Chapter 84: Level 5 Man-Faced spider!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The year 1008 of the Holy Brilliance Calendar, Month of Northern Wind.
The Holy City was bustling with activity.
There were still five days to the 300th-anniversary ceremony.
Levi got up from his cultivation state.
He opened his eyes and looked at his arm. The vellus hair on his arm was moving up and down with Levi’s breathing.
Outside the street, the movements of pedestrians or carriages passing by were also transmitted to Levi’s vellus hair and skin through the vibrations of the ground and air.
In an instant.
Levi was like an Amazonian tarantula, able to see every detail and waiting for his prey to come knocking on his door.
“Now that the Man-Faced Spider Breathing Technique is at level 5, its range of perception is even greater. It’s no longer ten meters in diameter, it feels like it’s twenty meters now.” Levi muttered to himself.
He opened the proficiency panel.
Levi—
[Man-Faced Spider Breathing Technique: Level 5 (1/30000). Special Effect: Intermediate Vibrosensing, Spider Sensing.
“So far, my Spider Sensing hasn’t given any warning. It seems that I’m relatively safe for the time being. That’s right. I’m so powerful yet so low-key. It’s hard for me not to feel safe.”
“I wonder what’s going on in the territory. Forget it, there’s no point worrying so much.”
Levi smiled bitterly. Unknowingly, he had already left the territory for so long. “Other than the Man-Faced Spider Breathing Technique being at level 5, the
Azure Falcon Breathing Technique has also reached the beginner level.”
“The secret medicine for the Azure Falcon Breathing Technique isn’t difficult to find. It’s just some common items. I’ll try to push it to its limit within half a year. If my predictions are correct, this breathing technique can reach level 5. According to the proficiency panel, a breathing technique at the limit of level 5 should be equivalent to two breathing techniques at the limit of level 4. Therefore, the remaining two points of the Siren Breathing Technique should be settled.”
Realizing that he was improving and becoming stronger, Levi felt that his life was very fulfilling.
After rising and having a meal, Levi went to the Shining Tavern.
The auction was over, and Levi had to go get the money.
He was also looking forward to seeing how much the mithril armor he had forged would fetch.
Levi had not seen the Wild Dog Knight for a while, perhaps the knight had gone to do his own business.
He had arranged to meet the Wild Dog Knight during the Holy City Ceremony, and then he would go and watch the Grand Knight tear apart the Earthly Dragon Beast.
When Levi arrived at the Shining Tavern, the staff saw the iconic domineering golden mask and knew that Master Tyra had arrived.
“Master, the auction has been successfully completed. Your Silver Scale Armor has been bought by a big customer in the inner urban area for 300 gold coins.”
“Right now, the forging industry in the Holy City is already in an uproar. They probably didn’t expect there to be a living Legendary Blacksmith in this world.”
“Many important figures want to hear about you from us. Compared to ordinary armor, rich people prefer custom-made armor.”
The staff member said excitedly backstage.
Levi was very satisfied. The 300 gold coins mentioned by the staff were Tuva dollars. If converted to the standard gold coins of the Emerald Kingdom, it would be a total of 600 gold coins!
This price could be said to be sky-high.
On the one hand, the cost of adding mithril was very high.
On the other hand, it was the Blacksmith’s brand effect.
This was because the people of the Holy City had never heard of the craftsman Golden Warhammer before. With the rise of the Golden Warhammer’s reputation, the value of the craftsman’s brand would increase.
Of course, they still had to go through hunger marketing.
Levi only needed to make sure that the money he earned was enough for his cultivation and that he had some spare cash on him.
All in all, ignoring the cost of Levi’s time, this Silver Scale Armor had earned him a net profit of over 500 gold coins!
From now on, Levi only needed to sell one or two pieces of armor a month. A normal blacksmith would only be able to produce two pieces of armor after a month of forging, with the help of many apprentices and blacksmiths.
On the other hand, if Levi focused on forging, he could easily forge a dozen pieces in a month. However, that would delay his cultivation and he would not be able to do anything.
He made an appointment with the staff for the next delivery time.
Levi went to the commission reward area and learned from the staff that someone had contacted him.
Levi’s heart skipped a beat as he arrived at the private room.
The other party was also wearing a mask. His body was stooped and thin.
Although he was wearing civilian clothes, there was a hidden aristocratic aura.
Levi could feel the lethargy aura coming from him as if he was an old man.
“Young man, do you need ambergris?” The man asked in a voice that sounded like he had gone through a lot of changes in his life.
“That’s right.” Naturally, Levi could not place all his hopes on the Holy City
Ceremony in four days. Besides, he knew that the ambergris of an Earthly Dragon Beast could only help him cultivate to a high-level knight at most. The peak of his cultivation and Grand Knights would all require ambergris. In short, the more ambergris he had, the better.
“I know someone who has ambergris. Not only does that person have ambergris, but he also has an Earthly Dragon Beast egg, which was laid by the Earthly Dragon Beast that will be killed by the Fist of the Empire in four days.” This person’s words were shocking.
“I don’t need the Earthly Dragon Beast’s egg, I only need the Ambergris. If you have the Ambergris, I’m willing to buy it at market price. I’ll buy as much as you have.” Levi said impatiently.
He didn’t even know if the Earthly Dragon Beast’s eggs could hatch. Even if they could hatch, it would take a long time before they could grow to the age where they could extract ambergris. Unlike the giant bear in the north, which only took seven or eight years to mature, it would take at least decades.
He did not want to become someone else’s gun for no reason. It was obvious that this person wanted to use Levi to do something shameful.
“There is a statue made of ambergris in the mansion of the inner city’s finance minister, Myka. It was a gift from his son-in-law for his 60th birthday. Although I don’t know how much ambergris you need, I believe that a two-foot-tall solid ambergris statue is worth tens of thousands of gold, right?”
After this person finished speaking, Levi’s heart could not help but change slightly.
If this was true, then this Myka person and his son-in-law were too f*cking prodigal.
They had actually solidified such precious ambergris into a statue.
“Is this the world of a big shot?” Levi suddenly felt a deep fear for the Duke of Montenegro.
The finance minister of the Tuva Empire had the same status as the Duke of Montenegro.
He hunted Earthly Dragon Beasts, traveled tens of thousands of miles, and even worked as a servant every day for this little bit of ambergris. How could these damn big shots use it to build statues? Ridiculous!
“Who is Myka’s son-in-law?” Levi asked. “Emperor Mu.”
That person slowly said a person’s name.
Levi was stunned. He had heard of Emperor Mu before.
This was because, during the preparation for the ceremony, this person’s other name had been mentioned time and time again.
In the eyes of the citizens of the Holy City of Lantis, this person was a living legend.
He was the strongest in the empire, the Patronus of the Holy City, and the captain of the Storm Knights.
His brilliance even overshadowed the Empire Lord.
“Fist of the Empire! Emperor Mu!”
