The retainer smiled and said, “Welcome, Master Tyra. To celebrate our first collaboration, the Earl has prepared a sumptuous banquet for you.”
“It’s my honor.”
Levi entered.
The retainer asked the Official Blacksmiths under the Earl of Silver Mountain to inspect the goods.
The retainer asked, “How is it? He wasn’t not patronizing us, was he?”
They carefully observed the appearance, design, and texture of the armor that Levi had forged.
Then, he let the others compare the weapons and armor forged by ordinary blacksmiths with those forged by Master Tyra.
All were infused with mithril, and the ratio of materials was the same.
However, after a comparison experiment, these people were shocked to discover that the armor and weapons forged by Master Tyra were far superior to ordinary blacksmiths in terms of internal quality, appearance, and exquisiteness.
Originally, the Official Blacksmiths under the Earl of Silver Mountain were a little dissatisfied that the Earl had gone to an outsider, Master Tyra, instead of them. They thought that the Earl looked down on their standards.
Now, they were completely convinced. His decision was right.
As expected of a legendary Blacksmith Master. His forging skills were divine and ingenious!
“Is this the difference between us and the masters? The gap is enormous!” “Indeed, we can’t compare. Blacksmith Master’s comprehension and skills in forging are tar above ours.”
“I want to ask Blacksmith Master for advice…”
Seeing this, the retainer revealed a satisfied smile.
In the reception room of Silver Mountain Castle, the Earl of Silver Mountain pointed at the banquet table and said, “Master, come and eat.”
“My respected Earl, it’s alright. I had food before arriving. I am very full,” Levi said helplessly.
The Earl of Silver Mountain stood up and smiled, “Alright, then, Master, follow me. I’ll let you see my great collection.”
Levi followed him through a long corridor before arriving at a large round hall.
There were many breathing technique inheritance diagrams on the walls in exquisite frames, like oil paintings hanging on the walls.
Levi was very excited. He looked at the breathing technique inheritance diagrams. This was heaven for him.
Sensing Levi’s excitement, the Earl of Silver Mountain was quite pleased. To be able to make a Blacksmith Master so excited, it seemed that his collection was quite good.
“Master, I, Silver Mountain, have collected twenty-two breathing technique inheritance diagrams.”
The Earl of Silver Mountain asked with a smile as if he was communicating with his peers, “I wonder how many sets Master has in his collection?”
“Me? I only have a few pieces. I just started this line of work, so it can’t be compared to the Earl’s collection,” Levi said helplessly.
“D*mn it, if only I had a camera. I could take pictures of these inheritance diagrams individually and bring them back to cultivate. There’s no need to copy them at all.”
Levi’s heart skipped a beat.
Bloodline Breathing Techniques, which others regarded as useless and could only keep as a collection, was Levi’s most precious treasure.
The Earl of Silver Mountain smiled and said, “Master, the seventeen breathing techniques displayed outside are shallow bloodline breathing techniques.
They’re not worth mentioning. Let me show you something good.”
The Earl of Silver Mountain finally met a breathing technique collector who shared his hobby. He wanted to show off, so he gently pressed a button and brought Levi to the hall’s center.
Then, a stone platform slowly rose.
There were a total of five breathing technique inheritance diagrams on it.
“Of these five breathing technique inheritance diagrams, four are of excellent quality, and one is of perfect quality.”
“They belong to the five great families no weaker than our Silver Mountain family in history.”
The Earl of Silver Mountain sighed, “Time has passed, and the world has changed. Now, these families have long disappeared into the dust of history.”
The majority of the nobles in this world valued family inheritance more. Levi’s thoughts were a minority.
Levi looked at the perfect-grade breathing technique and saw a two-legged beast breathing flames on it, enjoying the worship of hundreds of small people.
Good heavens, there were more than a hundred tiny figures. Was this a perfect-grade breathing technique? It was indeed extraordinary!
“This is the Red Lotus Breathing Technique, the best one I have in my collection. The Bloodline Breathing Technique of the Red Lotus family, who perished six hundred years ago. Their family produced many legendary grand knights, including the Red Lotus Knight.
“Unfortunately, the grand knight had only appeared briefly before disappearing. If the Red Lotus Knight had successfully advanced to the legendary level, then the Red Lotus Breathing Technique would no longer be of perfect quality but legendary.
“In other words, one who was a legendary knight achieved the legendary breathing technique, not vice versa. There was no essential difference between a perfect and legendary-grade breathing technique.
“Master Tyra, you might not know this, but my Silver Mountain family’s Bloodline Breathing Technique is also… of excellent grade.
“If one day, I become legendary; then my Silver Mountain family will be legendary!
“Therefore, I sincerely invite you to join our Silver Mountain Castle. Only a legendary family can support such an outstanding legendary Blacksmith Master like you!
“If Master is willing to join me, I will give you one or two excellent breathing techniques here.”
The Silver Mountain Knight exuded a powerful aura, like a proud and confident silver beast!
Li Wei was slightly stunned. This Silver Mountain Knight was not just a simple Earl.
He did not expect that the Silver Mountain family’s breathing technique was actually at the perfect grade. This was even more advanced than his Black Snake family’s breathing technique.
As far as Levi knew, only the Duke of Montenegro’s family’s breathing technique was perfect among the Northern Seven Flying Cavalry.
From the looks of it, there was another—the Earl of Silver Mountain.
“Dear Earl, I appreciate your kindness. However, although I am only a Blacksmith Master, I do not like to depend on others. I have always believed that heroes create families, not that families create heroes,” Levi said.
This stunned the Earl of Silver Mountain, then he smiled and said, “Alright, it seems that Master’s ambition isn’t here, so I won’t force it.”
The Earl of Silver Mountain put down the display with the five breathing techniques.
In his deal with Levi, he only asked Levi to copy the shallow Bloodline Breathing Technique inheritance diagrams, not including these five.
“The Earl’s collection is really rich. I might need a lot of time to finish copying these diagrams,” Levi praised.
The Earl of Silver Mountain said politely, “Although these breathing techniques are useless, I have spent a lot of effort collecting them. As long as they do not destroy my authentic collection, Master, you may copy them without worry. I will ask the servants to bring you food if you are hungry. If you are sleepy, there are also many rooms in the castle for you to sleep in.”
“Thank you, Earl.”
Accompanied by the Silver Mountain Knight, Levi looked at the other 17 breathing techniques. Most were strength and speed-type breathing techniques, and a small portion was physique and defense.
However, there was no perception-type breathing technique like the Man-Faced Spider Breathing Technique.
From this, one could infer its uniqueness.
After admiring the diagrams, Levi took out the drawing board, parchment, and pen he had prepared beforehand.
He sat on the ground and began to draw under the Silver Mountain Knight’s gaze.
Initially, Levi wanted to find a random painter in Icewind City.
Only after he witnessed the painter’s level did he decide to do it himself to prevent himself from going insane from cultivating fake breathing techniques. He was confident in himself since he had personally come to do this.
With a thought, the proficiency panel appeared in Levi’s mind.
Besides Forging, Pharmacy, and Beast Taming lifestyle skills, there was a new lifestyle skill:
[Emulation: Level 2 (1/5000)]
Previously, Levi had practiced copying at home and had already reached the second stage of this skill..
