Hell!
A two-year special campaign was launched.
Working day and night, burning the midnight oil.
Abundant resources and financial investment, as well as countless hours of hard work.
Levi finally mastered the most difficult magic array skill to cultivate, reaching the Fourth Ring! After reaching the Fourth Ring, he kept thinking about how to upgrade and iterate this Third Ring magic array based on the [Glory of the Four Kings], and promote it to the Fourth Ring magic array.
After all, this magic array had taken a lot of his time and effort to create, and it would be a great pity to abandon it and replace it with a new Fourth Ring magic array.
Since our predecessors were able to create Fourth Ring magic array.
Levi himself is Fourth Ring magic array wizard, so upgrading his third-ring magic array to Fourth Ring- Third Ring one is not impossible! His plan is to add magic arrays based on the three mutated elements of Thunder, Frost, and metal, in addition to the four kings of Earth-Fire Wind-Water, and water, so that the new seven kings can be perfectly integrated.
After this idea emerged, Levi began to conduct research and experiments like crazy.
During this period, nearly Little Hundred Great Stone were spent, enough to buy a top-grade Fourth Ring witch artifact.
Such an investment is unthinkable for most Fourth Ring Wizard.
In other words, Levi had enough financial resources to support his idea.
In addition, his extensive theoretical knowledge and practical experience in magic arrays enabled him to achieve this goal.
The Seven Kings' Hell! This represents the highest level of magic array Levi has achieved at this stage.
First Ring can be used as a simple Fourth Ring magic array, and the seven Fourth Ring magic arrays can be linked together. The power of this is terrifying to Levi.
Let alone Fourth Ring Wizard, even if that Fifth Ring Crypt Wizard from last time came to break in again, Levi wouldn't need to lift a finger.
This magic array can destroy it!
That's Levi's confidence!
Apart from Levi, most other wizards in the Wizard World practice a single school of thought.
Whether it's the Combustion Faction or the Ocean Faction.
Regardless of which faction of wizards they belong to, they have all come to this Seven Kings' Hell.
There's always a "Hell" that can restrain him.
The interaction of elements, including mutual generation and mutual restraint, is applied to the extreme here.
The seven Hell are:
Rolling Stone Hell, Fire Sea Hell, Wind Blade Hell, Dead Sea Hell, Frost Hell, Thunder Hell, Knife Mountain Hell! Their names and designs are inspired by the eighteen levels of Hell culture from Levi's previous life.
He felt that in the future, as his knowledge of magic arrays improved...
There is still room for improvement in these Seven Kings' Hell.
Sooner or later, he will transform the legendary eighteen levels of Hell from his previous life into his own gatekeeping formation.
Want to steal my house? Then you'll have to go through Hell first!
"Moreover, if I encounter Fifth Ring wizard whom I cannot defeat in the future, I can lure them into this Seven Kings Hell and use the power of the magic array. I believe that even a true Fifth Ring can be fought!"
Levi was very confident.
This magic array is too powerful; it's practically a winning formula for overcoming the strong with the weak! "However, the current Seven Kings' Hell still has some areas that need improvement. The key positions of the seven Hell require seven corresponding guardians to preside over the array and make it even more powerful! Thorn Hell has Bo Gang, Fire Sea Hell Poison Fire Corpse Demon, and the other five Hell are still missing five guardians. We'll collect them slowly in the future."
Extraordinary beings like Laja are certainly capable of serving as guardians.
However, these items were related to his Knight's Secret Medicine, and if they were killed or captured by the enemy, he would suffer a great loss.
Even if the magic circle is gone, Levi can rebuild it.
Laja is gone... so he may not be able to find a replacement for a long time.
This matter requires careful consideration.
"The magic circle guardian is just icing on the cake, not a necessity. Its current power is already sufficient."
The most useful guardians are actually the Fourth Ring Wizard from various factions. It's frustrating that I don't have enough Scarlet Contract slots...
If all else fails, I can use the Oath Sword to capture a few laborers later. I'm now Fourth Ring wizard, and with a contract with Fourth Ring Wizard, I shouldn't suffer any backlash."
Back to the Emperor Palace.
Levi did not rest.
In his secret chamber stood a tall and imposing figure in crimson blood.
The figure's face was obscured, and it was covered in scarlet scales formed from congealed blood.
On its back, elbows, and head, there are hideous blood spikes protruding.
On his back, he carried a blood-red bow and a blood-red greatsword! These were corpse demons that Levi had modified and refined himself, taking several years to complete.
The raw materials came from an Ancient Saint, but have since been completely altered.
He called it the "Blood Armor Corpse Demon".
Because it was forged from the body of Ancient Saint, the Blood Armor Corpse Demon's defensive capabilities are superior to those of the Poison Fire Corpse Demon.
However, compared to the Poison Fire Corpse Demon, it lacks the ability of poison fire.
However, the three blood artifacts that Levi refined into it compensated for its lack of attack methods! The spikes on the surface of the Blood Armor Corpse Demon are Blood Restriction Cone, which can be launched outwards.
The Moonlight Greatsword on his back is a melee attack weapon.
Blood Feather Bow, for ranged attacks.
These three blood weapons were constantly devouring blood and causing carnage on Levi's side, and they were already at the peak of the third-level blood weapons.
If there were remains of level four Blood Clan, once Levi's weapon refining reached the Fourth Ring, he was even confident that he could re-refine these blood weapons and advance them to level four.
In that way, the Blood Armor Corpse Demon's attack power can be further enhanced.
Levi went to great lengths to refine this external object.
Actually, it was also in preparation for entering the Dark Ancient Tower.
These inanimate puppets are allowed to be brought in.
Of course, the thing that controls the undead, like Gilmore, cannot be brought in. However, the most crucial element of the undead is this physical body.
Once the bodies are inside, Levi can find a way to make them move within the Dark Ancient Tower.
"Next, to control this Blood Armor Corpse Demon, we need to refine a spirit-type undead creature into it, making it the corpse demon's... soul!"
Otherwise, the corpse demon would not be able to act on its own.
Fortunately, Levi had already made preparations for summoning Hell creatures.
A long time ago, he specifically learned a summoning spell from the Hell School for this purpose.
With his current strength, summoning undead from the Fourth Ring of Hell shouldn't be a problem.
Summon it, capture it alive, and refine it into the corpse demon's body.
"However, this is my first time summoning a Hell creature, so I need to make some preparations to avoid any unexpected situations."
He found a deserted valley and began setting up a magic array inside.
"Fourth Ring Magic Array - Demon's Cage. A small magic array, easy to set up and portable. It is a control-type magic array, originally developed for the Blood War against the Abyss. Capturing those Hell creatures is no problem."
This magic circle was one of the few Fourth Ring magic circles he possessed, and it was also one of his trump cards for entering the Dark Ancient Tower later.
This small-scale magic array is certainly not as powerful as a giant magic array like the Seven Kings' Hell. That kind of giant magic array can only operate by relying on the elemental power that is free in the world; otherwise, relying on the Great Stone would consume an extremely large amount of energy. Therefore, it has requirements for the terrain and environment.
The Demon Prison Cage, on the other hand, can be quickly deployed during combat.
Moreover, it only requires the consumption of Great Stone to operate.
After setting up the magic circle, Levi had Miraya, Laja, Phoenix, and the Body Refining Avatar - Golden Wizard Poison Body all take up positions in the four directions of the magic circle.
This kind of display certainly gave the other party a lot of face.
"Fourth Ring Spell: Summon Undead! This spell allows you to communicate with a necromancer from the first four levels of Hell. If there is a mutual choice, the necromancer can become the necromancer companion of a sorcerer of the Death School and fight for him. The sorcerer, in turn, needs to provide a corresponding price."
Otherwise, at best the next summoning won't succeed; at worst, some stubborn undead from Hell will turn against the wizard.
In short, you can't get something for nothing.
"Nine Hells, each corresponding to First Ring in the wizard's chain. The deeper you go, the stronger the Hell creatures become. My spell won't affect Hell Fourth Layer, so it should be safe..."
Legend has it that at the very bottom of the Nine Hells, there is a legendary Tenth Layer, the deepest part of Hell.
It is also the entrance to the "Underworld," which is comparable to the Astral Realm.
Location of the "Gate of the Underworld".
The entrance is guarded by Underworld Gatekeeper comparable to the gods.
From a common sense perspective...
Whether they are wizards, mortals, or other beings from multiple dimensions.
After death, except for a very few souls that are guided by the gods to the kingdom of the gods.
The other souls will descend along the Nine Hells, passing through the "Gate of the Underworld" and entering the "Nether Mother River," which governs reincarnation and death! In the Mother River, all the memories of this life in the souls will be washed away by the river water.
A brand new True Spirit is born and randomly reincarnated into multiple dimensions.
This is a rule that is just like the laws of nature.
The Underworld is mostly neutral and objective, and it does not get involved in any conflicts.
Therefore, it is extremely mysterious, and wizards have very limited understanding of it.
After all, aside from the dead... wizards have a hard time getting into the Underworld.
"Let's begin. If there's any potential danger, immediately stop the summoning. Summoning spells have been tested by the Wizard Civilization for so long, there shouldn't be any unexpected problems!"
After everything is ready
Levi chanted the incantation.
Then he closed his eyes.
The Fourth Layer of Hell.
Four pale suns hung in the sky, exuding an aura of death.
On the earth, bizarre and grotesque Hell spirits lurk.
The undead in Hell primarily feed on the death energy that roams freely in Hell, which is also a form of negative energy.
If they're lucky, they can also prey on souls Lost in Hell.
A battle is unfolding in the wilderness.
A Undead Knight, riding Skeleton Warhorse, led a group of skeletal minions, including skeleton swordsmen and skeleton archers, in a fierce battle against a dragon with a wingspan of tens of meters, covered in rotting, stinking flesh.
Both the Undead Knight and the Rotten Wyvern are powerful Third Ring creatures.
The monsters on the Fourth Layer are also elite monsters.
And on the plain not far away, there is a castle.
Inside the castle, there was a motley crew of undead. The Undead Knight from before looked to be one of them.
On the battlements, a "Barbed Devil," dressed in noble attire, entirely black, with goat horns and a scorpion tail, was watching the distant battle with great interest.
As the demon lord of this [Black Sand Ridge].
Earl of Sha Lin's daily pleasure was watching his men fight those foolish undead creatures, letting these lowly undead kill each other.
The inhabitants of Hell are divided into two types.
One type is undead creatures, such as undead skeletons, ghostly necromancers, and so on. Undead Knight and rotting dragons belong to this category; they are the main force of summoned creatures by the Death School.
Among the souls from various dimensions who are sent to Hell and the Underworld, some will stay in the Hell Plane due to special circumstances. By chance, they become "Hell spirits." Over time, the number of spirits has increased and they are now spread throughout Hell.
Another type is the nobles of Hell, the true natives, and the administrators of the Nine Hells: they are devils! The first and second levels of Hell are ruled by lesser devils.
The third to fifth floors are occupied by the Demon Lords, who are further divided into Baron, Earls, and Dukes.
After the sixth level, one reaches the Grand Duke, comparable to Primal Soul Wizard, and is extremely dangerous.
Unlike the chaotic and disorderly demons who only know how to destroy.
Demons are inherently evil, yet they abide by what they perceive as order and rules.
They are cunning, insidious, and adept at bewitching people. They like to use this method to gradually corrupt a kind person, especially some... respectable women.
The first law of summoning spells in the Death School: "Never attempt to summon a demon, or to make a pact with a demon! Not even a seemingly harmless little demon!"
In the passageway of Earl of Sha Lin's castle.
The walls were covered with colorful oil paintings, each depicting a beautiful woman with a different appearance. Some were speaking, while others were combing their hair, creating a very eerie atmosphere. These were the "Paintings of the Dead" collected by the Earl.
At the end of the corridor, in a pink boudoir, a female necromancer dressed in palace attire, exuding a mature charm and elegance, was dressing up and looking in the mirror.
Judging from her aura, she's at least at the Fourth Ring level.
This is Earl of Sha Lin's wife, whose catchphrase is "How boring!" Earl of Sha Lin's men secretly call her "Bored Mistress."
Bored Mistress.
He was once an ordinary undead lord on the Fourth Layer.
She was later taken in by Earl of Sha Lin, who captured her and made her his wife.
Many of the Fourth Layer demon lords knew that although Earl of Sha Lin was treacherous and cunning, he genuinely loved this lowly undead creature.
The lady gently stroked her ethereal, spiritual face with her delicate hand.
Pale, bloodless, and reeking of decay.
If a wizard with high mental strength looked at it, the person in the mirror would not see a beautiful woman at all.
Instead, it was a female corpse with drooping eyeballs that had fallen out of their sockets, its entire body red, like a skinned corpse... but it looked to have a pretty good figure.
"I'm so bored."
The lady loosened the sash that bound her skirt, and suddenly looked in the mirror and sighed, her voice mournful.
"Then why not make it my summoned creature?" Just then, a steady voice rang in her mind.
"Are you a wizard?" the lady asked. As Fourth Ring undead creature, her intelligence was no different from that of ordinary people. She also knew that many undead would make contracts with wizards, and some would never return...
"That's right, you're very smart," the magnetic voice continued.
"But I have a husband. If Earl of Sha Lin finds out, he will be angry. He never allows me to leave the castle, nor does he allow me to sign a contract with a wizard. He says that wizards are despicable and cunning, and in terms of evil, even the devil is ashamed of himself!" the lady said.
"I only summon you occasionally to fight for me... After it's over, you can come back here, and I don't think Earl of Sha Lin will find out."
In return, I will bestow upon you the most delicious soul crystals. For you Hell creatures, I believe this price already demonstrates my sincerity... There may be evil wizards in this world, but I am not." The voice said, filled with an alluring aura.
"Hmm... that sounds really good. I also want to go out and see the world."
The lady was somewhat tempted.
Souls are the food that she and most undead creatures crave most.
The more and higher the quality of the souls they devour, the faster their strength increases.
Earl of Sha Lin was extremely controlling. In order to control her power, he never provided her with a soul, fearing that his wife would become like a wild horse that could never be pulled back.
"Well, madam? Would you be willing to become my summoned creature? My time is limited."
The lady got up and slowly opened the window.
Her husband, Earl of Sha Lin, has left the castle.
It looks like he's gone to a gathering with other demon lords.
The lady also wanted to participate, but the count refused her every time.
The count said this was a gathering of the upper-class demons, and it was inappropriate for an ordinary undead creature like you to go. You should just stay at home and wait for me to return.
She was dissatisfied, but dared not say it.
Without Earl of Sha Lin, on this Fourth Layer, she might have been captured by other demon lords and used as a laborer, or devoured by other powerful undead creatures.
In a strange space.
Levi stared intently at the hideous, grotesque female undead in the castle.
"It's a strange feeling, as if she and I are in different dimensions, yet we can communicate. The summoning time is almost up, and if this woman doesn't agree, my summoning will fail..."
The summoning spell allows Levi's consciousness to randomly descend to a specific area on a certain level; this is beyond his control.
Once the summoning is successful and a contract is signed, the wizard can Summon Undead creatures to fight at any time without having to go through all this trouble.
This Fourth Ring Summon Undead has only one contract slot.
During this time, Levi's consciousness searched for the nearest spirit in this magical space. If he didn't actively communicate with them, those spirits wouldn't discover him.
"The Fourth Ring creatures in this area are mostly bone dragons and skeleton Knight; there aren't many spirit creatures. I hope we can succeed on our first try."
Inside the castle, the lady watched the count's disappearing figure and recalled the wizard's words.
"Perhaps it's time for me to experience a new life. As long as I return to the castle before the Earl comes back, he won't find out. He rarely cares what I really want to do..."
This thought came to mind.
The lady gazed into the void, her eyes filled with a distant, wistful light, a hint of expectation in them.
"I'm willing... Take me with you, shouldn't we sign some kind of contract?"
In the void, a blood-red six-pointed star magic circle appeared.
"Undead! Fight for me, and I will provide you with enough souls as a price!" the wizard said calmly.
"OK."
The next moment, the six-pointed star shone brightly.
A suction force came from it.
This day.
The lady left the quiet castle, intending to pursue an exciting life. That way, people wouldn't call her "the Bored Mistress" anymore.
But she didn't know that this departure would be forever...
A six-pointed star array appeared in the void before Levi's eyes.
A phantom spirit, emanating the aura of the Fourth Ring, appeared.
Who is summoning me?
The lady asked, her face full of anticipation.
"It's me."
Before the lady stood a tall, imposing human man, even stronger than Earl of Sha Lin. He wore a sorcerer's robe and had a calm expression.
"Not quite the wizard I imagined..." the lady said with amusement, unaware of the seriousness of the matter.
The man smiled, clapped his hands, and then the magic array shone brightly, enveloping the lady within it.
"What... what are you doing?"
"Don't worry, Madam, I will keep the contract. I won't kill you. I just don't want you to go back to that boring life. But so be it! Don't think about that count anymore. Follow me, and you'll have a bright future!"
Crimson flames erupted from that massive body!
A God of War, entwined with Golden Snake and with his cloak billowing, came wielding a sword!
At the same time, a series of auras that made Madam wary surged in from all directions.
Miraya, Laja, Phoenix...
With Levi's thorough preparation, the bewildered lady was directly pinned to the ground.
Her spirit struggled incessantly. Levi, his large hand swirling with blood energy, seized her.
As usual, Levi had to check for any tracking marks, lest he be targeted by that devilish count.
Upon inspection, Levi discovered that it was indeed true; he had infiltrated the spirit body with blood mist particles.
The illusory lady had a strange expression. After Levi entered her body, her spiritual body turned red, and her face became extremely red.
It's unclear whether it was from being stained red by the blood mist or from her own shyness.
After much effort, Levi discovered a phantom soul imprint of a scorpion-tailed, ram-horned demon pattern within the spirit body.
Hell demons typically brand their lowly Hell creatures with this mark to indicate which lord's property they belong to, serving as a symbol of ownership.
"The Barbed Demon... This count's bloodline is quite noble; I'll have to be more careful in the future."
Levi released the other Holy Armor Scorpion from Alice's Ring, letting them try to devour the mark.
The demonic pattern opened its mouth and let out a ferocious howl, causing some of the Holy Armor Scorpion to die instantly.
However, as more and more Holy Armor Scorpion swarmed in, it was gradually devoured.
"It's alright. I'll be relying on you guys while Leon is asleep."
Levi put the plump, Holy Armor Scorpion back in its place.
After the soul imprint disappeared, the lady felt that some kind of shackles that had bound her body had suddenly vanished.
At this moment, she was like a wild horse galloping across the lush green grassland, and she was not so resistant to Levi's actions anymore!
She lay quietly on the ground, no longer struggling.
Take this opportunity.
The Blood Armor Corpse Demon was released by Levi, and a strange blood-red magic circle shone brightly on it.
Levi recited the final incantation for the corpse demon's creation.
"The Souls have returned!"
A tremendous suction force emanated from the Blood Armor Corpse Demon.
Immediately afterwards, the lady transformed into a crimson ray of light and surged into it.
Levi immediately began refining it.
afterwards.
The Blood Armor Corpse Demon lying on the ground suddenly stood up.
"What's going on? Where am I? Who am I?"
"You are the Blood Mistress, my servant," Levi said calmly.
Authentic corpse demons are all made in this way, with the final step using a spirit-like Hell undead as its soul. Of course, this is not very friendly to the undead.
"Blood Mistress... I am Blood Mistress!"
As the Blood Armor Corpse Demon murmured, its form shifted, and its bones crackled.
Then, a female corpse demon, entirely crimson, with a slender, curvaceous figure, blood-spikes covering her chest and back, wielding a blood-red greatsword and carrying a longbow, knelt before Levi.
"Owner!"
Levi dismissed Blood Mistress.
This Blood Armor Corpse Demon has now been completely successfully refined.
He turned and left the Emperor Palace, flying towards the Mortal World.
The Fourth Layer of Hell.
Blood Forest Ridge.
The trees here are blood red, like bloody arms.
Deep in the forest, there is a blood-red lake.
In the middle of the lake, a towering, rugged castle stands a hundred feet high.
This is the castle of the Duke of Blood Lake, the most powerful demon in this region, equivalent to Fifth Ring wizard.
Generally speaking, demons of this level should be in the deeper parts of Hell, but some always remain in the upper levels for various reasons.
Inside the castle hall.
The Duke of Blood Lake is hosting a devil's feast.
On the long table, all sorts of delicacies were laid out: steamed human brain, wine made from vengeful spirits, pan-fried eyeballs, and braised intestines...
Earl of Sha Lin sat to one side, chatting and laughing with the other counts.
Duke of Blood Lake is a demon who is over five meters tall, with a ferocious pig's head and exposed fangs.
After slurping up the large intestine and drinking some bloody wine, he said, "Everyone, I've invited you all here not just to enjoy the delicious food, as you all know."
The Nora Plane, the world where the wizards reside, has already intersected with the Blue Frost Plane, and the army of the Lord of Blue Frost has begun to infiltrate Nora.
Now, some of the Archdemon deep in Hell can no longer sit still and want to send some people to the Mortal World to participate in this gluttonous feast.
"Fortunately, I, the Duke, have been chosen. I have struck a deal with a Fifth Ring wizard of the Death School; she will use magic to summon us to the Mortal World. I wonder, among you, is there anyone willing to accompany me?"
After the Duke of Blood Lake finished speaking, he looked at the counts.
"Your Grace, our demonic bodies are different from those lowly undead; we can't stay away from Hell for too long. How can we solve this?" Earl of Red Fang asked.
"Don't worry, according to the terms of my deal with that Fifth Ring wizard, she needs to prepare the corresponding [Mortal World host] for us as the vessel for our descent."
"Those frail human bodies, as Mortal World hosts, mean we can't fully unleash our power," Earl of Sha Lin said.
"She will try her best to select the Mortal World of Knight who mainly focus on body refinement and some Body Refinement Wizard in the human world to create containers for our demon army. In this way, although our strength is still not as good as in Hell, it will not be too much different."
Gentlemen, we are devils, unlike those simple-minded demons. With your abilities, you would be like fish in water in Nora.
"Right now, the wizards Nora are all in the Warp. We are heading to the mortal Mortal World. Apart from the Church and a few wizards, no one is our match," Duke of Blood Lake said confidently.
"I see." Earl of Sha Lin said thoughtfully. "However, as we all know, the two most despicable and cunning groups in the multiverse are the devils and the wizards... I'm worried that the Fifth Ring wizard's deal with us is not only detrimental to us, but also a scheme."
"Indeed, wizards are too cunning, especially those wizards of the Death School. They often trick the lowly undead in my territory into doing hard labor for them, and we can't do anything about it!" Earl of Red Fang complained.
"Don't worry, I have a plan," Duke of Blood Lake said with a smile, confident in his abilities.
"Now, everyone, let's make our decision. Those who want to come with me, raise your hands. Those who don't..." Duke of Blood Lake's voice gradually turned cold, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"I'll go," said Earl of Red Fang.
"I... I'll go too!"
The other earls readily agreed; how could they dare not go? Only Earl of Sha Lin looked somewhat hesitant.
He was different from the other earls; he was of noble status and powerful, making him the number one among the earls attending the banquet!
He is the son of a Archdemon on the sixth floor!
Therefore, he was not particularly afraid of even the Duke of Blood Lake.
Suddenly, one of his men sent him a message.
After reading the message, Earl of Sha Lin's face darkened.
He looked at the Duke of Blood Lake and said slowly, "I'll go too."
Upon hearing that Sha Lin was also going, the Duke of Blood Lake couldn't help but applaud.
"As expected of the Red-haired Archduke's son, this journey to the Mortal World will surely bring us a bountiful harvest, reaping countless delicious souls. You too can become a duke soon, leave this godforsaken Fourth Layer, and return to the Duke's side!"
Because he had something on his mind, Earl of Sha Lin remained absent-minded throughout the subsequent banquet.
He hurried back to Black Sand Ridge and entered the castle.
"Where is Madam?" he asked in a cold voice.
"My lord... Madam, Madam is missing," a Third Ring undead maidservant said in a trembling voice.
"So many of you? And you couldn't even keep an eye on one person? Has anyone come to the castle since I left?" the count demanded.
"No... absolutely not!" On the city wall, undead appeared, their faces filled with fear.
"On this Fourth Layer, apart from the dukes and a very small number of undead lords, no one can sneak into my castle without a sound."
Just as I suspected, there's only one possibility for the lady's disappearance! That damned wizard!
Normally, after a wizard summons an undead, the undead will return to the Hell Plane on its own.
Therefore, the lady should not have disappeared for so long.
"In this situation, it must be the witch doctor over there playing tricks, forcibly detaining the lady! However, judging from the Soul Tablet she left behind, she is not dead yet... She must have been imprisoned by the witch doctor. I have planted a soul mark on her, so when I go to the Mortal World, I can sense her location through the mark... At that time, I will let that witch doctor know how foolish it is to steal the devil's private property!"
Twilight Temple.
Levi's figure appeared here.
With a slight sense, he discovered that Andrew was reading a book inside the Knowledge Temple. The table was covered with dense notes.
When Andrew finished reading the book and left the Temple, he saw the commander waiting there. He immediately stood up straight and greeted him!
"Not bad, in just two or three years you've already become Intermediate Wizard Apprentice... It seems your training hasn't fallen behind," Levi said with a smile.
"Thanks entirely to the leader's support, after becoming a wizard, with the growth of my mental strength, I feel that my mind is more acute and active than before. No wonder wizards are so powerful," Andrew said.
"How is the progress of the Bloodline Avatar?" Levi asked.
"I've already reached the peak of the second level of cultivation, and I can now separate my Blood Qi Separation. The next step is to condense my Bloodline Avatar." Andrew was as serious as a student reporting on their homework.
Levi casually picked out a First Ring witch artifact from his Storage Bag.
"With your strength, you can barely use First Ring magical artifact. Take it for self-defense. Remember, only by staying alive can anything be possible," he said meaningfully.
"Thank you, Commander... but I have no price to offer in return," Andrew said, flattered.
"The price is to become Legendary Knight or Formal Wizard as soon as possible. I have high hopes for you, young man!" Levi patted Andrew on the shoulder and turned to leave.
In the training grounds of the Five Colors Hall, Denise is sparring with Dinos in combat techniques.
Denise's five-colored blood aura was dazzling and brilliant, while Dinos's golden blood aura was majestic and imposing! In the end, Dinos was the one who came out on top.
"Just a little bit more, and I'll be able to achieve Bloodthirst Perfection..." Dinos sighed.
"There's no need to rush," Levi's voice came.
"Greetings, Commander!" the two said in unison.
"Have you found any promising talents over the years?" Levi asked.
"We found one with dual elemental affinity, and he's a Great Knight at that. The other prospects are just not good enough," Dinos said.
"These exceptional talents should be given special training. Also, secretly take care of Andrew. His talent must not be wasted. He will be of great use to our Temple when he grows up!" Levi said.
"Clear!"
Leave the Twilight Temple.
Levi was in a good mood.
The Mortal World has been in chaos these past few years, but the Temple has been able to remain largely uninvolved.
Because the Temple's main policy at this stage is to recuperate and develop quietly, and never participate in any conflicts.
Once the core members, including the Black Knight, have advanced to Blood Origin Knight, they can gradually begin to take center stage.
He flew towards the mainland, where the Rose Witch, whom he hadn't contacted in a long time, needed to speak with him.
The Peacock Kingdom.
A small seaside town.
Inside a private room at the Shining Tavern.
Levi met the Rose Witch.
After many years, she still looks the same, though she appears slightly haggard.
"It's good to see you're still alive..." said the Rose Witch.
"What's wrong, ma'am?"
Do you remember Aoluofu?
"I remember that Fourth Ring magic array wizard, he was a really nice guy."
Levi said.
Aoluofu had tried to stop Ba'erzan from killing him, but Ba'erzan managed to scare him off by using the power behind him.
Even so, he was still somewhat grateful to the old man; it was already commendable that he had stood up for him.
"Aoluofu is dead. I sent him a message before, but he never replied. Later, I went to his secluded place and found traces of a magical duel. Aoluofu should be dead because his opponent was very likely a Fifth Ring wizard."
"Aoluofu is a good man, who is so cruel?" Levi looked puzzled, but he already had a guess in his heart.
"I think it must be the powerful backer behind Ba'erzan, the Fifth Ring wizard of the Soul Reaping Tower, Ghost Mistress!"
Why did she kill Aoluofu? What was her motive?
"Ba'erzan is dead. She's been searching for clues, and it looks like she's turned to Aoluofu."
The Rose Witch looked at Levi, Levi seemed surprised, as if he truly didn't know.
"Ba'erzan is dead too?"
"Yes."
The Rose Witch's eyes flickered slightly, and she sighed inwardly. She knew that Ba'erzan had been killed by Levi.
Levi was no ordinary Rogue Wizard.
After the Wizard World and the Mortal World were connected, she made contact with the other sisters.
It was only then that they discovered Levi was an outside wizard from the House of Witches, possessing great strength, and was even favored by Triss, the Vice President of the Potion Makers' Association!
Triss's status and position surpass even those of the Flower Witch.
The Rose Witch naturally understood what it meant to be valued by Triss.
After thinking for a moment, the Rose Witch said, "I estimate that the old woman, Ghost Mistress, already knows who killed Ba'erzan and may have already started to take action. This woman is extremely vicious and has the Ghost Tower backing her up, so she is becoming more and more unscrupulous."
"Madam, you didn't call me here just for idle chatter, did you?" Levi said.
"You're Fourth Ring Wizard now, aren't you?"
"Yes."
"Mortal World, apart from a very few the Church saints and Fifth Ring wizards like me who are hiding, there should be no one who can rival you."
"That's not how you put it. I've heard a saying: 'There are always mountains beyond mountains and buildings beyond buildings, and there are always stronger hands among the strong.' I've only just entered the Fourth Ring, and my realm isn't very stable yet, so how can I claim to be invincible below the Fifth Ring?"
"The House of Witches wants to establish Wizard Tower in the Mortal World. I am a member of the Sword Flower Oath Tower and also a member of the House of Witches. The Witch has asked me to take charge of the overall situation, and I would like to ask you to be my assistant. As a reward, the Shining Tavern has been rooted in the Mortal World for hundreds of years since its establishment, and you can use all its intelligence networks. You can come and be the deputy tower master," said the Rose Witch.
Levi's heart stirred slightly. The Shining Tavern was spread Mortal World, and its roots were probably not much different from those of the Church.
Especially in terms of intelligence, they are unmatched.
If we can freely use this intelligence network, it will be extremely beneficial to ourselves and the future development of the Twilight Temple!
After thinking for a moment, Levi said, "As a member of the House of Witches, I agree to your request, madam. If you need help, I will not refuse within my power. As for things beyond my power, I'm afraid I can't help you... However, there's no need for me to become the deputy tower master. It's not appropriate for a male witch like me to become the deputy tower master."
"Yes, I trust the Primal Soul Wizard's judgment, and I trust you too. I wish us a pleasant collaboration!" The Rose Witch raised a glass of Hundred Flower Fine Brew. "And I wish your future wife to be as beautiful as the Hundred Flower Knight!" she smiled.
Levi's memory seemed to be pulled back to the past, to that tavern in the Tuva Empire, where the descendant of the Mellon Family, the old man who had avenged his great enemy, had also said these words to him. These were the toasts to the Hundred Flower Fine Brew!
"The Hundred Flower Knight..." Levi murmured to himself.
As she was leaving, the Rose Witch called out to Levi. She paused and hesitated before saying, "I am Fifth Ring wizard from the House of Witches. If I were to fight against Ghost Mistress, it might lead to a war between the two towers... Be careful. As an outsider wizard, even if you are killed in a vendetta, the House of Witches won't care. However, you have the connection with Lady Triss, so you can use it flexibly and don't have to push yourself too hard."
A beam of light landed in Levi's palm. He looked at it and saw that it contained all the information about Ghost Mistress.
He smiled and put away the intelligence, "Thank you, ma'am. Don't worry, Levi life... is tough!"
He left the tavern and walked down the street.
"Since the other party may know that I am the murderer, I cannot take any chances. Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance that I will be harmed, I must nip it in the bud!"
To prevent himself from being harmed, Levi decides: strike first! 10,300 words today, plus 4,000 extra words, 108,000 words owed remaining.
