Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 69 Of all martial arts, layered armor is supreme! Forge the [Dragon Armor]! (Please continue reading)

Taking advantage of the forging limit, Li Wei quickly used the scales of the earth dragon beast combined with his own iron rings mixed with mithril to make himself a set of armor.

This armor exudes a wild and untamed vibe, with a very wild design.

Li Wei dyed his armor black, and the texture of the scales was still faintly visible.

The armor he wore was much lighter than ordinary plate armor, and it didn't reduce his flexibility as much as plate armor.

This armor's defensive capabilities are not much worse than plate armor. In addition, unlike plate armor, this armor, made of earth dragon scales, also has a kind of toughness, which greatly reduces the impact of blunt weapons.

"Let's call it Dragon Armor."

Li Wei gave his armor a domineering name.

"I wear an inner layer of fine iron chainmail, then dragon armor, and on top of that, a thick leather armor sewn from the hide of an earth dragon. Add to that my black energy defense, and with four layers of armor, I feel completely safe!"

"Of all martial arts techniques, armor is the supreme weapon!"

Li Wei, clad in armor and wielding Frostmourne, felt as if the world was at his feet!

Li Wei then struck while the iron was hot and made a set for Fred.

This overwhelmed Fred with gratitude, and he burst into tears.

Fred has now managed to recover some of his strength.

Although it's difficult to regain the strength of a mid-level knight, he still possesses the strength of an ordinary knight, since the seed of life is still there and the foundation remains.

If Fred had worn such armor, he probably wouldn't have been so easily and seriously injured by Iron Mountain. This is the price of not having good equipment.

"We'll keep all the remaining scales to forge armor for the three brothers when they grow up," Li Wei said in high spirits.

In addition to forging armor, Li Wei also successfully replicated a new armor-piercing crossbow based on the one he had taken back.

However, the most difficult part of the armor-piercing crossbow is not the crossbow mechanism, but the arrowheads.

The arrows he made from ordinary iron were unlikely to achieve the armor-piercing effect he desired.

Through his research, this craftsman discovered that to achieve a strong armor-piercing effect, a rarer material had to be used when forging the arrowheads.

"Obsidian".

Obsidian is a rarer metal even more precious than mithril.

On the market, a pound of mithril costs about 100 gold coins, while a pound of obsidian costs 200 gold coins.

Most importantly, both mithril and obsidian are rare metals that are rarely found on the market.

Li Wei had previously spent a considerable amount of money to purchase the mithril needed to forge Frostmourne II.

Despite the failure of the plan to mass-produce armor-piercing crossbows, Li Wei was not discouraged.

Even ordinary iron arrows, when paired with an armor-piercing crossbow, are quite powerful.

Moreover, he still has three golden arrows, which he picked up from the body of the earth dragon beast, enough to serve as his trump card.

By the time Li Wei had completely finished dealing with all the forging matters, it was already the month of budding.

Three months have passed since he destroyed the Deathbird's stronghold in Icewind City.

The Deathbird's Voice has most likely already learned of the stronghold's destruction; it's unclear what its next move will be.

Inside the shelter, Li Wei, who was practicing the Vortex Beast Breathing Technique, stood up.

Some time ago, he reached the second level of his Vortex Beast Breathing Technique, and he felt that his physique had been slightly enhanced, but the enhancement was limited.

Given his current physical condition, the benefits of the second-tier Vortex Beast Breathing Technique are negligible. To see any noticeable effects, he would need at least the fourth tier.

He opened the proficiency panel.

Li Wei————

Vortex Beast Breathing Technique: Second Tier (1000/5000)

"Without the secret medicine, this breathing technique is a bit slow to practice."

Li Wei couldn't help but sigh.

This Vortex Beast Breathing Technique is much more difficult to cultivate than that of the Frost Wolf, Human-faced Spider, or Giant Bear.

The most important reason is that Li Wei does not have the secret medicine for this breathing technique.

The secret medicine needed for the Vortex Breathing Technique is called the "Vortex Secret Medicine".

It requires a material that Levi had never heard of before: "planarian eggs".

He sent people to the Jade Merchants' Guild in Icewind City and consulted with some learned zoologists, but no one had ever heard of planarians.

Therefore, Li Wei's practice of this breathing method to this day is a sign of a hardened liver.

The results weren't very good; it took two months to reach level two.

Such speed would be considered lightning fast for others, but for Li Wei, it was a bit slow.

Practicing this breathing technique also took up a lot of Li Wei's time for other skills.

At this rate, it's impossible to know when we'll reach our limit.

"I need to go to Icewind City. First, to see what's going on with the Deathbird's Voice. Second, to check on my Breathing Technique bounty. Finally, there's the Planarian Egg... Trying to grind a high-quality Breathing Technique to its limit without relying on secret medicine is too time-consuming. Time is money, and this isn't a good strategy."

In the past three months of training, Li Wei has made progress in all breathing techniques except for the Vortex Beast Breathing Technique. However, he has mainly focused on the Black Snake and Vortex Beast Breathing Techniques, while progress in techniques such as the Human-Faced Spider and the Siren Breathing Techniques has been relatively slower.

But Li Wei estimated that in two or three months at most, his Siren Breathing Technique should reach the fifth level, and the Human-Faced Spider Technique should be not much different.

In short, after a while, my strength will see another significant improvement.

After speaking with Fred, Li Wei, wearing the White Wolf Mask, returned to Icewind City.

He first went to the Shining Tavern to see if anyone had tried to sell him the Breathing Technique during this time.

He asked the staff, and sure enough, there was one. He was overjoyed and asked the staff to help him contact that seller.

Li Wei found a private room, drank wine, and waited for the seller to arrive.

During the wait, he listened to all sorts of conversations inside the tavern.

With the aid of basic vibration perception, Li Wei's hearing is extraordinary, allowing him to hear whispers in many private rooms.

Judging from the conversations of these drinkers, the Eternal Night Kingdom in the far north had a terrible winter. Nearly 10,000 people were displaced by the cold and the so-called "snow demons," becoming refugees and heading south. The vast majority of them died on the way, suffering from hunger, disease, robbery, wild beasts, and far too many other hardships.

A small group of people ventured into the northern border of the Emerald Kingdom and the Tuva Empire. The best outcome for them was that they were captured by slave-hunting teams that preyed on refugees and vagrants and enslaved.

Among the serfs that Li Wei bought, several were from the Kingdom of Eternal Night.

They were shorter and stronger, making them excellent laborers and well-suited for forging.

For these people, life is always difficult; simply surviving is their greatest dream.

As for the so-called "Snow Demons," according to some wandering knights who were hired by the nobles of the Eternal Night Kingdom to participate in the battles to exterminate them and who survived, "By the mercy of Heaven, they are a group of tireless, fearless, frost-covered, blue ghostly flames flickering from their empty eye sockets—undead spirits!"

"Undead..." A glint flashed in Li Wei's eyes; he was curious about the origins of these snow demons.
