Giant Breathing Technique!
"Old man, you don't mean you want me to kill Mu Di for you, do you? I'm just an ordinary Knight." Levi chuckled; he probably guessed what was going on.
The masked man shook his head. "Your Excellency needs Ambergris so much, it is most likely for practicing Breathing Technique. As far as I know, families that need Ambergris as Secret Medicine for Breathing Technique are all extraordinary."
Of course, I'd like to find someone stronger to help me, like Great Knight, but such beings wouldn't bother with an Nameless old commoner like me, and I can't offer them anything compelling enough to do this.
Upon hearing this, Levi's heart stirred slightly. The man in front of him appeared to be dressed as a commoner, old and frail, with little fighting ability, but his background was definitely not simple; his ancestors must have been wealthy.
The man continued:
"Furthermore, I certainly won't let you kill Mu Di. No one can defeat Mu Di; he is an unparalleled God of War born from the storm. The person I want you to kill for me is Mai Ka, the kingdom's Minister of Finance. He's just an ordinary Knight, and he's as old as me. He only rose to the position of Minister of Finance because of the Empire's Fist. That old guy has no skills whatsoever; he just has a good daughter."
Before he became the Minister of Finance, he was just an official in the Upper District Finance Office, a villainous man who was utterly wicked in secret. He had imprisoned dozens of ordinary women in his basement, forcing them to satisfy him, serve him, and bear his children. Even after those women's daughters had grown up, he did not stop his heinous and bestial acts. Many people died in the process, including my only relative, my sister..."
Oh, by the way, judging from your request, besides desperately needing Ambergris, you must also be a Breathing Technique Collector, right? You seem to really want the Giant Breathing Technique? If you can help me kill Mai Ka, I do know where the Giant Breathing Technique is.
I drink at the Shining Tavern every day, hoping you'll bring me Mai Ka head. But I don't have much time left. If you want the Giant Breathing Technique, you'd better bring me Mai Ka head before I die.
By the way, my last name is... Mellon.
After speaking, the masked man left.
Levi's expression was complicated as he watched the person walk away, his heart filled with inner turmoil.
"Mellon ..."
"The Mellon Family still has descendants!"
He thought the Mellon Family had disappeared into the annals of history.
Unexpectedly, a small portion of the Tuva Empire, thousands of miles away, still lived in seclusion in the Holy City.
Come to think of it, it's probably only in places where the Holy Light of the Heavenly Father cannot reach that the descendants of the Mellon Family can find a glimmer of hope! "A family that once produced Peak Great Knight has now fallen to such a state. In the face of the long river of time, everything is so pale and powerless, which is why they seek longevity and endurance." Levi Heart Sense.
No wonder this old man knows so much; he is indeed a descendant of a prominent family.
"I really need Ambergris, and I really need the Giant Breathing Technique, but... it's too dangerous for me to assassinate the father-in-law of the Empire's Fist, a great figure who stands at the pinnacle of the era. Although killing Mai Ka is not impossible, the risk is too great."
Levi shook his head. The old man probably had no motive to deceive him. He was a dying man and had no reason to do such a thing. Besides, he had no grudge against Levi Levi and had no reason to play tricks on him.
This is most likely true, but Levi dislikes the process of seeking fortune through danger.
Since his debut, the vast majority of the murders Levi has committed have been based on absolute certainty of his strength and only after he had achieved overwhelming dominance.
Even if it's not a complete rout, it should at least be Iron Mountain situation, meaning that even if you're not a match for the opponent, you still have the ability to protect yourself.
Levi is very strong now, and he is confident that no one below the Great Knight can defeat him! The problem is that he still doesn't know how strong the Great Knight is, let alone how strong the top- Peak Great Knight like the Empire's Fist is. After all, the only Great Knight he has ever seen is his father, and his father rarely makes a move in front of a child like him.
He feared that he was narrow-minded and arrogant, and would ultimately suffer the same fate as the enemies he had killed.
"That old man should still have a few years left to live. Perhaps I can consider it after I advance to the Great Knight."
Leaving the Shining Tavern, Levi gained a lot from this experience.
At least the promise that person made to Levi let Levi know that the Giant Breathing Technique still existed.
Moreover, that old pervert Mai Ka's house actually has so much Ambergris. If I get my hands on it, I'll never have to worry about Ambergris again! No wonder the Holy City of the Tuva Empire, which is known as the birthplace of the Earth Dragon Beast, doesn't have much Ambergris for sale. It turns out that the Empire's Fist has contracted it all to make Divine Statue and give them to his father-in-law.
"Damn Mai Ka, you rich bastard! Why don't you eat meat porridge! I'm so desperate for Ambergris, and these people are still so extravagant. They should be killed!" Levi cursed inwardly.
He returned to the blacksmith's shop and continued Forging his armor.
He doesn't have enough money yet; he needs to sell a few more Mithril armors.
"Where's the new guy? Come out here."
Levi was Forging when he suddenly heard cursing and swearing coming from outside.
He came out and saw that the Scarface from the Bloodhand Gang was holding a broken sword in his hand, which he had thrown on the ground.
"What's wrong, everyone?" Levi asked.
"You know perfectly well what I'm asking. Didn't you see my sword is broken? Do you have any good swords? Give me one. Without good weapons, how can you protect your blacksmith shop? You know, the Wildfire Gang next door is eyeing your business with a lot of covetous eyes," the Scarface said, his tone both unreasonable and arrogant.
"There are some outside, take your pick." Levi said, then went back inside.
"Then we won't stand on ceremony, brothers, let's get some new gear." With the Scarface's shout, the gang members instantly threw away their junk weapons and replaced them with ordinary weapons that Levi had previously Forging and placed on the weapon rack to avoid attracting attention.
These ordinary weapons were excellent for these naive gang members.
Before long, it became quiet outside.
Levi faintly heard someone sighing.
"When will this ever end?"
"Father, I contacted a Pre-Knight- ranger yesterday. I've had enough of this life. Why don't we unite with the others on this street and rebel!"
"Sigh, Bloodhand Boss is Formal Knight, and it's said that several Knight have died at his hands. Moreover, I heard that someone saw Bloodhand Boss drinking with someone who looks like Minister of Finance Mai Ka..."
"But rather than groveling here, it's better to wander in the wilderness."
Levi listened to these conversations expressionlessly and continued Forging.
The next day, the new armor was completed.
Levi sent it to the Shining Tavern for auction, and as he had said, the masked old man was indeed drinking alone in a corner.
After finishing his own business, Levi went to the old man's side, ordered a glass of Lion King Spirit, and then drank it all in one gulp.
"Old man, live well. I don't want to find yourself dead when I come to the tavern with what you need."
The masked old man raised his head, his body trembling. His eyes shone, and he raised a glass of Lion King Spirit, downing it in one gulp. Then he said, "Cough cough... Young man, may your future shine as brightly as the Lionheart Knight!"
