Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 21 Excellent Qualities, [Giant Breathing Technique] (Please continue reading)

Li Wei didn't pay much attention, assuming it was just the remains of some hunters who occasionally went into the mountains and were hunted by the wolf king.

He arrived at the cave, which was not deep. There were many remains inside, mostly those of ordinary people, and even quite a few of children. "That damned beast! It has eaten so many people. No wonder people who go into the mountains in my territory disappear every few years!"

The three brothers were currently gathered around a set of remains, examining it with curiosity.

Li Wei arrived at the remains and found them to be unusually tall, estimated to be over three meters. Most importantly, compared to the other remains, these were very intact, while the others were broken, with skulls and ribs scattered all over the ground, clearly the leftovers from a wolf pack's meal.

The remains lay perfectly intact against the cave wall, hands still in the gesture of holding a sword in mid-air, sitting there with an imposing and dignified air, like a king, exuding a terrifying aura.

It has remained there in this posture for who knows how long.

"This person is so tall, the skeleton alone is three meters tall, how tall must he have been in life?"

Li Wei was shocked, but thinking about it, it was normal. There were things like breathing techniques that could defy fate and make people exceptionally tall. Not to mention others, Li Wei himself was only fourteen years old and already 1.8 meters tall. After he finished growing up, he might not be able to say 2 meters, but 1.9 meters would definitely be no problem.

Therefore, this is most likely a knight who died here for unknown reasons, and died of natural causes, rather than being killed by wolves.

Moreover, the wolves were terrified of the skeleton, so while the other skeletons were broken into pieces, this one remained intact, bearing only some traces of time.

Li Wei also noticed an ancient iron ring on the little finger of the skeleton's right hand, with the words "Mellon" written on it.

On one hand, Li Wei was constantly on guard, preventing the skeleton from turning into some kind of evil spirit to harm him. On the other hand, he secretly hoped that he could find something valuable on the skeleton, such as a treasure map.

Unfortunately, he was disappointed in the end. After studying it for a long time, he found nothing except for the ring with Mellon's name on it.

Sir Fred also entered and gave a preliminary look at the condition of the skeleton.

"These should be the remains of a knight, and judging from the majesty they possess even after death, they are very likely a powerful knight among the great knights."

"I reckon someone must have come here a long time ago and stripped him of his armor and sword."

"Sir Fred said."

"By the way, are the Great Knight's remains valuable?" Levi blurted out.

He was so poor that he wanted to see if he could convert everything into cash.

Knight Fred looked helpless: "This can't be sold. Who knows what powerful forces or dangerous stories are involved behind this skeleton?"

Li Wei certainly knew; he was just asking casually.

"However, speaking of which, in the history of the Emerald Kingdom, I seem to recall that the Black Serpent Knight mentioned a family called the Mellon family, also known as the Giant Family. Their family crest was the [Frost Giant], and they practiced the excellent Giant Breathing Technique. However, that family was destroyed by the Church's Radiant Knights eight hundred years ago for blasphemy. Could this Great Knight be a member of the Mellon family?" Knight Fred suddenly said.

"It's highly likely, another Grand Knight, and a ring engraved with Mellon's name. There's no doubt about it. And eight hundred years ago, this place didn't seem to be our family's fiefdom. Our family only became the lords of Blackwater Valley two hundred years ago." Li Wei suddenly realized.

"Perhaps this person escaped from the Holy Sword of the Knights of Glory and hid in these deep mountains, afraid to show his face until his death," Sir Fred speculated.

"Then I'll have to see if this person left behind any treasures," Li Wei said, and began to search carefully around the area.

Ultimately, after determining that the remains were nothing special except possibly belonging to a Grand Knight of the Mellon family, they were able to determine the truth.

Li Wei was disheartened and prepared to leave, planning to study the historical materials later.

However, Little Fatty seemed to have discovered something, and kept sniffing around.

Then, finding a spot, they excitedly started digging around the skeleton. Influenced by this, Little White and Little Gray, two of the three brothers, although they didn't understand what was going on, also started digging.

Li Wei became curious and stopped. Seeing this, Sir Fred smiled and shook his head, then went out to keep watch.

Before long, the three brothers dug a large pit around the skeleton. Compared to the Northern Giant Bear, Li Wei felt that these three brothers were more like groundhogs.

"Thump."

Accompanied by the sound of claws scratching at some hard object.

Li Wei's gaze was instantly drawn to it.

In the large pit, a square iron box, about one meter in size, lay inside.

Little Fatty looked at the iron box with a satisfied expression, as if he had received praise from Li Wei.

"interesting."

Li Wei never imagined that the Northern Giant Bear was used in this way.

He patted the three brothers on the head, rewarded them with the dried meat he carried with him, and then called in a few soldiers. To prevent the iron box from being a trap or mechanism, he led Sir Fred and the three brothers far away and ordered the soldiers to pry open the box.

"What's inside?" Li Wei asked.

"Sir, there seems to be a suit of armor inside... Wow, sir, there seem to be some gold coins under the armor! We've struck it rich!" the soldier shouted excitedly.

Li Wei was also delighted. Sure enough, this place was very likely the last refuge of this Grand Knight of the Mellon family. He fled here with the family's treasure and eventually died here, perhaps due to serious injuries or some other reason.

He was about to go in to check how much money was inside when he heard a soldier scream: "Aaaaaah! Damn it, this armor has come to life! It's hitting me! It hurts so much!"

Several soldiers covered their heads and ran out in a panic.

Behind them stood an empty suit of armor, its iron gauntlets holding a soldier's knight's sword. With standard and superb knightly swordsmanship, the soldier was utterly defeated.

"I'll handle this." Upon seeing this, Knight Fred didn't bother to think about why the armor could come to life. He immediately drew his sword and quickly engaged the armor in combat.

One person, one suit of armor, they fought back and forth, the battle was incredibly intense.

Li Wei immediately thought of evil spirits, after all, he had encountered evil spirits before, and he couldn't think of any other explanation for the armor coming back to life except for encountering evil spirits.

Until he saw the chest of the armor, engraved with a towering frost giant, emanating a chilling aura, and the words: "Meron".

A thought struck him, and while the knight Fred was engaged in battle with the knight in armor, he rushed into the cave and came to the side of the great knight's skeleton. He looked at the ring on the little finger of the skeleton's right hand, which was engraved with the same word "Mellon".

A bold idea formed in his mind. He pulled the ring off the skeleton's little finger, and on the inside of the ring, he saw a line of very small characters that read:

"Custom-made Frost Giant Armor - Made by the Witch Gulveig"

Thank you, Douyu, for the 100-point reward! (bows)
