Equivalent Exchange Pot! Meditation Technique!
"Money can make the devil turn the millstone; the ancients were right."
Levi originally just wanted to conduct an experiment, but he never expected this.
Gold can indeed harm Evil Spirit.
Although this damage is relatively minor.
But this is also a major breakthrough.
This is equivalent to making a monster like Evil Spirit, which can't lose health no matter how you attack it, have a health bar displayed in front of the player.
As long as you have a health bar, you can use an axe to hack your way from Greek mythology to Norse mythology.
Levi could also rely on his powerful defenses to slowly wear down the Evil Spirit.
I'm not afraid of low damage, I'm afraid of not losing health no matter how I attack.
"In that case, I need to Forging a set of golden inner... no, Golden Saint Cloth."
Levi naturally wouldn't wear this Golden Saint Cloth on the outside; he would wear it underneath.
This Golden Saint Cloth won't be very thick; it'll be made to a thickness similar to gold paper.
"This way, I'll have more confidence when facing Evil Spirit in the future."
He had saved a lot of money, of which 10,000 Gold Coins Forging this golden holy sword.
He planned to take some of the remaining Gold Coins and make them into Golden Saint Cloth.
Without hesitation, Levi made full use of his Forging skills and began to arm himself.
Two days later.
Levi, adorned with gold and silver, stood inside the Sanctuary looking like a nouveau riche.
"No, the Golden Legend is still too dazzling, too glittering, and it's easy for people to target it. I need to add some paint." Levi painted the Golden Saint Cloth black.
The black and gold Saint Cloth is also quite good.
The golden holy sword was also wrapped in strips of cloth by Levi.
Otherwise, this thing would be too conspicuous to carry around; it's practically like it has "I'm rich, come and rob me" written on its back.
"Such valuable equipment shouldn't be left without a name."
"The Black Gold Cloth is called... the Golden Thread Garment."
Levi originally wanted to name it "Golden Armor," but he felt it didn't sound very good.
"The Golden Holy Sword is called, The Echo of Gold."
From now on, Levi will always carry two swords.
In his left hand is the Mithril, Frostmourne, which is his main weapon.
In his right hand was a golden sword, its Echo of Gold; this was his secondary weapon.
Mithril slays men and the dead, gold slays evil and malevolent Evil Spirit! Two swords, each with a distinct role.
After all, gold is not very hard and is not suitable as a primary weapon.
"Perfect. I should be considered Spirit Banishment Master now."
Black Qi, the Dragon Might Seal, the Echo of Gold.
These are all effective methods against Evil Spirit.
Even if we encounter powerful Evil Spirit in the future, we should be able to put them to the test.
"Gold is truly a wonderful thing; it not only gives me financial security but also physical security," Levi remarked.
We still need to make more money.
I'll build myself a golden house someday, no matter how high or low I am.
That is true immunity to Evil Spirit.
"Now that my strength is about right, I can go and dig out that Snuff Bottle. I want to see what's inside."
"It's most likely Evil Spirit. But we can't rule out the possibility that it's a wizard's prank or something."
"Let's wait another month and let my Frost Giant's Sigh cool down before we talk about it."
And so, Levi waited another month.
During this month, he continued to cultivate and further strengthen himself. The black ghost claw marks that the Water Nymph had scratched out of him slowly disappeared, which relieved Levi.
Finally, the Frost Giant's Sigh has cooled down and can be used again.
"Let's begin, prepare to open the Snuff Bottle."
Everything is ready; Levi has made the best preparations he can to date.
Although there are still some risks, Levi felt it was worth a try in order to understand the wizarding world.
He did this based on his own strength, although in terms of raw power, he might still be a little weaker than someone like the Empire's Fist.
However, in terms of tactics, the Empire's Fist might not necessarily be stronger than itself.
If that Snuff Bottle bottle truly contains Evil Spirit.
I believe I also have the ability to fight back.
Moreover, my Spider Sense hasn't reacted to that Snuff Bottle so far.
Overall, after considering all the factors, Levi believed it was worth a try.
He went up the mountain behind the Sanctuary and dug up the Snuff Bottle Snuff Bottle where he had previously buried it.
Levi has already prepared the Guardian Seal, the Dragon Might Seal.
He had already made up his mind, regardless of whether there were Evil Spirit inside.
The moment you open the lid, first cast the Guardian Seal on yourself, and then cast the Dragon Might Seal into the air.
"Call."
Levi took a deep breath and did a final check on all his equipment.
Frost Giant's Sigh, Poison, Frostmourne, Echo of Gold, Frost Giant Armor, Golden Thread Garment, Casting Material, Demon Shark, Demon Mountain...
On Levi's chest, the Black Serpent Seed spiraled and coiled, riding the clouds and mist, encircling his heart.
Seventh Rank Sea Siren, Giant Rhinoceros, Blood Whale, and Sixth Order Human-Faced Spider.
Everything is ready to go!
Black Qi surged into Levi's limbs and bones, enveloping him in black flames, his hair standing on end like a Saiyan.
Demon Shark held the Snuff Bottle, awaiting Levi's instructions.
Levi kept himself three meters away from the Demon Shark and his group, which meant he was within his attack range and would have a chance to escape if anything happened to him.
"Open!"
Levi finished speaking.
Demon Shark then unscrewed the lid of the Snuff Bottle.
at the same time.
A reprimand came from inside the Snuff Bottle.
A distorted shadow emerged from the Snuff Bottle.
"Didn't I tell you? To summon the true self, you need to use a spell, not this method. Besides, wasn't the last deal completed?"
It was a vaguely discernible, bald, ghostly figure.
The next moment.
Roar! Accompanied by a dragon's roar! The bald phantom's face was filled with shock, astonishment, disbelief, and fear.
He then noticed that the bald man standing in front of him was no longer the familiar Atos!
Instead, it was a stranger White Wolf Mask.
This person was shrouded in an exaggerated black aura, making him look like a demon god who had just crawled out of the Abyss, or Nightmare Knight from the Abyss! This strength seemed to be even greater than that of Atos!
But that's not the scariest part.
The most terrifying thing was behind that person, in the void, a golden eye bathed in blazing golden flames, burning with an eternal Undying that made all things tremble with fear and bow down in submission.
That's... a dragon! And a pureblood dragon! Legend has it that the most powerful pureblood dragons are Legendary Realm creatures comparable to Demigod!
This creature is aloof, arrogant, and powerful.
The only thing that can earn their respect or even fear.
Aside from the Astral Realm gods and the Plane Dominator, there are the Legendary Wizard are wise, learned, and incredibly powerful.
Although it was just a tiny, insignificant phantom, it still startled the bald man.
"Hey... what are you doing? Let's talk this out... ah! ah!"
A powerful mental wave struck, impacting the bald phantom.
His figure suddenly became mostly blurred.
At the same time, he watched the White Wolf figure covered in bright silver light as the burly Knight lunged at him with his demonic claws encased in black flames, letting out a roar.
They seized their own destiny by the neck.
Then, a jet-black Knight Sword began to stab him repeatedly.
That wasn't all; he still wanted to argue.
The man then switched to a longsword that appeared to be made of Mithril and began stabbing himself repeatedly.
"Stop poking me, stop poking me! I'm not an undead, Mithril has no effect on me, I'm not Evil Spirit, gold has no effect on me either, so who are you?"
The bald, phantom-like figure cried out in pain.
Levi unleashed another Human-Faced Spider Breath, sending poisonous powder flying everywhere.
At the same time, he also activated the Frost Giant's Sigh.
As the phantom of the Frost Giant appeared, it snapped its fingers.
This area was completely frozen over.
"Your Excellency, it must be so, it must be so. I am merely a spirit of a weapon. Why are you treating me like this? We have no past grievances or recent feuds, have we? Why are you so vicious as to try to kill me?"
The bald phantom was almost burned away by the Black Qi.
Most of Levi's many methods were ineffective against him... except for the Black Qi and the Dragon Might Seal, especially the Dragon Might Seal.
That thing really hurt so much, it almost blew him away...
After Levi unleashed a series of attacks, he was slightly surprised to discover that the "Evil Spirit" sealed in the Snuff Bottle could actually speak.
He suddenly understood something.
"This must be a high-level Evil Spirit. Let me Dragon Might Seal a few more times." Levi began preparing hand seals again.
Seeing Levi forming hand seals again, the bald phantom cried out, "Sir, what exactly do you want to do? If you do it again, I'll die."
Levi finally stopped what he was doing, and he was still holding the bald, phantom figure in his hand.
So far, the Spider Sense have not detected any danger signals.
Even though the Chain Evil Spirit was weak, it still gave Levi a sense of danger. But this guy didn't give him any sense of danger at all.
Either he meant no harm to me, or he... is too weak.
"Come on, give me some reasons that convince me. If I'm satisfied, I might spare your life. Otherwise, prepare to vanish into thin air. You should have realized by now that I definitely have ways to kill you," Levi threatened.
"Okay... okay, let's talk this out. I'm really just a spirit." The bald phantom said weakly.
"I see that you seem to know about Rune Seal. You must be a descendant of one of the Four Great Families. Although I don't know much about the Four Great Families, I still know a little about them."
"The fact that you can use the Rune Seal so skillfully, especially the dragon Rune Seal just now, shows that you have a good talent for spellcasting."
"To be honest, before I became this damned spirit, I was a Wizard Apprentice."
"As long as you don't erase me, I'm willing to acknowledge you as my master and teach you Meditation Technique. Besides, you are a Knight yourself, and I know a Secret Medicine that can help improve Knight's level. My previous master broke through to become Great Knight with my help. Otherwise, with his talent, how could he have broken through to become Great Knight?"
"Heh, do you think I'm a fool?" Levi sneered.
However, I felt a secret excitement in my heart.
He felt he was close to finding a way to become a wizard.
Of course, it is precisely at times like these that one must remain calm.
"There's nothing I can do if you don't believe me."
"Since you claim to be a wizard, let me ask you, do you know the witch Gulvig?" Levi asked coldly, his large Black Qi hand gripping the bald phantom.
The bald phantom said without hesitation, "Of course I know her... She is a powerful figure from the [Frost Realm], a pioneer of the Frost School, and possibly the woman closest to the Ice and Snow Goddess."
Levi's expression remained unchanged, but he was muttering to himself.
"It seems that the woman Forging the armor for the Mellon Family hundreds of years ago was no ordinary person. She is still alive now and seems to be a very famous figure in the Wizarding World. The Frost Realm, it seems to be the name of the Land of the Faithless."
Levi calmly asked again, "Where is the Witch Rowling?"
"Lady Rowling, Great Wizard of the [Life Realm], the culmination of the School of Life..."
"You probably think I don't know much about the Wizarding World, and you're trying to test whether I'm lying?"
"Then you have asked the wrong questions, after all, these two people are both very famous figures."
The bald, ghostly figure spoke cautiously.
Levi was speechless.
The two wizarding leads I finally found turned out to be big shots in the Wizarding World? But this bald guy really does seem to be someone from the wizarding community.
"It seems the decline of the Four Great Families is far beyond my imagination. You don't even know such basic knowledge," said the bald phantom.
"If you can talk, then talk more." Levi grabbed hard, and the bald phantom cried out in pain.
"I... I can't breathe..."
"Aren't you a spirit? Do you still need to breathe air?"
"But you're choking me with your Black Qi, and I really am suffocating."
After the ordeal, the bald phantom was barely breathing, but Levi didn't care and coldly said, "Give me the Meditation Technique, and you can continue to stay inside."
"According to the Principle of Equivalent Exchange, you have to provide me with corresponding consideration before I can give you the Meditation Technique ... Hey, don't kill me yet. This wasn't my decision; it was a rule imposed by the creator of this magical artifact. Don't blame me. I also wanted to give it to you for free to save my own life," the bald phantom said weakly and helplessly.
Levi stared at the bald, phantom figure, lost in thought.
Then he asked, "What kind of consideration do you need?"
"Only the power of the soul can maintain the normal operation of this magical artifact. Therefore, the creator of this magical artifact set the equivalent exchange price as the soul. The higher the level of life of the soul, the higher its value. The souls of some low-level life forms are useless."
"Can a human do it?"
"Ordinary people won't do; it has to be Knight- level, and the best is Great Knight. The soul of a Great Knight is enough to keep this magical artifact running for many years."
"What's the use of this artifact? Who created it? Don't lie to me; it won't do you any good. If you treat me sincerely, with my strength, maintaining this artifact shouldn't be a problem," Levi said.
"Can you let go of me first? I'm going to be strangled to death."
"No, if you say another word, I'll annihilate you completely."
"No, I'll tell you. My name is Tutan. This artifact is called the [Equivalent Exchange Pot]. It was made by a Formal Wizard of the Soul School. I was his Wizard Apprentice. He plotted against me and trapped me in this container, making me a spirit without desires and unable to do anything. Its purpose is to serve as an heirloom of his family in the secular world."
To prevent his family from becoming overly reliant on the artifact, he also established Principle of Equivalent Exchange, requiring members of his family to continuously hunt Knight from other families to maintain the artifact's operation.
Within this magical artifact are some of the important heritages that are important to secular families, including their family's Breathing Technique techniques, Secret Medicine, and other heritages that are helpful for Knight' training, and even a small portion of the heritages from the apprentice stage of Wizard Apprentice.
All his family disciples need to do is complete an equivalent exchange to obtain this inherited knowledge from the witch artifact. In this way, his family will have a foundation to make a living in the secular world. If someone with the aptitude of a witch appears, they may be able to embark on the Wizard's Path through the witch inheritance he left behind. He will personally guide his descendants into the Land of the Faithless.
However, man proposes, God disposes. He had meticulously planned so much, but after going to the Land of the Faithless, he never returned. Later, some members of his family became Wizard Apprentice, but they never saw him return. He most likely died in the wizarding world.
Later, his family also declined. Despite his meticulous planning and numerous contingency plans, his descendants were ultimately unreliable.
Ultimately, their family was wiped out by the Brotherhood of the Wilds, and the [Equivalent Exchange Pot] fell into the hands of the Brotherhood of the Wilds's Vice President. I disguised myself as Evil Spirit and tricked him, providing him with knowledge of Secret Medicine that could be used for Knight's breakthrough. At the same time, I made him hunt Knight for me, and I used the souls of the Knight to keep this magical artifact running.
Everything I said is true. I really do possess Wizard Meditation Technique. Please don't erase me from this story. Although I'm living a miserable life right now, at least I can indirectly possess a long life through this spirit-like method. Even though it's boring, I really don't want to die.
The bald, Tutan figure claiming to be Tutankhamun pleaded.
"What would happen if I chopped this Snuff Bottle into pieces or burned it?" Levi asked calmly, pointing his longsword at the Snuff Bottle in the Demon Shark's hand.
"No... I'll die if I do that, and it won't do you any good. I'm just a spirit, I can handle an ordinary Knight, but I'm no match for Great Knight."
"The bald, phantom-like figure said."
Levi was skeptical of his words, but he still temporarily gave up on killing him.
After all, the conditions offered by the other party were indeed very tempting.
"Wizard Meditation Technique"
This was something Levi had always dreamed of.
With this thing, Levi had one foot on the Wizard's Path.
"I can keep you around for now, but I hope you won't try anything funny with me."
"Now, tell me, if I need [Meditation Technique], how many Knight ' souls do I need to provide according to the principle of equivalent exchange?"
Levi said in a dangerous tone.
"The souls of the three Great Knight, the Meditation Technique is the most valuable item in the Equivalent Exchange Pot; the souls of ordinary Knight are not of sufficient quality," said the bald, muscular phantom.
"One would have been enough, but your Rune Seal made me lose too much power..." he muttered, sounding somewhat resentful and aggrieved.
"Yes, how can I offer you my soul?"
"You only need to take me with you and release me within seven minutes after killing the enemy. I will then absorb the enemy's soul to maintain the operation of this magical artifact."
"Alright, I hope you're not lying to me, otherwise you'll disappear from this world completely, and you won't even be qualified to become a spirit." After Levi finished speaking, he pointed to the Snuff Bottle.
"Now, go in by yourself. Come out again when we need you next time."
"Do you need me to tell you my Manifestation Incantation? That way next time you can just call me out without opening the lid..."
"No need, get back here right now."
Okay.
