Soon, Sam and the others took Levi to see Fred's body, which was no longer recognizable as a human.
Judging from the clothes and weapons he was wearing, it was definitely Fred.
Levi suddenly felt a kind of speechless sadness.
He knew that he was destined to part with Fred.
But I didn't expect this day would come so early.
Fred's greatest wish is that Levi can take back Tulip Territory and Storm Territory and restore the glory of the Black Snake Family.
But Levi knew that this was difficult. It was not that it was difficult to take back the territory, but that it was difficult to keep the territory.
I am destined to embark on the path of a wizard. Before that, I may not have any offspring. Even if I do, the possibility of my descendants being able to defend the territory is still zero.
All mortals are mortal, and Levi cannot be trapped in these worldly cages of the territory forever.
To him, territory and money are just tools on the road to immortality.
Levi had thought of all this the moment he decided to become a wizard.
As Levi becomes stronger, his reliance on the territory will become less and less.
However, revenge must be taken.
What a wandering knight, it's just an excuse.
This kind of secretiveness is exactly what the Duke of Montenegro does. This great knight must be from Montenegro.
After experiencing three failed attempts at the Death Bird Sound, the great nobleman could no longer bear it and took action himself!
"Golden Cross Slash, I will practice step by step to the highest realm, use the supreme power of golden whirlwind, and inherit the name of Dawn Swordsman!"
After Levi's brief moment of sadness, he began to deal with the current situation.
He found the three brothers who were hidden by Sam and the others. Now the three brothers were covered with wounds. It was obvious that they had suffered serious injuries in the battle with the big knight. If it were not for the sacrifice of Fred and those cavalrymen and soldiers in the end, the three brothers might have died there.
Fred knew that the three brothers and the Red Blood Cavalry would be Levi's future trump cards, so he was determined to get the three brothers evacuated even at the risk of his life.
The three brothers are about to become adults, and their current strength is comparable to that of mid-level knights. If the three little guys join forces, even high-level knights will find it difficult to resist.
When they grow up a little more, the adult male bears will basically be as strong as high-level knights. With the giant bear armor made for them by Levi, the three brothers will join forces and they will be invincible under the big knight and Levi!
When the three brothers saw Levi, they were particularly affectionate and wanted to hug Levi regardless of their pain.
Levi let them rest and recover from their injuries, eat and drink well, and asked the veterinarian to buy the best veterinary medicine for their treatment.
With the three brothers' strong physiques, recovery is only a matter of time.
In addition to the three brothers, the main force of the Red Blood Cavalry was also saved.
There are still 32 Red Blood Cavalrymen in the territory now, and almost all other infantrymen have been killed. However, there are very few casualties among the people in the territory. It seems that the uninvited guest did not attack the people in the territory.
From the few survivors, Levi learned that the knight seemed to be in a hurry, as if he had encountered some kind of accident. They heard the knight shouting: "Damn woman, get off me!"
But the survivors saw no woman.
In short, not long after the great knight started killing people, he hurriedly left the Blackwater Valley.
Otherwise, a small baron like Levi would not be able to stop a great knight with full firepower.
"Woman, Blackwater River... is it this?"
"It's still in the Blackwater River!"
"That evil spirit!"
Levi was shocked and confused.
"Why can't these people see the evil spirits, but the original body and the great knight can see them? I can understand that the great knight can see them, after all, he is a great knight, and to some extent he is beyond the mundane world."
"When the original body was fishing, he was still a child, just an ordinary person."
"Water Nymph...what on earth is that?" Levi muttered to himself.
After being attacked by evil spirits, Levi specifically looked for many legends and books about evil spirits.
But when it comes to evil spirits like water nymphs, most legends and stories are vague and offer no solution.
And now, after Levi thought that the evil spirits had disappeared.
After so many years, the evil spirit appeared again in the Blackwater River.
The exorcism notebook that Levi obtained did not contain any introduction to evil spirits, or any illustrated guides.
The notes only said that these things were born in the human world after the return of the demonic tide.
Humanity’s greatest fear is the fear of the unknown and the fear of insufficient firepower.
"Pass the order down. From now on, no one is allowed to fish or play in the water in the Blackwater River. Unless for important matters such as irrigation, try not to go to the Blackwater River!" Levi said in a cold voice.
Now the evil spirits have appeared in the territory again, which makes Levi very nervous.
Levi at least understood the Great Knight. He knew that if he was killed, he would die, but he was still a human being.
But Levi knew nothing about evil spirits.
Although the descendants of the Winchester family disdain ordinary evil spirits.
But they are all experienced exorcists, and they all have family inheritance. They are very knowledgeable about evil spirits and know them inside and out.
He must have mastered the [Seal of Dragon's Might], a magical skill against evil spirits, or even some items to exorcise spirits.
Levi hasn't obtained the [Dust of Evil Spirit] yet.
So he was worried that he had no effective means of attacking the evil spirits.
Levi was not naive enough to think that the evil spirit drove away the knight for himself and it was just a coincidence.
"But the knight seems to have gained resistance to the water fairy. At least the knight managed to escape. This is good news."
"How did he escape? A strong physique or something else?"
Levi's original body died suddenly.
Suddenly, he thought of something.
Daddy once said, "Fight magic with magic."
If evil spirits are regarded as magical creatures or supernatural beings.
The closest thing to magic or the supernatural on that knight is... black energy!
"Oh right, black energy!"
"Perhaps, this is the key for me to fight against evil spirits!"
"I'm not even a great knight now. The quality of the black energy is not good enough. I can't fight the evil spirits head-on. I'd better avoid them for now."
"From what I can see now, the attack range of the water fairy is limited to the banks of the Blackwater River. As long as we don't go to the Blackwater River, we should be fine. Of course, this is just my guess."
"Good fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. It's hard to predict what's going on in this world."
Levi sighed, his arrival temporarily calmed people's hearts.
However, it will probably take some time for the territory to recover.
"Everyone should return to the territory and resume production. Sam, you should bury the dead cavalry brothers properly, give some compensation to their families, and train new soldiers as soon as possible."
"Milan, keep working on the forging. If you're short of manpower, let me know."
"Although we suffered heavy losses during the invasion of the Great Knights, as ordinary people, we were able to work together to kill those official knights. This shows that our usual training is still very effective."
"People will die if they are killed, and so will the Great Knight. As long as our territory is strong enough, if that person dares to come again, he will definitely not be able to return!"
Levi said that the top priority now was to resume production. After encountering the evil spirit, the great knight would most likely not return to Blackwater Valley.
Even if he comes back, Levi has nothing to fear with his current strength.
After equipping the Frost Giant Armor, Levi truly possessed the confidence and strength to fight against the Great Knight!
Especially since he has been promoted to a high-level knight, his strength has greatly increased.
If he wasn't seeking safety, he would now find a way to hunt down the big knight to vent his hatred.
However, after giving it some thought, he decided to digest the gains from the trip to the holy city, improve his strength, and then go after the big knight.
…
The year 1009 of the Holy Hui Calendar, the month of budding.
After a period of recovery, Blackwater Valley has basically resumed normal operations, and all industries are gradually recovering.
The serfs began to make preparations for spring plowing, and production at the mines and forges also resumed.
The territory is also constantly replenishing its population and recruiting new soldiers.
Everything is back on track.
Levi waited for a month, but the great knight never came back.
He didn't know when the enemy would attack next, but he was ready.
Now he has no shortage of money, and he gained a lot from his trip to the holy city.
After his final detailed calculations.
The journey to the holy city does not include gains such as ambergris and breathing techniques.
Just the wealth he obtained from the official's mansion and the Bloody Hand Gang, plus the gold coins he got from selling armor.
Finally converted into standard gold coins of the Emerald Kingdom, there were more than eight thousand in total.
He set aside 5,000 gold coins from the money to save for his own practice and for emergencies.
He used the rest of the money to continue investing manpower and material resources in forging and military affairs.
This month, he also recruited several formal blacksmiths to join his territory and continue construction.
And there is Levi's craftsman-level forging.
Making money is not a problem.
The top priority now is to convert the money earned into one's own strength and the strength of the territory.
Rely on your own strength as the main factor, supplemented by the strength of the territory.
Overall, Levi has to thank the evil water nymph.
If it weren't for it, the damage suffered by Levi's territory would be far from what it is now.
The territory was back in operation, and Levi's training for the past month was not delayed.
To him, the army was just an external object that played a supporting role.
The real strong confidence comes from your own strength.
Therefore, practice is always the first priority.
This month, Levi has made a lot of progress in his breathing techniques.
The first was the Blood Whale Breathing Technique he had acquired from Boss Blood Hand.
As a breathing method of excellent quality, Levi naturally took it very seriously.
The secret medicine needed by the blood whale requires the horn of the narwhal.
Narwhal is a powerful marine creature in the deep sea. Although Levi has never seen one, he has heard from the wandering poets who come to the seaside that during the breeding season every year, when the narwhal returns from the deep sea to the shallow sea to reproduce, people on the seaside will see the huge creature that is thirty meters long and weighs hundreds of tons.
Although these sea beasts are very powerful, they are very docile, and their horns are also good raw materials for carving.
So Levi didn't spend too much to get the artworks carved from narwhal horns from some collectors, and then made them into a secret medicine that would last for a long time.
And now, after Levi has been practicing for a month.
Levi not only mastered the Blood Whale Breathing Technique, but also advanced it to the third level.
According to the description of the breathing method inheritance diagram, after practicing the blood whale breathing method and advancing to the level of a knight, the blood whale seed that is born can greatly enhance the knight's endurance and stamina.
In addition, a new organ-like thing will be born in the body:
Whale sac.
