‘Who are you?” The Silversilk Lady’s expression changed. She had roughly guessed that it must be the killers sent by the great southern nobles who had chased them to the Tuva Empire.
“I beg you, we are innocent. Please don’t kill us.” The Silversilk Lady suddenly Imelt on the ground. She even pulled her daughter, who had yet to figure out the situation, down and knelt on the ground with her.
“Madam, where’s your husband?” Levi asked.
“He went to report on his work.” The Silversilk Lady did not dare to raise her head. She lowered her head, her long eyelashes trembling as she spoke in a low voice.
“Then I’ll wait for him to return.” Levi found a place to sit down.
“You guys sit down too. I’m just a friend of the Earl of Silversilk. I won’t do anything to you.” Levi said.
To dispel the Silversilk Lady’s doubts, Levi kept chatting with the mother and daughter.
They talked about some local customs and strange things.
The innocent girl giggled at Levi’s humor.
In order not to embarrass Levi, the Silversilk Lady smiled awkwardly but politely.
The mother and daughter were busy preparing a sumptuous dinner for Levi.
When the Earl of Silversilk finished his report and returned to the mansion, he was dumbfounded.
Five brawny men were sitting at a long table in his house. The one in the lead was still enjoying the delicious food. His wife was scooping soup for him. There were tears on her face…
In an instant, the Earl of Silversilk realized what was going on. He thought he was cuckolded.
“D*mn it, what did you do to them? Why did you hurt my family, you b* stards!” The Earl of Silversilk cursed.
“Lord Earl, long time no see.” Levi took off the White Wolf Mask. He saw that Silversilk’s expression had changed from astonishment to shock, and then disbelief.
“Black Snake Knight… Wait, you’re Levi? Why are you here?” Silversilk instantly drew his sword and attacked Levi.
The Silversilk knight was just an ordinary grand Imight with average strength.
In Levi’s eyes, his movements were too slow.
Levi gently dodged Silversilk’s attack, and then the Golden Wave Divine Palm smashed Silversilk’s sword.
He grabbed the Earl of Silversilk’s arm and slapped him with his palm. The Earl of Silversilk crashed into the wall of his mansion like a kite with a broken string and spat out a mouthful of blood.
In front of Levi, an ordinary grand knight would not be able to withstand a single blow!
Looking at Levi, who was like a demon king, the Silversilk Lady and her daughter were terrified. The powerful husband in the lady’s heart and the invincible God of War in her daughter’s heart.
In front of this person, they felt so fragile.
“You killed the Duke of Montenegro, and you killed the Bloody Earl, right? I finally know why the Duke of Montenegro disappeared that day. It was you. I didn’t expect you to have grown to such a terrifying level after not seeing you for more than ten years. The Black Snake Knight has a good son.”
“Kill me and let my family go. They don’t know what happened back then. I
swear in the name of the Silversilk family that they will never appear in front of you again!” The Earl of Silversilk knew that he was no match for Levi, and he only hoped that his family could continue to exist.
“Hand over the breathing technique inheritance diagram and your wealth,” Levi said.
“I can take it out, but can you let my family live? We didn’t kill you back then,” the Earl of Silversilk said.
“It’s precisely because you didn’t kill me that you have today.” Levi sneered.
“Hand over the items, and I will let your wife and daughter die quickly. Otherwise, you don’t want to see your beautiful wife and kind-hearted daughter being tortured by me in front of you,” Levi said.
“You…” The Earl of Silversilk almost fainted.
However, he still did as Levi said.
Levi had obtained the Silversilk family’s remaining wealth and the breathing technique inheritance diagram.
The Silversilk family did not have much wealth left, and most of it had been used by the Earl of Silversilk to buy official positions. To Levi, this bit of money was better than nothing.
The breathing technique inheritance diagram was a strength-type breathing technique at the Maximum of the eighth level. Levi had already learned too many strength-type breathing techniques and could not learn them all at once, so he had no intention of learning this one for the time being.
After killing the Silversilk knight, he ended the lives of the other members of the Silversilk family.
Any potential enemy had to be eradicated, cutting off all possible threats.
Levi piled their corpses together and set the Silversilk Mansion ablaze.
“Let’s go, Demon Hai.” Levi patted the Earl of Silversilk’s shoulder and left.
That’s right, he had turned the Earl of Silversilk into a living dead.
He replaced the severely damaged Old Demon Hai, whose combat strength had greatly decreased.
During the battle with the Duke of Montenegro, Levi’s army of the living dead suffered heavy losses. The Specter had been cut in half on the spot, and Magic Shark, Demon Hai, and Demon Mountain had also suffered heavy injuries.
Now that he had finally replaced them with new ones, they did not lose an arm or a leg.
If there was a chance in the future, Levi would replace all the living dead with the top-tier grand knight. For now, he could only make do with them. Black smoke rose as the inner city of the Holy City burst into flames. When the guards arrived, all that was left was scorched earth.
“It’s the mansion of the Earl of Silversilk…”
“Most likely, it’s the enemies of the Emerald Kingdom who are here to seek revenge.”
After investigating for a while, the empire stopped further investigation.
Since they had already received a huge sum of money from the Earl of Silversilk, the rest did not matter.
This position could be sold to others who needed it.
Levi, who had already avenged himself, felt empty.
He didn’t feel very refreshed. To him, he didn’t take these people to heart from the beginning.
These people were nothing more than unremarkable waves on the path of a wizard.
Levi did not return to the Black Water Valley but headed towards the capital.
He wanted to find the Winchester Family in the capital and establish contact with them first.
Emerald Capital City.
The once thriving land now appeared somewhat desolate.
The many years of civil war had drained the country’s vitality.
When Levi arrived at the capital, he saw the soldiers and civilians celebrating the fall of Storm City.
“Without realizing it, I’ve done a good deed for the kingdom. Sigh, I’m always like this, doing good deeds without leaving my name.” Levi sighed.
If he had not killed the Duke of Montenegro, the war might not have ended like this.
However, in general, such an outcome was better than the Duke of Montenegro becoming a king and ruling the empire. He would wait for the Duke of Montenegro to establish a unified Montenegro Mountain Empire and become the Emperor of Black Mountain.
Under the circumstances where he had the power of the whole country, it was difficult for Levi to deal with the Duke of Montenegro.
In the distance, the majestic and tall cathedral came into view.
“The headquarters of the Church of Holy Light.”
“There might be even more secrets of the wizard and gods hidden in here.” Levi sighed in his heart.
The two years of war did not affect the Church at all.
On the contrary, the hardships of the war led more people to believe in the benevolent Heavenly Father, and the Church prospered during the war.
Therefore, when the Church faced secular wars, they would usually not help or interfere. They allowed the conflicts to unfold as long as their preaching was not disrupted.
From the Duke of Montenegro, Levi only knew that Winchester was in the capital, but he was unsure of the exact location.
He frequented the Shining Tavern in the capital, spending afternoons drinking wine and eavesdropping on others’ conversations.
A month later, Levi, who had been waiting in the tavern every day, finally heard the words “Winchester” from the mouth of a waiter.
“Winchester…This surname is rare.”
“Winchester…Winchester.”
Levi glanced over and saw a middle-aged gentleman with a cashmere hat, smiling as he accepted the wine from the waiter..
