The year 1044 of the Holy Hui Calendar, the month of green grass.
At the port of Stormwind, fully armed demon hunters boarded the witchcraft airships and headed to the Demon Realm to exorcise demons.
A witchcraft airship from the inner ring slowly descended and landed at the port.
A wizard wearing black leather armor and carrying a black sword walked down from it.
"Rapids City, I haven't been here for a long time."
This wizard looked middle-aged, with an ordinary face that was hard to remember. He was the kind of person who would be automatically ignored by others if he stood in a crowd.
"The target this time is a second-ring wizard. From the intelligence, it seems that he is also from the human world, and he is only fifty-four years old. He is so young and has already entered the second ring. He must have some extraordinary qualities."
The middle-aged wizard murmured inwardly.
Of course, what he was most looking forward to was that the target of this operation was in the same industry as himself and was also a legendary knight.
"Knight, what an ancient memory." The middle-aged wizard sighed.
He is none other than the Nameless One with a Thousand Faces, Lao Mo's teacher, and also Lao Mo's leader in the human world.
The founder of the Deathbird's Voice, the most mysterious of the seven legendary knights, the Thousand-Faced Knight, Nameless.
The drink in the Shining Tavern is "No Name Rum".
He should be the longest-lived legendary knight among the seven knights, even the Blood Knight Brad is inferior to him.
It's not that the Thousand Faces Knight's cultivation is so high, but that he himself is half immortal.
A hybrid born from the union of a dark elf and a human.
The dark elves.
This is a race of elves who have lived underground in the Pandora plane for a long time. The long life in the shadows has made the dark elves good at stealth and hunting.
They are natural shadow assassins. The Thousand-Faced Knight is the only descendant of the dark elf bloodline who has survived the last intersection of planes in the entire world.
His father is a dark elf, and his mother is a human knight.
Generally speaking, it is difficult for elves to give birth to offspring with humans. Cases like the Thousand Faces Knight are extremely rare.
In any case, he perfectly inherited the advantages of both parents and became a legendary knight.
Later, he founded the Voice of the Death Bird, earned money from the great nobles in the world, and made great contributions to the secular world.
He had come into contact with many legendary knights in the world, fought and spared with them, and ultimately won without a doubt.
But for the Thousand-Faced Knight who has a long life, these cannot bring him any sense of accomplishment.
He came to the wizarding world and, relying on his dark elf talent, became a wizard of the Shadow School. Old Mo also came here with him.
He formed a small assassination organization and struggled to survive in the wizarding world by taking on assassination missions.
Lao Mo was once a member of his organization, but unfortunately, he died in an assassination mission a few years ago.
Originally, the Thousand Faces Knight wanted to stop.
When I came to the wizarding world, I found that everyone here is a talented person.
My strength is fine in the outer ring area, but it is just enough in the inner ring area where I am now.
Carrying out assassination missions here involves great risks. If you are not careful, you will end up in a ditch like Lao Mo.
However, the money this customer gave was really too much.
Inside the city.
Inside the mansion in the upper city.
The Thousand Faces Knight met his client.
Healing Hands Rex.
"Please take a seat." Rex said with a smile. "What is your name?"
"Just call me Thousand Faces." The Thousand Faces Knight said calmly.
"Mr. Thousand Faces, how confident are you about this operation?" Rex asked.
"Seventy percent." The Thousand Faces Knight said bluntly.
"So low?" Rex frowned slightly.
"If I say I'm 100% sure, will you believe me?" the Thousand Faces Knight asked.
"I don't believe it." Rex was choked and thought to himself that this Thousand Faces Knight was indeed weird.
"That's it, no one can guarantee a 100% success rate for an assassination, especially in Rapid City.
I will do my best, and as long as the opponent shows a chance, I will do my best to kill him." The Thousand-Faced Knight said.
After signing the agreement with Rex, the Thousand Faces Knight took the generous deposit given by Rex and left with an expressionless face.
After the Thousand-Faced Knight left, Rex snorted coldly: "A stinky killer from the human world, why are you trying to show off to me?"
For a wizard like Rex who was born in the wizarding world, looking at those wizards who entered the wizarding world from the mortal world is just like some people look at those small town test-takers.
Such a person may have some ability and perseverance. When he is on earth, he is a favored child of heaven and the strongest person admired by everyone.
But in this wizarding world that requires resources and background, he is just a stinking fish seller!
"Sir... that's just his personality." The subordinate next to him said helplessly. "But the Thousand-Faced Knight is quite reliable. He won't take on missions that are beyond his ability or that he feels unsure of. Once he takes on a mission, it's basically 100% successful."
"I hope so. He has put in so much effort and received so much money from me, but he still can't do such a small thing. I don't think there is any need for him to continue being a killer." Rex sneered.
…
No. 81, Midtown.
This is a mansion near Levi's mansion.
On this day, a new tenant moved into No. 81.
The middle-aged tenant looked at the wizard tower next door, which was always closed.
"From now on, we'll be neighbors." The Thousand-Faced Knight muttered to himself.
Naturally, he didn't dare to act rashly in this place, after all, it was too close to the Pharmacist's Tower.
In the Pharmacist's Tower, there is a five-ring strong man and two four-ring strong men.
So he stayed there for the time being, planning to get acquainted with Levi first, find an opportunity to lure Levi out of the city and kill him, and then he would take the commission and flee far away from Rapids City.
When it comes to patience, the Thousand Faces Knight believes that few people in Torrent City can match him.
After all, he had a relatively long life as a capital, while those short-lived low-level wizards had to race against time.
And next door.
Inside Levi's mansion.
Levi, who was practicing, opened his eyes.
He looked at the hair standing on his arms.
"Damn it, who wants to harm me again? Is this ever going to end?"
During this period of time, he felt that there was a vague hostility watching him.
Now, this hostility seems to be becoming more and more obvious.
According to Levi's previous experience, this situation generally means that the person who is hostile to him is very close to him.
Thinking of this, Levi opened the window and glanced around his mansion.
At the same time, he entered a state of synaesthesia in a small range.
Try to see if there are any suspicious figures acting suspiciously without provoking the big guys in the city.
Finally, Levi turned his gaze to No. 81 next door.
Because the distance was very close, Levi could basically be sure that the hostility came from here.
"Who lives at No. 81?" Levi was alert.
This is really the worst misfortune I've ever had.
I was a hard-working medicine seller, I never stole or robbed anyone, and I worked diligently for my boss. But the damn mastermind didn't go after my boss but me.
He was really angry.
You can just bully the workers, right?
Workers are not human beings? They have no human rights, right?
Levi calmed down, luckily he had spider sense.
Otherwise, he might not even know that such a hostile and powerful enemy was hiding next door to him.
"Don't be anxious. Since the other party didn't take action, it means that he doesn't dare to take action in the city, or in other words, he doesn't dare to take action near the Pharmacist's Tower. It seems that it was right for me to rent a house here in the first place." Levi analyzed in his heart.
Because there was also a magic circle next door that blocked breath and perception, Levi had no way of judging the other party's strength.
I can only guess based on my spider sense that the other party is at least a second-ring veteran, or even a third-ring...
In the following days, Levi led a normal life and seemed completely unaware that someone was trying to harm him.
When he left home one time, Levi also discovered a middle-aged wizard watering the herbs planted on the balcony on the second floor of the wizard tower next door.
As if sensing Levi's gaze, the middle-aged wizard smiled kindly.
Levi responded with a sunny smile, and then came to the Pharmacist's Tower.
Looking at Levi's slowly leaving back, the Thousand Faces Knight chuckled inwardly.
"Sir Levi, the kind and hardworking one, may not know that there is a ferocious beast living next door to him. However, judging from his performance, he does have the foundation of a knight. The intelligence is correct on this point." The Thousand Faces Knight analyzed calmly in his heart.
From the intelligence point of view.
Levi, except for a little bit of fame when he just entered the wizarding world because of the legendary knight, was mostly unknown at other times.
After coming to Rapids City to serve, he spent all day at home making medicine to earn meager merit points.
Levi is indeed a very hard-working person.
Even though the Thousand Faces Knight was Levi's enemy, he had to admit that Lord Levi was working too hard!
There is no shortage of hard-working people in the wizarding world, but it is rare to find someone as hard-working as Levi.
Basically, there are no social activities or entertainment activities, and I don't even have a partner!
For people like this, like alchemical creatures, isn't it tiring to live?
"What a pity. If he wasn't an enemy, I would still be very interested in getting to know him."
The Thousand Faces Knight talked to himself as he leisurely cleaned his house and watered the flowers, looking like a middle-aged man with a keen interest in life.
…
Apothecary's Tower.
Levi finished his task, and Huffman looked at Levi and asked, "Anything else?"
"Lord Huffman, we can't take action in Rapids City, right?" Levi asked.
"What's wrong?" Huffman raised his head with a serious expression.
"It's nothing, I just feel like someone is following me recently, as if someone wants to harm me." Levi said jokingly.
He is now also the "number one employee" under Huffman. Huffman is very nice to him, so now Levi also chats with Huffman frequently.
He would also ask some questions directly.
As of now, Huffman does not have any bad intentions except that he is greedy for money. The problem is that he is greedy for money. Who doesn't want money?
In comparison, Levi is more greedy, but he just doesn't have the ability.
Since Huffman is relatively reliable and has such a backer, Levi would be a fool not to use him.
So he changed his words, hoping to let Huffman know his situation indirectly and see if Huffman could offer any solution.
"Who is following you?" Huffman asked with a cold face.
"I'm not sure yet. I'm not sure whether he is following me. I just feel a little uneasy." Levi said.
"It must be that Rex guy," Huffman said sharply.
"Lord Rex? Why did he do this?" Levi asked knowingly.
"Because he did the same to me." Huffman recalled the past. His short body exuded a fierce aura, like a little devil from the abyss.
Huffman talked about the past.
After listening to this, Levi couldn't help but feel deeply sympathetic towards Huffman's situation.
Because Huffman at that time was basically the same as myself now.
People like them who have no background will be calculated and retaliated by Rex if they even slightly touch the interests of people like Rex.
But Huffman managed to survive, and he worked hard like Levi, and eventually became a three-ring pharmacist and achieved his current status.
"Do you want me to talk to the tower master about this?" Huffman asked.
"Forget it, don't alarm the tower master about this matter. Besides, I have no evidence, it's just a blind guess. The truth may not be what we imagined. Thank you, Lord Huffman, for your kindness." Levi said.
Huffman nodded. “Indeed.”
Then Huffman hesitated for a moment, and finally took out a scroll from the storage bag.
"This is a three-ring spell scroll. It's very precious. I made it originally to give it to my future son, but considering that I don't have a wife yet, I'll give it to you first. You have worked diligently for so many years, and you deserve this three-ring wizard scroll." Huffman said.
Levi was overjoyed and looked grateful.
"Thank you, Master Huffman! I will work harder to make medicine!"
He took the scroll respectfully and assured her hastily.
When he returned home, Levi took out the scroll that Huffman gave him, feeling very happy.
This is truly a pleasant surprise.
This three-ring spell scroll is so precious that if it were in the Tower of Merit, it would be worth tens of thousands of merit points.
Most importantly, spell scrolls are always in short supply at the Merit Shop and are exchanged as soon as they are put on the shelves.
After all, this is a cross-level combat weapon that any wizard can use. There are no side effects. For some wealthy low-level wizards who need to perform dangerous tasks frequently, this is undoubtedly a life-saving magic weapon.
Levi had to admit it.
This Huffman is too generous today. He is not a qualified capitalist!
It was obvious that Huffman was also panicking.
He was also worried that Levi would really be killed by Rex.
The problem was, he knew Rex was playing dirty, but Huffman had no way to counter it.
He can only barely protect himself now, and he is still a long way from fighting against Rex and the Thunder Dragon Family behind him.
Even if he went to file a complaint, without evidence, who would believe him and Li Wei?
It is even possible that the superior who was supposed to seek justice for you was also Rex's man.
If you go and file a complaint, you're simply courting death.
This is the naked reality.
Levi was very satisfied that Huffman could do this.
This kind of boss is a qualified boss!
The spell scroll that Huffman gave Levi was an attack spell.
Third-ring spell: Finger of Ice!
It can condense a terrifying ice attack. Under one finger of ice, a second-ring wizard is basically in danger of death, and a third-ring wizard may be seriously injured if he is not prepared.
This is the most powerful spell mastered by Huffman, a three-ring wizard.
With this three-ring spell scroll, Levi's inner uneasiness was somewhat relieved.
However, this is not enough.
He now has no idea when the enemy will attack him.
He needs to improve his strength as much as possible before that.
"First, master the second-ring defense field. Second, upgrade the Golden Snake to the thirteenth level as soon as possible. Third, upgrade the Black Demon Blade to the sixth level."
These three are the ways Levi thought of to improve his strength the fastest.
There is no need to say much about the defensive force field. With one more layer of defense, Levi can be safer. Stacking armor will never be wrong.
As for the Golden Snake and the Black Demon Blade, they were already not far from advancement.
Both of these skills can greatly improve one's strength, and may even make one strong enough to fight against a three-ring wizard.
The next day, early in the morning.
Levi got up and hurried to the Tower of Merit, where he spent eight thousand merit points to exchange for a top-level second-ring defensive spell.
Second ring spell: Earthen Shield.
This is a spell from the School of Earth. It has excellent defensive capabilities and an A-level defense level.
Plus Levi's Lord of Earth and Fire.
When Li Wei has reached his limit, his actual defense level should be A+ or even S.
Once it reaches the S-level standard, it means that this second-ring spell is almost at the level of a third-ring defensive spell.
After getting the spell, Levi began to build a spell defense model, and then practiced step by step.
Time goes by day by day.
In the blink of an eye.
Three months have passed.
Levi discovered that the neighbor who was hostile to him not only did not attack him.
When they occasionally passed by each other, they would greet him in a friendly manner. If it weren't for the spider sense, Levi might have really thought that this was a good neighbor.
Levi simply took advantage of the situation and tried to delay as long as possible.
He pretended to be completely ignorant and interacted with this friendly neighbor.
In secret, there are crazy liver-blasting spells and breathing techniques.
He also learned through chatting that this neighbor was called Will and was a three-ring wizard.
Of course, this must be the other party's pseudonym, and Levi has no idea who his actual identity is.
Unless he has connections, his real identity can be locked through his membership card number.
Just today, Levi's spell model has been constructed, and he has successfully mastered his fourth second-ring spell.
And solidify it into his own second-ring defense force field. In this way, Levi's defense has an extra layer of protection.
The earth spirit shield, the golden snake scales, the diamond body, and the ash-wrapped body constitute Levi's layered defense system.
In addition, Levi's Emerald Dragon Breathing Technique has also been pushed to the eleventh level limit.
As he expected, the extraordinary organ that was born after reaching the eleventh level of the Emerald Dragon Breathing Technique was related to poison.
A new sac grew in Levi's body, where the blood sac was.
Inside this sac is a pool of dark green poison.
These highly toxic ingredients are mainly the sacred armor scorpion and the red-faced sea spider, assisted by the poisons of other poisons, and finally converge and react to become a venom unique to Levi.
He bought a live sea beast and tried it out, but the beast, which was only one ring, could not withstand his venom at all.
Within a few minutes, the poison will cause death. I believe that even if the second ring exists, it cannot be completely immune and will definitely be affected.
If the wizard does not master detoxification spells and potions, or does not have a strong enough physique, he will most likely be poisoned.
"It's still not enough. I have to collect more poisons and train myself to become the ultimate poison." Levi's heart was cold.
His Vampire Touch has now become Levi's organ for injecting venom. He can rely on the long-range attack of the Vampire Touch and inject venom into the enemy like a poisonous snake.
Levi struck while the iron was hot and broke the limit of the Emerald Dragon Breathing Technique. He wanted to practice the Emerald Dragon Breathing Technique and the Blood Beast Breathing Technique to the same level at the same time and mutate and fuse them.
Now, it's just a matter of time.
While Li Wei was walking, the Thousand Faces Knight on the other side was not in a hurry.
He seemed to be in no hurry at all, which made Rex over there very dissatisfied, so he called the Thousand Faces Knight over.
"Why don't you do it?" Rex asked.
"Now is not the best time. I am getting along well with Levi now. Once our relationship is close and I gain Levi's trust, I will lead him to the right place and kill him." said the Thousand Faces Knight.
"You'd better be serious!" said Rex.
"Are you questioning my professional ability? In order to assassinate a four-ring wizard from a high-level wizard organization, I worked as his assistant for fifteen years. In the end, I tricked him into an ancient ruins and used the magic traps of the ancient ruins to assassinate him effortlessly." The Thousand Faces Knight sneered.
His real strength is actually only at the level of an ordinary third-ring wizard, but he used his patience and wisdom to kill a fourth-ring wizard, which is not something that every killer can do.
A four-ring wizard is a powerful figure who dominates the entire Endless Sea.
"You..." Rex was speechless and didn't want to get angry. After all, he could only pin his hopes on this Thousand Faces.
This killer is really free, he can actually go undercover for fifteen years.
The Thousand Faces Knight lacks everything except time.
So in his opinion, it was normal to spend a few years undercover and kill enemies.
No matter how talented Levi is, it is impossible for him to become a third-ring wizard within ten years, right?
Since that is not possible, the Thousand Faces Knight can slowly find a way to lure him out of the city and kill him within the next ten years.
As for ways to trick Levi out of the city, the Thousand Faces Knight has too many of them.
Natural treasures, ancient relics, secret places to explore...
These are all temptations that wizards can hardly resist!
How could Levi not be moved?
In the end, Rex had no choice but to let Qianmian go back.
He always felt that if this continued, something unexpected would happen, and it would be a disaster if he delayed further.
He finally decided to spend some money and have the family send a "wizard warrior" over.
The so-called death warriors are those who have been trained by the wizard organization using secret methods since childhood and are willing to die for the wizard organization without hesitation. Such people are absolutely loyal and reliable and will not betray their family.
Of course, the cost of training a death warrior is very high.
Therefore, Rex was not sure whether he could transfer assassins from there considering his already precarious status in the family.
All I can say is, give it a try.
As long as he continues to maintain his position as the top supervisor, these costs can be earned back later.
The most important thing is that if he wants to be promoted to deputy tower master in the future, he cannot do without the support of these achievements.
The military only cares about performance.
After returning home, the Thousand-Faced Knight continued his plan to get along with Levi.
He felt that his relationship with Levi was getting better and better, and Levi's guard against him was getting lower and lower. He would even open the window every day and take the initiative to greet the Thousand Faces Knight good morning.
This shows that Levi has him in his heart! Levi has already regarded himself as his good neighbor.
The Thousand Faces Knight also took the opportunity to get closer to Levi and decided to take the initiative to ask Levi out of the city.
He had already thought of a reason, saying that he found a wounded third-level demon [Horned Demon] in the wild.
If Levi cooperated with him in hunting, they could sell the demon's precious [unicorn horn] and split the proceeds.
…
Levi's residence.
The Thousand-Faced Knight knocked on the door outside, and then shouted: "Sir Levi, I have something to discuss with you."
"Sir Will, what's the matter? Come in and talk." Levi said with a smile.
He wasn't really panicking because his home was so close to the Apothecary's Tower.
If the opponent suddenly attacks, with his ability, he can definitely deal with it for a while, enough to hold on until the strong man in the Pharmacist Tower is alerted.
The noise of their battle will definitely not be hidden from the strong men in this city, and someone will naturally come to take care of it when the time comes.
At home, Levi brought tea to Will. Will drank it and then said, "Sir Levi, I won't keep you in suspense. I wonder if you have ever heard of the Horned Devil?"
Levi's expression changed: "Oh, I've heard of it. I'm a pharmacist. The powder ground from the horn of the horned devil can be used to make potions."
The Thousand-Faced Knight nodded. "Indeed, the horn of the Horned Devil is very precious. To be honest, when I was on a demon hunting mission in the wild recently, I found a wounded third-level Horned Devil..."
"It's actually level three?" Levi was shocked.
"That's right, the horn of a third-level horned demon is worth at least 20,000 Taishi. If it can be refined into a potion, its value can be multiplied several times!" Seeing that Levi seemed moved, the Thousand Faces Knight knew in his heart that the time might be coming soon.
Unexpectedly, after being undercover for less than half a year, Levi was captured by me.
"It's difficult for me to deal with the cunning horned demon alone. If you can lend me a helping hand, we can divide the spoils of the horned demon equally after the task is accomplished. I can also see that your real strength is not weak." The Thousand Faces Knight said with a sincere look on his face.
Li Wei was torn between inner and outer thoughts, then he smiled bitterly and sighed, "I really can't spare the time recently. The potion tasks during this period are too heavy. It's a pity that I can't go with you."
Hearing this, the Thousand Faces Knight remained calm and said with regret: "In that case, Sir, please go about your business first. I will follow the Horned Demon. If you are free, you can come find me. How about that?"
Li Wei nodded: "That's great, thank you very much, I really need money now."
"In that case, I won't bother you anymore. Go ahead and do your work. Come and visit me when you have time." said the Thousand Faces Knight.
"Goodbye, I won't see you off." Levi said.
After Wizard Will left, Levi closed the door and his face gradually turned cold.
"Want to lure me out and then harm me? It's a rare trick that he could come up with. I might as well take advantage of you and delay for a while. When I am strong enough, I will play with you and catch the mastermind behind this." Levi already had a plan in mind.
With his current strength, he should not be a match for Will. But after he develops for a year or two and his Golden Snake and Black Magic Blade both break through, he will basically be fine.
However, considering that there might be stronger enemies ambushing outside the city, Levi felt that he should stay alive for as long as possible, improve his strength to the limit, and then make plans.
…
The year 1044 of the Holy Era, the month of winter.
In the blink of an eye, another half a year has passed.
Will still keeps in touch with Levi, and says things like "When you're out, you rely on friends, and I like to make friends with people like Levi."
Levi naturally cooperated with Will in acting, and then worked like crazy in secret.
Finally, Levi's Black Demon Blade was the first to reach the sixth level.
Levi——
Black Magic Blade: Level 6 (1/40000)
…
"I can still play with this Black Demon Blade. Can I play with it indefinitely? Will it ever end?" Levi was full of doubts.
This is just a skill obtained in the world mortal.
At first, Levi didn't care too much.
Now, this skill is not simple.
Behind Levi, a huge monster wearing golden scale armor and with a blood-red ribbon wrapped around its back, nearly nine meters tall, was sitting cross-legged in the wizard tower.
Even when sitting, this guy's head hit the ceiling of Levi's Wizard Tower.
If there weren't a magic formation to isolate the aura, the appearance of such a terrifying evil spirit would immediately attract a lot of attention.
After the Black Demon Blade reached the sixth level, the first thing that happened was that the Nine Swords Asura Evil Spirit became larger, a full nine meters long, which meant that Levi's physical fitness and strength were enhanced in all aspects.
This gave Levi the urge to compete with the three-ring master. The sense of expansion brought about by this increase in strength was indeed intoxicating.
In addition, the colors of the Nine Swords Asura are richer.
The golden scales are obviously the external manifestation of the power of the golden snake, while the blood-colored ribbons are the manifestation of the power of the blood beast.
In addition, the red flames burning around the golden scales are a manifestation of the power of the red lotus.
The blood power generated by any breathing method that advances to the twelfth level can be manifested in Nine Swords Asura, showing different characteristics.
Moreover, as Levi's mind moved, nine red-flame swords flew out of Asura's hands, circling around the inside of the wizard tower, constantly spinning and turning, and finally, flew back to Asura's hands.
Levi was excited.
Is this the legendary sword-wielding technique?
"This Nine Swords Ashura doesn't fit in with the style of this wizarding world."
Levi felt emotional.
It looks like Asura is running all the way towards the immortal hero.
Levi had a feeling that with his current mental strength, these nine swords could only fly a few miles at most. If they flew farther, they might not be able to come back.
No matter what, this is the first step on the road to "flying a sword".
