Chapter 1049: Fourth Divine Weapon, Indestructible Armor! (6)

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“If we could encounter knights with wizard talents, that would be the best… As for Children of the Elements, I doubt we’ll have a chance. They’ve probably been snatched up by various wizard organizations big and small. But if you happen to come across any, contact me immediately!”

“Understood, Commander!”

At this moment, both the Black Knight and Hogg were visibly excited, evidently full of hope for the future of the Midland Knights.

Next, Levi gathered the Saint Ape Knight and the Goddess Knight to the round table and convened an impromptu meeting.

The impromptu meeting marked the birth of the Midland Squad and outlined the development plan for the Midland Knights for the next decade.

Before leaving the Tyra Kingdom, Levi gave the Black Knight some Aether Stones. To him, these were just a drop in the ocean. However, as the initial funding for the Midland Squad, they were sufficient.

Now, it was up to them to make their own way.

“If we could find more research-oriented geniuses like Andrew, the development of the Dusk Holy Temple would be much smoother,” Levi concluded, ending the meeting.

Levi headed eastward across the Midland Continent. To the east lay the sea.

There, were sub-dimensional portals leading to the outer sea region and the Ocean School of Thought’s Endless Sea.

During this time, although his danger perception occasionally gave slight warnings, they were all within normal fluctuations.

He had basically escaped the crisis and now had the leisure to explore Midland Continent.

“I rarely come here. I should buy some knowledge of the Earth School of Thought to take back… It’s a pity that I was in such a rush to leave the Realm of Crimson last time and didn’t have time to purchase knowledge of alchemy.”

Although Midland Continent was not as vast as the Endless Sea, it was still much larger than other sub-dimensional portal locations.

Here, Levi encountered races such as dwarves, elves, and halflings, which were relatively rare in other places, broadening his horizons.

Stopping and exploring along the way, he found himself wandering through wizard markets without realizing it.

In the year 1149 of the Holy Brilliance Calendar, the Month of Harvest arrived.

In the central part of Midland Continent, there was an empire thousands of times larger than the bordering kingdom of Tyra—the Modo Empire!

The capital of the empire was the city of Sauron.

In the city stood a statue of Sauron.

Levi stood before the statue, gazing into the wise eyes of Sauron.

“It’s my first time in Sauron City…” A white-robed wizard with gray hair approached Levi, leaning on his staff.

Like Levi, he was also a Fourth-Circle Wizard, but it seemed that his time was running out, as there was a faint aura of death around him.

“Yes,” Levi smiled. “Why is the city named after Sauron?”

“It is said that Sauron founded the congress here originally. Later, when the Central Realm was discovered, the congress moved there. After three hundred thousand years of changes, the people here still commemorate Sauron.”

“I see.”

“I’m a Fourth-Circle Wizard of the Modo Eye. May I ask where you’re from?” the White Robe Wizard inquired.

The Modo Eye was a high-level wizard organization behind the Modo Empire and served as the guardian of Sauron City. However, it was not among the top-tier organizations like the Nine Cities or the Six Towers. The towering wizard tower atop the Montenegro Mountain range in the distance was the headquarters of the Modo Eye.

“I’m just a nameless nomadic wizard traveling around,” Levi replied with a slight smile.

“I have some spells that allow me to sense age, and it seems you’re quite young. Do you have any intention of joining a high-level organization?” the White Robe Wizard asked. He wasn’t here to be Levi’s tour guide; rather, he was passing through Sauron City and noticed this young Fourth-Circle Wizard, thinking of recommending him for membership in the organization so he could also receive some rewards.

“Sorry, but I currently have no intention of joining any organization. I’m just here to admire the legacy of Sauron and then leave,” Levi chuckled.

The White Robe Wizard shook his head in resignation and left.

Levi continued to explore discreetly throughout the Midland Continent, purchasing local herbs and knowledge.

During his travels, he inadvertently reached a new year.

In the year 1150 of the Holy Brilliance Calendar, on the first day of the Month of Beginning, the 160-year-old Elder Levi convened the 50th round table meeting.

The Black Knight successfully advanced to the realm of official wizardry and left the Tower of Singing Sands.

The Midland Squad had selected a secret base and begun recruiting knights on a small scale.

Their base was located at the southern end of the Midland Continent, where Emperor Mu and the Goddess Knight were doing quite well. Moreover, due to the hospitable climate, there were many human kingdoms in the south.

As for the central region of the Midland Continent, although it was better, there were too many middle-level and high-level wizard organizations, which were not conducive to the clandestine development of the Midland Knights.

Seeing their enthusiastic efforts, Levi felt reassured letting them handle it.

Meanwhile, Levi wandered around various places in the Midland Continent, spending nearly three million Aether Stones before satisfactorily using a teleportation portal to return to the mortal realm.

Thanks to the gains from the exploration of the secret realm, even after spending so much, Levi’s Aether Stone reserves were still above seven million, enough to prepare for his upcoming journey to the ancient tower.

Back in the mortal realm, Levi hurriedly made his way towards the Ancient Saint plane.

In the Inferno Hell, a Poison Fire Corpse Demon sat amidst the sea of flames.

“Master, you’re back.”

“I’m back. Nothing happened while I was away, right?” Levi asked.

“Nothing.”

Levi nodded. He released Red Eye and the blood vampire from Alice’s ring and admonished them, “As I mentioned before, I’ll provide you both with employment. Here is where you’ll work from now on. As guardians of this grand array, you can avoid unnecessary detours… Don’t try to play tricks. My contract is not like ordinary contracts. Focus on guarding here, and each year, you can receive some resources for cultivation from me. It’s better than engaging in illegal activities outside, right? Follow the rules of the congress, be a law-abiding wizard, and don’t disappoint the late Sauron. Do you understand?”

“We understand, Master. We’ll definitely mend our ways and start anew. Rest assured, with the two of us guarding the gate, no one can enter!” the blood vampire and Red Eye assured.

“If there’s any situation, contact me promptly.” Levi waved his hand, returning their wizard tools and the trash from their storage bags to them.

“Thank you, Master!”

Watching Levi disappear, the blood vampire and Red Eye also found a place in the Inferno Hell and sat down, looking at the silent Poison Fire Corpse Demon.

“He’s stronger than us even though he’s just guarding the gate. Is he really a Fourth-Circle Wizard?” the blood vampire exclaimed.

“Who cares? This place is quite good anyway. It’s the era of the Dark Wave Revival in the mortal realm. His strength far exceeds that of an ordinary Fourth-Circle Wizard. He’s definitely not an ordinary person; he must be a representative sent by the Lord of the Wizard World to the mortal realm. We’ve inadvertently seized an opportunity. In the future, he might become a great figure in the mortal realm. By then, the two of us will also be esteemed elders… Being a nomadic wizard is nothing compared to being a head figure in a great organization.”

“Yeah, you’re right. This array looks extraordinary. Even if a Fifth-Circle Wizard comes here, we won’t benefit.”

Back at the Emperor’s Palace, Levi began forging divine weapons. Time flew, and six months passed.

On this day, in the alchemy chamber, a brilliant light emanated. A heavy black knight’s armor, after Levi dripped blood onto it, integrated into his body and appeared in front of the Death Ember Dragon’s seed.

“The Fourth Divine Weapon, since it’s a physique type, let’s call it the ‘Indestructible Armor.'”
