Black Striped City.

A city made of pitch-black boulders looks extremely retro, rugged, and reveals a wild atmosphere.

This city dates back to the previous years and is no longer verifiable.

The current lord of the city, Lord Black, defeated the old lord a hundred years ago and led his clan to take over the city, changing the name of the city to "Black-Pattern Castle".

The Ancient Saint Empire is actually the name of the ancient Saint Civilization in the earliest days.

At that time, the Ancient Saint Empire was a truly unified country.

The founder of the empire was the first ancient saint in the history of the ancient saint civilization, and later generations called him "the original ancient saint Yuantuo".

It is said that before the "First Ancient Saints" came out, the creepers were nothing more than a group of weak creatures that were fed on blood by ferocious beasts.

Until the appearance of the "original ancient saint", he was like the protagonist, in just a hundred years, from the chief of a small tribe, to conquer all directions, annex other tribes, and finally form a unified "ancient saint empire", the title of the ancient saint was also handed down from that time.

The creepers believe that the "First Ancient Sage" is the "Holy Serpent Messenger" born with the will of the Holy Serpent, and is a god who came to save the Creeper from fire and water.

In fact, it doesn't matter if the "First Ancient Saint" was a Holy Serpent Messenger or not.

In short, after the emergence of the Ancient Saint Empire, the creeper's civilization continued to grow, and the blood of the beasts was finally enough to compete with the beasts.

The "First Old Sage" established a unified creeper language and script similar to the lingua franca of wizards, transforming the tribe into a city-state.

It has also passed down many methods that lead directly to the ancient holy road, and these methods are collectively known as the "ancient holy law".

Relying on the ancient holy law and the creeper civilization, each era can give birth to ancient saints who are on a par with the "ancient bloodline beast", that is, the "ancient beast".

Thanks to the protection of these ancient saints, the creeper civilization has survived to this day.

At the peak of history, that is, in the later years of the original ancient saints, there were eighteen ancient saints of the same era as the creeper civilization, known as the "eighteen saints of the empire".

The Eighteen Saints rallied around the original Ancient Saints, and under the leadership of this leader, they not only initially solved the mountain of "fierce beasts" pressing on the heads of the creepers, but also took the initiative to open up, conquer the south and fight in the north, and expand the territory!

It's just that with the disappearance of the original ancient saints.

The once unified Creeper Empire, like countless human empires in history, is once again facing the situation of city-states and lords, and it has been fighting until now.

After that, there was no peerless powerhouse like the "First Ancient Saint", who could subdue many Ancient Saints, unify all tribes and city-states, and establish an absolutely unified "Ancient Saint Empire".

The division of princes and city-states is the main theme of the ancient holy empire today.

Each city-state is a tribal society of small states and widows, and its lord has absolute dominion and can dispose of its inhabitants at will.

And today, the number of city-states in the Ancient Saint Empire is hundreds.

Some powerful tribes tend to establish their own city-states, and then divide a territory around the city-state.

The non-tribal creepers in the territory are all "Gentiles", and the status of the Gentiles in the city is lower than that of the people of the own state.

Since the disappearance of the original ancient saints, the city-states have been fighting for endless battles, and the people have struggled to make a living, such as the small tribes led by the Kaku chieftain, who can only risk their lives to stay in the primeval forests infested with fierce beasts to survive.

Coupled with the invasion of fierce beasts, under the external and internal troubles, the ancient saint civilization has slipped too much compared to its peak.

Now, there are only thirteen Ancient Saints, and it is difficult to unite them anymore, and in addition, the Ancient Saint Empire is facing the dilemma of being surrounded by strong enemies.

In the southern part of the Ancient Saint Empire, there is a vast sea area, and in the sea, there are many powerful civilizations that are not weaker than the Ancient Saint Empire.

The most representative is the "Canglong Empire" established by the "Sea Creepers", which was an empire established by several Sea Creepers who rebelled from the Ancient Saint Empire.

And in the north of the Ancient Holy Empire, in the vast and endless "Intis Mountains", there is a new and powerful empire.

The "Aeolus Empire" established by the "Feathered People", according to the creepers, the Featherfolk were born later than them, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Featherfolk are the descendants of a mutated creeper.

However, almost all of them have the ability to fly, relying on the superiority of the sky and space, they quickly rose among the mountains of Intis, and now they are also invading the northern frontier of the Ancient Saint Empire.

Among the Ancient Saint Empire, except for a few powerful Ancient Saints, the only ones who can effectively inflict damage on the Feather Nation and engage in air combat are the Flying Lizard Clan led by the "Broken Sky Ancient Saint".

Inside the Black Stripe Castle.

Levi and Kaku sat in a tavern.

Drinking the bloody "Blood Demon Wine" brewed by the creepers.

Listening to an old man talking about the ancient and modern history of the Ancient Holy Empire, the current situation.

The old man's name is Kane, and he is one of the few literate people in the Black Striped City.

He used to be a librarian in the city-state where the Old Sage was located, but later the city-state was destroyed and the library burned down due to the fall of the Old Sage.

Kane became a slave to the Gentiles and wandered all the way, eventually ending up in the city of Black, where he became one of the stewards of the city lord's mansion because of his culture.

In his spare time, he would come to the tavern to drink, brag and brag about his knowledge, and gradually, he became famous.

"Lord Kane, where did the original Ancient Saint go?" Levi asked.

Kane followed the voice and looked at Levi, whose red scales made him pay extra attention.

Because the salamander clan still has a relatively high status in the Ancient Saint Empire.

Even in a foreign city, the salamanders don't have to worry about being discriminated against because they are gentiles.

After all, who would dare to discriminate against a powerful race that gave birth to the Ancient Saints.

Moreover, as we all know, the original Gu Sage was born from the salamander clan, which made the salamander clan have a relatively transcendent status to this day.

Therefore, the duo of Levi and Kaku, in Kane's view, is the young man of the noble salamander clan, with his own servant of the green lizard, wandering outside.

"Originally, the ancient saint was no longer verifiable from this month, because the history books had already been broken in the perennial campaign, and the lifespan of the ancient saint was only five hundred years, and some extremely powerful people might have a lifespan of thousands of years, but compared to the long history of the ancient saint empire, this was just an inconspicuous wave...... So, the original ancient saint, alas, most likely fell. Kane sighed, throughout the ages, among so many ancient saints recorded in history, only the original ancient saint made him worship the most.

"If the original Ancient Saint was alive, then how could the Wind God Empire and the Canglong Empire dare to be presumptuous in front of the Ancient Saint Empire? In the beginning, the ancient saint alone was enough to suppress the traitors of these creeper civilizations! Kane said indignantly.

"Lord Kane, is there a country north of the Intis?" Levi asked.

"I don't know about this, no one can cross the Intis Mountains alive, and those feathered people who hover high in the sky and overlook the earth are not vegetarians." Kane shook his head.

Levi thought in his heart, and now that he saw that there were three maps that had been proven.

The Ancient Saint Empire, the Wind God Empire, and the Canglong Empire.

The three empires have the same ancestry, tracing back to their ancestors, and they are all creeper civilizations, but now they have gone their separate ways.

The problem that plagues the three empires together is the "ferocious beast".

"If the two empires next door can compete with the Ancient Saint Empire, there should be no fewer ancient saint powerhouses, in this way, just on the map I know now, there are dozens of ancient saint-level powerhouses comparable to the four-ring wizards.

In the wizarding world, ordinary middle-level wizard organizations can't come up with so many fourth-level powerhouses, and the difficulty of conquering this plane is greater than I imagined.

Fortunately, these thirteen ancient saints are not a bucket of iron, maybe I can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and support an absolute dictator similar to the original ancient saint as a puppet, so that I can control the entire ancient saint empire, rule this country behind the scenes, and then annex the wind god empire and the Canglong empire, to explore the wider boundaries of this world. ”

Levi muttered to himself.

He already had a preliminary plan in mind.

"Salamander Boy, if you are interested in the original Ancient Saints, if you have the opportunity, you can go to the city-states where the Ancient Saints are located, Black Striped City is always a small place."

Full of wine and food, Kane touched his stomach, spit out snake letters, and Shi Shiran left the tavern.

He and Levi had a very speculative conversation, and it had been a long time since he had met a young creeper like Levi who was willing to listen to him.

"Thank you, Lord Kane." Levi laughed.

In the tavern, Levi and Kaku continued to drink small drinks.

"My lord, where are we going next?" Kaku asked.

"City Lord's Mansion." Levi's eyes were calm and he said lightly.

……

Castle Lord's Mansion.

on the training ground.

A stout lizardman covered in gray scales and covered in bone armor wielded a large sword, and the wind brought by the dance of the big sword caused sand and rocks to fly on the training ground, and there was an invisible heat wave that permeated the training ground, and the momentum was unusual.

This is none other than the Black-streaked City Lord, Monka.

The tribal members of the Black Stripe Tribe are all the strongest of the creepers, the Black Spotted Lizard has a strong defense, is naturally strong, and is a brave and good warrior.

"Lord Monka, there's a salamander out there asking to see you." The servant came in and said.

"Salamanders?" Monka frowned slightly. "Let him in."

It wasn't long before a red-scaled salamander walked in with a very ordinary green lizard crawler.

"Meet the lord of the castle." The salamander said respectfully.

"What are you looking for the lord of this city?" Monka asked.

"I want to ...... Be the lord of the city. Levi smiled.

Monka's complexion changed.

The next moment, Levi's body burst out, and the true body of the fire dragon appeared, blazing with flames and power runes flickering.

Meng Ka raised the big sword and slashed at Levi, the blood in his body began to boil, the white wolf smoke rose into the sky, and in his mouth, there was a scorching flame spurting out, burning the big sword red.

"Scorching Heart!" Monka let out a low roar, his face was painful, he knew that the comer was not good, so as soon as he made a move, he did it with all his might.

Levi didn't dodge or dodge, his fist covered with scales smashed into the hot sword, and the sword body shook violently, cracking the palm of Mengka's hand, and the big sword flew out and landed in the distance.

The red-hot sword scorched the ground and turned into a blazing scorched earth in a short period of time, a temperature that could be seen.

On the other hand, Levi's fist was unharmed, only slightly emitting white smoke.

"It's too weak."

In a flash of lightning, Levi came behind Monka's back, grabbed Monka's neck with his big hand, and pressed it violently.

Monka fell in response, and with a bang, his face slammed on the ground, and the dust flew up.

"All I need is a light push, and you're dead." Levi said lightly, his eyes were cold.

Monka was pinned to the ground, unable to move.

This city lord of Black Striped City was weaker than he thought, and he felt that his strength was not as good as that of Bogang and his ilk, let alone that he was on a par with the senior wizards of the Third Ring.

"Who are you? Among the thirteen ancient saints now, there is no existence like you! Monka asked in horror.

With just one move, the winner will be divided.

The gap between him and the other party is too big, and the other party is definitely a powerhouse at the ancient saint level.

You must know that he is also an ancient snake-level powerhouse, and in this ancient saint empire, only the ancient saint can easily defeat him Mengka.

Of the thirteen ancient saints now, Meng Ka all knew something, and the closest to the one in front of him, the undoubted Burning Sky Ancient Saint.

The problem is that the Burning Sky Ancient Saint usually sits in his own Burning Sky City, how can he come to his own small Black Striped City.

Could it be that the salamander clan actually appeared two ancient saints?

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that if you don't obey, you will die." Levi's voice was indifferent, and he revealed a trace of the aura of the ancient saint, and the majesty of the ancient saint swept in like a tide, drowning Mengka.

"You...... What do you want? ”

"Don't do anything, stop struggling, offer a piece of your soul, take the initiative to sign a contract with me, I will promise not to kill you, otherwise ......" Levi took out a contract slate and threatened.

Lizardmen are also humanoids, and it stands to reason that the contract of the contract slate can also be effective against them, but the other party needs to donate their souls to do so.

Monka saw the slate in the man's hand, and although he didn't know what it was, there was no doubt that it was not good for him.

But in this situation, in this situation where the gap between friend and foe is too large, he seems to have no choice.

"I'll do it......," Monka said with a sigh.

"Don't worry, I've always done what I say." Levi squinted and smiled, chilling.

Meng Ka only felt that disaster had fallen from the sky, and he didn't know where the ancient saint came out, it was really bad luck.

Eventually, Levi and Monka signed an unequal treaty.

After signing the contract, Meng Ka always felt that there seemed to be some kind of restraint on his soul, and once he violated the content of the contract, he was afraid that he would end up miserable, which made his heart like ashes.

"Wait until my Scarlet Dragon Breathing Method is the fourteenth order, and add one more contract position, so there won't be such trouble." Li Wei said in his heart.

He now has two positions in the Crimson Contract, one for Baron of the Deep Sea and the other for the Blood Clan Scoin, both of which are more important to Levi, and there is no way to break the contract.

Outside the door, the guards seemed to hear the movement and rushed in.

"Lord Castle, are you alright?" The guard asked,

"It's okay, you stand down, I've had a fight with this friend of the salamander clan." Mengka said calmly, but his heart was bitter, where is this discussion, this is unilateral crushing......

"What does the Ancient Sage want to do? You might as well tell me that I, Monka, am just the lord of a small border city, with limited ability, and in the eyes of the ancient saints, I guess I won't look down on my city-state in this remote place, right? Monka sighed.

"You are very smart, and you are also very knowledgeable about current affairs, and those who know the times are Junjie, and my goal is very simple, to unify all the city-states and make the Ancient Saint Empire great again." Levi said very seriously.

"Lord Gu Sage...... With all due respect, this matter should also be the target of the other thirteen Ancient Saints, but since the original Ancient Saints disappeared, no one has been able to unify the Ancient Saint Empire. Monka said.

"How do you know if you don't try?" Levi said confidently. "Your city lord, you can continue to be in front of it, I'm just joking, I'm not interested in your city lord's position, I just need you to do what I want in the future."

Li Wei wasn't sure if his current strength would be able to win against an ancient saint, otherwise he would have gone to the city-states where the ancient saints were sitting and taken down the ancient saints.

To be safe, it is better to control an ordinary city lord first, and after you have a deeper understanding of this world, it is better to gradually contact those ancient saint powerhouses.

In the following days, Levi settled in the Black Stripe City.

I have to say that as the city lord of Black Striped City, this Mengka knows much more than Kaku.

From Mengka's side, Li Wei had a deeper understanding of the situation of the thirteen ancient saints, and he also obtained the "ancient holy law" he practiced from Mengka.

In a mansion in the City of Black, Levi sat at a desk with a rough piece of paper that appeared to be made of animal skin.

The text on the vellum paper is the lingua franca of the creeper civilization, which Levi has mastered, and in addition, there are all kinds of movements and postures.

When he finished reading it, he fell into deep thought.

"This seems to be similar to the inheritance diagram of the knight's breathing method, the only difference is that on this ancient holy law, there is only a villain pattern, but there is no black snake diagram like the black snake breathing method...... Castrate a modified version of the knight's breathing?"

According to Munka, the practice of the Ancient Sacred Law is based on the formulas, essentials, postures, and movements recorded in the Ancient Sacred Law, and then devours a large amount of specific beast flesh to obtain energy from it, transform the body of the lizardman, and finally continuously realize the evolution of the physical body.

From insects to lizards, lizards to snakes, snakes grow old and become ancient, and metamorphose into saints.

These are the four stages of the practice of the ancient holy law.

The ancient holy law that Monka gave to Levi was obtained by him in the ruins of an abandoned ancient holy temple, called the "Ancient Holy Law of Flame Blood".

To practice this ancient holy method, one must take it for a long time based on the flesh and blood of a type called "flame beast".

After absorbing the unique "flame blood energy" in the flesh and blood of the flame beast with the ancient holy method, and using this "flame blood energy" to transform the whole body, refining the organs and muscles, washing the marrow and quenching the bones, and exchanging blood, it is the ancient saint.

The more powerful the flame beast, the better its effect.

If you cultivate to the highest level, you can compare to the king among the flame beasts.

Ancient Beast: Flame Blood Hunting Dragon.

It is a powerful being that lives underground, often accompanied by magma.

The body of the Flame Blood Hunting Dragon contains the "Ancient Bloodline".

The so-called ancient bloodline is said to be the bloodline left by several "ancient kings" who stood on the top of hundreds of millions of living beings at the beginning of the birth of this world.

Otharos, King of the Forest, Ulnes, King of the Sea, Morbius, King of the Underground.

The four ancient kings, representing the earth, fire, feng shui of creation, each ruled over the four ancient kingdoms.

It is said that the four ancient kings were all under the command of the supreme Holy Snake, and they followed the will of the Holy Snake to create this world and maintain the operation of world order.

At that time, neither the feathered people nor the creepers were born.

Only the beasts of different camps under the command of the ancient kings galloped in the sky, forests, seas, and even underground.

Therefore, whether it is the Ancient Saint Empire, or the Wind God Empire, or the Canglong Empire, they are all extremely jealous of the ancient bloodline.

Later, the mighty ancient empire fell apart seemingly overnight, and the four ancient kings also fell one after another.

The flesh and blood of the ancient kings were eaten by the surviving beasts, and the original ancient beasts, the creeper civilization, were most likely born at this time.

These are all legends that Levi got from Old Man Kane during this time.

Li Wei vaguely felt that whether it was the "Ancient King", or the "First Ancient Sage", and the "Ancient Holy Law" and so on.

These things are inseparable from the ancient wizard who entered here.

"Who is it? What is the purpose of entering here, doing all this?"

Levi looked at the drawings that recorded the ancient holy law, and pondered inwardly.

……

Following.

Levi looked at the Flame Beast meat sent by Monka.

This is a big piece of meat that looks ordinary, about 100 catties, very strong, and has been dead for so long, and the surface still exudes high temperature, which should be the so-called "hot blood energy".

Levi took a little blood from it and put it in the Rowling Crystal.

[56% of the Red Fire Snake Bloodline, 68% of the Stone Red Lizard Bloodline...... Dark Lantern Dragon's bloodline 1.5%. 】

Seeing this, Levi's face changed.

"Dark Lantern Dragon?"

His database does not contain any information about this kind of dragon.

"If you have a chance in the future, you have to find out what kind of dragon the Dark Lantern Dragon is?"

In this world, Levi has found the bloodline descendants of two dragon clans.

Emerald Dragon, Dark Lantern Dragon.

During this time, Levi studied the Supreme Sacred Serpent, which the Creeper civilization believed in.

Judging from the records and descriptions of the holy serpent left behind, the holy serpent is a serpent connected from end to end, which coils around the heavens, constantly spinning, emitting holy light, expelling darkness and shining on believers, like the sun.

From this point of view, there are similarities between the Holy Snake and Levi's family crest, the Black Snake.

But the most significant feature, "Candle", Levi, didn't see it, so he didn't dare to be sure that the holy snake was the black snake.

And now, in the body of the fierce beast containing the ancient bloodline, he found the bloodline of the Dark Lantern Dragon.

According to legend, the ancient bloodline is the bloodline of the four kings under the command of the Holy Snake.

"The Dark Lantern Dragon, could it be the Candle Black Snake...... Could it be that the Black Snake is a general under the command of the Holy Snake? Or maybe it's the Sacred Serpent's Vest......"

Kavin, today there are only six thousand words.
