Chapter 204: Black Snake Breaks Its Limit! (1)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In Emerald King City, the young king listened to the news.
“Baron Black Snake…”
The king brought up distant memories.
He had almost forgotten that there was such a family.
According to the kingdom’s laws, Baron Levi was the legal heir of Tulip Hill and Stormy Hill.
However, because of the Duke of Montenegro Mountain’s interference, the royal family had initially wanted to turn a blind eye and take back the two territories.
The Black Snake Family had been silent for too long. He thought Levi, the heir, would not care about this matter.
Unexpectedly, Levi chose to come to the South because of the Snow Demon calamity.
The king summoned his ministers to discuss this matter.
In the end, everyone reached a consensus.
That was to let this matter pass and not mention it again.
After all, the kingdom was unreasonable from the beginning.
The kingdom, which had just ended a long war, was extremely fragile. It was on the verge of death.
The kingdom no longer wanted to make a big fuss.
Moreover, Baron Levi seemed to be a top-notch grand knight like his father. Even the Red Willow Divine Sword of the Seven Godly Swords was no match for him.
Baron Levi was still in his prime. At this time, there was no need to become enemies with a top-notch grand knight.
Besides, Levi knew that the Black Snake Knights and their soldiers had sacrificed their lives for the country.
However, the kingdom had tacitly allowed the Duke of Montenegro Mountain to take over the kingdom’s territory, which was also a mistake. This caused the Duke of Montenegro to become more arrogant and eventually catalyzed the rebellion.
Therefore, everyone thought about it and decided that letting Baron Levi return to his territory was the most suitable choice.
With the gifts of the kingdom, the emissaries set off for Tulip Hill.
Not long after, in Stormy Hill, the Nation Guarding Divine Sword also led his team to evacuate from this place.
In the last few days of the year 1014 of the Holy Brilliance Calendar.
Levi also received a reply from the kingdom.
The kingdom had approved of his actions.
He was legal in the first place, so the kingdom could not say anything.
Otherwise, if the power of the nobles were shaken, the king would not be able to sit firmly as the alliance’s leader.
Levi replied, expressing his gratitude and loyalty to the kingdom and flattering the new king.
Then, the Duke of Red Willow came with a dark expression. He brought ransom money to take his son and his army away.
Levi also readily let him go.
If looks could kill, Duke of Red Willow’s old eyes could kill him countless times.
After all, he was the one who crippled the future star of their clan, the Red
Willow Divine Sword.
However, this old fellow could not say anything. He had also received compensation from the kingdom.
Moreover, even his son was no match for Levi. Levi’s current strength was more significant than the Black Snake Knight from back then.
Gradually, the Southern nobles knew that the mighty “Black Snake” had returned and was entrenched in Tulip Hill.
Levi’s fame also began to spread on a small scale.
The titles of “Giant Bear Lord” and “Black Snake Lord” also began to spread.
Although this was not what Levi wanted, he could do nothing about it.
Keeping a low profile was not to suffer grievances. Sometimes, it was better to have a fierce reputation for avoiding trouble.
Of course, there had to be a limit.
That was enough for now. From now on, he just had to live a stable life. People could be famous but not too prominent. The fattest pigs were the easiest to send to the slaughterhouse.
“No matter what, I can live a more stable life now,” Levi murmured.
He heard that the Snow Demons of the Northern Territory had appeared at the edge of the Earl of Silver Mountain’s territory.
This made him very glad that he had moved to the South.
How could he cultivate if he stayed in the north and was worried daily?
Sometimes, people had to admit defeat.
Facing the Snow Demon calamity in the Icewind City, Levi could only wish luck to his old friend, the Earl of Silver Mountain.
Levi was not very happy after taking back Tulip Hill and Stormy Hill.
With so many territories, it was troublesome.
Especially since Stormy Hill and Tulip Hill were not close to each other.
He was also lacking talents in his territory.
Levi’s focus was always on cultivation, and he could not waste too much energy on the territory.
He had no choice but to spend a lot of money to recruit talents to help him manage his territory.
Previously, he only needed to manage the Black Water Valley, and the talent problem was not prominent.
Tulip Hill and Stormy Hill were both famous.
Levi knew that many people were coveting his territory.
Recruited talents were not as sure as those nurtured by oneself.
However, Levi had no choice. His heart was not on this territory. He did not want to give up his family’s business now that he was a lord.
“Don’t provoke me. I’m great to get along with. Really…” Levi muttered.
He hoped that the great nobles in the South would be sensible. Otherwise, there might be fewer great knights in this world.
After settling the matters of the territory, Levi cultivated in peace, waiting for the fire paper to burn.
It was the year 1015 of the Holy Brilliance Calendar.
Levi gave a speech in Flower City and officially announced his return.
The kingdom even sent messengers to congratulate him.
This surprised Levi.
It had been more than ten years since Levi had transmigrated to this world.
He had also grown from a little boy to a 25-year-old man..
