nChapter 121: Advance to Grand Knight! (2)

nTranslator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

nThe Green Forest Seven Sons, Blue Sea Seven Heroes, and all sorts of strange names were endless, and behind them might be some ordinary knights.

nIn short, chasing fame and fortune was human nature.

nThis was especially true for mortals, whose lives only lasted a hundred years.

nThe average lifespan of people in this era might not even be 50 years old. Hence, most people preferred to lead timid and mediocre lives.

nNo heroic and epic characters could make major contributions and become legendary in such a short time.

nAs people often said, there were only dead legends in this world.

nAs the war gradually intensified, the Royal Family began to recruit remote areas, asking their vassals to support their troops and financial resources.

nThe remote Black Water Valley was no exception.

nBaron Black Snake was the king’s direct vassal.

nNaturally, they had to provide support for the Royal Family.

nThe emissary from the kingdom quickly sent the news of the conscription to the Black Water Valley.

nGenerally speaking, given its size and wealth, Black Snake needed to provide 10 to 30 cavalrymen or several times the number of foot soldiers to support the king during wartime.

nOr 50 to 100 gold coins per cavalryman.

nLevi had told the butler before he entered seclusion for his transformation process.

nIf the higher-ups came to recruit soldiers, they would have to pay the money accordingly.

nWith Levi’s current wealth and strength, he would happily hand over the money to not cause trouble.

nIn front of Black Snake Castle, the emissary frowned at the butler and asked,

n“Where is Baron Black Snake?”

nThe butler looked at the official knight and smiled apologetically, “My lord has something on recently and is busy. He said that our territory doesn’t have that many people for now, so we can only provide financial support.”

nThis emissary was a high-level knight. He also brought a small team to prevent nobles who harbored evil intentions from trying to get away with it or refuse to fulfill this sacred obligation.

nThe emissary said coldly, “This war is different from the past. His Majesty has said that all the vassals under His Majesty must personally lead the troops to battle.”

nThe butler stuttered, “But our lord….

nThe envoy questioned loudly, “Shut up. Your lord was conferred by His Majesty. His Majesty also conferred this land. Go and call Baron Black Snake out immediately! Otherwise, we will punish him for desertion during wartime and strip him of his title. Can you bear the consequences?” The butler kept quiet and was thinking about how to quibble.

nSuddenly, he heard the voice of the lord.

n“I’ll go,” Levi said.

nThe emissary looked at the thin man, who looked quite capable, “You are Baron Levi.”

n“That’s right. I’ll fulfill my obligations. When do we set off?”Levi said.

nThe emissary responded, ‘Very good. We will set off now. Bring your soldiers and gather at Earl Coulomb’s territory. Prepare to head to the battlefield at the northern line of the Lush Forest.”

nNot long after, under the leadership of the emissary, Levi led a team of soldiers toward Earl Coulomb’s territory.

nLevi looked at the emissary in front of him. He was a high-level knight with a team of cavalrymen who were Quasi-Knights.

nWhen the Black Snake Castle had disappeared behind them, the team came to a

nsmall road in the wilderness. In front of them, two stalwart figures in heavy armor blocked their way.

nThese two figures did not say a word as they silently watched the emissary and the others.

n“Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?”

n“I’m the kingdom’s emissary; quickly move aside!”

nThe emissary’s expression changed drastically. The two figures blocking the way did not hide their powerful auras at all, as well as their sinister and cold auras.

n“These might be two grand knights….”

n“How is this possible? How could we meet two grand knights on the way?”

nThere might not even be a hundred grand knights in the entire Emerald Kingdom.

nTwo grand knights blocked him on this secluded path.

nMoreover, these two people looked dead. Their deep blue eyes stared at him, making his hair stand on end.

nIn the next moment, the two grand knights suddenly exerted their strength!

nBoom!

nThe two giants swung their greatswords and axes.

nThe high-level knight narrowly dodged the attack.

nThe cavalrymen behind him were not so lucky.

n“Enemy attack! Retreat!” Levi shouted at the soldier.

nThe soldiers had never seen Magic Shark and Demon Mountain before, so they thought some random enemy had come to attack them.

nUnder the lord’s orders, they quickly fled.

nThose two people were too terrifying. They were even more terrifying than the Giant Bears of the Northern Territory Levi raised.

nLevi also slowly retreated. He watched as the two brothers, Demon Shark and Demon Mountain, tore the emissaries and the cavalrymen into pieces.

nIn the end, none of them survived. “Initially, I wanted just to pay the money peacefully.”

n“But why do you have to force me?”

n“My father was a powerful grand knight, and his brave soldiers all died on the battlefield of the Holy War. How can I repeat the same mistake?” “Money is fine. But to sacrifice lives? That’s impossible!”

n“I’m a grand knight now. The world is so big; I can go anyvvhere.” Levi used the Seal of Flame to burn the corpses to ashes.

nHis philosophy was clear. He would never go to war for the king.

nToday, he had successfully advanced into a grand knight.

nA Black Snake broke out of the cocoon at his heart, and a mighty and extraordinarily large Black Snake Seed coiled around Levi’s heart like a dormant dragon.

nThe level 8 Black Snake Seed had a powerful aura and was incomparable.

nIn front of the Black Snake Seed, whether it was the Blood Whale, the Giant Rhinoceros, Siren, or the Man-Faced Spider, all paled in comparison. They feared and worshiped the transformed Black Snake Seed, their king.

nThe black gas wrapped around Frostmourne, making it as black as ink. The viscous fluid flowed, shining with the luster of asphalt.

n“I’ve mastered the Black Gas Entwined skill!”

nLevi looked at all of this and felt his powerful self.

nAfter becoming a grand knight, his strength underwent a tremendous change.

nThe black gas that covered his entire body gave him a sense of security.

nThe level 8 Black Snake Breathing Technique was already extraordinary.

nBlack Snake Breathing Technique: Level 8 (1

/100000), Special Effect:

nTranscendent Defense.

n“Let’s go home.”

nLevi muttered and left with his two companions..
