Chapter 70: Stacked Armors! Dragon Armor!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Taking advantage of his Forging skills, Levi quickly used the scales of the Earthly Dragon Beast and his iron rings mixed with mithril to make a set of armor for himself.
The armor exuded a wild and untamed aura, which appeared extremely tough.
Levi dyed the armor black, and the patterns of scales could be vaguely seen.
When he wore it, the armor was much lighter and did not lack flexibility, unlike plate armor.
The armor’s defensive power was weaker than plate armor. In addition, unlike plate armor, this armor made of Earthly Dragon Beast scales had a toughness that could significantly reduce the impact of blunt weapons.
“Let’s call it Dragon Armor.”
Levi gave his armor a domineering name.
“I’ll put on a fine iron chain mail layer on the innermost layer, then put on the Dragon Armor. On the outside, I’ll put on a layer of thick leather armor sewn from the skin of the Earthly Dragon Beast. In addition to my black gas defense, there will be four layers of layered armor.”
“In the martial arts world, staked armor is the best!”
Levi wore his armor and waved Frostmourne, feeling like the world was beneath his feet!
Levi also made a set for Fred.
Fred was overwhelmed by the unexpected gift, and tears streamed down his face.
He had barely recovered some of his strength.
Although it would be difficult for him to regain the strength of a mid-level knight, he still had the power of an ordinary knight. After all, he still had the Life Seed and a solid foundation.
If Fred had worn such a suit of armor, Iron Mountain could not have seriously injured him. This was the price of not having good equipment.
“The remaining scales will be kept for the three brothers. I’ll wait for them to grow and forge armor for them.”
Levi was in a good mood.
Besides forging armor, Levi had also successfully developed a duplicate Armor-Breaking Crossbow based on the one he had brought back.
However, the most challenging part of the task was not the crossbow but the arrowhead.
The arrowheads he forged with ordinary iron would not have the armor-piercing effect he wanted.
After his research as a craftsman, he found that if he wanted to achieve a solid armor-piercing effect, he had to use an even rarer material when forging the arrowhead.
“Luminant Gold.”
Luminant Gold was a rare metal that was even more precious than mithril.
On the market, 0.5 kilograms of mithril was sold for about 100 gold coins, while 0.5 kilograms of Luminant Gold was sold for 200.
Most importantly, mithril and Luminant Gold were rare metals and rarely circulated in the market.
Previously, Levi had spent a lot of money to buy the mithril he needed to forge Frostmourne Version 2.0.
As a result, Levi abandoned the plan to mass produce Armor-Breaking Crossbow but did not give up.
In any case, even an ordinary iron arrowhead with an armor-breaking crossbow would have considerable power.
Moreover, he still had three Luminant Gold arrowheads on hand. They were all picked up from the Earthly Dragon Beast’s body and were enough to be his trump card.
By the time Levi was done forging, it was already the Month of Germinal.
It had been three months since he destroyed the Bird of Death’s Voice’s stronghold in Icewind City.
The organization probably already knew about the destruction but did not

In the shelter, Levi, who was practicing the Vortex Breathing Technique, stood up.
Some time ago, his Vortex Beast Breathing Technique had reached level 2. He felt that his physique had slightly strengthened, but there was a limit to its strength.
For his current physique, the Vortex Beast Breathing Technique level 2 benefits were negligible. He must be at least at the fourth level if he wanted more apparent effects.
He opened the proficiency panel.

“Without the secret medicine, it is slow to cultivate the breathing technique.” Levi could not help but sigh.
This Vortex Beast Breathing Technique was much more challenging to cultivate than the ones he developed in the past.
The main reason for this was the lack of secret medicine for this breathing technique called the Turbellarian secret medicine.
It required materials Levi had never heard of, such as the “Turbellarian Egg.”
He had sent people to the Jade Chamber of Commerce in Icewind City and consulted knowledgeable zoologists. However, no one had heard of it.
Therefore, Levi had been cultivating this breathing technique himself.
The effect was poor. He had only reached level 2 in two months.
Such speed was considered godly for others but not Levi.
Practicing this breathing technique also took up much time for Levi’s other skills.
Who knew how long it would take him to achieve the maximum level if this continued?
“I have to make a trip to Icewind City. Firstly, I have to check out news from the Bird of Death’s Voice. Next, I must see how my breathing technique bounty commission is going. Lastly, I have to make progress on the search for Turbellarian Egg… Without this secret medicine, it would be a waste of time and impossible for me to push this excellent breathing technique to its limits. Continuing to waste precious time like this wasn’t worth it.”
In the past three months of cultivation, besides the Vortex Beast Breathing Technique, Levi had also progressed in the other breathing techniques.
However, he had mainly focused on the Black Snake and Vortex Beast Breathing Technique. The Man-Faced Spider and Siren Breathing Technique had seen little progress.
However, Levi estimated that in at most two to three months, his Siren Breathing Technique should be able to reach level 5, and the Man-Faced Spider should not be too far off.
In short, in no time, his strength would usher in another wave of more significant improvement.
After explaining to Fred, Levi wore the White Wolf Mask and went to the Icewind City.
He first went to the Shining Tavern to see if anyone had wanted to sell him breathing techniques during this period.
There was someone when he asked the staff. He was overjoyed and asked the team to help him contact the seller.
Levi found a private room and drank while waiting for the seller to arrive.
While waiting, he listened to all kinds of conversations in the tavern.
With the help of his Beginner Vibrosensing, Levi’s hearing was extraordinary. He could hear many whispers in the private room.
From the conversations of these customers, it seemed that the Evernight Kingdom in the far north was not doing well this winter. Nearly ten thousand people had lost their homes due to the cold and the so-called “Snow Demon” disaster. They became refugees and traveled south. Among them, most died on the way. There were too many problems like hunger, disease, robbery, wild beasts, and so on.
A tew people successtully the northern border ot the Emerald Kingdom and Tuva Empire. The best outcome for them was to be captured by some slave-catching teams and become slaves.
Some of the enslaved people that Levi bought were from the Evernight Kingdom.
Their bodies were shorter and more muscular. They were terrific labor very suitable for forging.
To these people, living was tricky. To be alive was already their best dream.
According to some wandering knights hired by Evernight Kingdom’s great nobles to participate in a battle to eliminate the Snow Demons and survive, the so-called “Snow Demons” was a group of indestructible undead unafraid of death. They were covered in frost and had blue ghost fire in their empty eyes!
“Undead…” Levi’s eyes flashed. He was curious about the origins of these Snow Demons..
