The shadow of the Frost Giant emerged from behind the white wolf mask. He was tall and powerful, like a god or demon, looking down on all living beings.
This shocking scene will always be fixed in the mind of Vice-President Yathos.
Click, click.
The blood in his body began to cool down rapidly and coagulate.
On his body surface, the water vapor in the air condensed here, layer by layer, forming frost.
But in his heart, there was a powerful life seed shaped like a goat.
Endless black energy suddenly burst out, like a warm current, protecting his heart.
This gave him a glimmer of hope.
The stiff body seemed to be recovering.
But that's all.
The next moment, in the midst of Levi's low singing.
The blazing yellow and white flames, wrapped in the blazing air current, hit the face with high temperature!
Athos struggled desperately, trying to avoid all this, but his body didn't obey his orders at all.
This feeling of watching danger coming but not being able to avoid it is really terrifying!
His armor was scorched black, and the high temperature made Athos want to scream, but his previously frozen throat could not make a sound.
This painful feeling, like a ghost pressing down on the bed, made him feel the fear he had not seen for a long time.
After becoming a Grand Knight, he possesses power far beyond that of ordinary people, and he is rarely afraid.
Even if he was at a disadvantage in the battle with the Silver Mountain Knight and lost to the enemy, he knew that his life was not in danger and he was just a little injured.
However, all the situations in front of him made him know that he had met a truly powerful enemy.
The other person might not even be a knight!
More like the legendary... wizard!
A wizard who is good at melee combat!
Under the opponent's sudden attack of witchcraft, Athos had no power to resist and fell into passivity from the beginning of the battle.
Athos was worried, he also had a supernatural trump card similar to his opponent.
It was a snuff bottle that could summon the "Lord Lamp", a powerful evil spirit, to fight for him.
But the damn thing is, not only can I not move now, but I can't make any sound from my throat at all!
This is so hopeless!
After being roasted by the flames,
The cross sword light was as dazzling as the stars, and it shattered Athos' armor with its unparalleled high-level ripple power.
Levi's Frostmourne has pierced Athos's chest.
Athos's heart was penetrated, and the life seed inside, the goat-like monster desperately used black energy to sew Athos's heart, but to no avail.
The poison of the Tears of the Human-Faced Spider has begun to spread in his body.
The battle was over at this moment, and Athos was dying.
Li Wei used daggers and arrows to nail the bald man's limbs to a big tree.
"Hey, have you heard of Hog Rider? Man." A hoarse and deep voice came from under the white wolf mask.
Desperate Athos was filled with doubts, and he knew he was about to die.
He wanted to summon the lantern to come out, but he could no longer make a sound.
Levi thought that Athos didn't want to answer him.
"If you don't want to say it, then go die."
Levi couldn't help but sigh under the mask. He shattered Athos's heart, and the goat-shaped life seed was burned out by the flames in reluctance.
Levi panted, although this battle was completely crushing.
But he was still very nervous. When fighting the great knight, he had to concentrate and never relax.
This time, in order to give full play to the power of the Frost Giant's Sigh, Levi was very close to Athos, and the terrifying frost instantly froze Athos.
Even the great knight was powerless to fight back.
Levi exhaled a breath of cold air. Naturally, the spell would not accidentally hurt him, but he could still feel the real cold.
Li Wei was cleaning the battlefield. The soldiers were very weak, not even the knights. They came out to fight and naturally had nothing valuable on them. Li Wei piled them all together and burned them.
Even the vice president, who seemed to be named Yathos, didn't have anything valuable on him, just a few gold coins, which was better than nothing.
"The most valuable thing is the body of Athos."
"My Seal of Hell will reach the second level soon. Then I can control two living dead, two living dead guardians at the level of a great knight. This is a treatment that only kings and popes can enjoy." Levi was delighted.
Suddenly, something rolled down from Athos' body, attracting Levi's attention.
It was a black snuff bottle.
"What is this?" Levi frowned inwardly and became alert at the same time.
There is no change in the spider sense, so there should be no danger.
However, Levi was not sure. After all, the spider sense was not completely correct.
At the same time, Levi noticed that some of the patterns and patterns on the snuff bottle seemed familiar.
"By the way, it's similar to the pattern on the frost giant's armor."
Levi lifted up the frost giant's armor and compared it.
Sure enough, although the content of the patterns is different, the style is indeed the same.
"This snuff bottle seems to have a spell solidified on it."
"Is it possible that this is something from a wizard?"
Thinking of this, Levi was extremely cautious. It was not suitable to stay here for a long time. He prepared the seal of protection, and then left here with the snuff bottle and Athos' body.
…
The battle lasted for a day and a night.
There is no longer the great knight Athos holding the battle.
The Silver Mountain Knights, combined with the armor-piercing crossbows on the city wall, successfully defeated four ice rhinos.
The death of this strategic siege beast put the Wilderness Brotherhood's army at a sudden disadvantage.
Finally, after the coach failed to wait for the vice president to come to support him, Ming Jin withdrew his troops, and the army began to withdraw, leaving only corpses on the ground.
The opponent has a big knight, coupled with their heavy cavalry and well-trained troops. Without a big knight on our side, it is difficult to break the city, so we can only think of other ways.
Of course, Earl Yinshan also suffered a lot of losses, but his family has a big business, so he can still bear this loss.
Earl Yinshan himself also suffered a lot of injuries, and there was no winner in the war.
Inside Yinshan Castle.
Earl Yinshan is recovering from his injuries and listening to the reports from his men.
"Didn't find Atos?" Yinshan asked with a frown.
"Yes, but our spies inquired and learned that Athos does not seem to have appeared in the Wilderness Brotherhood these days. He has disappeared mysteriously, including the team he led."
"Then we found traces of a battle in the direction where Athos escaped. Although the traces were artificially erased, we can still tell that it was a battle at the level of a great knight."
"We suspect that Athos encountered a knight-level enemy when he was evacuating. He is most likely dead."
The subordinates said, feeling unbelievable in their hearts.
A strong man at the level of a great knight died inexplicably in a small forest like this. This sounds indeed horrifying.
"Continue the investigation and make sure to find out the whereabouts of Athos."
Earl Yinshan said as he endured the severe pain of healing.
"If Athos is really dead, who in this Icewind City has the strength to kill Athos? Shining Tavern?"
It is currently unclear whether this unknown knight is an enemy or a friend, and Earl Yinshan does not dare to let down his guard.
He would not naively think that the other person who killed Yathos was his friend.
In this world, there are no friends, only interests.
Levi did not return to Icewind City. Icewind City had been too chaotic recently, and his goal was achieved, so he went back to the territory directly.
He used preservatives, mercury and other materials to treat the body of the great knight Athos, preparing to turn it into a "living dead" after the second level of the Seal of Hell.
Levi looked at all this with satisfaction, patted the magic shark on the shoulder and said: "You will have a companion in the future."
Then Li Wei was fully armed and had his guardian seal ready, always ready to activate.
Only then did he take out the "snuff bottle" that was suspected to be a wizard's item.
"What the hell is this?"
"There's no instruction manual or anything."
In this regard, it is not as good as the witch Gullweger.
It's a pity that Athos is dead, otherwise Levi could ask him.
He looked at the snuff bottle carefully. The lid could be unscrewed.
However, Levi would naturally not do such cerebral paralysis things that only brain-dead protagonists in horror movies would do.
If there was any evil spirit sealed inside, I was afraid that I would die suddenly on the spot.
In the end, Li Wei studied for a long time but failed to come up with anything useful.
"Forget it, seal it first."
Levi sealed the snuff bottle in a Russian box.
There are iron ones, silver ones, wooden ones, even pure gold ones, etc.
This gave him a little peace of mind, but for safety reasons, the snuff bottle Levi was not placed in the shelter.
And under a tree buried in the territory.
He planned to wait until he advanced to become a Great Knight and mastered the Seal of Dragon Power before trying to force it open.
After all, there may be clues to the wizard in it, so Levi naturally can't give up.
"The witch Gullwig, the witch Luo Lin, the exorcism handbook, the wizard's snuff bottle, there are more and more clues."
Li Wei was in a good mood and took a look at the situation in the territory. Nothing happened recently, so he focused on his proficiency in the Seal of Liver Hell.
…
Year 1010 of the Holy Calendar, the Moon of the Furnace.
The Emerald Kingdom is in shambles. The new king ascends the throne and calls on the nobles to join forces to crusade against the Duke of Montenegro for his betrayal of the alliance.
He also implored the church to dispatch the Knights of Radiance to impose sanctions on the Duke of Montenegro.
The church was busy liquidating the heretical Brotherhood of the Wilderness and ignored the king's entreaties.
The fiefdoms of many small nobles in the south have been captured by the Black Mountain army with overwhelming force.
The southern nobles had been comfortable for too long and were unable to organize an effective resistance in the face of the menacing Montenegrin army.
However, under the organization of the Emerald New King, a southern coalition was finally established, and together with the royal family, they launched a counterattack against the Duke of Montenegro.
The civil war in the Tuva Empire, which is suffering from the same disease next door, is still continuing.
Because of the disappearance of the Imperial Fists, fewer and fewer people support the Imperial Fists, and more and more people join the rebellion.
It is only a matter of time before the rebels unify the country.
And it seems that everyone has forgotten the threat of those snow monsters in the far north.
As for Icewind City, the situation is not very good either.
There had been a civilian riot in the city before, which made Earl Yinshan anxious for a while. Finally, it was found out that he was indeed a member of the Wilderness Brotherhood.
These people were beheaded as a warning to others.
But the subsequent riots did not abate.
And with the Wilderness Brotherhood attacking everywhere.
The "Lord of the Wilderness", a heretical god that the church regarded as an "evil god", began to appear more in everyone's sight.
What some civilians call "Heaven's kind father above" has unknowingly turned into "Chaos is above" or "The Lord of the Wilderness is above".
This is probably why the church ignores the disputes among the nobles and is obsessed with eradicating the Wilderness Brotherhood.
Even if the aristocratic forces were completely reshuffled and the Emerald Kingdom became the Black Mountain Empire, there would be no difference to the church.
The Father in Heaven is still the only true God of this new kingdom.
However, the rise of the "Lord of the Wilderness" is undoubtedly crowding out the foundation of the church's faith. For the Holy Glory Church, these cultists who spread heretical beliefs are the primary enemy.
After many twists and turns, Levi finally learned the whereabouts of the Boar Rider. The Boar Rider died while being sent out by Athos to perform a mission...
"Damn it, why can't you wait for me!" Levi sighed with regret in his heart.
Although Levi failed to kill Hog Rider himself in the end, after many efforts, he finally brought back old Toby who was doing well in the Wilderness Brotherhood, and learned about it from old Toby. A lot of information about the Wilderness Brotherhood.
Lao Tuo was even older than he is now, so Levi didn't let him do the forging anymore, but just asked him to take over the responsibility of leading the newcomers.
Xiao Milan can already stand alone, and it's time for him to enjoy his old age.
Levi had no idea of revenge against the Wilderness Brotherhood. That was the church's business, and he didn't want the church to use his labor force in vain.
In troubled times, bandits are even more rampant.
Even the Blackwater Valley, which had been peaceful in the past years, had been invaded by many bandits and wandering knights.
However, in the face of Li Wei's Red Blood Cavalry Legion and his combat power that was close to that of a great knight, they were all easily annihilated. One by one, a group of them died.
Even the Church of Abraham was burned, killed, and looted by thugs affiliated with the Wilderness Brotherhood.
Charafor shamelessly asked Levi for help, and Levi naturally agreed to Charafor's request.
During an invasion, he asked his militia to provide a helping hand, which made Chalaver very satisfied with Levi.
Then three nights later, another group of mobs, led by a masked villain, released poison late at night, killed a group of clergy, burned, killed and looted, causing heavy losses to the church.
The shameless priest Chalaver was so furious that he suffered a heart attack and lay in bed for several days before he recovered.
In this regard, the good neighbor Baron Levi strongly condemned the villains and encouraged Pastor Chalaver to face all these difficulties with a smile.
In a chaotic world, absurd things happen every day.
Li Wei also went further and further on the road of liver. When liver reached the edge of the universe, the road of liver would be wiped out.
Finally, during the Moon in the Wheat Field, Levi reached the second level of the Hell Seal that he had been thinking about.
It’s 38.6 in the morning, 37.4 at noon, and 38.4 again in the evening. I’ve been lying down all day, and the temperature keeps going back and forth. Looking at the dwindling archives, being sick is too much of a delay, but I still have enough for four or five days, so don’t worry. I stopped updating.
Everyone should try not to go out now. My boss and I went to work on Monday, and now both of us have fevers...
