a knight, but she can make a beast comparable to a knight so afraid. Then, isn't this young man a very powerful knight?

Suddenly, that playful mentality disappeared, and along the way, she didn't even dare to look Levi in ​​the eye.

After successfully sneaking into the city with the circus, Levi discovered that there were many soldiers patrolling the outer city, apparently preparing for the 300th anniversary celebration in a month.

"What a coincidence! We just happened to arrive at the busiest time in the Holy City." The Wild Dog Knight looked happy.

However, Levi knew the purpose of this trip. Ambergris was a must. In addition, he also had to collect as many breathing techniques, turbellarian eggs, and evil spirit dust as possible. The more the better.

After parting with the circus, Wild Dog Knight took Levi directly to the largest Chamber of Commerce in the Holy City.

"Excuse me, do you have any ambergris?" asked the Wild Dog Knight.

The staff of the Chamber of Commerce nodded and said, "Yes, one bottle is 100 Tuva coins. There are five bottles left. How many do you need?"

Levi frowned. The price was okay. Converted into the standard gold coins of the Jade Kingdom, it was about 200 gold coins per bottle. It was much cheaper than in the kingdom. The price in the kingdom was raised to 300 gold coins, and it was still completely out of stock.

It’s just that the quantity is only five bottles…it’s not enough.

It’s not easy to come here by yourself, and it would be a big loss to just take five bottles.

"I want them all. Is there any more trouble?" Levi asked the Wild Dog Knight.

"If you want more in the short term, you'll have to wait a month. A traditional beast fighting performance will be held at the Holy City Ceremony in a month. At that time, the Holy City's patron saint [Imperial Fist] will perform a bare-handed killing of an earth dragon beast in the Colosseum. After that, a batch of ambergris will be delivered to our Chamber of Commerce for consignment."
