“What is it? Snow Demon?” Levi was sligh tly surprised.
The Earl of Silver Mountain nodded and brought Levi to the castle prison.
The prison of Silver Mountain Castle was busier than the one in Black Snake Castle. There were many criminals imprisoned here.
The prison was divided into two levels. The first level was for criminals among the commoners, while the second level was for knights and even peak knights.
Levi could not help but sigh. Fortunately, he had been careful enough when he was weak. Otherwise, the Earl of Silver Mountain would have locked him up.
As expected of a veteran noble. The Northern Seven Flying Cavalry was indeed powerful.
Finally, the Earl of Silver Mountain brought Levi to the most remote corner of the second floor.
Unlike other prisons, this prison cell was made of hard boulders wrapped in iron nets. It was very secure.
With Levi’s skill as a Blacksmith Master, he could tell at a glance that a trace of mithril was mixed in the iron net. Although little, it was there.
In this cell was a human-shaped monster with ragged clothes and light blue skin. Many of its bodies had rotted and even exposed its bones.
The human-shaped monster was currently pulling at the walls of the prison. Occasionally, when it bumped into the mithril iron bars, it would emit a puff of green smoke and then shrink back.
Levi looked carefully and saw the monster’s face.
It was not a face. It was more like the rotting zombies in Resident Evil or The Walking Dead. The light blue bones and teeth were exposed from the facial muscles.
The monster’s eyes were also emitting blue flames, similar to Levi’s two companions.
This terrifying Undead monster had become pervasive in the Northern Territory.
The Snow Demon!
At first glance, it looked like a zombie.
“Master, did you discover anything?” Earl of Silver Mountain said.
“Judging from the clothes these monsters wore when they were alive, they were living people. They were wearing clothes from the Evernight Kingdom. Their power source should be the Frost Heart in their bodies,” Levi said.
“That’s right, and after my experiments, these monsters are really afraid of mithril products. I only mixed a tael of mithril into these iron nets; they did not dare touch them. Once they did, their bodies were burned,” Earl of Silver Mountain said.
“However, if the mithril content is too little, they will ignore it. The higher the mithril content, the more damage it will cause them.”
“I once tried to tie a piece of pure mithril to its body, and very quickly, it burned a big hole.”
“If we were to use ordinary iron weapons to attack, even if the monster’s legs were chopped off, it would be able to rely on that mysterious power to heal slowly. ”
Earl of Silver Mountain’s expression was grim. This monster was beyond common sense. Ordinary mortals were no match for this monster.
It did not eat or drink and was unafraid of death. Moreover, as long as Frost Heart was still in its body, it was almost immortal.
To kill them, they had to be crushed into pieces. However, according to some people at the front line, some powerful Snow Demons could slowly heal after their entire skeleton was shattered, though their strength would plummet.
This was completely unreasonable.
Hearing this, Levi’s heart skipped a beat.
“My Magic Shark and Demon Mountain also use the same energy. Does this mean that the two of them can also heal their broken limbs?”
Levi asked, “What does Earl plan to do next? The Snow Demons are very likely heading south.”
The Earl of Silver Mountain sighed, “That’s right. It’s too difficult to unite everyone. What I can do now is strengthen the defense of Icewind City. When the Snow Demons come, I can protect my people.”
“Fortunately, I have the mithril equipment forged by you, Master. In the future, if those elite soldiers and knights use this equipment to fight against Snow Demons, it won’t be a problem for them. The difficulty lies in the production of mithril.”
“It’s fortunate for the Icewind City to have a leader like him,” Levi sighed.
After leaving Silver Mountain Castle, Levi thought about the Snow Demons.
All in all, they were not very strong. Their only strength was their undying bodies. However, Levi’s full set of mithril equipment could manage that.
After seeing the Snow Demon, Levi’s fear of the unknown lessened. Compared to evil spirits, it was still much weaker. It was equivalent to a strengthened version of a zombie, but it did not have the infectious ability of a zombie.
These were all monsters spawned by the Dark Wave.
“If possible, I can check out the situation at the Evernight Kingdom. Secondly, I can get more Frost Hearts to increase my proficiency with the Seal of Hell.”
“The materials for the other seals are hard to find, so let’s first push the level of the Seal of Flame and the Seal of Hell to the limit and see how effective they are.”
“With Magic Shark and Demon Mountain, as well as my strength, there shouldn’t be any danger in the Evernight Kingdom if I’m careful.’ Levi went to the Shining Tavern to check on his commission.
He also bought a Flying Fish Breathing Technique and a Mountain Troll Breathing Technique.
The Flying Fish Breathing Technique was a shallow Bloodline Breathing Technique. It was a speed-type technique. Levi judged from the number of miniature figures that it could be cultivated to the limit of level 5.
Flying fish, a legendary big fish that could swim in the sea and travel in the underworld. It was said that this creature fed on “cloud gas.”
“That’s right. After cultivating to the limit, I can sacrifice it to break the limits of the Siren Breathing Technique.”
Currently, the progress of the Siren Breathing Technique is (1/5). The Flying Fish Breathing Technique could increase the progress by 2 points.
The Mountain Troll Breathing Technique gave Levi a slight shock. There were a total of 30 miniature figures. Mountain Trolls were monsters mentioned in the legends of some regions. They had the power to move mountains.
Like the Man-Faced Spider Breathing Technique, the Mountain Troll Breathing Technique should be the best shallow bloodline breathing technique and could be cultivated to the peak of the sixth level.
This was a strength-type breathing technique with a limit of level 6, which could be converted into three points of breakthrough progress.
On the other hand, his Giant Rhinoceros Breathing Technique was still 3 points away from breaking through the limit.
“Perfect. The Giant Rhinoceros Breathing Technique will soon break through its limit.”
Levi was secretly delighted. With his current cultivation speed, it should take him at most three months to reach the limit of the Mountain Troll Breathing Technique.
Levi was very satisfied with his gains in breathing techniques.
He finally knew about the Frost Ape’s Blood required for the Giant Breathing Technique.
The person who provided the clue was a wandering knight from the Evernight Kingdom. As a mercenary of the kingdom, he went to the Evernight Kingdom to fight against Snow Demons.
He had heard that there was a region in the Evernight Kingdom where the natives believed in a totem called the Great Ice Ape King.
Levi quickly paid the bounty to the wandering knight and asked about the area where the native tribe was located.
“Icicle Islands in the Evernight Kingdom.”
Levi remembered the place’s name deep in his mind.
“Now we have another reason to go to the Evernight Kingdom.”
“The Core of the Undead or the Frost Ape’s Blood can only be obtained in the Evernight Kingdom.”
Ultimately, only the Evil Spirit Dust and the Turbellarian Egg were left. There was still no news.
This was especially true for the Turbellarian Egg. They were hard to find. Levi had been searching for them for so many years, but he had found nothing.
“If you can’t do it, prepare to cultivate harder,” thought Levi, helpless. As for the clues of the four great families, nothing could be gained.
These days, Levi had found a place to stay in Icewind City.
He had mastered the Flying Fish Breathing Technique and Mountain Troll Breathing Technique in two days.
[Flying Fish Breathing Technique: Level 1 (1/1000)]
[Mountain Troll breathing technique: Level 1 (1/1000)]
The secret medicine for the Flying Fish Breathing Technique was the seaside specialty, “Rain Swallow Nest.”
It was rumored that Rain Swallows liked to prey on big-winged fishes in the sea. They were small fishes that could ride the wind and waves on the sea’s surface and glide hundreds of meters. After these Rain Swallows swallowed it, they would digest it in their stomachs and spit it out. They would use the digested matter to make the “Rain Swallows Nest.”
This was a delicious food, and its price was high. However, for Levi, it was not a problem. Some medicinal herb shops in Icewind City sold dry Rain Swallow Nest.
Therefore, it was easy to cultivate.
The secret medicine required for the Mountain Troll Breathing Technique was the powder ground from Stone Turtle shells, also a common material.
In short, as long as it was not a breathing technique of Excellent quality or above, their secret medicines were relatively easy to find.
With the secret medicine, he could cultivate at a faster speed.
Since there was nothing much to do in the territory, Levi was not in a hurry to return to the territory and stayed in Icewind City.
Every afternoon and evening, Levi would take some time to go to the Shining Tavern and eavesdrop on the customers’ conversations.
He hoped to hear useful information from these conversations, such as about the four great families.
Of course, most of the time, it was useless.
The usual topics were the war in the south, rumors of evil spirits in certain areas. and where the Wilderness Brotherhood was doing evil-
This continued for many days.
Levi never stopped his daily homework.
Flame flow, Hell, Black Snake, Blood Whale, Flying Fish, Mountain Troll, Cross Slash…
If he had free time, he would spend it with the Turbellarian and Giants.
A month later, Levi’s Flying Fish and Mountain Troll were level 4.
After completing his transaction with Silver Mountain that day, he went to the tavern to eavesdrop on conversations.
With his Advanced Vibrosensing, he could hear many useful things.
During this period, he had used this method frequently.
He had unintentionally “picked up” a small amount of money in the wilderness. He had unintentionally punished a few robbers and “confiscated” their illegal gains. He had unintentionally found out how many mistresses a certain noble had and even some rumors about the Earl of Silver Mountain.
“Silver Mountain is a good -looking man. I knew it, such a handsome person….”
Levi was nosy.
“Fortunately, I’ve always been wearing a mask.”
Levi was very glad that he had been able to get the upper hand.
He came to eavesdrop again today.
“We can’t stay in Icewind City for now.”
“What’s wrong?”
“I heard…l heard, don’t tell anyone else, that an evil spirit broke into Icewind
City and attacked a church priest. That priest… The way he died was terrifying.
It was as if he had been strangled to death, and his eyeballs had popped out.”
“How do you know it’s an evil spirit? Could someone have deliberately created the illusion that the evil spirit was attacking? This had happened many times recently.”
“Impossible. Which thug could enter a heavily guarded cathedral? Moreover, the head priest of the Icewind Church is said to have personally taken action. That evil spirit wanted to possess the head priest but was severely injured by him. Now that the evil spirit has escaped, I don’t know who it has possessed. D*mn it; this is the terrifying thing. Because after the evil spirit successfully possesses someone, if it doesn’t act up, you won’t be able to see any difference.”
“There’s such a thing? Then I’ll have to leave for a while.”
On the other side, Levi suddenly frowned, drinking alone in a private room.
“An evil spirit?”
“It appeared in Icewind City.”
Thinking of this, Levi immediately returned to the hotel, packed his luggage, and prepared to leave..
