nChapter 70: Stacked Armors! Dragon Armor!

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

nTaking advantage of his Forging skills, Levi quickly used the scales of the Earthly Dragon Beast and his iron rings mixed with mithril to make a set of armor for himself.

nThe armor exuded a wild and untamed aura, which appeared extremely tough.

nLevi dyed the armor black, and the patterns of scales could be vaguely seen.

nWhen he wore it, the armor was much lighter and did not lack flexibility, unlike plate armor.

nThe armor’s defensive power was weaker than plate armor. In addition, unlike plate armor, this armor made of Earthly Dragon Beast scales had a toughness that could significantly reduce the impact of blunt weapons.

n“Let’s call it Dragon Armor.”

nLevi gave his armor a domineering name.

n“I’ll put on a fine iron chain mail layer on the innermost layer, then put on the Dragon Armor. On the outside, I’ll put on a layer of thick leather armor sewn from the skin of the Earthly Dragon Beast. In addition to my black gas defense, there will be four layers of layered armor.”

n“In the martial arts world, staked armor is the best!”

nLevi wore his armor and waved Frostmourne, feeling like the world was beneath his feet!

nLevi also made a set for Fred.

nFred was overwhelmed by the unexpected gift, and tears streamed down his face.

nHe had barely recovered some of his strength.

nAlthough it would be difficult for him to regain the strength of a mid-level knight, he still had the power of an ordinary knight. After all, he still had the Life Seed and a solid foundation.

nIf Fred had worn such a suit of armor, Iron Mountain could not have seriously injured him. This was the price of not having good equipment.

n“The remaining scales will be kept for the three brothers. I’ll wait for them to grow and forge armor for them.”

nLevi was in a good mood.

nBesides forging armor, Levi had also successfully developed a duplicate Armor-Breaking Crossbow based on the one he had brought back.

nHowever, the most challenging part of the task was not the crossbow but the arrowhead.

nThe arrowheads he forged with ordinary iron would not have the armor-piercing effect he wanted.

nAfter his research as a craftsman, he found that if he wanted to achieve a solid armor-piercing effect, he had to use an even rarer material when forging the arrowhead.

n“Luminant Gold.”

nLuminant Gold was a rare metal that was even more precious than mithril.

nOn the market, 0.5 kilograms of mithril was sold for about 100 gold coins, while 0.5 kilograms of Luminant Gold was sold for 200.

nMost importantly, mithril and Luminant Gold were rare metals and rarely circulated in the market.

nPreviously, Levi had spent a lot of money to buy the mithril he needed to forge Frostmourne Version 2.0.

nAs a result, Levi abandoned the plan to mass produce Armor-Breaking Crossbow but did not give up.

nIn any case, even an ordinary iron arrowhead with an armor-breaking crossbow would have considerable power.

nMoreover, he still had three Luminant Gold arrowheads on hand. They were all picked up from the Earthly Dragon Beast’s body and were enough to be his trump card.

nBy the time Levi was done forging, it was already the Month of Germinal.

nIt had been three months since he destroyed the Bird of Death’s Voice’s stronghold in Icewind City.

nThe organization probably already knew about the destruction but did not

nIn the shelter, Levi, who was practicing the Vortex Breathing Technique, stood up.

nSome time ago, his Vortex Beast Breathing Technique had reached level 2. He felt that his physique had slightly strengthened, but there was a limit to its strength.

nFor his current physique, the Vortex Beast Breathing Technique level 2 benefits were negligible. He must be at least at the fourth level if he wanted more apparent effects.

nHe opened the proficiency panel.

nVortex Beast Breathing Technique: Level 2 (1000

/5000)

n“Without the secret medicine, it is slow to cultivate the breathing technique.” Levi could not help but sigh.

nThis Vortex Beast Breathing Technique was much more challenging to cultivate than the ones he developed in the past.

nThe main reason for this was the lack of secret medicine for this breathing technique called the Turbellarian secret medicine.

nIt required materials Levi had never heard of, such as the “Turbellarian Egg.”

nHe had sent people to the Jade Chamber of Commerce in Icewind City and consulted knowledgeable zoologists. However, no one had heard of it.

nTherefore, Levi had been cultivating this breathing technique himself.

nThe effect was poor. He had only reached level 2 in two months.

nSuch speed was considered godly for others but not Levi.

nPracticing this breathing technique also took up much time for Levi’s other skills.

nWho knew how long it would take him to achieve the maximum level if this continued?

n“I have to make a trip to Icewind City. Firstly, I have to check out news from the Bird of Death’s Voice. Next, I must see how my breathing technique bounty commission is going. Lastly, I have to make progress on the search for Turbellarian Egg… Without this secret medicine, it would be a waste of time and impossible for me to push this excellent breathing technique to its limits. Continuing to waste precious time like this wasn’t worth it.”

nIn the past three months of cultivation, besides the Vortex Beast Breathing Technique, Levi had also progressed in the other breathing techniques.

nHowever, he had mainly focused on the Black Snake and Vortex Beast Breathing Technique. The Man-Faced Spider and Siren Breathing Technique had seen little progress.

nHowever, Levi estimated that in at most two to three months, his Siren Breathing Technique should be able to reach level 5, and the Man-Faced Spider should not be too far off.

nIn short, in no time, his strength would usher in another wave of more significant improvement.

nAfter explaining to Fred, Levi wore the White Wolf Mask and went to the Icewind City.

nHe first went to the Shining Tavern to see if anyone had wanted to sell him breathing techniques during this period.

nThere was someone when he asked the staff. He was overjoyed and asked the team to help him contact the seller.

nLevi found a private room and drank while waiting for the seller to arrive.

nWhile waiting, he listened to all kinds of conversations in the tavern.

nWith the help of his Beginner Vibrosensing, Levi’s hearing was extraordinary. He could hear many whispers in the private room.

nFrom the conversations of these customers, it seemed that the Evernight Kingdom in the far north was not doing well this winter. Nearly ten thousand people had lost their homes due to the cold and the so-called “Snow Demon” disaster. They became refugees and traveled south. Among them, most died on the way. There were too many problems like hunger, disease, robbery, wild beasts, and so on.

nA tew people successtully the northern border ot the Emerald Kingdom and Tuva Empire. The best outcome for them was to be captured by some slave-catching teams and become slaves.

nSome of the enslaved people that Levi bought were from the Evernight Kingdom.

nTheir bodies were shorter and more muscular. They were terrific labor very suitable for forging.

nTo these people, living was tricky. To be alive was already their best dream.

nAccording to some wandering knights hired by Evernight Kingdom’s great nobles to participate in a battle to eliminate the Snow Demons and survive, the so-called “Snow Demons” was a group of indestructible undead unafraid of death. They were covered in frost and had blue ghost fire in their empty eyes!

n“Undead…” Levi’s eyes flashed. He was curious about the origins of these Snow Demons..
