He had almost forgotten that there was such a family.
According to the laws of the kingdom, Baron Levi is indeed the legal heir of Tulip Territory and Storm Territory.
But because the Duke of Montenegro interfered so much, the royal family originally wanted to turn a blind eye and take back the two territories.
The Black Snake family had been silent for too long, and he thought that the heir Li Wei would not care about it.
Unexpectedly, because of the snow demon disaster in the north.
Li Wei, who originally didn't want to come to the south, had to come.
The king called his ministers to discuss the matter.
Finally everyone reached a consensus.
That means let this matter pass and don't mention it again.
After all, the kingdom itself is unreasonable.
The kingdom, which had just ended a long period of war, was fragile, exposed from all sides, and was in danger.
The kingdom no longer wants to start a war.
Moreover, it seems that the current Baron Levi is already a top knight like his father. Even the Red Willow Divine Sword among the King's Seven Divine Swords is no match for him.
Baron Levi was in his prime, and at this time, there was no need to be at odds with a top knight.
Besides, the Black Snake Knight and his soldiers sacrificed their lives for the country before, although Li Wei finally knew that it was the Duke of Montenegro who was responsible, and it had nothing to do with the kingdom.
However, the kingdom acquiesced to the Duke of Montenegro's subsequent actions of occupying the magpie's nest, which was also a mistake. It also allowed the Duke of Montenegro to continue to expand, and eventually became the catalyst for the rebellion.
Therefore, everyone thought about it and decided that letting Baron Levi return to the territory was the most appropriate choice at the moment.
Carrying the gifts from the kingdom, the envoys set off towards the Tulip Territory.
Not long after that, within the Storm Territory, Zhenguo Shenjian also led his team to evacuate the area.
In the year 1014 of the Holy Calendar, it is the last few days of the end of the year.
Livi also received a reply from the kingdom.
The kingdom has approved your actions.
It was legal in the first place, and the kingdom had nothing to say.
Otherwise, the power foundation of the nobles will be shaken, and the king, the "leader", will not be able to sit firmly.
Li Wei naturally responded to the letter, expressing his gratitude and loyalty to the kingdom, and flattering the new king.
Later, Duke Hongliu came with a dark face and took away his son and the army with a ransom.
Li Wei also readily let him go.
If eyes could kill, Duke Hongliu's old eyes could kill him countless times.
After all, he was the life seed that destroyed their family's rising star, the Red Willow Divine Sword.
But the old guy couldn't say anything. He also received compensation from the kingdom.
Moreover, even his own son is no match for Li Wei. Li Wei's current strength is only stronger than that of the Black Snake Knight back then.
Gradually, the great nobles in the south knew that the powerful "black snake" was back and entrenched in the Tulip Territory.
Levi's fame also began to spread in a small area.
The titles "Giant Bear Lord" and "Black Snake Lord" also began to spread slowly.
Although this is not the effect Li Wei wants to achieve, it is something that cannot be helped.
Keeping a low profile is not for the sake of being wronged. Sometimes, you still have to have a bit of a bad reputation, so as to avoid some troubles.
Of course, there must be a degree to this.
That's enough now, and you can live a stable life in the future. People can be famous, but not too famous. The fattest pigs are most likely to be sent to the slaughterhouse.
"No matter what, I can live a more stable life from now on."
Levi murmured in his heart.
He heard that the snow demon from the north had appeared on the edge of Earl Yinshan's territory.
This made him glad he moved to the south.
If you still stay in the north and are worried about Lan Shuang every day, how can you practice?
People sometimes have to be soft.
Facing the snow demon disaster in Icewind City.
Li Wei can only wish his old friend Earl Yinshan to tide over the difficulties.
After taking back the tulip collar and storm collar, Li Wei was not very happy.
So many territories are troublesome in themselves.
Especially the storm collar and tulip collar are not next to each other.
He now also lacks talents in his territory.
Li Wei's focus is always on cultivation, and he cannot waste too much energy on the territory.
He had no choice but to spend a lot of money to recruit talents to help him manage his territory.
Previously, we only had to manage the Blackwater Valley, and the talent problem was not very prominent.
Today's tulip collar and storm collar are both popular.
Li Wei knew that there must be many people coveting his territory.
The talents you recruit are definitely not as good as those you cultivate yourself.
But Li Wei couldn't help it. His heart was not in this territory. He became the lord now simply because he didn't want to give up his family's property to others.
"Don't mess with me, I'm really easy to get along with, really..." Levi said to himself.
I hope the great nobles in the south will be wiser, otherwise there may be fewer great knights in the world.
Having basically solved the territorial issues, Li Wei practiced with peace of mind, waiting for the fire paper to burn.
Shenghui calendar year 1015, New Year.
Li Wei gave a speech in Flower City and officially announced his return.
The kingdom also sent envoys to congratulate him.
This surprised Levi a little.
More than ten years have passed since Levi traveled to this world.
He also grew from a little boy to a twenty-five-year-old man.
He is two meters tall, has strong muscles, an angular face, and a rough beard.
This is the look of Li Wei today. He is getting further and further away from his original intention of being a handsome young man and a handsome boy.
On the contrary, it feels like Tsui Hark's version of Yan Chixia in A Chinese Ghost Story.
Li Wei also went to the Blackwater Valley and took General Heng Ha to the Tulip Territory. Li Wei hid them in the dense forest behind the Flower City and classified this area as a restricted area.
He did this entirely for the safety of his subjects.
There are two behemoths at the level of a great knight. If an unwise person enters, there is a high probability that they will never return.
With these two giant beasts stationed in Flower City, ordinary enemies would die without knowing how they came.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Time passes, and in the blink of an eye, another half year has passed.
It has been more than half a year since Li Wei moved into Flower City.
Big cities also have the benefits of big cities.
At least Levi doesn't need to go to the city frequently to go to Shining Tavern.
After all, it exists in your own city.
It's just that Li Wei basically doesn't lack for anything now.
So the number of times I go to Shining Tavern becomes less and less.
Most of the time, he is practicing.
I occasionally go to Shining Tavern to eavesdrop on other people's conversations.
Or let’s see if the pyroxene has fallen.
The meditation method still requires a little proficiency a day, which is unbeatable.
But this is a good thing for practicing breathing techniques.
After all, after practicing meditation every day, there is still a lot of time left.
During this time, Li Wei spent all this time practicing breathing techniques.
He now sleeps no more than three hours a day on average, and sees the Flower City at three in the morning every day.
With his current physique and physical fitness, he really doesn't need that much sleep.
Three hours was enough for him to rest efficiently.
Under such intense stress, the breathing method progressed rapidly.
However, Li Xiuxiu also focused on the breathing method.
Because Black Snake has been stuck at the ninth level limit for a long time.
Therefore, during this period of time, Li Wei focused on practicing the turtle breathing method, an excellent defensive breathing method.
After more than half a year of hard work, Li Xiuxiu has practiced this breathing method to its limit.
Levi——————
Elephant turtle breathing method: ninth level (limit, limit can be broken), special effect: elephant turtle (gas state).
…
The special effect of the elephant turtle at the end of the ninth level of the Elephant Turtle Breathing Technique is essentially similar to the black scale special effect of the Black Snake Breathing Technique.
Moreover, Li Wei tried it and found that the defensive power of the elephant armor is almost the same as that of the black scales.
But the weevil makes it look like a turtle.
The beauty is not as good as black scales.
Today, Levi's body is covered with layers of gaseous carapace like turtle shells.
Suddenly, Levi discovered a problem.
The turtle breathing method and the black snake breathing method can be run at the same time.
However, the special effects of the Elephant Armor and the Black Snake can only appear one at a time.
"It seems that special effects cannot be simply repeated and superimposed." Levi sighed with emotion.
He thought that if the special effects of elephant armor and black scales could be superimposed, then he would not integrate the turtle breathing method with the black snake breathing method.
But now it seems that Levi is still overthinking it.
It's like two extraordinary defenses cannot be easily superimposed at the same time.
Weevil and Black Scale cannot be stacked at the same time.
In this case, Levi has nothing to miss.
He integrated the Turtle Breathing Technique into the Black Snake Breathing Technique, plus a superficial defensive breathing technique he had obtained previously.
Levi's Black Snake Breathing Technique once again breaks the limit.
Levi————
Black snake breathing method: level nine (1/), special effect: black scales (gaseous).
…
"You can continue to practice the Black Snake Breathing Technique. When the Black Snake reaches the tenth level, my cultivation level should be at the same level as the former Imperial Fist and the Duke of Montenegro."
After Black Snake broke through the limit, it has gone beyond the scope of excellent quality breathing techniques.
It should be a genuine and perfect quality breathing method.
Li Wei left the castle and spent half a year in seclusion.
The fire paper was still silent.
Li Wei always carried the fire paper with him for fear of missing the call.
"The efficiency of wizards is really low."
Levi couldn't help but complain.
His stomach growled and his whale sac was empty.
And Gluttony Bag seems to be hungry too.
He asked his servants to prepare a large table of food for him.
A whole cow was prepared for the Gluttony Bag.
Next, it’s “Gourmet Time” for the two big eaters.
While eating, Li Wei listened to the newly recruited Flower City officials' report on the situation in the territory.
In terms of finance and military affairs in the territory, these two core departments are handled by the people Li Wei brought from the Blackwater Valley.
One is in charge of money and the other is in charge of the army, both are very important, especially the one in charge of money.
Flower City is not Blackwater Valley. The annual financial income is still a considerable amount of income even for the now wealthy Li Wei, and Li Wei cannot give up.
In addition, the income of Stormwind City cannot be underestimated.
This is also the reason why the Duke of Montenegro wants to capture these two territories no matter what.
So far, everything is normal in the territory.
The situation is much better than Levi imagined.
Maybe it's because the residual power I left behind some time ago is still there, and everyone is acting honestly at the moment.
Moreover, my neighbors also express their goodwill to me in various ways.
After all, he is still young and at the peak of his strength.
The intimidation of just one top knight is enough to scare away most enemies.
What's more, his three-headed northern giant bears that tore apart countless enemies, as well as the well-equipped red-blooded cavalry, left a deep impression on others.
The giant bears of the North are originally a symbol of toughness, and they can tame three giant bears as pets. In other people's impression, Levi is a rude, savage, and violent northern barbarian.
Such people are unreasonable.
If you can't help it, don't.
The hypocritical southern nobles naturally understand this truth.
Finally, Li Wei heard reports on security issues in the territory.
"Lord, there have been some strange murders in the territory recently. My subordinates are not strong enough to find out who committed the murders, but I guess that the murderer is not a human being." The Sheriff reported anxiously.
"Oh? Not a human being."
Li Wei doesn't care much about things in the territory.
But when he heard that the murderer might not be a human being, he didn't feel sleepy anymore.
He smelled the scent of evil spirits.
"It just so happens that my Dragon Power Seal is almost at level 3. Let's see which lucky guy is here to deliver the food." In order to gain proficiency in the Dragon Power Seal, Levi's evil spirit dust is almost exhausted.
Now only some essentials are left for actual combat.
I am worried that no evil spirits will catch me.
He was thinking about whether to open a ghost removal agency.
At that time, let some lords who are tortured by evil spirits pay to have their spirits removed, and you can get the evil spirit dust and money, and the lords can be safe.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wouldn’t it be nice to get the best of both worlds, a win-win situation?
"Take me to see the dead. I want to see which guys dare to cause trouble in my territory." Li Wei sneered.
The sheriff took Levi to the morgue.
Levi looked at the three corpses in the morgue.
"The wounds on the bodies of these three victims are similar, and my subordinates suspect that they must be from the same... person."
The sheriff lifted up the white cloth and Levi looked at the slightly smelly corpses.
"Where's the heart?"
Li Wei suddenly discovered that these corpses had no hearts.
"When my subordinates found out, the heart was already missing." The Sheriff couldn't help but tremble when he thought of such a heart-eating maniac hiding in the darkness of Flower City.
Levi observed the corpse carefully.
The first corpse was that of an ordinary person, with his heart missing and his whole body shriveled.
The second corpse was that of a formal knight, who looked like a minor nobleman. Likewise, his heart was missing.
"No formal knight is an opponent, it might be an evil spirit."
Levi's inner analysis.
But he has never seen an evil spirit that attacks the heart.
According to Levi's understanding, creatures like evil spirits generally do not attack physically. They directly attack the soul.
For example, the soul-stealing nuns and water nymphs are like this.
If it is a physical attack, then the evil spirit must be a physical entity. In the spirit state, it cannot carry out physical attacks.
"Is it possible that the evil spirit still has a physical form?" Levi muttered in his heart.
"I understand. You continue to increase patrols and investigations. The prisoner may be a human being. He is just disguising himself as some kind of monster by taking out his heart to deceive others. If you find a possible enemy, don't take action first.
Report to me."
Levi said.
Looking at it now, no matter whether the murderer is human or not.
In short, ordinary knights should be no match.
"Okay sir!"
The magistrate gasped and retreated as if he had been granted amnesty.
It was a little difficult to breathe in front of the two-meter-tall lord.
Levi closed the door.
He released Tutan.
Now when he was indecisive, he would ask Tutan.
Anyway, Tutan was also a wizard apprentice.
His knowledge is definitely far beyond his own.
When Tutan saw this dead state, his face became solemn.
"If we exclude the mischievous human murderers of this kind of death, the closest and most likely death is the work of the vampires."
"The Vampire? Isn't it an evil spirit?" Levi asked.
"It shouldn't be an evil spirit. The heart of the deceased was missing, and all the blood in the body was drained. It looks like several corpses. It should be a vampire. According to the wizard's research, creatures like the vampire have appeared in the world a long time ago, and they have never been seen before.
Stay away. They come from the intersection of multiple planes in ancient times. They are monsters left behind in our world after creatures from certain planes invaded our world."
"You have to be careful. Creatures like vampires are not as easy to deal with as ordinary evil spirits or snow demons. Evil spirits are actually deformed things born from mortals with strong obsessions combined with the demonic tide. Snow demons are blue
Frost invasion, undead aberrations that infect mortals. Although they have some supernatural qualities, their strength is limited.
But the Vampires are different. The Vampires themselves are powerful creatures from some planes. They are as powerful as the legends. Moreover, unlike the legendary stories told by the bards, the Vampires are not afraid of the so-called silver, nor the sun, nor the sun.
They are afraid of garlic. Although they don't like the sun, they will not die when exposed to the sun like in the story.
Even for wizard apprentices, vampires are not easy to deal with, and powerful vampires will give even formal wizards a headache. My suggestion is to report this matter to the church and let the church send professional people to handle it."
Tutan said.
"Church? Count on them?"
Li Wei couldn't help but think of the evil spirit that had been doing evil in Icewind City for most of the year. Today's church is just a bunch of rabble.
You can't even deal with a dangerous evil spirit, let alone a vampire.
"Do you have any monster illustrations or other books here? As a wizard apprentice, general knowledge about monsters should be a compulsory course, otherwise how would you deal with monsters?" Levi took the opportunity to ask.
He is lacking such things now. He needs to supplement some monster knowledge so that he can know his enemies and himself, and be more calm and calm when facing the monsters that have revived from the demonic tide.
In the Pot of Equivalence, a thin book appeared there.
"Knowledge is money, and things like monster manuals are also very valuable. After all, a lot of monster knowledge is the unique research results of some wizards. Generally, they will not be given to others easily. However, this book I have is relatively basic.
They are some common monsters. According to the principle of equivalent exchange, the soul of a knight will belong to you." Tutan said anxiously.
[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, the Changyuan app! It is so easy to use. I rely on it to pass the time by reading and listening to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download huanyuanapp here. 】
"No problem." Li Wei casually found a death row prisoner from the dungeon, and then exchanged the booklet from Tutan's hand.
The Frankenwizard's Monster Manual.
"It seems you have a lot of good things here." Li Wei looked at Tutan with a half-smile.
Upon seeing this, Tutan immediately slipped back into the pot.
Levi shrugged, returned to the castle, and started making up lessons.
