Chapter 998: New Era, Level Fifteen! (6)

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Recently, I’ve heard some rumors, the authenticity of which I cannot confirm. There’s a powerful knight organization in the outer sea region, where perhaps I might find what I need.”

She had already dispatched some of her subordinates to investigate in the outer seas. Once they had any information, they would report back to her.

Three days later, Mistress Cruel’s face appeared again on the ancient mirror.

“How did it go? Did you get the teacher’s help?” Madam Ghost asked.

“Yes, I did.”

“What’s the situation?”

“We didn’t find anything. The premise of the teacher’s tracking primordial soul spell was that Barzan’s soul could smoothly enter the Underworld and undergo reincarnation…”

“Could it be that Barzan’s soul has become an undead creature in the Hell plane, without undergoing reincarnation?”

“No, if that were the case, the teacher would have found it. That Levi intercepted Barzan’s soul somehow, preventing Barzan from even having the chance to enter the Underworld for reincarnation! He came prepared! I suspect it’s someone from our opposing organization!”

Mistress Cruel closed her eyes, and when she reopened them, they were filled with a mad killing intent.

…

In the Holy Brilliance Calendar of the year 1145, during the Month of Grass.

In recent years, the Twilight Knights had grown rapidly. The Black Knight successfully advanced to the realm of Blood Source last year, becoming the third Blood Knight of the Twilight Knights.

However, the Black Knight did not rush back. He remained in the Earth Realm, searching for an opportunity to break through to become an official wizard.

He was already a level 3 knight, with such a strong foundation.

Even with average wizard talent, he could still earn extra money in the Wizard World by playing tricks and taking some small change from dark wizards.

Then, he could quickly accumulate wizard resources to support his wizard training.

So, breaking through to become an official wizard wasn’t difficult!

This path had already been successfully experimented by Emperor Mu. As a Child of Chaos, Emperor Mu had average talent, but he still became an official wizard.

For them, becoming a wizard wasn’t about achieving high cultivation but about being able to use some wizard means to compensate for the knight’s shortcomings.

There were many universal low-level spells in wizard magic, seemingly insignificant but actually very useful. Even in the advanced stage, they could still be utilized.

In addition, they also aimed to become wizards. Then, they could learn some spiritual connection spells, just like the commander, and have their own knight pets. They continued to implement the commander’s “green sustainable development concept”!

As for the Goddess Knight, her wizard talent was already impressive. Being double-affinity, she had been walking the path of both knight and wizard cultivation. Now, she had reached the Second-Circle Wizard level and had achieved some success in the Ice Body Tempering Technique.

The Blood Knight continued to explore the Forsaken Land of the God, searching for elemental metal for Levi and gathering more intelligence.

The Divine Light Knight and the Golden Lion Knight remained at the Dusk Holy Temple, while also preparing for advancement to the Blood Source.

Having long entered the realm of First-Circle Wizard, the Golden Lion Knight, with his double affinity talent and family resources, smoothly advanced to the Second-Circle Wizard. He became a Second-Circle Wizard purely to better research knight bloodline runes.

The Dark Moon Knight, the latest addition, was getting closer and closer to breaking the legendary shackles.

As for Andrew, the Child of the Elements who Levi was most concerned about, his cultivation speed didn’t need much explanation; Levi didn’t need to worry about him at all. The deciphering work of bloodline runes had also made significant progress. Everything was developing in a better direction.

Time passed like sand slipping through fingers, leaving only faint traces. In the blink of an eye, half a year had gone by.

In the Month of Winter of the Holy Brilliance Calendar of the year 1145, the cold wind of the Northern Territory swept through the Peacock Kingdom. The once warm and spring-like Flower City had begun to enter winter.

That year, all the Blue Frost Undead forces in the Northern Territory converged at the relic of Montenegro Mountain City. These undead creatures seemed to have been summoned.

Between the Evernight Kingdom and the Peacock Kingdom, a kingdom of Blue Frost Undead was established in the Northern Territory.

Saints sent by the Church went to investigate, but none returned. Even the strongest saint under the saint’s command went personally, only to return disappointed.

A new ruler ascended in the Northern Territory, declaring her return and openly challenging the Church!

Rumors had it that the ruler was an extremely young lady with frost-like silver hair, who called herself the “Blue Frost Lord’s daughter”.

She possessed extremely formidable strength, backed by a vast army of Blue Frost Undead.

Blue Frost warriors, knights, spellcasters, and even… bone dragons!

It was said that in the gloomy skies above Montenegro Mountain City, three Blue Frost bone dragons circled day and night, blocking out the sun.

The largest among them had a wingspan of over a hundred meters. Even saints had been defeated by it!

The Blue Frost Lord’s daughter released the saints and instructed them to tell the saints, “Winter has come!”

In the same year, in the south of the Molten Kingdom, in the southernmost part of the Seven Kingdoms Continent.

Here, mountains were densely packed, the weather was humid, miasma filled the air, and swamps abounded.

This was a wilderness, and since the Dark Wave Revival, rumors of “demonic beasts” had become even more prevalent.

This place had become a forbidden zone for ordinary people. Only some bold knights or wild wizards dared to venture into it.

Since ancient times, this area had been called the “Lost Mountain Range.”

That year, some adventurers unintentionally entered it and discovered that within the Lost Mountain Range, there lived some barbaric tribes.

They were primitive, living off hunting.

Their skin was a disgusting shade of green, covered in sores and boils.

They seemed infected with a severe plague, yet they remained lively and vigorous.

They ate raw meat and even raided the graves in the Molten Kingdom to feast on corpses.

They never bathed, claiming it was blasphemy against their “father.”

The men of these tribes were all as strong as knights, if not stronger, and there were also some spellcasters of witch doctor ilk among them.

They warmly treated the adventurers with rotten flesh and intestines, sincerely introducing them to their deity:

A “kind father” who loved all mankind equally.

They claimed that the “Heavenly Father” at the other end of the continent was a false father who only used his believers as tools, while only this “kind father” was the true embodiment of love, the father of all!

On the first day of the Month of Beginning in the year 1146 of the Holy Brilliance Calendar, a new kingdom rose in the Lost Mountain Range at the southern end of the continent.

This kingdom kindly welcomed the “afflicted” who were troubled by the plague, abandoned by their countries, and forsaken by their families.

The “plague doctors” in the kingdom would alleviate their suffering, making them immune to all diseases.

In this kingdom, the afflicted would not be ostracized or abandoned!

Because the “kind father” would accept them and let them feel the long-lost “paternal love”!

Following the Blue Frost Empire, another kingdom called the “Benevolent Father Empire” rose.

It became the ninth kingdom, and within the original seven kingdoms, a tense and uneasy atmosphere brewed.

Outside the ninth kingdom, in the Ancient Saint plane, there was a hidden, little-known Ancient Dragon Empire.

The ruler of the empire, the Inferno Divine Emperor, along with a series of titles such as Initial Ancient Saint, opened his eyes.

“The Crimson Emperor Dragon has reached level 15!”
