In the year 1003 of the Sacred Hui calendar, the month of the north wind (November).

Emerald Kingdom, Black Mountain Province, Lake County, Blackwater Valley.

The plains of the valley are covered in snow, smoke curling from cooking, and a few small wooden huts are scattered.

On the high ground, a not-so-majestic castle is built against a hill, and the collapsed towers and battlements all show the downfall of the castle's owner.

On the hillside outside the castle, in a pile of dead grass half-covered by snow and ice, a cute snow hare is foraging for food while guarding the enemy.

Seventy meters away, a young man in a white leather jacket, a white velvet hat, and brown snow boots hid behind a tree with a crooked neck, blending in with the white snow behind him.

I saw him slowly reach out and draw his bow and arrows, the bow was a military bow rather than an ordinary hunting bow.

Then, with the sound of arrows breaking through the air, the next moment, the snow hare fell to the ground, and the iron arrow shot its head.

[Archery Mastery +1]

[Archery: 1st Order (9999/10000)→1st Order (Extreme)]

"You can eat roast rabbit meat in the evening."

Levi licked his lips, and with a thought in his mind, he opened the proficiency panel

Levi Snecker—————

Archery: 1st Order (Extreme)

Riding: 1st Order (Extreme)

Noble Dance: First Order (Extreme)

Basic Fighting: First Order (Extreme)

Basic Swordsmanship: 1st Order (Extreme)

……

Looking at the proficiency panel in his mind, the corners of Levi's mouth rose.

"The most difficult archery skills to improve have also reached the limit, and now in the effective range of the bow and arrow and within my field of vision, any prey that I am targeting can be able to hit every shot, looking at the history of the kingdom, my archery skills are enough to be called an archer. And I'm just a knight boy who has been practicing for two and a half years. ”

"In two and a half years, the five basic skills that knights and acolytes need to master: riding, shooting, dancing, fighting, and swords, I have all practiced to the limit, exceeded the task, and my physical fitness has almost been exercised, and I should be qualified to learn breathing."

"Only by learning the breathing method can you become a real knight, barely saving your life in this world where natural disasters and man-made disasters are continuous, and the law of the jungle even has hidden supernatural powers."

"After all, the original owner of this body may have been killed by [evil spirits]."

Levi is not indigenous to this world.

Rather, three years ago, in the first millennium of the Divine Hui Calendar, the traverser who was reborn into this noble disciple, the golden finger was the proficiency panel in his mind.

Judging from the last memory of the original owner before his death, when the original owner was fishing in the Heishui River, he caught a white-clothed female corpse with empty eyes and a cloak of hair, her face was pale and swollen, and her swollen skin was still spraying water, which was suspected to be an evil spirit described in the folklore of this world: a water nymph.

Then the original owner fell into eternal darkness until he was possessed by himself.

Later, the Baron's retainer, Fred Knight, found himself soaking wet, sleeping by the river, with a foul stench of aquatic plants and stinky fish and shrimp around him, and muttering inexplicable mantra-like dream words such as "I don't have an air force".

The real knight still thought that Young Master Levi was angry and mad because he couldn't catch a fish, and he lost his mind and tried to catch a fish in the water himself, which led to this scene.

And Levi naturally didn't talk about the encounter with the evil spirits to others, otherwise it would be difficult to explain that he was still alive after encountering the evil spirits.

But the evil spirit has become Levi's psychological shadow, and he still does not dare to go to the banks of the Blackwater River.

In fact, judging from what Li Wei currently knows, the legend of evil spirits has existed since ancient times, but the vast majority of people have not seen it.

It's as if there is a legend of a "wizard" in this world, a transcendent being who has mastered wind, thunder, earth, and fire, but no one has ever seen it.

Even the well-informed Fred Knight, who traveled around the Emerald Kingdom as a young man, only regarded wizards as legends.

"Wizard, what a noble and mysterious profession, no matter how strong a knight is, he is just a powerful Muggle, compared to a wizard, it is like a martial artist and a cultivator."

Levi longed for most legends, so after seeing the real existence of evil spirits, Levi firmly believed that there must be wizards in this world, and it was not just the fictional legend of the bard.

But he also knew that now with his own ability, the pursuit of wizards was too illusory, looking up at the starry sky, and he had to be down-to-earth.

Therefore, since the age of ten, Levi has been constantly training his knight five arts, and now, with the help of the proficiency panel, in less than three years, Levi has practiced all the five knight arts to the limit.

Levi is confident that the vast majority of official knights, such as His Excellency Fred, are not as strong as themselves in terms of the basic knightly five arts, especially the archery skills that Levi is proud of.

Twelve-year-old Li Wei is now 1.75 meters tall, looks powerful, tiger-backed and bear-waisted, except for his face is a little juvenile and childish, in other places, he is stronger than many adult men.

In this otherworldly world of extremely low productivity, most of the malnourished civilian males who grew up eating black bread were not as strong as Levi.

This is a backward era when cold weapons are king, and the strong body coupled with the knight's plate armor weighing dozens of catties occupies an advantage in battle that is far from being comparable to the weak body.

Now, everything is ready, all that's left is breathing.

The breathing method is not learned as early as possible, if the physical fitness is not enough, if you forcibly learn it, it will damage the body at least and go crazy at worst.

This is also the reason why knight squires are required to learn basic swordsmanship and basic fighting to exercise their bodies before becoming knight squires.

In a good mood, Levi picked up the snow rabbit on the ground and turned to go home.

At the bottom of the hillside, a middle-aged knight with silver hair looked at Levi with a smile on his face and said in a tone of great relief.

"If the old man is still here, he should be very happy to see your archery skills."

This is the Knight of Fred, known to his enemies and servants as the "Knight of the Vulture", a man that the Baron told Levi to be absolutely trustworthy.

In fact, it was true that for Levi, he spent far less time with the baron than Knight Fred.

Therefore, to a certain extent, the relationship between teachers and students or master and servant with Fred Knight is stronger than the blood relationship with the baron.

"Your Excellency Fred, I haven't done enough, I want to learn the breathing method and become a real knight as soon as possible, winter is coming, the long night is coming, the wandering knights or robbers in the wilderness may invade our territory at any time, threatening our safety, and I can't live under your protection forever."

"After my father's death, we have lost the turquoise territory in the south, the mineral-rich storm territory in the east, and the barren and remote Blackwater Valley is our last home."

"I'm the only bloodline in the family, and for the sake of the Sneiker family, I have to become stronger!"

"Glory to the Black Serpent! And I'm ready! ”

Levi looked unwilling, clenched his hands into fists, and worked hard to act.

The "Black Snake of the Candle" is the family emblem of the Sneiker family, so the Sneike family is also known as the "Black Snake Family".

His father, Baron Thorde Sneck, is not only the Black Serpent Knight, one of the "Seven Hussars of the North" that everyone talks about, but also a true Grand Knight, but also the Count of Tulip Collar and Lord of Storm Lord!

Compared to the Blackwater Valley, where it is difficult to develop agricultural production in the winter for half a year of the year, tulip collars and storm collars are much more prosperous.

As a child, Levi was born in the tulip-collared flower city, where the climate is humid, the plains are open, and the soil is fertile, which is extremely suitable for settlement and production.

Although the Storm Collar often encounters stormy weather, it is extremely rich in minerals and is also a treasure land.

The period before the age of ten was the peak of the Black Snake Knights, with 5,000 soldiers under his command, relying on the treasure land of the Storm Leader, and 500 fully armed fierce cavalry, in this world of backward productivity, some weak dukes may also be equipped with this configuration.

It's just that all this is based on the personal power of the baron, the great knight.

If the knight is a little famous in the martial arts world and a master who dominates one side, then the status of the great knight is comparable to the existence of the five uniques of the Central Plains in such an era as the existence of the entire rivers and lakes.

Only the few legendary knights, such as "Lionheart Knight Rhine", "Golden Knight Grec", "Blood Knight Brad", "Snow Knight Fryer" and other legendary characters, can rise above the Grand Knight.

And the existence of a legendary knight, in this world, is similar to the Bodhidharma Patriarch, Zhang Sanfeng, the Patriarch of the Carefree School, and the Patriarch of the Open School or the Martial Arts Myth of Dugu Seeking Defeat, in most cases, he can only be reduced to the ceiling tool man in the story.

Therefore, the Black Snake Knight in his peak state is the top of the pyramid of the world's bright combat power.

And such an being, after accepting the thousand-year holy war conscription launched by the Jade Kingdom and the Holy Radiance Church against the Tuva Empire by the sea three years ago, has never returned.

In the end, Levi only waited for the news that the unbelievable Baron and all his soldiers had died on the battlefield.

According to the laws of the kingdom, the titles were hereditary, and the three domains of the barons should be inherited by their only son, Levi, but before the succession, they needed to be notarized by an envoy sent by the king.

In the presence of the Emerald King's appointed envoys, Levi became the new owner of the Baron's three domains, at least nominally.

In fact, in light of the situation at the time, Levi took the initiative to return to Baron Todd's birthplace, the remote and barren Blackwater Valley, which had been managed by Knight Fred before.

The Bloody Earl and the Silver Veil Earl, who had coveted his father's territory for a long time, actually took over the Tulip Collar and the Storm Collar with the tacit consent of his master, the Duke of Montenegro, and the kingdom turned a blind eye to this.

Although the territories of each lord are sacred and inviolable in law, in fact, the feudal lord system of the Emerald Kingdom has completely changed to this day.

Open and secret battles between lords are commonplace, and Levi doesn't like this feeling of being remembered, so he took the initiative to give up the two hot potatoes of Tulip Collar and Storm Collar and dedicated them to the Duke of Montenegro.

As the largest territory in the north, the duke of Montenegro Province, and the oldest and most mysterious knight in the "Seven Hussars of the North", the Duke of Montenegro has long wanted to enter the south to develop his own power, and Levi's "loser" behavior made the Duke of Montenegro very satisfied.

In Levi's opinion, without a great knight and a sufficient number of fully armed cavalry to deter foreign enemies, possession of the Tulip Collar and the Storm Collar is tantamount to self-defeat.

I have a proficiency panel, so it's better to withdraw safely, and just go back to the small mountain nest of Blackwater Valley to be a small broken lord.

Levi didn't have any idea of being the king himself, he just wanted to quietly practice the breathing method, rely on the proficiency panel to become a knight step by step, a great knight, or even a legendary knight, and then follow the footsteps of wizards.

After all, judging from what he knew so far, only a wizard could achieve his goal of immortality, and only a wizard could truly be fearless of those supernatural creatures of demons and monsters.

But although he thought so in his heart, in front of Knight Fred, his father's most trusted retainer during his lifetime, Levi still had to do what he should have done on the surface.

Moreover, knight cultivation requires a lot of resources and wealth, and the poor are rich and martial, and the same is true of this world.

Therefore, Levi's plan is very clear, learn the breathing method, hurry up to become an official knight, and then engage in territory, earn some money for his own cultivation, and after having enough self-protection power, travel to the Seven Kingdoms and embark on a journey to find a wizard.

The middle-aged knight Fred quietly listened to Levi's youthful ambition, and his weather-beaten face showed a pleased smile: "Baron Levi, my master, you are indeed ready now, please come with me." ”
