The year 1015 of the Holy Era, the month of winter.

The city of flowers is still as warm as spring.

Levi came out of his state of practice.

According to intelligence from the front line, Black Mountain City has fallen.

Snow demons invade the North.

Several of the church's seven earthly paladins led the members of the Knights Templar to hunt down the snow monster.

The good news is that since the outbreak of blue frost in Black Mountain City, there has been no outbreak of blue frost in other cities in the north.

The Pope claimed that he had received an oracle from Heavenly Father.

God has noticed everything in the human world, and will punish the evil god behind Lan Shuang. God wants the people of the world to unite around him and fight against Lan Shuang!

Levi expressed serious doubts about this.

"If God really cares, then what do those people who died before matter?" Levi sighed.

Instead of relying on God, rely on yourself.

Be it a knight or a wizard.

This is the best way for mortals to protect themselves.

If I didn't have such strength.

If I were just an ordinary little lord.

Then your fate may not be much better than those of ordinary people.

After this period of practice, Levi continued to practice casting spells.

Levi's insect-controlling technique was finally upgraded to the second level.

Levi——

Insect Taming: Level 2 (1/5000)

…

The second-level insect-controlling technique has made the connection with the Holy Armor Scorpion even closer.

Levi can already barely control the Holy Scorpion.

Of course, the number of sacred scorpions he controls cannot exceed ten.

If there are more than ten of them, the extra sacred armor scorpions will bite you.

At the first level, Levi can control a sacred scorpion.

So he guessed, if it increased tenfold.

With my third-level insect-controlling technique, I should be able to control a hundred holy-armored scorpions.

And the fourth level, one thousand.

Level 5, 10,000...

Of course, the prerequisite is that the insect taming technique can be practiced to the fifth level.

Ten holy armor scorpions have basically no combat power. If you want to pose a threat to the great knight, you need at least a hundred of them.

Levi can only work slowly.

He has already spent too much time learning the art of insect taming.

Next, he had to pick up his breathing method again.

After all, at present, the breathing method is still the one that can increase one's strength the most and fastest.

Li Wei came out of isolation today because someone has been looking for him for several times during this period of time.

Levi didn't want to pay any attention to him at first, but the soldier told him that the man might be a great knight, so Levi had better go and take a look.

Levi thought about it and decided to go and meet him.

Not long after, the visitor appeared at Levi's Black Snake Castle.

He had an old face, a slightly hunched body, black armor, and a head full of silver hair, but his obvious aura of a great knight made it impossible to ignore this old man.

It was the Knight Anderson who visited him three times.

"Respected Lord Levi, I am Knight Anderson. I have something I would like to discuss with you." The old man spoke directly to the point in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

Levi's spider sense sent a faint sense of danger, which made him look solemn.

The one who comes is definitely a strong one.

Even though the opponent only showed the strength of a great knight.

But Levi can feel it with his superhuman perception and mental power, this Knight Anderson.

He was definitely the strongest knight he had ever seen, at least not weaker than the Duke of Black Mountain and the Fist of the Empire.

Standing there, he actually felt a sense of returning to nature, and being one with nature.

"What do you want from me, Mr. Anderson?"

Levi sent the servants away and then asked.

Knight Anderson sighed and said softly, "Did you kill a vampire some time ago?"

Hearing this, Levi's mind changed.

I didn't expect that even though I was so cautious, the plan of killing the vampires was still exposed?

Could it be that this old man is also a vampire?

Sure enough, there should be some kind of sensory connection between the members of the blood clan.

Levi secretly thought it was troublesome.

But he wasn't really panicked.

With his own strength, as long as the opponent is not a native vampire, he is not without the ability to fight.

At worst, I can just activate the "Blood of Red Lotus" and fight to the death.

Moreover, judging from the other party's attitude, it seems that he is not here to cause trouble.

"What do you mean, sir?" Levi neither admitted nor denied it, but pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth.

Knight Anderson smiled slightly. "I have no ill intentions. I just want to confirm this with you. Vinilla is the name of the vampire you killed. She is my junior. She has a perverse personality and is too self-indulgent. I am not here to avenge Vinilla."

Li Wei naturally didn't believe it, and he said, "I don't know what you are talking about."

Anyway, he refused to admit that he killed her.

Knight Anderson still said calmly: "Never mind, it's not a big deal. I'll just say it straight. I'm also a vampire, an elder of that Vineira. According to the rules of the vampires, under normal circumstances, we will take the most crazy revenge on those who kill fellow vampires. It's just that I'm special, so I won't take revenge on you. I just want to take Vineira's body away. I can sense that Vineira's breath is in your castle. In fact, if it weren't for my inner moral code, I could sneak into the castle without your knowledge and take away Vineira's body, or snatch it back from you.

But my heart wouldn't allow me to do that.

I hope you will hand over Vinilla's body to me as a thank you. I can agree to one of your requests within my ability, whether it is wealth or some secret techniques, anything I can provide.

I think you are a wild wizard. If you want to enter the realm of the unbelievers, I can also recommend a mentor to you. I know some wizards with good character. "

Knight Anderson spoke softly, his expression sincere and didn't seem fake.

This left Levi confused and he was half-believing and half-doubting.

He didn't believe that there were such vampires in this world.

Not to mention the vampires, there aren’t many humans who are so disciplined and follow moral standards.

But this person is really too strong.

His old eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

This made Levi basically acknowledge the truthfulness of his words.

Because from now on, the other party is very likely to be a legendary knight or a formal wizard-level figure. It is indeed not difficult for such a strong man to kill himself.

There's no need to deceive yourself.

However, Levi still said stubbornly: "I really don't know what you are talking about, Your Excellency?"

Knight Anderson was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. This lord was also interesting.

Even after I've said so much, he still doesn't believe me.

It's just that Anderson has a good personality. If it were any other vampire, Levi would have been torn into pieces long ago.

"Well, you can come to see me anytime, I live at 13 Downton Street." Knight Anderson said, waved his hand, and left.

Li Wei said: "Your Excellency is a member of the vampire clan. You appear in the world openly. Aren't you afraid of the church's sanctions?"

Knight Anderson turned around and smiled. "Don't be afraid. I believe you won't tell anyone. After all, we all have secrets."

Knight Anderson said this and disappeared from Levi's sight.

Levi looked thoughtful.

"This old fellow should be an old antique of the blood clan. He is most likely a first-generation blood clan member, and it is unlikely that he is a native blood clan member. The native blood clan members are a group of complete lunatics who completely look down on humans and treat humans as blood food. They will not be so polite to me.

The other party behaved like this, probably because his willpower was too strong, so the will of the vampires did not erode his will as a human, which is not simple. "

Moreover, this old fellow could tell at a glance that he was a wild wizard, and he should be able to sense his extraordinary mental power.

This also sounded a wake-up call for Levi.

Perhaps some powerful people in the church can also see through my true colors.

And if the church knew that he was secretly becoming a wizard, the consequences would be disastrous.

As for the "wild wizards" mentioned by the old man, these are the wizards in the Realm of Believers. It is a name for a group of wizards who wander outside the Realm of Believers, hiding in the human world, without any organization or mentor to guide them.

So, there are actually some wizard groups in the world, but they are very few and far between.

Firstly, in the human world, one has to be watched by the church, hiding all day long, worried and uncomfortable. For example, Levi is in a situation like this now. He dares not even use magic in front of other people, for fear that it will accidentally leak to the church and get into trouble.

Secondly, in the secular world, the free etheric elemental power is very thin. Whether it is constructing a spell model or casting a spell, the effect here is far less than in the realm of believers. The same person casting the same spell will have different power.

Moreover, wizards must communicate with their peers in order to make progress. It is difficult to achieve anything by working in isolation. After all, individual wisdom is not as good as collective wisdom. It is basically impossible to find fellow wizards to communicate with in the human world, and no one is willing to be here.

Levi had no choice but to stay here temporarily.

Although Knight Anderson's words were sincere, Levi couldn't believe him at the moment.

If he really does as he said, Levi can take the body out and exchange it for something he needs.

The other party did show enough sincerity, but he was a vampire after all, so Levi could never be too careful.

What if the other party finds a way to resurrect Vinilla, and Vinilla comes back to life and causes trouble for him again? Wouldn't Levi be asking for trouble?

Without thinking about Anderson, the days of practice passed one by one, and there was still no news from Huozhi.

It is New Year’s Day, the 1016th year of the Holy Hui Calendar.

Levi's Red Lotus Breathing Technique has reached the eighth level.

Levi——

Red Lotus Breathing Technique: Level 8 (1/100000), Special Effects: Extraordinary Power, Red Lotus Blood.

…

This is the fourth special effect of "superpower" born by Levi.

Levi was no longer concerned about the breakthrough in breathing technique.

Now Levi has a bunch of breathing techniques above the eighth level all over his body, and his strength is increasing day by day. He is dormant, practicing quietly, not causing trouble, and being extremely low-key.

Also on New Year’s Day.

An explosive event spread from the Tuva Empire to the Emerald Kingdom.

The Imperial Fists have reappeared.

This top-level warrior, the unrivaled god of war born in the storm, used thundering means as soon as he appeared and killed the Lord of the Empire who had not even warmed up on the throne.

Later, he was hunted down by the Storm Knights of the Storm Church. Relying on his terrifying strength, he killed three great knights. Even after the Storm Archbishop of the Storm Church mobilized the church's "background", he still escaped and ran to the open sea.

The reason why he went to the open sea was because another major event happened.

Someone found a treasure map left behind by the Golden Knight Greg.

Golden Knight Greg, one of the legendary knights, was a powerful man who left behind countless legendary deeds during his lifetime.

He is extremely powerful. It is said that the blood flowing in his body is golden in color and emits a golden glow. He is invulnerable to swords and guns, indestructible, and immune to water and fire!

This is the famous "golden blood"!

Some people say that the Golden Knight Greg is the descendant of a powerful alien race, while others say that the Golden Knight Greg is the descendant of a wizard.

There are many different opinions, but what we can know is.

In addition to his golden blood, the Golden Knight Greg also possesses powerful sword skills and is a true swordsman. Today, the Seven Swordsmen under the King are all younger brothers in front of the Golden Knight.

The treasure map says that the Golden Knight Greg left his wealth on an isolated island in the open sea.

It is said that in the last years of his life, the Golden Knight Greg was dissatisfied with the rule of the church, so he spent a lot of money to build a huge boat and set sail on the sea, looking for no one.

On that voyage, the Golden Knight took his ship full of wealth, several great knight servants under his command, and everything that belonged to the Golden Knight, and headed for the sea!

Then, there was no news.

Today, the treasure map reappears.

The mysterious treasure of the Golden Knight is on an isolated island in the open sea!

Do you want to get the wealth of the Golden Knight Greg?

Do you want to have the strongest strength, power, and breathing method in the world?

Want to become a legendary knight?

Then let’s go to the sea.

Golden Knight Greg left everything there.

Inspired by this news, whose authenticity was unknown, a grand maritime adventure was first launched in the coastal areas of the Tuva Empire.

Even the Imperial Fists were not immune and went out to sea in search of Greg's treasure.

And this trend has now swept into the jade kingdom.

This made Levi laugh and cry.

"These people are really idle and panic."

"With the navigation and shipbuilding technology of this era, it is impossible to find the treasure of the Golden Knight. What's more, this news may be false."

Anyway, Levi didn't believe it at all.

He would not participate in such boring activities.

However, he would still pay attention to the gossip about the Great Adventure and the movements of the Imperial Fists from time to time.

This three-meter-tall man left a deep impression on Levi.

Levi really wanted to have a fist-to-fist battle with the Fists of the Empire to test his current strength.

But obviously, the chances of this happening are slim.

There was no way Levi would go looking for the Imperial Fist just for a sparring match.

"But could the Golden Knight's powerful sword skill be my Golden Cross Slash?" Levi suddenly thought of a question.

The Golden Cross Slash was taught to Levi by the Serpent Eagle Knight.

The Serpent Eagle Knight said that if one cultivates to the highest level of spinning, this sword skill can be comparable to perfect or even legendary quality.

The Golden Knight Greg is a legendary knight.

In Levi's opinion, only a legendary knight could create such powerful sword skills.

During this period, Levi did not stop practicing the Golden Cross Slash.

He estimated that he would be able to perfect the Golden Cross Slash to the sixth level this year, if his guess was correct.

The seventh-level golden cross slash corresponds to the power of rotation.

Of course, because of the invention of the Ripple Palm.

Levi's Golden Cross Slash is now in name only.

It would be more appropriate to call it the "Golden Ripple Palm".

While Levi was paying attention to the situation of the Age of Discovery, he was also quietly gaining experience in his own territory.

During this period, the mysterious and powerful vampire knight Anderson did not come to disturb him, and he seemed to have become an ordinary old man, settling in this flower city. Levi would sometimes meet him when he went to the Shining Tavern.

The other party would also smile kindly at Levi.

Levi's spider sense rarely sounds an alarm.

This shows that the old man really has no ill intentions and has no intention of harming Levi.

To be honest, Levi was a little tempted.

As a powerful vampire with a long life and friends who are formal wizards, the other party has a strong network of contacts. If he can introduce some to me, perhaps I don't need fire paper at all, and I don't need to wait for news from the four major families.

As long as the other party is willing to speak, maybe I can enter the realm of the faithless.

But the biggest problem lies in the other party's vampire identity.

This has always been Levi's concern.

In such a dilemma, Levi continued to gain experience.

The year 1016 of the Holy Hui Calendar, the month of flowing fire.

The Flower City is extremely hot, with a heat wave sweeping across it.

After a long period of training, Levi mastered the Golden Cross Slash, a powerful sword skill learned from Knight Fred.

Finally reached the limit of level 6.

Levi——

Golden Cross Slash: Level 6 (limit, can break the limit), special effects: advanced vibration, advanced ripple.

…

"The Golden Cross Slash has reached a bottleneck. I know that breaking through to the highest level of rotation is not that easy." Levi said to himself.

He has been focusing on the Golden Cross Slash recently, because the Golden Cross Slash has been stuck at the sixth level for a long time. He wants to break through to the seventh level as soon as possible and master the power of spinning.

But the facts have proved that the power of rotation is not something that can be easily mastered.

From the first level to the sixth level, I didn’t encounter any bottlenecks. I broke through them on my own.

But to go from level 6 to level 7, one needs to find a way to break through the bottleneck, to break the limit and master the power of rotation.

"But how to break the limit?"

Levi was worried, now he was just one step away from success.

"Vibration, ripples, swirls."

"According to my previous understanding, vibrations create ripples, and ripples create whirlpools. This is correct."

"What should I do to make a breakthrough?"

Levi walked out of the castle and came to the Shining Tavern, listening to other knights enthusiastically discussing the news of the treasure of the Golden Knight Greg.

Now that half a year has passed, the enthusiasm for the great voyages has faded a little, and a large number of people have been lost at sea or returned empty-handed.

Based on his own analysis, Levi speculated that the Golden Cross Slash might be the sword skill of the Golden Knight Greg, so the key to breaking through the whirling force might lie with the Golden Knight.
