Kelvin's life trajectory was not ideal.
As a talented knight of the Yinshan Family, he became famous at a young age and broke through to the realm of Grand Knight at the age of 25.
This speed is comparable to that of Edward, the knight on white horse in the Emerald Kingdom in history.
His grandfather was the son of the Silver Mountain Knight, one of the Seven Knights of the North.
Grandpa told Kelvin that Kelvin's talent was even greater than that of his great-grandfather.
Therefore, Kelvin has always lived up to everyone's expectations. He is also very competitive and broke through to the Grand Knight realm early on.
The ancestral Silver Mountain Dragon Breathing Method has undergone a transformation into the seed of life.
Originally, Kelvin's life might have been to inherit the throne of Earl of Silver Mountain in Icewind City, and then guard the family territory until his death. It would have been even better if he could break through to become a legendary knight before he died.
Until one day, a strange man wearing a wizard robe appeared in Icewind City, with only a blue frost skeleton left.
Accompanied by the huge army of blue frost undead behind the monster.
In less than a day, Icewind City fell...
Kelvin's father and his grandfather were all killed in the battle. In front of that horrific monster, even the grandfather of the top knight was quickly overwhelmed by the Blue Frost Undead.
At that moment, Kelvin knew what true despair and helplessness were.
With the desperate protection of family guards and elders, Kelvin escaped through the family secret passage.
He saw Icewind City frozen in the terrifying blue frost fire, and the loyal soldiers and people of the Silver Mountain Family were all turned into ice sculptures.
The soul fire in the eyes of the strange man in wizard robes was so cold that it made people shiver.
Behind the monster are thousands of blue frost undead.
Later, Kelvin heard that a "Four-Winged Paladin" from the Church of Holy Light had arrived in Icewind City and had a shocking battle with that weirdo.
The final result is unknown, but Kelvin no longer cares.
He lost his family and fiefdom, and became a wandering knight.
He was heading south, and when he passed by Peacock City, the captain of the royal city's guard invited Kelvin to join the guard, but he refused.
He couldn't even protect his own city, so he didn't want to protect other people's cities.
He headed south.
Arriving at the Green Forest Province and passing by the Tulip Territory where it is spring all year round, Baron Reed of the Flower City also extended an olive branch to Kelvin.
Oh, by the way, Baron Reed is the grandson of Baron Levi. It is said that the fallen Baron Levi was once a good friend of his great-grandfather.
However, Kelvin, who was disheartened, just wanted to wander.
What's the point of practicing the way of chivalry so hard?
In the end, he couldn't even defeat the summoned creatures under that monster.
Mortals are, after all, ants.
The glorious era of the Knights is gone forever.
In this era when all kinds of monsters such as werewolves, vampires, ghouls, blue frost undead and so on compete for appearance.
Knights? They are just old antiques that are good for show but useless.
Even the most powerful legendary knight would feel sad when facing this era. Even after a lifetime of training, he would not be able to catch up with those extraordinary creatures.
Kelvin came to the seaside and heard about a secret organization called the Holy Snake Society.
It is said that the Holy Snake has holy water that can make humans powerful, called "Holy Snake Saliva".
Taking a drop of the holy snake's saliva can make an ordinary person extremely strong and able to kill a mountain wolf with bare hands.
And if one takes ten drops of the Holy Snake's saliva, even an ordinary person can gain the combat power of a full knight level.
It is said that senior members of the Holy Snake Society have all taken hundreds of drops of Holy Snake Saliva. Their strength is comparable to that of the Great Knights, and some powerful ones are almost the same as the top Great Knights.
There are even people who take thousands of drops and can directly fight against werewolves, vampires and other extraordinary creatures.
The powerful men in the Holy Snake Society who claim to be called "Ancient Saints" have all consumed tens of thousands of drops of Holy Snake saliva. Their strength has surpassed that of legends and reached a supreme realm that mortals cannot imagine. Killing a legendary knight is as easy as taking something out of a bag!
Kelvin, who had just experienced the destruction of his family and was eager for power and revenge, joined this organization for some unknown reason.
Led by an informant, he took a boat and arrived at a deserted island in the ocean.
He didn't see the saliva of the holy snake, he only saw a group of hideous and terrifying scaly people.
These people are divided into two types. One is the lizard people, who are generally no different from humans, except that they are covered with scales. The other type is the snake people, who have degenerate legs and are supported by long snake bodies.
Then, he was hit by a sudden attack and passed out.
When he woke up, he had been tied up and placed on a strange altar along with a group of ignorant sailors who had come to look for the Holy Snake's Saliva.
The altar was made of a simple pile of bones, which seemed to be the skeletons of some giant snake-like creature.
It was obvious that he was being treated as a sacrifice to some evil god by the tall and burly lizardman leader in front of him.
"My life can finally come to an end."
Kelvin sighed in his heart, he had already let it go.
The expected death did not come. Kelvin opened his eyes and saw the dazed snake people and lizard people.
Even the leader who was in charge of offering sacrifices to the evil god was in a daze, looking shocked.
Kelvin looked in the direction they were looking. In the crater, the long-dormant lava broke through the sky, rolling heat waves swept across, and volcanic ash quickly spread around the island.
After the lizard people reacted, they panicked and fled in all directions.
In this horrifying doomsday scene, accompanied by the rain of magma falling from the sky, a huge red object crashed to the ground.
The earth cracked, cracks spread, dust flew, and deep pits appeared.
Waiting for the smoke to clear, a burly middle-aged man crawled out, shaking his head and stretching his muscles.
His tall figure slowly emerged from the smoke, his golden scales gleaming in the firelight.
Oh my God, there is flames on his body. Is he a human?
It should be some kind of more powerful lizard man.
Kelvin's heart sank to the bottom.
Could this be the evil god that these lizardmen want to sacrifice?
That's not right. My sacrifices haven't been enjoyed yet, but the evil god can't wait to come?
Never mind, just destroy it, I'm tired.
"Thank God, I'm back!"
Levi was dizzy. Without the protection of the space gate, this teleportation was so damn dizzying.
But just as he expected, he successfully passed the subspace node.
The space-distorting force dissipated as soon as it touched Levi's golden scales.
This is enough to prove that the [Heavy Water Barrier] he created is really useful.
But I didn't expect that the exit of this node was actually inside the crater.
Moreover, it is not known whether the volcano erupted because of Levi's teleportation this time.
He was directly washed into the sky by the terrifying lava flow, and then fell on the island in a dizzy state.
Levi exhaled a breath of foul air filled with volcanic ash, and magma fell on Levi's naked body like rain, splashing everywhere.
He was like a demon crawling out of hell, bathing in fire and rain, with no scruples.
"What kind of monster is this?" Kelvin's cognition was overturned. He felt a burning breath above his head, and saw a huge rock that was burned red by magma falling down. If it hit them, neither Kelvin nor these sacrificial sailors would survive.
Levi leaped up and kicked with a whip kick.
boom!
Perhaps a huge rock weighing hundreds of tons was directly knocked away and fell into the sea ahead in a perfect parabola.
"Such a familiar smell... You must be the descendant of the Silver Mountain Knights." Levi tore open the ropes that bound him.
Looking at Kelvin carefully, Kelvin didn't dare to say a word, and then he reacted.
"Yes, sir. I...I am Kelvin Silver Mountain."
"So that's how it is." Levi said lightly. He looked at the sailors and then sighed.
With a wave of his hand, he sent all these people into Alice's ring.
Turned and left the volcanic island.
He just felt that a group of strange guys seemed to jump into the sea to escape.
Levi released Tyrant II and the mountain giant Bo Gang.
"Go and catch those little bugs that escaped." Levi said.
Levi found an uninhabited island on his own, rested for a while, and then determined his current location so that he could make plans.
Naturally, he would take the descendants of the Yinshan Family away and send them to the Hall of Dusk Knights.
As for those sailors, Levi planned to use the already limited spell [Follow the Wind into Dreams] to modify their memories and erase all traces of his appearance from their minds.
He looked at the endless sea, waiting for Bo Gang and the others to return.
"What's on the other side of the sea?"
An idea suddenly came to Levi's mind.
All along, based on the geographical knowledge obtained from the church.
The human world is basically centered on this vast continent where the seven countries are located.
The area outside the seven continents is called "overseas land".
But how big is the overseas land, and what is on the other side of the sea?
The knowledge of the church did not involve this, but it only said that the further you go to the outer sea areas, the more violent the sea will become. If ignorant mortals step into it, their ship will be destroyed and they will die.
Throughout the history of the Emerald Kingdom, many navigators have attempted to explore the boundaries of the outer seas.
Some navigators even put forward their own conjecture that the world is a super huge sphere.
The Seven Kingdoms Continent is just a small piece of continent on the sphere.
Of course, this speculation was ruthlessly shattered by the church, and the navigator was even labeled a heretic and burned at the stake.
"The place where the light of the loving Father shines is the human world. Other than that, it is a dark realm. If there are ignorant mortals who willfully abandon the light of the loving Father, they will be greeted by demons and devils, countless dark creatures."
This is what the Pope of that generation said at the conference where the heretic was burned.
Later on, basically few navigators went to explore overseas areas.
It has become a forbidden area in the eyes of mortals. Devastating storms, unspeakable horrors, and the corpses of countless adventurers are all hidden there.
However, in the wizarding world, Levi obtained another version of geographical knowledge.
There was indeed only one continent in the human world. That was in the ancient times, before the parliament was established and before the rise of Sauron, the ancestor of wizards.
At that time, mortals, wizards, the church, extraordinary creatures indigenous to the human world, and creatures from other dimensions that came with the intersection of the celestial spheres, all lived on a vast continent.
This continent is called "the Land of Divine Light" by the Holy Light Church, and "the Land of Soaring Dragon" by the Dragon God Church. In short, the competing and arguing Seven Gods Churches all have their own names for this continent in order to deceive the world and gain their faith.
However, the name of the Church of the Seven Gods is quite unified when it comes to overseas areas where the church’s faith cannot radiate.
"A land forsaken by God".
It means a barren land abandoned by the gods, where dangers are lurking everywhere, there is no future, it is shrouded in darkness and full of ominousness.
In the early ancient times, in the book "Geography of Nora" left by the ancient geographer Wegener.
He called that earliest continent "Nora Continent", also known as "the land of mankind" and "the land of abundance".
Wegener also got another statement from an isolated indigenous people. Those indigenous people called this continent "Pangaea"!
"Pangu".
To the locals, it means "ancient, primitive, chaotic, and pioneering".
In short, judging from the knowledge of the wizarding world, the human world in ancient times was actually much larger than the human world Levi had seen.
However, with the outbreak of the War of the Ancients and the gods' relentless pressure and oppression, Sauron, who had already advanced to the level of a legend, led the wizard civilization in a protracted war with the angels of the Seven Gods.
This war was accompanied by the long-term use of legendary forbidden techniques and the power of the Seven Gods.
The continental plates began to become unstable, and finally, after a earth-shaking decisive battle that almost reshaped the earth, fire, wind and water, the continent fell apart and continued to disintegrate.
The emergence of subspace nodes is most likely related to the war between gods.
In short, the elemental power in the human world is becoming increasingly dilute, but the land of subspace is constantly expanding on its original basis, gradually relying on the human world to form its own ecological pattern, and it has also become a paradise for wizards.
The wizard civilization, which no longer fought with the gods, quickly conquered the indigenous people of the Warp, such as the sea people, and became the masters of this place.
And relying on this, it expeditioned to other dimensions and became an emerging civilization that could be compared with some of the old and powerful civilizations in the multidimensional world.
The seven continents of the mortal world became the last private territory of the seven gods.
The seven gods and wizards do not interfere with each other and never have any contact with each other, so they live in peace.
In fact, it is normal to think about it. The entire human world and the subspace are actually two dimensions of a big ball.
The warp is the outer sphere, within which are densely packed with the realm of the faithless, which are like bubbles of various sizes.
The smallest of these faithless realms may be no bigger than a secret realm, and their area may be about the same as the territory of a great lord in the human world.
The largest realm of faithless beings is the Endless Sea. Judging from the current exploration of the wizarding world, the area of the Endless Sea should be equivalent to the sum of the faithless realms of other major sects. It is countless times larger than the seven-nation continent known to the public.
However, because most of it is ocean and there is very little land, the actual area available for wizards to practice is relatively small.
In fact, Levi had a guess that the subspace should be an extension and fold of the human world, or a projection and magnification place, because he found that every time he was teleported from the Endless Sea to the human world, he appeared on the sea.
Does it mean that the Endless Sea is actually an extension or reflection of the overseas land on earth?
The area of overseas land in the human world is much larger than the seven continents, and no one knows where the border of overseas land is.
The area of the Endless Sea is also much larger than the other realms of the Faithless.
Are these all coincidences?
Perhaps, in the ancient times when wizards had not yet appeared, in the primitive times when the belief in the Seven Gods had not yet emerged.
The so-called human world and the subspace were originally one and the same, but for some unknown reason, these two dimensions began to separate continuously, with one part rising and the other sinking.
This part of history has long been buried in the endless river of time.
Perhaps we can only get a glimpse of it in the myths and legends of some ancient races.
"I wonder if the sea people know this part of history? The sea people already existed before the wizards came to the Endless Sea. They should have lived there in ancient times. It is also possible that they are an ancient group that came from ancient times."
Levi pondered in his mind.
If given the chance, Levi would like to try to explore the borders of Overseas Land to see if there are other isolated continents or other civilizations on the other side of the sea.
Right at this moment.
Accompanied by the rumbling waves.
Bo Gang and Tyrant II each brought a group of struggling lizardmen and snakemen to the island where Levi lived.
These lizardmen were beaten black and blue, and were covered with wounds. At this moment, they looked at the middle-aged man sitting cross-legged on the boulder in front of them with fear.
The tall Lizardman Chief was prostrating himself with his staff on the ground.
"Respected Ancient Saint, we have no intention of disturbing you. We are merely offering sacrifices to the Holy Snake. We did not know that you were sleeping in this volcano."
The chief used the language of the people.
Levi stared at the chief, who didn't dare to breathe.
"The revival of the demonic tide has further intensified, and the lizardmen have come out." Levi murmured in his heart.
There is also an introduction to Lizardmen in Franken's Monster Manual.
This is a race widely distributed in many planes, and together with the snake people, they are called "crawlers".
It is said that this race all believe in a supreme being named "Holy Snake". It is said that it is a giant snake that surrounds the entire plane, a bit like the "Black Snake Holding a Candle" on the Levi family emblem. I don't know what the relationship between the two is.
Of course, the legend is definitely exaggerated. The giant snake circling the plane is probably an artistic creation.
However, Levi estimated that the Holy Snake should at least be a god-like level comparable to a legendary wizard, otherwise it would not have such a huge influence that is spread across multiple dimensions.
"The human world is becoming more and more lively." Levi felt that it seemed like a good choice for him to return to the human world temporarily.
In the unknown overseas lands, more and more things are revived by the magic tide, which also means that there are more opportunities waiting for Levi in the human world.
He clearly felt that after not coming back for fifty years, the concentration of elemental power in the human world this time was several times higher than the last time he left.
Although it is still not comparable to the realm of believers without faith, but with his own element transformation array and some element gathering arrays, a three-ring wizard like Levi can barely practice and not regress in cultivation. It's just a little slower than the wizarding world.
The wizarding world is too chaotic right now, so Levi plans to stay in the human world longer this time.
Other wizards may care about the concentration of elemental power, but Levi doesn't care. He has a proficiency panel, various elemental affinity talents, and the potion materials he has collected in the wizarding world over the years. These are enough for him to live happily in the human world for a while.
Sometimes, you can't put too much pressure on yourself, just like in your previous life, if you can't make it in the big city, just go to a small city. There is no need to indulge in internal competition.
It is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. What the ancients said makes sense.
The Lizardman Chieftain felt uneasy when he saw that Levi had been ignoring him. He had never expected that he would meet the powerful [Ancient Saint] in a foreign world.
It and its tribe are not native to this world, but come from the [Ancient Saint Empire] in a foreign world.
The Ancient Holy Empire is a powerful empire where all its members believe in the Holy Snake. Its members are all kinds of lizardmen, snakemen, and other reptiles.
They are fanatical believers in the Holy Snake and are dedicated to spreading and reviving the glory of the Holy Snake.
During a tribal hunting trip, they accidentally discovered an altar in a dilapidated ancient temple in a primeval forest. Inside the altar, they saw another blue world.
Curiosity drove them through the altar, and when they reappeared, they were already in a foreign land.
The Lizardmen discovered this plane, and at present, its strength level is not as good as the plane where their own Ancient Saint Empire is located.
The strongest here, the so-called legendary knight, is only at the level of a small tribal chief like himself in their Ancient Saint Empire. Only in the church, there may be some strong people comparable to the [Ancient Saints], but their number is not large.
So they boldly began to preach in the other world and established the Holy Snake Society. They used the fabricated "Salivary of the Holy Snake" as an excuse to trick humans into joining the society, and then offered them as sacrifices to the Holy Snake in an attempt to exchange them for the real gift of the Holy Snake.
There is no such thing in this world that you can become stronger by drinking the saliva of the Holy Snake. Only these stupid humans would believe it.
But the person in front of him is definitely an ancient saint hidden in the world.
In the Ancient Saint Empire, the strongest among the reptiles throughout history gave birth to the "Blood of the Holy Snake" and reached a higher level of existence, and were called "Ancient Saints".
The man in front of him, the overwhelming sense of oppression, and the majesty of the ancient saint who was intimidating without even getting angry made the chief prostrate himself on the ground.
Levi looked at these lizardmen with interest.
He suddenly said, "I have been asleep for a long time. Tell me your current situation. If I am in a good mood, I will let you go."
He speculated that these lizardmen might have come from another dimension.
The strongest of these guys is the chief, who is only at the level of a first-ring wizard, while the other lizardmen are only at the level of apprentices.
They can all come to the human world safely through the space nodes, so does that mean that they can also invade the other dimension through the space nodes?
Levi is now worrying about the secret medicine of the Knight's Breathing Method all day long. It would be best if he could have a plane of his own that has not yet been developed by wizards.
Like the locusts, the wizard civilization has its resources firmly controlled by its respective class in every plane it conquers.
It is extremely difficult for ordinary wizards to obtain resources.
Only the "New World" can solve Levi's current problem.
He planned to take this opportunity to start with these lizardmen, first understand the situation on the other side, and then quietly open up a new world of his own based on the degree of danger.
"Let those wizards fight each other. I will lead the Knights of Dusk to make great maritime discoveries in the human world. By the time they discover me, I will have made a fortune."
Levi began to daydream in his mind.
In front of Levi, the tribal chief told Levi everything about his experience of coming to the human world, and Levi got a lot of information about other dimensions from him indirectly.
In the end, it was pretty much what Levi had guessed.
These guys are outsiders who came here after the demon tide revived.
"The plane where the Ancient Saint Empire is located has already intersected with the plane where the human world is located..."
Judging from the description of these guys, they came here through an altar. It seems that the altar is the space node between the ancient saint plane and the human world.
"Take me to the altar." Levi said.
"Okay, my Lord Ancient Saint." The chief, whose name was Kaku, had a small tribe of dozens of crawlers under his command.
In the Ancient Saint Empire, there are hundreds and thousands of such tribes.
Levi learned that there seemed to be only thirteen "Ancient Saints" like him in the Ancient Saint Empire...
From this perspective, the Ancient Saint Empire also looks very weak.
Of course, the Ancient Saint Empire may only be one of the forces in that plane and cannot represent the highest combat power of that plane.
But in general, a group of weak lizardmen can build a powerful empire in this plane, which means that the overall combat power of this plane will not be too high.
Perhaps a high-level soul wizard can completely conquer it.
Therefore, this kind of plane should be the lowest level small plane, which cannot be compared with Blue Frost, Blood River, etc., not to mention Abyss and Hell.
Not long after, under the leadership of this group of chiefs, Levi arrived at the place where they had just arrived in the world.
There is an uninhabited island covered with dense primeval forests, which seems to be far away from the mainland.
On the island, Levi discovered an ancient altar. The altar seemed to be made of the bones of some powerful giant snake. After who knows how many years, it was still intact. There were runes on it that Levi could not understand, but judging from the style, it was obvious... it was the rune system of ancient wizards.
"An ancient wizard once went to the ancient holy plane because of the convergence of the celestial spheres, and left this altar for passage. However, with the end of the convergence of the celestial spheres, this altar probably lost its function. Until the arrival of this convergence of the celestial spheres, the passage between the two worlds was opened again." Levi guessed in his heart based on the information from the Lizardman Chief.
"How many of you have come to this world this time?" Levi asked.
The chieftain smiled awkwardly and said, "Sir, only our tribe has come. We have not yet told other tribes and the Ancient Saint Empire about this matter."
Obviously, he had the same idea as Levi and wanted to keep the discovery to himself. He certainly couldn't tell anyone else about it.
"Well, you go over there and come back, and don't try to play tricks in front of me." Levi called a lizard man at random and said.
The lizard man trembled, nodded frantically, stood on the altar, and disappeared.
Not long after, he reappeared.
Levi's heart moved slightly, and he released a sailor from Alice's ring.
When the mortal sailor saw himself surrounded by so many lizardmen, he fainted again instantly.
Levi was helpless and called someone braver. An old sailor stood there trembling, at a loss as to what to do.
Levi took out a bag of gold coins.
"Go in and come back, and this bag of gold coins will be yours."
How could the old sailor dare not refuse? He stared at the gold coin, then stepped onto the altar and disappeared.
When he reappeared, the old sailor was already in a lush primeval forest.
Every tree here is hundreds of meters tall. The roars of wild beasts can be heard from the forest from time to time, and the earth is shaking slightly.
And he seemed to be in a dilapidated temple, where a broken, scaly, winged statue of an ancient saint collapsed, looking at the old sailor with its ferocious face.
"What the hell is this place?"
In the sky, there are shadows cast on the earth.
A pterosaur-like creature with a wingspan of tens of meters was soaring in the clouds.
"A monster."
The old sailor returned to the center of the altar again.
He saw the blue world across the altar, which seemed to be the human world where he lived.
He stepped on it.
When I opened my eyes again.
A bag of gold coins has appeared in the hands of the old sailor.
Levi looked excited.
"Even mortals can pass through this altar... This, this is incredible! This is completely different from wizards actively traveling through dimensional space gates. Is this the power of the intersection of the celestial spheres?"
Judging from the old man's description, it is exactly the same as that of this group of lizardmen.
On the other side, there is definitely a brand new world.
Moreover, although wizards have explored it, that was in ancient times.
Now, there is a high probability that the wizard has also fallen in it.
It is very likely that I am the first person to discover this new dimension.
Suppressing his emotions, Levi exuded a powerful majesty and released the dragon's might.
"Breath of the Holy Snake! This is the breath of the Holy Snake, a true Ancient Saint!" The Lizardman Chieftain was excited. How could he have deserved to meet such a great Ancient Saint face to face.
He is a great man who stands at the pinnacle of the Ancient Saint Empire.
"You stay here and guard the altar." Levi asked Bo Gang and Tyrant to keep an eye on these lizardmen.
He thought about it and stepped into the center of the altar.
Without any discomfort and without the terrible force of space distortion, Levi came to a new world.
He opened his eyes and breathed in a more primitive, wilder air, as well as elemental power that was no less powerful than that of the wizarding world.
With his perception, he could easily detect that in this vast primeval forest, there were many powerful supernatural creatures lurking in it. The earth trembled from time to time, which was the supernatural creatures fighting.
"This altar must be hidden and cannot be discovered by other powerful people in the Ancient Saint Empire. Only I know this place."
Levi quickly began to set up the magic circle. He used all his magic skills to hide the altar and the temple in the forest.
"That's not enough. I have to hurry up and find the blueprints for the three-ring magic circle. I want to become a three-ring magic circle wizard so that I can better hide and protect this place."
"Now that I know the subspace nodes between the wizarding world and the human world, and I have the altar leading to this other world, I can travel between these three places at will."
After doing all this, Levi took a deep breath, disappeared in the center of the altar, and returned to the human world.
Li Wei looked at the vast sky and sea and felt happy.
“A new era has arrived.”
