Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 277 Hell! (Long chapter, please vote and subscribe!)

A two-year special campaign was launched.

Working day and night, burning the midnight oil.

Abundant resources and financial investment, as well as countless hours of hard work.

Li Wei finally mastered the most difficult magic array skill to cultivate, reaching the fourth level!

After reaching the fourth ring, he kept thinking about how to upgrade and iterate this three-ring magic array based on the [Glory of the Four Kings], and promote it to the fourth ring magic array.

After all, this magic array had taken a lot of his time and effort to create, and it would be a great pity to abandon it and replace it with a new four-ring magic array.

Since our predecessors were able to create a four-ring magic array.

Li Wei himself is a fourth-circle magic array wizard, so it's not impossible for him to upgrade from a third-circle to a fourth-circle magic array wizard!

His plan was to add three major mutated elemental arrays—thunder, frost, and metal—to the existing four kings of earth, fire, wind, and water, so that the new seven kings could be perfectly integrated.

After this idea emerged, Li Wei began to conduct research and experiments like crazy.

During this period, nearly a million Tai Shi were spent, enough to buy a top-grade fourth-ring witch artifact.

Such an investment is unthinkable for most fourth-ring wizards.

In other words, Li Wei had enough financial resources to support his idea.

In addition, his extensive theoretical knowledge and practical experience in magic arrays enabled him to achieve this goal.

The Seven Kings' Hell!

This represents the highest level of Li Wei's magic array at this stage.

Any one of the rings can be used as a simple four-ring magic array, and the seven four-ring magic arrays can be linked together. The power of this is terrifying to Li Wei.

Let alone a fourth-ring wizard, even if that fifth-ring crypt wizard from last time came to break in again, Li Wei wouldn't need to lift a finger.

This magic array can destroy it!

That's Li Wei's confidence!

Apart from Levi, most other wizards in the wizarding world practice a single school of thought.

Whether it's the Burning faction or the Ocean faction.

Regardless of which faction of wizards they belong to, they have all come to this Hell of the Seven Kings.

There's always a "hell" that can restrain him.

The interaction of elements, both generating and restraining each other, is applied to the extreme here.

The seven hells are:

Rolling Stone Hell, Fire Hell, Wind Blade Hell, Dead Sea Hell, Ice Hell, Thunder Hell, Knife Mountain Hell!

Its name and design were inspired by the eighteen levels of hell from Livy's previous life.

He felt that in the future, as his knowledge of magic arrays improved...

There is still room for improvement in these Seven Kings' Hells.

Sooner or later, he will transform the legendary eighteen levels of hell from his previous life into his own gatekeeping formation.

Want to steal my house? Then you'll have to go through hell first!

"Furthermore, if I encounter a fifth-ring wizard whom I can't defeat in the future, I can lure them into this Seven Kings Hell. Using the power of the magic array, I believe I can even fight a true fifth-ring wizard!"

Li Wei was very confident.

This magic array is too powerful; it's practically a winning formula for overcoming the strong with the weak!

"However, there are still some areas where the Seven Kings' Hell needs improvement. The key positions of the seven hells require seven corresponding guardians to preside over the key positions and make them more powerful!"

The Thorn Hell has Bo Gang, the Fiery Hell has the Poisonous Fire Corpse Demon, and the other five hells are still missing five guardians. We'll collect them slowly later.

Extraordinary beings like Raja are certainly capable of serving as guardians.

However, these items are related to his knight's secret medicine, and if they are killed or kidnapped by the enemy, he will suffer a great loss.

Even if the magic circle is gone, Li Wei can rebuild it.

Raja is gone... so he may not be able to find a replacement for a long time.

This matter requires careful consideration.

"The magic circle guardian is just icing on the cake, not a necessity. Its current power is already sufficient."

The most useful guardians are actually the fourth-ring wizards from various factions. It's frustrating that I don't have enough Crimson Pact slots...

If all else fails, I can use the Exorcism Sword to capture a few laborers later. I'm now a fourth-ring wizard, and with a contract with a fourth-ring wizard, I shouldn't suffer any backlash.

Back to the Imperial Palace.

Li Wei did not rest.

In his secret chamber stood a tall and imposing figure in crimson blood.

The figure's face was obscured, and it was covered in scarlet scales formed from congealed blood.

On its back, elbows, and head, there are hideous blood spikes protruding.

On his back, he carried a blood-red bow and a blood-red greatsword!

This is a corpse demon that Li Wei improved and refined himself, which took several years.

The raw materials came from an ancient sage, but have since been completely altered.

He called it the "Blood Armor Corpse Demon".

Because it was forged from the body of an ancient saint, the Blood Armor Corpse Demon's defensive power is superior to that of the Poison Fire Corpse Demon.

However, compared to the Poison Fire Corpse Demon, it lacks the ability of poison fire.

However, the three blood artifacts that Li Wei refined into it made up for the lack of attack methods!

The spikes on the surface of the Blood Armor Corpse Demon are Blood Forbidden Cones, which can be launched outwards.

The Moonlight Greatsword on his back is a melee attack weapon.

Bloodfeather Bow, for ranged attacks.

These three blood weapons were constantly devouring blood and causing carnage on Li Wei's side, and they were already at the peak of the third-level blood weapons.

If there were remains of level four vampires, once Li Wei's weapon refining reached the fourth level, he was even confident that he could re-refine these blood weapons and advance them to level four.

In that way, the Blood Armor Corpse Demon's attack power can be further enhanced.

Li Wei went to great lengths to refine this external object.

Actually, it was also in preparation for entering the Dark Tower.

These inanimate puppets are allowed to be brought in.

Of course, the thing that controls the undead, like Gilmore, cannot be brought in. However, the most crucial element of the undead is this physical body.

Once the bodies are inside, Li Wei can find a way to make them move within the Dark Tower.

"Next, to control this blood-armored corpse demon, we need to refine a spirit-like undead creature into it, making it the corpse demon's...soul!"

Otherwise, the corpse demon would not be able to act on its own.

Fortunately, Levi was prepared for summoning hellish creatures.

A long time ago, he specifically learned a summoning spell from the Hell School for this purpose.

With his current strength, summoning undead from the fourth ring of hell shouldn't be a problem.

Summon it, capture it alive, and refine it into the corpse demon's body.

"However, this is my first time summoning a hellish creature, so I need to make some preparations to avoid any unexpected situations."

He found a deserted valley and began setting up a magic array inside.

"Four-Ring Magic Array - Demon's Cage. A small magic array, easy to set up and portable. It is a control-type magic array, originally developed for the bloody battle against the Abyss. Capturing those hellish creatures is no problem."

This magic array was one of the few four-ring magic arrays he possessed, and it was also one of his trump cards for entering the Dark Tower later.

This small-scale magic array is certainly not as powerful as a giant magic array like the Seven Kings' Hell. That kind of giant magic array can only operate by relying on the elemental power that is free in the world; otherwise, relying on the Tai Shi would consume an extremely large amount of energy. Therefore, it has requirements for the terrain and environment.

The Demon Cage, on the other hand, can be quickly deployed during combat.

Moreover, it only requires the consumption of Tai Stones to operate.

After setting up the magic circle, Levi had Miraa, Raja, Phoenix, and the Body Refining Avatar - Golden Voodoo Body all take up positions in the four directions of the magic circle.

This kind of display certainly gave the other party a lot of face.

"Fourth Ring Spell: Summon Necromancer! This spell allows you to communicate with a necromancer from the first four levels of Hell. If there is a mutual choice, the necromancer can become the necromancer companion of a sorcerer of the Death School and fight for him. The sorcerer, in turn, needs to provide a corresponding price."

Otherwise, at best the next summoning won't succeed; at worst, some stubborn undead from hell will turn against the wizard.

In short, you can't get something for nothing.

"Nine levels of hell, each corresponding to a link in the wizard's chain. The deeper you go, the stronger the hellish creatures become. My spell won't affect the fourth level or later, so it should be safe..."

Legend has it that at the very bottom of the nine levels of hell, there is a legendary tenth level, the deepest part of hell.

It is also the entrance to the "Underworld," which is comparable to the Astral Realm.

Location of the "Gateway to the Underworld".

The entrance is guarded by underworld gatekeepers comparable to the gods.

From a common sense perspective...

Whether they are wizards, mortals, or other beings from multiple dimensions.

After death, except for a very few souls that are guided by the gods to the kingdom of the gods.

The other souls will descend along the nine levels of hell and enter the "Netherworld Mother River," which governs reincarnation and death, through the "Gates of the Underworld."

In the Mother River, all the memories of this life in the soul will be washed away by the river water.

A brand new true spirit is born and randomly reincarnated into multiple dimensions.

This is a rule that is just like the laws of nature.

The underworld is mostly neutral and objective, and it does not get involved in any conflicts.

Therefore, it is extremely mysterious, and wizards have very limited understanding of it.

After all, aside from the dead... wizards have a hard time getting into the underworld.

"Let's begin. If there's any potential danger, immediately stop the summoning. Summoning spells have been tested by the wizarding civilization for so long; accidents are generally unlikely!"

After everything is ready

Li Wei chanted the incantation.

Then he closed his eyes.

……

The fourth level of hell.

Four pale suns hung in the sky, exuding an aura of death.

On the earth, bizarre and grotesque undead spirits lurk.

The undead in hell primarily feed on the death energy that roams freely in hell, which is also a form of negative energy.

If they're lucky, they can also prey on souls lost in hell.

A battle is unfolding in the wilderness.

A skeletal knight, riding a skeletal warhorse, led a group of skeletal minions, including skeleton swordsmen and skeleton archers, in a fierce battle against a dragon with a wingspan of tens of meters, covered in rotting, stinking flesh.

Both the Undead Knight and the Rotten Wyvern are powerful third-ring creatures.

The monsters on the fourth floor are also elite monsters.

And on the plain not far away, there is a castle.

Inside the castle, there was a motley crew of undead. The undead knight from before looked to be one of them.

On the battlements, a "Hooked Demon," dressed in noble attire, entirely black, with goat horns and a scorpion tail, was watching the distant battle with great interest.

As the demon lord of this [Black Sand Ridge].

Count Salin's daily pleasure was watching his men fight those foolish undead creatures, letting these lowly undead kill each other.

The inhabitants of hell are divided into two types.

One type is undead creatures, such as undead skeletons, ghostly necromancers, and so on. Undead knights and rotting dragons belong to this category; they are the main force of summoned creatures by the Necromancers.

Among the souls from various dimensions who are sent to Hell and the Underworld, some will stay in the Hell dimension due to special circumstances. By chance, they become "Hell spirits." Over time, the number of spirits has increased and they are now spread throughout Hell.

Another type is the nobles of hell, the true natives, and the administrators of the nine levels of hell:

They are devils!

The first and second levels of hell are ruled by lesser demons.

The third to fifth floors are occupied by the Demon Lords, who are further divided into Barons, Earls, and Dukes.

After the sixth level, one reaches the Grand Duke, comparable to a Soul Wizard, and is extremely dangerous.

Unlike the chaotic and disorderly demons who only know how to destroy.

Demons are inherently evil, yet they abide by what they perceive as order and rules.

They are cunning, insidious, and adept at bewitching people. They like to use this method to gradually corrupt a kind person, especially some... respectable women.

The first law of summoning magic in the School of Death: "Never attempt to summon a demon, or to make a pact with a demon! Not even a seemingly harmless little demon!"

In the passageway of Earl Salin's castle.

The walls were covered with colorful oil paintings, each depicting a beautiful woman with a different appearance. Some were talking, while others were combing their hair, creating a very eerie atmosphere. These were the "Paintings of the Dead" collected by the Earl.

At the end of the corridor, in a pink boudoir, a female necromancer dressed in palace attire, exuding a mature charm and elegance, was dressing up and looking in the mirror.

Judging from her aura, she's at least at the fourth-tier level.

This is Count Salin's wife, whose catchphrase is "How boring!" Count Salin's men secretly call her "Lady Bored."

Bored Mrs.

He was once an ordinary undead lord on the fourth level.

She was later taken in by Count Salin, who captured her and made her his wife.

Many of the fourth-level demon lords knew that although Count Salin was treacherous and cunning, he genuinely loved this lowly undead creature.

The lady gently stroked her ethereal, spiritual face with her delicate hand.

Pale, bloodless, and reeking of decay.

If a wizard with high mental strength looked at it, the person in the mirror would not see a beautiful woman at all.

Instead, it was a female corpse with drooping eyeballs that had fallen out of their sockets, its entire body red, like a skinned corpse... but it looked to have a pretty good figure.

"I'm so bored."

The lady loosened the sash that bound her skirt, and suddenly looked in the mirror and sighed, her voice mournful.

"Then why not make it my summoned creature?" Just then, a steady voice rang in her mind.

"Are you a wizard?" the lady asked. As a fourth-circle undead creature, her intelligence was no different from that of ordinary people. She also knew that many undead would make contracts with wizards, and some would never return...

"That's right, you're very smart," the magnetic voice continued.

"But I have a husband. If Count Salin finds out, he will be angry. He never allows me to leave the castle, nor does he allow me to sign a contract with a wizard. He says that wizards are despicable and cunning, and in terms of evil, even the devil is ashamed of himself!" the lady said.

"I only summon you occasionally to fight for me... After it's over, you can come back here. I don't think Count Salin will find out."

In return, I will bestow upon you the most delicious soul crystals. For you hellish creatures, I think this price should already demonstrate my sincerity... There may be evil wizards in this world, but I am not." The voice said, filled with an alluring aura.

"Hmm...that sounds really good. I also want to go out and see the world."

The lady was somewhat tempted.

Souls are the food that she and most undead creatures crave most.

The more and higher the quality of the souls they devour, the faster their strength increases.

Count Salin was extremely controlling. In order to control her power, he never provided her with a soul, fearing that his wife would become like a wild horse that could never be pulled back.

"So, madam? Would you be willing to become my summoned creature? My time is limited."

The lady got up and slowly opened the window.

Her husband, Count Salin, has left the castle.

It looks like he's gone to a gathering with other demon lords.

The lady also wanted to participate, but the count refused her every time.

The count said this was a gathering of the upper-class demons, and it was inappropriate for an ordinary undead creature like you to go. You should just stay at home and wait for me to return.

She was dissatisfied, but dared not say it.

Without Count Salin, on this fourth level, she might have been captured by other demon lords and used as a laborer, or devoured by other powerful undead creatures.

In a strange space.

Li Wei stared intently at the hideous, grotesque female undead in the castle.

"What a peculiar feeling, as if she and I are in different dimensions, yet we can communicate. The summoning time is almost up, and if this woman doesn't agree, my summoning will fail..."

The summoning spell allows Li Wei's consciousness to randomly descend to a specific area on a certain level; this is beyond his control.

Once the summoning is successful and a contract is signed, the wizard can summon undead creatures to fight at any time without having to go through all this trouble.

This fourth-ring summoned necromancer has only one contract slot.

During this time, Li Wei's consciousness searched for the nearest spirit in this magical space. If he didn't actively communicate with them, those spirits wouldn't discover him.

"The undead creatures in this area are mostly bone dragons and skeleton knights; there aren't many spirit creatures. I hope it works on the first try."

Inside the castle, the lady watched the count's disappearing figure and recalled the wizard's words.

"Perhaps it's time for me to experience a new life. As long as I get back to the castle before the Earl returns, he won't find out. He rarely cares what I really want to do..."

Think about this.

The lady gazed into the void, her eyes filled with a distant, wistful light, a hint of expectation in them.

"I'm willing... Take me with you, shouldn't we sign some kind of contract?"

In the void, a blood-red six-pointed star magic circle appeared.

"Undead! Fight for me, and I will provide you with enough souls as a price!" the wizard said calmly.

"OK."

The next moment, the six-pointed star shone brightly.

A suction force came from it.

this day.

The lady left the quiet castle, intending to pursue an exciting life. That way, people wouldn't call her "the boring lady" anymore.

But she didn't know that this departure would be forever...

A six-pointed star array appeared in the void before Li Wei's eyes.

A phantom spirit, emanating the aura of the fourth ring, appeared.

"Who is summoning me?"

The lady asked, her face full of anticipation.

"it's me."

Before the lady stood a tall, imposing human man, even stronger than Count Salin. He wore a sorcerer's robe and had a calm expression.

"This is not quite the wizard I imagined..." the lady said with amusement, unaware of the seriousness of the matter.

The man smiled, clapped his hands, and then the magic array shone brightly, enveloping the lady within it.

"What...what are you doing?"

"Don't worry, Madam, I will keep the contract. I won't kill you. I just don't want you to go back to that boring life. But forget about that count. Follow me, and you'll have a bright future!"

Crimson flames erupted from that massive body!

A war god, entwined with a golden snake and with his cloak billowing, came wielding a sword!

At the same time, a series of auras that made the lady wary surged in from all directions.

Miraja, Raja, Phoenix...

With Li Wei's thorough preparation, the bewildered lady was directly pinned to the ground.

Her spirit struggled incessantly. Li Wei, his large hand swirling with blood energy, seized her.

As usual, Li Wei had to check for any tracking marks, lest he be targeted by that devilish count.

Upon inspection, Li Wei discovered that it was indeed true; he had infiltrated the spirit body with blood mist particles.

The illusory lady had a strange expression. After Li Wei entered her body, her spiritual body turned red, and her face became extremely red.

It's unclear whether it was from being stained red by the blood mist or from her own shyness.

After much effort, Li Wei discovered a phantom soul imprint of a scorpion-tailed, ram-horned demon pattern within the spirit body.

Hellish demons typically brand their lowly hellish creatures with this mark to indicate which lord's property they belong to, serving as a symbol of ownership.

"The Barbed Demon... This count's bloodline is quite noble; I'll have to be more careful in the future."

Livy released the other armored scorpions from Alice's Ring, letting them try to devour the mark.

The demonic pattern opened its mouth and let out a ferocious howl, causing some of the armored scorpions to die instantly.

However, as more and more armored scorpions swarmed in, it was gradually devoured.

"It's alright. I'll be counting on you guys while Lyon is asleep."

Li Wei put the plump, scorpion back in its place.

After the soul imprint disappeared, the lady felt that some kind of shackles that had bound her body had suddenly vanished.

At this moment, she was like a wild horse galloping across the lush green grassland, and she was not so resistant to Li Wei's actions anymore!

She lay quietly on the ground, no longer struggling.

Take this opportunity.

The Blood Armored Corpse Demon was released by Li Wei, and a strange blood-red magic circle shone brightly on it.

Li Wei recited the final incantation for the corpse demon's creation.

"The Soul Returns!"

A tremendous suction force emanated from the Blood Armor Corpse Demon.

Immediately afterwards, the lady transformed into a crimson ray of light and surged into it.

Li Wei immediately began refining it.

afterwards.

The blood-armored corpse demon lying on the ground suddenly stood up.

"What's going on? Where am I? Who am I?"

"You are the Blood Lady, my servant," Li Wei said calmly.

Authentic corpse demons are all made in this way, with the final step using a spirit-like hellish undead as its soul. Of course, this is not very friendly to the undead.

"Lady Blood...I am Lady Blood!"

As the blood-armored corpse demon murmured, its form shifted, and its bones crackled.

Then, a female corpse demon, entirely crimson, with a slender, curvaceous figure, blood-spikes covering her chest and back, wielding a blood-red greatsword and carrying a longbow, knelt before Li Wei.

"Owner!"

Li Wei dismissed Lady Blood.

This blood-armored corpse demon has now been completely successfully crafted.

He turned and left the imperial palace, flying towards the human world.

……

The fourth level of hell.

Blood Forest Ridge.

The trees here are blood red, like bloody arms.

Deep in the forest, there is a blood-red lake.

In the middle of the lake, a towering, rugged castle stands a hundred feet high.

This is the castle of the Duke of Blood Lake, the most powerful demon in this region, equivalent to a fifth-circle wizard.

Generally speaking, demons of this level should be in the deeper parts of hell, but some always remain in the upper levels for various reasons.

Inside the castle hall.

The Duke of Blood Lake is hosting a devil's feast.

The long table was laden with all sorts of delicious food:

Steamed human brain, wine made with vengeful spirits, fried eyeballs, nine-turn intestines...

Count Salin sat to one side, chatting and laughing with the other counts.

Duke of Blood Lake is a demon who is over five meters tall, with a ferocious pig's head and exposed fangs.

After slurping up the large intestine and drinking some bloody wine, he said, "Everyone, I've invited you all here not just to enjoy the delicious food, as you all know."

The Nora plane, the world where the wizards reside, has already intersected with the Blue Frost plane, and the army of the Blue Frost Lord has begun to infiltrate Nora.

Now, some of the devils deep in hell can no longer sit still and want to send some people to the human world to participate in this gluttonous feast.

"Fortunately, I, the Duke, have been chosen. I have already made a deal with a fifth-circle wizard of the Death School; she will use magic to summon us to the mortal realm. I wonder, among you, is there anyone willing to go with me?"

After the Duke of Blood Lake finished speaking, he looked at the counts.

"Your Grace, our demonic bodies are different from those lowly undead; we can't stay away from Hell for too long. How can we solve this?" Earl Red Fang asked.

"Don't worry, according to the terms of my deal with that fifth-circle wizard, she needs to prepare the appropriate [human host] for us as the vessel for our descent."

"With those frail human bodies as human hosts, we can't fully unleash our power," Count Salin said.

"She will choose as many bodies as possible from knights and wizards in the human world who focus on body refinement to create vessels for our demon army. In this way, although our strength is still not as good as in Hell, it won't be too much different."

Gentlemen, we are devils, unlike those simple-minded demons. With your abilities, you would be like fish in water in Nora.

"Right now, the wizards in Nora are all in the Warp. We are heading to the mortal realm. Apart from the Church and a few wizards, no one is our match," Duke Blood Lake said confidently.

"I see." Count Salin said thoughtfully. "However, as everyone knows, the two most despicable and cunning groups in the multiverse are the devils and the wizards... I'm worried that the fifth-circle wizard is making a deal with us, that it's detrimental to us, and that he has ulterior motives."

"Indeed, wizards are too cunning, especially those wizards of the school of death. They often trick the lowly undead in my territory into doing hard labor for them, and we can't do anything about it!" Earl Red Fang complained.

"Don't worry, I have a plan," Duke Blood Lake said with a smile, confident in his abilities.

"Now, everyone, please state your opinions. Those who are willing to come with me, raise your hands. Those who are not..." The Duke of Blood Lake's voice gradually turned cold, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"I'll go," said Earl Red Fang.

"I...I'll go too!"

The other earls all expressed their support, so how could they dare not go?

Only Earl Salin looked somewhat hesitant.

He was different from the other earls; he was of noble status and powerful, making him the number one among the earls attending the banquet!

He is the son of a demon prince on the sixth floor!

Therefore, he was not particularly afraid of even the Duke of Blood Lake.

Suddenly, one of his men sent him a message.

After reading the message, Count Salin's face darkened.

He looked at the Duke of Blood Lake and said slowly, "I'll go too."

Upon hearing that Shalin was also going, the Duke of Blood Lake couldn't help but applaud.

"As expected of the Red-Haired Duke's son, this journey to the mortal realm will surely be fruitful, yielding countless delicious souls. You too can become a duke soon, leave this godforsaken fourth level, and return to the Duke's side!"

Because he had something on his mind, Count Salin remained absent-minded throughout the subsequent banquet.

He hurried back to Black Sand Ridge and entered the castle.

"Where is Madam?" he asked in a cold voice.

"My lord... Madam, Madam is missing," a third-ringed undead maidservant said in a trembling voice.

"So many of you? And you couldn't even keep an eye on one person? Has anyone come to the castle since I left?!" the count demanded.

"No... absolutely not!" On the city wall, undead appeared, their faces filled with fear.

"On this fourth floor, apart from the dukes and a very small number of undead lords, no one can sneak into my castle without a sound."

Just as I suspected, there's only one possibility for the lady's disappearance! That damned wizard!

Normally, after a wizard summons an undead, the undead will return to the underworld on its own.

Therefore, the lady should not have disappeared for so long.

In this situation, it must be the witch doctor over there who is causing trouble and forcibly detained the lady!

"However, judging from the soul tablet left by the lady, she is not dead... She must have been imprisoned by a wizard. I have placed a soul mark on her, so when I go to the mortal world, I will be able to sense her location through the mark... At that time, I will let that wizard know how foolish it is to steal the devil's private property!"

……

Twilight Temple.

Li Wei's figure appeared here.

With a slight sense, he discovered that Andrew was reading a book inside the Temple of Knowledge. The table was covered with dense notes.

When Andrew finished reading the book and left the temple, he saw the commander waiting there. He immediately stood up straight and greeted him!

"Not bad, in just two or three years you've already become a mid-level wizard apprentice... It seems your training hasn't fallen behind," Li Wei said with a smile.

"Thanks entirely to the leader's support, after becoming a wizard, with the growth of my mental strength, I feel that my mind is more acute and active than before. No wonder wizards are so powerful," Andrew said.

"How is the progress of the Bloodline Dharma Body?" Li Wei asked.

"I've already reached the peak of the second level of cultivation, and I can now separate my blood and qi from my body. The next step is to condense my bloodline dharma body." Andrew was as serious as a student reporting on their homework.

Li Wei casually picked out a first-ring witch artifact from his storage bag.

"With your strength, you can barely use a first-level magical artifact. Take it for self-defense. Remember, only by staying alive can anything be possible," he said meaningfully.

"Thank you, Commander... but I have no corresponding price to offer in exchange," Andrew said, flattered.

"The price is to become a legendary knight or a formal wizard as soon as possible. I have high hopes for you, young man!" Levi patted Andrew on the shoulder and turned to leave.

In the training grounds of the Five Colors Palace, Denise is sparring with Dinos in combat techniques.

Denise's five-colored blood aura was dazzling and brilliant, while Dinos's golden blood aura was majestic and imposing!

In the end, Dinos came out on top.

"Just a little bit more, and I'll be able to achieve Blood Thirst Perfection..." Dinos sighed.

"There's no need to rush," Li Wei's voice came.

"Greetings, Commander!" the two said in unison.

"Have you found any promising talents over the years?" Li Wei asked.

"We found one with dual elemental affinity, and he's also a Grand Knight. The other prospects are all lacking in talent," Dinos said.

"These exceptional talents should be given special training. Also, secretly take care of Andrew. His talent must not be wasted. He will be of great use to our temple when he grows up!" Li Wei said.

"clear!"

Leave the Twilight Temple.

Li Wei was in a good mood.

The world has been in chaos these past few years, but the temple has been able to remain largely uninvolved.

Because the Temple's main policy at this stage is to recuperate and develop quietly, and never participate in any conflicts.

Once the core members, including the Black Knight, have advanced to Bloodborne Knights, they can gradually begin to take center stage.

He flew towards the mainland, where the Rose Witch, whom he hadn't contacted in a long time, needed to speak with him.

The Peacock Kingdom.

A small seaside town.

Inside a private room at the Shining Tavern.

Li Wei met the Rose Witch.

After many years, she still looks the same, though she appears slightly haggard.

"It's good to see you're still alive..." said the Rose Witch.

"What's wrong, ma'am?"

Do you remember Olof?

"I remember that fourth-circle magic array wizard, he was a really nice guy."

Li Wei said.

Orlov had tried to stop Barzan from killing him, but Barzan managed to scare him off by using the power behind him.

Even so, he was still somewhat grateful to the old man; it was already commendable that he had stood up for him.

"Olov is dead. I sent him a message before, but he never replied. Later, I went to his secluded place and found traces of a battle. Olof should be dead because his opponent was very likely a fifth-circle wizard."

"Olov is a good man, who is so cruel?" Li Wei looked puzzled, but he already had a guess in his heart.

"I think it must be the powerful backer behind Balzan, the fifth-circle wizard of the Soul Tower, the Ghost Lady!"

Why did she kill Olof? What was her motive?

"Barzan is dead. She's been searching for clues, and it looks like she's turned to Orlov."

The Rose Witch looked at Levi, who seemed surprised, as if he truly didn't know.

"Barzan is dead too?"

"Yes."

The Rose Witch's eyes flickered slightly, and she sighed inwardly. She knew that Balzan had been killed by Levi.

Li Wei was no ordinary rogue sorcerer.

After the wizarding world and the human world were connected, she made contact with the other sisters.

It was only then that they discovered Levi was an outside helper wizard of the Witch's House, with great strength, and was even favored by Triss, the vice president of the Apothecary Association!

Triss's status and position surpass even those of the current Flower Witch.

The Rose Witch knew perfectly well what it meant to be valued by Triss.

After thinking for a moment, the Rose Witch said, "I reckon that old woman, Lady Ghost, already knows who killed Balzan and may have already started taking action. That woman is extremely vicious, and with the Ghost Tower backing her up, she's becoming increasingly reckless."

"Madam, you didn't call me here just to chat about this, did you?" Li Wei said.

"You're a fourth-circle wizard now, aren't you?"

"Yes."

"Nowadays, apart from a very few church saints and five-ring wizards like myself who are hiding, there should be no one who can rival you."

"That's not how you put it. I've heard the saying, 'Beyond the mountains, there are always more powerful ones; among the strong, there are always stronger ones.' I've only just entered the fourth ring, and my cultivation level isn't very stable yet, so how can I claim to be invincible below the fifth ring?"

"The Witch's House wants to establish a wizard's tower in the human world. I am a member of the Sword Flower Oath Tower and also a member of the Witch's House. The Witch has asked me to take charge of the overall situation, and I would like to ask you to be my assistant. As a reward, the Shining Tavern has been rooted in the human world for hundreds of years since its establishment, and you can use all its intelligence networks. You can come and be the deputy tower master," said the Rose Witch.

Li Wei's heart stirred slightly. The Shining Tavern was spread all over the world, and its roots were probably not much different from those of the church.

Especially in terms of intelligence, they are unmatched.

If we can freely use this intelligence network, it will be extremely beneficial to ourselves and the future development of the Twilight Temple!

After thinking for a moment, Li Wei said, "As a member of the Witch's House, I agree to your request, madam. If you need help, I will not refuse within my power. As for things beyond my power, I'm afraid I cannot help... However, there is no need for me to become the deputy tower master. It is not appropriate for me, a male witch, to become the deputy tower master."

"Yes, I trust the Soul Wizard's judgment, and I trust you too. I wish us a pleasant collaboration!" The Rose Witch raised a glass of Hundred Flowers Wine. "And I wish your future wife to be as beautiful as the Knight of Flowers!" she smiled.

Li Wei's memory seemed to be pulled back to the past, to that tavern in the Tuva Empire, where the descendant of the Mellon family, the old man who had avenged his great enemy, had also said these words to him. These were the toasts to the Hundred Flowers Wine!

"The Knight of Flowers..." Li Wei murmured to himself.

As he was leaving, the Rose Witch called out to Levi. She paused, hesitated, and said, "I am a fifth-circle wizard from the Witch's House. If I were to fight against Lady Ghost, it might lead to a war between the two towers... Be careful. Even if an outsider wizard is killed in a vendetta, the Witch's House won't care. However, you have the connection with Lady Triss, so you can use it flexibly and don't have to push yourself too hard."

A beam of light landed in Li Wei's palm. He looked at it and saw that it contained all the information about Lady Ghost.

He smiled and put away the intelligence: "Thank you, ma'am. Don't worry, my life... is tough!"

He left the tavern and walked down the street.

"Now that they might know I'm the killer, I can't afford to take any chances. Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance of being harmed, I must nip it in the bud!"

To prevent himself from being harmed, Li Wei decided:
