nThe last time these two families appeared was over a hundred years ago. With their families’ strong foundation, Levi felt that they should not be destroyed.

nHowever, these families were most likely a thorn in the church, so they did not dare to appear in the world and hid in the dark. Levi needed to find their descendants, and it might take some time.

nLevi used his identity as an informant with a one-way connection with his avatar to constantly inquire about clues regarding their families.

nHowever, up until now, there was still no news. It was evident that these two families had hidden themselves very well.

nTherefore, Levi could do nothing about the four families but wait quietly.

nFinally, there was the snuff bottle that he had recently obtained.

nThere was no doubt that it was an item related to the wizard.

nAlthough Levi’s Spider Sensing did not warn him, he was worried that it could be mistaken, so he did not dare open the snuff bottle.

nHowever, he guessed there was a high possibility that an evil spirit was sealed inside, so he had been preparing. When he was fully prepared, he could open it.

n“There’s also the evil spirit from Black Water River, Naiad.”

n“Now that I’ve been promoted to a grand knight, I must consider how to deal with it in my territory. If that thing is powerful enough to leave Black Water River one day, it’s also a time bomb for me.”

n“Magic Shark could escape Naiad’s attack. With my strength, I shouldn’t be in any life-threatening danger. Why don’t I try it now? If the Spider Sensing perceived something wrong, I’d retreat immediately,” Levi pondered.

n“Forget it; let’s play it safe for now. Evil spirits are becoming more frequent all over the world. Perhaps the Shining Tavern will know the whereabouts of the Evil Spirit Dust now. I’ll come back after I master the Seal of Draconic Might. That’s safer.”

nIt was almost the end of the month, just in time for the trade with the Earl of Silver Mountain.

nLevi returned to the shelter, put on his armor, packed up, and brought some money. He let Magic Shark and Demon Mountain carry the goods and headed toward Icewind City.

nLevi did not care about the emissary he had dealt with some time ago.

nNow that he had advanced to a grand knight, he was powerful and could come and go freely without any scruples.

nJust the kingdom itself was already in a terrible state. How could they have the time to investigate the disappearance of this emissary?

nThe emissary did not just come to his territory to recruit soldiers. He went to the vassal territories of some kingdoms in the north.

nHence, no one would have an idea where he died.

nThe worst that could happen was for the King to find out after the rebellion of the Duke of Montenegro that Levi did not send his troops to the battle. Then, he might send someone to settle the score with him.

nHowever, Levi had also thought it through. He would settle the issue with money if he could.

nIf money could not solve the problem, he would directly lay his cards on the table and reveal his identity and strength as a grand knight to see how the King would react.

nIf the King insisted on punishing him, he could send an army to encircle and annihilate Black Water Valley.

nIf so, Levi would leave. Then, he would leisurely travel around the seven kingdoms and let the King have his territory.

nHis days as a lord were almost over, and his goal was to become a wizard, not a lord in a ravine.

nHe might be able to find more information about the wizard if he went to the outside world.

nIf he eloped, the King could not possibly send troops after him to hunt him down. Even if he did, Levi would fight them using his strength as a grand knight.

nOffending a grand knight with no territory, family, or weakness was an extremely unwise and foolish act.

nLevi had plenty of ways to make the King pay for his actions.

nNow, he only had to worry about the church.

nThe church was unfathomable, and the King could not compare to it.

nHowever, Levi did not intend to fight with the church for faith, so it would not suppress him.

nAll in all, the chaos in the world was beneficial to Levi.

nNo one would care about a small figure like him if it was chaotic.

nOn the contrary, when those big shots were idle during times of peace, it was easier for them to target him.

nThat’s right, Levi was referring to the Duke of Montenegro, who had most likely forgotten about Levi in his quest to conquer the world.

nAfter all, the Duke of Montenegro had been hiding for many years and secretly stationed many soldiers. His military strength far exceeded any of the great nobles in the kingdom.

nHowever, he was too arrogant. Fighting against the Royal Family and the southern nobles was difficult.

nOf course, now that more than half of the nobles in the north had joined the Montenegro Mountain Coalition Army, the gap between him and the Southern Coalition Army was shrinking.

nHowever, the Earl of Silver Mountain was not one of these nobles.

nAfter arriving at Icewind City, Levi hid Magic Shark and Demon Mountain in the wilderness and entered the city alone with his goods.

nAlthough their bodies were covered in armor, Levi was still worried that the hidden experts of the Icewind City would sniff out the unusual stench of corpses, especially those lunatics from the church.

nWithin Silver Mountain Castle, the Earl of Silver Mountain looked at Master Tyra sitting quietly.

nAs a grand knight, he keenly sensed that the Blacksmith Master seemed stronger than before.

nHowever, without displaying black gas, it was difficult for the Earl of Silver Mountain to see what realm he was in.

nBut judging from his aura, he was not far from becoming a grand knight.

nIt seemed that the Blacksmith Master was not only very talented in forging, but his talent in cultivation was also not bad.

nThe Earl of Silver Mountain laughed, “Congratulations, Master. Your path of cultivation has leaped.”

nMaster Tyra, Levi, said with a smile, “Compared to the Earl, it is still not worth mentioning.”

nHe knew it would be difficult for his improvement to escape Silver Mountain’s eyes.

nHowever, he did not care. After all, with his strength, Silver Mountain could not do anything to him.

nMoreover, Levi interacted with Silver Mountain during this period.

nAll in all, among the nobles in the north, the Earl of Silver Mountain was relatively reliable, and he was the kind of person that Levi was willing to deal with.

nThe Earl of Silver Mountain was smart and did not dwell much on this issue.

n“Earl, what’s the situation with the Snow Demons recently?” Levi asked.

nThinking of this, the Earl of Silver Mountain sent his servants away and said, “Master, let me show you something.”

n“Oh? What is it?” Levi asked, curious.

nThe Earl of Silver Mountain responded solemnly, “Snow Demon..”
