Extreme Frost Wolf! The Second Seed of Life (Seeking Follow-up Reads)
"Boar Knight?"
"That's right. When Old Toby was taken by the Boar Gang, I specifically investigated him, so I shouldn't have mistaken him. I didn't expect him to still dare appear so openly in Icewind City after joining the Brotherhood of the Wilds," Knight Fred said.
Levi was also surprised. He hadn't expected to sell weapons to a potential enemy of his own.
After all, Boar Knight had taken Old Toby. Levi had always wanted to settle that score.
"Boar Knight didn't recognize you, did he?" Levi asked.
"No. We were all wearing masks, and when I saw from afar that it might be Boar Knight, I had our Militia go trade with him instead," Knight Fred said.
After all, he was someone who had made a name for himself as the Dawn Swordsman. If he met Boar Knight directly, even with a mask on, there was a small chance he might be recognized. On this point, Knight Fred was still very cautious.
"Should we still trade our armor with Boar Knight in the future?" Knight Fred asked hesitantly.
After thinking for a moment, Levi said, "Although Boar Knight is my enemy, he's still quite straightforward when it comes to paying. For now, don't alert him. Keep the trade going first. Once we find a better opportunity, we'll turn on him."
"Then should we tamper with the armor we sell? For example, make some armor that looks no different on the outside but has quality problems, then sell it to Boar Knight? Otherwise, wouldn't this kind of trade strengthen the enemy?" Knight Fred asked again.
"No need. Boar Knight is a Formal Blacksmith himself. If I tampered with it, there's a high chance he'd discover it and become suspicious. As for strengthening the enemy, there's no need to worry too much about that. After the Boar Gang joined the Brotherhood of the Wilds, the enemies they have to face aren't us, but the Church, the Kingdom, and the entire noble ruling class."
"With the Boar Gang's size, they couldn't possibly swallow so many weapons and pieces of equipment themselves. He's most likely preparing them for the Brotherhood of the Wilds. I thought so. Back then, the moment Boar Knight met me, he invited me to join some mysterious organization. Most likely, he wanted to pull me in to forge armor for them."
"In short, we're not the Boar Gang's target at all. The little bit of weapons and equipment we sell to the Boar Gang is nothing more than a drop in the bucket to the Brotherhood of the Wilds."
"In that case, we might as well let things take their course and earn the Brotherhood of the Wilds' money for now. When the right opportunity comes—say, the day those rebels in the Brotherhood of the Wilds rise up—we'll fish in troubled waters and snatch back Old Toby and everything we sold to the Boar Gang!"
"The money we earn can count as the compensation the Boar Gang paid us for taking Old Toby."
Levi sneered.
The thing Levi lacked least was patience.
With the Proficiency Panel, his cultivation speed far surpassed the ordinary.
As time passed, the gap in strength between Levi and the others in this world would only grow wider and wider.
The Boar Gang, the Black Mountain Duke—none of them mattered.
Once he became a Legendary Knight, whether through his personal strength or the follower forces gathered by the powerful personal appeal of a Legendary Knight, he could wipe them all out.
Levi was only fifteen years old now.
Time would always be on Levi's side.
Blackwater Valley.
Black Snake Castle.
Holy Radiance Calendar, year 1007, Month of Origin.
Three months after the assassination incident, Levi finally finished building his Sanctuary inside the castle.
Strictly speaking, the Sanctuary was not inside the castle, but within the mountains behind the castle. A tunnel connected it to the castle, leading straight to the first underground floor of Levi's castle, to the hidden chamber where the Black Snake Breathing Technique was kept.
This Sanctuary was not large, only twenty square meters. It had basically all been dug out bit by bit by Levi himself. For the sake of secrecy and safety, he had not even let the Serfs help. To dig this thing, he had used the Golden Cross Slash no small number of times.
The only one who knew he was busy with this was Knight Fred.
That left Knight Fred torn between laughter and tears.
Inside Levi's Sanctuary, quite a lot of dried meat, grain, pure water... had been stockpiled. It looked every bit like a doomsday shelter.
The cramped space of the Sanctuary instead gave Levi a sense of security. It was much the same as when he had hidden under the covers as a child and felt as if ten thousand ghosts could not touch him.
On the floor of the Sanctuary, Levi was bare-chested, cultivating his breathing technique.
Suddenly, Levi opened his eyes. His gaze was like lightning as he breathed out a mouthful of white mist. The white mist shot out like an arrow for over ten feet. He stood up, his bones crackling, and revealed a satisfied smile.
He ate some food and replenished some nutrition.
His whole aura seemed somewhat stronger than it had been three months ago. His muscles were even more perfect and well-proportioned. Even Schwarzenegger from his previous life paled in comparison before his perfect body.
His skin was a faint bronze, completely out of place with normal whiteness. His height was already close to one meter ninety. His arms might be about as thick as many adult men's thighs. The power contained within them could well be imagined.
It was hard to imagine that he was still only a sixteen-year-old child.
This mighty, majestic, incomparably masculine appearance left Levi very satisfied. This was what a man should be. Those pretty-boy physiques with arms like bamboo poles—what kind of men were those?
Aside from digging the tunnel and building the Sanctuary,
during these three months, Levi had not fallen behind in his cultivation. In particular, the Golden Cross Slash skill, which he had used as a cave-digging and stone-breaking skill, had risen crazily in proficiency. In three months, it had increased by four thousand proficiency points. The twenty-thousand-point progress bar had moved one-fifth of the way in just three short months.
As for the Black Snake Breathing Technique, because it had the support of the Black Snake Secret Medicine, it had also increased by five thousand proficiency points. At this speed, as long as the Black Snake Secret Medicine was guaranteed, Levi could raise the Black Snake Breathing Technique to the Fifth Order by the end of this year and become a Mid-Rank Knight.
However, Levi had already used up the Black Snake Secret Medicine. If he wanted to improve quickly, he had to find a way to get Ambergris.
So he decided to end his seclusion and leave home again, finding a way to obtain a large amount of Ambergris all at once.
Aside from the Black Snake Breathing Technique, the improvement of the Frost Wolf Breathing Technique was even more Swift.
The reason Levi's aura was now so much stronger than before was that his Frost Wolf Breathing Technique had also just broken through to the Fourth Order.
With the foundation and base of the Black Snake Breathing Technique, plus a large supply of secret medicine, condensing another Seed of Life was extremely easy for Levi. On top of that, the Frost Wolf Breathing Technique was originally only a shallow-level technique. The difficulty of cultivating this breathing technique was on a completely different level compared to the Black Snake Breathing Technique.
All these conditions combined led to Levi taking this breathing technique from beginner level to now, grinding it for only half a year, and raising it from the First Order to the Fourth Order.
And after this breathing technique reached the Fourth Order, on the surface of Levi's heart, beside the Seed of Life condensed by the Black Snake Breathing Technique—the "Black Snake Seed"—a wisp of black wolf-shaped mist was now crouching beside the black snake mist.
This wolf-shaped mist was the Seed of Life condensed by Levi's Frost Wolf Breathing Technique: the "Frost Wolf Seed."
That's right. Inside Levi's body now, there were two Seeds of Life!
