Chapter 35 [Shadow Lord] and [Phantom Knight] (please follow up)

 Formal knights are extremely important when looking at any noble force in the kingdom.

 Now, even if Li Wei does not have a territory, he can rely on his own strength to join the territories of other nobles, become their knights, and be loyal to them.

  But Levi, who has become accustomed to being a lord, certainly does not want to be a slave for others. He has had enough of being a capitalist's dog in his previous life.

In this life, he no longer wants to live on the looks of others like he did in his previous life.

"Breakthrough knight, it's time to celebrate. I won't practice today. I'll let the twin maids give me a massage at night."

Under various pressures, Li Wei is like a never-ending machine, practicing crazily, exploding his liver, forging iron, and making money.

Although this is extremely fulfilling, humans are not machines after all and will always get tired.

Today he felt it was time to relax for a few days. He was not going to practice breathing techniques in the next few days, so he would just sleep and practice the Golden Cross Slash.

 A combination of work and rest is life.

Practice is not the goal. Longevity, freedom, and unrestrained living are the goal. Practice is just a tool.

 At night, Levi soaked in the bathtub, breaking through the formal knight status and expelling a lot of toxins. The twin maids massaged the muscles of Levi's body, one on the left and the other on the right.

“Master, your body is so hard and rough that it hurts my hands.” Ariel pouted and said softly, inadvertently revealing some of her breasts.

“Take a rest when you are tired, and let your sister continue. You two take turns.” Li Wei closed his eyes, enjoying the rare comfortable life.

 It was an uneventful night. After Li Wei finished taking a bath, he returned to his bedroom to rest.

 “I hope Knight Fred’s trip goes well.”

Li Wei was still thinking about Knight Fred, not that he was worried about the goods worth several hundred gold coins.

 Knight Fred is Levi's only relative in the world, and he doesn't want to lose him.

Just like that, Li Wei fell into a deep sleep.

 …

 Starry night, everything is silent.

In the dark night, a figure covered in black night clothes sneaked into the Blackwater Valley like a ghost. He came to the side of the Black Snake Castle and stood in the valley, looking at the towering ancient castle built against the mountain. Fort, talking to himself.

“This castle is in a good location and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It’s a pity that for me, it’s just a decoration.”

“After waiting for seven days, the snake vulture knight finally left.”

“Haha, Baron Levi, I, the Phantom Knight, accepted your head without any ceremony.”

This man in night clothes, wearing simple leather armor, is extremely flexible. He is the Phantom Knight, an emotionless killer who comes from a killer organization with members all over the kingdom: the Voice of the Death Bird.

 This is an organization similar to a killer guild. They are scattered across the country and take orders from the five top leaders of the organization.

The target of the assassination can be a civilian, a noble, or even a formal knight or a member of the royal family. As long as you pay enough, some powerful killers will take action to complete the commission for you.

Phantom Knight is one of the assassins, mainly doing assassination missions in the areas around Icewind City. He received an assassination mission from a broker some time ago from a big customer. The big customer has a very noble status, and he doesn't even know it. Who is the big patron, but he doesn't care who it is.

As long as the money is available, even if he is a formal knight, the Phantom Knight will find a way to kill him. As a wandering knight, the Phantom Knight has no worries. After killing someone, he can escape thousands of miles away and no one can catch him.

 Since his debut, he has completed many assassination missions perfectly.

 The assassination list included a baron, three noble disciples, a count's wife, and even two formal knights.

So, he didn't think it was difficult to assassinate Li Wei. After all, Li Wei was well-known for his prodigality and cowardice among some circles who were familiar with the Black Snake Knights.

 However, a truly dedicated killer will go all out even if it is to kill a hundred-year-old woman.

 So, the Phantom Knight is fully armed, with grappling hooks, daggers, poison, and quicklime.

 He approached the castle cautiously. There were soldiers patrolling under the castle.

Under the cover of night, he observed the situation around him and determined to climb over from the wall with the fewest soldiers with the help of a grappling hook, then find Li Wei's bedroom, quickly assassinate the sleeping Li Wei, and then take Li Wei's Head, go and collect the commission money.

 “Perfect plan.” Phantom Knight sneered in his heart.

 He found the weakest defensive wall. Under this high wall, there was only one sleepy soldier.

 He slowly approached and relied on his body and flexibility to get around the soldier's back.

“The Lord of Shadows is above.” The Phantom Knight does not believe in the loving father of heaven, but a very unpopular Lord of Shadows.

　　This god's authority is killing, deception, and shadow. He is the object of belief of most assassins and a small number of conspirators and politicians.

 Then, he killed the soldier cleanly. The soldier was just an ordinary person. Although he was trained, he was far behind the formal knights like Phantom Knight.

 The bodies of the soldiers quickly became cold in this season of north wind.

 The Phantom Knight did not care about the body. Anyway, he would have disappeared into the wilderness before the sun rose tomorrow.

He used the grappling hook to climb over the high wall, jumped down gently, and landed perfectly. He patted the dust on his body gracefully, and then raised his head.

 I found three huge shadows looking at me curiously.

These three shadows are the three brothers Xiaobai, Xiaohui and Xiaopang.

 The back of this high wall with the weakest defense is the bear pen of the three brothers!

The Phantom Knight never thought that one day he would come face to face with three giant bears after sneaking into the castle.

“Hell, Levi, this **** bitch, actually keeps a bear in the castle. Lord of Shadows, this is not an ordinary bear, but a giant bear in the north, although it looks underage.”

 The Phantom Knight exclaimed inwardly.

The three brothers were also confused. When the Phantom Knight was outside, they smelled a strange smell approaching the castle.

Livi's training for them includes becoming familiar with the scent of every soldier and servant in the castle, so that if any stranger approaches, they can feel it immediately.

 So, the Phantom Knight thought that his infiltration was perfect, but he didn't know that he had already been discovered by the three brothers.

Now, he has to face the attacks of three giant bears from the north. Even though they are still children, this also makes a formal knight like the Phantom Knight feel a little nervous.

 “Hell, after this mission is completed, you must add money!”
