Orange-Red Flames, Fifth-Tier Sea Demon!

Following the recipe in the Manual, Levi prepared the Casting Material according to the proportions.

He then put on the specially made Iron Gloves he had crafted himself, grabbed a small handful of Casting Material, and placed them in his palm.

Then, the hand seals changed, and Levi finished making the hand seals.

He softly recited the accompanying incantation and struck out with his palm.

Pfft

The Casting Material were scattered all over the ground.

Let alone a stream of flames, Levi didn't even see a spark.

"Does that mean I can't wear gloves? But what if I accidentally burn myself?" Levi was unsure Rune Seal would affect the caster, and hesitated for a moment.

"Then I'll try wrapping my palm with Black Qi." With a thought, Levi's palm was filled with Black Serpent Qi. Now that Levi was Mid-Rank Knight, the thickness of his Black Qi was different from before, and disarming someone with his bare hands was commonplace.

Levi then performed the release hand seal again, and then recited the mantra once more.

The next moment, there was a hissing sound.

As if the fuse of gunpowder had been lit, Levi could vaguely feel a force in the world flowing into his arms after he finished chanting the incantation, and then through his palms, causing the Casting Material to ignite instantly and burst forth!

A stream of flame, about a foot long, shot out from Levi's palm, crackling and glowing red, just like an electric welder.

Moreover, what's amazing is that Levi could sense that even without the Black Qi protecting his palms, the high temperature of the flames wouldn't harm his palms.

The flame quickly went out.

A faint warmth still lingered in the air.

"It's a success!"

"From today onwards, am I considered a half-mage?"

He quickly opened the Proficiency Panel.

Sure enough, as he saw, a new skill appeared on the Proficiency Panel.

Levi ————

Flame Stream Seal: First Order (1/1000)

Hahahaha!

Levi laughed heartily. Sure enough, the Proficiency Panel showed that even the Rune Seal that required wizard blood to practice could be practiced! "Next is to grind proficiency. The Casting Material needed for the Flame Stream Seal are not expensive. Let's set a small goal: to grind it to Third Order before the end of this year."

Levi used the Flame Stream Seal to unleash a stream of flames that swept across the ground, scorching it black.

In fact, the power of this flame is quite strong, but Levi's current attack range is too small and the duration is too short. Unless it is close-quarters combat, it is difficult to hurt people.

Moreover, according to the Manual, the flames emitted by the Flame Stream Seal are of five types, with temperatures ranging from low to high: Orange-Red Flame, Yellow-White Flame, Cyan-Blue Flame, Purple Flame, and the highest level, Colorless Flame.

It is said that if one reaches the level of Colorless Flame, the power of this Flame Stream Seal is almost comparable to that of a Formal Wizard using the First-Circle Spell "Burning Hands".

Levi tirelessly practiced the Flame Stream Seal, since the Casting Material were easy to obtain and he didn't care about the cost.

In order to obtain Bone Ash Powder that were over a hundred years old, Levi's men had been raiding numerous tombs during this period.

As for the Casting Material for the other three Rune Seal, Levi posted a request in the Shining Tavern under different identities. Although he knew that it was probably hopeless, he was just waiting for a stroke of luck.

In terms of territory, the construction of cavalry in Blackwater Valley is also in full swing.

To avoid being discovered by potential enemies, this cavalry unit usually trained in a valley basin carefully chosen by Levi, located in the heart of the Black Mountain Range, a place rarely visited by people.

The Forging industry within the territory is also thriving.

To support so many cavalrymen, the daily expenses must be considerable.

As the saying goes, "An army is raised for a thousand days, but used for only one," and this is something that cannot be avoided.

In terms of diplomacy, Levi's two current neighbors, the Silver Fox Baron of the Silvermoon Territory, seem to be undertaking large-scale construction projects in their own territories and are getting very close to the Church, having already become a vassal force of the Church.

Meanwhile, the church built by Abraham the Old Dog was completed. With the support of a large amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, a magnificent church rose from the ground.

On the day of the official opening, Levi also sent someone to deliver a congratulatory gift to Abraham, which made Abraham very happy, and he personally gave Levi a Holy Radiance Blessing.

Levi sneered inwardly. Although his current strength was insufficient to rebel against the Church, it would be easy for him to find an opportunity to kill Abraham the Old Dog and his Glimmer Knight without anyone noticing.

However, he hasn't done that yet. Not only has he not sought revenge, but he has also been trying to curry favor with the Church in various ways. Except for refusing to agree to the old dog's demand to sell the land, he has fulfilled all other requests.

For example, he also donated an extra 100 Gold Coins to the Church in his own name!

When the Church needed labor, it would send some of its serfs to help build the church for free.

This made Abraham think that Levi was very sensible. In his view, sooner or later, the Blackwater Valley would belong to the Church.

The reason he wanted Blackwater Valley so badly was that he had accidentally obtained a Treasure Map, and the treasure on the Treasure Map was located in Blackwater Valley.

After consulting historical records, he discovered that Blackwater Valley was actually the former fiefdom of the Mellon Family, so the Treasure Map must be the Mellon Family's Treasure Map.

The Mellon Family holds special significance for the Church, and his intuition tells him that Blackwater Valley may hold the Mellon Family's treasures and secrets.

However, without becoming the lord of Blackwater Valley, he would not be able to mobilize a large amount of manpower and resources to search extensively.

However, Abraham was very patient. In his view, Levi's current show of goodwill towards the Church meant that Levi was about to give up and was probably trying to please him so that the Blackwater Valley could be sold for a good price.

Therefore, in order to further open up the situation, Abraham the Old Dog personally had the Church branch in Icewind City bestow upon Levi a "Divine Radiance Badge" that could ward off evil spirits. It is said that this badge is the second generation of the previous "Holy Radiance Badge" and has a stronger deterrent effect on evil Evil Spirit!

In the words of Abraham the Dog, this badge, though made of iron, is more precious than gold; it is the Church's recognition of the lord's loyalty.

Levi was naturally very grateful and readily paid this year's taxes.

Carrying a small, heavy bag of gold, Abraham's smile widened.

Thinking of his old dog Abraham, who had been his sworn brother, a strange smile crept onto Levi's lips.

The church, this money tree, is about to start raking in profits, so let the old dog fly a little longer.

The Holy Radiance Calendar 1008, the Month of Flowers.

Inside the Sanctuary, Levi opened his eyes. On the surface of his heart, the Black Serpent Seed proudly raised its head in a kingly posture, while the Frost Wolf Seed, Giant Bear Seed, Sea Siren Seed, and Human-Faced Spider Seed lay prostrate on the ground.

Among them, the Sea Siren Seed is now a size larger than before.

"The Siren Breathing Technique has reached Fifth Order."
