Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method

Chapter 32: Level 3 Frost Wolf Breathing Method



Levi huffed as he gripped the bill, slightly crumpling the parchment paper.

‘I need to calm down,’ he huffed. ‘No matter what, laws and regulations are made to protect the interests of the powerful.’

“The amount posted here is a bit expensive,” Levi said while smiling. “I’m afraid we can only pay in instalments for now.”

“Then, you shall pay the interest plus the taxes incurred for the next ten years. From now on, Blackwater Valley is required to pay 150 gold coins to the Church annually,” the priest said in a calculative manner as if he were already expecting this.

“I agree,” Levi nodded defeatedly. There’s no way to refuse them, but who knows what will happen within ten years?

After signing the contract, Pastor Abraham and Knight Shimmer left Blackwater Valley.

Levi and Knight Fred stared at their disappearing figures in the distance, and Levi’s heart was filled with murderous intent.

“How about we plan his assassination?” Knight Fred asked as he stared into the distance. “With our strength, it won’t be difficult getting through Knight Shimmer.”

“It’s useless. If Abraham dies, the Church will send other pastors, or worse, the Radiant Knights. Money isn’t a problem for us, but sooner or later, I will take it all back with interest,” Levi spoke harshly as he turned away to continue training.

The Church… the Wild Boar Gang… They are mere bullies who prey on the weak. Knight Fred is nearly half a century old, and his strength is gradually declining. Levi has to endure and become stronger himself.

Anger is meaningless when you are weak.

‘I have a proficiency panel, so I will become stronger regardless. I can’t die because of impulse reactions.’

He continued practising the Black Snake Breathing Method and comprehending the Frost Wolf Breathing Method. He continued to forge iron and manage his people, and he barely had any time for himself.

1006, the Month of Warmth

The climate in Blackwater Valley was comfortable—not too hot or cold.

It has been two months since Levi acquired the Frost Wolf Breathing Method.

Just as he was about to give up, he decided to practise it one last time. Suddenly, that long-lost yet familiar feeling came creeping up on him.

He hurriedly opened his proficiency panel in his mind.

Levi Snyder

Black Snake Breathing Method: Level 3 (6467/10000)

Frost Wolf Breathing Method: Level 1 (1/1000)

Golden Cross Slash: Level 3 (7000/10000), Special Effect: Vibrate (Advanced)

Beast Taming: Level 3 (Max); Special Effect: Heart of the Wild

Forging: Level 3 (4123/10000), Special Effect: High-Quality Goods

“Finally!”

Levi yelled and jumped up and down excitedly. Once it appears on his proficiency panel, the next steps will be much easier.

He hasn’t felt this excited in such a long time. This breakthrough means that he can acquire other blood-locked breathing methods.

If he could get it on his panel, he’d be unstoppable.

‘When I become stronger, I must find a way to collect the strongest breathing methods. Even if I can’t become a wizard, I should be able to stand on top of the world regardless!’

Perhaps he could surpass a Legendary Knight and become a living god.

Just for a moment, the haze of being robbed by the Church has swept away.

“Abraham, you old dog. Just you wait…”

Levi returned to training.

And the days passed just like this.

Soon, it was time to commence his trade. He led a team of men to transport the armour and weapons he had forged to the Shining Tavern in the City of Icy Winds, where he sold them to the unknown Knight as promised.

A total of six sets of armour and nearly a hundred swords were sold for about 300 gold coins. Unfortunately, the Knight who sold ambergris was nowhere to be found, and there was no ambergris left in the Chamber of Commerce.

In the end, he returned to the territory three hundred gold coins richer.

With a completely depleted iron source…

Levi, in a pinch, remembered how to locate iron ore from his previous life.

In order to keep up with the supply of iron, many of his military men were assigned to dig mines, chop wood, burn charcoal, and smelt iron after their training. In a way, he was training them to be blacksmith apprentices.

Levi intends to make forging an important industry in the Blackwater Valley in order to ensure stability. Once Milan becomes a qualified blacksmith and his father is rescued, Levi will be able to take a breather.

The division of labour was incredibly efficient, and the output of equipment was increasing rapidly.

Of course, Levi would not treat his men badly. Blacksmith apprentices who had great performances throughout the year would be rewarded with 1 gold coin, which made them very happy.

In the Month of the Furnace, four sets of armour and fifty swords were forged in a single month.

Soon, the season of wheat harvesting came.

When this year’s wheat was harvested, Levi was pleasantly surprised to find that wheat production had increased by 5% after implementing his new system.

This was an unprecedented increase.

Sure enough, the best way to increase productivity is to care for and look after his people.

In addition, Levi’s Frost Wolf Breathing Method was also progressing very quickly. This breathing method also has its own medicine, but it is very simple to make; the main ingredient of the medicine is wolf meat.

And wolf meat is plentiful in Levi’s castle. In fact, he eats wolf meat every day.

With a sufficient supply of wolf meat, his Frost Wolf Breathing Method has hit Level 3 in just four months.

Of course, he didn’t neglect his Black Snake Breathing Method.
