Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 282 The First Talent Imprint is Born! (Long Chapter, Please Vote and Subscribe!)

The year 1148 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Flowers.

Ancient Sage Plane, Imperial Palace.

"Haha, it worked!"

From the mountains and forests came Li Wei's triumphant laughter.

He rose up from the ground and shattered the earth.

A dazzling array of colors shone from his body, and layers of armor appeared.

Golden Scales, Golden Witch Body, Cold Wood Body, Heavy Water Barrier, Earth Dragon Barrier, Golden Serpent Dharma Image, Crimson Emperor Dharma Image, Golden Dragon Heavenly Shield!

Beyond these eight layers of protection.

Countless pebbles and clods of earth converged on Li Wei, enveloping him high in the sky!

In the blink of an eye.

A yellowish-brown sphere about ten feet in diameter took shape.

The sphere is made up of layers of compressed and solidified soil and rocks.

With the blessing of magic, it is even harder than obsidian.

"burst."

Li Wei, sealed within the earth and rocks, murmured softly.

In an instant, the earthen-yellow sphere exploded.

The area within a radius of several miles was completely affected by the blast of flying rocks.

This power looks quite intimidating.

"Ninth layer of protection, Fourth Ring Spell: Earth Explosion Barrier!"

Li Wei——————

Earth Explosion Barrier: Level 9 (1/150,000).

……

Li Wei removed his protective gear and breathed a sigh of relief.

Before the battle with Lady Ghost, Li Wei began preparing his fourth-ring protective force field.

However, the research has not been successful until now. Almost two years have passed since Lady Ghost left, and his fourth-ring protective force field has finally arrived.

In that great battle, he, as a fourth-circle wizard, was severely injured by a level five scythe demon spirit through a "cross-boundary" attack.

This made him realize:

The nails I made myself still weren't enough!

So he began to study his fourth ring's protective force field in a very busy manner.

For his third-ring protective field, he chose a fusion of ocean-based spells; for his fourth-ring field, he chose earth-based spells.

Of course, in terms of naming, he continued the "barrier" naming method of the three rings.

It was named "Earth Explosion Barrier".

It's called "Earth Explosion" because this barrier can actually... explode.

In other words, this is both a defensive spell and an area-of-effect attack spell.

In terms of protective strength, the current ninth-tier Earth Explosion Barrier is on par with the ninth-tier Perfect Heavy Water Barrier.

As a top-tier fourth-circle spell developed by Li Wei, the Earth Explosion Barrier can be cultivated up to the eleventh level limit.

Once the Earth Explosion Barrier is fully perfected, its final defensive power should be no less than his fully perfected third-ring talent, Earth Dragon Barrier.

Li Wei's mental strength is now 270 points, only halfway to the perfect level.

In terms of magical power, it has reached 13500 points.

He took out the "Fire Ouroboros".

"When I first entered the Fourth Ring, my magical power was insufficient to support the use of teleportation spells. Let's see if it's still possible."

Triss said that the Ouroboros Ring was the most powerful thing.

It is neither an inherent attack spell nor a defensive spell.

It is a rare teleportation spell.

This is why it is a top-grade five-ring witch artifact.

Under normal circumstances.

Only Yuanhun Wizards can use spells similar to "shrinking the earth to an inch" or "short-distance spatial teleportation".

Li Wei found a place with a wide view.

This teleportation, compared to the spatial teleportation of the Yuanhun Wizard, has one annoying aspect:

It must be within sight.

Therefore, the use of this magical artifact was also limited in scope.

This field of vision refers to the conventional field of vision, excluding spells such as using mental power to perceive or extraordinary clairvoyance.

The teleportation point and Li Wei must be in a straight line, and there must be nothing in between that obstructs his view.

The maximum teleportation distance is 1000 li. Within this 1000-li range, the farther you can see, the farther the teleportation will go.

Li Wei went up to the sky, where he could see the farthest.

Ordinary people with normal vision can see dozens of miles away without any obstruction.

With his current eyesight, he can see thousands of miles away.

Of course, this only means that we can "see" it, not that we can "see clearly" every blade of grass and every tree thousands of miles away.

However, it doesn't affect the transmission.

Li Wei chanted the incantation.

His magical power was instantly drained, leaving him completely empty.

The next moment, a blue portal of light appeared in front of him.

On the other side of the portal, a cliffside scene was revealed, with a crooked tree on the cliff.

Li Wei stepped inside, and the portal vanished instantly.

After the world spun around, he had already traveled a thousand miles.

When it reappeared, it had already walked out of the blue light gate on the cliff. The place that Li Wei had just seen was this place.

"I see... If used well, this is a deadly weapon and a divine escape technique. No one below the Yuanhun level can catch me."

Li Wei was very satisfied.

Of course, with his current magical power, teleporting there means he will no longer be able to use other spells.

Fortunately, he still had knightly skills; otherwise, he would have just been sent to his death.

When chasing someone, he can appear behind the wizard with a single "flash." Under the aura of annihilation, who can withstand it?

"Not bad, another trump card."

Li Wei put away the Ouroboros Ring and flew all the way to the Twilight Temple.

The temple is now located in what was once Blackstriped City.

these years.

With the help of the Ancient Dragon Empire, the temple was quickly built.

The temple is aloof and not subject to the jurisdiction of the Ancient Dragon Empire.

Similarly, the Temple cannot interfere in the affairs of the Ancient Dragon Empire.

Both were directly under the jurisdiction of Li Wei.

It relies on the relatively abundant elemental power of the ancient holy plane.

Andrew is now at the pinnacle of intermediate wizard apprenticeship.

Before long, he will become a high-ranking wizard apprentice.

Levi estimated that Andrew still had a good chance of becoming a first-ring wizard before he turned forty.

After all, he is a one-in-a-million elemental child, something even Li Wei could only envy.

As the child of the elements, he also has access to the temple's abundant resources and the occasional guidance from Li Wei.

If Andrew cannot become a third-circle wizard before he turns one hundred, it would be a waste of his talent.

When Li Wei first entered the Endless Sea...

He has no talent, no resources, and no connections.

He had nothing but the knight's skills and proficiency panel, along with his caution and prudence, and worked his way up step by step to where he is now. It was truly not easy!

Upon seeing Li Wei arrive, the Divine Light Knight rushed over.

"Commander."

"Where is Dinos?"

"He has gone into seclusion, preparing to advance to the Blood Origin Realm."

"understood."

Li Wei had originally wanted to see the progress of Dinos's bloodline rune research, but since he was in seclusion, they could talk about it later.

The first batch of knights who joined the Knights Order have gradually reached the level of third-level knight.

at the same time.

In recent years, a new batch of promising talents have also been stuck at the threshold of becoming Blood Awakening Knights.

Perhaps in the near future, several Blood Awakening Knights will emerge from among these people.

This way, we can gather all eighteen Knights of the Round Table sooner.

Seven days later.

Dinos successfully advanced to the Blood Origin realm.

He felt the abundant blood energy within his body, and the golden lion blood energy circulated within him, making him resemble a golden lion king.

Blood and qi formed a magnificent golden lion mane that spread across his neck, flowing behind him like long hair.

"This is the Bloodline! This powerful force is completely different from anything I've experienced before. It's so powerful, so cool!"

Dinos let out a long roar that pierced through the clouds and split rocks.

His blood essence transformed into golden wings, and he arrived at the Supreme Dao Hall where Li Wei was located.

"Captain, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting," Dinos said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Andrew arrived at the main hall.

"You two are mainly responsible for the research on bloodline runes and talent imprints. Let's have a quick meeting so you can tell me about your research progress and any questions you may have," Li Wei said.

"I'll go first, since Andrew is mainly responsible for organizing and deciphering the [Shield Runes], which are primarily defensive, while I'll be responsible for the [Sword Fighting Runes], which are primarily offensive."

This is a beginner's template for sword fighting runes that I compiled.

I feel that if I have more time, I might be able to try to create some "talent imprints" that are similar to the level of wizarding magic.

It may not have much practical value, but as the starting point of a system, it should provide some inspiration for the true development of talent later on.

Dinos handed over a book, which Levi glanced at and nodded repeatedly.

"Good. Let's start by focusing our research on shield defense and sword fighting. If successful, we can gradually expand it to the other four major areas."

Andrew said, "My situation is similar to that of Senior Dinos, but I did a small experiment yesterday and made some discoveries."

He became somewhat agitated as he spoke.

"Tell me about it," Li Wei said with a smile.

Andrew took a deep breath and lifted the armor off his right arm.

On his forearm, there were blood-red lines.

These patterns intersect like a circuit board, and there are nodes on them, making them look very complex.

Ultimately, all the patterns combined to form a rather abstract dragon design.

This is the Iron Dragon, a symbol of Andrew's breathing technique.

The iron dragon's wings are crossed, resembling a tattoo or body art, etched on Andrew's forearm.

Andrew smiled slightly, his face contorted with veins, and the seed of blood within him was activated with a roar!

Streams of blood flowed through his veins, from his limbs and bones, into his right arm, and then appeared on the iron dragon tattoo on his forearm.

Upon closer inspection, the iron dragon tattoo is not a simple two-dimensional object.

The blood-red patterns that make up his design are connected to the blood vessels throughout Andrew's body and to the bloodline of the Iron Dragon Seed in his heart.

"Iron Dragon - Arm Shield Brand!"

Andrew clenched his right arm tightly.

As the veins on his right arm bulged, a surge of power erupted from the iron dragon tattoo on his forearm.

Then, a phantom of a shield gleaming with metallic luster appeared on Andrew's right arm.

On the arm shield, rusted bloodline runes formed an iron dragon with crossed wings, protecting the body!

Andrew drew his longsword with his left hand and unleashed a burst of power.

Golden Cross Slash, aimed at the right arm!

He is now a Grand Knight, and with this sword strike, he can cleave through the large shields of mortals.

boom!

Accompanied by the sound of a collision.

Andrew's longsword was knocked away.

The phantom of the Iron Dragon Arm Shield trembled slightly and cracks appeared, but it did not break apart.

Upon seeing this, Li Wei's eyes lit up.

Andrew removed the phantom of the arm shield he had just created, his face pale and bloodless.

This is a sign of qi and blood deficiency. Li Wei gave Andrew some medicines that he had developed to replenish qi and blood.

"Not bad, not bad, how did you discover this?" Li Wei asked curiously.

Although the tattoo was too simple and crude, it was close to the talent mark he envisioned.

Its power is no less than that of a wizard's magic tricks.

So he was somewhat surprised.

"For the past few days, I have been racking my brains about how to combine the deciphered bloodline runes into a talent mark that can give birth to extraordinary power."

I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't come up with any solution. My knowledge was too limited, and my understanding was too shallow to grasp such a complex level... so I went to sleep.

I hadn't slept in a long time because I was researching bloodline runes, so I slept for seven days and seven nights, and even had dreams for the first time in a long time.

In my dream, I seemed to see a rusty iron dragon with crossed wings!

Iron Dragon's body seemed to have many points of light, which flickered in a regular and rhythmic manner... just like the nodes of a wizard's spell model, and the spell runes that flickered at the nodes!

At that moment, a bold idea suddenly came to me. After waking up, I wrote it down.

I tried to replicate the bloodline runes according to the shape, posture, and light spots of the iron dragon in my dream.

Then, using blood energy as fuel and the seed of bloodline as the driving force, a very simple extraordinary ability was born.

This extraordinary ability is only as powerful as a minor wizard's trick, and is not worth mentioning.

However, I think that as we decipher more and more shield runes, we should continuously optimize them.

Ultimately, this extraordinary ability will be no less powerful than a wizard's formal spells.

Of course, given the Great Knight's level of blood energy, it would be difficult for him to unleash such a complex ability. Forcing it might deplete his bloodline.

Therefore, my next plan is to advance to a formal wizard within ten years and become a Blood Awakening Knight within fifteen years.

I believe that the talent-imprinting path you described, Commander, is entirely feasible!

Andrew spoke with great passion, his eyes shining brightly!

Li Wei thought to himself.

Are you Mendeleev, Descartes, or Kekulé reincarnated?

How can you make research discoveries in a dream? Did Tie Long send you a message in your dream?

In fact, Li Wei had thought of a similar approach to Andrew's before.

More than a hundred years ago, when Li Wei came into contact with the first magic trick, the "Insect Control Technique," he encountered a model of the spell.

He discovered that the nodes of the wizard's spell model and the little figure pattern on the knight's breathing technique inheritance diagram were remarkably similar!

The so-called Knight Breathing Technique is a process of enhancing physical fitness and tempering blood vessels by following specific postures, movements, and breathing rhythms, supplemented by secret medicines.

Breathing techniques are practiced by having knights imitate those colossal beasts, acquire their bloodline power, and lay a solid foundation.

To unleash the power of these bloodlines, one can extend abilities similar to innate spells onto the [Foundation].

That would definitely require imitating real behemoths, observing their every move, their posture and actions when releasing their innate abilities, and the corresponding points of force exertion.

Then, this pattern is expressed in the form of a talent imprint.

In this way, the knight also possessed his own unique talent!

Just like in the myths and legends of some civilizations, there are always some extraordinary mortals who, upon observing the "fighting of divine beasts" or "battles of immortals," suddenly gain enlightenment and comprehend some incredible supernatural power.

In Li Wei's view, Andrew's experience was similar to an "epiphany".

It's something that can only be encountered by chance.

This young man is definitely a chosen one!

Being a child of the elements is one thing, but a knight's comprehension is also exceptionally high.

Li Wei increasingly realized that he had struck gold!

Although Livy put forward many preliminary basic theories and ideas.

However, because he was too busy, he basically did not participate much in the subsequent work of deciphering bloodline runes and constructing talent imprints.

He didn't expect Andrew to be able to get it done so quickly.

His original intention in establishing the Temple of Twilight was actually for this day.

He created a safe and stable environment for the Temple to exist. In return, the Temple reciprocated by sharing the fruits of their collective wisdom.

It now appears that this model is gradually proving effective.

All the hard work I put into establishing this century-old temple has finally come to fruition; all my previous efforts have not been in vain!

However, one Andrew is not enough; he needs more talents like him!

Talent!

It is the core of any force's ability to thrive!

Take the wizard civilization as an example:

Klein, who quantifies spiritual power and magical power; Rowling, who quantifies bloodline; Castro, who quantifies combat; Gargamel, the master of sealing techniques; Frankenstein, the progenitor of monster studies...

Even under Sauron's glory, these beings still shine with their own light!

Civilization progresses only when stars shine brightly!

Sauron was so powerful that he could kill gods, yet he still had eighteen companions from different paths, which illustrates the same point!

The right way is to pool our wisdom and efforts and learn from each other.

Reality isn't about a protagonist who's invincible, even in a supernatural world, even if there are real gods here.

No one is omniscient, omnipotent, or perfect.

As the wizard said: Truth can only be approached infinitely, but can never be reached!

At this moment, Li Wei understood why countries in his previous life were so eager for truly talented people.

Andrew is a natural-born researcher.

It's not just because of his talent, but because of his unwavering dedication to this path!

"Well done, but you have to be careful with this kind of experiment. Using your own body to experiment can be fatal if you make a mistake," Li Wei warned.

"Thank you for your concern, Commander," Andrew said quickly.

Dinos was filled with emotion: "Is this what genius is? Is this what the child of the elements is?"

He had a feeling that the new generation was pushing the old generation aside, and the old generation was about to be washed away on the beach.

Andrew was flattered and said, "If the leader hadn't written down all the basic theories of those bloodline runes, and if it weren't for the improvements and additions by all the seniors, I wouldn't have been able to research them... To put it bluntly, I was just lucky to receive guidance in a dream."

"Don't be modest, wait for the captain to reward you. From now on, the research on this talent imprint project will depend on you!" Dinos patted Andrew's shoulder hard.

"This is indeed a major breakthrough. Here's what we'll do: from now on, you can freely access the knowledge in the first two levels of the Temple of Knowledge, up to level three."

I hope this inspires you, Andrew. Make the most of your strengths; your future is bright! ” Levi said.

What you think about during the day, you dream about at night.

Even if it was a dream, Andrew must have put in a lot of effort to discover this; it wasn't that simple.

"Once you become a formal wizard, go to the Dawn Temple to obtain a second-circle wizard artifact for protection," Li Wei added after thinking for a moment.

"Thank you, Commander."

After leaving the Supreme Dao Hall, Li Wei returned to the Imperial Palace and took out Andrew's research notes to examine them.

I benefited greatly from reading it.

With Li Wei's knowledge and level of understanding, he already had some ideas about the construction of his own talent imprint, but he also needed time to verify them.

For a powerhouse of his caliber, those simple talent imprints are like the special effects of early breathing techniques—most of them are useless.

However, if we can research some complex talent imprints...

Perhaps it can complement one's innate magical abilities.

In the future, when my vision is broad enough, my knowledge is extensive enough, and the panel's evolution is sufficiently perfect.

He felt that innate spells and innate imprints could even be integrated.

He bridged the gap between the ways of wizards and the ways of knights, thus forging his own unique path.

His reason for creating the "Dragon" series of his innate magic was also based on this consideration.

Of course, this is just speculation.

He estimated that the "Witch Knights Merge" could only begin after at least the legendary wizards!

Half a year has passed like sand slipping through my fingers and being blown away by the wind.

The end of the year, the month of the north wind.

After that epiphany, I figured out a simple talent imprint.

Andrew made no new discoveries; these things can't be forced.

Extraordinary research is not achieved overnight.

At least since Andrew created the talent ability [Iron Dragon's Arm Shield].

The Knight system has also expanded its extraordinary realm.

It's no longer just about being tough and strong, and charging in with brute force.

Li Wei also offered Andrew a new idea.

That is to observe some similar creatures and observe the release of their innate abilities.

For example, the Ironclad Lizard, a first-level extraordinary creature, contains the bloodline of the Iron Dragon.

Its abilities must be similar to those of the Iron Dragon.

By observing more closely, one may gain insights and achieve similar results.

As for the armored lizards, there is a small population in the Mountain and Sea Beast Garden behind Emperor Liwei's palace, which he released there.

He immediately had one sent to Andrew.

In this way.

In the ancient sage plane, the prototype of a perfect extraordinary civilization operating system has been established.

The Ancient Dragon Empire maintains order and, as Li Wei's right-hand man, collects resources within the plane for the operation of civilization and Li Wei's cultivation.

The Twilight Temple, on the other hand, acts as researchers, constantly coming up with more and more ideas about chivalry, serving as Livy's think tank.

At the same time, another institution also needs to be established.

That is the department specifically responsible for the cultivation and propagation of extraordinary organisms.

Relying on a small plane, establish a base of extraordinary creatures with a rich population, encompassing the vast majority of knights' training.

These extraordinary creatures can provide both cultivation elixirs and advancement elixirs.

At the same time, having the knights seriously study extraordinary creatures might even allow them to create a talent mark.

This is the way of bloodline: it comes from bloodline and goes back to bloodline.

When you're stuck for ideas, take a stroll through the Mountain and Sea Beast Garden; it might just open up a new path.

Li Wei himself was already a master of extraordinary biology.

Therefore, he plans to find people with talent and interest in this area in the future to pass on his knowledge.

He can't waste all his energy on this kind of thing.

He needs talent from all fields and sectors.

……

The first day of the Primordial Moon in the year 1149 of the Holy Radiance Calendar.

The 49th Round Table Meeting of the Twilight Knights.

At the meeting, a young man appeared; it was Andrew.

Although Andrew did not reach the level of Blood Awakening Knight.

However, given his talent, Li Wei would definitely give him special treatment.

In this way, if Andrew makes any new discoveries, he can contact Levi at any time.

At the meeting, Andrew shared the results of his talent with the other senior colleagues.

The old men all turned their heads in surprise, gasped, and exclaimed that it was terrifying.

At the same time, they also felt the pressure from their juniors.

They all mustered their energy and strived to be the best, determined not to be outdone by the younger generation.

During the meeting, the Black Knight stated that he had now reached the pinnacle of a high-level wizard apprentice.

In a little while, he will be able to become a true wizard.

As for the advancement potions and meditation resources for the first ring, with his strength as a third-level knight, he had already prepared them.

With knights leading the way and resources piling up, wizards' training won't be too slow.

At the end of the meeting, Hogger the Knight in the Crimson Realm said:

"Commander, I've found a clue about elemental metals."

Three days ago, I attended an auction hosted by a rogue sorcerer from the Flaming Mountains.

At the meeting, someone was selling [Black Flame Meteorite Iron], which is said to be a level 5 fire element metal produced in the Dark Lands.

However, that thing was too expensive. A piece of ore the size of a human head could only be refined into a small piece of Black Flame Demon Iron, yet it was auctioned off for 60,000 Tai Shi.

I couldn't afford it, but after the auction, I found a seller through the organizers.

I told him I knew a big customer, and if he still had any, I could help you make connections.

"When do you have time? You could come to the Crimson Realm. Judging from that man's tone, he probably owns more than one of those things."

Li Wei nodded and said:

"Well done, Hogg. With your abilities, it's best not to participate in bidding for valuable items."

The wizarding world is in chaos now, with evil forces taking advantage of various gatherings to commit unjust robberies.

"Tell me your coordinates, and I'll make time to go to the Crimson Realm. I'll personally meet with that wizard."

Black Flame Demon Iron is similar to Blood Demon Crystal.

These are special minerals formed by chance after some powerful creatures from the Dark Lands perished.

Its fire element properties are also quite unique, and it is not quite the same as the meteorite iron.

Li Wei felt that his Death Ash Breathing Technique and this Black Flame Demon Iron were quite compatible.

However, since the Death Breathing Technique is a physical type, Li Wei intends to forge a divine weapon, or rather... divine armor, in the form of knight's armor!

This can be considered quite extravagant. For example, a level 5 elemental metal like Black Flame Demon Iron can be used by wizards to forge a fourth-ring magical artifact by adding just a small piece.

The amount of Black Flame Iron needed to forge a single piece of knight's armor could be as high as a million Taishi just for the raw materials alone.

Fortunately, Li Wei is now wealthy, so as long as the person has the money, he's not worried about not being able to afford it.

After crafting the divine weapon for the Death Breathing Technique and collecting all four divine weapons, his strength increased significantly.

After the meeting.

Li Wei left the Ancient Saint Plane and flew towards the human world.

During this time, he obtained information about the wizarding world through two means: messengers and the Rose Witch.

……

The Peacock Kingdom.

Flower City.

Shining Tavern.

The Rose Witch was dressed in her finest attire, as vibrant as fire.

Li Wei held a cup of Hundred Flowers Wine, took a sip, and found it spicy yet sweet, leaving a lingering aftertaste.

"I heard that the lord of this Flower City is also named Li Wei..." The Rose Witch looked at Li Wei and smiled softly.

A thought struck Li Wei: it seemed the Rose Witch must know.

He himself was Lord Li Wei from a hundred years ago.

Although he did it very discreetly, the intelligence network of Shining Tavern and Rose Witch probably still found out.

However, Li Wei no longer cared about the exposure of this identity.

I was too weak in the past and was afraid of being targeted by the Holy Light Church, so I went into hiding.

Now, given his own strength, the fact that he doesn't actively cause trouble for the church is already giving them face.

If the church dares to provoke him, he will march straight to Heaven Mountain!

Let's scatter the ashes of all the saints of the past!

I, Master Li, have been lying low for over a hundred years; it's time for me to show off a bit!

He realized that the church was just a paper tiger, only able to intimidate people by relying on the god behind it.

Many wizards abided by the agreement between Sauron and the gods, and did not cause trouble.

However, some unscrupulous wizards, such as that mysterious powerhouse who was only a fifth-ring wizard, dared to brazenly steal the statue of the Storm Emperor.

It's not unreasonable for me to go to Heaven Mountain and steal a few sealed relics, is it?

By the way, the Van Helsing family's Dharma seal lineage is still in Paradise Mountain.

As a collector, Li Wei would have to get it back sooner or later.

Could it be that for such a trivial matter, the gods would use their divine power to unleash divine punishment or send angels to deal with them?

If the gods had so much free time, then the "War of the North Wind," which had lasted for years and could have jeopardized the foundation of the church's faith, should have ended long ago!

In reality, the Church has only managed to barely stop the Blue Frost Undead from moving south; it has not destroyed the Blue Frost Empire.

Although Li Wei did not know what the gods were doing in the astral plane.

However, by observing some events in the human realm and the Great Expedition, we can still glean some insight and draw a conclusion:

That means the astral plane is definitely not peaceful, and there will be turmoil!

Composing himself, Li Wei smiled and said, "In this world, there are at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand, people named Li Wei."

"Haha, that's true. The reason I called you here is twofold: first, Ms. Triss has some things she wants to tell you, and second, we need to discuss the location of the witch's house branch wizard tower," said the Rose Witch.

"Please speak, senior."

"Ms. Triss asked me to give you something."

As soon as the Rose Witch finished speaking, a fiery red rose suddenly bloomed on her chest, and in the center of the rose was a small black tower.

"The Key to the Dark Tower?"

Li Wei was completely bewildered.

He already has two of these, and now he's got another one.

So, it turns out that Ms. Triss is still thinking about sending me to the Dark Tower.

She, as a mother, really went to great lengths for that boy, Aynya.

Li Wei was even a little jealous of Aonia. Why didn't he have a mother like Triss, so he could live off his parents?

"What are you standing there for? Take it. Triss went to a lot of trouble to get this... By the way, she got this key through her own means without telling the Witch's House, so don't tell anyone either."

If the witch's house asks, just say that you obtained the key by accident.

So, if you get anything good in the Dark Tower, it's all yours and you don't need to give it to the Witch's House, understand?

On this trip to the Dark Tower, Ms. Triss hopes that, within your capabilities, you will secretly help Ania if she falls into danger.

If not, just ignore it.

Don't mention this to Aynea. If Aynea asks, just say it was out of friendship that you helped out, and don't mention Ms. Triss.

"Alas, Ms. Triss has truly gone to great lengths for this son."

Li Wei put away the key and said with a wry smile, "Alright, I understand. Parents always worry about their children. Lady Aonia and I are friends. If she's in trouble, I won't stand by and watch her die within my power!"

Li Wei's words came from the bottom of his heart, and were not because of the key to the ancient pagoda.

Levi has a high opinion of Aenea's character after all these years of getting to know her.

Quiet and reserved, secretly passionate yet reliable, even somewhat naive and kind.

In the Dark Tower, one could indeed be deceived by some people with ulterior motives.

Moreover, after saving Ania, he could still make Triss owe him a favor.

The favor of a noble, beautiful, and kind-hearted Yuanhun Wizard is priceless!

"By the way, Ms. Triss also reminded you that the Dark Tower will probably open within fifteen years. Remember to refine the Dark Tower; just drip your blood on it."

When it opens, you will be automatically transported to the first floor of the Dark Tower.

She also asked me to give you a portion of the map of the Dark Tower.

Then you can go treasure hunting in these locations on the map. The chances of finding something are higher, and the danger is lower. Aenea and the Witch's House team are basically located there as well.

"Thank you, Ms. Triss, for your thoughtfulness!" Levi exclaimed.

Next, he discussed the location of the Witch's House branch with the Rose Witch.

Ultimately, they settled on a place overseas.

Firstly, the water elemental power is more concentrated in overseas lands, making them suitable for cultivation.

Secondly, overseas locations can help avoid some meaningless disputes.

that's it.

The location of the Witch's House branch was chosen on an unnamed island.

"It's not too far from the mainland, which is good."

Livy and the Rose Witch stood on the island talking.

"By the way, Levi, did you know that Lady Ghost is dead?" The Rose Witch looked at Levi meaningfully.

"I know, the penalty area was leveled, looks like they died a terrible death," Li Wei said calmly.

The Rose Witch smiled meaningfully and said, "I wonder who this person is, who so easily accomplished what I've always wanted to do but never dared to do... I really wish I had a chance to pay them a visit."

"Me too."

"However, some time ago, I discovered that Lady Ghost's senior sister, Lady Tyranny, has come to the human world. She is even more perverted and more powerful than Lady Ghost." The Rose Witch seemed somewhat wary when this person was mentioned.

Li Wei's heart stirred slightly.

The Tyrannical Lady, the most powerful of the three disciples of the Banshee of Pain.

It seems I should stay home as much as possible during this time. The Rose Witch already knows that she was the one who dealt with Lady Ghost.

Therefore, Li Wei could sense that since Lady Ghost's death, her attitude towards him had become better than before.

They now completely regard Li Wei as a peer.

Because the Rose Witch and the Ghost Lady are roughly equal in strength, and they have fought each other before, with neither gaining the upper hand.

In the wizarding world, the strong are always respected.

Whether it's due to Li Wei's personal abilities or the mysterious organization behind him, it's all thanks to Li Wei's skills.

After bidding farewell to the Rose Witch, Li Wei quickly took the key to the ancient tower and returned to the Ancient Saint Plane.

We arrived at the imperial palace's treasury.

He stared at the three keys side by side, his heart filled with complex emotions. By some twist of fate, he now had three keys.

He's now considering whether or not to sell one.

He kept one for himself and one for Leon as a backup. As for the other one, he couldn't think of anyone to give it to; it seemed there was no suitable candidate.

"Never mind, I'll just take it one step at a time. If there isn't a suitable candidate before the ancient tower opens, I'll sell this to the Wizarding World for money."

In the days that followed, Li Wei began preparing for his journey to the Crimson Realm.

He had Hogg investigate, and it turned out that the owner of the ore was a fourth-circle wizard.

With my own strength, I should be able to control the situation and prevent being killed and robbed.

However, he still needs to be careful, since his weapon crafting skills are not far from the fourth level.

Before setting off, he began to focus on honing his weapon crafting skills so he could upgrade Tyrant III later.

Three months have passed quietly.

The moon shines on green grass, a season when grass grows and orioles fly.

In the Ancient Sage Plane, within the Mountain and Sea Beast Garden, it is once again the season for extraordinary creatures to breed and mate.

On this day, a deafening roar echoed through the mountains and forests.

"It seems another of the extraordinary creatures we released before has advanced in rank."

Li Wei sent people to investigate.

It turned out to be the Ironwing Griffin, the second-ring creature I obtained early on. It had actually advanced to the third-ring Silverwing Griffin Lord during this time.

The zoo now houses several griffins, all of which Li Wei acquired from the black wizard over the years.

They have even begun to reproduce.

Li Wei felt that they should wait until the population had multiplied and grown stronger.

The powerful figures from the Ancient Dragon Empire and the Temple might be able to form a "Griffin Legion".

Of course, this vibrant spring is what makes Li Wei happiest.

His weapon crafting skills had also been improved to the fourth level.

Li Wei——————

Refinement: Tier 7 (1/50000), Special Effect: Heart of the Artifact.

……

Actually, compared to magic arrays and medicine making...

Li Wei spent very little effort on weapon crafting.

Firstly, the effect of refining artifacts is not as good as the previous two, and secondly, he himself doesn't use witch artifacts much, but only creates alchemical creatures.

However, it possesses the special effect of "Heart of an Object".

Once you get into this skill, things go smoothly.

"After reaching the fourth ring, we can create the alchemical creature, Skywalker, which we can take to the Dark Tower to wreak havoc!"

Li Wei felt a little excited.

He searched the treasure vault and found two pieces of elemental metal.

For crafting Skywalker, the metal Obsidian is no longer sufficient.

As luck would have it, he obtained two pieces of level-three elemental metal from some unknown dark wizard.

This level of elemental metal is not qualified to be Li Wei's divine weapon, but it is more than enough to forge Skywalker.

One [Thunder Flow Stone], one [Earth Fire Refined Iron].

These two pieces together, along with some obsidian, are just enough to create a Skywalker.

Li Wei seized the opportunity and began working in the alchemy workshop.
