Chapter 114: All Breakthrough!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi- Bo Studio
Although the Black Water Valley was poor, it was still a territory that the Emerald King had directly granted to Levis ancestors 200 years ago.
Therefore, it was not under the Duke of Montenegros or his subordinates jurisdiction.
Levi did not need to send troops to support the Duke of Montenegro. He would not support his enemies either.
However, he finally understood why the Duke of Montenegro did not have any reaction even after Magic Shark had disappeared for so long.
The Duke of Montenegro was a big shot and was too busy to care about a small character like him.
Levi felt a little disappointed about not being taken seriously by his enemy.
Of course, he was glad the chaos would give him more time to breathe.
Fight, fight, fight all of you. Just dont disturb my cultivation, Levi thought.
With the current military strength of the Black Water Valley, as long as it was not an army pressing down, they could protect themselves.
In the hidden training ground within the Montenegro Mountain Range, there were a hundred elite Red Blood Cavalry. These were the trump cards and elites of the Black Water Valley, and they were the core combat force.
On the surface of Black Snake Castle, there were still 100 full-time soldiers and 200 militia. They were mainly used to cooperate with the Red Blood Cavalry and confuse their potential enemies.
Because of these wars, many refugees flowed into the serf market.
Levi took the opportunity to expand the territorys population, reclaim the wasteland, increase agriculture, and expand the forging industry. Even if the enemy invaded, it was enough to protect themselves.
Therefore, Levi was not very worried about the territory.
At most, he would elope.
With his strength close to that of a grand knight, he could go anywhere.
Levi was too lazy to change dwellings now that he was used to the comfort of this territory.
Meanwhile, the transaction between Master Tyra and the Earl of Silver Mountain continued as usual.
The Earl of Silver Mountain did not participate in the expedition of the Montenegro Mountain Army. He thought the Duke of Montenegro was like him, worrying about the upcoming Snow Demon Disaster daily. Only when the Duke of Black Mountain suddenly played this trick did he realize he and the other great nobles in the north were just fools the Duke used.
The Duke of Montenegro did not care about the Snow Demons. His goal was to imitate the Tuva Empire and use his iron cavalry and iron fists to establish a peerless Montenegro Mountain Empire and replace the Emerald Kingdom!
The Earl of Blood of Lush Forest Province and the Earl of Silversilk of Blue Sea Province were pawns of the Duke of Montenegro to take over the South! The Duke of Montenegro had instigated many other nobles to join the rebel
camp.
He had planned this for a long time.
Ultimately, the Earl of Silver Mountain could only place his hopes on himself.
In this era, relying on others for the truths sake was impossible. He had invited Master Tyra to join him many times, only to be rejected.
Regarding Black Water Valleys diplomacy, the new Shameless Priest Zaroff was much easier to get along with than Abraham.
At the very least, after Levi donated some money to him, the fat man did not cause Li Wei any trouble.
Levis small treasury in the shelter was filled with more gold coins over time. Every day, he slept and woke up on the ground full of gold coins like a dragon, living a life of luxury.
He continued to cultivate selflessly and worked hard.
Levi had refined several Man-Faced Spider series poisons to deal with the powerful enemies he might face. Unfortunately, making medicines was different from forging. These repetitive medicines could no longer increase Li Weis Pharmacy proficiency.
If he wanted to reach level 4, Levi would have to refine a new medicine. However, that would require a formula, so he could only give up.
After this cultivation period, Levi upgraded the Blood Whale Breathing Technique to level 6, which had a Special Effect: Advanced Endurance.
After the upgrade, Levi could feel that his endurance in battle increased greatly, and the duration of his explosive power had also increased greatly.
This was the effect of Advanced Endurance. It allowed Levi to be like a never-ending battle machine, and he would not tire out easily. This was equivalent to increasing Levis durability.
The Man-Faced Spiders Breathing Technique had reached the limit of level 6.
The Intermediate Vibrosensing had been upgraded to Advanced Vibrosensing. The range of perception was 30 meters.
Although Levi was not omniscient in this area, his Perception skills exceeded his expectations.
Within thirty meters, any movement or attack of the enemy would be captured by Levi.
Levis Siren Breathing Technique had also successfully broken through to level 7, giving birth to a Top-tier Speed.
He experimented for a while. He only needed two seconds to run a 100-meter dash at his top speed when he used his full strength.
This was almost the same effect as flying.
Of course, this kind of full-force outburst could not last for long. However, it was still very terrifying. It had already surpassed the fastest mammalia in his previous life, the cheetah!
The level 7 Black Snake Seed still suppressed the Siren Seed at level 7. The situation that Levi was worried about did not happen.
He had underestimated the power of the Black Snake.
Therefore, he was relieved to plant the Giant Rhinoceros at level 7 and give birth to Top-tier Strength.
The increase brought by top-notch strength was huge. His current strength had already surpassed any of the three brothers about to reach adulthood.
Unless the three brothers joined forces, none of them would be a match for Levi in a tug-of-war.
He was far from wrestling with bears. He could now wrestle an elephant!
With the support of all kinds of breathing techniques, Levis proficiency panel now illustrated the competencies of an all-rounded warrior:
[Seal of Flame: Level 2 (2333/5000)] [Seal of Protection: Level 2 (2/5000)]
[Seal of Hell: Level 1 (600/1000)]
[Black Snake Breathing Technique: Level 7 (15555/50000), Special Effect:
Top-tier Defense]
[Blood Whale Breathing Technique: Level 6 (120/40000), Special Effect:
Advanced Endurance]
[Giant Rhinoceros Breathing Technique: Level 7 (Maximum, breakthrough available, current progress: 2/5), Special Effect: Top-tier Strength]
[Siren Breathing Technique: Level 7 (Maximum, breakthrough available, current progress: 1/5, Special Effect: Top-tier Speed, Bone Shrinking Transformation]
[Man-Faced Spider Breathing Technique: Level 6 (Maximum), Special Effect:
Advanced Vibrosensing, Spider Sensing.] [Vortex Beast Breathing Technique: Level 2 (368/5000)]
[Giant Breathing Technique: Level 1 (256/1000)]
Besides the two brothers, the Vortex Beast and the Giant Breathing Techniques, which were stagnant due to the lack of secret medicines, Levi had already cultivated all the other breathing techniques to an extremely high level.
I already possess Top-tier Defense, Top-tier Strength, and Top-tier Speed.
Now, I lack Top-tier Endurance, Physique, and Vibrosensing. Of course, there might be other breathing techniques, but I havent encountered them yet.
Levi could now suppress Magic Shark, half a grand knight-level puppet, within five rounds.
Among the other shallow breathing techniques that he had obtained from the Earl of Silver Mountain last year, all the strength-type and speed-type breathing techniques had been cultivated to the limit by Levi. Then, he merged them into the Siren Breathing Technique and the Giant Rhinoceros Breathing Technique, forcefully pushing these two shallow breathing techniques, originally at the limit of level 5, to the unprecedented level 7 realm.
The current Siren Breathing Technique and Giant Rhinoceros Breathing Technique were no longer shallow breathing techniques. They were truly excellent breathing techniques. However, they could not be compared to excellent-grade breathing techniques like the Black Snake and Giant Breathing Techniques. They were probably similar to third -class breathing techniques like the Vortex Beast.
To break through the limit after level 7, Levi would need to cultivate five breathing techniques of the same type at the limit of level 4. He did not have that many breathing techniques, so he could only give up.
On the other hand, the progress for the Seal of Flame, Seal of Protection, and Seal of Hell were slow.
In the end, it was because there were too few casting materials.
This was an objective problem Levi could not solve for the time being.
Levi came out of the shelter. When Harris saw him, it landed on his shoulder. After this period, Harris and Levis cooperation gradually became flawless.
Levi had now become extremely equipped. His aura was extraordinary.
He left Black Snake Castle and asked Magic Shark to guard the shelter. He then rushed to Icewind City.
Levi went to the Shining Tavern and purchased a Core of the Undead.
One Undead Core could grant Levi 100 Proficiency points in the Seal of Hell. Currently, the Seal of Hell already has 600 Proficiency points. He only needed to purchase three more Cores in the future, and Levis Seal of Hell would be able to advance to level 2.
At that time, Levi could control two grand knight puppets simultaneously.
Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to meet a suitable grand knight enemy like the Magic Shark.
Apart from the Core of the Undead, he made no other purchase.
There were no breathing techniques, Evil Spirit Dust, Turbellarian Egg, or Frost Apes Blood.
After such a long time, Levi was already used to it.
Cultivation was not easy.
After leaving the tavern and walking to a deserted place, Levis body began to change. He wore the golden mask and brought his goods of the month to the Earl of Silver Mountains residence.
The transaction was made quickly.
The retainer smiled, Master Tyra, dont be in a hurry to leave. The Earl is looking for you. Levi stopped.
Alright, Ill go see the Earl.
After such a long time of trading, Levi had a good impression of the Earl of Silver Mountain.
Besides some traditional problems with nobles, he was generally trustworthy. Among the nobles in the north who were like barbarians, he was considered to be gentle and easy to get along with.
This was also why Levi could work with the Earl of Silver Mountain for such a long time.
The Earl of Silver Mountain was dealing with important government affairs in the living room. When he saw Levi, he stopped and said, Im sorry, Master, I need to take up some of your time. Recently, there have been more matters in the territory. Its been a long time since I sat down and chatted with you.
If you have something to say, just say it. I will help you within my ability, Levi said.
The Earl of Silver Mountain responded, Its nothing much. I just wanted to tell Master not to come to Icewind City for now if theres nothing else. Ive received information that after some time, a large army of the Wilderness Brotherhood might attack Icewind City, and the city might not be peaceful for a while. If you want to stay in the city, I can ask my Silver Hunter Guards to protect you. Or, you can move to my Silver Mountain Castle!
He was not afraid of the Wilderness Brotherhoods army.
After all, they were just a mob. Many of them were civilians and serfs who had been brainwashed. Their weapons and equipment could not be compared with his regular army.
Hearing this, Levis heart skipped a beat. He replied, Thank you for your kindness, Earl. I wont trouble you any further. I wont be coming to Icewind City for the time being. Ill continue delivering goods to you after the war.
The Earl of Silver Mountain smiled, Alright, Master. Be careful.
He looked at Levis distant figure and could not help but sigh, We havent even settled the Snow Demons, and its already in a mess.
On the other side, after Levi left the city, he found that some fortifications had already been built. It seemed like a big battle was about to start.
However, he did not plan to leave the city. He wanted to take this opportunity to get some information about the Wild Boar Knight from the Wilderness Brotherhood.
I hope the Wild Boar Knight doesnt die.. Otherwise, who can I find to take revenge?
