The sea of stars.
An uninhabited sea area.
Three figures were surrounding the pink airship where Levi was.
Just like a group of lions hunting on the African savannah, they appear to have been lying dormant for a long time.
Finally, the airship slowly stopped, and Levi emerged from it with a slightly puzzled look on his face. He put away the airship and asked calmly, "What's up, everyone?"
In the past six months in Pluto City, he did not sense any danger or hostility.
But once we left the city, that feeling became lingering.
His intuition told him that this group of people must have planned it and definitely did not suddenly want to rob him.
But how did they hide their danger perception?
This was the question in Levi's mind.
"My sense of danger is essentially similar to some kind of innate ability of divination and foresight... If a powerful wizard who knows how to interfere with divination and foresight casts a spell, then I may not be able to detect it. After all, the sense of danger is not omnipotent...
In other words, my Nightmare Dragon Breathing Technique is too low, and the opponent's anti-interference ability is most likely at the Yuanhun level. Otherwise, the investigation work of the Tower of Stars would not be hindered everywhere!"
The more Levi thought about it, the more he felt that this auction accident was definitely not as simple as a dark wizard causing trouble.
Faintly, there seems to be a pair of big hands behind the scenes, standing in the clouds, manipulating everything and covering the endless sea with fog.
This is a level that I can never reach at the moment.
Therefore, all he can do is stay away from the vortex of disputes!
One word:
slip!
This is not the time to think too much.
These three wizards are all at the fourth-ring level, and the mental power fluctuations of one of them far exceed Levi's.
Compared with the Black Crow and the Raven, they are even better and are obviously senior fourth-ring wizards.
It was obvious that they were professionally trained, just like killers. Without any further ado, they directly cast three fourth-ring spells.
These spells include innate spells and common spells, from all factions.
For a moment, it was difficult for Levi to guess the forces behind this.
The Golden Dragon Sky Shield flew out, and some of the spells were bounced back, while others were blocked by the shield.
After such a violent attack, Levi stood there unharmed with a gloomy face, and he suddenly revealed a perverted smile.
"I'm about to leave, but you still insist on sending me food, I'd be disrespectful to refuse!"
A wizard in a white robe looked stunned. He sent a message to his two teammates, "This is not a magic weapon, but it has incredible power. It should be another rare treasure. This person is not simple. You two, don't try to hold back. Hurry up and complete the task and go back."
A moment.
More intense and more violent attacks came towards Levi.
The Golden Dragon Sky Shield was only at level one, and after blocking a wave of attacks, it returned to Levi's body.
However, along with the emergence of the golden snake image, a majestic giant snake appeared across the sky.
Levi raised his hand and a fire dragon appeared!
The terrifying fourth-ring spell arrived in an instant.
The force field of one of the fourth-ring wizards was broken. If he hadn't been protected by a magical weapon, he would have been seriously injured if not killed by this attack.
"What a powerful spell... This person is actually practicing both body training and magic!" A wizard was shocked.
"Quick, use the fourth-ring magic weapon to kill this man quickly. Don't give him a chance to react!" said the white-robed wizard.
In an instant, a bone spear appeared behind him.
Runes flow on the spear, emitting a sharp aura that seems to be able to penetrate everything!
At the same time, the other two fourth-ring wizards also sacrificed their own magical weapons.
A white bone ball and a giant bone sword!
"Which force is this?"
While fighting the enemy, Levi was analyzing his thoughts.
These three magical weapons are obviously standardized and are all made from the bones of some powerful supernatural creatures.
It seems that the power is not as good as the fine products made of elemental metals...but the techniques used are indeed four-ring magical weapons, and they must have been made by a master!
A moment.
All three magical weapons attacked!
With a bang.
Levi punched the flying ball.
The other two magical weapons hit his golden snake image, causing it to tremble continuously.
"burst!"
Levi shouted secretly.
His fist was golden, as if cast in gold!
With a click.
There are actually cracks on the surface of this bone ball.
"What? Shattering a magical weapon with bare hands? Even though this magical weapon was made casually by the owner and the materials are ordinary, it is definitely at the level of a fourth-ring magical weapon!
Even if he is a fourth-ring body-refining wizard, it is impossible for him to smash my magical weapon with one punch, right?
Everyone, this person is weird. He protects me and I use my killing moves. If we still cannot defeat him, then we will retreat decisively!
I'm worried that the target might ask his companions in the city for help, and maybe the law enforcers are on their way." said the white-robed wizard.
They always act very quickly, only targeting wizards of the same level, and always resolve the battle in a short while.
This time, I met a tough guy!
"Got it. Let the two of us hold him back while you use that thing... There are quite a few monster-level creatures among these bidders."
The other two wizards quickly controlled their magical weapons and did not confront Levi's fist head-on, but instead attacked him from various tricky angles.
But they made a sad discovery.
The guy in front of me has an abnormal defensive ability.
After finally breaking the golden snake's defensive force field, a long khaki snake defensive spell suddenly appeared.
Seeing Levi's fire dragon attack, they thought the target was the Burning Faction, but now they found that he also knew the Earth Faction's spells...
It's fine that you're practicing both body training and magic at the same time, but magic itself has to be practiced by two damn factions at the same time?
Does such a genius really exist?
Does he have forty-eight hours in a day?
Up to now, they haven't even touched the target once.
The only option now is to rely on the killer move of the white-robed wizard.
The wizard in white robe suddenly slapped his head.
The head cracked strangely, and a stream of black smoke came out.
A pitch-black arrow emitting some kind of strong corrosive force emerged.
This arrowhead seemed to be made from the bones of some supernatural creature. It looked weird and strange and must not be a good thing.
"This thing is disturbing my mind again... The magic weapon made from the corpse of the black beast is indeed not something that ordinary people can use. The side effects are too great. However, if I use this treasure, this person will definitely die."
Along with the crazy consumption of his magical power.
A sense of danger came from Levi's arm.
He shook off the magical weapons that were entangled with him, and layers of defense lit up, protecting himself in the center.
Seven layers of defense! It made him feel like he was in a tortoise shell!
Those wizards were simply stunned.
"Although this person's attack is powerful, it is still within common sense... This defense is too exaggerated. Has he only practiced defensive magic all his life?"
With a whoosh!
The black bone arrow shot out in an instant, and ripples appeared in the space wherever it passed!
"Come on, let's see whether your turtle shell is thicker or my arrow is sharper!" The white-robed wizard looked pale and sneered.
Once this arrow is thrown, it will definitely kill people!
"Prepare for the next round of spells to prevent the target from having a life-saving trump card and escaping! Remember to use control spells to block this area." The white-robed wizard arranged in an orderly manner.
The other two wizards began to cast their own four-ring innate spells. Terrifying waves trembled on the sea surface, and the wind and clouds began to change color.
A shrill, sharp voice was heard.
With one blow.
The arrow shattered the Golden Dragon Sky Shield, and the shield turned into light and poured into Levi's body, making it difficult for him to get up again in a short time.
The golden snake image dissipates the edge of the arrow.
The arrow exuded an unstoppable momentum and broke through the golden snake's image.
Then there are the Earth Dragon Barrier, the Heavy Water Barrier, and the Cold Wood Body!
A moment!
Break through Levi's five layers of defense!
Then, the arrow was stuck in the armor made of the golden witch's poisonous body and could not move.
"It was a close call, I was just two layers away from...breaking my skin!"
Levi was still frightened. He was just a fourth-ring wizard, but he had mastered this method. He was still careless.
"No, go back to the human world and quickly practice the fourth ring of protective force field and stack the eighth layer of armor, otherwise you will not feel safe!"
The white-robed wizard on the opposite side was so frightened that he almost fell from the sky and fainted.
"How is it possible? This person is definitely not the chosen one of the six towers. According to the intelligence, he is just a casual cultivator with some skills. My attack has a power of 170 cards! It is the real power of the five rings! How could it not break his defense?
Retreat! Our killer moves failed to penetrate the enemy's defenses!"
The white-robed wizard immediately flashed and was about to leave.
"Mind shock!"
Accompanied by some kind of terrifying mental shock sweeping across the sea!
The next moment, a black light flashed!
A sharp blade pierced his forehead and crushed his head, and his face was confused.
While they were fighting with their target, a thin wizard with a gloomy face quietly appeared.
It is the poisonous fire corpse demon controlled by the Mind Flayer!
The leading white-robed wizard's mental strength was scattered, and his head was pierced by the shadow, and he was definitely dead!
"Leave one alive! Guillermo." Levi said sternly.
He swung his right hand, and flames appeared ten feet high. In the flames, a red dragon appeared!
Black and white air currents entangled, and a sword came out!
The protective force field of a fourth-ring wizard who was fleeing in panic was shattered, and the magic weapon inside was cut in half.
Not long after, the poisonous fire corpse demon came to Levi carrying a dying four-ring wizard.
从这三人伏击李维再到团灭，也就几个回合的功夫，这些人战斗意识不错，配合也挺好，若是遇见其他的四环资深巫师，说不定都已经拿下了。
奈何，他们遇到了叠甲流爱好者。
再加上吉尔莫的帮助，解决他们，不费什么功夫。
他一拳将这个四环巫师打晕，并且用法术将其禁锢，而后让尸妖控制他，进入爱丽丝戒指。
他准备找个隐蔽的地方，看看是谁在背后作祟。
其他的尸体，则是被李维做成了金币，用于召唤欧文斯，灵魂也被其他的圣甲蝎吞噬。
修整一会儿，正准备离开之际，李维面色微变，感知到有熟人前来。
他想了想，把战场打扫了一番，当即动用猩红之影，身形快速消失在原地。
等到艾尼亚和塞拉来到的时候，海面上已经风平浪静。
“这里有战斗的痕迹残留，刚刚的波动，就是从这里逸散出去的。李维不会被那些人抓走了吧？我们还是来晚了……唉，主要是担心惊扰前面那人，不敢飞太快。”塞拉说道，已经想象得到，李维被一伙早就埋伏好的黑巫师围攻，最终不敌败亡的凄惨景象。
艾尼亚脸色凝重。
自从黑白巫师战争后，无尽海上，杀人夺宝，毁尸灭迹，已经是家常便饭的事情了。
艾尼亚自己也遭遇了很多次，不过都被他反杀。
“他一个人，怎么可能是团伙的对手……纵然是我，身为元素之子，也得费一番工夫才能解决。”塞拉说道，有些惋惜，她还没有亲自和李维切磋过呢。
“我觉得这么快就战斗结束，只有一个可能……要么李维遭遇了五环巫师，要么……那些人，被李维反杀。
如果是五环巫师的话，我们两个跟踪的，肯定早就被对方发现了，战斗逸散出来的波动也绝对比刚刚那样的强烈，因而这场战斗，并没有五环参与。
所以是李维反杀了对方，然后匆匆离开了，要不然以李维的实力，纵然是被好几个四环巫师围攻，也不至于如此短时间内落败！
我相信母亲的眼光，她看人很准的。”
艾尼亚认真分析了情况，冷静说道。
他以李维为目标，对于李维的行事风格，还是很了解的。
“这样的话，那敌人可能就刚刚那一个白袍巫师，应该不是团伙作案……据我所知，不光是我，如今六塔和我们同辈的四环天骄，那些元素之子们，也没有人可以短时间内解决好几位同级巫师。”塞拉说道。
古往今来，大组织的元素之子，基本上就代表一个境界内的战力天花板了，所以这样分析，也有道理。
“或许吧……看看有没有什么线索留下，我们也回去吧，最近外面太危险了。”艾尼亚望着远方，他倒觉得，敌人可能不止一人。
总之，法术和炼体双修，李维就算不是对手，也不可能出事。
用母亲的话说：“李维的命，硬着呢！”
……
群星海域和内环海域的交界地。
一处无人海域，红色光芒中浮现出李维的身形。
他找到一处岛屿，然后开辟出一个简单的庇护所，将法阵布设好。
“回去人间之前，先把这些战利品和那个人处理一下，别把麻烦带回去。”
李维将这三个人的战利品全部拿出来，一一清点。
清点完之后，他面色难看。
“总共才十几万的太石？完全不像是一个正常四环巫师该有的存款……
其他的物品里面，只有施法材料，一些补充消耗和疗伤的常规药水，以及几件制式巫器……除此之外，什么都没有！”
这种情况，说明一个问题。
那就是这三个人，并不是简单的黑巫师，而是某些组织的死士或者刺客。
他们只是奉命执行刺杀命令，所以身上不会带任何可以暴露身份的东西，更不会带着大额太石。
他们只是棋子，随时都会被主人抛弃，斩断联系，以免暴露自己。
“估计那人也问不出什么了……”
李维将爱丽丝戒指中那被尸妖控制的巫师放出来，却发现，对方早已经没有了气息。
“什么时候死的？”李维冷声问道。
“在进去戒指没多久就自杀了，我试图控制他，失败了。”吉尔莫无奈道。
“有备而来啊，看样子，这次拍卖会事故，不是寻常的黑巫师之流，因为黑太阳亚当，亦或者百兽狂巫，压根不会在意暴露自己的身份……他们甚至以上了凶榜为荣，每一次的黑巫师袭击事件，他们还会主动站出来宣布对此事负责，就是为了让自己的悬赏金再高一些。
看样子，这起事件的幕后黑手，本身在巫师世界，有一定的知名度和地位，说不定还口碑不错，所以才会这样偷鸡摸狗，小心翼翼的。”
李维将这人也转换为金币，他望着面前的三件白骨巫器。
一矛，一球，一剑。
“这种巫器的制作方法很高超，用强大超凡生物的骨骼这种相对低廉的材料，制作四环巫器，实现批量化生产……背后的人，是一位制器大师，应该是元魂级别的。”
这些白骨巫器虽然制作精妙，但是材质还是过于普通，所以质量不是很好，也卖不了几个钱，还有可能连累自己，被幕后黑手发现。
李维想了想，将这些东西全部销毁了。
最后，他手握一枚黑色的箭头，眼神凝重。
“这不是巫器，没有常规的法术符文和法阵，更像是一种特殊的宝物，很明显，也是出自那位制器大师之手，制作箭头的骨刺，带有强烈的污染之力，若是用精神力催动，怕是意志不坚定的，可能被直接侵蚀。
而且，箭头的主人，极有可能是元魂巫师，手段超出我想象，为了安全起见，还是将其留在无尽海，避免惹火上身。”
背后的一切，扑朔迷离。
李维仔细的检查着自己，以及毒火尸妖等手下，并没有追踪印记。
“参与官方拍卖会，都需要实名登记，看样子我的信息被那个该死的工作人员泄露给了幕后黑手，所以他们最终找上门来，一直在冥王城蹲守我。并且有强者施展干扰法术，让我，以及其他的竞拍者，都没办法通过特殊方式觉察到自己被盯上了，一等我们出城，他们就开始动手。”
至于他们的动机，李维觉得很简单，那就是钱。
要知道，那天上百件拍品的价值总额，李维粗略的估计了一番，怕是有数亿太石，最后面那些拍品的价值，李维这种身家的，都只能望洋兴叹。
而能够参与竞拍的，也都是非富即贵，这些人身上，肯定也有不少有价值之物。
若是将这些网罗起来，那对于元魂巫师来说，都是一笔巨额财富。
如今时局动乱，法治不存，群星之塔权威也不复从前。
一些投机分子，趁机做局，假借黑巫师的名头，做坏事，实属正常。
“看样子，我这个身份，待在群星海域已经不安全了，幕后黑手认定我属于小肥羊，如果有机会，肯定还是要宰我，况且，我如今杀了他的人，他会对我更加注意，下一次，说不定就是派五环巫师来了。”
一念及此。
李维找了个地方，将那枚箭头扔入无底海渊中。
匆匆离开这里。
这些家伙，完全和黑巫师不能比。
黑巫师杀了，会爆太石。
而他们，抠抠搜搜的，啥都没有，以后遇见了，就直接远离，都不需要浪费体力。
……
一个月后。
圣辉历1140年，生机之月。
李维通过野生的亚空间节点，回到了人间。
黄昏岛。
知识圣殿。
李维悄然无声的出现在这里，查阅着一些书籍。
这些，都是成员们这些年翻译血脉符文的成果。
他衣着普通，看起来和普通骑士一样。
他注意到，在圣殿的角落。
一位年轻的骑士把头盔和盾牌放在一边，一边啃着肉干和水，一边专心致志的翻阅李维的《血脉符文汇总》，同时埋头记着自己的笔记：《盾御系血脉符文翻译和注释》。
伏案之余，他抬起头，瞥了一眼，发现那边的伟岸男子好像有点眼熟。
等等，怎么像是传说中神龙见首不见尾的团长？
而那位男子，显然也注意到了他，露出阳光和善的笑容。
“团长好！”他立马站起身来，以骑士大礼向李维问好，整个人都立刻紧张起来。
“没事，你继续研究你的，有什么进展吗？”李维随意的问道。
“有一些，我最近在研读您的著作，我发现，不同呼吸法的血脉符文，看似不一样，但是实际上，若是加以仔细对比和归类，这些血脉符文，其实可以分为六大类。
而这六大类，正好对应骑士呼吸法的六大维度。
如果想要将每一种呼吸法的血脉符文都破译出来，那没有无数骑士，成千上万年的漫长岁月，显然是不可能的。
但是，只需要从六大维度呼吸法中，各选出一些具有代表性的血脉符文加以破译，再进行排列组合和构建，或许就可以诞生相应的【天赋烙印模板】。
而其他的同维度的呼吸法修行者，只需要根据模板，再结合自己的实际情况，进行调整，便可以创造出符合自己血脉实际情况的【天赋烙印】，成为掌握超凡力量的【烙印骑士】。
因为我本身修行的呼吸法是《铁龙呼吸法》，属于典型的防御类呼吸法，而且是优秀品质的，应该具有代表性。
所以我想试试，能不能把防御类的血脉符文整理归纳出来，找出其共同和联系点，从而创造天赋烙印。
如果可以成功的话，那这一类天赋烙印，或许可以称之为【盾御烙印】，而修行此种烙印的骑士，便是【盾御骑士】。
以此类推，烙印骑士可以分为六大体系，其中有的擅长攻坚，有的擅长暗杀，有的擅长感知，有的则是擅长守护……
我认为，骑士比起那些巫师大人，受限于血脉因素，肯定没办法所有人全面发展，既然如此，那就找到自己的闪光点，将其放大，走到极致！
当然，其他的方面，肯定也要修行，只不过要有相应的侧重，这样才能最大效率的利用血脉优势。”
李维耐心的听年轻的骑士长篇大论说完，露出欣慰的笑容，内心思索：“这堆头脑简单，四肢发大的家伙，总算是来了个像样的学者型骑士了。”
“不错，你不要动。”
“好的。”青年骑士紧张无比。
李维拿出一块以太之心。
这个可以测试巫师的天赋。
下一刻。
以太之心中，有土黄色的光芒冒出来，在大殿内大作。
李维表面古井无波，一副淡定模样。
内心则是有些激动。
“野生的……土元素之子？这不去当巫师简直屈才了！”
李维本以为人间的巫师苗子，都被那些巫师组织暗中给收走了，没想到，还有沧海遗珠留在这里。
“你叫什么名字？”李维问道。
“我……安德鲁·格兰多。”年轻的骑士说道。
“安德鲁……”李维喃喃，记忆浮上心头。
“你多大了。”
“团长，我……我今年二十七岁，等到熔炉之月的生日过后，就是二十八岁。”年轻骑士有些好奇，不知道团长问自己这个干嘛。
“好，挺好的，今天晚上去极道殿找我，我会传授你巫师的修行之法。”李维拍了拍安德鲁的肩膀，话语中，透露着沧桑的气息。
安德鲁有些搞不明白现状。
他不过是一名普普通通的大骑士，在如今的黄昏圣殿中，毫不起眼。
他修行的呼吸法，也不是那些诞生过传奇骑士的呼吸法，只是祖传的优秀呼吸法。
自己何德何能？可以被团长看上！
难不成是因为刚刚那土黄色的光芒，导致自己的巫师天赋不错吗？
他压下激动的情绪，开心说道：“好的，团长！”
“继续研究吧，若是需要帮助，可以去找各大殿主。”李维转身离开，留下呆若木鸡的安德鲁。
“我不仅和团长说话了，他还拍了我肩膀鼓励我，还让我晚上去找他……”
……
极道殿内。
李维闭目沉思。
“安德鲁是圣辉历1112年的熔炉之月走的，到现在，正好28年了……这大概率只是巧合，毕竟七国叫安德鲁的人，就和前世叫王刚的人一样多，光是圣殿里面，叫安德鲁的都有好几个，不过……我就当是安德鲁你从冥界转世归来了吧……虽然你已经不是之前的安德鲁了。”
“土元素之子，肯定要修行巫师之道，不然白瞎了这么好的天赋，以我如今的实力，暗中扶持一下，他便可以快速成长起来，纵然比不上那些大组织的元素之子，也差不了太多。
但是，安德鲁的骑士之道，也不能放弃，他是研究型的人才，圣殿需要他这样的人。
骑士和巫师一样，都是很古老的职业，但是时至今日，巫师越来越茁壮，骑士却止步不前，除了骑士的血脉桎梏外，还有一个原因。
那就是骑士群体自古以来，缺乏研究能力，并不是说必须和巫师那样研究知识，追逐真理，但是起码，也应该从血脉层面入手，知其然，知其所以然。
他们被困在人间，被教会的愚昧蒙蔽，和王朝轮回，家族兴衰的周期律一起，陷入死循环中，无法自拔。
或许圣辉教会那用来欺骗世人的天之七骑士传说有点道理，圣者将最重要的智慧，传给了巫师，然后其他六个骑士……圣者是一点智力都不给他们加啊，好歹加几点，意思一下也行啊！”
思索之时，门外传来了敲门声。
李维一挥手，门自动打开。
“团长。”
安德鲁站在那里，面色紧张，眼神中带着希冀。
“你拥有超出常人的巫师天赋，我今日传你三种法门。
第一，叫《大地冥想法》，这是适合你地元素之子天赋最基础的冥想法，里面的内容，足够你修行到三环巫师了，你以后也可以在知识圣殿兑换后面的内容。
第二，叫《大地学派基础法术全篇》，里面是一些和冥想法相对应的法术，你也好好修行。
第三，是《血脉法身入门》，一种将骑士血气和巫师精神力融合的法门，可以极大增强你的实力，以你的资质，参悟应该也不是很难。
除此之外，还有一种魔药配方，你的呼吸法只是优秀品质，想要突破传奇，很难。
等你实力到达大骑士巅峰了，寻找上面的魔药材料，就可以进阶传奇了。
这世上没有免费的午餐，我传你法门，你以后则和血骑士他们一起，负责建立你所设想的烙印骑士的六大体系，你若是成功进阶传奇，还可以成为黄昏骑士团正式团员。
最后，我传你法门这些事，就不要和其他人提起了，我也不是你师父！”
安德鲁听闻，正色道。
“团长，我明白，我一定遵守，我可是在誓约之剑下发过誓的！”
“嗯，你下去吧。”
安德鲁退去，只留李维一人在大殿内，孤寂的坐着。
“以他的天赋，说不定他都一环了，黑骑士还没有一环呢……这些年，我忽略了一点，我虽然要建立骑士组织，但是若是有巫师天赋者，或者好的巫师苗子，也要收集起来，不然也是浪费了。
那些兼修骑士和巫师之道的成员，未来都将是圣殿的研究型人才，充分利用巫师的研究能力，去弥补骑士的不足，让骑士发展走上快车道，才是正途！”
翌日。
李维将呆在黄昏圣殿的正式团员叫过来，以丹妮丝为核心，让他们依靠王国的背景关系，暗中去寻找两类人才。
一类，是巫师天赋极度优异者，比方说双系元素亲和，以及元素之子。
另一类，则是同时具备骑士和巫师天赋者。
这两类人，目前对李维而言，比较有用，也有培养价值。
忙完了圣殿的事情。
李维便来到古圣位面入口。
“法阵技能快肝到四环了，接下来全力突击法阵，早日进阶，然后把保护入口的法阵升级一波。”他心中思索。
想了想，李维将毒火尸妖放了出来。
“吉尔莫，接下来你来镇守火之王法阵一段时间。”
“好的，主人。”
波刚如今实力虽然有进步，但只是三环巅峰，有点跟不上李维的进步了。
不过它乃是山巨人，本身的元素亲和天赋不弱于那种带有土系的双元素巫师，现在有李维的帮助，四环问题不大。
留毒火尸妖在这里，也是为了减轻波刚的压力。
其实菲尼克斯最适合坐镇火之王法阵了。
但是这小子有小心思，不是绝对可靠。
李维可不能让到手的火元素飞了。
“可惜这一趟没有买到四环的缚灵之环，只能等猩红龙进阶了。”
他暗自叹息，回到了帝皇宫，开始冲刺法阵技能。
……
时间就这样过去一年。
在李维闭关的时候。
古龙帝国，依旧井然有序的运转。
李维拥有誓约之剑，将这个帝国的那些主要大人物牢牢把控在手掌心。
剩下那些底层民众，自然是不值一提，李维不得不佩服索伦的手段。
这些年的高速发展。
帝国欣欣向荣。
灵能学院和古圣道场这两种超凡体系培养的摇篮，不断的向帝国高层输送人才。
这些年，得益于帝国的安定，战乱停息。
新的古圣强者也开始诞生。
曾经的二十人元老会。
如今已经是二十三人。
当然，也有一位古圣大限将至，悄然逝去，举国同悲！
哀悼会举行完毕后，古圣的遗骸被送往最为神圣的帝皇宫。
身为帝皇最忠诚的子民，它将会被帝皇赐予“不朽”之能力，从此成为帝皇身边永恒的“死亡天使”！
However, the three kings, whose strength has already reached the ceiling of the ancient saints, have still not broken through that critical bottleneck. It is extremely difficult for them to become level five beings.
The end of the year 1141 of the Holy Hui calendar.
The 110th year of the Great Crusade.
A sad rumor began to spread rapidly in the wizarding world.
"Deep Blue Sage Luther has fallen!"
The legend has fallen!
It is not a natural death. In wizard civilization, this has rarely happened since the end of the Ancient Era.
With the legendary wizard's power comparable to that of a god, there are too few people in this multiverse who can pose a threat to him.
Finally, Grand Council Speaker Amon officially announced:
"Due to unknown force majeure, decades after Deep Blue Sky City disappeared, the Sky City has been completely destroyed and disappeared, and the Deep Blue Sage also died unexpectedly. The cause of the accident is under further investigation!"
For a moment, the entire wizarding world was in an uproar.
Even the beginning of the Great Crusade or the outbreak of the Black and White Wizarding War were not as shocking to the wizards as the fall of a legend.
"This is a legend! He killed the evil god on the battlefield of the Great Crusade!"
"I can't believe that the Deep Blue Sage would suddenly die. This must be a conspiracy by some people, trying to shake the confidence of our Ocean School! Just wait, the Deep Blue Sage will come back one day!"
"The four traditional factions of Earth, Fire, Feng and Water all have two legendary wizards... If the Deep Blue Sage dies, this pattern will change. The subsequent series of impacts will not be good for us in the Endless Sea."
"If you ask me, it must be that Luther took refuge in the abyss, but ended up falling into the tiger's mouth and being killed by the lords of the abyss. He asked for it..."
Some are happy and some are sad, but generally speaking, more wizards are sad about this.
Although legendary wizards are rare in number, they are the nuclear weapons of wizard civilization. It is because of them that other civilizations are so wary of wizards.
Every loss of a legend is a great loss.
On the distant battlefield of the Five Realms Crusade.
In a devastated plane, a cold witch in a white robe stood on the top of a scarred sky city.
Her figure was faint, but standing there, she seemed like the center of the world.
A picture flashed at her fingertips, which was the scene where the parliament announced the death of Luther.
"Civilization needs to be accelerated, otherwise Luther's sacrifice will be meaningless..."
…
Imperial Palace.
Inside the secret room.
In front of Levi, there was a large crucible.
In the crucible, there are various herbs, poisons, some metal substances, and many rare materials, which are combined to form a pot of potion.
In it, the corpse of a lizardman, which was dead but still exuded a powerful aura, was floating.
This is the fallen ancient saint, and Levi is granting him "immortality"...which means making him into a corpse demon.
However, this time he was not making a poisonous fire corpse demon, but a new species that he developed based on the knowledge in the "Book of Corpse Demons" and combined with the characteristics of the ancient saints.
He chanted a spell and threw in the Blood Forbidden Cone, the third-level blood weapon he had eliminated earlier, followed by the Blood Feather Bow and the Moonlight Greatsword.
Finally, he poured the blood of the vampires into it, and the potion turned scarlet!
"With my current knowledge of refining weapons, it is not a problem to melt these three blood weapons into a part of this corpse demon and strengthen its power... The next step is to wait. This corpse demon is refined from the body of a powerful ancient saint, and I have improved it. It must be more powerful than the previous poisonous fire corpse demon. When the time comes, I will have one more trump card for the trip to the Dark Ancient Tower."
While waiting for the corpse demon to be trained, Levi continued to gain experience in magic circles.
A few days later, during a break, the messenger brought back a newspaper with news from the Endless Sea.
While in the ancient sage plane, Levi did not forget to read the newspaper to learn about world affairs.
"What? The Deep Blue Sage has fallen?"
Levi was shocked.
The fall of a legend is a big deal.
"The structure of the parliament has changed. The twelve giants have become eleven. One move will affect the entire body. Next, the wizarding world, the black-white war, the Endless Sea... everything may change. I don't know whether it is good or bad."
[Important news! The Dark Wizard Emperor and other evil gods were forced to retreat and evacuate the Plane Federation. The Five Realms Expedition has temporarily ended. The four legendary wizards will return one after another in the next ten years! ]
"It's finally over, but unfortunately, the Deep Blue Sage can't come back..."
After all, Levi grew up in the Endless Sea. Among these legendary wizards, naturally, the one he cared about the most was the Deep Blue Sage.
"But the end of this great expedition is too bizarre. How come the evil gods suddenly evacuated as if they had agreed? Could it be that their home was robbed?"
Puzzled, Levi continued reading the newspaper.
A piece of news, not too big or too small, came into view.
[Ms. Blue Dragon resigned from her position as Lord of Strom City and left the Endless Sea. Her whereabouts are unknown.]
"Ms. Blue Dragon has quit... I heard from Enya before that she and another mysterious red-haired witch appeared in the Sea King City and participated in the auction. They should have bought something. Could it be that even a strong person like her has been targeted by the mastermind behind the scenes?"
[The director of the Shadow Ring branch, Shadow Wolf Mathias, was ambushed by a mysterious strongman in King Gold City recently and escaped with serious injuries. Mathias expressed strong doubts about the security capabilities of the Star Tower and demanded that the mastermind behind the scenes be arrested as soon as possible! ]
"Even a strong man like Shadow Wolf was attacked, and he was inside the city! Who is directing and planning all this..."
Levi was very glad that he had returned to the human world and that he had a place to stand in the world.
With the fall of the legend, the Great Crusade ended mysteriously, and a series of major events occurred, including the opening of the Dark Ancient Tower.
The old era is about to pass away, but the new era has not yet arrived...
In the midst of a constantly changing era, all Levi can do is to gain as much experience as possible.
This hard work lasted for two years!
The year 1143 of the Holy Hui calendar, the month of harvest.
At the entrance to the ancient saint plane, Levi stood here and snapped his fingers lightly.
In an instant, seven rays of light shot up into the sky and then disappeared.
At the same time, the entire island disappeared.
At this moment, Levi had a look of relief on his face, as he was in a world of seven colors.
"Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Ice, Thunder, and Gold! After the upgrade, it is called the Glory of the Four Kings, which is no longer appropriate. This magic circle that I created originally will be called... The Hell of the Seven Kings."
