Chapter 94: Naiad!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Soon, Sam and the others brought Levi to see Fred’s corpse.
Judging from his clothes and weapon, it was Fred.
Levi suddenly felt an indescribable sadness.
He knew that he was destined to part with Fred.
However, he did not expect this day to come so early.
Fred’s greatest wish was for Levi to take back Tulip Hill and Storm Hill and restore the glory of the Black Snake family.
However, Levi knew that it was tough. It was not difficult to take back the territory, but defending it was challenging.
He was destined to embark on the path of a wizard. Before that, he might not even have any descendants. Even if he did, the possibility of his descendants being able to protect his territory was zero.
All mortals had to die, and Levi could not be trapped in the mortal cage of the territory forever.
To him, territory and money were just tools for immortality.
Levi had already thought of this when he decided to become a wizard. As Levi became more powerful, his reliance on the territory would also decrease.
However, he still had to take revenge.
The wandering knights were just an excuse.
The Duke of Montenegro was being so secretive. The grand knight must be from Montenegro Mountain.
After the three failures of the Bird of Death’s Voice, he finally could not help but personally engage in battle!
“I will cultivate Golden Cross Slash step by step to the highest realm. I will use the supreme Revolving Force to inherit the name of the Dawn Swordsman!” Atter Levi had dealt with his sadness, he began managing the current situation.
He found the three brothers hidden by Sam. They were covered in wounds. It was obvious that they had suffered severe injuries during the battle with the grand Imight. The three brothers might have died if Fred and the cavalrymen had not sacrificed themselves.
Fred knew that the three brothers and the Red Blood Cavalry would be Levi’s trump cards in the future, so he made them retreat.
The three brothers were about to reach adulthood, and their current strength was comparable to that of a mid-level knight. Even a high-level knight would struggle to resist the three little fellows working together.
In their adulthood, they would be at least a high-level knight. The three brothers would be invincible with the Giant Bear Armor that Levi had made for them!
When the three brothers saw Levi, they were incredibly affectionate. Ignoring the pain, they wanted to hug Levi.
Levi told them to recuperate in peace, eat and drink well, and get the veterinarian to buy the best animal medicine to treat them.
With the three brothers’ powerful physiques, it was only a matter of time before they recovered.
Besides the three brothers, the strongest within Blood Red Cavalry was also saved.
Currently, there are still 32 Red Blood Cavalry in the territory. Almost all the other foot soldiers had died, but there were very few casualties among the residents. That uninvited guest did not seem to have attacked the residents.
From the few survivors, Levi learned that the grand knight seemed to have left in a hurry, as if something had happened. They heard him shouting, “D*mn woman, get off me!”
However, the survivors did not see any women.
In short, not long after the grand knight started his massacre, he hurriedly left the Black Water Valley.
Otherwise, a grand Imight with full firepower would have eliminated the territory.
“Woman… The Black Water River. It was…’ “It’s still in the Black Water River!”
“That evil spirit!”
Levi was shocked and confused.
“Why can’t these people see the evil spirit, but the original body and the grand Imight can? I can understand if a grand knight can see it; after all, he is a grand knight, and to a certain extent, he is already extraordinary.” “When I was fishing, I was still a child, just an ordinary person.”
“Naiad…What on earth is it?” Levi muttered.
After being attacked by the evil spirit, Levi had specially searched for many legends and books about evil spirits.
However, most about evil spirits like Naiad were vague, and there was no solution.
And now, after Levi thought that the evil spirits had disappeared…
After so many years, the evil spirit had reappeared in the Black Water River.
In the Spirit Exorcism Manual that Levi had obtained, there was no introduction to evil spirits.
The diary only said that these things were born in the human world after the return of the Dark Wave.
The greatest fear of humans was the fear of the unknown and the fear of insufficient firepower.
“Pass down my order. From now on, no one can fish or play with water in the Black Water River. Unless it’s for important matters such as irrigation, try not to go there!” Levi said coldly.
Levi was very nervous now that the evil spirit had reappeared in his territory.
However, Levi knew nothing about evil spirits.
Although the descendants of the Winchester family did not care about ordinary evil spirits, they were all experienced exorcists and had family inheritances. They also knew a lot about evil spirits.
They must have also mastered the Seal of Dragon Might, a divine skill against evil spirits or some spirit-repelling tools.
Levi had yet to obtain [Evil Spirit Dust].
Therefore, he was worried that he did not have an effective attack on the evil spirit.
Levi was not naive enough to think that the evil spirit had chased the grand knight away for him and that it was just a coincidence.
“However, the grand knight seems to have gained the ability to resist the
Naiad. At least he managed to escape. This is good news.”
“How did he escape? With his powerful physique?”
Levi’s original body had died instantly.
Suddenly, he thought of something.
“Fight magic with magic,” his dad told him.
If evil spirits could be compared to magical creatures, the thing closest to magic or transcendence on the Imight was…
Black gas!
“Oh right, black gas!”
“Perhaps this is the key to me being able to fight against evil spirits!”
“I’m not even a grand knight right now. The quality of my black gas is not good enough. I can’t fight head-on with the evil spirit. I’ll take a detour for the time being. ”
“From the looks of it, Naiad’s attack range is limited to the shore of the Black Water River. We should be fine if we don’t go to the Black Water River. Of course, this is just my guess.”
“Fortune and misfortune depend on each other.” Levi sighed. His arrival had temporarily calmed the hearts of the people.
However, it would take some time for the territory to recover.
“Next, everyone should return to the territory and resume production. Sam, please bury the dead cavalry brothers properly and compensate their families.
At the same time, train the recruits.”
“Milan, continue forging. If you don’t have enough staffing, tell me.”
“Although we suffered heavy losses during the grand knight invasion, everyone worked together to kill those official knights. This is a testament to how everyone’s daily training is very effective.”
“People will die if killed, and so will grand knights. As long as our territory is strong enough, and if that person dares to return, we will get him!” Levi said.
The most important thing now was to resume production. After encountering the evil spirit, there was a high chance the grand knight would not return to Black Water Valley.
With Levi’s current strength, he would not be afraid even if he returned. After assembling the Frost Giant Armor, Levi had the confidence and strength to fight against a grand knight!
His strength had significantly increased since he had already advanced to a high-level knight.
If not for stability, he would have thought of a way to kill that grand knight to vent his hatred.
However, after thinking about it, he decided to digest the gains from his trip to the Holy City and increase his strength before chasing after the enemy.
It was the year 1009 of the Holy Brilliance Calendar, the Month of Germinal.
After a recovery period, the Black Water Valley had returned to normal operations, and all walks of life were gradually recovering.
The territory was also constantly replenishing its population and recruiting new soldiers.
Everything was back on track.
Levi waited for a month, but the grand knight never returned.
He did not know when the enemy would attack again but was already prepared.
He was not short of money now. He had gained a lot from his trip to the Holy City.
After his detailed calculations, the highlights of his trip to the Holy City were not gains like ambergris and breathing techniques. Instead, he gained plenty of money from the wealth he had obtained from the official’s mansion and the
Bloody Hand Gang, plus the gold coins he had received from selling the armor.
In the end, there were more than 8,000 standard gold coins in Emerald Kingdom’s currency.
He set aside 5,000 gold coins to save for his cultivation and emergencies.
As for the rest of the money, he would continue to invest in the workforce, material resources, forging, and the military.
This month, he recruited a few Official Blacksmiths to join his territory and continue construction.
Furthermore, with Levi’s Blacksmith Master title, earning was not an issue.
The most important thing now was converting the money he earned into his and the territory’s strength.
He would use his strength as the main force and the territory’s strength as a supplement.
All in all, Levi had to thank the evil spirit Naiad.
If not for it, the losses suffered by Levi’s territory would have been far from what it was now.
The territory resumed operations, and Levi did not delay his cultivation.
To him, the army was just an external entity that played a supporting role.
Compelling confidence still had to be one’s strength.
Therefore, cultivation was always the top priority.
During this month, Levi made much progress in his breathing techniques.
The first was the Blood Whale Breathing Technique he obtained from Boss Bloody Hand.
As an excellent breathing technique, Levi was very interested in it.
The secret medicine needed was Narwhal horns.
Narwhals were powerful marine creatures in the deep sea. Although Levi had never seen them before, he had heard from the traveling poets during the breeding season every year. When Narwhals returned from the deep to the shallow sea to breed and mate, the people by the sea would see the behemoth that was 30 meters long and weighed hundreds of tons.
Although these sea beasts were mighty, they were very docile. Their horns were also excellent raw materials for carving.
Therefore, Levi did not spend much money obtaining Narwhal horns from some collectors. He then made them into secret potions that could last him long.
After Levi’s one month of cultivation, not only had he mastered the Blood Whale Breathing Technique, but Levi had also upgraded it to level 3.
According to the breathing technique inheritance diagram description, after promoting to a knight by cultivating the Blood Whale Breathing Technique, the seed of blood whale could significantly enhance knights’ endurance.
In addition, a new organ would be born in the body: the whale sac..
