Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 88 Achieving Freedom with Ambergris! (8th Update! Please Subscribe)

Li Wei watched the fierce battle raging at the McCarthy mansion from afar and breathed a sigh of relief.

"If it weren't for my spider sense, I might have even managed to steal some other treasures from McCarthy's mansion."

"Li Wei, you're too greedy. Ambergris is enough. How could you even entertain such a dangerous idea?"

Li Wei reminded himself.

He increasingly realized how difficult it was to eradicate greed, which is inherent in human nature.

People die for wealth, birds die for food; the ancients were right.

Fortunately, I have a spider sense, so I know when to be greedy and when not to be greedy.

Li Wei's desires may deceive him, but the spider sense will not!

"McCarthy is not at the mansion," Levi said.

The official's heart sank, thinking that the old fox must have gone to hide in the pre-prepared shelter.

Li Wei escorted the officials to the gate of his residence.

"Sir, thank you for your help, but I have some other matters to attend to, so I won't be able to stay with you any longer," the official said, seemingly preoccupied with something.

Li Wei nodded.

He watched the official disappear rapidly.

A smile appeared on his lips.

Free bodyguard? Where in the world is there such a good deal?

After saying that, he quietly followed them.

……

Before long, a package appeared on Li Wei's back. Inside the package, in addition to the sealed ambergris statue, there were some valuable jewels and gold coins. Li Wei roughly estimated that the total value of these jewels and gold coins should be more than two thousand Tuva gold coins.

"He's just a low-ranking official in the finance department, how can he be so rich?"

A clean prefect for three years, accumulating 100,000 taels of silver.

Li Wei sighed, "Human greed has always been like this."

In any era, corrupt officials are always parasites on the nation.

The inner city was too dangerous. Li Wei vaguely sensed other experts besides the Fist of the Empire and the Minister of War, so he didn't dare to linger.

He has now exceeded his primary objective in coming to the Holy City.

In total, they acquired 25 bottles of ambergris and a statue made of ambergris.

Even solidified ambergris can be used as a secret medicine; that's perfectly fine.

Li Wei estimated that the statue alone was worth at least 100 bottles of ambergris.

If you take it to the Jade Kingdom to resell, you can earn at least 30,000 gold coins!

"I no longer need to worry about ambergris. I have finally achieved ambergris freedom!" Li Wei's excitement was palpable.

Most importantly, all of this ambergris was obtained for free.

The little money Li Wei painstakingly earned was completely useless.

"There are a few more things to do. Once I've finished them, I can leave. The Holy City is in complete chaos right now, which makes things easier for me," Li Wei sneered.

He first went to the cellar where the assassin who spoke the deathbird's voice was hidden.

The cellar was located inside a long-abandoned, dilapidated house, which was quite well hidden.

This place is suitable as a temporary hiding place.

The assassin was now huddled in a corner, his limbs crippled.

Upon seeing Li Wei arrive, she couldn't help but tremble.

"I'm going to ask you some questions now. If you answer them honestly, I'll give you a quick death," said Li Wei, wearing the White Wolf mask.

"Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend letting you experience what it truly means to wish you were dead. Beautiful lady, you wouldn't want to suffer inhuman humiliation, would you?"

Li Wei smiled maliciously, looking at the assassin's pretty face.

"Ask away," the assassin said indifferently, looking utterly resigned to his fate.

"How many members of the Deathbird's Voice participated in this operation? How many of them are Shadow-level assassins?"

"Ten people came in total: one Kage-level, two Gold Medalists, three Silver Medalists, and four Bronze Medalists."

"Does your Deathbird Voice have a base in this holy city?" Li Wei continued to ask.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Thorn's expression visibly changed, a change that Li Wei noticed.

"How did you know?" she asked. "Wait, you were the one who destroyed the Icewind City outpost, weren't you? Why are you going against us? It doesn't do you any good!"

"Now I'm asking you, woman!"

Li Wei kicked the Thorn Lady in the abdomen, causing her excruciating pain.

Frostmourne tore open the assassin's leather armor, revealing his well-developed "pectoral muscles" underneath.

Sensing the unfriendly gaze, Ms. Thorn took a deep breath and said, "Yes."

"Where?"

"The mass grave is about five miles south of the outer city. The entrance is there, but I'm not entirely sure of the exact location. I'm telling the truth."

"That's what Ms. Thorn said."

"How many high knights are at the stronghold?"

"As far as I know, no, but I'm not sure if Lord Pale Shadow will go there."

"Do you have any last words?"

"I want to know who you are and why you're against our organization. Anyway, I'm already dead, so how about satisfying my trivial curiosity?" Ms. Thorn asked with a sorrowful expression.

"Nothing else? Then die."

puff.

Frostmourne severed the head of Lady Thorn.

Livy took the corpse to the abandoned fireplace and burned it with the Flame Stream Signet.

"I originally wanted to cause some more trouble for Deathbird, but now it seems difficult. With the unpredictable factor of the Great Knight Pale Shadow, I'd better not take the risk. When I have the strength, I can take revenge at any time." Li Wei muttered to himself, then sat down on the ground, ate his food, and replenished his water.

After a fierce battle, Li Wei also exhausted a lot of his strength.

"There are only two things left to do: find Mecca, take his head, and then go to that old guy to trade for the Giant's Breathing Technique. Then find Wild Dog. Although I should be able to find my way home on my own, I'll call Wild Dog just in case."

As for the stronghold of the Deathbird's Voice, Li Wei decided to hold off on taking action for the time being.

"The Imperial Fist is currently hunting down the Minister of War all over the city, which is the perfect opportunity for me to kill McCa. However, McCa is currently hiding somewhere. Perhaps the Blood Hand boss in the outer city has some clues about McCa. Regardless of whether it works or not, let's give it a try. I need to settle accounts with the Blood Hand gang anyway."

Li Wei recalled the enormous sum of money he had lost—one gold coin—and all those weapons.

The entire holy city is now in complete chaos, making it the perfect time for me to settle scores.

After hiding the items well and making sure no one else finds them.

Li Wei went to the Chamber of Commerce in the central district and, taking advantage of the chaos of burning, killing, and looting, pulled off a small "zero-dollar purchase," stealing some mithril from them.

Then, at the blacksmith's shop in the outer city, he used mithril to repair his dragon armor and chainmail. After doing all this, Li Wei stealthily headed towards the Bloodhand Gang's stronghold, which he remembered.

Now, the outer city is in chaos, and many gangs seem to have been bribed by the rebels and joined the army to fight against the Fist of the Empire. These people can only be considered cannon fodder.

The Blood Hand Gang's headquarters, an abandoned winery.

The scarred man and his gang were all on high alert.

"Everyone stay alert. Boss Bloodhand is talking to a big shot in the inner city. We can't afford any mistakes."

The scarred man patted the head of his dozing underling next to him.

"Do you want to die? I haven't slept a wink for a day and a night, and you dare to doze off?"

Meanwhile, what the scarred man didn't notice was...

In another corner of the camp, a gang member on night watch was silently disappeared when a pair of large hands covered his mouth and nose.
