However, although he was pleasantly surprised, it was not a good place to stay.

Levi found more than ten gold coins on the other ghost face mask. This was a feeble man who looked like he was a wandering knight.

As a mid-level knight, he only had so little cash on him. How embarrassing!

In the end, Levi had a total of 400 gold coins.

“Like a horse can’t be fat without grass at night, a man can’t be rich without external wealth!”

Only now did Levi realize that forging and farming were nothing compared to robbery!

“I can’t go overboard. There are too many robberies. Sooner or later, there will be a day when they get abused.”

Levi could not afford to waste their weapons and equipment, so he tied them up and carried them on his back.

“I didn’t want to do it myself, but since you’re the Duke of Montenegro’s man…” Levi muttered.

He rode the middle-aged noble’s horse and headed toward the Bird of Death’s Voice’s stronghold.

He sneaked into the stronghold and found that it had been abandoned.

Now, there was no one inside. It was gloomy.

“I wonder what the Bird of Death’s Voice plans to do next. Are they sending out grand knights? Would they send an assassin at the level of the Five Shadows to assassinate me?”

Levi did not know. He avoided the darkness and rode away from Icewind City.

The harvest, this time, far exceeded his expectations. He had only thought he could buy a breathing technique, but in the end, he received a surprise.

Compared to this pleasant surprise, the Giant Rhinoceros Breathing Technique and the Raging Bull Breathing Technique were not worth mentioning.

After returning safely to Black Water Valley, Levi threw the weapons and equipment to the forging department. He could not wait to return to the shelter and study the Soul Exorcism Manual. In the old manual, the words were written.

“When the people of this world live under the ‘Holy Light’ of the Heavenly Father and enjoy the blessings of God, our family, however, is in the shadows, fighting against those terrifying existences that people only think of as legends. We have never stopped fizhtinz.

“Since the first year of the Holy Brilliance, the once-distant Dark Wave has gradually returned. Unfortunately, only our four great families know the truth of this matter. The ancestors of our four great families once spoke to the church, hoping that the church would reveal the truth to the public, and begged the gods to let those people return to fight against the coming Dark Wave. However, the church treated our ancestors as the Descendants of the Fallen Wizards’ who created panic. From then on, we could only live in darkness.

“However, I knew there would be a day when the surging Dark Wave would sweep across this continent, and the Multidimensional Plane would overlap with our world. The terrifying existences from other planes that terrified the church and the gods would make a comeback. The world had the right to know the truth. The church could not hide the fact forever! When more people realized the evil spirit existed, the church would regret its actions.

“And the ones who could save all of this were not the gods trapped in the astral world, nor were they the churches who did nothing and chased after fame and fortune. The group of people had been forced to exile themselves to the Realm of the Unbelievers before the first year of Holy Brilliance!

“The wizards!

“I, Mahn Winchester, the last spirit exorcist of the Winchester Family, and my good friend Dean Constantine, the previous exorcist of the Constantine Family, were unfortunately trapped here when we joined forces to kill an item of the Mana Tide from another dimension. My good friend has passed away, and I know my days are numbered.

“Before we set off, our descendants were still in their infancy. I inherited my old friend’s last wish. I passed down my lifelong cultivation and comprehension of the four seals, the Seal of Flame and the Seal of Hell of the Constantine Family, as well as the Seal of Protection and the Seal of Dragon Might of the Winchester Family.

“If you can pick it up, please give it to anyone with the Winchester or

Constantine surnames. You will receive wealth beyond your imagination.

Otherwise, this item is no more than a waste to you. Remember! From Mahn Winchester, Year 864 of Holy Brilliance Calendar, Month of Warmth.”

Levi quietly read the contents of the diary word by word.

The amount of information on this small piece of parchment was enormous.

“First of all, this doesn’t seem to be the wizard inheritance that I imagined, but the inheritance of some wizard’s bloodline descendants. What was recorded in this manual were not spells but seals. It was an ability that could be activated by the bloodline and spell-casting materials of the bloodline descendants without the need to construct a spell model through meditation. It was almost a weak version of a spell and could not even be considered a cantrip. However, from the description of the owner of this manual, if the seals were cultivated to the highest realm, their powers would be more substantial than a cantrip and not weaker than ordinary official spells.

“Secondly, the diary owner mentioned that the mysterious force known as the “Dark Wave” had begun to revive on this continent a thousand years ago. However, the process of revival was extremely long. Creatures like evil spirits were abnormal existences born in the human world from the Dark Wave’s return, and this was only a precursor to the return of the Dark Wave. Evil spirits were the weakest of the Dark Wave. What was genuinely terrifying were those terrifying existences that came directly from other planes through the intersection of planes. There was no lack of facts that could fight against the gods of the astral plane.

“Gods most likely also existed, but they exist in a magical place called the astral world, a chaotic land formed by the projection of pure spiritual power. The gods lived in the astral world for eternity but were imprisoned by the astral world and could not descend to the real world. They could only use the bridges built by some believers in the mortal world, such as organizations like the church, to temporarily send a bit of divine power to interfere with the real world. And the carrier of the human world that could carry the divine power of the gods was called: Saint!

“Finally, wizards did exist but disappeared long before historical records. They had gone to a place called the Realm of the Unbelievers. From the description of the owner of this notebook, it was a place where the power of the gods of the astral world could not penetrate.

“This place was a subspace independent of the world they lived in. It was a utopia for wizards. It might be right beside them, but they could not see it.

“Its entrance could be a nameless alley, an empty hut in the forest, an abandoned wardrobe, a cave at the bottom of the lake, an ancient mirror, or even a fairy tale book. Some ordinary things that mortals looked at could become the medium of reality at the entrance to the subspace. To enter such a place, an official wizard was needed as a guide.”

“The four great Spirit Exorcism families, the Winchester family, the Constantine family, the Van Helsing family, and the Duncan family, are the descendants of the four powerful wizards in the human world. They are responsible for clearing out some of the demon waves in the mortal world, such as evil spirits. They are also responsible for finding some mortals with wizard qualifications in the human world and contacting official wizards in the Realm of the Unbelievers to take them away.”

“Unfortunately, the ‘Monster Killer’ Duncan family and the ‘Blood Kindred Killer’ Van Helsing family had completely disappeared 500 years ago, and there was no news. As for the ‘Spirit Exorcist’ Winchester family and the ‘Exorcist’ Constantine family, it was unknown if they still had descendants,” Levi muttered.

The road ahead was now relatively straightforward.

Looking directly for those mysterious wizards, such as Witch Gullwig and Ms. Rollin, was impossible.

The only ones that were relatively easy to find were the descendants of the four great families.

The last inheritors of the Winchester and Constantine families had appeared more than a hundred years ago. Levi felt that the possibility of their descendants still alive was relatively high.

Finally, after confirming his direction, Levi was in a good mood. He turned his attention to the manual that recorded the cultivation methods of the four seals.

“Since the proficiency panel can ignore the bloodline curse of knights and learn Bloodline Breathing Techniques, there should be no problem cultivating these seals, right?”
