Chapter 1023: The First Talent Brand Is Born! (6)

“If the Witch’s Family asks, just say you accidentally stumbled upon the key yourself. So, anything you find in the Dark Ancient Tower will be yours, and you don’t need to report it to the Witch’s Family. Understand? This trip to the Dark Ancient Tower, Madam Triss hopes that within your capabilities, if Anya is in trouble, you’ll secretly help her. But if not, then don’t interfere. And don’t mention this to Anya. If she asks, just say it’s helping out a friend, without mentioning Madam Triss. Ah, Madam Triss really went to great lengths for this son.”
Levi tucked away the key, smiling ruefully. “Alright, I understand. Parents do everything for their children. Anya and I are friends, and if he’s in trouble and within my abilities, I won’t stand idly by!”
Levi’s words were sincere, not just because of the ancient tower key.
Levi had come to appreciate Anya’s character over the years: quiet, reliable, and even a bit naive and kind-hearted.
In the Dark Ancient Tower, he could easily be deceived by some unscrupulous individuals.
Moreover, saving Anya would further put Triss in his debt.
The favor of a respected and kind-hearted primordial soul wizard like Triss was priceless!
“Oh, and Madam Triss also instructed that the Dark Ancient Tower will probably open within fifteen years. Remember to activate and blood-bind the tower. When it opens, you’ll be automatically transported to the first floor. She also asked me to give you a part of the tower’s map. When the time comes, you can use these maps to search for treasures. There’s a greater chance of success and less danger in these places, and Anya and the Witch’s Family team will likely be there.”
“Thank you, Madam Triss is indeed very meticulous!” Levi sighed.
Next, he and Rosa Witch discussed the location for the branch of the Witch’s Family.
Finally, they settled on a nameless island in the outer sea region.
This location was chosen because the elemental power of water was richer in the outer sea region, making it suitable for cultivation. Additionally, it would avoid some meaningless conflicts.
Thus, the address for the Witch’s Family branch was set on an unnamed island.
“This place isn’t too far from the mainland, which is good,” Levi said as he and Rosa Witch stood on the small island.
“Oh, Levi, did you know that Madam Ghost has died?” Rosa Witch looked at Levi meaningfully.
“Yes, I heard. The forbidden zone was razed, and it seems she died quite tragically,” Levi said calmly.
Rosa Witch smiled meaningfully. “It seems some god or saint has done what I’ve always wanted to do but didn’t dare… Seems like an opportunity to pay a visit.”
“I think so too.”
“But, recently, I found out that Madam Ghost’s senior sister, Mistress Cruel, has come to Earth. She’s even more twisted and powerful than Madam Ghost.” Rosa Witch seemed wary just mentioning this person.
Levi’s heart skipped a beat.
Mistress Cruel was the most powerful one of the three disciples of the Painful Banshee.
It seemed that Rosa Witch had already known that Levi had dealt with Madam Ghost, so Levi could sense that her attitude towards him had improved since Madam Ghost’s death. She now regarded Levi as an equal.
Because Rosa Witch’s strength was comparable to Madam Ghost’s, the two had fought to a draw before. In the world of wizards, strength was always respected.
Whether relying on Levi’s personal strength or the mysterious organization behind him, it was all Levi’s ability.
After bidding farewell to Rosa Witch, Levi hurriedly returned to the Ancient Saint plane with the ancient tower key.
Arriving at the treasury of the Emperor’s Palace, he looked at the three keys lined up side by side, feeling conflicted. By a twist of fate, he now had three keys.
He was now considering whether to sell one. One for himself, another as a backup for Leon. As for the third one, he couldn’t think of anyone suitable to give it to.
“Forget it, I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. If I don’t find a suitable candidate before the tower opens, I’ll sell this one in the Wizard World.”
In the days that followed, Levi began to prepare for his journey to the Realm of Crimson.
He had Hogg investigate, and it seemed that the owner of the ore was a Fourth-Circle Wizard. With his own strength, Levi should be able to handle the situation without being killed for the treasure.
However, he still needed to be cautious. Fortunately, his skills in weapon refinement were not far from the fourth-circle level.
Before setting off, he began to focus on cultivating his weapon refinement skills, intending to upgrade the Tyrant III when the time came.
Three months passed quietly.
It was the Month of Grass, a season when the grass grew lush and birds sang joyfully.
In the Ancient Saint plane, within the Sea Beast Park, it was once again the season for transcendent creatures to mate and reproduce.
On this day, deafening roars echoed through the mountains and forests.
“Probably another transcendent creature promoted from those released earlier.”
Levi sent someone to investigate.
It turned out to be the Iron-Winged Griffin he had acquired early on, which had unexpectedly advanced to become a Lord of Silver-Winged Griffins, a third-circle being.
Now, there were several griffins in the beast park, all acquired by Levi from dark wizards over the years.
They had even begun breeding offspring.
Levi felt that once the population grew larger, the strong from the Ancient Dragon Empire and the Holy Temple might be able to form a “Griffin Legion.”
Of course, what made Levi happiest this vibrant spring was his Weapon Refinement skill, which had also reached the fourth-circle level.
Levi, Weapon Refinement: Seventh Level (1/50000), Special Effect: Weapon Heart.
…
In fact, compared to array formations and pharmacy, Levi had invested very little energy into weapon refinement.
Firstly, because the effect of weapon refinement was not as significant as the other two skills, and secondly, Levi himself did not use wizard tools much, only creating alchemical creatures.
However, with the Special Effect of Weapon Heart, cultivating this skill was relatively smooth sailing.
“After reaching the fourth circle, I can create alchemical creatures called Skywalkers, which can be brought to the Dark Ancient Tower in the future to wreak havoc!”
Levi was a little excited.
He rummaged through the treasury and found two pieces of elemental metal.
Luminant gold was no longer suitable for forging Skywalkers.
Coincidentally, he had obtained two pieces of level 3 elemental metal from some unknown dark wizard.
These elemental metals were not qualified to be Levi’s divine weapons, but they were more than enough to refine Skywalkers.
One was Thunderstone, and the other was Underground Fire Iron.
With these two pieces, along with some Luminant gold, Levi could create Skywalkers.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Levi began his busy work in the alchemy workshop.
