Levi had spent half a year on this long journey. Just the journey alone had taken a long time.

Honestly, Levi was already prepared for his house to be stolen.

However, when Levi arrived at the Black Water Valley on New Year’s Day of the 1009th year of the Holy Brilliance Calendar, everything in the territory seemed normal from afar.

However, there was no festive atmosphere at all. It was dead silent.

This made Levi extra cautious. He did not take the main road back to the castle but took another route to the shelter. Everything at the top was normal and the same as when Levi left.

The Frost Giant Armor and the tools he used to refine potions were as usual.

Seeing that the Frost Giant Armor was functioning, Levi was temporarily relieved.

"Now is a good time to test if the Frost Giant Armor can be used,” Levi thought. He felt that something was wrong with the territory. Something must have happened.

To be safe, he ensured his skills were at their peak before leaving the shelter.

He put on the ring that controlled the Frost Giant Armor.

At the same time, the Giant Breathing Technique, which was only at level one, began to circulate.

In an instant, Levi felt the Frost Giant Armor within his being. A magical feeling of blood connection was produced.

"It works!” Levi was pleasantly surprised!

After obtaining the Frost Giant Armor for so long, Levi could finally use it.

At the same time, the pieces of the armor started to float up magically.

Like floating petals, they danced around Levi.

There were three spells on the Frost Giant Armor, two of which were Zero-Ring Cantrips.

The first cantrip was [Automatic Assembly].

"Assemble!” Levi shouted.

Crackling!

Pieces of armor gathered on Levi’s body.

At this moment, he felt like he had become an armored warrior!

He felt a sense of shame as if he had transformed!

Then, the armor that the three-meter-tall grand knight originally wore fitted perfectly on Levi’s body.

Levi tried to move around, and he was very agile.

Although it was less effective than wearing armor, it was not inferior to chain mail.

In general, its flexibility was far superior to other armor.

"In the future, this armor will never leave my body. Even if I don’t use any spells, just the protection of this pure mithril is the best in the world!”

As long as one tael of mithril was mixed in, any armor could become a divine weapon worth hundreds of gold coins!

Based on the density of the mithril, Levi’s armor required several hundred pounds of mithril. This was truly priceless!

"However, such a gorgeous armor is too high-profile on the outside. It’s better to wear it on the inside. I’ll put Dragon Armor on the outside and not wear the chain armor. With my current strength, the chain armor’s defense is minimal.”

Mellon’s ring was also worn on Li Zheng’s finger. This was the switch to use the three spells that came with the armor.

The Zero-Ring Cantrip and Automatic Assembly were used to disassemble armor.

The Zero-Ring Cantrip, Mirror Master, was used to replicate one’s combat skills on the armor.

Levi planned to carve the Golden Cross Slash on his armor when he had time. He did not know if he would succeed. After all, this was an advanced combat technique.

The last spell was this armor’s most crucial trump card and core skill!

First-circle spell, Frost Giant’s Sigh!

It could rapidly reduce the temperature within a 10-meter radius around Levi, freezing the enemy.

Levi believed that even a grand knight would not be able to last long with the Frost Giant’s Sigh.

Of course, the cooldown period of this spell was extremely long, requiring a month of automatic charging time, so Levi had to grasp the right timing to use it.

Levi had changed his weapon with the Frost Giant Armor. Even if grand knights were hiding in the castle, he was confident he could defeat them.

After all, he was almost unbeatable with the defense of the Frost Giant Armor. As long as he could break through the opponent’s defense, he should have a chance of winning.

"The Frost Giant Armor, the Seal of Protection, and the Seal of Flames… I am getting closer to becoming a wizard!”

"Let’s go out now and see what’s going on outside. Why is the castle so quiet?”

He activated his Intermediate Vibrosensing. After confirming that no enemies were lurking at the shelter’s exit, he began to look for Fred in the castle.

However, after searching around, Levi did not find Fred. There were bloodstains everywhere in the castle and traces of fighting. There were also some corpses of soldiers. They died tragically as if an electric saw had torn them apart.

Levi’s expression was solemn. He came outside the castle and found that the three brothers were gone. The door of the bear pen was wide open.

In the end, Levi began to search in the back mountain. He found the hidden valley where Fred trained his cavalry. In the valley, Levi finally saw a figure and the sound of a horse.

He saw a large number of residents and some injured soldiers. Their faces were filled with sorrow, despair, and hopelessness.

Levi’s face sank, knowing the territory had encountered a great enemy.

With the military power of Black Water Valley before he left, unless it was the military power of the earl or an enemy at the level of a Grand Knight, they couldn’t be a match for Black Water Valley.

When those despairing people saw Levi, they were in disbelief, and then many broke down and cried.

"My lord! You’re finally back!”

Team leader Sam wiped his tears and fell to his knees.

"Fred…Sir Fred died!”

Sam could not help but feel pain, and many of the surviving cavalrymen were also crying.

"What’s wrong?” Levi frowned and asked.

Sam told Levi about the situation.

Just three months ago, a group came to Black Water Valley.

There were not many people, only four of them.

They claimed to be wandering knights and asked to see Levi. Fred guessed they were probably Levi’s enemies and not ordinary wandering knights.

He said that Levi was not around, which was true.

However, those people did not believe him and were unwilling to leave. They began to use force, directly violating the laws of the kingdom. They broke into Levi’s territory and even killed their way into the castle.

Fred and the militia naturally refused. They engaged in a fierce battle with the group of people. The Red Blood Cavalry also joined the battlefield. Many of the enemy died under the joint attack of the cavalry, infantry, and the three brothers.

However, there was a big terrifying guy. He was as powerful as a demon king. Even if they had the advantage in numbers, they were still not a match for him!

Fred said he was a grand knight, and they couldn’t defeat him. There was no chance of winning! He asked Sam to retreat with the three brothers and more than half of the cavalry. They did not want to waste Levi’s military strength. They wanted to preserve their strength and wait for Levi to return before taking revenge!

Sam did as he was told and led his men to a hidden valley.

Fred led the rest of the troops to stall the grand knight. Sam only found out about the result a few days ago.

Fred and the soldiers were all killed by the Black Water River. Only a few survivors were saved, and the big guy was gone.

Then, Levi arrived.

Sam and the others had been hiding in this valley all this time. They dared not go out, afraid that the grand knight would come again.

"Where’s Fred’s body?” Levi asked calmly.

However, everyone could feel Levi’s burning anger..
