During this period, Levi also made progress in other Breathing Technique.

In particular, the newly acquired Giant Rhino Breathing Technique and Wild Bull Breathing Technique have both reached the Third Order.

Of these two Breathing Technique, the Wild Bull Breathing Technique and the Giant Bear Breathing Technique are similar. Based on the little figure pattern, Levi judged that he could only cultivate them to the Fourth Order before reaching his limit.

The Giant Rhino Breathing Technique, a non- Bloodline Breathing Technique, actually has twenty-four little human figures. According to Levi's speculation, it should be able to be cultivated to the Fifth Order level, which is about the same level as the Siren Breathing Technique.

The slowest progress was in the Vortex Beast Breathing Technique, which had only broken through to the Second Order.

Even the worst version of this high-quality Breathing Technique is far more difficult to master than those used by Frost Wolf or Giant Bear. Of course, the most important reason is the lack of the Vortex Worm Secret Medicine.

Levi is currently juggling five Breathing Technique— Black Snake, Vortex Beast, Human-Faced Spider, Giant Rhinoceros, and Wild Bull—as well as the combat skill Golden Cross Slash. He's so busy he's practically fuming.

As for the Flame Stream Seal, due to the need for Casting Material, he would collect enough Casting Material and then grind it all at once, so the proficiency level increased very casually.

Although this kind of life is very tiring, the increase in strength brought by each breakthrough and the repeated breaking of the limits of the human body are truly captivating for Levi.

Because the Golden Cross Slash was close to breaking through, Levi specially took some time from practicing Breathing Technique to allow the Golden Cross Slash to break through to the Fifth Order, and the initial special Elementary Ripple became Intermediate Ripple.

This boosted his strength once again.

After so many accumulations, Levi could no longer fathom his own strength.

Especially after Knight Fred was injured, there was no one in the territory who could fight Levi.

Levi could only spar with the Three Brothers. Now, with his eyes closed, he could manipulate Three Brothers at will, relying on his enhanced Intermediate Speed and Elementary Vibration Perception.

It's not that the Three Brothers are too weak; any one of them has the strength of Low-Rank Knight, or even stronger. When they join forces, even Mid-Rank Knight can't defeat them, and only High-Rank Knight can barely hold their own.

The problem is that even when Levi was still Low-Rank Knight, he was able to defeat High-Rank Knight like Iron Mountain, who practiced two different Breathing Technique.

Now that he has reached the intermediate level, he possesses many Fifth Order skills, including the trump card Flame Stream Seal. Furthermore, he has completely mastered the attack patterns of the Three Brothers, so he can deal with them with ease.

In short, Levi's strength has been amplified to an extremely terrifying level.

It's just that he's too low-key and hasn't had a chance to showcase his abilities.

Levi originally wanted to find an opportunity to kill that old dog Abraham.

But after thinking about it, it would be a waste to kill Abraham now.

The church has been built, and its influence extends beyond Blackwater Valley, Frostwind Territory, Rock Territory, and Silvermoon Territory. Many territories in the northern regions, beyond the reach of the Icewind City the Church, as well as some settlements in the wilderness, will become targets for Abraham's plundering.

The means of accumulating wealth were nothing more than donations from noble lords, taxes, indulgences, usury, and so on.

It is foreseeable that the Church will make more and more money in the future.

"Old dog, you can make as much money as you want. Consider the taxes I pay for you as my housing provident fund, and I'll get them back sooner or later."

He has now almost established a good relationship with that old dog Abraham, and even the Church branch in Icewind City knows that there is a generous and magnanimous lord named Levi here who has donated a lot of money and labor to the Church.

He was indirectly investing in the construction of the church, and considered himself a shareholder of the church.

He planned to wait until the church was overflowing with donations, then change his identity and disguise, personally seize back everything that Abraham had painstakingly built up, and kill the old dog to vent his anger and make up for the loss of Gold Coins over the years. At that time, the Church would hardly suspect that he was the one who did it.

Levi was happily making plans.

The Holy Radiance Calendar 1008, the Month of Flowing Fire.

Everything within the territory was running smoothly and efficiently.

Levi also kept inquiring about the changes in the outside world through his informant at the Shining Tavern.

The Voice of the Deathbird remained silent. So much time had passed since Iron Mountain's assassination attempt, and no stronger assassins had been sent to kill Levi. Presumably, they had given up.

The investigation into the killer who wiped out the stronghold by the Voice of the Deathbird also came to nothing. After all, everyone in the stronghold died that day and was burned to the ground. The killer left nothing behind, so where could they possibly investigate? However, Levi did not let his guard down. This persistent organization could make a comeback at any time, and he had to be highly vigilant.

As for the Black Mountain Duke, there was absolutely no news.

After all, he was the Grand Duke, a figure at the top of the kingdom's hierarchy, and extremely busy. After several unsuccessful assassination attempts, he was either preoccupied with other important matters and had forgotten about himself, or he was plotting a conspiracy that could absolutely kill Levi.

In short, the current situation is as still as stagnant water.

Although things have been peaceful during this period, Levi is not used to it.

Because he always felt that this was the calm before the storm.

He had this intuition because he sensed it indirectly during his deal with the Boar Knight.

In previous years, the Boar Knight would personally go to trade, and if Levi delivered less than the required quantity, he would complain a bit.

But this year, the people trading with Levi and his group are now under the command of the Boar Knight.

This suggests that the Boar Knight is likely too busy to attend to smaller suppliers like Levi.

Judging from the smug expressions on the faces of the Boar Knight, the Brotherhood of the Wilds's strength was probably nearly complete, and they were just waiting for the right moment to rise up, Levi guessed.

"However, I now have a certain ability to protect myself."

Over the years, Blackwater Valley's fiscal revenue has become sufficient to support Levi's travel expenses and military expenditures, in addition to the money Levi has plundered through murder and arson.

Overall, the issue of money has been largely resolved for Levi, who has no political ambitions.

A fully armed cavalry unit of fifty men was formed. In addition, the part-time militia serving the cavalry was expanded. The population of Levi's territory also increased significantly, mainly from the serf market.

The southward migration of refugees from the Far North due to extreme cold and the Snow Wraith calamity has led to a decrease in the price of serfs in recent years, and Levi took the opportunity to buy a lot of people into the country.

His castle was more fortified than before, and was equipped with deadly weapons such as Armor-Piercing Crossbow.

The Three Brothers grew stronger and stronger. In a few years, Levi would be able to forge armor for Three Brothers, making them absolute weapons of war on the battlefield! In this way, in a state of peaceful coexistence, the overall strength of Blackwater Valley and Levi's personal strength were both growing healthily and steadily.

In his spare time, after being promoted to Master Smith, Levi upgraded his equipment again, and Frostmourne was now version 3.0.

He also began to re-forge Master Smith- level armor, weapons, crossbows, and other equipment to arm his army, striving to ensure that every soldier in his army was equipped with the best possible gear.

Towards the end of the Month of the Furnace, with the added benefit of the [Unrestrained Skill] effect, Levi and the blacksmiths had a surplus of weapons.

He then took a Knight Longsword, which he Forging himself and was of Master Smith caliber, and left Blackwater Valley under the cover of night, heading towards Icewind City.

Now that he is strong enough, it's time for him to make a name for himself as Master Smith.

You should know that he may be the only Master Smith of this era.

He had even thought of a name and title for the Master Smith's disguise.

"Golden Warhammer - Terra".
