After returning to the hotel.
Levi took out the Rowling crystal and wanted to see if there were any changes in his blood.
[Unknown mythical creature bloodline 1%...]
"Sure enough, because King Kong was created by the fusion of the Holy Ape and the Giant, it is not included in the crystal database. The Golden Snake can at least be analyzed as a dragon creature, but this one can only be given a general classification as a [Mythological Creature]."
"According to the classification of supernatural beings by the School of Life, all supernatural beings can be divided into the first to ninth rings. The ninth ring is also called the [Legendary Creature], which is almost at the same level as the [Great Wizard]. Above the ninth ring are the [Mythical Creature], which is comparable to the [Legendary Wizard].
“So in theory, the theoretical growth limit of the Diamond Bloodline should be at the level of mythical creatures. Of course, it is also possible that it is higher than mythical creatures. After all, mythical creatures are only the highest level in the cognition of wizards, and it is an upper limit set by wizards.”
Levi put away the crystal, and as the Vajra Breathing Technique broke through its limits, he moved towards the twelfth level, his four major power breathing technique system.
Red Lotus, Black Whale, King Kong, and Ostrich Mountain have taken shape.
However, the Ostrich Mountain Breathing Technique is still at the eleventh level limit, and Levi has not yet broken it.
He planned to wait and see if he could come across a perfect quality breathing method that enhanced leg strength, and then imitate the giant and the holy ape to create a new variant type of breathing method.
In general, the variant types of breathing techniques seem to be more powerful.
The next day.
Levi wandered aimlessly on the street like a scoundrel.
He was very curious. With his perception range, if there were vampires or other monsters in Wanlong City, it should be impossible for them to escape his perception.
So far, Levi has not sensed any breath of monster.
In this situation, there are only two possibilities.
The monsters are either not in the city at all.
Or the monster is in the place in the center of Wanlong City that he has never explored.
Thinking of this, Levi looked towards the location of the Dragon God Church.
Fearing the church's background, Levi would deliberately avoid the church whenever he sensed it.
In his opinion, most monsters hiding in the church would be seeking their own death.
However, the possibility that the most dangerous place is also the safest place cannot be ruled out.
"The vampires have the ability to change their appearance at will. Maybe they really are hiding in the church." Levi murmured in his heart.
His next plan was to focus on the area surrounding the church to see if he could find any clues.
Six days later, it was late at night and no one was around.
Levi was practicing, and suddenly he opened his eyes.
"A suspicious person has appeared."
These days, he has been keeping a close eye on the church.
Finally found some clues.
He observed that there was a person who would leave the church and go out of the city alone in the middle of the night every once in a while.
And this person is none other than the Bishop of the Dragon God Church in Wanlong City, Bancroft!
"It's strange. I didn't sense any blood clan aura at all."
Levi had also come into contact with vampires, and his Golden Snake Letter also stored the breath of vampires.
Although the aura of each vampire individual is slightly different, with Levi's perception, he should be able to detect it.
Unless this bishop is not a vampire, or he possesses extremely advanced skills to conceal his aura.
Levi had an idea and was about to go out to follow the bishop.
At this time, another figure sneaked out of the church.
This made Levi pause temporarily.
The figure was tall and strong, and appeared to be a knight. Levi had seen this knight during this period.
He is the leader of the Holy Dragon Knights stationed in Wanlong City, a strong man of similar level to the White Horse Knight, and one step away from becoming a legendary knight.
His name seems to be Hogg, and he is almost the strongest person in Wanlong City and even in the Dongji Empire. His status is similar to that of the former Fist of the Empire.
This captain often patrols the city with the Holy Dragon Knights, so Levi is quite familiar with him.
From the information Levi had obtained, Hogg had a very good reputation among the people and was a very prestigious and powerful man.
One was a bishop, and the other was the head of a knightly order. They both sneaked out of the church in the middle of the night and headed out of the city.
This behavior is very suspicious.
After waiting for a while, no one else showed up.
Levi's figure disappeared into the night.
…
Outside Wanlong City.
The bishop's figure advanced in the night, his steps became faster and faster, and soon he disappeared into the dark forest ahead.
Not long after, Knight Hogg also appeared at the edge of the Black Forest.
His eyes were calm and his face was firm.
He has been ordered to investigate the truth behind the evil spirits wreaking havoc in Wanlong City.
However, after he went through untold hardships and put together all the clues he had collected, he discovered that these clues actually pointed to a person he had never suspected before.
The bishop of the Dragon God Church in Wanlong City!
Lord Bancroft!
The headquarters of the Dragon God Church is not in Wanlong City, but in the high Dragon King Mountain.
However, Bishop Bancroft's status is among the highest among all the bishops of the Dragon God Church.
Such a Bishop of Wanlong City who is revered by believers and knights, and a big shot who can chat and laugh with the Lord of the Dongji Empire in the palace, may actually be the mastermind behind the recent evil spirit incident in Wanlong City.
This was unacceptable to Hogg.
But after his repeated investigations.
He knew that the truth might be like this.
He thought about it, secretly sent a gathering signal to the members of the Knights, and finally decided to follow and see.
The Black Forest is boundless, deep and mysterious.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the bishop arrived at the entrance of a dark cave.
The place was shaded by dense bushes, with bats occasionally flying in and out.
The bishop looked nervous, and then stepped in.
The entrance of the cave doesn't look big, but the cave is very deep. The further you go inside, the more cramped the space becomes, and there are pale corpses everywhere along the way.
The bishop walked for a long time and came to an underground cave full of stalactites.
He looked up and saw that the stone wall was densely covered with black bats. The bats' eyes emitted a green glow, which was extremely creepy.
In an underground blood pool in the cave, animal skeletons can be seen everywhere, and even various human skeletons, including adults and children, soaked in blood.
The bloody smell filled the space. In the pool of blood, there were two bloody monsters floating in it, motionless, and it was unclear whether they were dead or alive.
"You are here, Bishop Bancroft, my old friend. Have you brought me any delicious desserts?" A hoarse voice echoed in the cave.
The bishop looked around but saw no one.
His forehead was covered in cold sweat and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
"Lord Yasat, I have fulfilled our agreement. During the time you were awake, you also enjoyed the delicious blood food I provided. I think you should fulfill your promise. Don't forget that you swore by the will of the Blood River." The bishop said bravely.
"My friend, have you made up your mind?" A tall and thin blood-red figure appeared behind the bishop, and his long nails gently stroked the bishop's back.
The bishop felt a chill on his back and turned his head sharply, and saw the bloody monster that looked like a skinned corpse looking at him with a half-smile.
"I've made up my mind. I want to become a vampire." The bishop swallowed and said firmly.
"Are you ready to betray the King of Ten Thousand Dragons whom you believe in?" Yasat sneered.
"Apart from power and money, believing in the King of Ten Thousand Dragons has not brought me any substantial benefits. In this era, without power, the former two are all illusions. I am willing to become a member of the blood clan and join the camp of the Blood River Will." said the bishop, who had obviously already thought it through.
"It's not easy to join the vampire clan. Your test is not over yet. In the next month, I want the blood of ten delicious and fresh children, preferably virgins under the age of fourteen. This is the most exquisite delicacy in the world." Yasat's voice echoed in the ears of the bishop. The native vampire licked his lips and showed a cruel smile.
"What? Ten virgins? Asat, although our contract stipulates that I will provide you with blood food, you are going too far! Although I, Bancroft, am not a good person, I cannot do such a conscienceless thing!"
The bishop's face twitched and he couldn't help but question.
After he accidentally came into contact with this legendary immortal vampire, he became very eager for the power of the vampires.
So, he made a deal with the native vampire, Asat Lesenba. He was responsible for secretly providing blood food to Asat with his own power, and Asat would give his first embrace to himself.
In order to prevent the other party from turning against him, the bishop used his knowledge of mysticism to make Asat swear an oath to the will of the Blood River.
As far as he knew, no vampire could swear an oath to the will of the Blood River casually, and once a blood oath was made, it must be fulfilled.
Every native vampire has only one chance to be embraced for the first time, and the one who is embraced for the first time will become the first generation of the secondary vampire.
The first generation of secondary vampires can also turn an ordinary person into a second generation of secondary vampires.
The bishop's idea was to first transform himself into a first-generation secondary vampire, and then transform his bloodline descendants into second-generation secondary vampires.
By analogy, your own family can become an extraordinary family.
Of course, this kind of chain cannot exceed four generations.
除非作为源头的原生血族十分强大，普通的原生血族，都是以四代为限。
但不管怎么样，成为血族家族不比传统的骑士家族强多了？
都什么年代了，还在修行传统呼吸法？
不需要修行呼吸法，就可以获得堪比大骑士的力量，可以轻易的活几百年，可以做到血肉重生，而付出的代价不过是讨厌阳光，需要吸食人血而已。
比起成为血族的好处，这点代价可以忽略不计。
他担任教会主教这些年吸那些信徒和万龙城子民的血汗，可比成为血族吸的这点人血多多了。
自始至终，主教都不认为自己是一个道德高尚的人。
道德高尚的人谁当主教啊？
所以，变成血族，他早就考虑好了。
“我的老朋友，这是最后一次了，只要你完成这次考验，我就可以将你转变为你梦寐以求的血族，你将会拥有凡人难以想象的寿元。我都以血河意志起誓了，我会欺骗你吗？”亚萨特露出瘆人的微笑，轻轻说道。
主教内心挣扎，而后冷声说道：“可以，亚萨特，这次最后一次了。如果你再食言，或者说想要害我，那我留下的后手，会立马将这血族巢穴的位置泄露给龙神教会总部。
到时候，这片巢穴，将会被总部的转世圣者带着封印圣物彻底踏平，你也不想眼睁睁的看着你那些还在血池中沉睡的同胞在睡梦中死亡吧……”
亚萨特听着主教语句中的威胁之意，并没有生气。
他堂堂原生血族，又岂会在意小面包的威胁。
人类，只是血族的小面包而已，自古以来便是。
“好了，我的朋友，你该离开了，貌似有一些小面包来看望你了。”亚萨特裂起嘴角，意味深长的望向洞口位置，露出嗜血的表情。
主教转身，准备离开的时候，发现远方的出口处，一队队身穿圣龙铠甲的骑士陆陆续续的出现在那里，将这个血族巢穴团团围住。
这些骑士个个人高马大，最弱的都是中阶骑士实力，其中更是有好几位大骑士级别的强者。
所有人，都难以置信的望着他们的班克罗夫特主教，这位在他们看来平易近人的主教，居然暗中勾结血族。
霍格骑士黑气缭绕，他的身躯宛如燃烧的灰烬组成一样，炭黑色和炽焰色交织，散发着灼热的气息。
他的双眼之中，也有火焰在燃烧，那是名为愤怒的火焰。
“主教大人，您背叛了龙王，忤逆龙王者，应当受到圣龙制裁！”霍格摇着头，叹气说道。
“霍格？”主教面色一变。
而后他继续说道：“你不该来的，因为你不光害死了你自己，你还害死了圣龙骑士团的这些小伙子，你们不可能是亚萨特的对手。”
主教的身后，血色人影亚萨特疯狂的流着口水：“好多强大的血食，虽然有些老了，但是口感丰富，倒也不错，既然你们主动送上门来，那我亚萨特也不能客气了。”
霍格骑士平静地说道：“我或许会死，但是在死之前，可以为龙王铲除叛徒，找到这万龙城血族的老巢，我就心满意足了。”
“圣龙骑士们！听我怒吼！随我冲锋！”
霍格长剑指天，口中喷出炽热的烟柱，犹如一头即将吐息的灭世巨龙。
“蚍蜉撼树，不自量力！”
亚萨特身影陡然加速，他仿佛血色幽灵一样，直接冲进了骑士团中间。
骑士们的战阵顷刻间就被冲破，在原生血族的绝对碾压之力面前。
所谓的圣龙骑士团，除了那几位大骑士之外，只不过是土鸡瓦狗。
霍格的眼中，只有那趁着混乱准备溜走的主教。
他直接冲到了主教面前，主教虽然也是位大骑士，可是年岁已高，实力早就不行了。
在霍格的恐怖袭击之下，这位主教瞬间败下阵来，被霍格取了人头。
主教机关算尽，最终也没有成为血族。
而后，霍格朝着亚萨特杀去。
亚萨特的身躯炸开，化作一团浓郁的血雾，在洞穴之中乱窜。
凡是被血雾触及的骑士，都在不久后化为干尸。
“有勇气的小面包也是小面包，并没有什么区别。”
血雾之中，传来了亚萨特的嘲笑讥讽。
霍格黑气缠绕长剑！
他奋不顾身的冲杀过去！
他亲眼看着一位位骑士团的成员倒下。
没有多久，整个洞窟，就只剩下自己一个人了。
霍格还是低估了血族的恐怖，即便是自己的大骑士战友，在原生血族面前，都如此的脆弱不堪。
他陷入深深的自责，是他害死了这些忠诚的骑士们！
“怪物被杀也会死！灰湮十字斩！”
他没有丝毫畏惧，祖传的强大剑技爆发，散发着灰芒的十字斩剑光划过虚空，将血雾斩乱散去！
血雾里面传来了亚萨特的闷哼声。
霍格利用黑气给血雾造成了不错的伤害。
亚萨特现出身形，胸口居然有一道道黑气缭绕的伤口，无数灰烬附着在伤口上，阻止伤口的愈合。
霍格喘着粗气，望着这恐怖的血族。
即便是自己全力出手，也只能造成这样微不足道的伤口了吗……
霍格内心不由得悲哀，人类还有希望吗？
他几乎已经走到了骑士之路的顶点，就算是传奇骑士，他自信自己也能和对方过十几招而不败。
可是即便是这样，也不能杀死对方。
难道，这怪物真的是不死不灭的吗？
“身为人类，居然可以伤到我，哈哈哈，我亚萨特愿称你为传奇骑士之下的最强凡人！
但是，天真的小面包啊，就算是传奇骑士来了，也不是我的对手，我可不是那些次生血族水货可以比拟的。
人类再强，不成巫师，终究是凡人！”
亚萨特身影凝形，血河虚影在背后浮现，恐怖的原生血族真身彻底显露无遗，一尊高达四米的畸形血肉怪物出现，佝偻着身躯，流着口水。
怪物狂笑，化作血光，巨大血爪拍飞霍格骑士。
铠甲变形撕裂，霍格骑士的胸口，出现了一道深深的爪印，无数的灰烬在他的周身飞舞，快速的治愈着他的伤势。
“有意思，不错的自愈能力。”亚萨特笑道，恐怖的利爪攻击一次比一次凶猛。
霍格骑士的速度比起亚萨特差远了，根本没办法躲开。
他一次次的被利爪拍飞，身上的伤口越来越多，他的自愈能力已经跟不上伤口的出现速度了。
“太弱了，太弱了！”亚萨特疯狂的攻击着霍格。
霍格犹如断线的风筝，被亚萨特在空中连续暴击，最终轰的一声落在洞口的石壁上。
“咳咳……这么久都没有杀死一位凡人，所谓的血族，也不过如此啊。”
霍格无力的靠在石壁上，露出释然的笑容。
他骨骼断裂，鲜血直流，整个人奄奄一息，已然重伤。
“嘴硬的小面包。”亚萨特表面上古井无波，内心也是微微震惊。
这个人类的意志力和体质，比他想象的要强很多，在给他一些时间，说不定他可以成为传奇骑士。
“结束了。”亚萨特轰的加速，他的胳膊变成了一柄血刀，要将霍格碎尸万段。
砰的一声。
亚萨特仿佛撞在了什么硬物身上。
他整个人被弹飞出去，落在地上。
他望向前方，一道魁梧的身影挡在了霍格骑士的面前，不动如山。
这是一个身材匀称的银发中年人，络腮胡，颇有种大气阳刚之美。
他似乎什么都没有做，就是站在了那里，就挡住了自己的恐怖攻击。
“他算最强凡人，那我算什么呢？”李维嘴角上扬，淡淡问道。
“你……你是什么人？这不可能！”亚萨特面色疯狂，再度冲上去。
他宛如狂风暴雨一样的攻击全部倾泻在这个银发中年人的身上。
利爪和血刀似乎砍在了钢铁之躯上，火花四溅，发出金铁交鸣的声音。
李维一动不动，站着让这位原生血族打了一百下。
亚萨特气喘吁吁，他望着眼前这个人类，这个人类的衣物已经碎裂，露出那满是暗金色鳞片的身躯。
亚萨特的那些攻击，只是在暗金色鳞片上留下了一道道轻微的划痕，然后这些划痕又迅速的愈合。
也就是说，他完全没有破掉这个人的防御！
这怎么可能！
他亚萨特可是高贵的原生血族！
怎么可能有人类可以抵挡自己的攻击。
就算是传奇骑士，也不可能抵挡自己的攻击。
而看这个人的手段也不是巫师！
“你不是人！你是什么怪物？！”
亚萨特惊恐的问道，这个人肯定不是人，而是某种超出自己认知之外的强大怪物！
有可能是蜥蜴人或者龙裔！
他感受到了恐惧。
上一次有这种感觉，还是在百年前，他无意间招惹了一位隐藏在人间的巫师。
可是眼前这个男人，看起来完全不像是巫师，也并没有动用法术。
他是用自己的肉身，抵挡住了一位原生血族的攻击。
“妈的，你才是怪物！你全家都是怪物！老子是人！”
Levi's defense was broken, and he flew into a rage.
His figure suddenly disappeared and turned into blood light.
He hates it most when people call him a monster!
I, Levi, am a purebred human with 100% human blood!
Before Yasat could react, Levi's big hand had already tightly grasped Yasat's neck.
The violent black energy completely imprisoned him, and Asat was clamped by Levi's tremendous force and could not move.
As a bloodthirsty knight, it was naturally easy for Levi to deal with a lowest-level native vampire.
He took out the Soul Binding Ring and chanted the spell.
An illusory circle emerged from the soul-binding ring.
Then it fell between Asat's eyebrows and was wrapped around his soul.
Soon, Asat stopped struggling.
Levi put him down, and Asat lowered his head and bowed to Levi.
This is a sign that the Soul Binding Ring has successfully enforced the contract.
Levi directly asked Asat to stay in the insect house.
He felt delighted. He didn't expect that it would be so easy to contract a native vampire.
"The native vampires who were once so terrifying to me are now only so powerful," Levi said with emotion.
Times have changed. Now, except for the hidden power of the church, it can be said that he is basically invincible in the world.
Levi looked at the corpses all over the ground and couldn't help but sigh.
Although he could have rescued these people in advance, he did not have a good impression of the church.
So he chose to take action last.
The reason why he saved Knight Hogg was naturally because he was impressed by his breathing method and sword skills.
When Levi was watching the battle secretly, he discovered that this Knight Hogg should have practiced some powerful physical breathing method similar to the Phoenix Breathing.
Not only does it have the ability to heal itself, it can also prevent others from healing themselves.
This breathing method is really fucking amazing!
This breathing method belongs to Levi!
So he rescued Hogg.
Hogg was shocked at this moment, and his mind was filled with the scene of Asat being subdued by that man in one move.
As the strongest man in the Dongji Empire, the man closest to a legendary knight.
He knew how powerful Asat was. Even the legendary knight might not be Asat's opponent.
But Yasat was completely unable to fight back in front of this middle-aged silver-haired man. This gap seemed to be even greater than the gap between him and Yasat. After all, he could at least break Yasat's defense.
Levi came over, took a look at Hogg's injuries, and then said straight to the point: "I don't like beating around the bush. I saved you for a reason. Give me your breathing method inheritance map and sword skills, and I can save you."
This is the confidence that comes from strong strength. There is no need to go around in circles, just ask for it and it will be done!
Hogg was stunned. He obviously didn't expect the man in front of him to be so simple, rude and undisguised.
Then he smiled bitterly and said, "My inheritance diagram is in my family. What do you want our family's breathing inheritance diagram for?"
"I'm just collecting a rubbing. I will return the only copy to you." Levi said calmly.
"Okay, King of Ten Thousand Dragons, I, Hogg, agree to the conditions proposed by you." Hogg collapsed on the ground and swore to the sky.
"I have no faith, and I don't believe in so-called oaths. This is a contract slate, and you must not have even a thought of resisting from now on.
I will extract a portion of your spiritual power and make a mark on you, and then we will form a contract. If you violate the terms of the contract, your soul will be shattered and you will die!"
Levi took out a contract slate. Although it was used to regulate contracts between wizards, it could also work on mortals.
But although mortals also have mental power, they obviously cannot condense the imprint of mental power on their own.
Therefore, mortals need to actively cooperate in order for Levi to extract mental power to form an imprint.
After thinking for a while, Hogg nodded and said, "It seems that I have no choice now."
In this way, Levi successfully signed an unequal contract with Hogg. In this contract, only Hogg had obligations, and Levi had no obligations.
"As long as you don't violate the contract and honestly bring me what I want, nothing will happen to you."
Levi gave Hogg a healing potion that he had made, and then said, "I will stay in Wanlong City for a few days. Remember to bring the inheritance map and sword skills to me. If you try to play any tricks through the church, you will regret it. Knight Hogg, the first genius of the Cinder Dragon Family in a hundred years."
Hogg nodded.
Levi’s powerful strength and the confidence in his words made Hogg understand.
The mysterious man in front of him possesses power beyond the ordinary. He should be a peerless master hidden in the world, with the strength to not fear the church!
After taking Levi's holy blood potion, relying on his own strong physique, Hogg's injuries recovered almost completely in a short time.
He stood up, said goodbye to Levi, turned around and disappeared into the night.
Levi continued to explore the cave, and deep in the cave, he saw a pool of blood.
In the blood pool, there are two terrifying-looking native vampires sleeping in it.
Even the fierce battle just now did not wake them up.
Levi simply went all out and threw the two sleeping native vampires into the insect house and let the sacred scorpion watch over them.
If they wake up and cause trouble, Levi can just kill them.
After confirming that there was nothing else of value in the nest, Levi burned all the corpses on the ground with fire and then left the wilderness.
Three days later.
The Shining Tavern in Wanlong City.
In the small box.
Knight Hogg looked at the mysterious man in front of him.
He is a man of his word. He got the breathing method inheritance diagram and the sword technique book of Gray Cross Slash from his family.
He is now the head of the Hogg family, so all decisions are made by him.
“Yes, you have the character and potential to become a legendary knight. If you are tired of the life in the church, you can contact me at the Shining Tavern.
Follow me and you will see a wider landscape. Remember, reply to me within half a year."
Levi also extended an invitation to Knight Hogg. Apart from his belief in the King of Dragons, this knight had no shortcomings. Overall, Levi admired him.
If he could become a legendary knight, maybe he could use it for his own benefit.
And through his inquiries and observations in Wanlong City during this period of time.
Although Knight Hogg is a bit old-fashioned, he is a good person and upright, except that he is a little too reckless in his actions.
"Thank you for your appreciation, I will seriously consider what you said."
Knight Hogg was terrified and spoke solemnly.
He didn't expect that such a powerful senior would actually invite him. What an honor it was!
After experiencing this incident, he realized that faith without strength is meaningless!
If he wants to avenge his comrades, at the very least, he has to break through the legendary knight to have the capital to fight against the vampires!
In the end, Hogg left the tavern in excitement.
Levi opened the inheritance map and sword skills book of the Jinlong family.
"'Cinder Dragon Breathing Technique' and 'Grey Annihilation Cross Slash'."
"A legendary physical breathing method, and a powerful sword skill created by a legendary knight of the Cinder Dragon family. This trip to Ten Thousand Dragons City is worth it!"
