Chapter 55: Levi, the Crazy Outlaw
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
On the way home, Levi kept thinking.
Why did an assassin target him the moment he left Black Water Valley? Why was he recognized even though he wore a mask after entering the city?
He was also targeted when Sir Fred left the territory.
These two things could not be coincidences.
There was only one possibility. There was a mole in the Black Water Valley!
A mole had been telling the Bird of Death’s Voice or others who wanted to kill him.
Levi was gloomy. The Black Water Valley was small, so finding the mole was not complex. He already had a plan in mind.
After returning to the Black Water Valley, Levi first hid all the gold coins in the small vault of his shelter. Other than keeping some daily expenses to maintain the castle, he had already thought about how to spend the rest.
Seeing Levi’s safe arrival, Sir Fred was relieved.
“Young Master, you’ve been gone for a month, and I’ve been worried sick,” Sir Fred said.
“Fred, I’ve gained quite a lot from this trip. I’m going to practice my breathing technique now. I have a problem, so I’ll have to trouble you to help me deal with it in the next few days,” responded Levi.
“No problem.”
In the year 1007 of the Holy Brilliance Calendar, the Month of Green Grass, there was a rumor that the star of the Jade Royal Family, the legendary knight of the Emerald Kingdom, and the so-called first person under the legendary knight, the White Horse Knight, had failed to break through to the legendary knight realm. It was unknown whether this news was accurate or not.
Afterward. the Roval Familv claimed this was a rumor, and the White Horse
Knight was still on the road to the legendary realm. The final result was not released.
If the White Horse Knight could become a legendary knight, he might be the first legend born after the millennium.
Jade Royal Family’s status would also rise. A legendary knight was enough to intimidate many ambitious nobles and underground forces.
In Icewind City, the church’s investigation of the fire that had occurred more than a month ago concluded. Someone likely had murdered Knight Bernard and set his mansion on fire. The church had found his remains in the ashes of the fireplace in his estate. The church expressed its severe condemnation of such murder and arson.
For a while, everyone in the city panicked. Knight Bernard was humorous and thrifty, but he died at the hands of a nameless madman. Where was the perpetrator’s conscience?
Moreover, Knight Bernard was a real knight, a mid-level knight at that. Even he was not a match for this madman. In the entire Icewind City, besides the Earl of Silver Mountain and a few high -level and peak knights, who could guarantee they could survive in front of this madman?
The Earl of Silver Mountain was furious. He thought that this was a provocation from the thugs. He mobilized his Silver Hunter Guards and began to patrol the Ice Wind City daily, swearing to fight against the dark forces to the end!
Meanwhile, in Black Water Valley, the culprit behind the murder of Knight Bernard, Baron Levi, was concocting a secret potion in the shelter. After some time, he had finally converted the 13 bottles of ambergris into a secret medicine. He would consume it while gaining experience.
In the shelter, Levi muttered, “The soldiers disguised as me have already left the Black Water Valley. We’ll see who will take the bait.”
After returning to Black Snake Castle, Levi rarely showed his face in public. He had a feeling that there was a mole in the castle.
Therefore, he wanted to experiment tonight. During the day, he asked a soldier the closest to him in size and appearance to pretend to be him, wear his clothes, and ride his horse out of the Black Water Valley. He had released news that he would visit a friend in the Icewind City.
The Black Water Valley was only this big. If there were a mole, he would sneak out of the Black Water Valley to tip off the news when no one was paying attention. After all, mobile phones did not exist in this world, so one must tip off verbally. Levi wanted to see who would leave the valley tonight.
Levi did not know if this method would work, so he could only try it. If it did not work, he would think of other ways.
In the shelter, Levi cultivated while waiting for news.
His breathing technique cultivation had been delayed because he had been out for a month. However, now that he had the secret medicine, he could catch up very quickly.
After he took the secret medicine and cultivated the Black Snake Breathing Technique once, he was shocked.
The proficiency of the Black Snake Breathing Technique increased by 20 points.
As his realm increased, his breathing technique cultivation efficiency also increased dramatically, along with Levi’s appetite.
Unlike Sir Fred, Levi’s breathing technique was in a period of rapid improvement. After all, Sir Fred was old and had already begun to age. His vitality started falling, and his need for food was much smaller.
Levi was different. He was in the growing phase, and his vitality inflated. After Levi advanced to an official knight, his digestion and food consumption were several times higher than a Quasi-Knight.
Even though he ate more than a Quasi-Knight, he only went to the toilet once or twice daily. His Life Seeds efficiently absorbed most of the substances and nutrients in the food, which catalyzed the black gas and strengthened his physical fitness.
Although Levi had yet to advance into a mid -level knight, he could feel his proficiency and the volume of black gas in his body increasing. This was a process of constant quantitative change, and the key to qualitative change was the node of each realm.
After cultivating the Black Snake Breathing Technique, Levi began developing the Siren Breathing Technique. There were no secret medicines required for this breathing technique.
It had only been a few months since Levi started practicing the Siren Breathing Technique, and it was already at the second level, the proficiency bar more than half complete. Levi estimated that he would be able to reach the next level next month.
The more he cultivated the breathing techniques, the more Levi felt that despite their merits, whether speed or strength, they were about the same. Sometimes, Levi thought all breathing techniques might have originated from the same root.
All in all, Levi estimated that based on this trend, the higher his realm in the future, the more powerful breathing techniques he would master, and the faster he would be able to cultivate a breathing technique to its limit. He might even fully develop a breathing technique within a month.
Not long after he finished cultivating the Siren Breathing Technique, he vaguely heard the roars of the three brothers in the castle. Levi’s heart skipped a beat. It seemed that Sir Fred and the others had made a move. He stood up and left.
On a small path outside the castle, the three brothers surrounded a person, baring their teeth and glaring at the person.
Not long after, Levi and Sir Fred rushed over. The soldier was surrounded and looked flustered.
“My lord? You’re back?”
