Although Blackwater Valley is poor, it was also the territory directly granted to Levi's ancestors by the Emerald King two hundred years ago.

Therefore, it is not under the jurisdiction of the Duke of Montenegro or his vassals.

Levi naturally didn't need to send troops to support the Duke of Montenegro, and it was impossible for him to support his enemies.

But he finally understood why the Duke of Montenegro had no reaction even after the Demon Shark had been missing for so long.

The Duke of Montenegro is a big shot, and he is busy trying to become the king. How could he care about a small character like me?

Levi was actually a little disappointed, the kind of disappointment that came from not being taken seriously by his enemies.

Of course, he was more thankful, because in this way, the chaos could give him more opportunities to breathe.

"Fight, fight, fight everyone, just don't disturb my practice." Levi thought.

With the current military strength of Blackwater Valley, as long as there is no large army approaching, it can basically protect itself.

In the cavalry training ground in the basin deep in the Black Mountain Range, there is a team of a hundred elite Red Blood Cavalry. These are the trump cards and elite of the Blackwater Valley, and the core combat power of the Blackwater Valley.

On the surface of the Black Snake Fort, there are one hundred full-time soldiers and two hundred militiamen, who are mainly used to cooperate with the Red Blood Cavalry and confuse potential enemies.

Because of these wars, a large number of refugees flowed into the serf market.

Levi took the opportunity to greatly expand the population of the territory, reclaim wasteland, increase agricultural production, and strengthen the forging industry.

Now, even if there is an enemy invasion, we will be able to protect ourselves.

So Levi is not very worried about the territory.

At worst, I can just run away and be done with it.

With my strength close to that of a great knight, I can go anywhere I want.

Now, Levi is simply too lazy to move because he has become accustomed to the comfort of this territory.

The transaction between Master Terra's vest and Earl Silver Mountain is still proceeding normally.

Earl Silver Mountain did not participate in the expedition of the Black Mountain army. He thought that the Duke of Black Mountain was just like him, worrying about the impending snow monster disaster every day. Until the Duke of Black Mountain suddenly played such a trick, he realized that he and other northern nobles were just fools being used by the Duke of Black Mountain.

The Duke of Montenegro doesn't care whether it is a snow demon or not. His goal is to emulate the Tuva Empire next door and use his own iron cavalry and iron fist to establish an unparalleled Montenegro Empire and replace the Emerald Kingdom!

The Bloody Earl of Green Forest Province and the Silver Veil Earl of Blue Sea Province are both pawns used by the Duke of Black Mountain to control the South!

In addition, many nobles across the country were instigated by Montenegro and joined the rebel camp.

The Duke of Montenegro has been planning this day for a long time.

In the end, Earl Yinshan could only pin his hopes on himself.

In this era, you can't rely on others. He invited Master Terra to join his team many times, but Master Terra declined every time.

In terms of Blackwater Valley's diplomacy, the new "shameless pastor" Charafor is much easier to get along with than Abraham.

At least after Levi donated some money to him, the fat man has not caused any trouble to Levi until now.

Inside the shelter, there are more and more gold coins in Levi's small treasury. Every day, like a dragon, he sleeps and wakes up on the ground covered with gold coins, leading a truly "dissolute" life.

He continued to practice selflessly, working hard to the end.

In order to deal with possible powerful enemies in the future, Levi refined a lot of "Human-faced Spider" series of poisons. Unfortunately, medicine making is different from forging. These repetitive medicines can no longer increase Levi's third-level medicine making proficiency.

If Levi wants to reach the fourth level, he must refine new medicine, but that requires a formula, so naturally he has to give up.

After this period of practice, Levi had mastered the Blood Whale Breathing Technique to the sixth level, which gave rise to a special effect: advanced endurance.

After reaching the sixth level of Blood Whale, Levi clearly felt that his fighting endurance and stamina had greatly increased, and the duration of his bursts had also been extended a lot.

This is the effect of advanced endurance. It makes Levi like a fighting machine that never stops. He will not get tired easily, which is equivalent to improving Levi's "durability".

The human-faced spider's breathing method has reached the sixth level limit. The intermediate vibration perception has been upgraded to advanced vibration perception, and the perception range is a radius of thirty meters.

Within this range, although Levi cannot be said to be omniscient, it is almost within Levi's "absolute domain".

Within thirty meters, any movement and attack of the enemy can be captured by Levi.

Levi's Siren Breathing Technique also successfully broke through to the seventh level, creating top-level speed.

He tried it out and found that at top speed, when he exerted all his strength, he only needed two seconds to run a 100-meter sprint.

It's almost the same effect as flying.

Of course, this full-strength burst cannot last too long, but it is also terrifying. It has surpassed the fastest mammal in the previous life, the cheetah!

The siren species after the seventh level were still suppressed by the black snake species at the seventh level, and the situation that Levi was worried about did not happen.

He still underestimated the power of the black snake species.

So he felt at ease raising the giant rhino to the seventh level, giving birth to top-level power.

The increase brought by top-level strength is enormous. His current strength has surpassed any of the three brothers who are almost adults.

Unless the three brothers join forces, no one of them can be a match for Levi in ​​tug-of-war.

This is no longer "wrestling with a bear", this is "wrestling with an elephant"!

Now, with the help of various breathing techniques, Levi's proficiency panel is completely the standard panel of a polygonal warrior:

Levi——

Seal of Flame: Level 2 (2333/5000)

Seal of Protection: Level 2 (2/5000)

Hell Seal: Level 1 (600/1000)

Black Snake Breathing Technique: Level 7 (15555/50000), Special Effect: Top Defense

Blood Whale Breathing Technique: Level 6 (120/40000), Special Effect: Advanced Stamina

Giant Rhino Breathing Method: Level 7 (limit, can be broken, current limit-breaking progress: 2/5), special effect: top power.

Siren Breathing Technique: Level 7 (limit, can be broken, current limit-breaking progress: 1/5), special effects: top speed, shrinking and changing shape.

Human-faced spider breathing method: level six (extreme), special effects: advanced vibration perception, spider sense.

Vortex Beast Breathing: Level 2 (368/5000)

Giant Breathing Technique: Level 1 (256/1000)

…

Except for the two brothers, the Vortex Beast and the Giant Breathing Technique, who are still performing poorly due to the lack of secret medicine, Levi has practiced all other breathing techniques to extremely high levels.

"I already have top-level defense, top-level strength, and top-level speed. Now all I need is top-level endurance, top-level physique, and top-level vibration perception."

"Of course, there may be other types of breathing techniques, but I haven't encountered them yet."

Levi can now suppress a half-knight-level puppet like the Demon Shark within five rounds.

Among the other shallow-quality breathing methods he obtained from Earl Yinshan last year, all the power-type and speed-type breathing methods were practiced to the limit by Levi, and then integrated into the Siren Breathing Method and the Giant Rhino Breathing Method. He forcibly pushed these two shallow-level breathing methods, which were originally at the fifth level to the seventh level, which was unprecedented and will never be surpassed.

Today's Siren Breathing Method and Giant Rhino Breathing Method are no longer superficial breathing methods, but truly excellent quality breathing methods. However, they cannot be compared with first-rate excellent quality breathing methods such as the Black Snake and the Giant. They are probably similar to the third-rate breathing method such as the Vortex Beast.

In order to break through the limit after the seventh level, Levi needs to practice five breathing methods of the same type as the fourth level limit. He does not have so many breathing methods now, so he can only give up.

However, the Seal of Flame, the Seal of Protection, and the Seal of Hell are still progressing slowly.

Ultimately, it’s because there are too few spellcasting materials.

This is an objective reason and Levi cannot solve it for the time being.

Levi came out of the shelter. After seeing Levi, Harris fell on Levi's shoulder. After this period of running-in, the cooperation between Harris and Levi became more and more perfect.

Today, Levi holds a bear on his left and a cang on his right, looking very imposing.

He left Black Snake Castle, asked the Demon Shark to guard the shelter, and quickly rushed to Icewind City.

Levi went to the Shining Tavern and successfully purchased a Core of the Undead.

One Undead Core can provide Levi with 100 points of proficiency in the Seal of Hell. Now the proficiency in the Seal of Hell has reached 600. Levi only needs to acquire three more in the future, and his Seal of Hell can be advanced to the second level.

At that time, Levi will be able to control two great knight-level puppets at the same time.

Of course, the prerequisite is that he has to encounter a suitable big knight enemy like the Demon Shark.

Apart from the Undead Core, the rest of the harvest was zero.

There is no breathing method, no evil spirit dust, no turbellarian eggs and ice ape blood.

Levi has gotten used to it after so long.

Cultivation is not an easy thing.

After leaving the tavern and walking to a deserted place, Levi's body shape began to change. He put on the golden mask and brought his goods for this month to the residence of Earl Silver Mountain.

Collect money, deliver goods, inspect goods.

"Master Terra, don't leave in a hurry. The Earl wants to see you for something." The retainer said with a smile.

Levi stopped.

"Okay, I'll go see the Earl."

After such a long period of trading, Levi still has a good feeling about Earl Yinshan.

Although he had some traditional faults of the nobility, overall, this man was trustworthy. Among the nobles in the north who were as barbaric as barbarians, he was relatively gentle and easy to get along with.

This is also the reason why Levi can cooperate with Earl Yinshan for such a long time.

When we arrived at the reception room, Earl Yinshan was handling some important government affairs.

When he saw Levi coming, he stopped immediately and said, "I'm sorry, Master, I have to take up some of your time. There have been more and more things happening in the territory recently, and I haven't sat down and talked with you for a long time."

"If you have any problem, just tell me directly. I will definitely help you to the best of my ability," said Levi.

"Actually, it's nothing. I just want to tell you that if you have nothing to do recently, don't come to Icewind City for the time being. I have received intelligence that in a while, a large army of the Wilderness Brotherhood may attack Icewind City, and the city may be uneasy for a while. If you want to stay in the city, I can let my Silver Fang Guards provide protection for you, or you can just move to my Silver Mountain Castle!" said the Duke of Silver Mountain.

The Duke of Silver Mountain was not too afraid of the chaotic army of the Wilderness Brotherhood.

After all, they are just a group of rabble, many of whom are militia composed of lower-class civilians and serfs who have been brainwashed by this group of people. Their weapons and equipment are no match for their own regular army.

When Levi heard this, he was moved, and then he said: "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Earl. I will not trouble you. I will not come to Icewind City during this period. I will continue to deliver goods to you after the war is over."

Earl Yinshan smiled and said, "Okay, Master, please be careful."

He looked at the figure of the master going away and couldn't help but sigh: "The snow demon hasn't been dealt with yet, and everything has become a mess."

On the other side, after Levi left Yinshan City, he walked around and found that some fortifications had been built. It seemed that a big battle was really about to take place.

However, he did not plan to leave Icewind City. He wanted to take this opportunity to obtain information about the Boar Rider from the Wilderness Brotherhood.

"I hope the Boar Rider doesn't die, otherwise I'll have no one to avenge myself on."
