Chapter 1030: Fusion! Deep Blue Body! (1)
Realm of Crimson.
Red Leaf Mountains.
Levi took two captives and found temporary shelter, concealing it with an array.
These two individuals had already sworn oaths under Excalibur.
Unless they wanted to be struck down by the Excalibur, the probability of sudden betrayal was low.
But low didn’t mean nonexistent; this kind of contract was ultimately inferior to the domineering Scarlet Contract.
So Levi kept his guard up, ready to act if necessary.
If they dared to make a move, his nine-layer defense would activate, showing them what despair truly meant.
The reason Levi wanted to keep them alive was twofold.
On one hand, he wanted to find out about the forces behind them.
On the other hand, he felt that he needed some workers for the array of the Seven Kings of Hell.
Wizards were obviously more suitable for the task than transcendent creatures.
“Speak up. Are both of you from the Blood Fire Demon Tower? Who ordered you?” Levi asked, his expression dark.
“I’m not from the Blood Fire Demon Tower. I’m a nomadic wizard brought here by a blood vampire. He said you were an easy target, a foreigner, and that he could quietly get rid of you here without the other side noticing,” said Roche with red eyes.
“Don’t accuse me. I just thought this friend looked extraordinary and wanted to make friends,” the blood vampire hastily explained.
“So you’re not sent by the Blood Fire Demon Tower?” Levi frowned.
Levi had dealt with the Blood Fire Demon Tower organization back in the Endless Sea. There was a Fourth-Circle Wizard named Blood Flame Demon Wizard who had created a Red Robe Association and tried to rob Levi, only to be annihilated by him.
Later, Levi learned about the existence of the Blood Fire Demon Tower, a fifth-circle dark wizard organization, from the things left behind.
Unexpectedly, he came to the Realm of Crimson and was targeted by members of this organization.
Fate was indeed unpredictable.
“Friend… Oh no, senior, there’s really no need for me to lie. You can inquire in Fire Crocodile City or the surrounding cities. The Blood Fire Demon Tower organization is no more. I’m now a nomadic wizard, and I’m also striving to turn over a new leaf… I’ll be honest with you, before I even got involved in this, I had already planned to leave the Realm of Crimson after this job. I’ll find a peaceful volcanic island in the Endless Sea and open a small weapon-making shop to spend the rest of my days.” The blood vampire spoke.
“Don’t go causing trouble in the Endless Sea. Once I’m done with my business, I can offer you both a chance at redemption. If you behave well in the future, you might even regain your freedom,” Levi smiled, his expression pure.
The blood vampire and Roche exchanged glances and said, “As long as you don’t send us to the Nine Cities Alliance… The Nine Cities Great Prison is not a place for humans.”
“Now, tell me about the Truth Oddity. If you dare to lie to me… I happen to have some transcendent creatures in heat, and I don’t recommend you experience what beast feels like,” Levi’s tone suddenly turned icy.
Hearing the threat in Levi’s words, the blood vampire quickly said, “I saw it with my own eyes, it’s absolutely correct. Some time ago, an enforcer from the Nine Cities Alliance, along with the City Lord of Fire Crocodile City and several other Fifth-Circle Wizards, launched a joint attack on our Blood Fire Demon Tower… Our Tower Master, the Blood Demon Wizard, was forced to self-detonate.
“While I escaped in the chaos, I passed by a forbidden area of our organization and saw the City Lord of Fire Crocodile City capturing a red fire cicada. At the time, I didn’t know what it was, but later I investigated and found out that it was the legendary Truth Oddity, the Summer Cicada’s Chirp!”
“My strength is weak, and I was only concerned with my life, so I don’t know what happened afterwards or whether the City Lord got the Oddity, but I heard that the City Lord has been in seclusion during this time, presumably refining it.”
The blood vampire recounted everything truthfully, constrained by the oath under Excalibur. He couldn’t deceive Levi.
Levi recalled the information he had gathered about the Truth Oddity.
Indeed, such an oddity existed.
But from the information’s function, this oddity seemed similar to the Water Dragon’s Song, also bestowing a third-circle talent.
Levi already had a full third-circle talent now, so he didn’t need it.
Instead, the increase in the limit of spiritual force was most useful to Levi.
But to offend a Fifth-Circle Righteous Wizard for this was not worth it.
Moreover, the City Master of Fire Crocodile City, as a Burning Faction wizard, might have already refined it.
Seeing Levi’s expression unchanged, the blood vampire thought Levi looked down on an Earth-level oddity, feeling anxious inside.
“Hand over all your storage bags,” Levi said.
The blood vampire and Roche both wore pained expressions and reluctantly handed them over.
Levi checked and found that the Aether Stones amounted to only a few hundred thousand.
Everything else wasn’t worth much.
In the end, after calculating, as Fourth-Circle Wizards, they weren’t as wealthy as Rex.
“Where’s your money?” Levi asked.
The blood vampire gestured to his torn white robe. “I used it to buy materials for making this Fourth-Circle Wizard Tool… Although it’s broken now.”
“You’re still a Fourth-Circle weapon craftsman?” Levi’s interest was piqued.
“Yes.”
Levi was pleased. It seemed that this blood vampire was indeed talented.
Having a skill like that and yet choosing to engage in such risky dark wizard activities was truly baffling.
Getting something for nothing was certainly enjoyable.
Next, Levi used spells and restrictions to bind the two individuals.
After ensuring everything was secure, he placed them into the Bug House.
“Leon, keep an eye on them. Don’t eat them!”
