Chaos Erupts, Grinding Like Mad!

Abraham Church.

It was midnight, and the cold was bone-chilling.

A the Church clergyman was awakened by the urge to urinate and got up to use the toilet. He happened to see a thin figure wearing a black bird-beak mask quickly running out of Abraham's pastor's room and disappearing into the darkness.

He immediately realized something was wrong and suddenly shouted, "Help! There's an assassin! Catch the assassin! Help!"

Immediately, the church clergy woke up from their sleep.

They picked up their weapons and got up to search for the assassin.

They searched for a while, but ultimately found nothing.

Where is the assassin?

"Who said there were assassins!"

The assassin Levi had already left the Abraham Church, disposed of the body, and quickly returned to Blackwater Valley.

Back in the Sanctuary, Levi laid out his haul on the ground and tallied it up, overjoyed! He had collected over six thousand Gold Coins, along with several treasures from Abraham's private collection, bringing the total value to over ten thousand Gold Coins.

"They've made so much money in just a few years?"

"Damn it, being a charlatan in another world is incredibly lucrative."

"But what's the use of making so much money if you don't live to enjoy it? Why can't you think straight?"

Actually, if he could, Levi wouldn't want to take action so soon.

He wanted the chives to grow a little longer.

But Abraham, that old dog, pulled this stunt before he left, and he couldn't stand it any longer, so he had no choice but to start harvesting the crops ahead of time.

It must be said that the church's profitability far exceeds that of its own territory.

They work hard on construction, but it's not as quick to make money as the church by using various clever pretexts.

In any era, honestly making money can never compete with robbing people through various legal means.

Levi's assassination was very well concealed. After he infiltrated the church, no one except the victim, the Glimmer Knight, and Priest Abraham knew that an assassin had infiltrated. As for the fact that he was discovered by the clergyman in the end, it was intentional on his part.

He wanted to give the other the Church staff the false impression that the assassins who Voice of the Deathbird had assassinated Priest Abraham.

With his near- Great Knight strength, assassinating a mere priest without anyone noticing would have been a piece of cake. He deliberately waited for someone to get up in the night and intentionally created a coincidence.

"The Frost Giant's Sigh is really useful."

The Glimmer Knight was High-Rank Knight, yet he was instantly killed by Levi 'Frost Giant's Sigh, frozen into an ice sculpture. Li Wei didn't even have to lift a finger. This was the power of the Frost Giant Armor. Even the Great Knight Demon Shark was affected by it, let alone a mere High-Rank Knight.

As for Abraham the Dog, he's not even worth mentioning.

Levi crossed "Abraham the old dog" off his Revenge List.

Levi doesn't dare to confront the Church head-on now, but he can still kill one of its old dogs.

And Abraham, that old dog, must have made quite a few enemies over the years, so it's perfectly reasonable for someone to hire an assassin with the Voice of the Deathbird to assassinate him.

"The church must be in complete chaos right now."

"But what does that have to do with me?"

"I am just a kind nobleman who donates to the Church every year, and a noble friend of Priest Abraham."

"Blame that damned Voice of the Deathbird."

Levi was talking to himself.

In addition to the Gold Coins, Levi also found a parchment at Abraham's residence.

The parchment does not contain Breathing Technique Inheritance Diagram.

Instead, it was a Treasure Map. Levi took a look at it.

The location of the treasure on this Treasure Map seems to be within my own territory.

"Could this be the reason why Abraham was so fixated on the Blackwater Valley?"

The Treasure Map is not very accurate; there are many mistakes.

For the next few days, the curious Levi wandered around his territory for a long time, following the Treasure Map.

Eventually, he found a treasure location that was roughly the same.

And this place was the Wolf King's den that Levi had visited before.

Levi was both amused and exasperated, but he gradually came to understand everything.

"So that's what that old dog Abraham was plotting to get my Blackwater Valley for."

"I thought it was some kind of treasure."

Abraham, that old dog, could never have imagined this before he died.

He went to great lengths to obtain the Mellon Family's treasure.

In fact, it had already been obtained by Levi.

Given the power of the Frost Giant Armor, calling it a treasure wouldn't be an exaggeration.

For ordinary people, this is priceless! Three days later.

News of the disappearance of Priest Abraham and the Glimmer Knight also reached Blackwater Valley.

Levi immediately sent his heartfelt condolences to the Church, expressed his deep sympathy for such Mortal World tragedy, and strongly condemned the murderer's actions!

A few days later, the news reached the Church branch in Icewind City.

While reporting to headquarters, the branch also sent people to investigate the Abraham Church.

As a priest sent here by headquarters, Abraham held a relatively high position, which is why he was constantly protected by powerful Radiant Knight Order like the Glimmer Knight Light.

However, now all the priests and Knight have been killed, none of them have survived.

This kind of thing hasn't happened for several years, so the Church naturally has to investigate it thoroughly.

However, Levi did it so secretly that with the criminal investigation technology of that era, it was impossible to trace him back to Levi.

And even if they do find out, Levi isn't afraid.

With his current strength, there's nowhere in the world he can't go. The chaotic Tuva Empire would be a perfect destination.

No matter how powerful your Holy Radiance Church is, it can't reach the Tuva Empire, which is the territory of the Storm Church!

On this day, Levi was practicing asceticism at the Sanctuary.

Suddenly Harris's alarm sounded over the Sanctuary, which Levi keenly noticed.

"Who is it this time?" Levi asked, puzzled.

He appeared on the castle and saw a troop of people slowly approaching in the distance.

This group of people were dressed in the Church attire and appeared to be the Church members.

Levi immediately went down to greet him, and before long, a stout priest with a round head and big ears rode up to Levi on horseback.

Beside the priest were two Formal Knight and a dozen or so cavalrymen.

"Baron Levi, I am Charafo, a priest of the Church. I have come to serve as the priest of the Abraham Church and, incidentally, to investigate the cause of Priest Abraham's death."

Levi's heart skipped a beat; he hadn't expected that Charafo would arrive ahead of schedule because of Abraham's death.

"Welcome Priest Charafo. I just heard the news of the tragic death of my dear friend, Priest Abraham. I urge Priest Charafo to make sure the murderer is caught and brought to Bring to Justice, so that the kind Priest Abraham in Heaven can find justice." Levi looked grief-stricken.

"I will, but the bodies of Priest Abraham and the Glimmer Knight haven't been found yet, making the investigation difficult. Also, the church's treasury has been ransacked by the murderers, leaving us without the money to hire detectives..." Charafo said calmly, rubbing his stomach.

Levi thought to himself, "I burned the corpses to ashes with the Flame Stream Seal, of course you can't find them."

But you fat pig, you've only just taken office and you're already trying to squeeze some money out of me, huh?

"No problem, no problem. As long as we can find the murderer and avenge Priest Abraham, Priest Charafo, please feel free to ask if there's anything I can do to help." Levi sighed heavily.

Charafo smiled to himself, thinking that this Baron Levi was quite good; he liked people like this who understood things.

In the end, Levi had his servants bring over a dozen Gold Coins as "investigation funds" for Priest Charafo. He said with a smile, "Priest Charafo, this is a small token of my appreciation. Please don't think it's too little. I hope the Church can get to the bottom of this matter as soon as possible."

Charafo accepted the Gold Coins with satisfaction and said, "We'll be neighbors from now on. Oh, by the way, Baron Levi, I checked the church's accounts, and the taxes owed by Blackwater Valley haven't been paid off yet. Don't forget."

"Of course I haven't forgotten, Priest Charafo. Don't worry, we've already paid the taxes we owed this year, and I will definitely pay them in full before the due date next year," Levi said.

Charafo patted his belly and led his men away from Blackwater Valley.

"Damn it, one Abraham died and now another Charafo comes along, it's never going to end," Levi cursed inwardly.

"Luckily, I grabbed six thousand gold coins in advance. You might make a profit, but you definitely won't lose!"

Judging from Charafo's appearance, it seems that Priest Abraham's case is destined to fade into obscurity.

"In short, they can't trace it back to me. I was wearing the Deathbird Mask, and my body shape is completely different from now. It would be a miracle if they could trace it back to me." Levi returned to the Sanctuary. The Voice of the Deathbird had harmed him so many times, so this time he would make them take the blame as a way of returning the Levi.

The year 1010 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Origin, the New Year.

Just when Levi thought life would continue peacefully, a major event occurred.

The White Horse Knight's wife found his desiccated remains in his secluded retreat. The White Horse Knight White Horse Knight was dead...

Moreover, this did not happen this year.

It happened last year, but the Royal Family has been keeping it a secret.

Many citizens still believed that the White Horse Knight was breaking through the Legendary Realm.

Little did they know, the White Horse Knight had been dead for a long time.

Until this point, things simply could no longer be contained, and within a month, the matter swept across the entire Emerald Kingdom.

Levi found it unbelievable.

"How could that be? Even if he failed to break through to the Legendary Realm, he shouldn't die..." Levi was completely puzzled.

This is a figure comparable to the Empire's Fist, standing at the pinnacle of his era.

Lost in thought, Levi recalled the last words spoken by the old man from the Mellon Family during his journey to the Holy City.

"It must have been the Church," Levi guessed.

"This is a negative example of being too flamboyant. From now on, I must be powerful in a low-key manner and not get arrogant. The nail that sticks out gets hammered down. I can be very powerful, but I absolutely cannot be very famous, because that will only attract the attention of the Church."

In the Emerald Kingdom, there can only be one faith: the Heavenly Father.

Mortals, don't even dream of becoming... gods.

Although the Little Prince died, it had little to do with Levi, who continued to stay home and grind for experience points.

However, just a few days later, when he went to Icewind City to deliver goods to Earl Silver Mountain, another big news came crashing down on Levi.

"The king is dead too; father and son went to meet the Heavenly Father, one after the other..."

"He died peacefully in his sleep, without poisoning or any other signs of homicide. It seemed like he died of old age, but some people suspect it was... the work of Evil Spirit!"

"Even the king was attacked by Evil Spirit? What were those Great Knight guarding him doing?"

"This is getting more and more chaotic. What kind of mess is this?"

Levi hurriedly returned to his territory, sensing the approaching atmosphere of a massive storm.

He couldn't think of any way to deal with the situation other than constantly getting stronger.

Ultimately, although he was very strong.

However, in the current political circles of the Emerald Kingdom, he is just an insignificant figure, not a big shot.

There are many things that, if you're not in that world, you'd never understand, no matter how hard you try.

The Month of Origin, the time when the moon is in its middle.

Before the king's body had even been buried, someone claimed to have discovered traces of the "Snow Wraith" in the border area between the Emerald Kingdom and the Eternal Night Kingdom.

The Black Mountain Duke, the Earl Silver Mountain, the Earl Iron Lake, and several other great northern nobles joined forces to pressure the Emerald Royal Family, demanding that the Royal Family conscript soldiers from all the great nobles in the country to form Northern Territory Allied Army to resist the Snow Wraith army that was about to march south.

The Royal Family is also in a daze. Now the Royal Family's Rising Star, White Horse Knight Edward, is dead, and even the old king is dead. The Church hasn't even had time to perform the divine right of kings ceremony for the crown prince.

Now, the powerful nobles, led by the Northern Seven Horsemen, are demanding that the Royal Family family mobilize the entire nation to launch a northern expedition to resist the Snow Wraith. Isn't this a joke?

Even if the Royal Family were willing to do this, the nobles in the south, who were still far from the Snow Wraith, would not be happy.

After all, it would be too frivolous to launch an expedition and waste manpower and resources without even seeing a shadow of the Snow Wraith.

In this matter, almost all the northern nobles stood on the same side. Because they were closer to the Eternal Night Kingdom, they were the only ones who truly felt the terror of the Snow Wraith Disaster.

Unable to obtain a response from the Royal Family, during the Month of Budding, the Black Mountain Duke, the head of the great nobles in the north, launched an unprecedented conscription of his vassal nobles, intending to lead the Snow Wraith army that was about to invade the Northern Territory alone.

The Black Mountain Duke required all his lords and vassals to provide him with sufficient troops and supplies.

A month later, a Black Mountain Allied Army consisting of several thousand cavalry and tens of thousands of infantry was initially formed.

While the nobles in the south were watching the show, groups of people, under the banner of "chaos and freedom," began to rebel in their territories. The long-dormant "Brotherhood of the Wilds" added fuel to the fire of the already chaotic situation.

Shortly thereafter, the Bloody Earl of Green Forest Province and the Silver Gauze Earl of Blue Sea Province, two great nobles in the south, launched a surprise attack on their neighboring noble territories without warning. They violated the peace treaty signed by the various nobles under the witness of the Emerald King and launched an unjust war of aggression.

Months later, the Black Mountain Duke's army did not appear on the northern border of the kingdom. Instead, this fierce army from the Northern Territory had somehow moved south and suddenly appeared on the fertile plains of the Blue Sea Province and the Green Forest Province.

The appearance of the Snow Wraith in the north is just a rumor. The Black Mountain Duke's true intention is to unite with his henchmen in the south and seize the fertile territory there.

The Church did not stop or halt this behavior, but instead maintained close ties with the "heretic" Brotherhood of the Wilds, turning a blind eye to the impending civil war.

In just a few months, various forces emerged, plunging the entire Emerald Kingdom into chaos.

Blackwater Valley, Levi was sensing the chaotic atmosphere while frantically working himself to the bone in the Sanctuary!
