0035 [Lord of Shadows] and [Phantom Knight] (Quest for Reading)

Formal knights, looking at any noble power in the kingdom, are extremely important.

Now Levi, even if he has no territory, can rely on his own strength to join the territory of other nobles, become their knights, and be loyal to them.

But Levi, who is used to being a lord himself, certainly doesn't want to be a slave to others, and he has been a capitalist dog in his previous life, and he has been enough.

In this life, he no longer wants to live by relying on other people's faces like in his previous life.

"Breakthrough knight, it's time to celebrate, I'm not practicing today, go and ask the twin maids to give me a massage at night."

Under all kinds of pressure, Levi is like a never-ending machine, crazy cultivation, bursting liver, striking iron, and making money.

Although this is very fulfilling, people are not machines after all, and they will always be tired.

Today he felt that it was time for him to relax for a few days, and he didn't plan to practice the breathing method in the next few days, so he went to sleep and practiced the Golden Cross Slash again.

The combination of work and rest is life.

Cultivation is not the goal, longevity, freedom, and unfettered life are the goal, and practice is just a tool.

At night, Levi soaked in the bathtub, broke through the formal knight, and expelled a lot of toxins, and the twin maids massaged the muscles of Levi's whole body one by one.

"Young master, your body is too hard and rough, my hands hurt." Ariel pouted, inadvertently revealing some of the scenery on her chest, and said coquettishly.

"When you're tired, rest and rest, and change your sister to continue, and the two of you will take turns." Levi closed his eyes and enjoyed a rare and comfortable life.

After a night without incident, Levi finished bathing and went back to his bedroom to rest.

"I wish Knight Fred a smooth trip."

Levi was still worried about Knight Fred, not worried about the goods worth hundreds of gold coins.

Knight Fred is Levi's only family on earth, and he doesn't want to lose him.

And just like that, Levi fell into a deep sleep.

……

The starry night is silent.

In the dark night, a figure covered with black night clothes like a ghost, sneaked into the Black Water Valley, he came to the side of the Black Snake Castle, stood in the position of the river valley, looked at the towering castle built against the mountain, and muttered to himself.

"This castle is in a good location, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but unfortunately, for me, it is just a decoration."

"After seven days of waiting, I finally waited for the Vulture Knight to leave."

"Hehe, Baron Levi, your head, I" Phantom Knight " accepted it unceremoniously. ”

The man in the night robe, dressed in simple leather armor and extremely agile, is a Phantom Knight, an emotionless killer from a kingdom-wide group of killers: the Voice of the Dead Birds.

It's an organization similar to the Killers' Guild, which is scattered across the country and is under the orders of the organization's five supreme leaders.

The target of the assassination can be a commoner, a nobleman, or even a formal knight, a member of the royal family, as long as you give enough money, there will be some powerful killers to complete the commission for you.

Phantom Knight is one of the killers, mainly doing assassination missions in the area around Icewind City, he received an assassination mission from the broker some time ago, the big patron is very noble, he doesn't even know who the big patron is, but he doesn't care who it is.

As long as the money is in place, even if it is an official knight, the Phantom Knight will find a way to kill him.

As a wandering knight, the Phantom Knight has no worries, and after killing someone, he is thousands of miles away, and no one can catch him.

Since his debut, he has completed many assassination missions perfectly.

The list of assassinations included a baron, three noble disciples, a count's wife, and even two official knights.

Therefore, he didn't think it was difficult to assassinate Levi, after all, Levi's loser and cowardice were also well-known in some circles that were familiar with the Black Snake Knight.

But a truly dedicated killer, even if it is to kill a hundred-year-old woman, will do his best.

So, the Phantom Knight is fully armed, grappling hooks, daggers, poisons, quicklime, you name it.

He cautiously approached the castle, and below the castle, there were soldiers patrolling.

By night, he observed the situation around, and decided to climb through the wall with the help of a grappling hook from the wall with the fewest soldiers, and then find Levi's bedroom, quickly assassinate the sleeping Levi, and then take Levi's head to collect the commission money.

"Perfect plan." The Phantom Knight sneered in his heart.

He found the weakest wall, and beneath that wall was a sleepy soldier.

He slowly approached, relying on his own maneuver and agility, and circled behind the soldier.

"The Lord of Shadows is above." The Phantom Knight does not believe in the Father of Heaven, but in a very unpopular Lord of Shadows.

The authority of this god is killing, deception, shadowing, and is the object of worship of most killer assassins and a small group of conspirators, politicians.

Then, he cleanly dealt with this soldier, the soldier is just an ordinary person, although he has training, but compared to a formal knight like the Phantom Knight, it is far worse.

The corpses of the soldiers quickly cooled in this season of the coming north winds.

The Phantom Knight didn't care about the corpse, anyway, he would have disappeared into the wilderness by the time the sun rose tomorrow.

With his grappling hook, he climbed over the high wall, jumped down gently, landed perfectly, patted the dust on his body gracefully, and then looked up.

I found three huge shadows, looking at myself curiously.

These three-headed shadows are the three brothers Xiaobai, Xiaogray, and Xiaopang.

On the back of this wall, which is the weakest defense, is the bear pen of the three brothers!

Phantom Knight never imagined that one day, he would come face to face with three giant bears after infiltrating the castle.

"Hell, Levi, this damn slut, actually keeps a bear in the castle, the Lord of Shadows is above, this is not an ordinary bear, but a giant bear in the north, although it looks like he is still underage."

The Phantom Knight exclaimed inwardly.

And the three brothers were also confused, and when the Phantom Knight was outside, they smelled a strange smell approaching the castle.

Levi's training included familiarizing himself with the scent of every soldier and servant in the castle, so that they could feel it immediately if a stranger approached.

Therefore, the Phantom Knight thought that he had infiltrated seamlessly, but he didn't know that he had already been discovered by the three brothers.

And now, he had to face the attack of three giant bears from the North, and even though they were still children, it made a formal knight like the Phantom Knight feel a little nervous.

"Hell, after this mission is completed, you have to add money!"
