Endless sea.
Spark Wizarding Academy.
Huffman's office.
"You're not dead?" Levi asked.
"Nonsense, who am I, Huffman? How can I die so easily? The life of a halfling is very tough!" Huffman said with a smile.
"You were the one who faked my death."
"yes."
"Thank you very much."
"You kid... Alas, it's not appropriate to call you that now. After all, you have already entered the fourth ring. It's hard to imagine."
"Didn't you also step into the Fourth Ring?"
"How can they be the same? I have been practicing for many years, and you have only been practicing for a short time... To reach the fourth ring, I have already exhausted all my life's efforts and luck." Huffman was speechless.
"Although you halflings are not immortal, your lifespan is slightly longer than that of ordinary wizards. You still have a good hope of getting the fifth ring." Levi comforted.
"Forget it, stop comforting me. I accept my fate. Anyway, I will teach here and make money in the future. I have the protection of the Yuanhun wizard and I want a stable life." After experiencing the Rapids City Incident, Huffman has become indifferent to money.
"Yes, being alive is more important than anything else." Levi agreed deeply.
After chatting with Huffman for a while, Levi left.
He felt much better knowing that Huffman was still alive.
He was thinking about identifying the five-ring magical weapon, so he had no time to waste.
He thought about it and decided to go find Ms. Triss.
…
Pluto City.
The witch's shop.
Celia is still here guarding the shop, and the little witch Klee is still helping.
"Celia, is Ms. Triss here?" Levi asked.
Celia was stunned when she heard the familiar voice.
"Sir Levi, didn't you go on a long journey? It's only been seven years, and you're back? Oh my God, you're already... in the fourth ring?" Celia opened her mouth with an incredulous look in her eyes.
She felt Levi's mental power and found that it was indeed not on the same level as hers.
Levi smiled slightly: "Lucky, it worked."
"I'm really so envious...I'd be willing to trade my lifelong singleness for a chance at a fourth ring." Celia's tone was filled with nothing but envy.
"Work hard, Miss Celia. Genius is 99% inspiration and 1% talent." Levi thought about it and told a white lie.
"Thanks for your encouragement... By the way, Ms. Triss is here. If you need help, go and find her." Celia sighed and continued reading.
"Sir Levi is handsome again." The little witch Klee also said playfully.
Levi pinched her little face and chanted a spell to enter the witch's house.
at the same time.
In the inner city of Pluto City.
Aini Mansion.
The top floor of the wizard tower.
Eniya opened his eyes in the secret training room. His eyes were as sharp as lightning.
Golden elemental swords were spinning around him continuously.
"Hahaha, fifteen years! I only secluded myself for fifteen years, and I have completed the transformation from the third ring to the fourth ring! Not only that, I have successfully passed the transition period. Only in this way can I be considered a true fourth-ring wizard!"
Enya laughed heartily, feeling indescribably happy.
He is rather reserved and silent in front of outsiders.
In fact, when he is alone, he is also a reserved person.
"Don't be proud. Mother said that on the list of people from the Witch House going to the Dark Ancient Tower this time, there is a child of the water element, the Phantom Witch Sera. She started meditating at the age of three, became a formal wizard at the age of fifteen, and reached the second ring at the age of thirty... Now she is already a senior fourth ring wizard, and she is only one hundred and fifty years old!
Compared to her, I am still inferior. We were born in the same year, but I have just entered the fourth ring road. There is nothing to be proud of.
Sir Levi, you should not have reached the fourth ring yet, come out and see what he is doing, hehe."
Enya still has some desire to win and wants to be stronger than Levi in front of his mother.
"Master Enya, you have made a breakthrough? I will tell Ms. Triss the good news right away." Drake, the old butler of the Five Rings, said happily.
"Drake, don't tell mother yet. I plan to go to the witch's house in person and give her some surprises." Enya said with a smile.
"Hahaha, I understand, go ahead." Drake said.
Eniya walked with a brisk pace, feeling quite proud and triumphant.
He arrived at Levi's residence and rang the doorbell.
A white wolf girl in a maid outfit opened the door.
"Sir Aniya? Is there anything wrong?" Aljeta was cooking.
"Aljeta, where is Lord Levi?" Enya said with a smile.
"The master is out... I don't know where he went. He never tells us servants when he goes out." Aljeta pouted.
"I understand. Pluto City has been in unrest recently. Miss Aljeta, please remember to close the magic circle." Enya reminded warmly.
"Thank you, you are such a rare good wizard." Aljeta said with blinking eyes, deeply moved.
Moreover, he is handsome.
Of course, compared to his master, this kind of handsomeness is nothing worth mentioning!
…
Triss's residence.
The lady is taking a bath again.
Levi could only wait patiently below.
Not long after, Triss came to the living room barefoot in a bathrobe. She didn't use magic to dry her hair, but preferred to let it dry naturally, just like Levi didn't like to use a hair dryer in his previous life.
"You really keep surprising me." Triss suddenly sighed. "In seven years, you have advanced to the fourth ring and completed the liquefaction of mental power. Looking at the Witch House, only a very few elemental children can do it."
Levi thought it was not seven years, but three years.
But he won't explain, which is better.
If Triss knew that he would be completely liquefied in three years, he was worried that Triss would not be able to resist and dissect him.
"Good luck." Levi smiled slightly.
"You seldom approach me on your own initiative. Is there something you want to talk to me about this time?" Triss asked.
"I want to ask about the Dark Ancient Tower..." Levi thought for a moment and said with some embarrassment.
Triss had actually guessed that Levi would ask this.
She looked unhappy, and then whispered, "Alas, I didn't get you a place. I will compensate you with something else of equal value. I, Triss, will not easily owe favors to others."
If Levi hadn't gotten the small tower, he might have been disappointed.
So he pretended to be slightly disappointed, then smiled: "Madam, don't mind. I am not particularly obsessed with the Dark Ancient Tower."
"Actually, I have selfish motives in wanting you to join the Dark Tower. Well, let's not talk about it." Ms. Triss said.
"Madam, I have a favor to ask of you." Levi took the opportunity to say.
"What's going on?" Triss asked.
"I would like you to identify a magical weapon for me."
"What kind of magical weapon? Take it out and let us see it."
Levi hesitated for a moment, but still took out the snake-shaped ring magic weapon with the head and tail connected.
Triss took the magic weapon and seemed to be reminiscing.
"This magical weapon seems to be the family magic weapon of a five-ring family in the inner sea area, the Devo family...but they were destroyed by the black wizard, and the magic weapon disappeared. It seems that little guy, you went on a long journey this time to hunt down the black wizard." Triss smiled.
"It's just a chance..."
"Okay. It's a piece of cake for me to identify this magical weapon. Compared with the qualification to enter the Dark Ancient Tower, it's nothing. Just consider this as a gift from me as a friendship... I will find a way to compensate you in the future." Triss said.
"Okay, thank you ma'am, looking forward to it!" Levi joked.
After gradually understanding the temper of this Yuanhun wizard, he began to relax.
"I'm optimistic about you. I have a feeling that one day, you'll be famous in the Endless Sea, young man." Triss patted Levi's shoulder with her slender hand, her eyes affirmative.
"If you don't enter the Yuanhun realm, you don't have the qualifications to be famous in the Endless Sea. I'm still far from it."
"That's true...but I believe you. By the way, a senior wants to meet you. I wonder if you are interested." Triss asked.
"Which senior?"
"Lady Idrasera."
Levi was shocked.
Isn't this the pure-blooded dragon fairy banyan dragon?
Why would such a strong man want to see me?
Could it be that he discovered his identity as a dragon?
Levi's dragon bloodline has long since separated from the existing pure-blood dragon system.
Logically speaking, the other party shouldn't notice it.
"Then let me meet you." Levi said after thinking for a while.
Triss put on her robe and was about to take Levi out the door when a handsome and elegant silver-haired wizard came towards them excitedly.
It was Enya who had just made a breakthrough and came to report the good news.
"Mother, Lord Levi..." Enya stayed where she was.
"Aniya, you have made a breakthrough?" Triss looked calm, but she was secretly delighted.
"Yes, Lord Levi, you have also made a breakthrough?" Enia asked.
"Yes...wait, Ms. Triss is your mother?" Levi looked at Triss with a strange expression.
Triss shrugged and nodded.
"Just for you to know. I don't like to let others know about this."
"I see." Levi thought thoughtfully.
Now it seems that it was Triss who arranged for Enya and myself to carry out the mission.
Just now, Triss said that she had selfish motives in letting herself participate in the Dark Tower, which might also be related to Eniya.
"Aniya, is there anything else?" Triss asked.
Enya was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "No more."
He just wanted to get some encouragement and praise from his mother, who was a Yuanhun wizard.
However, the mother was obviously very calm, as if breaking through the fourth ring was not a big deal.
Yes, Lord Levi obviously started his retreat later than me, but he broke through the fourth ring before me.
With such a good example in front of me, it’s no wonder that my mother is so calm.
Wait, Lord Levi, could it be that your mother has a child with someone else?
Aniya was lost in thought.
"I am, after all, not as good as him..."
Aniya left here feeling a little lost, intending to be alone.
Levi was a little embarrassed.
"Ma'am, is this okay?"
He had already seen through Triss's intention.
"I can't let him become complacent just because he's the son of a spirit wizard. If he does that, he won't know how he died in this cruel wizard world." Triss said earnestly. "And I want to set an example for him, a goal for him to pursue."
Levi was silent.
He followed Lady Triss to the base of the magic tree.
The Xianrong Dragon is sleeping again at this moment.
Triss chanted some spells.
Not long after, Xianrong Dragon slowly opened his eyes and looked at the little guy who appeared in front of him.
"Thanks, Triss," she said.
The next moment, Levi felt the world spinning and he came to a strange space.
"We are inside the magic tree here. No one can hear us talking," said Idrasera.
"What do you want to see me about?" Li Wei asked.
"You are not an ordinary dragonborn. I can feel that you have dragon blood in your body that is beyond my knowledge, and there is more than one kind..."
Levi was silent. It seemed that the pure-blooded dragons could sense the dragon blood in his body.
"You don't have to panic. As the guardian of the Witch House, I will definitely not do anything to you, and that will not do me any good. I called you here because I want to make a deal with you," she said.
"What deal?" Levi asked without directly refusing.
He is only a fourth-ring wizard. Even Triss calls this Fairy Banyan Dragon a senior. She must be a seventh-ring or even eighth-ring old dragon lady.
"I want you to enter the Dark Ancient Tower and retrieve a treasure. The treasure is on the fifth floor of the Dark Ancient Tower. Someone in the Witch House has seen it before. It is a treasure that looks like a Holy Grail."
Hearing this, Levi's heart moved.
The Holy Grail...ninety percent refers to the Holy Grail of Immortality!
The fourth treasure forged from the body of the forest king, the Banyan Dragon Deuces.
This Holy Grail of Immortality is actually inside the dark ancient tower.
No wonder Levi couldn’t find it even after turning the ancient saint plane upside down.
"Senior, I am not qualified to enter the Dark Ancient Tower... Besides, with my strength, how can I snatch it from those Five-Ring Wizards and Yuanhun Wizards? This treasure must be important to you, senior. It's not that I don't want to help you, but I am powerless." Levi said helplessly.
"You are now qualified to enter the Dark Ancient Tower." Idrasera said lightly.
Then, a gorgeous flower wrapped in a small tower appeared in this magical space.
Then, the small tower entered Levi's body and disappeared, and it no longer emitted the light that attracted other wizards.
"Senior, this is..."
"For me, it is not difficult to get a key. This key is not within the quota of the Witch House, and it is not convenient to let the Witch House know about this. This is a secret between the two of us, little one." Idrosera explained.
Levi was shocked. They were indeed pure-blooded dragons. They were so powerful!
He now actually has two places to enter the Dark Tower.
In addition to himself, he can also bring one person in.
Life is really full of surprises.
"From the description of a wizard who entered the Dark Ancient Tower, I suspect that the Holy Grail was made from the flesh and blood of the Fairy Banyan Dragon. Many wizards who entered before, including Yuanhun wizards, have tried to take it away but failed. Even some dragonborn wizards have tried but failed. I suspect that... only dragonborn wizards with the blood of the Fairy Banyan Dragon can take it away."
"But even though I am a dragonborn, I am not a fairy banyan dragonborn."
Among all his breathing methods, the Immortal Banyan Dragon Breathing Method was not included from beginning to end.
"I know you are not, so I just let you try. There is no harm in giving it a try." Idrasera said. She had a feeling that Levi's special bloodline might be successful.
"In fact, there was originally a more suitable candidate than you, the Flower Witch. She has a faint blood of the Fairy Banyan Dragon in her body. It's a pity that she went on a plane trip, and I couldn't contact her."
Levi was a little surprised.
"The Hundred Flowers Knight is definitely not a dragonborn. The Fairy Banyan Dragon bloodline in her body should come from the breathing method...I see, no wonder she is called Hundred Flowers."
The Fairy Banyan Dragon is of the earth attribute, so it is called the "Forest King" in the mythology of the ancient saint plane. Its abilities are similar to some spells of the School of Life, which can promote the vigorous growth of all things.
After thinking for a while, Levi finally said: "Senior, I can try it, but what is the price of the transaction?"
In Levi's heart, the Holy Grail of Immortality is already in his pocket.
Even if he took it away, it was his own. How could he give it to Idrasera?
"A Horcrux."
Idrasera said.
Then, a stream of light appeared in front of Levi.
An ordinary-looking ancient book appeared in front of Levi.
“This is the Book of All Souls, a six-ring Horcrux that I obtained after killing a dark wizard from the School of Death.
Although it is only a six-ring soul weapon, this [Book of All Souls] is also very famous in the School of Death.
The dark wizard who created it was called the Soul-sucking Wizard. He took a different approach and gave up the traditional way of summoning. Relying on the corresponding black magic, he condensed thousands of evil spirits into the Horcrux, and even raised a soul-level evil spirit refined from the soul of a seven-ring wizard in it.
With the help of this Horcrux, ordinary Soul Wizards are no match for it.
Moreover, the advancement of this Horcrux is simpler than other Horcruxes.
You just need to keep refining more and more powerful evil spirits and add them into it to achieve advancement.
Theoretically, as long as you are strong enough and condense more evil spirits, this [Book of Ten Thousand Spirits] will have the opportunity to transform into a hundred thousand, a million, ten million, or even a [Book of Billion Spirits]. In a moment, billions of evil spirits will make way for the world to become purgatory. It is not a problem. "
Idrasera's voice was full of passion.
Levi's heart was burning with passion, but then he calmed down.
Horcruxes are very good. Any five-ring wizard weapon is weak in comparison.
But the problem is that treasures of the level of the Holy Grail of Immortality, like the Mirror of True Knowledge and the Round Table of Tea, have already gone beyond the category of magical weapons and are special treasures refined by Sauron.
Its function is definitely more powerful than the so-called Horcrux.
Besides, without the cultivation of a Yuanhun wizard, there is no way to use the Horcrux.
Moreover, after Levi advances to the Yuanhun realm, he will definitely refine his own natal soul weapon.
This Book of All Spirits can only serve as a foil.
Besides, this thing sounds like a typical dark wizard weapon.
Levi is not the kind of evil villain who is unforgivable and would destroy cities and kill people at will.
"Senior, this Horcrux is too vicious." Levi couldn't help but say.
"What are you afraid of? As long as anyone who sees you use this Horcrux becomes one of the evil spirits, that's it."
“…”
What he said made so much sense that Levi was speechless.
This Xianrong Dragon is also a tough character.
"Senior, I can only say that I will try. With my ability, there is a high probability that I cannot get it back." Levi thought for a while and said.
"When you get the Holy Grail, I will naturally give you the Horcrux. If you don't get it back, then forget it." Xianronglong said.
"I'll try my best."
"Remember, what happened today is a secret between the two of us, little one."
"clear!"
…
Leave the magic tree.
Levi returned home.
"It seems that Idrasera doesn't know what the Holy Grail is... When I meet it, if I can conquer it directly, why should I give it to her? Although the Horcrux is good, it is too far away for me."
Levi already had a plan in mind.
Idrasera didn't say that he must get the Holy Grail. She just asked Levi to try without holding out too much hope.
"Mobius, Ernis, Othros, do you three think that the person just now is a descendant of Deuces?" he suddenly asked.
"It's too long ago. The number of Xianrong dragons is extremely small. It seems that it is really possible." Mobius said.
Levi no longer hesitated.
With his strength, it is unknown whether he can reach the fifth floor.
One month later.
When Levi was practicing at home, Celia suddenly sent him a message, saying that Ms. Triss wanted to see him for something.
"It should be identified now."
Levi was a little excited.
A five-ring wizard weapon. This is a good thing that many five-ring wizards don’t have.
The most powerful magical weapon below the Horcrux!
Arrived at Triss's residence.
As expected.
Triss looked at Levi with a smile.
"I'm lucky. This five-ring magic weapon is indeed a family's inherited magic weapon. It contains three five-ring spells, more than twenty three-ring and four-ring spells, and many low-level spells.
There is no need to say much about the other things, let’s just talk about these three most important five-ring spells.
They are [Scorching World Serpent], [Ringing World Shield], and [Ouroboros Gate] respectively.
The first one, needless to say, is the most important means of attack of this magic weapon. It condenses a powerful five-ring fire snake to track and attack the enemy. I estimate that most five-ring wizards dare not resist it. Those below the fifth ring have no trump cards and will die if touched.
Of course, the magic power consumed is also huge. With your current magic power, you can only use it once at most, and then it will be drained away.
The second one is a five-ring protective spell, which is average and has decent defensive power.
The third one is the essence of this magical weapon, and also the core that can be called the best.
Cast [Ouroboros Gate] to create a short-distance portal out of thin air in front of you, which can teleport you to anywhere within sight!
Of course, the maximum distance cannot exceed one thousand miles. Moreover, after use, it needs to be kept for seven days.
At the same time, in some specific spaces, teleportation may not be possible.
There are also some special space spells that may limit your teleportation.
But generally speaking, space magic is knowledge that only Yuanhun wizards are familiar with, so you just need to avoid provoking Yuanhun wizards.
There are many other small functions. For example, there is a fourth-ring spell called [Snake Tongue], which can summon nearby snake creatures to fight for you.
I won't go into detail, just read the instructions yourself.
Oh, by the way, this magical weapon is called the Fire Ouroboros."
Levi solemnly took the instruction manual and magic weapon from Ms. Triss with a look of gratitude.
"Thank you ma'am!"
"Stop talking. I didn't get the Dark Ancient Tower qualification that I promised you. As a Soul Master, I'm really embarrassed..."
Triss sighed.
“…”
Levi left Triss excitedly.
"Ania, Ania, your mother has prepared two five-ring magical weapons for you. When will you be promoted to the fifth ring?" Triss said to herself as she watched Levi leave.
If Levi heard this, he would probably vomit blood on the spot, and then curse inwardly:
"Big dog owner!"
…
Three days later.
Levi quietly found a secluded place.
Tested the power of the Fire Ouroboros.
After draining all his magical power at once, a hundred-foot-long flaming snake flew out, steaming and boiling the sea surface in front of it, and the scene was quite spectacular.
In comparison, his own [Fire Dragon Tribulation] is far inferior.
Of course, after he is promoted to the fifth ring, the power of the Fire Dragon Tribulation will definitely not be worse than this [Scorching World Flame Snake].
"Oh my god, three hundred and twenty calories. It's a miracle that I survived." Levi felt a little scared.
After all the magic power is fully restored.
He tried the [Universal Shield] again, but his mental strength was drained again.
Then, a giant shield made of unbreakable fire snakes flew around him, and he remained motionless despite the attacks of the succubus, poisonous fire corpse demon and others.
Not only that, the fire damage rebounded from the giant flame shield almost burned the poisonous fire corpse.
"Too strong! What a pity! If I had this in the Ice Realm, maybe Salman and I could join forces and catch the witch off guard and seriously injure her."
The next day.
Levi regrouped and tried the one he was most looking forward to, [Ouroboros Gate].
After reciting the spell, there was no response at all.
"Not enough magic power?"
Levi tried many times.
I found that the magic weapon was still motionless.
He left here reluctantly.
The most core function of this portal should be a very advanced five-ring spell. With his current level of cultivation, even with a magical weapon, he cannot afford the consumption of magical power.
…
The 1134th year of the Holy Calendar, the original month.
The 103rd year of the Great Crusade.
Levi returned to the human world.
Dusk Island.
The Temple of Dusk.
Levi did not use the [Tea Talk Round Table] to hold the 32nd round table meeting of the Dusk Knights.
After hundreds of years, all the knights have gathered together in the world!
Inside the main hall.
At the round table, this time, everyone was no longer meeting based on consciousness projection.
Blood Knight, Black Knight, Holy Ape Knight, Golden Lion Knight, Ash Knight, Divine Light Knight, Goddess Knight, Silver Dragon Knight, Dark Moon Knight!
"The nine official members of the Dusk Knights have all arrived!" said the deputy leader, Blood Knight, excitedly.
Levi looked at the round table which was already half full and felt a little emotional.
It has been 113 years since the establishment of the Dusk Knights, and it is also a century-old secret organization!
Thinking back to the beginning, this organization was just an idea of himself and Emperor Mu, and the Blood Knight was completely fooled into it by Levi.
I am now a level four expert.
In addition, there are six level two strong men and three level one strong men. They are not top-notch in this world, but they are definitely not weak.
"Everyone has already known the Holy Ape Knight and the Goddess Knight for a long time, so I won't introduce them to you.
Everyone, as the demon tide revives, the power of elements gradually returns to the human world, and all major planes converge.
As far as I know, many wizarding organizations in the wizarding world have begun to send vanguard troops to settle in the human world!
In order to have a share of the future wave, we, the Twilight Knights, must not fall behind!
This time I came back, I also wanted to lead everyone, the church, the wizards, and those old secret organizations, to seize our interests in this era of upheaval!
Before that, everyone should work hard to improve your own strength. For example, Blood Knights and Black Knights, you are already at the peak of Bloodthirst Knights. The next step is to reach the Blood Source Realm, so hurry up.
Goddess, Silver Dragon, Dark Moon Knight, you must strive to break through the blood-thirst realm as soon as possible and master the method of transforming blood into wings. Otherwise, this world is so big, how are you going to travel on horseback?
Finally, the [Extreme Plan] that you mentioned has always been the direction I want to work towards.
I have placed the subsequent knowledge of "Bloodline Rune" in the temple. While you are practicing, you should hurry up to decipher the mystery of Bloodline Rune, create the talent mark of our knights, and thus give birth to the real extraordinary power!"
"It's so exciting. I have a feeling that the era of us knights is coming!" Mudi rubbed his hands, extremely excited.
After the meeting, all members immediately began to work in an orderly manner.
Practice, research, and honing your skills... everyone has their own things to do, and it is extremely fulfilling!
Levi returned to the ancient saint plane and began a short retreat.
Three months later, in the Imperial Palace.
Levi was as fierce as a snake and a dragon, sweating profusely as he finished practicing the last round of the Golden Snake Breathing Method.
Following the prompt on the proficiency panel, he stopped.
Levi——
Golden Snake Breathing Method: Level 14 (extreme, can evolve/advanced), special effects: Scales of Transformation (Level 2), Dragon's Deterrence, Golden Snake Playing in Water.
…
"Is the peak of the second transformation of blood source the limit of my Golden Snake Breathing Method?" Levi pondered in his heart.
However, he had already anticipated this day, so he was already practicing the corresponding breathing method as the raw material for breaking the limit.
However, it will take a lot of time to practice it up, after all, there are too many limit-breaking points required to break the limit.
He also wanted to take this opportunity to make a second variation on the Golden Snake Breathing Technique to make it more perfect.
Levi noticed that there were suddenly two more options for breaking the limit.
One is [evolvable], the other is [advanced].
You can click on these two options.
"It looks like the panel has been quietly updated again."
He thought about it and clicked it.
Then, a stream of information began to emerge in my mind.
After seeing it, Levi was stunned, and then became excited.
"The conditions for breaking the limit this time are different from the past. As expected, as my realm and knowledge reserves improve, the panel becomes more and more intelligent."
