Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method - Chapter 41: The Ultimate Frost Wolf and Planting the Second Seed of Life

“The Hog Rider?”

“That’s right,” Knight Fred said. “When Ol’ Toby was snatched away by the Wild Boar Gang, I realised I had investigated him before. I shouldn’t be wrong; I just didn’t expect him to appear in the city after joining the Brotherhood of the Wilderness.”

Levi was silent. He didn’t expect to be selling weaponry to his potential enemy.

After all, the Hog Rider is part of the gang that has kidnapped Toby, and Levi has always planned to get him out.

“The Hog Rider didn’t recognise you, did he?” Levi asked.

“No. We all wore our masks, and I asked our men to initiate the trade with him.”

After all, Knight Fred is widely known as Swordsman Dawn. If he were to initiate the trade with the Hog Rider, he might get recognised despite his disguise. Knight Fred was smart to be cautious.

“Are we still going to trade with him?” Knight Fred asked hesitantly.

Levi remained silent for a moment, deep in thought.

“He may be my enemy,” he sighed. “But he is direct when it comes to payment. I think we should continue this business relationship and pounce on him when the opportunity comes.”

“Do you plan on tampering with the armour, then?” Knight Fred suggested, “If this continues, we might be making him stronger rather than wearing him out.”

“He is a qualified blacksmith himself, so he’ll know if I do anything. Besides, they’ve got bigger things to worry about,” Levi smiled. The Wild Boar Gang had the Church and the Kingdom to fuss about.

“Then again,” Levi sighed. “On our first meeting, he invited me to join a mysterious organisation. I think he planned on luring me into the Brotherhood so I could forge armour for them.

But considering the size of the Brotherhood, our selling weaponry to them is nothing but a drop in the bucket. We are not their enemies, for now. I think we should go with the flow and steal money from them. When the time comes, we will snatch Toby back and take back all our weapons!”

Levi unconsciously sneered as he spat out his plan; what he lacked most was patience. With a proficiency panel, his cultivation speed was far beyond ordinary.

Given the time, he’ll be unstoppable.

Who cares about the Wild Boar Gang or the Duke of Montenegro when you’re standing on top of the world?

‘Once I become a Legendary Knight, there is nothing to be afraid of.’

Time is always on Levi’s side, after all.

Blackwater Valley, in Levi’s castle.

Three months after his assassination attempt, Levi finally finished building his secret bunker in the castle.

Well, to be precise, this secret shelter was not inside the castle but inside the mountains behind it. There is a secret tunnel that connects the mountain and the basement of his castle.

The shelter was not big—only 20 square meters—and it was roughly dug out by Levi himself. He couldn’t risk having his own people know about his shelter, so he used his Golden Cross a lot while excavating the mountain.

The only one who knew Levi was busy was none other than Knight Fred, and Levi’s acts had him at a loss for words.

Dried meat, food, purified water, etc… to Knight Fred, it looks like Levi was preparing for a doomsday scenario.

However, the narrow space of the shelter gave Levi an inexplicable sense of security, and it reminded him of hiding under the covers from spooky ghosts when he was a child.

In the shelter, Levi continued practising. He opened his eyes suddenly, and his eyes shone with a dazzling light, and his lungs pushed out a breath of steam. He stood up and stretched, showing a satisfied smile.

‘I’m stronger than I was three months ago,’ Levi smiled as he ate his food. “Even Arnold Schwarzenegger has nothing on me.”

His skin was a light bronze, contrasting with his previous pale and sickly appearance. He grew to an astonishing 1.9 metres tall, and his arms were as thick as the thighs of many adult men. Only one could imagine the strength contained within these muscles.

It’s hard to imagine that a sixteen-year-old kid had assets this huge.

He truly did feel like a man.

A man who puts in physical work and toils away, a man who excavates tunnels and builds a shelter with his own bare hands.

In the past three months, he has not slacked in his practice. His Golden Cross was put to work as he used it to excavate through the mountain and crush stones that were in his path. In just three months, the progress bar has moved by one-fifth.

As for his Black Snake Breathing Method, his proficiency has increased by 5,000. He predicts he’ll be able to reach Level 5 by the end of the year.

However, his supply of medicine had run out. If he wants to finish this goal, he must find a way to produce ambergris.

On the other hand, his Frost Wolf Breathing Method has shown rapid improvement.

The reason Levi had such a domineering aura was that his Frost Wolf Breathing Method had just hit Level 4.

In just half a year, he hit Level 4, and he was able to condense the seeds of life once again.

It was much less painful compared to the last time he had to condense the seeds of life. On the surface of his heart, a black, wolf-shaped mist formed and prowled alongside the snake-like mist.

‘Two seeds of life,’ Levi beamed.
