Taking advantage of the forging limit, Levi seized the time to use the scales of the earth dragon beast and iron rings mixed with mithril to make himself a set of armor.

This set of armor exudes a sense of savagery and has a very wild shape.

Levi dyed the armor black, and the texture of the scales could be vaguely seen.

When he wore it, it was much lighter than ordinary plate armor, and it did not lose as much flexibility as plate armor.

The defensive power of this armor is not much worse than that of plate armor. In addition, unlike plate armor, this set of armor made of earth dragon beast scales has a certain toughness and a great shock-absorbing effect against the impact of blunt objects.

"Let's call him Dragon Armor."

Levi gave his armor a domineering name.

"I put on a layer of fine iron chain mail on the innermost layer, then put on the dragon armor, and put on a layer of thick leather armor made from the skin of earth dragon beasts on the outside, plus my black energy defense. With four layers of armor, I feel very safe!"

"Among all martial arts, stacked armor is the best!"

Levi was wearing armor, wielding Frostmourne, and felt like the world was at his feet!

Levi struck while the iron was hot and made a set for Fred.

This made Fred flattered and burst into tears.

Now Fred has barely recovered some of his strength.

Although it is difficult to return to the strength of a mid-level knight, he still has the strength of an ordinary knight. After all, the seed of life is still there and the foundation is still there.

If Fred had worn such a set of armor at the beginning, he would not have been seriously injured by Tieshan so easily. This is the price of not having good equipment.

"Keep all the remaining scales and make armor for the three brothers when they grow up." Levi was in a good mood.

In addition to forging armor, Levi also successfully copied a new armor-piercing crossbow based on the one he brought back.

However, the most difficult part of the armor-piercing crossbow is not the crossbow mechanism, but the arrowhead.

The arrows he made with ordinary iron could hardly achieve the armor-piercing effect he wanted.

After research by this craftsman, he found that in order to achieve a strong armor-piercing effect, he had to use a rarer material when forging arrows.

"Yaojin."

Yojin, this is a rare metal that is more precious than mithril.

On the market, a pound of mithril costs about one hundred gold coins, while a pound of yttrium costs two hundred gold coins.

The most important thing is that both Mithril and Onyx are rare metals that are rarely circulated in the market.

Levi had previously spent a lot of money to buy the mithril needed to forge the second generation of Frostmourne.

Although the plan to mass-produce armor-piercing crossbows failed, Levi did not lose heart.

Anyway, even if it is an ordinary iron arrow, it can be very powerful when paired with an armor-piercing crossbow.

Moreover, he now has three golden arrowheads in his hand, which were all picked up from the body of the earth dragon beast. They are enough to use as his trump cards.

By the time Levi had finished all the forging work, it was already the month of budding.

Three months had passed since he destroyed the Deathbird's base in Icewind City.

It is highly likely that the Voice of the Dead Bird has now learned about the destruction of that stronghold, and it is unknown what it will do next.

Inside the shelter, Levi, who was practicing the Vortex Beast Breathing Technique, stood up.

Some time ago, his Vortex Beast Breathing Technique reached the second level. He felt that his physical fitness had been slightly enhanced, but to a limited extent.

Given his current physical condition, the benefits of the second-level Vortex Beast Breathing Technique are minimal. If he wants to see any results, he must reach the fourth level at least.

He opened the proficiency panel.

Levi——

Vortex Beast Breathing: Level 2 (1000/5000)

"Without the secret medicine, this breathing method is a bit slow to practice."

Levi couldn't help but sigh.

This vortex beast breathing method is much more difficult to practice than the frost wolf, human-faced spider, and giant bear.

The most important reason is that Levi does not have the secret medicine for this breathing method.

The secret medicine needed for the Turbulence Breathing Technique is called the "Turbulence Secret Medicine".

It requires a material that Levi has never heard of: "planarian eggs".

He sent people to the Emerald Chamber of Commerce in Icewind City and consulted some knowledgeable zoologists, but no one had ever heard of planarians.

Therefore, until now, Levi has been practicing this breathing method with great difficulty.

The effect is not very good. It has only reached the second level after two months.

This speed is extremely fast for others, but it is a bit slow for Levi.

Practicing this breathing method also squeezed out a lot of Levi's time to develop other skills.

If this continues, it will take an unknown amount of time to reach the limit.

"I have to go to Icewind City. First, to see what's going on with the Deathbird's Voice. Second, to see how my Breathing Technique bounty is going. Finally, there's this worm egg... It would be a waste of time to try to master an excellent Breathing Technique to its limit without the help of secret medicine. Time is money. It's not worth it to keep going this way."

During these three months of practice, Levi has made progress in all breathing methods except the Vortex Beast Breathing Method. However, his focus is mainly on the Black Snake and Vortex Beast Breathing Methods. Progress on methods such as the Human-Faced Spider and Siren Breathing Methods is relatively slow.

But Levi estimated that in two or three months at most, his Siren Breathing Technique should be able to reach the fifth level, and the human-faced spider should not be much behind.

In short, after a period of time, my strength will see another significant improvement.

After talking to Fred, Levi came to Icewind City again wearing the White Wolf Mask.

He first went to the Shining Tavern to see if anyone wanted to sell him the breathing technique during this period.

When he asked the staff, he found out there was indeed one. He was delighted and asked the staff to help him contact the seller.

Levi found a private room, drank some wine, and waited for the seller to arrive.

While waiting, he listened to various conversations in the tavern.

With the help of primary vibration perception, Levi's hearing is different from that of ordinary people. He can hear the whispers in many boxes.

Judging from the conversations of these drinkers, the Kingdom of Eternal Night in the Far North had a hard time this winter. Nearly ten thousand people were displaced and became refugees due to the cold and the so-called "snow demon". They headed south, and the vast majority of them died on the way due to hunger, disease, robbery, wild beasts, etc. There were too many difficulties.

A small number of people entered the northern border of the Emerald Kingdom and the Tuva Empire. The best outcome was that they were captured by slave-hunting teams that specialized in targeting refugees and vagrants and became slaves.

Among the serfs Levi bought, several were from the Kingdom of Eternal Night.

They are shorter and more sturdy, making them a good labor force and suitable for forging.

For these people, life is always difficult, and being alive is already their biggest dream.

As for the so-called "snow monster", some wandering knights who were hired by the great nobles of the Kingdom of Evernight to participate in the battle to eliminate the snow monster and survived said: "God is the kind father above, they are a group of tireless, fearless, death-defying, frost-covered, blue ghost fires in their empty eye sockets!"

"Undead..." Levi's eyes flashed, and he was a little curious about the origins of these snow monsters.
