Chapter 225 The Way of Humanity! (Long chapter, please vote and subscribe!)

Lion City.

Inside Livy's Wizard Tower laboratory.

Emperor Mu's eyes were glazed as he looked at the white wolf girl before him.

"Argenta? How did I get here... I remember I was being controlled by the Golden Spine... Wait, where's my Golden Spine?"

Emperor Mu suddenly stood up, the intense pain in his body causing him to groan involuntarily.

Argenta quickly said, "Your injuries have just healed. Your master stitched you up with a lot of stitches. You can't move around too much, or they'll burst open."

"What...what's wrong with me?" Mu Di asked, calming down.

"You'll know when Master arrives," Argenta said.

Li Wei had already walked in.

"Commander!" Mu Di got out of bed and came to Li Wei.

"Your injuries haven't fully healed yet, so don't get too excited. Tell me if you have any questions," Li Wei said.

"Commander... have I gone berserk and lost control?" Mu Di asked.

"That's right, you killed someone at Golden Lion Castle, Lord Leon hunted you down, and then you disappeared. It seems you really don't remember anything at all." Li Wei's eyes were calm as he explained what had happened in the past.

"Alas... that golden spine has indeed run into trouble. I had a feeling it might be faulty before, but I took a chance. Now it seems that relying on external objects is ultimately a crooked and unorthodox approach," Emperor Mu sighed.

"I've already taken that golden spine, and it's now in a special container. You shouldn't touch it anymore."

This thing is really strange. I see that your current level is not far from breaking through the legendary barrier. Next, you just need to complete a complete transformation of the Life Seed, and then you can begin your new knight's journey. From now on, just focus on your cultivation. If you lack resources, you can tell me.

Li Wei said that since he had taken Mu Di's things, it would be unreasonable not to give some compensation.

"Thank you for saving my life, Commander. I was blinded by the Golden Spine and made a terrible mistake. I don't know if the Wizarding Council will punish me." Mu Di was worried about the innocent people he had killed.

Although he was ruthless, he was not a man who killed indiscriminately.

"That's alright, the Golden Lion family can handle it for you. Besides, you've killed quite a few of the Black Wizards' people, so that's enough to make up for your mistakes," Li Wei said after thinking for a moment.

"Thank you, Commander."

"You should continue to recover from your injury."

Li Wei left the laboratory.

Three months later, Emperor Mu's injuries were completely healed.

His strength has also returned to its peak, and not only that.

On a sunny afternoon, after Mudi finished practicing the breathing technique, he felt as if a shackle had been broken within his body, and a sense of sudden enlightenment washed over him.

Thick, golden hair grew wildly on his body, then receded back into his body.

In his heart, the seed of the sacred ape had undergone a transformation and become the seed of bloodline.

This means that he has finally broken free from the shackles of bloodline and entered a brand new realm.

Upon learning this news, Li Wei immediately met with Emperor Mu after his breakthrough.

"Captain, give it a try!"

Emperor Mu's face was filled with excitement. He unleashed a powerful force from both palms, and with one strike, the wind and clouds changed color.

"Good timing."

Li Wei lightly caught Emperor Mu's palm strike, and then exerted force.

Mudi was sent flying hundreds of meters away, crashing into the wall of the training ground and leaving a large mark.

Emperor Mu looked blank, somewhat bewildered.

"Commander... I want to confirm, are we currently in the same realm?" Mu Di seemed to be having some doubts about life, and couldn't help but ask at this moment.

"No, my realm is above yours." Li Wei smiled mysteriously, then turned and left.

He came here mainly to see the changes after Emperor Mu's breakthrough.

As he had predicted, the seed of life transformed into the seed of bloodline, and the thirst for blood was complete.

Emperor Mu gazed at Li Wei's retreating figure, lost in thought, before standing up.

"Why should I compare myself to the captain? I'm a member, I should compare myself to Dinos, who is also a member. I'll go and fight Dinos right now."

Emperor Mu came to a realization.

So the teacher came before his apprentice Dinos.

Dinos was also training hard at the moment. When he saw the spirited Mudi, his expression changed: "Teacher, you've broken through?"

Emperor Mu smiled confidently and said, "Come and give it a try."

Dinos' golden mane emerged, transforming into a majestic lion, unleashing a powerful and sweeping attack on Mudi.

Emperor Mu roared and suddenly exerted his strength, then he struck out with a powerful palm.

Dinos flew away like a kite with a broken string.

"See that? This is the power to break through to legendary status, Bloodthirsty Knight." Mu Di said, his heart pounding with excitement, though he maintained a calm facade.

Breaking the legend is something that others would consider a pipe dream.

Now, he, Mudi, has become the second knight to break through to the legendary level.

Dinos, refusing to believe it, attacked Mudi again, unleashing a barrage of punches.

Emperor Mu broke through to the legendary level, and his physical attributes improved again in all aspects, especially his main attribute of strength, which surged.

He easily deflected Dinos's attacks and then knocked Dinos away.

Dinos finally realized that Teacher Mudi had truly made a breakthrough.

He was thrilled, because it meant that he too could break through the shackles of legend in the future.

"Of course, this kind of thing is something that only your father and our own people, the Twilight Knights, should know. There's no need to spread it around to others. We're still a startup team, and the bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow against us. You know what I mean?" Mu Di said.

"Teacher, I understand," Dinos said with a smile.

After subtly showing off in front of Dinos, Mudi went back to consolidate his cultivation level.

He always believed that he needed that golden spine to break through the shackles of legend.

In retrospect, it was that golden spine that restricted him, trapping him in his own web.

Now that I'm free from my shackles, I've had a sudden realization, and it feels so good!

"Hahahahaha." Emperor Mu's laughter rang out, carrying a sense of carefree ease.

"This is something to laugh about, and I can't fall behind."

Dinos returned home and immediately began his seclusion.

……

The year 1075 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of budding.

For the Endless Sea, there are no seasons.

But in the Peacock Kingdom on Earth, it was the month when grass grew and birds flew.

About fifty years ago, in the year 1038 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, a terrible dark event occurred in the Emerald Kingdom.

Because the faith of the kingdom's people was not loyal enough, the seven deadly sins proliferated and ran rampant in the world, leading to the proliferation of demons and the bloodshed that ravaged the Emerald City.

The extravagant and decadent Jade Kingdom perished in a demonic invasion, marking the end of its reign.

The Church of Holy Radiance held power until a grand ducal family in the south defeated numerous rivals and took control of the royal city, ushering in the era of the Peacock Kingdom in 1040 of the Holy Radiance Calendar.

The founding monarch of the Peacock Kingdom, Grand Duke Peacock, died of a serious illness in the year 1070 of the Holy Radiance Calendar.

The eldest son, Boyka, inherited the throne, which he still holds to this day.

The Emerald City has long been renamed the Peacock City, and the Emerald Dragon statue in the center of the city has been replaced by a colorful peacock spreading its wings and soaring into the sky.

This is the emblem of the Peacock family.

Five-colored peacock.

In mythology, the five-colored peacock shines with sacred five-colored light, illuminating all things wherever it goes.

Even the Emerald Dragon, which is said to possess the green light of multiple colors, is insignificant in the face of the Five-Colored Divine Light.

Clearly, this is a "myth" adapted by the Peacock family to promote their legitimacy in replacing the Emerald Dragon family.

The truth and the falsehood are self-evident.

What's most talked about about the Peacock family is that, ten years ago, a legendary knight emerged from this family.

This may be the only legendary knight to emerge in the last hundred years, from the end of the Emerald Kingdom to the establishment of the Peacock Kingdom.

Moreover, this legendary knight, like the missing goddess knight next door, was also a female knight.

This legendary knight is Denise, the sister of the current Peacock King.

Legendary title: Divine Light Knight.

Unlike her brother, Danes the Light Knight had no interest in politics.

From childhood, Denise traveled through the Seven Kingdoms with a great knight master, learning the ways of chivalry.

It was this dedication, coupled with her talent, that enabled Denise to break through to the Legendary level and become the only Legendary Knight in the history of the Peacock family.

At this moment.

At dusk, the sun sets in the west.

The pale golden afterglow bathed the walls of the Peacock King City, creating a dreamlike and enchanting scene.

Outside Peacock City, on a small road in the suburbs.

A group of people are seeing them off.

King Boyka, dressed in casual clothes, looked at his dashing sister in front of him and felt a pang of emotion.

"Alas, if it weren't for my lack of knightly talent, I would rather you, sister, be the king and let me be the legendary knight. For a fine man like me, becoming a legendary knight would be a wonderful thing."

Boyka's expression was complex, a mixture of envy and resentment.

Denise wore the full mithril armor [Fudo Myo-o] forged by the Golden Hammer Master, and at her waist was the curved sword [Flying Yaksha], also forged by the Golden Hammer Master and infused with obsidian.

She patted her younger brother on the shoulder and said, "Brother, govern the country well. The Peacock Clan has never enjoyed such a glorious era. I believe in you."

"Sister, are you really going overseas? It is said that there are terrifying beings from beyond the realm lurking in overseas lands, and dangers abound. Even a great knight who rashly steps overseas may perish at sea," Boyka asked.

With a legendary knight in charge, his position would be more secure, so he didn't want his sister to leave.

But as things stand, it seems my sister still doesn't want to stay in the royal city for even a moment longer.

"When I traveled through the Seven Kingdoms, I heard many stories about legendary knights: the Snowflake Knight, the Flower Knight, the Golden Knight, the Lionheart Knight, the Ash Knight..."

These names shine like stars in the history of the seven kingdoms. I trace their footsteps from childhood to adulthood.

I longed to become a legendary knight, but only after I reached that level did I realize that becoming a legendary knight was not the end goal.

My brother, you were born to be a king. I am different. I am just a woman, and my ambitions lie elsewhere.

Your father entrusts the country to you, hoping you will not let him down and become a great king supported by your people!

Danes the Light Knight turned and rode away without a second thought. With her back to the king, she waved goodbye.

"Your Majesty Boyka, please return."

After Denise, her knight teacher since childhood, a top-tier knight who had never been known, finished speaking, she rode off on her steed and chased after him.

Watching his sister's departing figure, King Boyka looked somewhat saddened.

"Let's go, let's leave this place. It's also a form of protection for my sister." He looked at the cathedral in the center of the Peacock City, his expression somewhat complicated.

On the wilderness.

Denise and the old knight traveled under the stars and moon. She passed through the City of Flowers, disguised herself, and arrived at the Shining Tavern to rest for the night.

"It's really uncomfortable staying in the royal city," Denise thought to herself.

Ever since she learned that the disappearances of those legendary knights in history might be related to the church, she felt a sense of urgency after advancing to the rank of legendary knight.

Her goal was to distance herself from the church and find a secluded place to practice in peace.

She gently wiped her cherished armor and scimitar.

This is a set of equipment: the Immovable King Armor and the Flying Yaksha Sword.

It was the last masterpiece of the Golden Warhammer Master, which she bought at an auction for a high price, and also the Master's most proud work!

Although she did not understand the meaning of "Acala" and "Flying Yaksha".

But it doesn't matter; the words "Golden Warhammer" carry immense weight.

According to unreliable sources, the Golden Warhammer Master may have passed away.

After all, he was already famous sixty years ago, and at that time he was already a master, which means that he must have been around fifty years old when he became famous.

Now that time has passed, even a great knight who is over a hundred years old is nearing the end of his life.

It should be understood that in this era, due to famine, plague, natural disasters and man-made calamities, the average lifespan of ordinary people was probably less than forty years.

During her travels through the Seven Kingdoms, Denise had contact with a legendary knight named Hogg in the Eastern Empire.

The Hogger Knights' family once produced the Ash Knights, who were renowned throughout the Eastern Empire.

From the Hogg Knight, she learned something else that shocked her.

Knight Hogg once received guidance from an unparalleled expert, and it was because of that expert's guidance that he was able to break through to the level of a legendary knight.

That powerful figure could kill strong native vampires as easily as slaughtering chickens and dogs.

That powerful figure has cultivated the way of chivalry to a level that is unprecedented and unparalleled.

He broke the shackles of legend!

This greatly shocked Denise, who had just advanced to Legend and was quite proud of herself, and further confirmed her guess.

A legendary knight is not the pinnacle of the knight's path!

Denise then asked Knight Hogg how she could find this senior.

Hogg simply shook his head mysteriously, and then said, "The senior is like a dragon whose head is seen but not its tail, never revealing his true form to the world."

It's practically impossible for you to meet a senior, but if you're destined to, you will.

However, if you are looking for an opportunity to break free from the shackles of legendary knights, my answer is the open sea.

Travel along the coast of Stormwind, sailing out to sea in search of the giant whale, and venture into the Devil's Sea, where you may find something of value.

Hogger's words were deeply imprinted in Denise's heart.

"The answer is on the sea."

A mysterious and vast land in the open sea, where unknown secrets are hidden.

Legend has it that due to the rare celestial conjunction, creatures from various other dimensions, such as vampires, blue frost, werewolves, and sea monsters that cause disasters on the ocean, have begun to appear.

In a world where wizards have vanished, these things have caused much trouble for the Church of the Seven Kingdoms.

Some cults of evil gods, resembling demons and monsters, have also emerged.

On the continent of the Seven Kingdoms, there are the Moon Goddess Cult, the Death Society, the Werewolf Brotherhood, and so on.

Meanwhile, in a city near the open sea, a force called the Holy Serpent Society has also begun to emerge.

This faction is said to worship a god from another dimension.

The followers of this god are a group of lizardmen and snake people who have now infiltrated the outer seas and caused considerable panic.

Therefore, Denise's journey to the outer seas may indeed present some risks.

However, none of this could stop her.

"I must find the place Knight Hogg mentioned, the place of a knight's dream!"

Outside the window, the moonlight was cool.

Ten years ago, the Lord of Flower City, Baron Levy, passed on his title to his son, Baron Reed, as his life was nearing its end, and went on a solo journey.

Now, Baron Reed is in the castle, eating blood bread.

The so-called Baron Reed was, of course, Andrew in disguise.

It was just to prevent the residents of Flower City from getting suspicious.

With the outbreak of the war between the black and white wizards.

Andrew hadn't mailed any letters to Levi in ​​a long time; he had accumulated quite a few breathing techniques with him.

Although he couldn't mail it, he continued to help his master collect breathing techniques in various ways.

This has become Andrew's habit, and it's hard to change.

The next day.

As Andrew was reviewing recent documents as usual, the sheriff arrived.

"Lord of the city, a murder occurred in the city last night, suspected to be caused by a dark creature."

Nowadays, people have become accustomed to being attacked by unknown monsters.

Whether it's vampires, werewolves, necromancers, ghouls, or so on.

The church categorizes these horrifying creatures as "dark beings."

"I'll go take a look."

Andrew's expression was serious.

Over the years, under his rule, Flower City has been one of the cities in the Peacock Kingdom with the fewest attacks from dark creatures, as has Stormwind.

However, fewer doesn't mean none. Occasionally, some ignorant monsters would come to Flower City and cause trouble, only to be killed by Andrew.

If Andrew can't defeat them, he'll call for reinforcements, such as the Blood Knight and the Black Knight.

These two have long since broken through the shackles of legend and are hidden at the ceiling level of power. There is nothing they cannot solve.

Of course, the ceiling is based on excluding giants like the church.

Inside a mansion, Andrew saw the family of three who had been killed by dark creatures. Their bodies were mutilated, with only some bones stained with blood and flesh remaining.

Andrew searched carefully for clues and finally found a curved black hair in a crack in the stone on the ground.

"A werewolf? Or a ghoul?"

Both of these dark creatures can shed hair.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it was done by other humans.

Andrew discerned the scents, then left the place with a gloomy expression.

"Damn it, it smells like urine. Who shed this hair?"

Frustrated, Andrew quickly threw away the curly hair and then washed his hands.

He continued searching for clues; he had to find that damned murderer.

Both werewolves and ghouls are terrifying monsters, and they all possess strength approaching that of legendary knights.

Some powerful beings may be just as terrifying as the original vampires.

In this way, a month has passed.

It was another quiet and peaceful night.

A dilapidated noble mansion on the outskirts of Flower City, eerily quiet and reeking of foul odors.

On the surface, the mansion appears ordinary, but once you enter its basement and pass through a dark and deep tunnel, you'll find a hidden depth.

You will then arrive at a cavern where will-o'-the-wisps flicker.

Inside the cave, green candles burned all around.

A group of naked men and women were having a chaotic party here.

White things swayed and bumped around, and a luxurious atmosphere permeated the air.

"Everyone, everyone, stop for a moment, stop what you're doing." Bats flew over and gathered around a young vampire man.

Upon seeing the vampire man, the men and women all stopped.

An old man who looked emaciated climbed off a beautiful woman, put on his witch's robe, and chuckled strangely, "We should hold more gatherings like this in the future. I, Blackbone, really enjoy them."

This is a wild wizard from the school of death in the human world. He returned from the wizarding world a long time ago and now lives a wretched life in the human world, mingling with dark creatures.

Besides, there were werewolves, ghouls, vampires, and evil witches present; in short, none of them were ordinary people.

This young vampire is Misel, a native vampire of the Thorn Mystic Clan, and the organizer of this gathering.

Their organization is called "Dark Fairy Tale Tea Party".

These supernatural beings are basically evil villains from fairy tales.

"Because of the church's suppression, we beings are forced to live in darkness. Now, the evil tide is reviving further, and our era is coming."

The purpose of my tea party is to bring together us, these minority groups, these loose individuals, into an unbreakable alliance.

Let's unite around our Demon Feast Alliance and fight against that damned church and those meddlesome human knights and rangers!

They smear us as "creatures of darkness," but no one is born wanting to be darkness.

We were forced to hide like rats in a street, in dilapidated castles, in basements, in filthy, stinking sewers, and treated as villains in fairy tales by powerless mortals!

We are clearly the noble and extraordinary beings, and we should be the masters of this world!

The world is in the wrong place; it needs to be put back on the right track!

Minority lives matter too!

The wicked witch of the Black Forest once dreamed of being the kind Snow White, didn't she, Snow White?

Misel's gaze fell on Theresa, a black-robed witch from the Frost faction, who was standing in the corner with her stunning figure, wearing crystal high heels, and her long, white legs draped over a male prostitute.

The witch licked her alluring red lips and said with a smile, "Isn't that right?"

Theresa is the illegitimate daughter of a king of the Gaia Kingdom. She has a cliché and tragic past, and later accidentally inherits the legacy of the Frost faction and becomes a witch.

"Therefore, we need to cooperate, not fight our own battles, otherwise we will never be able to defeat the church."

Next, our Moon Goddess Cult will be conducting a series of activities in the Seven Kingdoms. If you are willing to join us, you can stay here.

"Those who are unwilling may leave on their own. Let today's gathering be a memory for the future," Misell said with a gentlemanly smile.

After a while, the Snow White Witch, the Bone Wizard, the werewolf, and the ghoul had not left.

"That's great! I'm so happy we've reached this cooperation agreement. Everyone is welcome to introduce like-minded friends to join us and fight together for our great cause!"

As soon as Misel finished speaking, his brow furrowed, the door to the underground cave was suddenly kicked open.

A vampire with a cold expression appeared here.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I never expected that I would catch a whole group of big fish when I was just trying to catch a small shrimp." Andrew threw a young werewolf on the ground, who had already turned into a dried-up corpse.

"Where did this inferior vampire come from?" Misel looked at the dead young werewolf on the ground, and then couldn't help but look at the werewolf who was hugging and frantically eating a prostitute. He was a werewolf from the Walter family, Jill, whose strength was comparable to that of a native vampire.

"This is... Suneo, you actually killed Suneo?!" Jill's expression changed as she looked at Andrew.

"He's barely grown up, yet he's causing trouble and eating people on my turf. If he doesn't die, who will?" Andrew said.

"It's still a child. So what if it eats a person?" Jill's face was ferocious, and his true form as a three-meter-tall werewolf was revealed, his terrifying wolverine claws gleaming coldly.

"Misel, you don't mind if I kill this overconfident secondary vampire, do you?" Jill asked, fearing that this secondary vampire might be one of Misel's people, so he had to ask.

"Walter, I don't mind. Do as you please. I have some things to attend to, so I won't keep you company any longer."

Misel had a bad feeling. A mere secondary vampire dared to trespass here; he must have something to rely on.

Misell transformed into bats and quickly left the area.

boom!

Walter transformed into a black blur and crashed into Andrew, sending Andrew flying.

The Snow White Witch and the Bone Wizard continued to enjoy themselves.

They not only indulged in pleasure, but also occasionally used magic to add some excitement.

For example, summoning a clueless skeleton to play a threesome...

Walter alone is enough to deal with a naive second-generation vampire.

Andrew also revealed his true form as a vampire and grappled with Walter. Red and black light collided, and shockwaves surged.

Andrew fought while simultaneously making a tactical retreat.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves rang out in the distance.

"Huh? The Blood Knights are here?" Andrew looked up at the sound and saw a handsome silver-scaled white horse coming with its four hooves treading on the snow.

On horseback, a female knight in light armor held a scimitar, the blade shimmering with multicolored light.

In front of the female knight, there was a young werewolf running wildly.

"Father, save me! Someone wants to kill me!"

"The young werewolf shouted."

Jill, who was fighting Andrew, looked over at the little werewolf who was about to be caught up by the human female knight.

In a fit of rage, he flung Andrew away, leaping high into the air as the light of his Wolverine claws ripped through the night sky.

"die!"

He only had seven wolf cubs. Today he brought two out to train, but one of them died.

The seven wolves became six wolves.

If his wife finds out, she definitely won't let him take care of the kids anymore.

"Flowing Light Slash!"

The female knight's scimitar flashed through the air, and behind her, a pair of illusory, multicolored wings unfurled.

Five-colored light flowed around the flying yaksha's curved blade, transforming into a five-colored stream of light.

boom!

The shockwave from the collision swept through.

Gilles was sent flying backward, and then stared at the female knight in front of him with a solemn expression.

"legend?"

The only humans capable of withstanding a blow from me, besides wizards, are legendary knights.

"Humans, don't push me."

Jill said coldly, a black aura swirling around the werewolf's true form.

To everyone's surprise, the female knight on the other side didn't say a word, and her warhorse charged straight at them.

The five-colored blade light clashed with the Wolverine's claws.

It was hissing and sparking.

"roar!"

Jill's wolf fur transformed into steel needles, scattering in all directions.

The sound of ping-pong balls hitting the table rang out.

Andrew thought the Blood Knights had arrived.

Unexpectedly, a legendary knight they didn't recognize arrived.

The werewolf Jill fought with increasing ferocity, while the little werewolf hid to the side, human flesh and blood still lingering at the corners of his mouth, grinning cruelly.

"Father, don't kill her. I want to enjoy her beautiful body first, then I'll eat her."

the other side.

It seems they didn't expect that the battle outside would still be ongoing after so long.

The Black Bone Wizard and the Snow White Wizard, who had finished their business inside, along with a pale-faced male nobleman, came out one after another.

These three are the strongest members of this silver party group besides Jill.

The pale-faced nobleman was a ghoul, and this mansion was his lair.

Ghouls are also dark creatures from another dimension, and they are gradually awakening as the demonic tide revives.

"Jill, do you need our help?" the ghoul nobleman sneered.

"Get out!" the werewolf Jill roared. Being beaten by a legendary knight was a great humiliation for him!

The ghoul shrugged and watched the show on the sidelines.

The Black Bone Wizard embraced the Snow White Witch.

"That felt wonderful."

"Yes, it's just too short."

Are you referring to time? Or length?

"All."

"Ahem, let me capture this secondary vampire. He'll be a good servant to my wizard."

The Blackbone Wizard, no longer wanting to make a fool of himself, chuckled.

He chanted a spell from the Death faction, summoning skeletons.

The black doors opened, and one after another, skeleton warriors dressed in strange costumes crawled out, exuding a sinister aura.

"Go, take him down."

The Black Bone Wizard said casually.

Andrew's expression changed slightly, and he quickly retreated.

"Human knights over there, retreat first!" Andrew shouted.

The Divine Light Knight Denise looked at Andrew. She hadn't expected that a vampire would care about her.

It seems these vampires are also part of the human camp? That's strange.

However, she also knew that if she continued fighting, the outcome would only be more dangerous than good.

Little did she know that chasing a werewolf would lead her to a monster's lair.

She let out a delicate shout, and her five-colored wings emitted bursts of divine light, forcing back the werewolf Jill.

The strange horse beneath them quickly retreated, and the teacher in the distance came to meet them.

"Denise, don't rush in like that next time. You can't kill all the dark creatures. Your own life is more important," the teacher said.

"I understand, teacher, but I saw a little girl being grabbed and eaten by an ugly werewolf. I couldn't bear not to intervene," Denise said, sounding somewhat helpless.

My own strength is still too weak!

Not enough, not enough!

I want to be stronger!

"Interesting. So this is a place you can come and go as you please? Let me show you what a wizard is!" Snow White chanted a spell.

Her red lips moved slightly, and she waved an ice-blue wand. In the blink of an eye, ice spikes formed and hurtled towards Denise.

"Although their strength is limited in the mortal realm, this mere legendary knight dares to be so presumptuous; he's simply courting death!"

In the view of most wizards.

Knights are born to serve as servants or laborers to wizards.

The ice spike pierced through the five-colored light, and Denise's expression changed.

The Immovable King Armor blocked the further attacks from the ice spikes.

The immense force nearly knocked Denise off her horse.

"go."

At the command of the Black Bone Wizard, another terrifying ghost servant appeared.

First-circle spell: Summon Wraith!

The ghosts are incredibly fast, and their sharp howls, which directly attack the mind, make them extremely effective against knights.

Soon, the ghost will catch up with Denise.

Just now.

A black figure descended from the sky and crashed to the ground with a loud bang.

The black bull's phantom hooves trampled the ghost underfoot, and the bull's head spewed out a breath of black gas, directly sucking the ghost away.

"tasty."

A knight dressed in jet-black armor, wearing a night-colored cloak and a minotaur mask smiled.

"The Black Knight!"

Andrew ran quickly to the Black Knight's side.

"Andrew, I'm sorry I'm a little late." The Black Knight always arrives late like this.

"I never imagined that there would be such a nest of evil creatures on the outskirts of Flower City."

A crimson light descended from the sky and stood beside the Black Knight.

It was the Blood Knight.

"Two dark wizards and a ghoul." The Blood Knight clenched his fist and then placed his hand on the crimson greatsword.

Denise, who was running away, was stunned when she saw this scene.

"Denise, hurry up!" the teacher urged.

"Teacher, these are... legendary knights, legendary knights like me, no, I feel they are even stronger than me..." Denise said in disbelief.

The teacher's expression changed slightly as she looked over there.

One in black, one in red, two knights, their black and red auras soaring into the sky, as if burning with black and red flames.

"Whose powerful figure is this?" The teacher was well-traveled and knowledgeable, but he had never seen such an extraordinary person.

"I don't know, I suspect... these are the people that Knight Hogger was talking about," Denise murmured.

"Humans, always so nosy." The ghoul nobleman's clothes suddenly tore apart, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a monstrous mass of rotten flesh, the monster resembling a small mountain.

In fact, he is the strongest among them, and his strength is close to that of a second-ring wizard.

"Two wizards, make your move. These two are quite something." A buzzing voice came from within the rotting flesh.

"You don't need to tell me." The Black Bone Wizard and the Snow White Wizard chanted spells together, and more skeletons emerged, ghosts swirled in the sky, and an icy aura permeated the air.

"I'll deal with these two wizards, you take care of the ghoul," the Black Knight said calmly, as he charged forward, the minotaur phantom wielding a chain mace.

The earth was trembling.

boom!

Skeletons were tossed about by grass, and ghosts were crushed by minotaurs.

The frost arrows were knocked away by the chain hammer.

It was only then that the two wild wizards realized something was wrong.

"What... what's going on? The knight is that strong?"

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Let's go!"

The two used their escape techniques to prepare to flee. The minotaur's chain hammer transformed into a giant sword, wreathed in terrifying black flames, turning into a black sword light nearly forty meters long!

The defensive spells surrounding the two wild wizards shattered instantly, and they vanished into thin air under the earth-shattering sword light.

On the other side, in front of the Blood Knight, a pile of mangled flesh had been charred by blood flames.

The Black Knight and the Blood Knight rushed into the mansion's underground, accompanied by cries of agony.

Not long after.

The world fell silent.

"this……"

Denise's teacher was so shocked she was speechless.

Denise herself, being a legendary knight, was no better off.

"Is this a knight? Or is it really not some kind of wizard?" Denise's teacher asked doubtfully.

"Another lair destroyed. The evil creatures have been becoming more and more active lately." The Blood Knight didn't seem particularly excited despite easily annihilating the group of monsters.

"Yes, we can't get in touch with the leader either. We don't know what's going on in the wizarding world. The war between the black and white wizards is very brutal," the Black Knight said worriedly.

"With the captain's strength and personality, he should have no problem surviving," the Blood Knight said.

They came to Andrew's side and glanced at Denise over there.

"Danesh Knight?" the Blood Knight asked.

"Yes, senior, are you a Blood Knight?"

"Um... I used to be, but I'm Anderson now."

"Is that the Black Knight?"

"Hmm." The minotaur behind the Black Knight disappeared, and he said in a low voice.

"I am your admirer, Denise!" Denise said excitedly.

"We shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's go and talk somewhere else," the Blood Knight said.

After clearing the battlefield, they led Denise and her apprentice to a stronghold in Stormwind.

"I didn't expect you two to still be alive..." Denise said.

"They're all just old codgers," the Blood Knight said with self-deprecation.

Actually, they had originally planned to visit the Knight of Light when they had time, and if he was a good person, bring him into the Twilight Temple.

However, they were always busy with their cultivation, and the Divine Light Knights were traveling around, making them difficult to find.

Unexpectedly, we met each other here.

"Do you two... reside overseas?" Denise asked.

How did you know?

"When I was in the Eastern Empire, a legendary knight told me that in the overseas lands, there are knights even more powerful than legends who live in seclusion."

"It's that kid, Knight Hogger, isn't it?"

"Yes, how did you know, senior?"

"Because he's also a member of our organization."

"Senior, I... I also want to join your organization. What are the requirements?" Denise asked directly.

"It will take some time to assess you, but judging from your character and integrity, you should pass the assessment without any problems," the Blood Knight said.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

When Denise finally passed the test, she rode a giant whale to the rarely visited Devil's Sea and saw the island hidden in the mist.

On the island, a magnificent temple stands amidst the mountains.

As the clouds and mist parted, towering mountains and deep valleys were revealed, with babbling streams and flocks of birds taking flight.

Young knights, dressed simply, are training in various ways on the training grounds nestled in the mountains.

"Welcome, Divine Knight... to the Twilight Temple! From now on, you are a member of the Twilight Knights," the Blood Knight said.

"The Knights naturally have a Grand Master. I wonder who our Grand Master is? Is he in the Twilight Temple?" Denise asked.

She guessed that this leader must be the elusive and powerful figure that Hogg had mentioned.

"The commander is no longer among us. He has long since entered a realm beyond our comprehension, paving a wider path for us knights."

If you happen to meet him again in the future, you can call him... the Yakuza Knight!

"Yakuza Knight".

……

The year 1076 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Flowers.

The 40th year of the Great Expedition.

On the endless sea, war raged.

Loess continent.

In Lion City.

Livi awoke from his meditative state.

He held the Klein crystal ball in his hand.

"Mental Strength: 105"

"Spell Power: 4200"

……

"It's getting slower and slower. I need to prepare the materials for the Three-Circle Meditation Aid Potion."

Li Wei muttered to himself.

He does have a potion recipe; it belongs to Rex.

However, among the potion materials left to him by Rex, there were no materials for meditation aids.

The few available materials were all refined into potions by Rex and consumed.

"I'm eighty-six now, speeding towards becoming a centenarian. The first hundred years of my life are drawing to a close."

Li Wei couldn't help but stand up.

After a period of reflection in Lion City.

Li Wei has already mastered the mixed poison true form that Clayer cultivated.

Li Wei——————

Mixed Poison True Form: Tier 4 (1/20000), Special Effect: Mixed Poison (Level 4).

……

According to Clayer's notes.

The fourth-tier Mixed Poison True Body Refinement Technique is already comparable to a first-ring Body Refinement Wizard, which is a legendary knight.

"Why does this body-refining technique seem so easy for me..." Li Wei wondered.

Logically speaking, even if I have a proficiency panel and good talent, I shouldn't be able to cultivate so quickly.

You should know that this is Clayer's prized method, and it took him nearly a hundred years to cultivate it to the sixth level.

Li Wei, in less than two years, had already cultivated this to the fourth level.

"The only explanation is probably that my knight level is too high, so practicing similar body-refining techniques is not difficult for me at all."

With a thought, black venom surged from Li Wei's body, enveloping him.

These asphalt-like swarms of highly toxic substances have now been completely tamed by Li Wei and have become part of his power without him experiencing any discomfort.

"A symbiote?" Li Wei murmured.

Venomous microorganisms continuously condensed at his fingertips, transforming into a black blade.

He turned on the special effects on the proficiency panel.

[Mixed Toxins (Level 4): Your body possesses a unique mixture of toxins, the effects of which increase with the number of different types of toxins absorbed.]

"It's similar to my Crimson Poison Body. I wonder if this thing can be integrated with my Crimson Dragon Breathing Technique..."

Li Wei looked at the Crimson Dragon Breathing Technique, but so far there was no response.

"These are all methods of body refinement. We can't combine them now, but we should be able to in the future," Li Wei muttered to himself.

Anyway, learning this mixed poison true form is not difficult, and he plans to practice it as well in the future.

Moreover, even if they cannot be integrated.

If the True Body of the Mixed Poison were to cultivate to the level of Clayer, it would be extremely powerful.

Combined with his cultivation level as a senior wizard of the third ring, he can be considered a top-tier expert below the fourth ring.

"It's time to leave. Staying in the outer ring area makes it difficult to make progress," Li Wei said with some emotion.

He has now basically reached the top level of combat power in the outer ring. Leaving aside those fourth-ring wizards, he is enough to be king and dominate.

Unfortunately, this is still far from enough.

"Even elemental spirit wizards perish, so what right do I have to be complacent?"

Li Wei recalled the high-ranking wizard who escaped only as a primordial spirit during the war.

"Now, my way of the knight is still missing the most crucial and important power dimension of four-in-one integration. The difficulty of four-in-one integration lies in the Kui Beast Breathing Technique."

The Kui Beast Breathing Technique requires extraordinary creatures containing the bloodlines of musk oxen and ostriches, which seems impossible to find in the outer ring area now; we may have to search in the inner ring sea.

Then there are the extraordinary creatures with the Phoenix bloodline. The Black Flame Demon Bird, which isn't even a link in the chain, is completely incapable of supporting my cultivation of the Death Breathing Technique.

In addition, the Sky Dragon has the three-ring creature Wind and Thunder Wyvern, the Crimson Dragon has the level two vampire Skearin, and the Golden Serpent has Gustav and Triceratops King Beast, which is enough for them to train.

The outer sea area is simply too barren.

This was the limit of what Li Wei had been able to collect.

Another reason we had to leave the outer sea area was magic.

Although Li Wei is already a third-ring cultivator, the spells he uses are still second-ring, with only the Extreme Ice Sword Finger being a third-ring spell.

He did obtain three third-circle spells from Clayer, but apart from the Water Curtain Prison, which was so-so, he didn't like the others.

Studying is also a waste of your brain's memory.

The structure of third-level spells is extremely large and complex, and learning them is far more difficult than learning lower-level spells.

Even if Li Wei could synthesize it using low-level spells, the prerequisite is that Li Wei has a vast database of low-level spells; otherwise, it would be like a skilled cook trying to make a meal without ingredients.

Creating his own spells would require a lot of time, and time is exactly what Li Wei lacks right now. He can only start creating spells when he is powerful enough and has almost escaped his survival crisis.

Li Wei doesn't even have a single innate spell or a third-ring defensive force field.

The materials for the potion used to purify the golden alien insects may also need to be found in the inner ring.

"It's time to leave."

He told the furry people to pack their things and prepare to move.

……

Golden Lion Castle.

"Lord Levi, I don't know when we will meet again after this parting. We are afraid that we can never repay the great kindness you have shown to the Golden Lion family in this lifetime..." Leon said, tears streaming down his face.

Damn it, with such a powerful backer, he's about to leave Lion King City. How could he not cry?

"Lord Leon, please don't take it to heart. I have long been grateful for the care your family has provided. I believe that if you treat others with sincerity, you will find friends everywhere. The family left behind by the Lionheart Knight is no ordinary family. I wish the Golden Lion family a prosperous and long-lasting future!" Li Wei said.

"Senior, I won't trouble you any further. I will work hard in my cultivation. If you ever need me in the Inner Ring Sea in the future, Dinos Joestar will be there to answer your call," Dinos said solemnly.

"No problem. I hope you grow up soon. See you again in the inner ring sea area."

Li Wei said.

After that, he left the Golden Lion family.

"Captain, try out my newly mastered martial arts technique."

Emperor Mu descended from the sky, clasping his hands together to gather power, a terrifying golden aura brewing within.

Li Wei smiled slightly and raised his hand to strike.

Emperor Mu was sent flying backwards and landed on the sea in front of him.

Emperor Mu emerged from the sea and said, "Although I failed, I still have to reveal the name of this move."

"What's your name?"

"Ape King's Aura Palm!"

"Isn't it just vibrating your bloodline power at high speed in your palms to form an air cannon?" Li Wei chuckled.

"Yes... as expected of the commander, sigh." Emperor Mu was discouraged.

"How about we change it to a nicer name?" Li Wei said with a playful smile.

"What name? Commander, you tell me. I'm terrible at naming things, so I'll have to rely on you. You're a cultured person," Mu Di asked expectantly.

"Kamehameha!"

After Li Wei finished speaking, he waved his robe, and a griffin flew over. He mounted the griffin and soared high into the sky.

"I hope that when we meet again, you will have reached the level I have reached. I have a feeling that the era of the Twilight Knights has begun."

Emperor Mu gazed at the vanished commander.

"Kamehameha... No, 'turtle' doesn't sound good. I'm the Holy Ape, from now on I'll be called: Holy Ape Qigong!"

……

The year 1076 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of Blazing Fire.

Wailing City.

Nearly twenty years have passed since the power struggle in Stromgarde.

Twenty years is enough time for dynasties to rise and fall in the human world, but in the wizarding world, it is just a period of time that is neither too long nor too short.

Afterwards, Lady Blue Dragon brought Soret's usurpation of power to the Wizarding Inquisition.

It went through a long trial process and overcame numerous obstacles.

The final verdict was that it was a "misunderstanding".

Soret mistakenly believed that Lady Blue Dragon was harboring a demon, which is understandable why he took action.

Of course, Soret's actions were against the rules in any way.

The court then ordered Soret to pay a huge fine, deprive him of his political rights for one hundred years, and ultimately granted him a ten-year suspended sentence.

This left Ms. Blue Dragon feeling utterly powerless.

How could a mere Five-Ring Thunder Dragon Clan possess such extraordinary abilities in the Inner Ring Sea?

This was enough to cause the Wizarding Inquisition to render unjust judgments.

It must have been the forces behind the Lei Long family that protected him.

Although indignant, Lady Blue Dragon was helpless, and the Dragonborn Order could not possibly interfere in the internal affairs of the Endless Sea.

Besides, although the Dragon School is full of elites, it is only a niche faction and is nothing compared to the Ocean School.

Fortunately, the Wizarding Inquisition ultimately stripped Soret of his political rights for a hundred years, meaning that Soret would not be eligible to run for any official position in the Tower of Stars or any official organization of the Wizarding Council for a century.

Soret then returned to the Thunder Dragon Clan and focused his energy on the family. Now he is the patriarch of the Thunder Dragon Clan, and his status remains high.

Moreover, with his cultivation level and talent, he has a good chance of advancing to the Elemental Soul Wizard level in the future.

A hundred years is nothing to a Five Rings Wizard or a Soul Wizard.

The mansion at No. 80, Central District.

It is now a ruin.

During the civil war, this place was involved and razed to the ground. The original owner had no intention of continuing to repair it, so it was left idle.

The apothecary tower next to it was also rebuilt after the war.

Over the course of twenty years.

Nearly a third of the pharmacists have been lost.

Outside the Tower of Apothecaries, there hangs a list of apothecaries who have either sacrificed their lives or gone missing.

An ordinary-looking middle-aged man with white hair stared blankly at the list above.

[Second Ring Pharmacist Green: From the Ninth District of the Outer Ring, ID number... Confirmed dead via the Soul Jade, awarded Third Class Military Merit.]

[Second-Ring Pharmacist Tomman: ...Death has been confirmed via the Soul Jade; awarded third-class military merit.]

[Li Wei, a pharmacist from the Second Ring Road: from the Ninth District of the Outer Ring Road, ID number... suspected of being missing, declared dead through proper procedures, and awarded a second-class military merit.]

[Haffman, the Third Ring Pharmacist: From the First Outer Ring District, a halfling, number... confirmed dead, awarded First Class Military Merit.]

"Damn it, what's the use of awarding military merit when the man is dead?"

Li Wei watched all of this in silence.

"So that's why I haven't received any notice about my military service for so long, they thought I was dead..."

"When I received the official wizard notification, I did not have my spiritual imprint recorded in the Soul Jade, so the military should not have been able to determine whether I was truly dead."

But here it shows I'm dead... most likely Huffman did it, to fake my death and escape the conflict that's sweeping the city.

Li Wei murmured to himself.

"Green and Tomman are probably really dead. They both had their marks recorded on the Soul Jade, so the authorities could know immediately if they died."

But what's the use? We are as insignificant as dust, and even if the big shots knew you were dead, they wouldn't care.

Huffman, thank you. But in this messed-up era, I'm too weak to avenge you. I hope you won't hate me in the underworld.

Of course, if I survive to the end and my fists are strong enough, I will find all the people who killed you and then crush those big shots to death!

Of course, you old man, you'd better fake your death too!

Li Wei was initially worried that he might be arrested and sent back for evading military service.

In retrospect, Huffman had already taken care of everything for himself.

Thinking of that shrewd and stingy halfling, Li Wei felt a mix of emotions.

He glanced at the mansions of the big shots in the upper district, clenched his fists, and his veins bulged.

He then took a deep breath, turned around, and strode away.

Now that I've confirmed my death, there's no point in staying in this Stromgarde City anymore.

Li Wei glanced at his membership card.

He remains the White Wizard and a member of the Gray Tower.

The information above is from a long time ago and has not been updated in a long time.

"Perhaps because of the war, the membership card system has become a mere formality? How will we distinguish between black wizards and non-black wizards in the future?" Li Wei thought with some emotion.

Of course, it's also possible that only his membership card has a problem.

In short, Li Wei is currently in a very peculiar state.

He walks the line between black and white wizards. In the military's eyes, he is a dead man, and he may need a new identity and a change of appearance in the future.

Fearing being recognized by some familiar powerful figures, Li Wei did not linger in Stromgarde City.

He took out a sea chart, randomly selected the location of the wizard market in the inner ring sea area closest to him, and flew forward like a drifting catkin in the wind.

"The goal for the next century is to survive and then become stronger."

14000 words today, plus 8000 extra words, 0 words owed.

The missed updates for February have been paid off.

Today I'll tally up the backlog of updates before March 20th, and I'll start making up for it early starting tomorrow.
