When Levi and the others returned to the Gray Tower, outside the protection of the blue sea, hundreds of sea beasts were constantly attacking the barrier.
The ground was littered with the corpses of sea beasts and blood was flowing like a river. These sea beasts fearlessly charged towards the barrier.
Most of these sea beasts are controlled by the sea people, who are born to communicate with them. They only need to discredit the wizards as dark and evil in front of these simple-minded sea beasts, and these sea beasts will become their weapons of war.
As for the remaining ones that were not bewitched, due to the instinct of most sea beasts to act in groups, they followed suit and attacked the wizard's territory without knowing what was going on.
Many sea beasts that are rarely seen at ordinary times can now be encountered in the sea beast tide.
At present, it seems that with the protection of the two-ring magic circle barrier [Shelter of the Blue Sea] and the defense of the wizard apprentice, there will be no problem in resisting the first wave of beasts.
Not only that, a total of nine alchemical creatures were also constantly attacking the group of sea beasts. These were the [Alchemical Guards] refined by the tower master. They basically had the strength of high-level wizard apprentices and also used Taishi as their energy core.
Levi and Marco couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Marco, you're back. How's the situation over there?" asked Mylene.
"There is a powerful sea creature and four one-ring sea beasts." Marco said seriously.
"What? Are there strong sea creatures coming in the first wave?" Mailin was a little surprised.
Logically speaking, these sea creatures were the last to appear. Now, it was only the first wave of warm-up, and so many first-ring sea beasts and even sea creatures appeared. Mai Lin suspected that the Star Tower’s calculation of the danger level of this sea beast tide was wrong. This was not level three, but perhaps above level three...
"But don't worry, Mylin. Two of those one-ring sea beasts ran away, two were killed, and that strong sea creature was also killed. You have to thank your apprentice for this." Tim said.
"Levi..." Mylene murmured.
Levi smiled and said, "It was only with the cooperation of the two teachers that I was able to kill the enemy."
Next, Levi and two official wizards joined.
These are the low-level sea beasts left over from the first wave of beasts.
Half a day later, everything was cleared up.
In general, rely on the protection of the magic circle barrier.
As long as the barrier is not broken, the apprentices can use long-range spells to attack the sea beasts unscrupulously. When they get tired, others will take over, and they can go back to meditate to restore their mental strength, or drink red and blue potions.
Levi alone killed dozens of sea beasts. If he released his own zombies, killing these sea beasts would be even easier. However, things related to the School of Death are relatively sensitive in the Gray Tower, and Levi does not want to use them. After all, the Ship of the Undead belongs to the School of Death.
Finally, when the first wave of sea beasts receded, the apprentices were gasping for breath, and some even fainted due to mental exhaustion.
In terms of combat endurance, these apprentices are far inferior to legendary knights like Levi. Even the first-ring wizards are not as good as Levi.
Levi looked for some sea beast materials that he could use on the corpses of these sea beasts and collected them. He didn't want the other sea beast flesh and blood, and gave them to the tower as a reserve of supplies for this period of time.
During the sea beast tide, the most abundant thing was the corpses of sea beasts. Levi's scarabs were about to vomit from eating so much. Thousands of scarabs had eaten so much that they were round and could not move on the ground. Levi was afraid that they would starve to death.
These insects are completely ruthless eating machines. They basically eat and poop at the same time seamlessly. Except for sleeping, they spend most of their time eating.
Although Levi did not deliberately select and breed the Holy Armor Scorpions, the quality of today's Holy Armor Scorpions is much better than when Levi first took over.
After all, the worst food these guys eat is sea beast meat, and they often devour the flesh and souls of knights and wizards. It's much better than the food they had when they were in the Scorpion Clan.
Even if all these thousand scarabs were released, even the high-level wizard apprentice would find it difficult to resist, because the shells of these new-generation scarabs were too hard, and ordinary tricks could not hurt them at all. Moreover, they could also bite the spell defense force fields, just like they bit the black air of the great knight. There was almost nothing they could not bite.
Levi estimated that if the transformation continued, the number of these holy armor scorpions would increase, for example, tens of thousands of holy armor scorpions, and even a formal wizard would be frightened and flee. However, his insect control technique was only level three, and he had no way of controlling so many holy armor scorpions, so he was currently controlling the number of holy armor scorpions and did not dare to breed too many.
After becoming an official wizard and learning the "Touch of the Scarab", he can officially embark on the path of insect taming in the Insect School. By then, a legend about the "Insect Demon" may be born in this sea area.
After the first wave of beasts ended, the wizards and apprentices did not dare to slack off. They hurried out to clean up the battlefield and cleared all the corpses of sea beasts, while preparing for the second wave of beasts that might arrive at any time.
Levi looked at the blue light curtain and returned to his home to rest. After fighting for such a long time, Levi was a little tired and needed a good rest.
"But the protection of this blue sea is really useful. It's a pity that the inheritance of the magic circle is too rare. There are five official pharmacists in this sea area, but not a single magic circle wizard." Levi sighed.
Magic circles are a comprehensive subject that integrates many disciplines of wizards. It is also the most difficult subject. The resources and time cost required to learn it are extremely high!
Let alone this sea area, even if you look at the entire Endless Sea, there may not be many magic array wizards who are proficient in magic arrays. Excellent magic array wizards are generally cultivated by some major forces at a great cost. These magic array wizards are also firmly controlled by these forces as strategic weapons.
Levi wanted to learn the magic circle, but he couldn't do anything without the right ingredients. He didn't even have the inherited knowledge of the magic circle, so how could he learn it?
If the magic circle is used well, it will be very useful when you build your own base on the island or your own wizard tower in the future.
Levi no longer fantasized about things he didn't have, but took out the body of the sea clan swordsman from the storage bag.
This sea swordsman collapsed on the ground, like a giant octopus. Each of the octopus's eight tentacles held a sharp bone knife. The bone knife was made of the bones of an unknown sea beast. Although the workmanship was rough and primitive, it was not damaged at all when it collided head-on with Levi's golden trident, and it even broke the weapon of the wizard Marco.
This was the first time Levi saw the sea people, so he was naturally very curious. He went to the library of the White Tower and found an ancient book that had been covered in dust for a long time, "Records of the Sea Kingdoms", which recorded a lot of knowledge about the sea people.
Levi looked up books and discovered that this octopus man was a sea warrior called "Eight-legged Siren".
Only the strong ones among the sea people can be called "warriors", and their strength is basically the same as that of a first-ring wizard.
Above them are the "Sea Clan Generals", "Sea Clan Barons", etc. The social structure of the sea clan is similar to that of the kingdoms in the human world, with small lords and big lords, who are enfeoffed layer by layer and are ultimately led by the so-called "Four Emperors of the Sea Clan".
In short, from the description in the book, the sea tribe should have been a very powerful tribe, but it gradually withdrew from the stage of history because of the arrival of wizards. In the Endless Sea, there are four largest sea tribes, occupying the four sea areas in the southeast, northwest, and northeast, and established four powerful sea tribe empires. The rulers of these four empires are called the "Four Emperors of the Sea Tribe". What shocked Levi was that the Four Emperors of the Sea Tribe actually had the strength of high-level wizards.
"The sea tribe is so strong?"
High-level wizard, this is a realm extremely far away from Levi. In fact, even a three-ring wizard is out of reach for Levi, not to mention a high-level wizard of at least the sixth environment realm.
Above the Four Sea Kings, there is another transcendent being, the Sea Clan High Priest, whose status is similar to that of the Pope in the secular world, and whose followers are all the sea clans in the Endless Sea. The Sea Clan High Priest is the spiritual leader of all the sea clans in the Endless Sea, because in today's era, only the Sea Clan High Priest can receive the oracle of the supreme Sea God.
"Poseidon."
Levi frowned slightly. To be called "God" by such a powerful sea creature, this Sea God should be at the level of a Nine-ring Wizard, the so-called "Demigod".
But Levi thought about it and decided that if there really was a sea god, it was not something he should worry about.
If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. This time, the tide of sea monsters, like the previous ones, can definitely be survived, but there will definitely be some sacrifices, as long as it is not himself and the Gray Tower.
"Atlan Empire."
Levi muttered to himself, this is the Sea Clan Empire that controls the southern region of the Endless Sea, and the Gray Tower is in the outer ring area of the southern sea. Emperor Atlan is a supreme power of the Soft Clan [Eight-armed Demon Emperor], and he looks similar to this Sea Clan Swordsman, both are octopus people, but the Eight-armed Demon Emperor is of royal blood, while this Sea Clan Swordsman is just an ordinary Sea Clan member.
"Interesting, it turns out that there are so many races in the Endless Sea." Levi sighed slightly after reading this ancient book.
Then he searched the sea swordsman's body and finally found a storage bag similar to a conch.
这个储物袋之中，有很多亮闪闪的金币，看来海族之间也是用黄金交易，在这些金币上面，刻印着一尊顶天立地，散发着滔天魔焰，长相恐怖的八臂巨人，巨人的脑袋下遍布密密麻麻的肉须触手，背后还长有一对遮天蔽日的肉翼，想必就是那位海族四皇之一的八臂魔皇。
除了这些金币外，还有上千块太石，有可能是这个海族从其他巫师身上抢来的。
忽然，李维在储物袋的角落，找到了一张画像，上面画着一位英姿飒爽的女骑士，她披着华丽的披风大髦，身穿银色的铠甲，手持一柄完全不像是女人会使用的巨剑，骑着一匹白色的独角兽。
“百花骑士？”
“这个海族身上怎么会有百花骑士的画像？”
李维心中疑惑，这完全八竿子打不着啊。
百花骑士的大名，李维在人间就听说过了，在闪耀酒馆之中，还有以百花骑士之名的“百花佳酿”。李维还以为这位传奇骑士已经死了，因为百花骑士名号，貌似都传了几百年了。
可是现在来看，百花骑士，有可能没有死？或许还来到蔚蓝之境，成为了巫师。
李维内心疑惑。实际情况是佩德彪的父亲范德罗曾经在一位女传奇骑士之下吃过大亏，这位女传奇骑士，就是百花骑士伊莲娜！
范德罗在吃亏后，念念不忘百花骑士，就根据自己的记忆画出来这幅画像，放在自己的卧室天天欣赏。
佩德彪这个傻儿子决心为父报仇，拿走这个画像，如果日后有一天遇到百花骑士，他要为八刀流正名！
然后就中道崩殂，直接折戟在李维的手中。
本来以佩德彪的情报，他不认为这灰白之塔中除了那两个二环巫师之外，有谁可以击败自己。兵对兵，将对将，二环巫师肯定要防着自己这边二环的强者，不敢轻易出手，即便真出手了，也不一定可以留下自己。
奈何他正好撞上了刚刚黑魔刃四阶，实力暴涨的李维。九九归一加上黄金九剑，直接秒了佩德彪。
得知百花骑士也有可能在蔚蓝之境的李维心中意动，他想有机会的话，把百花骑士拉入自己黄昏骑士团之中，这样全都是老爷们的骑士团也有女骑士了。
接下来的一个月，第二波兽潮并没有到来，这让灰白之塔获得了一丝喘息的机会。
李维也趁着这段时间，疯狂爆肝，和当初面对黑山公爵一样，他又感受到了那种压力。在李维爆肝之时，外界早已经一片混乱。
仅仅是第一波的海兽潮，在这片海域之中，就有两个一环巫师组织被踏平，又有两个岛屿成为了无主之地，等到海兽潮之后，就会被群星之塔收回拍卖。
在海兽大潮这一时期死掉的巫师，一般情况下除非一些身份重要的实力很强的存在，普通的一环巫师，泛位面巫师议会都不会启动调查程序。因为没必要，每次海兽大潮，都会有不少巫师陨落，这都在泛位面巫师议会的可承受范围内。
虽然这样很残忍，但是在某种程度上，泛位面巫师议会也是把海兽大潮当成了一种对于无尽海全体巫师的试炼。
优胜劣汰，适者生存。
这原始而粗暴的淘汰方式，却也最有效，一个庞大的组织，也是需要定期换血的。要不然，以泛位面巫师议会的强大，根本不可能让无尽海发生所谓的海兽大潮。
不过目前为止，这片海域十几个二环组织，都安然无恙的渡过了第一波海兽大潮，大家都紧张的等待下一次海兽大潮的来临。
鲸歌孤岛上，墨菲斯面色冰冷，就在一个月前，他们组织的希尔科斯的灵魂之玉碎了。
他专门派人去那黑帆岛看了看，就看见那黑帆执法会已经被某种极为狂暴的力量夷为平地。
还有各种各样的海兽爬过的痕迹。
而希尔科斯，已经消失无踪，很显然是死了，要么被海兽吞噬，要么被毁尸灭迹。
虽然希尔科斯实力不怎么样，但也是鲸歌孤岛的正式巫师。
在巅峰时期，鲸歌孤岛足足有十二位正式巫师。
现在，只剩下了十位！
诡境探索损失一位，现在海兽大潮又损失一位。
墨菲斯不认为是海兽杀了希尔科斯，希尔科斯怎么也是一环巫师，在这样的第一波海兽大潮之中，足以自保。墨菲斯严重怀疑，是这片海域其他组织的巫师，杀了希尔科斯。
而其中，最有可能的就是灰白之塔。毕竟灰白之塔的那个传奇骑士，可是在诡境之中让鲸歌孤岛吃了大亏，现在还逍遥法外呢。
想到这里，墨菲斯让人给哈兰特传信，这次袭击灰白之塔，绝对不能放过那个传奇骑士，不管是不是他做的，总之杀了就完事了。
而在一片幽暗的海底，一座古老而奇特的海底城堡坐落于此。
城堡位于一处隐秘的海底峡谷中，通体是在一座海底山峰之中凿出来的，巍峨耸立，十分壮观。
这是“比奇城堡”，深海男爵的府邸，在发起动员之后，深海男爵就回到了自己的城堡，他高座在自己的珊瑚王座上。
他的面前，是一位八条触手的瘦高海族，这正是刀王·范德罗，比奇城堡四大将之一，软体族的强者，佩德彪之父。
深海男爵麾下共有四位大将，除了软体族的范德罗外，还有甲壳族的鬼钳屠夫·阿金，软体族的黄色闪光·鲍勃，以及软体族的红魔鬼·派克。
这四位大将都有二环巫师的实力，其中有三位正在前线指挥海族和海兽入侵巫师岛。
只有范德罗，因为军师的身份，留在了深海男爵的身边。
“范德罗，你找我何事？”深海男爵忽然问道。
“男爵大人，我那不成器的儿子佩德彪死了，我想去亲自带队前去给他报仇。”范德罗面色阴沉，冷冷说道。
就在不久前，他通过儿子留下的灵魂之玉感应到了儿子的死讯，他没想到，儿子居然这么快就陨落在了前线的战场上。
佩德彪信心满满上战场之前，老范德罗还一次次提醒儿子，不要轻敌，无论如何，都要活着回来。
可是没想到，上次见面，已经成为了父子的永别。
“范德罗，我理解你现在的心情，不过现在是战时，战争没有不死人的，就算是我的儿子上战场死了，我也丝毫不奇怪。一切都要为了海族复兴的大业而考虑，你是我身边最重要的人，我需要你留在这里帮我出谋划策，指挥全军，现在才是战争开始，你就上战场暴露在敌人的面前，无疑是不明智的。
对了，你儿子是去了那个巫师组织？”深海男爵问道。
“男爵大人，他去了灰白之塔。”范德罗说道。
“我知道了，等时机成熟，我会亲自率军，出征灰白之塔，区区二环巫师组织，我一巴掌就可以拍灭，桀桀桀……”深海男爵裂开满是锋利牙齿的大嘴狂笑着。
……
圣辉历1024年，熔炉之月。
距离第一波海兽大潮的冲击已经过去了几个月。
这期间，后续的海兽大潮之中，并没有出现一环存在，都是一些数量众多的低级海兽，悍不畏死的朝着巫师塔飞蛾扑火的冲击。
有二环的法阵结界，这些海兽的冲击，虽然来势汹汹，但都有惊无险的挺过去了。
不过相应的，太石的消耗也让麦琳一阵担忧。
海兽大潮已经好几个月了，在经历了如此密集的海兽袭击之后，依旧还有数之不尽的海兽争先恐后的涌来，如潮水一样，灰白之塔宛如暴风雨之中的一叶孤舟，随时可能被倾覆。
因为没有一环存在，所以李维这几个月除了猎杀一些低等海兽外，大多数时间都在灰塔九层修行呼吸法。
经过他不断的努力，驼背龙呼吸法已然极限，黑鲸呼吸法也突破九阶。
李维——
驼背龙呼吸法：十阶（极限），特效：龙脊（液态）。
黑鲸呼吸法：九阶（347/150000），特效：鲸背（气态）。
……
李维的体内，宛如浓稠沥青流淌浇筑的龙脊撑起来李维魁梧的身躯，其中蕴含的力量，源源不绝，浩瀚无边。
十阶的龙脊，所带来的耐力效果比起之前，又有了显著的提升，应该有八阶超凡耐力的三倍了。
这让李维在接下来的海兽大潮之中，可以化身一头不知疲倦的战争巨兽，撕碎更多的海兽。
而黑鲸呼吸法九阶极限之后，超凡力量也终于蜕变。
[鲸背（气态）：游天黑鲸之背，可承载山河大海，芸芸众生。黑气汇聚于你的背部，让你的背部力量得到强化提升！]
这便是鲸背的特效。
巨人强化双臂，红莲强化核心躯干，鸵山强化双腿，黑鲸强化背部。
Levi's back is broader and thicker than before, with devilish muscles twisted on it like black snakes coiled on it. There is a slight bulge in the middle of the back. This is the whale's back, angular, broad and powerful!
He could feel the surging power in his back with nowhere to go. So he leaned against the wall of the practice room, leaning against it with only two and a half seconds of strength, fearing that if he used more strength, the wall would explode.
boom!
The walls trembled.
"Iron Mountain Backrest! No, it should be called Whale Mountain Backrest!"
Levi gave this move a nice name.
"My strength has increased a lot, so I will be more calm when facing the tide of sea beasts next time. The Hunchback Dragon has reached its limit now, and it will be difficult to break it in the short term. The only breathing methods that I need to practice are Red Lotus, Phoenix, and Black Whale." Levi breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at himself in the mirror, black scales, frost arms, ostrich feet, flaming body, whale back, dragon spine, blood wings. Add the hump and the touch of the vampires sticking out of his chest, and a total of nine different monster features appeared on Levi.
“Strong is beautiful.”
Levi's face was calm, and in an instant, all these characteristics disappeared, returning to his original appearance.
With the Hundred Faces in his hands, as long as Levi wants to be handsome, he can become a handsome uncle like Earl Silver Mountain at any time, but that would be meaningless.
Being handsome or not is something only stupid mortals care about. Levi only cares about whether his fists are hard enough and whether he can survive in this world dominated by gods, powerful beings and wizards.
He walked out of the gray tower and saw the tired apprentices resting, taking drugs, and recovering their physical strength and spirit.
During this period, everyone's nerves were tense and they didn't dare to relax at all, even Levi.
Levi learned from Teacher Meilin that the tower master would be able to come out of seclusion next month.
By then, the three-ring wizard Hermann will be able to make his debut.
However, only a few official wizards and Levi knew about this news, and the apprentices were all kept in the dark.
After hearing this, Levi was completely relieved.
As a three-ring wizard, you can safely ride out this tide of sea monsters.
I just don’t know what the tower master will look like by then.
"Sanhuan, the lifespan starts from 500 years. In the human world, it is enough to witness the downfall and rise and fall of many families." Levi sighed.
Although he had advanced to the legendary level, he had no idea how much the legendary level had increased his lifespan.
Because the way of knights is not like that of wizards, which has a completely systematic theoretical system. The amount of life extension for each link has been continuously summarized and calculated by generations of wizards.
However, looking at the history of the Seven Kingdoms, those who could reach the level of Legendary Knights were rare. And many of these Legendary Knights died before they reached the end of their lives, and there was no communication between the Legendary Knights. Because generally speaking, there was only one Legendary Knight in an era, and it was difficult for there to be more legends.
Therefore, Levi didn't know how long the legendary knight could extend his life. However, it should not be difficult for a legendary knight to live for 200 years without any illness or disaster.
But Levi was not sure whether the lifespans of the legendary knight and the wizard could be superimposed, so Levi had always calculated his own lifespan based on the wizard's lifespan.
But it's too early to worry about these things now. Levi is not yet 40 years old, and there is still plenty of time to break through. In less than one or two years, Levi can advance to a formal wizard, and then, it can be regarded as a true journey of a wizard.
Levi patrolled the island and killed some remaining sea beasts. He also went to see Leviathan where he was hiding. Leviathan was currently safe and slept in an underwater cave all day. This also made Levi feel relieved. With Leviathan, he could run away at any time.
Three days later, another wave of sea beasts swept in. There were also no extraordinary sea beasts. Finally, with everyone's joint efforts, they resisted this wave of sea beasts.
But Levi could sense that after more than half a year of fierce fighting, everyone was exhausted, even Levi himself was a little numb. Although they were all low-level sea beasts, their numbers were too large and the trouble they caused to the Gray Tower was still not small.
The gray tower's Taishi reserves were also visibly decreasing. The second ring magic circle had been open for half a year and was burning money every moment.
But no one dared to let go. Once they did, it would take a lot of time to activate the magic circle again. By then, when the sea beasts came, it would be too late.
Without the protection of the magic circle, the wizard apprentice would not be able to resist for long against hundreds of sea beasts.
In the outside world, some wizarding organizations are not as lucky as the Gray Tower.
The second-ring wizard organization [Mangrove Hut] was destroyed by the attack of the powerful sea tribe.
The Mangrove Lodge is a second-ring wizard organization that is older than the Gray Tower. It has been established for more than 500 years. This organization even experienced the last sea beast tide and successfully survived. It is also possible that because this organization has experienced it, it did not take this sea beast tide seriously. In order to save Taishi, after persisting for a few months, the organization withdrew the magic circle barrier after feeling that the frequency of sea beast invasions decreased. Then, soon two sea clan generals led the sea clan and the sea beast army to flatten this organization. The leader of the organization, the second-ring wizard [Mangrove Sage], was killed on the spot by the two sea clan generals.
As the first second-ring organization to be destroyed in the sea beast tide, this undoubtedly sounded a warning bell for other second-ring organizations. With the experience and lessons of the mangrove hut, other organizations no longer dared to save money. The magic circle was open 24 hours a day. Many organizations without magic circles were trampled. I don’t know how many people were displaced and fled on the sea. But without ships and sea beast mounts, relying only on magic, how long can these people last on the sea?
The sea is the home turf of sea creatures and sea beasts!
In short, this tide of sea beasts dealt a heavy blow to the wizarding organization in this sea area.
On the Whale Song Island, under the all-weather protection of the second-ring magic circle [Blue Sea Curtain], the Whale Song Organization, which has ten official wizards and hundreds of wizard apprentices, stands tall. So far, there has been no casualties.
Morpheus felt cold inside as he watched these weak organizations fall one by one.
"If it weren't for the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council, these organizations would not be qualified to share this ocean with me. The law of the jungle is the truth." Morpheus thought.
…
The year 1024 of the Holy Hui Calendar, the month of harvest.
The sea beast disaster continued to wreak havoc, and looking across the entire Endless Sea, in more than half a year, there may be hundreds of wizard organizations that have been destroyed, but compared to the huge base of wizard organizations, this is nothing, and most of these destroyed organizations are first- and second-ring low-level wizard organizations. Only in the inner ring of the Endless Sea, there are a few third-ring wizard organizations that have been destroyed.
In general, this amount of casualties is within the expected range of the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council. The real big shots in the wizarding world don’t care about these “trivial” matters at all. What they are looking at is the overall situation of the entire wizard civilization.
However, for the low-level wizards of the Endless Sea who were unaware of the decisions of these bigwigs, the price of failing to survive the disaster of sea beasts was the loss of their organization or even their lives.
At the end of the harvest month, Levi received good news from Teacher Meilin.
The tower master Hermann came out and successfully completed the third ring.
