The Joestar family.
In the room, Dinos and Levi sat face to face.
"The Colin family, once a second-ring family, is now living in seclusion in the western Rogue Rift Valley of the Loess Continent, according to our investigation. It is very close to the Esidi family. Because our Joestar family has a bad relationship with the Esidi family, we cannot investigate the details."
"Thank you very much. It's enough to know where it is. It's the Rogue Rift Valley, right?" Levi said.
"That's right. Rogue Valley is always hit by strong winds of unknown origin. If you go there, you'd better prepare some windproof magic tools. Although the strong winds there are not as strong as those on the Endless Sea, they are still uncomfortable. However, with your legendary knight's body, I think it won't be a big deal.
The power of wind element is strong in the Great Rift Valley, and the Colin family is mainly composed of the Storm Faction, which should be why they settled here. "Dinos said.
"Thanks for the reminder." Levi expressed his sincere gratitude.
"Do you need me to send someone to go with you?" Dinos asked.
Li Wei thought about it, shook his head and said, "No, it's just a meeting with old friends, so I won't bother you."
"Well, sir, please be careful. If you need anything, just tell me." Dinos said.
After leaving Dinos, Levi returned to the hotel, took the clues found by the Joestar family, and examined them carefully.
In addition to clues about Colin's family, Levi was most concerned about clues about those supernatural creatures.
"Red Sand Ape, Earth-element affinity, first-ring supernatural creature, possesses spell-like abilities, such as Earth Mine and Sand Storm... Red Sand Ape usually gathers in tribes, and possesses the strength of a first ring when it grows up. Its intelligence is also quite high, so if you are not in a group, try not to provoke it. In addition, this supernatural creature has a chance of giving birth to mutant individuals, and when it grows up, it possesses strength close to a second ring... Red Sand Ape often appears in the Sea of Quicksand."
"The Red Fire Dragon Lizard is a solitary creature with an affinity for fire. When it grows up, it has the strength of a ring. Because of its mixed-blood dragon identity, it is generally stronger. It has spell-like abilities, such as Red Fire Breath and Rocket Magic... The Red Fire Dragon Lizard is elusive and difficult to find. The few sightings all show that it is in the Black Flame Mountains, which is the territory of the Aisidi family. If you are looking for it, you need to be careful."
"The Triceratops King Beast is a second-ring creature that once appeared in the Ancient Forest. It is a hybrid dragon and is very powerful. Only a second-ring wizard can defeat it. There are suspected third-ring extraordinary creatures in the Ancient Forest, which is a restricted area of the Loess Continent..."
Apart from the Red Sand Ape, Red Fire Lizard, and Triceratops, other extraordinary creatures cannot be found even with the ability of the Joestar family.
But Levi was already very satisfied.
The Red Sand Ape can practice the Holy Ape Breathing Method, while the Red Fire Dragon Lizard can practice the Red Lotus Breathing Method. The Triceratops King Beast naturally uses the Golden Snake Breathing Method, which is mainly used to stimulate the growth and evolution of the single horn on Levi's forehead.
Li Wei didn't consider the Triceratops King Beast for the time being. This thing was too strong. Even if he could beat it, he couldn't subdue it alive. If he killed it directly, it would not conform to his concept of sustainable development. It was not easy to find a second one on this loess continent.
"Then we should go after the Red Sand Ape and the Red Fire Dragon Lizard first. We can use the psychic spell to contract the Red Sand Ape, but we can only defeat the Red Fire Dragon Lizard first. We should find a way to capture it alive and imprison it first. Then we can slowly tame it with the dragon affinity and the heart of nature, just like we tamed Leviathan. It's just that this method will take a little longer."
Levi's psychic spell contracts have limited space, so he needs to plan well. For any half-dragon creatures, try not to waste their contract space.
Without further ado, the Quicksand Sea and the Black Flame Mountains are both in the west of the Loess Continent, still very far away from the Lion King City. After Levi and Dinos said goodbye, they left the Lion King City.
In the Golden Lion Castle, Leon said to Dinos: "Dinos, seize this opportunity. This man is definitely not simple. Although I don't want to admit it, judging from the chivalry he has shown and the knight characteristics you described before, this man has exceeded your great grandfather's description of your ancestor.
He is not an ordinary legendary knight. Since the death of our ancestor, our Golden Lion family has not produced a legendary knight for hundreds of years. This is not a good sign.
The Golden Lion blood in our bodies is becoming increasingly thinner. If this continues, one day, the Golden Lion blood in our bodies will slowly dissipate.
Although my father is a three-ring wizard, he is already old. Even though a three-ring wizard has a lifespan of nearly 500 years, my knight's peak blood and energy have long passed. It is almost impossible for me to set foot in the legend, and I have to worry about the development of my family.
But you are different, my child. Our ancestors, with generations of hard work, have paved the way for you. You have the talent of dual affinity. You will definitely shine on the path of wizards in the future. It is a sure thing that you will advance to the intermediate level!
Moreover, your talent as a knight is extraordinary. As long as you have the guidance of the legendary knight Levi, you may become the second legendary knight in our family and let the family's Golden Lion bloodline continue for hundreds of years.
In the future, you must remain humble, practice hard, and become a legendary knight and a second-ring wizard as soon as possible. Then you can marry more wives and concubines to help the family continue the bloodline of the Golden Lion and expand it. "
Leon said with deep emotion that the Golden Lion Family had a deep obsession with the legendary knight.
"Don't worry, father. With the guidance of Lord Levi, I will definitely become a legend within ten years!" Dinos was confident. He had seen how powerful Levi was.
…
Five days later.
Levi has arrived at the first stop of his destination, which is the Rogue Rift Valley. He must first find the people of Colin's family. After all, the task of the tower master is time-limited and cannot be delayed.
The Rogue Rift Valley is about two thousand miles long from east to west. There are strong winds blowing here all year round, with flying sand and rocks, just like a sandstorm.
Therefore, the visibility in this rift is very low. Fortunately, Levi relies on his snake tongue and top-level perception to explore. Although these winds have an impact on him, the impact is not significant.
The high-speed wind hit the sand on Levi's body, making crackling sounds.
If it were an ordinary wizard, without any windproof magic device or protective force field, such a strong wind would be enough to cause physical injuries to them.
Levi used his perception to search directly from one end of the rift to the other end.
In this strong wind, his flying was greatly affected, so he simply landed. Fortunately, he was running quite fast.
Unknown creatures would appear in Levi's biological radar from time to time. He would avoid them if he could. If he couldn't avoid them, Levi would have to kill them.
Half a day later.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and Levi estimated that it had reached the level of a Category 3 gale.
Although he could resist, it was a waste of energy because the wind was against him, so he simply hid in a cave in the mountains to rest.
The wind is regular, it weakens every once in a while, then strengthens again, over and over again.
"This place is really not a place for human beings to live. The Colin family is so cruel to settle here." Levi couldn't help but complain.
But to be honest, the power of the wind element here is indeed much stronger, almost reaching the level of level two.
Unfortunately, Levi has not yet practiced the Storm Faction's meditation method. He now has too many meditation methods. It will not be too late to practice it after he acquires the talent of affinity with the wind element.
When the strong wind died down a little, Levi was just about to go out when he felt two auras fighting not far away, one of which belonged to a wizard and the other to a supernatural creature.
"It's probably someone from Colin's family. I'll go take a look." Levi had an idea and walked out of the cave. Not long after he walked, a figure was swept by the strong wind and blew directly towards Levi.
He waved his hand and grabbed the man, who was a wizard apprentice. He looked young, less than 20 years old, and had only the strength of an average wizard apprentice.
This man was unconscious at this moment. Levi looked forward and saw a supernatural snake creature wandering in the strong wind.
"Wind Snake, the strength of a high-level wizard apprentice."
Levi had previously investigated information about the extraordinary creatures in the Great Rift Valley.
This ungrateful guy rushed directly towards Levi. Levi did not move. The wind snake hit Levi's body. The black gold scales hummed and the wind snake saw stars in pain. Levi grabbed the snake's tail with his other big hand.
Bang bang bang!
Three times.
The Wind Snake was smashed into mud by Levi. After Levi took some useful materials, he burned the corpse.
Then he came into the cave. The middle-level wizard apprentice woke up after a while and looked at the strange man who was staring at him.
"Am I being chased by the Wind Snake..." He obviously hasn't figured out the situation yet.
"I saved you." Levi said with a smile.
When the wizard apprentice heard this and felt the powerful mental fluctuations emanating from Levi, he knew that this was an official wizard, as powerful as the current head of the Colin family.
He thanked him quickly, "Thank you, Master Wizard. My name is McKen, and I am a wizard apprentice of the Colin family. I... I don't have anything valuable on me, so I don't know how to thank you."
At this point, McKeon blushed and felt embarrassed.
“你是柯林家族的?巧了,我正是要去柯林家族的,感谢就不必了,你区区学徒,也拿不出我感兴趣的东西。”李维露出微笑,说道。
他通过这样的对话,慢慢的让这个看起来不谙世事的巫师学徒放下了戒备,然后也从对方那里了解到了柯林家族的一些情况。
至于秘境的事情,李维没提,这肯定是柯林家族中的高层才知道的事情,这样的菜鸟百分百不知道,提了反而可能打草惊蛇。
“家主是一环资深巫师,还有两位一环的正式巫师,瘦死的骆驼比马大啊,或者说有秘境这样的资源点,这柯林家族即便是没落了,也依旧比我想象的略强一点,不过还在我掌控范围内。”李维内心自语。
被李维救下的这个年轻巫师麦肯,似乎在家族里面备受排挤,所以他不得不在大裂谷之中试图猎杀一些超凡生物,去附近的巫师集市换点修行资源。
因为他已故的祖奶奶,是家族中的一个争议人物的亲妹妹,这个争议人物,就是“斯黛拉·柯林”。
而斯黛拉,正是塔主已故的亡妻。
柯林家族曾经是一个很大的家族,身为二环巫师组织,自然有其的傲气,斯黛拉却不顾家族的反对,门不当户不对的跟着当时来黄土大陆游历的混小子赫尔曼跑了!
要知道,当时家族已经承诺要将斯黛拉许配给炎王艾西迪家族的一位天才巫师,而那位天才巫师,正是如今艾西迪家族的族长,三环巫师雷曼,外号“火焰王子”。
柯林家族当时在黄土大陆也是有头有脸的势力,虽然比不上瓦乌姆,艾西迪,乔斯达三大巨头,但家里面好几位二环巫师,也是风光无限。
斯黛拉这种行为直接让柯林家族颜面扫地。
而当时的塔主,只不过是二环巫师组织灰白之塔的一个学徒罢了。
钱,实力,地位,他都没有,就连巫师天赋,也很普通。
后来,柯林家族多次要求斯黛拉回家族被拒,便亲自派人前去灰白之塔,被当时的初代塔主萨尔曼赶了回来。柯林家族也不能因为一个斯黛拉发动二环巫师战争,只能作罢。
毫无办法的柯林家族将斯黛拉逐出家族,列为禁忌,任何人不得在家族中提起,后面更是因为艾西迪家族的明着暗着打压,逐渐没落。
毕竟虽然柯林家族坐拥一个小型秘境入口,可是这个秘境两百年才开启一次,不是他们想开就能开的,上一次开启收集的资源,在这两百年间,已经快消耗殆尽了。
搞清楚了柯林家族的一些情况后,李维在麦肯这个领路人的带领下,很容易的就来到了柯林家族所在地。
这里位于一个极为隐蔽的山谷中,里面的风力相对小一些,而且外面似乎还有法阵庇护和遮掩踪迹。
如果不是这小子带路,李维想要找到,可能还真的有点麻烦。
麦肯来到山谷入口的大阵处,这里有几位巫师学徒看守。
“麻烦让我进去,这位是我的救命恩人,李维阁下。”麦肯说道。
守卫看到李维,感受到一环巫师的压力,不由得面色一冷,瞪着麦肯,似乎在责怪麦肯随便带陌生人回家族。
“拿出你的会员证,我需要核实你的身份。”守卫对着李维说道,应该是害怕李维是黑巫师,那样无异于引狼入室。
李维拿出会员证展示了一番后,那个守卫脸立马变了,就连麦肯也不由得呆住。
“灰白之塔的人?”
李维面带微笑,说道:“是的,怎么了?”
他其实就料到如果对方核查自己身份,可能会介意自己灰白之塔的身份,不过他还是抱有一丝希望。
“阁下请回吧,柯林家族不欢迎灰白之塔的人。”守卫说道。
“李维大人是我的救命恩人,他只是来这里面做做客,为什么不让他进去。”麦肯无语。
李维深吸一口气,平静下来,如果可以和平解决的话,还是晓之以情,动之以理比较好,动手动脚不是李维的风格。他是遵纪守法的好公民,不是什么法外狂徒黑巫师……
“我只是找柯林家族的族长谈一些合作,没必要这么着急拒绝吧。”李维说道,属于一环资深巫师的气势散发出来,强大的精神波动扫过那个守卫。
“回去吧,我们柯林家族虽然如今没落了,但也不是你一个一环巫师可以撼动的。”守卫有恃无恐,冷笑道。
“那就是没得谈喽?”李维声音变冷,面色阴沉,犹如蓄势待发的毒蛇。
守卫被李维的气势吓得不敢吱声,而后一想到自己背后是柯林家族在撑腰,颤抖着说道:“你等着,我去叫族长。由他来定夺。”
他真怕眼前这个人一怒之下把自己给杀了,自己不过是个看大门的,还是不要这么拼命了。
没多久,一位蓝袍巫师驾驭一件和风筝差不多的一环巫器,来到了门口,他正是柯林家族如今的族长,在看到李维之后,他眯着眼说道:“我是道恩·柯林,不知道阁下来我柯林家族所为何事?”
李维笑道:“我想和你们谈一下合作。”
道恩想了想,平静说道:“那请进来谈吧。”
在自己家族大本营,难不成还怕一个一环巫师不成?
更何况,柯林家族本身也是合法的巫师组织,受到泛位面巫师议会的保护。
柯林家族的会客厅,李维也见到了柯林家族另外两位一环巫师,一男一女,他们面色不善的望着李维。
“说吧,阁下想谈什么合作?”
道恩问道。
“我听说柯林家族掌握了一个小型秘境的入口,不到两个月就要开启了,我想让阁下开个价,让我也进去一趟。”李维说道。
听到这里,道恩等人面色微变,然后很好的掩饰住了,不过还是被李维给察觉到了,看来秘境一事儿是真的。
“阁下请回吧,我们这里没有秘境。”道恩说道。
“道恩阁下,如果黄土大陆上的三大世家知道在柯林这样一个小小的家族手里面有一个秘境入口,你说他们会怎么做?”李维不慌不忙的问道。
三大世家可没有一个是善良之辈,就算是金狮子家族,既然可以这么快的白手起家,发展起来,手上没有鲜血李维是不相信的,只不过是自己对他们有恩,所以才厚待自己罢了。
虽然泛位面巫师议会的法案有一定的威慑作用,可是以三大世家的身为黄土大陆地头蛇的手段,想要钻法律漏洞,明着暗着把秘境抢过来,肯定不难。
尤其是艾西迪家族,早就觊觎柯林家族了,柯林家族没落如此的快,少不了艾西迪家族暗中作梗。
只要李维把这个消息泄露出去,就算是柯林家族没有秘境,其他势力也肯定不会信。
听到这里,道恩也算是慌了。
“八千太石一张门票,并且签订保密协议,否则就算是鱼死网破,将秘境献给瓦乌姆家族,我也不会让你得逞的。”道恩面色坚定的说道。
这个时候,那个一环女巫师忽然说道:“族长,不可啊,秘境是我们柯林家族祖传之物,岂能让外人进入?”
道恩望向她,冷声道:“那你说该如何办?琳达。”
琳达女巫一时间语塞,也不知道如何回应,只能眼神狠狠的盯着李维。
李维内心冷笑,看来这柯林家族似乎内部也不是铁板一块啊。
“没问题,签订契约吧,道恩族长是识大局之人。”李维露出微笑,赞赏道。
钱不是问题,反正回去让塔主给报销。只要可以和平解决,让自己进入秘境,那就可以了。
李维虽然有武力可以解决柯林家族,可是泛位面巫师议会那一关不好过。
道恩看到李维如此有恃无恐,内心已经知道,这李维肯定是代表灰白之塔的赫尔曼而来。
要不然这李维区区一环巫师,不可能如此有钱。
要知道,八千太石,对于柯林家族来说,都不是小数目。
所以他才报了这样一个数字,那样就算是李维从秘境中得到了不少好处,但是也绝对不可能超过八千,柯林家族稳赚不赔。
柯林家族是掌握了秘境入口。但是以他们家族的力量,完全没办法真正开荒秘境,每次都是在边缘安全地带收集一些资源就回来,基本上不会涉足资源丰富的内部核心区域。
而秘境的开启时间,只有七天,七天时间,李维这个一环巫师能找到多少值钱的东西?
在古代,即便是小型秘境,也是需要一个中阶巫师组织才有能力真正开荒的。
秘境里面,可是存在一些特有的超凡生物,个个都是古代异种,实力强大,就算是柯林家族鼎盛时期,也没有全部将这些危险因素给清理。
所以,这样一想,道恩忽然感觉不亏了,便和李维拟好了契约。
“到时候记得准时来,过期不候。”道恩说道,内心满意的收起太石。
After signing the contract slate, Levi was not worried that Dawn would default on his debt, so he left the Colin family, found a secluded place in the Great Rift Valley, and set up a set of defensive magic arrays.
He had to hurry up and practice. Just like the strange realm, there could be dangers in the secret realm.
It hasn't been opened for two hundred years, who knows what will be born inside? So the more powerful it is, the better.
Levi's practice was also planned. He planned to focus on practicing the newly acquired "Sky Eagle Breathing Method".
Because two months is not enough time for a breakthrough in other breathing methods or meditation methods, but if I focus on the "Sky Eagle Breathing Method", I might be able to push it to the limit before entering the secret realm!
A few days later.
Western Loess Continent.
Skyfire City.
This is a city built by the Aisidi family. It is known as one of the three major cities in the Loess Continent along with Lion King City and Fengliu City.
Inside the wizard tower of the Aisidi family patriarch.
Patriarch Leiman narrowed his eyes at this moment, seeming to be in deep thought.
A first-ring wizard wearing a special black robe was now crawling in front of him.
This first-ring wizard raised his head. If Levi saw it, he would find that this was the first-ring female wizard who was in the council hall of Colin's family a few days ago.
Now Lehman is also calculating in his heart.
The woman in front of him rushed to the Aisidi family overnight and told Leiman an important thing.
The Colin family has a secret place.
"Your family is really good at hiding things, but you are quite sensible. Since you have sincerely joined our Aisidi family, I will naturally not treat you unfairly. Here are ten spirit-nourishing potions, take them. As long as you help me take over the secret realm and the Colin family, you will never have to worry about the auxiliary meditation potion in the future, and your advancement to the first-level senior level is just around the corner." Leiman smiled with narrowed eyes, his mouth corners raised.
"Thank you, Lord Lehman! The Colin family is already at the end of its rope, and Dawn is even weaker, threatened by an outsider. That Levi from the Gray Tower must have been sent by that old dog Herman, and he has bad intentions." Linda said.
When Leiman heard this, he seemed to recall the past two hundred years ago when Stella refused to marry into his family and eloped with that wild boy Hermann.
He heard that Herman had also advanced to the third ring some time ago, which made Leiman unhappy for a long time.
It's just that the two sides are too far apart, so it's difficult for him to do anything small. But since Hermann's apprentice came to him on his own accord, don't blame Lehman for being ruthless.
In this Loess Continent, doesn’t he, the Prince of Fire, do whatever he wants?
Thinking of this, he asked Linda to step down and let her return to the Colin family to continue playing her role.
He stood on the wizard tower, looking towards the direction of Lion King City in the east of the continent. His face showed a confidence that he was in control of everything, and he couldn't help but talk to himself:
"With the strength of my Aisidi family, we can definitely reap rich rewards by exploring the secret realm. With the support of the secret realm resources, what can you, the golden lion, use to fight me?"
…
Nearly two months later.
A cave somewhere in the Rogue Rift Valley.
Li Weixi finished the last Sky Eagle Breathing Method and opened his eyes. There was a bright light in his eyes.
He walked out of the cave and looked towards the sandstorm. The distance that he once needed to use vibration perception to explore was now suddenly clear in his eyes. Amid the yellow sand, he could clearly see a wind snake twenty miles away.
His world is clearer than ever before.
This is an absolute sublimation of vision, because just today, Levi has practiced the Sky Eagle Breathing Method to the limit, and has developed top-level vision.
He spread his wings and flew high into the sky, thousands of feet high. At such a high altitude, Eagle Eyes could play a greater role.
Levi's eyes are as sharp as an eagle's, seeing through everything.
Levi could see everything within a radius of dozens of miles, even the ants on the ground, how many segments of their bodies they had, and how many legs they had.
Levi opens the proficiency panel:
Levi——
Sky Eagle Breathing Method: Level 7 (Extreme), Special Effect: Top Vision
