Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 23 Zero-Ring Trick: [The Mirror Master] (Please continue reading)

Back in his territory, Li Weiqing tallied the spoils of his expedition to the mountains to exterminate the wolf king, which he found to be quite substantial.

Including those killed in the territory before, Li Wei obtained a total of 108 mountain wolf carcasses. Mountain wolf pelts are the most sought-after furs among the nobles of the North. Under normal circumstances, a pelt is worth about ten silver coins. In this world, one gold coin is worth one hundred silver coins. That is to say, Li Wei can sell these mountain wolf pelts for ten gold coins, which is equivalent to one or two months' revenue of the territory.

As for the wolf meat, Li Wei used some to comfort the families of the deceased in his territory, and stored the rest in the castle. After all, Blackwater Valley in winter is a natural refrigerator, so there was no worry about it spoiling.

If they haven't finished eating by the time the weather gets warmer, Li Wei plans to make them into something like cured meat.

These three brothers have an enormous appetite; feeding three giant northern bears is something no ordinary baron could possibly manage. The wolf meat just happened to solve his immediate problem.

It's important to know that these creatures often have territories spanning tens of thousands of square kilometers in the wild.

Of course, the value of the wolf itself is negligible compared to what was in the iron box obtained in that cave.

Inside that iron box was a layer of gold coins. Li Weiqing counted them and there were a total of 327 coins!

Moreover, since these gold coins were minted eight hundred years ago, they are heavier than current gold coins. If they were melted down, Li Wei estimated that five hundred standard gold coins could be recast, equivalent to seven or eight years' income from his territory.

In this era, many powerful lords had their own minting rights. However, to facilitate transactions, the kingdoms and nobles established a unified minting standard, so the weight of gold coins circulating in the market was generally similar.

"However, compared to the Mellon family, this amount of gold coins is not much, just a drop in the ocean. What I received should only be a small part of it."

Li Wei wasn't greedy. With so many gold coins, he could buy five bottles of ambergris, which should be enough for him to break through to the Knight level!

However, despite receiving this unexpected windfall, Li Wei's goal of continuing to make big money through forging remained unchanged. After all, he needed a stable source of income for his long-term cultivation, and he couldn't expect to get something for nothing every day.

Of course, what Li Wei valued most was the suit of armor sealed in the iron box.

Known as "magic armor," it must be armor made by wizards using magic, and after Levi's research over the past few days, he has finally figured out some of the tricks of the trade.

On the inside of these armor plates, he found some strange patterns, which he guessed were magic circles or something similar to those of wizards.

He even found usage instructions thoughtfully engraved inside the armor by the witch Gulvig, the armor's creator, for the great knight of the Mellon family, who owned the armor.

Fortunately, the script used by the wizard was not much different from that of the present day. Or rather, the wizard deliberately used a script that ordinary people could understand in order to make it easier for the great knight to read and understand.

In conclusion, Li Wei learned how to use the armor.

"Please note that the [Frost Giant] is a custom-made armor produced by Ms. Gulweg and can only be activated by someone of the Mellon family bloodline or someone who has mastered the Giant Breathing technique."

"The Frost Giant Armor is made entirely of mithril, and the following spells are solidified upon it:"

"1. Zero-ring Trick [Automatic Assembly]: After the master issues the command, the armor can automatically assemble around the master's body and can adapt to the size of the body. The trick does not consume [Ether Stones], but it needs to be charged with [Ether] that is free in the world. The charging time is one day."

"2. Zero-ring trick [Mirror Master]: After the master issues the command, puts on this armor and performs a combat technique once. The armor will automatically store the master's combat routine and solidify it in the armor's memory array. It will be used to automatically protect the master when the master is unable to move. However, this combat routine is crude and its actual combat effect will be weaker than the master's. Do not rely on it too much. The charging time is seven days."

"3. First-circle spell [Sigh of the Frost Giant]: This spell was tailor-made for Mr. Mellon by me. It can only be used by someone of the Mellon family bloodline or a user of the Frost Giant Breathing technique. After using this spell, the temperature within a ten-meter radius around the user can be rapidly reduced, achieving the purpose of freezing enemies. The charging time is thirty days. If [Etherstone] is used, there is no charging time limit, but the number of times the spell can be cast per day will not exceed once."

"Finally, custom-made magic armor is non-refundable and non-exchangeable once sold. Anything made by Gulveig is guaranteed to be of the highest quality."

After reading the contents of the instruction manual, Li Wei had very mixed feelings.

On the one hand, through this instruction manual, he saw a glimpse of a real and interesting wizarding world.

On the other hand, this amazing, incredibly powerful magical armor, comparable to cutting-edge technology, is something I can't even use.

"The ring is just a switch; the real key is the Mellon family bloodline. It seems that this was most likely a deal that the Grand Knight made with the witch, asking her to forge an incredible suit of armor for him or his family. Unfortunately, it was all in vain. Before his death, the Grand Knight of Mellon buried the armor deep underground, perhaps hoping that one day his family's descendants would obtain it and rise again with its help. Even if others obtained the armor, it would only be a pile of scrap metal because they do not have the Mellon family bloodline."

Li Wei was unwilling to give up and tried several times, but failed each time; the witch had indeed been right.

As for the other Giant Breathing Technique, it is essentially no different from the bloodline requirement.

Because the Giant Breathing Technique, a typical bloodline breathing technique, is like the Black Serpent Breathing Technique of their Black Serpent Clan, which cannot be practiced by those who are not descendants of the bloodline.

Moreover, even if Li Wei wanted to obtain the bloodline of the Mellon family through other methods, it would be impossible, because this family had already been wiped out!

"Damn it, I have a divine artifact but can't use it." Li Wei couldn't help but swear.

"It's not entirely hopeless. After all, I have a proficiency panel. Others may not be able to cultivate the bloodline breathing techniques of other families, but that doesn't mean I can't. I can find an opportunity to test it out. If possible, I will do everything in my power to find the Giant Breathing Technique."

It wasn't just for the armor; more importantly, Li Wei felt that the armor would be very useful if he were to search for traces of wizards in the future.

"I need to find out about the history of the Mellon family. Maybe I can find something useful in the dust of history."

Li Wei carefully preserved the armor. This invasion by the Mountain Wolf could be considered a blessing in disguise. Not only did he recover all his losses, but he also found clues about a new wizard, which made Li Wei even more determined to continue his journey to find the wizard.

Of course, right now, the most important thing is to practice the Black Serpent Breathing Technique, as the breathing technique is the foundation of strength.

"It's time to buy ambergris." Li Wei made up his mind. He should prepare to leave his territory and gather the materials to prepare the Black Serpent Elixir.
