When Levi left Tulip County.

An old man in armor and of plain appearance also stepped into the Flower City.

The old man was none other than the first generation second-born vampire.

In order not to attract attention, he dyed his dark red armor into jet black.

after all,

His current identity is "Knight Anderson", a wandering knight.

Instead of Blood Knight Brad.

The legendary knight is dead...

He first came to the Shining Tavern.

"Sir, today's pass is blood wine."

The sturdy man at the door of the Shining Tavern gave a warm reminder. He was afraid that Anderson didn't understand, so he introduced him to the origin and symbolic meaning of the blood wine.

Knight Anderson smiled silently.

"Blood wine?" He immediately ordered a glass of blood wine and drank it all.

There is no blood in the blood wine, but bright red wine, as red as blood, so it is called blood wine.

This wine tastes extremely sweet.

"Not bad," Anderson smiled.

"Thank you for your praise. After drinking this cup of blood wine, I hope your reputation as a ranger will spread far and wide like the Blood Knight!" said the strong man.

Anderson thought to himself, "Famous? Forget it. In this life, I just want to live a low-key life."

It is unwise to confront the church. When you think the church is already corrupt, this damn church will always be like a centipede that is dying but still clinging to its bones, and will get some so-called "sealed holy objects" from somewhere.

These holy objects often possess miraculous powers and are said to be blessed by gods with incredible power. Of course, using these holy objects often requires the church to bear a considerable price, so the church will avoid using this kind of "foundation" if possible.

The sealed holy object is very powerful. Once upon a time, a powerful native vampire committed evil and sucked the blood of an entire town, creating a horrific disaster.

The Holy Light Church immediately used one of the powerful sealing relics, and the original vampire who had destroyed an entire town and even killed several official wizards was reduced to ashes under the sealing relic.

So, even someone as powerful as Anderson.

He also came to terms with the fact that he must not confront the church head-on.

However, teaching the church a lesson and making them suffer a little would at least make these two hundred years of frustration a little better for me.

Knight Anderson was wandering around the Shining Tavern alone.

His perception is very strong. Whether it is the powerful body of the first-generation second-generation vampire or the cultivation of the legendary knight, he has perception beyond that of ordinary great knights.

So it's really easy to eavesdrop on some conversations.

To gather intelligence, there is no better place than the Shining Tavern.

Knight Anderson made some inquiries.

It was discovered that some time ago, there were indeed vampires appearing in the Flower City area, and also in some other territories nearby.

"The Mind Flayer must be Vinilla."

"Poor Venila, I told her many times not to be controlled by desires, to be the master of desires, not the slave of desires, but it seems she still broke the rules."

Vinilla is the name of the female vampire killed by Levi.

In Knight Anderson's memory, she is considered a third-generation vampire with great talent.

"If the church killed you, I will avenge you."

"But if it's revenge from someone else you've hurt, then there's nothing I can do."

This is the limit of what the Anderson Knight can do.

Deep down, he tends to think of himself as a human being.

So I prefer to stand on the human side.

Therefore, knowing full well that it was Vinilla who committed the evil first, the moral law and chivalry in his heart prevented him from ignoring the facts and siding with Vinilla.

The trouble he caused to the church was mostly due to personal grudges between him and the church.

Finally, Knight Anderson left the tavern.

He wandered around the city, and finally found the place where the incident happened, and a trace of Venila's remaining breath.

The place where the great battle took place has been leveled and repaired by people sent by Levi.

But Anderson had an extremely keen sense of smell, and he smelled Vinilla's scent.

He continued to move forward, following the scent of Vinilla.

Finally, it stopped in front of the towering Black Snake Castle.

"It's interesting that it wasn't done by the church."

"I didn't expect that the mayor of this Flower City is quite powerful."

Anderson muttered to himself. He politely came to the castle and asked the guard, "Ahem... young man, I am a wandering knight. I have something to report to the lord. Could you please inform me?"

"Old man, the lord is out, please go back." said the guard.

"Okay." Knight Anderson shook his head.

He could certainly get in easily.

But breaking into someone else's castle like that was extremely impolite and not in line with his inner moral code.

It is precisely because of the strict adherence to moral codes over the years that Knight Anderson has been able to continuously suppress the vampire desires in his body.

So he left slowly. He planned to stay in this city temporarily, to feel the changes of the times, to learn more about things, and at the same time wait for the return of the lord.

…

And Levi is already in the territory of the Scorpion Knight.

Ever since killing the Scorpion Knight, Levi has never been able to forget that strange scorpion.

"Although insects are not animals, their wild nature should be useful, right?" Levi murmured in his heart.

He thought that if he couldn't find the Scorpion Knight's method of controlling the scorpions, he would catch a few and try to tame them himself.

Compared to giant beasts like the two generals Heng and Ha, these elusive poisonous scorpions are more suitable for actual combat.

It is also convenient for Levi to carry it with him.

Inside the city.

As heroes who suppressed the Black Mountain Rebellion, the Scorpion Family received rewards from the kingdom.

The current head of the Scorpion Family is an ordinary great knight.

The great knight's name is Knight Lyle. He is currently in the family secret room, comprehending the ancestral secrets left by his father.

"The Holy Insect Control Method".

Among this secret method, there is a kind of holy insect called the Holy Armor Scorpion. This scorpion is extremely poisonous, but its most powerful feature is its iron shell, which is invulnerable to swords and guns and extremely hard.

Knight Lyle's father, the Scorpion Knight, once commanded thousands of scarabs in his prime. If prepared, ordinary knights were no match for these scarabs, and even top knights could be defeated.

This is the most precious treasure of the Scorpion family.

It is also the foundation of their family.

However, after his father's death, too many of the sacred scorpions he had bred escaped.

Now, less than one-tenth of them have been captured by Knight Lyle.

These more than one hundred sacred scorpions are his last seeds.

It is very difficult to cultivate the sacred scorpion, and it needs to feed on fresh blood and flesh.

However, this is only the lowest level of blood food, and the holy armor scorpion cultivated from it is of average strength.

The best sacred armor scorpion must be fed with fresh dead creatures.

Among all the creatures in the world, humans are the best. Feeding the sacred scorpion with humans is undoubtedly against human ethics.

Therefore, to cultivate a creature like the sacred scorpion, it must be cultivated in secret.

In the secret room of the Poison Scorpion Family, holy-armored scorpions were lurking in the scorpion pool, and people with terrified looks and dying were thrown into the scorpion pool.

These people are basically criminals, vagrants, refugees, as well as captives or people who have offended the Scorpion Family.

They were thrown into the scorpion pool, and soon their bodies were covered with sacred armor scorpions. They struggled, but to no avail.

Knight Lyle looked indifferent.

The Scorpion Family has always been cruel and ruthless.

Feeding the sacred scorpion with living people is also an old tradition of their family.

The sacred scorpion bred in this way will be even more powerful.

Just as Knight Lyle was watching the poisonous scorpion eat a living person.

There seemed to be sounds of fighting outside.

This made him frown, and he put on his armor, took his weapon, and left the secret room.

Inside the castle, a man in black with a death bird mask on his head was standing on the top of the tower, looking down at the soldiers below.

The arrows shot by those soldiers could not get close to him at all and were all shattered by the black energy around him.

"Master, an absolute master!"

Knight Lyle was shocked.

"Are you the one who told the death bird?" Knight Lyle asked, holding his weapon, ready to take action at any time.

Although the opponent was suspected to be a top-level knight and he was no match for him, this was the territory of the Scorpion Family after all.

He just didn't believe that so many people couldn't subdue a great knight.

Levi looked at the great knight below. According to the information he had obtained, this person was the current head of the Scorpion Family and the heir of the old Scorpion Knight.

"I heard that the Scorpion Family can control poisonous insects and make their enemies tremble in fear. Let me tell you straight away. I am very interested in the method of controlling these poisonous insects. If you are willing to hand over this method and the poisonous insects, I will leave now." Levi said.

He felt sad in his heart that he had finally joined the ranks of lawless outlaws.

I'm sorry that the Scorpion Family has no grudges against me in the past or today.

Knight Lyle was furious and sneered, "You are so arrogant! My Poison Scorpion Family has been famous in the south for hundreds of years. This is the first time we have been threatened. Even by the Duke of Black Mountain, we have never surrendered. You are just an assassin with the Death Bird Voice, and you want to get involved in our ancestral secrets. It's ridiculous!"

"Come here, use the crossbowmen, shoot this man!"

Knight Lyle said.

The Scorpion Family’s army swarmed in from below.

Levi's expression remained unchanged. He was like a bat knight, with his black cloak fluttering. He leaped high into the air, spraying countless poisonous gases.

"As expected of the despicable Death Bird Voice, it uses poison right at the start. Quick, everyone hold your breath! Don't breathe this poison gas!" Knight Lyle drew the bow himself and shot at Levi.

Levi grabbed the arrow shot by Knight Lyle with his backhand and threw it out directly. The arrow was wrapped in Levi's black aura!

Phew.

An arrow shot directly into Knight Lyle's armor.

Knight Lyle's expression changed drastically. His arrow was tempered with the deadly poison of the sacred scorpion.

Who could have thought that the enemy was so powerful that he could not only catch the arrow with his bare hands, but also reflect it back and break his armor.

This kind of use of black energy has never been heard of or seen before.

"I'm sorry."

Levi turned into an afterimage and swept over.

With a bang, when he landed on the ground, a group of soldiers were blown away one by one, and Levi appeared directly in front of Knight Lyle.

"I mean what I say, Master Scorpion." Levi threatened.

Knight Lyle looked at his opponent who easily controlled him.

At this moment, I was extremely frightened because of the enemy's strength.

Far beyond his imagination.

In his opinion, even the legendary knight in the legend is no more than this, right?

"Think it over carefully, Master Scorpion. Is your life more important, or is the secret technique more important?" Levi said.

The head of the Poison Scorpion family was panicked at this moment. He was finally forced to retreat under the threat of Levi. He took Levi with him into the secret room where the Holy Armor Scorpion was raised.

Levi looked at the poisonous scorpions in the scorpion pool.

"It is this thing that can actually devour the soul. It's really magical." Levi muttered to himself as he looked at the Holy Armor Scorpion.

However, when Levi saw the people in the scorpion pool being devoured by poisonous scorpions, he frowned.

"You feed the scorpions with living people?" Levi asked.

Knight Lyle said, "Even if these people don't feed the holy armor scorpions, they won't live long. They are all dying. If you really want to breed powerful holy armor scorpions, you will do the same."

Levi didn't say anything.

Under the threat of death, Knight Lyle handed a parchment manuscript to Levi.

Levi took the parchment notebook and glanced at it.

It should be that the method of controlling poisonous insects is correct.

"The Holy Insect Taming Technique can cultivate and tame not only the Holy Armored Scorpion, but also many other poisonous insects. This is a great thing, it must be the masterpiece of a wizard."

Although Levi didn't read it carefully, he felt that it was so profound and extensive that it was not something that an ordinary person could produce. It must be a work of some wizard who studies poisonous insects and monsters.

The scope of wizard research is so broad that it is normal to have a school that specializes in the study of poisonous insects.

"Yes, you didn't lie to me."

"Unfortunately, I am the assassin of the Dead Bird Voice. I am dishonest and shameless. This is my usual style."

Levi sneered and shattered Knight Lyle's heart and life seed with one palm, killing him directly.

This kind of ordinary knight is no match for Levi at all.

No matter what, since I have already offended the Scorpion Family, I will offend them completely.

The Scorpion Family is a family that holds grudges. If I release Knight Lyle now, even though I am doing it as the Voice of the Dead Bird, I can't guarantee that I will be retaliated against in the future.

Better dead.

After Levi killed Knight Lyle, he searched the secret room.

According to the "Holy Insect Control Method", poisonous insects are usually raised in special breeding bags for daily carrying.

After searching for a while, he finally found a strange bag hanging on the wall. It looked like it was made of the fur of some animal, and there seemed to be some flashing runes on it.

“That should be it.”

Levi picked up the bag, then opened it with the secret formula. He jumped into the scorpion pool, protected his entire body with black scales, and caught the poisonous scorpions with his bare hands.

He could feel that the holy scorpions were gnawing at his black scales.

"What powerful poisonous insects! My Black Scale, which is invulnerable to swords and guns, can't withstand their bites. They are indeed the alien insects bred by wizards." Levi admired in his heart and became even happier.

Once I have mastered the method of controlling poisonous scorpions, my strength will be able to reach a higher level.

In this way, after entering the wizarding world, I will have more means to deal with my enemies.

Delicious!

Suddenly, Levi remembered that the holy scorpion could devour souls, so he took out the body of Knight Lyle who had just died.

Suddenly, a group of sacred scorpions lay on Knight Lyle's head.

They were crawling on the ground, seemingly performing some evil ritual.

Then they sucked the void, and then.

Tutankhamun was released by Levi, and he said when he saw this scene.

"What a powerful insect! It can actually devour souls. This poisonous scorpion is undoubtedly the creation of the wizard of the insect school." Tutankhamun said.

"Is the Insect School also a Wizarding School?" Levi asked.

"Yes, but it is a less popular school of thought. People are used to classifying it as the mutation study of the life school. After all, it is just a weirdo who studies some mutant poisonous insects."

Soon, Levi finally put all of the hundred or so sacred armor scorpions into the bag before his black scales were chewed to pieces.

And the soul of Knight Lyle was also devoured.

After devouring Knight Lyle's soul, Levi discovered that several poisonous scorpions seemed to have become round and plump.

He lay motionless on the ground, as if he had eaten too much.

"I hope I don't die of overeating." Levi thought to himself.

"As long as this method of controlling poisonous insects can be put on the proficiency panel, it will be easy to follow."

He took up Knight Lyle's body and wrapped it up.

Although he is an ordinary great knight, he can be barely trained as the fifth future of the Demon Family.

It's okay to be a cannon fodder.

This wave is the rational use of corpses.

In the future, all five generals of the Demon Family will be destroyed.

Their flesh and blood can also be recycled to feed scarabs.

"It's a weird secret method, but... I like it."

The more evil it is, the more powerful it is.

For the sake of strength, Levi doesn't mind turning into one of those poisonous monsters.

He searched the Scorpion Family's mansion again and found a few more escaped Holy Armor Scorpions.

Levi also found the breathing method inheritance diagram of the Scorpion Family. Unfortunately, it was the power-type breathing method that he disliked the most and was everywhere. It could only be practiced to the limit of the eighth level, and was a second-rate breathing method of excellent quality.

In the end, the outlaw Levi dropped a mask of the dying bird's voice, took the body of Knight Lyle, and sneaked back to the Flower City, Black Snake Castle.

After returning, Levi turned Knight Lyle into a living dead.

Levi named it "Scorpion".

Used to commemorate the poor scorpion family.

So far, Levi has five generals under his command: Demon Shark, Demon Mountain, Demon Sea, Demon Shadow, and Demon Scorpion.

What a luxurious lineup!

"There are still two vacancies. I wonder which two lucky guys will get them. This kind of fixed establishment is a blessing that these people can only accumulate after five hundred years." Levi laughed in his heart.

On the other hand, a few days later, bad news came from the Scorpion Family.

"The assassins of the Deathbird have attacked the Scorpion Family."

This big event became the gossip among the southern nobles after dinner.

The kingdom strongly condemned the despicable act of the Death Bird Voice.

During this period of time, Levi began to study the "Holy Insect Control Method" day and night, preparing to record the method of controlling poisonous insects in this secret method on the proficiency panel.
