Unknown deserted island.
altar.
As Levi continued to cast spells, the magic array objects were inserted around the altar, accompanied by light that shot up into the sky.
A circle of ripples enveloped the altar, and then the altar disappeared from the sight of the lizard people.
The lizardmen were stunned by the miracle-like operation.
Their civilization also has spellcasters, but their spellcasting techniques are extremely backward and primitive, and cannot be compared with Levi's operations at all.
Except for a very few geniuses, such as Chief Kaku, most crawlers do not have the talent of spellcasters.
Levi speculated that the spellcasting heritage of the Ancient Saint Empire might have come from the ancient wizard who entered this new world.
After the Lizardmen accidentally inherited the magic, some rare spellcasters gradually emerged after a long period of time.
Overall, this is a very weak civilization.
After doing all this, Levi looked at these lizardmen and the question was how to deal with them.
In the end, he decided to keep these guys for the time being so that he would have guides when he explored the new world in the future.
Levi needs to use these guys to learn about the Ancient Saint Empire, including the situation of the thirteen ancient saints, in advance.
"I'm going to be away for a while. You guys stay here to guard the altar and no one is allowed to approach." Levi said to Chief Kaku.
"Yes, my Lord Ancient Saint!" said the chief.
This group of lizardmen have great reverence for the Ancient Saints, as can be seen from the Ancient Saint Temple over there.
If the Holy Snake is the god in their hearts, then the Ancient Saint is their saint on earth.
Levi only needs to release some "ancient saint breath" to make all these lizardmen surrender.
In fact, in Levi's opinion, the so-called aura of the ancient saints is actually the dragon's power, or the aura of the dragon clan.
The ancient saints mentioned by these lizardmen should be the powerful ones among the lizardmen who were born with dragon blood.
The Holy Snake, like the Black Snake that Holds the Candle, is possibly a pure-blooded dragon that looks like some kind of giant snake.
Dragons and snakes are inseparable.
When Levi has the opportunity to go to the Ancient Holy Empire, he also wants to see what the holy snake they believe in is.
He always felt that the holy snake and the black snake might be the same being.
"Bogang, you stay on this island and guard the altar. No one is allowed to approach here." Levi thought about it and felt that he had to leave a powerful fighter here.
Bo Gang is a giant from the Three Ring Mountains, and he is also a giant wizard. In the world today, no one can be a match for Bo Gang unless a saint from the church comes in person.
Bo Gang sat silently on the ground, and his body began to merge with the ground.
Eventually, Bogang turned into a huge pile of rocks and hid here.
Anyone who mistakenly enters here will be besieged by the Lizardman Tribe and Bogang.
After doing all this, Levi left the island.
Now Levi didn't know where he was, but since these sailors could come here by boat, they must be not far from the continent of the Seven Kingdoms, otherwise they would have been swallowed up by the storm in the sea long ago.
He found a direction and moved forward through the air.
At Levi's current speed, he would see the coastline in a few days.
“I’m back.”
…
The year 1085 of the Holy Hui Calendar, the month of the north wind.
Stormwind City by the Sea.
In the Shining Tavern, Levi sat in a box.
In front of him was a glass of Lion King's liquor.
This reminded him of the Joestar family in the Loess Continent. He wondered what their situation was like now.
Opposite Levi, Kelvin sat there awkwardly, telling Levi about the past events nervously.
Kelvin wondered if this ancient saint might have slept in the volcano for too long.
I don't know what year it is now.
"The Emerald Kingdom is gone."
Levi felt a little emotional. The last time he came back to the human world, the Emerald Kingdom was already at the end of its road, but it had not yet perished.
He didn't expect that in just fifty years, a kingdom would be gone.
He can also be considered a witness to history.
Kingdoms will fall, families will disappear, but I will not.
This is exactly the longevity that Levi pursued.
"My Lord Ancient Saint...how do you know my great-grandfather?" Kelvin said.
He still doesn't know Levi's true identity, and Levi hasn't mentioned to him that Kelvin also needs to take an assessment to join the Dusk Knights.
It doesn't mean you can join just because you have good talent.
He just happened to return to the human world, and he planned to let Kelvin stay with him in the future so that he could test the bloodline of this old friend.
"Your great-grandfather was a good lord. I once met him." Levi said.
"My great-grandfather actually knew such a powerful being like our predecessor, but he never mentioned it to us younger generations," Kelvin said.
"I see that your seed of life has now transformed and reached the level of a great human knight. The Silver Mountain Family has produced a good descendant." Levi said with a smile.
"Senior, you also understand the way of chivalry?" This time, Kelvin was even more shocked.
This ancient saint knows so much about human chivalry. Doesn't this mean that this group of lizardmen have already infiltrated the human world?
"The longer you live, the more you understand about everything." Levi sighed.
These days, Levi was not in a hurry to go to Dusk Island.
Instead, he planned to observe the current situation in the world first.
Although fifty years may not be a time of dramatic change, things and people are certainly different.
"Although your knight talent is good, if you want to advance to the legendary level, in addition to talent, character and perseverance are indispensable. If you are interested, you can follow me to hone your skills for a period of time. It will not be difficult for you to advance to the legendary level one day." Levi said lightly.
"Senior, I do!" Kelvin said.
He saw that this ancient sage did not seem to have that much malice towards humans. He was like an outsider, watching the changes in the world.
This is a true strong man. No matter whether he is a knight or not, as long as he can practice with him, it will not be difficult for him to advance to a legendary knight in the future.
Levi did this out of his nostalgia for Earl Silver Mountain.
He made his fortune in Blackwater Valley, and Icewind City helped him tremendously. There, he completed his first transformation and gradually got rid of the threat of the clutches of the Duke of Black Mountain.
Levi took Kelvin and headed towards the Flower City. They rode their horses and moved forward leisurely.
The city appeared in his memory before his eyes, and Levi actually felt excited about returning home.
The tall horse slowly stopped in front of the gate of Flower Castle.
Guarding the gate were two powerful knights.
"Not bad, we can actually use the big knight to guard the goal, but this is a bit too high-profile... This Andrew still hasn't learned the essence of my hiding place, I have to teach him a lesson." Levi felt helpless.
"Who is coming?" the big knight guard asked coldly.
"I'm here to visit the owner of the castle. You go and inform him that Geralt is here to see me." Levi could actually sneak in, but he always felt that it was a bit strange that he couldn't go back to his own home openly.
Geralt is the identity he used when he returned to the human world this time, and it is also the secret code between him and Andrew.
"Senior, do you know Baron Reed?" Kelvin said.
Levi nodded and said, "Old friend."
Kelvin didn't expect that the plain-looking Baron Reed actually knew such a terrifying existence as the Ancient Saint.
When Baron Reed invited him to join an organization with infinite light and future, he refused without a second thought.
Looking back now, it was still too hasty.
Although the great knight guard didn't know who Geralt was, he was called senior by a young great knight, so he must be no ordinary person.
He was also perceptive and went to report it immediately.
Soon, Baron Reed, played by Andrew, appeared at the door.
"My dear Geralt, welcome." Andrew smiled happily. He had been looking forward to seeing his master come back for a long time.
"Baron Reed, how are you?" Levi said with a smile.
The master and servant entered the castle and the iron gate slowly closed.
In a secret room, Levi set up a magic circle to isolate and silence the sound, and then said: "Well done, I didn't expect this territory to still exist."
"The current king is the younger brother of a member of our Twilight Knights. It is easy for us to protect our territory." Andrew said with a smile.
On the other side, Kelvin was confused. He felt that he seemed to have come into contact with an extremely powerful secret organization, and the Ancient Saint was the leader of this secret organization.
"The Knights of Dusk, is this the organization that Baron Reed invited me to join? I actually refused." Kelvin's heart was in a mess. He had been in a state of confusion ever since his family was destroyed.
No wonder the Ancient Saint is so proficient in the ways of chivalry, he himself is the leader of a knightly order.
Levi learned more about the current situation in the world from Andrew.
The Moon Cult, the Death Society, the Werewolf Brotherhood, the Ghoul Lodge, the Wilderness Brotherhood, the Silence Monastery, the Temple of War and other major forces and sects have all begun to make moves in the Seven Kingdoms and plan for the revival of the demon tide.
There was originally a new Holy Snake Society, but this organization collapsed before it could even rise and was directly controlled by Levi.
"Next, the world will enter a period of real strife. Isn't this my chance?
My strength may be average in the wizard world, and I can't be ranked among the big names, but in the human world, I am a hidden big name. Even the saints of the church may not be stronger than me now. As long as I don't take the initiative to provoke the church, I can achieve great things in this world!"
Andrew took out a storage bag and handed it to Levi respectfully.
"Here are the things I have collected over the years, all of which may interest you."
Levi nodded.
He took the storage bag and took a quick look.
After fifty years of collecting, there are more than three hundred breathing method inheritance diagrams here, all of which were copied using special recording stone tablets, with functions similar to those of cameras in previous lives.
This is the prop that Levi gave to Andrew when he left the world last time. It makes it easier for Andrew to do business with those knights or nobles who possess breathing techniques.
After all, the only copies of the breathing method are family heirlooms. It would be too difficult to collect the only copies directly, but if you just collect the replicas, the difficulty will be greatly reduced.
Among them, there are ten films of perfect or legendary quality, more than forty films of excellent quality, and the rest are of superficial quality.
The reason why he could collect so many breathing techniques was inseparable from the Temple of Dusk. It was because the Temple of Dusk attracted knights from many families, and then relying on the temple, Andrew was able to collect so many breathing techniques.
Of course, some of them were found by Andrew himself.
"This way, I won't have to worry about breaking the limit of my breathing method in the future."
Levi was in a good mood.
After obtaining the breathing method inheritance map, Levi bid farewell to Andrew and Kelvin and continued to travel in the Peacock Kingdom.
On the one hand, it is to reminisce about the past, and on the other hand, it is to witness some changes in the human world with one's own eyes through traveling, analyze the situation in the human world, and facilitate one's subsequent actions.
It was during the winter month that Levi and Kelvin ended their journey.
Kelvin basically passed all his tests, so he took Kelvin across the ocean, came to the Devil's Sea, and saw the island hidden in the fog.
"I don't know how the Knights are developing now."
As soon as he arrived at Dusk Island, Kelvin's eyes turned to the magnificent temple hidden among the mountains.
After spending some time with Levi, Kelvin also learned that the Ancient Saint was the leader of the Knights of Dusk.
Only legendary knights are qualified to be official members of the Dusk Knights!
This was completely beyond Kelvin's imagination. What kind of organization had a minimum entry requirement of being a legendary knight? Could they recruit people for this organization in the world?
However, when he arrived at the Temple of Dusk and saw several knights with powerful auras instructing the reserve members of the Knights Templar on the training ground, he knew that he had entered a new world.
The Blood Knight, the Black Knight, and the Divine Light Knight, three powerful warriors, are now stationed on Dusk Island.
Dusk Island has always been a reclusive island, and rarely takes action unless Levi's territory is in crisis.
Therefore, most of the time, these three strong men were practicing and training the members of the Knights on Dusk Island.
Among them, the Knight of Divine Light joined the latest, so much so that Levi didn't even know him.
Seeing Levi coming, the Blood Knight and the Black Knight looked excited.
"Knight of Divine Light, let us introduce you to an important figure, hehehe." The Black Knight said happily.
The Divine Light Knight's expression changed, and she followed the Black Knight and the Blood Knight. She felt uneasy, wondering if it was the Ultimate Knight who had entered the supreme realm of knighthood?
With an uneasy mood, the Knight of Divine Light met this important man.
The big shot was wearing ordinary knight armor and looked ordinary, with loose silver hair and an angular face that revealed the vicissitudes of life.
Those eyes were deep and far-reaching, and it was obvious that they had experienced a lot.
"Captain! You are finally back. You have been gone for fifty years!" The Black Knight laughed.
"Yes, in the blink of an eye, it has been fifty years." Levi sighed. Staying in the wizarding world for a long time can easily make people forget the passage of time.
"It seems that you two have broken through the shackles of legend and stepped into the second step of the way of knight." Levi felt the powerful blood and energy of the two, which was similar to that of Emperor Mu.
“Without the captain to show us the way, we would die of old age without ever entering a new realm,” the Black Knight sighed.
"By the way, Captain, this is the Knight of Divine Light. Our new member is from the royal family of the current Peacock Kingdom." said the Blood Knight.
As the deputy leader, he is also qualified to recruit new members, and Levi also believes in the Blood Knight's vision.
"Welcome to join me, Knight of Divine Light. I am the leader of the Knights of Dusk, Knight of the Extreme Way."
"Divine Light Knight Denise greets the captain!" Denise inserted her sword into the ground in front of her, knelt on one knee, and saluted Levi.
This is a great gift from a knight to his lord in human culture.
"Please stand up." Levi raised his hand slightly, and Denise's kneeling body stood up uncontrollably.
This is a very common second-level spell. Li Weilu did not use this to show off.
I haven't been back for a long time, and I need to establish my prestige among the members of the Knights Templar.
Where does the prestige of a knight come from? It’s strength.
"Thank you, Captain." Denise stood upright, looking heroic.
Kelvin looked very excited, as if Granny Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.
“The Blood Knight and the Black Knight are all legendary figures mentioned by the bards. They are still alive. Not only are they alive, they have even broken through the legendary realm long ago and entered a realm that no other legendary knight in history has ever reached.
Then how powerful is this ancient saint who founded the Knights, or the Extreme Knight? If the Way of the Knights, Legend is just the first step... then I, the Great Knight, have not even started yet?"
At this moment, Kelvin finally realized that the Cavaliers were not antiques from the old times. He just had a narrow view of the world and was ignorant.
In this uninhabited overseas land, this group of hermit knights have already been opening up a new path for knights.
"I'll have a chance to avenge myself." Kelvin thought of the blue frost undead monster that easily destroyed his territory.
If I had the strength of the Blood Knight, perhaps I would be able to fight against that weirdo.
Baron Reed did not lie to him, this really was an organization with infinite light and future!
"Now, our Twilight Knights are full of talented people. Next, the world will usher in a dramatic change with the intersection of the celestial sphere and the revival of the magic tide. I have returned this time to lead you all to welcome the ongoing changes of the times! Let us, the Twilight Knights, rely on this new wave to soar to the sky!"
Levi said, extremely confident.
He has lived for nearly a hundred years, quietly accumulating experience along the way, but never making it public.
Now, it is finally time for all of this to bear fruit.
Next, the Dusk Knights will become a giant behind-the-scenes force in the world, stirring up the storm and rising with great fanfare.
After returning to Dusk Island, Levi listened to the Blood Knight's report on the Dusk Knights in his own captain's hall.
As of now, this does not include Levi and the branch he founded in the wizarding world.
The Twilight Knights in the human world have a total of four legendary knights: the Blood Knight, the Black Knight, the Divine Light Knight, and the Hogg Knight.
Among them, Knight Hogg, with the Dongji Empire as the center, quietly developed his subordinates in the Seven Kingdoms and secretly looked for some knight seedlings in various major families. After passing the assessment, they were sent to Dusk Island to become reserve members.
In addition to assessment, every reserve member of the Knights Templar is also required to sign a special contract. If they violate the contract, they will be hunted down by all other members.
The Blood Knights and the Black Knights are the two pillars of the Knights of Dusk. Over the past fifty years, they have overcome countless difficulties and obstacles.
The Divine Light Knight has only joined the Order for a short time and has not yet broken through the shackles of legend. He is mainly responsible for teaching the Knights Templar combat skills and guiding their training.
In addition, there are currently more than twenty Grand Knights on Dusk Island, of which there are four top Grand Knights and one "quasi-legendary" strongman like the Fist of the Empire.
As for low-level, mid-level, high-level, and peak knights, there are nearly two hundred of them.
With such specifications, even if we leave aside the legendary knights, looking at the situation before the revival of the demon tide, it is simply a case of killing gods and Buddhas.
You know, according to Levi's previous estimates, in the history of the Emerald Kingdom, under normal circumstances, there are only more than a hundred great knights alive in the world.
This means that his own Dusk Knights already have one-fifth of the combat power of a country in terms of the great knights.
The "Seven Knights of the North", "The King's Seven Swords", "Seven Paladins of the World" and the like are simply not worth mentioning compared to the Knights of Dusk.
In addition to personnel, according to statistics, a large part of the members of the Knights of Dusk are great nobles from the Seven Kingdoms, which means that the Knights of Dusk also indirectly controls many territories of the Seven Kingdoms and has established an extremely powerful network of relationships, connections, and intelligence.
As for his own gold coin wealth, he had no shortage of it.
"Good, good, good! Very good, you have worked hard over the years."
Levi was in a good mood as he listened to the Blood Knight's report.
"There are still many problems that cannot be solved with our current capabilities..." said the Blood Knight.
"What's the problem? Tell me about it."
“For example, the reserve members are required to keep the organization’s situation confidential. The current contract is more of a deterrent, and there is no way to truly sign a soul contract like in the wizarding world.
I am worried that with so many people, and a mixed bag of good and bad people, there will inevitably be some bad apples in the future who will leak the existence of the organization to forces like the church. If that happens, it will bring a great disaster to the organization that still needs to develop.
There is also the issue of the secret medicine for the Knight's Breathing Technique. As more and more knights arrived on the island, the secret medicine in our temple was no longer sufficient.
For example, the ambergris of the drake, which is needed for many powerful breathing techniques, is almost extinct due to our rampant hunting. Later, we realized that this was not sustainable, so we tried to capture the drake alive and breed it artificially, but we were unsuccessful.
The lack of secret medicine means that most knights are actually practicing hard without any secret medicine, and the speed of practice is very unsatisfactory. "
The Blood Knight sighed and spoke of the dilemma the Knights were currently facing.
"I have been thinking about the two questions you mentioned recently. For the first question, I plan to use my wizard knowledge to research a contract magic weapon. This magic weapon can collect a trace of soul power. In the future, every new reserve member who joins the Temple of Dusk will need to contribute a trace of soul power to the magic weapon. In this way, we can truly control these members and prevent some ghosts or traitors from endangering the organization.
As for the second problem, I also have a solution, but it will take some time to prepare.
We at the Temple of Dusk are not a charity organization. From now on, every reserve member who wants to obtain knight knowledge and secret medicine will need corresponding [equivalent exchange]. This is the trading principle advocated by many wizards, and we can do the same.
Moreover, a true knight cannot be born in an ivory tower. A knight must go through battles of blood and fire to be honed.
The resurgence of the magic tide is also an opportunity for these knights to participate in more battles, to hone their combat skills and awareness, and to refine their breathing techniques. "
"Indeed, I can feel that the activities of dark creatures are becoming more and more frequent." The Blood Knight said solemnly.
After the Blood Knight finished his work report, Levi began to carefully study the breathing methods he learned from Andrew.
Among the hundreds of breathing methods, there are only six that involve perceptual breathing.
They are "Jellyfish Breathing Method", "Mirage Beast Breathing Method", "Cloud Insect Breathing Method", "Great Nightmare Breathing Method", "Sky Butterfly Breathing Method" and "Dream Dragon Breathing Method".
The jellyfish, cloud insect, and air butterfly breathing methods are all of superficial quality.
However, the Mirage Beast and the Great Nightmare Breathing Technique are of excellent quality.
As for the last "Dream Dragon Breathing Method", it is actually of perfect quality!
This put Levi in a good mood.
"I guess Andrew has collected almost all the breathing techniques that can be collected in the world in the past fifty years. It will be difficult to collect new breathing techniques in the future, unless you find... the land abandoned by the gods."
So many breathing methods are enough for him to deduce the perception type breathing method to a level comparable to the other five dimensions.
In the near future, the prototype of one's sixth dimension will also appear.
"The only problem is that the secret medicine materials required for these perception-type breathing methods are too weird..."
Apart from jellyfish, Levi had never heard of the other five secret medicines.
"No matter what, without the secret medicine, I will just use the proficiency panel to grind. Anyway, with my current state, these shallow and excellent quality breathing methods will not take long. The more troublesome one is the perfect quality Dream Dragon Breathing Method."
This Dream Dragon Breathing Method requires a creature called the Nightmare Lizard, which should have long been extinct in the human world.
Levi had never heard of it in the wizarding world.
The Menglong Breathing Method is an antique that Andrew bought from an antique dealer. In this era, there are no longer any practitioners.
"Let's practice other breathing techniques first, and we'll talk about the Dream Dragon Breathing Technique later. Maybe there are nightmare lizards or similar creatures in that other dimension."
Li Wei calmed his mind and devoted himself to the practice of these perception-type breathing techniques.
At the same time, exploration plans for different dimensions are also being prepared.
Levi planned to explore on his own after he had mastered the fourthteenth level of his Golden Snake Breathing Technique, which was the second transformation of his blood source, to get a general idea of the situation in the alien dimension. Anyway, he could pretend to be an ancient saint or a lizardman, so he should be able to blend in.
After figuring out the situation, he led the Dusk Knights to another world to collect resources, which could be considered an experience for them.
In the future, Levi wants to move the headquarters of the Dusk Knights to another dimension and let the Dusk Knights directly dominate this dimension.
I am the plane lord Levi.
Levi also wanted to explore overseas to see if there was a so-called "land forsaken by God".
Likewise, the connection with the wizarding world cannot be severed.
You also need to go to the wizarding world regularly to collect wizard knowledge, and you cannot neglect your own wizarding ways.
If possible, bring back Mudi, Dinos, and the trusted companions of the Gray Tower from the chaotic wizarding world.
In this way, based on the Gray Tower, a wizard force was formed to assist the Knights. After all, it was too difficult for the Knights to grow to be on par with the wizards in a short period of time.
Moreover, the knight's long-range combat capability is still too poor compared to that of a wizard. In the future, when exploring new planes, with the assistance of wizards, it should be a dimensionality reduction attack on the so-called ancient saint civilization.
Levi now controls two unknown secret passages.
He can move freely in and out of the three worlds, and maybe in the future he can become a trader, using the resources he gets from other dimensions to exchange for what he needs in the wizarding world.
In short, these two channels are the capital for Levi's future rise.
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, Levi had been in the world for two years.
The year 1087 of the Holy Hui Calendar, the month of flowers.
The newly born Maurya Kingdom has encountered various disasters in the past few years.
The terrifying blue frost monster, called the "Blue Frost Mage" by the church, destroyed Icewind City and killed the church's four-winged paladin.
The saint was furious, and sent one of the seven saints with a sealed holy object to hunt down the Blue Frost Mage. Eventually the Blue Frost Mage escaped into the Kingdom of Eternal Night, passed through the blue light, and escaped into the Blue Frost Plane.
This matter has come to an end.
However, then, an even more terrible disaster struck.
A year ago, a strange plague suddenly spread in some cities of the neighboring Tuva Empire. The mortals infected with the plague developed boils on their bodies and suffered great pain. Many mortals died in agony, especially the elderly, the weak and the sick, who basically did not survive the harsh winter of the previous year.
The priests of the Storm Church rushed to treat the plague with the prepared holy water, but it had little effect.
Soon, the plague spread from the Tuva Empire to the southern region of the Maurya Kingdom along with the caravans. Now, the plague has also begun to appear in many noble territories of the Maurya Kingdom.
This put the kingdom in a panic, and it could only place its hopes on the Holy Light Church. The church sent saints to investigate, and the priests were also working intensively to develop holy water.
…
In the city of flowers.
Andrew frowned as he looked at the cremated body.
"Sir, the bodies of those who died of plague in the city have all been cremated." The servants all wore special bird-beak masks and chemical protective suits, wrapped tightly to prevent infection.
These things were all researched by Levi and can effectively reduce the probability of being infected by the plague.
"This plague is a bit strange. A knight-level warrior has actually been infected and died..." Andrew murmured. He now felt that this plague was not as simple as everyone imagined. "It's a pity that the master is in seclusion at a critical moment. Otherwise, with his knowledge, he should be able to solve this problem."
Ever since he acquired those perception-type breathing techniques, Levi has entered a two-year retreat mode. During this period, he stayed in the temple overseas and experienced the joy of being the ancestor of a sect.
He could assign anything to his subordinates without having to do it himself, including several incidents of dark creatures attacking his territory, which were all resolved by the Knights of Divine Light and the Blood Knights.
Levi is a complete hands-off boss.
"It's better to be the head of a chicken. In the wizarding world, being the tail of a phoenix, you won't be able to enjoy this kind of treatment."
Levi came out from his retreat and breathed in the fresh air outside.
After two years of seclusion, he has already mastered all other perception-type breathing methods except the Dream Dragon Breathing Method.
Moreover, after a fusion, an eleventh-level legendary breathing method was born.
Levi——
Sky Nightmare Breathing: Level 11 (Extreme), Special Effects: Synesthesia (Level 3), Danger Sense, Nightmare Walker, Heart of Sky Wind.
