Becoming a great knight at the age of twenty, in the eyes of others, is nothing but a fantasy and a daydream!

Even the Knight of the White Horse, who was hailed as a genius, became a great knight at the age of well over twenty.

But now Levi has a sufficient supply of ambergris and the Black Snake secret medicine. He estimates that at his current Black Snake breathing speed, he can reach the seventh level of Black Snake Breathing Technique in the second half of this year and become a top knight.

And the whole year of next year should be enough for me to master the Black Snake Breathing Technique to the eighth level and become a great knight!

Looking into the future and stretching his muscles, Levi walked out of the shelter.

The Demon Shark stood there quietly on standby, maintaining a low-power state, motionless.

Levi stood on the city wall and breathed the fresh air.

High in the sky above the territory, the snow-white Harris merged with the sky and flew freely.

In this case, generally nothing happens.

If something happened, Harris would scream to alert the police.

The three brothers' injuries from the great knight were completely healed.

Their size is getting bigger and bigger, like a rhinoceros, with an astonishing tonnage.

Their appetite is increasing day by day. If Levi was not a wealthy baron, an ordinary baron would definitely be eaten out of money by them.

Where Fred once trained soldiers, only Sam was there.

Sam had a good talent for breathing techniques, which made Fred very happy.

Unfortunately, even if Sam became an official knight in the future, Fred would never have the chance to see it.

With the continuous improvement of the forging industry, the Blackwater Valley now basically does not need any additional investment from Levi and can develop and grow on its own.

The battle with the Great Knight proved the powerful role of the Red Blood Cavalry. Together with the three brothers and infantry, the Red Blood Cavalry can also cause great trouble to the Great Knight. The current premise is to form an overwhelming advantage in numbers, so the army construction in the territory is still continuing.

The year 1009 of the Holy Era, the warm month.

In the past month, Levi continued to practice, practice sword skills, and occasionally do some blacksmithing and make medicine.

But in addition to this, he would also learn painting techniques and copy the paintings of masters in his busy schedule. Of course, he practiced copying not to please his sentiments, but because it would be very useful for his upcoming trip to Icewind City.

…

Icewind City, Silver Mountain Castle.

"Master Terra" wearing a golden mask strode to the front of Earl Silver Mountain's castle.

On the car behind him were three sets of mithril armor and mithril weapons forged during this period.

Levi finally reached a cooperation with Earl Silver Mountain. Earl Silver Mountain provided mithril and raw materials, and Levi forged mithril armor and mithril weapons for him. The quantity was three sets a month, which was the limit for a normal craftsman.

Of course, the truth is that Levi finished forging it in five days.

The Earl of Silver Mountain will provide a customization fee of 300 gold per set, and a total of 100 sets will be customized for a period of three years.

The customization fee of three hundred gold was after Levi gave a discount to Earl Yinshan. After all, it was a large-scale customized order, and all the materials were provided by Earl Yinshan. It would not be good to ask for too high a price.

In return for the preferential treatment provided by Levi, Earl Yinshan needs to give Levi the blood breathing method inheritance diagram in his collection for him to copy.

The reason Levi gave was that he no longer had any pursuit for forging. He was also a collector of breathing techniques and wanted to see more breathing technique inheritance diagrams so as to study the ancient mythological knowledge.

Levi naturally had no hope of getting the only authentic copy of the Breathing Method Inheritance Diagram. Earl Yinshan was a collector himself, so he would naturally not give it to Levi. He was not short of that little money either.

Therefore, Levi only hoped to obtain some "fakes" through copying to see if he could practice.

That’s right, this is why Levi has been practicing copying during this period.

Naturally, Earl Yinshan agreed. The purpose of many people collecting breathing techniques is actually to study some mystical knowledge, or simply to show off their taste and wealth.

As for selling these fake blood breathing methods for money? Only a fool would buy them!

The authentic Breathing Method Inheritance Diagrams have been handed down since ancient times, and their specific origins cannot be verified. Anyway, all the nobles claim that they were created by their family ancestors.

Especially that special ancient parchment, which is completely different from the parchment used by people of this era, otherwise it would not have been able to resist the erosion of time and be preserved to this day.

Therefore, it is easy to tell at a glance whether the Breathing Method Inheritance Diagram is authentic, and as for the Bloodline Breathing Method, except for the only authentic copy, other counterfeits have no collection value.

In the past, there were people who sold counterfeit copies of non-bloodline breathing methods for money, but few people bought them.

Because it is impossible to determine the authenticity and accuracy of a fake.

As for the breathing method, even a small change in it can be enough to cause serious consequences, because it is common for people who practice counterfeit techniques to go astray.

In Earl Yinshan's view, there is no difference between the Blood Breathing Method inheritance diagram in his collection and the paintings exhibited in the art gallery.

Just by giving Master Terra some fake copies of the Blood Breathing Technique, you can get real benefits and the master's favor. Why not do it?

The castle of Earl Silver Mountain is very magnificent. Although it is not as tall as the cathedral in Icewind City, it is the second tallest building in Icewind City.

His retainer knights were now awaiting Levi's arrival.

"Welcome, Master Terra. To celebrate our first cooperation, the Earl has prepared a sumptuous banquet for you." The retainer smiled.

"It's my pleasure."

Wait until Levi goes in.

The retainer asked the official blacksmiths under Earl Ginzan to inspect the goods.

"How is it? Did you not treat us perfunctorily?" asked the retainer.

These blacksmiths carefully observed the appearance, design, and texture of the armor forged by Levi, and stroked the cold metal.

Then he asked the others to compare and exchange ideas with the weapons and armor forged by ordinary blacksmiths and those made by Master Terra.

It also incorporates mithril and has the same material proportions.

However, after comparative experiments, these people were shocked to find that the armor and weapons made by Master Terra far surpassed those of the blacksmiths in terms of internal quality, appearance, and sophistication of design.

Originally, these official blacksmiths under Earl Silver Mountain were a little dissatisfied that the Earl did not look for them but for the outsider Master Terra, thinking that the Earl looked down on their level.

Now they were completely convinced that it was right for the Earl to look down on them.

He is indeed a legendary craftsman. His forging skills are simply amazing and ingenious!

"Is this the gap between us and the master? This is too big."

"Indeed, we cannot compare. The master's understanding and skills of forging are far superior to ours."

"I really want to ask the master for advice..."

Seeing this scene, the retainer showed a satisfied smile on his face.

…

The reception room of Silver Mountain Castle.

"Master, come and eat something." Earl Yinshan said, pointing to a table full of banquet.

"Your Excellency the Earl, that's not necessary. I had just eaten when I came here and I really can't eat any more." Levi said helplessly.

"Okay, then Master, follow me and I will show you the collection of my Yinshan." Earl Yinshan stood up and said with a smile.

Levi followed Earl Silver Mountain through a long corridor and finally arrived at a large round hall.

On the walls of this round hall, there are pictures of the breathing method inheritance displayed in exquisite frames, just like oil paintings hanging on the wall.

Levi was excited. He looked at the circle of breathing method inheritance diagram and felt that it was simply his paradise.

As if he could sense Levi's excitement, Earl Yinshan was quite proud. Being able to make a craftsman so excited, it seemed that his collection was quite good.

"Master, I, Yinshan, have been collecting breathing method inheritance diagrams until now. There are a total of 22 breathing method inheritance diagrams, all of which are here."

"I wonder how many pairs the master has collected?" Earl Yinshan asked with a smile, in a tone of communication with his peers.

"As for me, I only collected a few paintings. I just started in this business, so my collection is definitely not comparable to that of the Earl." Levi said helplessly.

"Damn it, if only I had a camera, I could take pictures of these inheritance diagrams one by one and take them back to practice. I wouldn't have to copy them at all." Li Wei was daydreaming for a moment.

The blood breathing method, which others regard as useless and can only be collected, is Levi's treasure.

Earl Yinshan smiled and said, "Master, these seventeen breathing techniques displayed outside are just superficial blood breathing techniques. They are not worth mentioning. I will show you something better."

Count Yinshan finally met a collector of breathing techniques who shared the same interest as himself. Wanting to show off, he brought Levi to the center of the hall and gently pressed a mechanism.

Then, a stone platform slowly rose up.

There are a total of five breathing method inheritance pictures above.

"Of these five Breathing Technique inheritance drawings, four are of excellent quality, and one is of perfect quality."

"They belong to the five great families that are no less than our Yinshan family in history."

"Time has passed, and the world has changed. Now these families have long disappeared in the dust of history." Earl Yinshan sighed.

Most of the nobles in this world attach great importance to family inheritance, and Levi's thoughts are among the minority.

Levi took a look at the perfect-level breathing method and saw a giant two-legged beast breathing out flames enjoying the worship of hundreds of little people.

Wow, there are more than a hundred little man patterns. Is this the breathing method of perfect quality? It is indeed extraordinary!

“This is the Red Lotus Breathing Technique, the best quality breathing technique in all my collections. It is the blood breathing technique of the Red Lotus family that perished six hundred years ago. Their family also gave birth to a great knight who was infinitely close to being a legend: the Red Lotus Knight.

It is a pity that the great knight only appeared for a brief moment and then disappeared. If the Crimson Lotus Knight successfully advanced to the legendary level, then this "Crimson Lotus Breathing Technique" would not be of perfect quality, but of legendary quality.

In other words, it was the legendary knight who achieved the legendary breathing method, not the breathing method that made the legendary knight. There is no essential difference between a breathing method of perfect quality and a breathing method of legendary quality.

Master Terra, what you may not know is that the blood breathing method of my Yinshan family is also... of perfect quality.

If one day I become a legend, then my Yinshan family will be a legendary family!

Therefore, I still sincerely invite you to join our Yinshan Castle. Only a legendary family can support such an outstanding legendary craftsman like you!

If you are willing to join me, I will give you one or two genuine breathing techniques from here."

The Silver Mountain Knight exudes a powerful aura, like a proud and confident silver beast!

Levi was slightly stunned. It seemed that this Knight of Silver Mountain was not a simple earl.

He didn't expect that the breathing method of the Yinshan family was actually at the perfect level. It was even more advanced than the breathing method of his own Black Snake family.

Among the Seven Knights of the North, as far as Levi knows, only the breathing method of the Duke of Black Mountain's family is the perfect breathing method.

Now, it seems that there will be one more Earl of Silver Mountain.

"My Lord Earl, I appreciate your kindness. Although I am just a craftsman, I don't like to depend on others. I have always believed that it is heroes who create families, not families that create heroes." Levi said.

This made Earl Yinshan slightly stunned, and then he smiled and said: "Well, it seems that the master is not interested in this, so I won't force it."

Earl Yinshan put the display stand containing the five breathing techniques back down.

The deal between him and Levi was just to let Levi copy those crude quality blood breathing method inheritance diagrams out there, not including these five.

"The Earl's collection is so rich that it may take me a long time to copy it all." Levi exclaimed sincerely.

"Although these breathing techniques are useless, I have indeed spent a lot of effort to collect them. As long as you don't damage my original works, please feel free to copy them. If you are hungry, I will ask my servants to bring you food. If you are sleepy, there are also plenty of rooms in the castle for you to sleep."

Earl Yinshan said politely.

"Thank you very much, Lord Earl."

Accompanied by the Knight of Silver Mountain, Levi watched seventeen other breathing techniques. Most of them were strength and speed breathing techniques, and a small part were physical and defensive ones.

However, there is no perception-type breathing method like the human-faced spider breathing method.

This shows the specialness of the human-faced spider's breathing method.

After reading it, Levi took out the drawing board, parchment, pen and ink that he had prepared in advance.

He sat on the ground and began to copy and paint under the gaze of the Silver Mountain Knight.

At the beginning, Levi wanted to find a random painter in Icewind City.

It was not until he witnessed the level of the painter that he decided to do it himself in order to avoid going astray from practicing the fake breathing method.

He naturally had the confidence to do this himself.

With a thought, the proficiency panel appeared in Levi's mind.

In addition to the three life skills of forging, medicine making, and animal taming, there is a new life skill:

Copy: Second order (1/5000)

Before, Levi practiced copying skills at home and had already mastered this skill to the second level.
