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.
“慈父的光辉照耀之地,便是人间,除此之外,都是黑暗之域,若是有愚昧无知的凡人随意抛弃慈父光辉,那迎接他的,将是魔鬼和恶魔,是数之不尽的黑暗生物。”
烧死那位异端的大会上,那一代的教皇如此说道。
再后来,基本上很少有航海家去探索海外之地了。
那里成为了凡人口中的禁区,毁天灭地的风暴,无可名状的恐怖,无数冒险者的尸骨,都深藏于此。
不过在巫师世界,李维得到了另一个版本的地理知识。
人间,曾经的确是只有一块大陆,那是在上古时期,是议会还没有成立,巫师之祖索伦还没有崛起之前。
当时,凡人,巫师,教会,人间土著的超凡生物,以及随着历次天球交汇而来的异位面生物,全部生活在一片无垠的大陆上。
这片大陆,在圣辉教会口中,称之为“神辉之地”,龙神教会口中,则是“龙腾之陆”,总之,在互相竞争和扯皮的七神教会口中,对于这个大陆,都有自己的叫法,好欺骗世人,方便收割信仰。
但是对于自己教会信仰无法辐射的海外之地,七神教会的称呼倒是挺统一的。
“神弃之地”。
意味着被诸神抛弃的不毛之地,那里危机四伏,没有未来,黑暗笼罩,充满不详。
在上古早期的时代,古代地理学大师魏格纳留下的《诺拉地理志》一书中。
他将那最早的大陆称之为“诺拉大陆”,又被称为“人间之地”、“丰饶之地”。
魏格纳还在一个与世隔绝的土著民族那里,得到了当地人的另一种说法,那些土著将这片大陆称之为,“磐古大陆”!
“磐古”。
在当地人口中,意味“古老,原始,混沌,开辟”。
总之,从巫师世界的知识来看,其实上古早期的人间,远比李维所见识过的人间要大。
但是,随着上古之战的爆发,诸神的步步紧逼和压迫,早已经进阶传奇的索伦率领巫师文明,和七神的天使进行了旷日持久的战争。
这一场战争中,伴随着传奇禁法和七神伟力的长时间动用。
大陆板块开始不稳定,最终在惊天动地,几乎重塑地火风水的大决战之后,大陆分崩离析,不断瓦解。
而亚空间节点的出现,极有可能也和那场神战有关。
总之,人间的元素之力不断稀薄,亚空间之地却在原有的基础上不断膨胀,逐渐依托于人间,形成了自己的生态格局,同样也成为了巫师们的世外桃源。
不在和诸神纷争的巫师文明,在很快征服亚空间之地诸如海族这样的土著之后,成为了这地方的主宰。
并且依托于此,远征其他位面,成为了足以和多元位面的一些老牌强大文明相提并论的新兴文明。
人间的七国大陆,也就成为了七神最后的自留地。
七神和巫师,互不干涉,老死不相往来,也算是相安无事。
其实想想也正常,整个人间和亚空间之地,其实就是一个大球的两层维度。
亚空间是外面的球体,在其中,密布着大大小小的气泡一样的无信者之境。
这些无信者之境小的可能也就一个秘境大小,面积可能和人间一个大领主的领地差不多。
而其中最大的无信者之境,便是无尽海,从目前巫师世界的探测来看,无尽海的面积,应该相当于其他各大学派无信者之境的总和,比现有认知下的七国大陆,更是大了无数倍。
但是因为大多数都是海洋,陆地很少,所以实际上可供巫师修行的面积,又比较小。
其实李维有一个猜测,亚空间之地,应该是人间的延伸折叠,或者说投影放大之地,因为他发现,自己每次从无尽海传送到人间,都是出现在大海上。
是不是意味着,无尽海其实就是人间海外之地的延伸或者映射?
人间海外之地的面积,远大于七国大陆,没有人知道海外之地的边界在哪里。
而无尽海的面积,也远大于其他无信者之境。
这些,都是巧合吗?
或许,在巫师都没有出现的远古时期,在七神信仰还没有出现的洪荒时代。
所谓的人间和亚空间之地,本就是一体,只是不知道什么原因,这两种维度开始不断的分离,一部分升腾,一部分沉降。
这部分历史,早已经掩埋在无尽岁月长河之中。
可能唯有在一些古老的种族的神话和传说之中,才能窥见。
“不知道海族是否知晓这部分历史?在巫师降临无尽海之前,海族就已经存在了,他们应该在上古时代就生活在那里,也有可能是远古时代走来的古老族群。”
李维心中思索。
有机会的话,李维想试着探索一下海外之地的边界,看看海的另一边,是否还有其他与世隔绝的大陆,是否有其他的文明。
就在此时。
伴随着轰隆隆的海浪翻腾。
波刚和暴君二世各自带着一堆挣扎的蜥蜴人,蛇人来到了李维所生活的岛屿。
这些蜥蜴人一个个被打的七荤八素,伤痕累累,此刻恐惧的望着前方盘坐在巨石上的那个中年人。
高大的蜥蜴人酋长匍匐在地,他的法杖放在地上。
“尊敬的古圣大人,我们无意打扰您,我们仅仅是在对圣蛇大人进行献祭,不知道您在这火山之中沉睡。”
酋长使用的是人间的语言。
李维凝视着酋长,后者大气都不敢喘一下。
“魔潮复苏进一步加剧了啊,蜥蜴人都出来了。”李维内心喃喃。
在弗兰肯的怪物手册上,也有对于蜥蜴人的介绍。
这是一种广泛分布在很多位面的种族,和蛇人一起,称之为“爬行者”。
这个种族,据说全部信仰一位名为“圣蛇”的无上存在,据说那是一条环绕整个位面的巨蛇,有点像是李维家族族徽的【衔烛之黑蛇】,不知道两者间是什么关系。
当然,传说肯定是有夸张成分的,什么环绕位面之巨蛇,应该是艺术加工。
不过李维估计,圣蛇应该至少也是堪比传奇巫师的类神级别吧,要不然也不至于影响力如此巨大,遍布多元位面。
“人间,越来越热闹了。”李维觉得,自己暂时回到人间,似乎是一个不错的选择。
未知的海外之地,越来越多的魔潮复苏之物,也说明在人间,也有更多的机会在等着李维。
他明显感觉,五十年没回来,这次的人间的元素之力浓度,已经数倍于自己上一次离开之前了。
虽然还是和无信者之境不能比,但是搭配自己的元素转化法阵,再加上一些元素汇聚法阵,其实对于李维这样的三环巫师来说,也能勉强修行,不至于修为倒退,无非是比巫师世界慢一些而已。
现在巫师世界太乱了,李维打算这次在人间待久一点。
其他巫师可能很在意元素之力的浓郁程度,李维不在意,他有熟练度面板,还有各种元素亲和天赋,以及自己这些年在巫师世界收集的药剂材料,足够他在人间逍遥快活一段时间了。
有时候,不能太给自己压力,就和前世一样,大城市混不下去,就去小城市待着呗,没必要非得去内卷。
宁做鸡头,不做凤尾,古人说的也在理。
蜥蜴人酋长看李维一直不搭理自己,心中忐忑不安,他没想到,自己居然可以在异界他乡,遇见强大的【古圣】。
它和它的部族,并不是这个世界的原住民,而是来自于异界他乡的【古圣帝国】。
古圣帝国乃是一个全员信仰圣蛇的强大帝国,其成员都是各种各样的蜥蜴人,蛇人,等其他的爬行者。
它们狂热的信仰圣蛇,并且致力于传播和重振圣蛇的荣光。
一次部落狩猎的时候,它们在一处原始森林中,无意间在一处破旧的古圣神庙中发现了一座祭坛,祭坛之中,它们看到了另一个蔚蓝的世界。
好奇心驱使它们穿过祭坛,再出现的时候,已经是异界他乡了。
蜥蜴人发现这个位面,目前来看,实力层次,还不如自己的古圣帝国所在的位面。
这里面的最强者,所谓的传奇骑士,在它们古圣帝国,也不过是自己这种小部落酋长的水平,也就在教会之中,可能存在一些堪比【古圣】的强者,但是数量也不多。
所以他们便放心大胆的开始在异世界传教,并且成立了圣蛇会,以编造的“圣蛇之涎”为借口,骗取人类入会,然后作为祭品献祭给圣蛇,试图换取真正的圣蛇馈赠。
这世上哪有那种喝下圣蛇大人的口水就变强的好事,也就这些愚蠢的人类才会相信罢了。
但是眼前这位,绝对是一位隐藏在人间的古圣。
在古圣帝国,那些古往今来,爬行者族群之中的最强者,诞生了“圣蛇之血”,达到了更高层次的存在,被称之为“古圣”。
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.”
