"This is fire paper. When you are about to set off, this paper will burn, and then you can come to find me within seven days. I usually reside here.ā Wenster handed the red fire paper to Levi. After inspecting it and finding nothing wrong, Levi kept it.
"Remember, seven days, donāt be late,ā Wenster emphasized.
"Thank you. I wonāt disturb you any longer.ā Levi thought for a moment and handed a booklet to Wenster.
Wenster looked puzzled, but when he took the booklet and glanced at it, he couldnāt help but be shocked. āIs this a letter from our ancestors?ā
After excitedly finishing reading the words, Wenster said, āAccording to the instructions of our ancestors, I will reward you. Please wait a moment.ā
Wenster went back into the house and rummaged through his belongings. He came back with a small box and opened it, revealing it to be filled with gold coins.
"I know you probably donāt need money, but besides money, we donāt have much else to offer. I hope you understand,ā Wenster said apologetically.
Levi glanced at the box, which held a little over 1,000 gold coins. It was a small amount, but it was better than nothing to him. He accepted the money and quietly left the mansion.
Wenster stared at the Spirit Exorcism Manual in a daze. He had some Imowledge about the seals on it and had studied them before.
However, due to the lack of systematic guidance, his understanding of them was quite shallow. Whether it was the Seal of Dragon Might or the Seal of Protection, he had only scratched the surface.
Honestly, as the bloodline of the first ancestor became thinner and thinner, Wenster didnāt know how many more years the Winchester Family could continue.
He could never have imagined that the outsider he had just met had already mastered their familyās seals to such a high level.
Leaving the capital, Levi didnāt have any strong attachment to the place. To be honest, after meeting the members of the four great families, he realized that they were just like anyone else.
"Families tied by bloodlines will eventually decline, even extraordinary ones.ā
"There are no invincible families.ā
"Itās most important to strengthen oneself.ā
Levi remained calm.
"Next, itās just a waiting game.ā
"Thatās not a bad thing. Before becoming a wizard, Iāll strive to further develop my skills as a knight. This way, when I enter the world of wizards, Iāll have some self-protection.ā
Although Levi had never been to the wizarding world, he understood that the law of survival of the fittest would remain unchanged.
Wizards were not a group of virtuous individuals, as seen in Tutenās tragic fate. Carelessness could lead to being killed by oneās mentor and turned into an artifact spirit. Though not all wizards were like this, it was enough to demonstrate the cruelty of the wizarding world.
Essentially, wizards were humans, but ones who wielded transcendent powers without necessarily being bound by corresponding laws. Without the restraints of morality and law, the dark side of human nature could magnify.
With the Four Generals of the MO family, Levi returned to Black Water Valley. For now, everything seemed normal there, but Levi couldnāt predict when the blue frost would arrive.
Upon learning that blue frost had already invaded Montenegro Mountain City, Levi no longer felt safe in his shelter.
"I need to move, relocating to Tulip Hill. Even if blue frost appears in the south, it will probably take a long time.ā
"Based on the current trends, itās unlikely that blue frost will reach the south within the next ten years.ā
Levi contemplated his options. He was a person of action and after careful consideration, he promptly decided to lead his people southwards.
Black Water Valley was no longer a viable option, and its potential was nearly depleted. The harsh and cold conditions in the northern region limited agricultural growth.
For so many years, the reason why Black Water Valley had developed and expanded was mainly because they had purchased food from the South. āNow that the war has been decided, itās time for me to take back my territory.ā With this determination, Levi began the process of relocating his territory.
Upon hearing about the move, some of the people didnāt understand while others were very excited. Nevertheless, they all unconditionally respected their lord, Leviās decision.
With the Black Water Valley being substantial, the preparations for the move lasted for almost a month. Leviās butlers were working tirelessly while Levi himself continued to oversee the moving progress, only occasionally intervening as needed.
In the year 1014 of the Holy Brilliance Calendar, during the Month of Harvest, after the final wave of wheat had been harvested, the massive migration army of the Black Water Valley set out.
Levi gazed at the territory he had called home for over a decade, feeling sentimental.
"Weāve managed to withstand so many enemies, but in the end, we couldnāt resist the wrath of nature,ā Levi sighed.
The blue frost calamity was more dreadful than any natural disaster.
During this period, he went to Montenegro Mountain City to assess the situation. The city was a living hell with the Snow Demons inflicting torment on the mortals.
The kingdomās army had suffered significant losses and was forced to retreat from Montenegro Mountain City. Compared to Snow Valley City, Montenegro Mountain City had a much larger population, making it even more perilous for the entire Northern Territory to face such a snow demon disaster.
As a result, Levi decided to relocate to the South.
But he wasnāt alone in this decision.
Many other lords also chose to move south, either by purchasing territories at high prices, reclaiming unclaimed lands in the dangerous southern wilderness, or aligning themselves directly with some of the prominent lords in the south.
Numerous feudal lords trom the north, who were once revered, became refugees after the Snow Demon disaster.
In contrast, the astute nobles in the South took advantage of the situation and prospered financially..
