Levi huffed as he gripped the bill, slightly crumpling the parchnt paper.
I need to calm down, he huffed. No matter what, laws and regulations are made to protect the interests of the powerful.
The amount posted here is a bit expensive, Levi said while smiling. Im afraid we can only pay in instalnts for now.
Then, you shall pay the interest plus the taxes incurred for the next ten years. From now on, Blackwater Valley is required to pay 150 gold coins to the Church annually, the priest said in a calculative manner as if he were already expecting this.
I agree, Levi nodded defeatedly. Theres no way to refuse them, but who knows what will happen within ten years?
After signing the contract, Pastor Abraham and Knight Shimr left Blackwater Valley.
Levi and Knight Fred stared at their disappearing figures in the distance, and Levis heart was filled with murderous intent.
How about we plan his assassination? Knight Fred asked as he stared into the distance. With our strength, it wont be difficult getting through Knight Shimr.
Its useless. If Abraham dies, the Church will send other pastors, or worse, the Radiant Knights. Money isnt a problem for us, but sooner or later, I will take it all back with interest, Levi spoke harshly as he turned away to continue training.
The Church the Wild Boar Gang They are re bullies who prey on the weak. Knight Fred is nearly half a century old, and his strength is gradually declining. Levi has to endure and beco stronger himself.
Anger is aningless when you are weak.
I have a proficiency panel, so I will beco stronger regardless. I cant die because of impulse reactions.
He continued practising the Black Snake Breathing thod and comprehending the Frost Wolf Breathing thod. He continued to forge iron and manage his people, and he barely had any ti for himself.
1006, the Month of Warmth
The climate in Blackwater Valley was comfortablenot too hot or cold.
It has been two months since Levi acquired the Frost Wolf Breathing thod.
Just as he was about to give up, he decided to practise it one last ti. Suddenly, that long-lost yet familiar feeling ca creeping up on him.
He hurriedly opened his proficiency panel in his mind.
Levi Snyder
Black Snake Breathing thod: Level 3 (6467/10000)
Frost Wolf Breathing thod: Level 1 (1/1000)
Golden Cross Slash: Level 3 (7000/10000), Special Effect: Vibrate (Advanced)
Beast Taming: Level 3 (Max); Special Effect: Heart of the Wild
Forging: Level 3 (4123/10000), Special Effect: High-Quality Goods
Finally!
Levi yelled and jumped up and down excitedly. Once it appears on his proficiency panel, the next steps will be much easier.
He hasnt felt this excited in such a long ti. This breakthrough ans that he can acquire other blood-locked breathing thods.
If he could get it on his panel, hed be unstoppable.
When I beco stronger, I must find a way to collect the strongest breathing thods. Even if I cant beco a wizard, I should be able to stand on top of the world regardless!
Perhaps he could surpass a Legendary Knight and beco a living god.
Just for a mont, the haze of being robbed by the Church has swept away.
Abraham, you old dog. Just you wait
Levi returned to training.
And the days passed just like this.
Soon, it was ti to comnce his trade. He led a team of n to transport the armour and weapons he had forged to the Shining Tavern in the City of Icy Winds, where he sold them to the unknown Knight as promised.
A total of six sets of armour and nearly a hundred swords were sold for about 300 gold coins. Unfortunately, the Knight who sold ambergris was nowhere to be found, and there was no ambergris left in the Chamber of Comrce.
In the end, he returned to the territory three hundred gold coins richer.
With a completely depleted iron source
Levi, in a pinch, rembered how to locate iron ore from his previous life.
In order to keep up with the supply of iron, many of his military n were assigned to dig mines, chop wood, burn charcoal, and slt iron after their training. In a way, he was training them to be blacksmith apprentices.
Levi intends to make forging an important industry in the Blackwater Valley in order to ensure stability. Once Milan becos a qualified blacksmith and his father is rescued, Levi will be able to take a breather.
The division of labour was incredibly efficient, and the output of equipnt was increasing rapidly.
Of course, Levi would not treat his n badly. Blacksmith apprentices who had great performances throughout the year would be rewarded with 1 gold coin, which made them very happy.
In the Month of the Furnace, four sets of armour and fifty swords were forged in a single month.
Soon, the season of wheat harvesting ca.
When this years wheat was harvested, Levi was pleasantly surprised to find that wheat production had increased by 5% after implenting his new system.
This was an unprecedented increase.
Sure enough, the best way to increase productivity is to care for and look after his people.
In addition, Levis Frost Wolf Breathing thod was also progressing very quickly. This breathing thod also has its own dicine, but it is very simple to make; the main ingredient of the dicine is wolf at.
And wolf at is plentiful in Levis castle. In fact, he eats wolf at every day.
With a sufficient supply of wolf at, his Frost Wolf Breathing thod has hit Level 3 in just four months.
Of course, he didnt neglect his Black Snake Breathing thod.
