It was the year 1012 of the Holy Brilliance Calendar, Month of Northern Wind.
The cold wind howled, and snowflakes fluttered.
The mountain was covered in snow, and the Black Water Valley was covered in white.
"You guys stay here and guard the house. Do you hear me? Don't run around."
Levi looked at the three brothers and the Hen-Ha Two Generals while Harris stood on Levi's shoulder and looked at them smugly.
Because its owner wanted to take it out, not the five big guys, which satisfied Harris.
The three brothers and the Hen-Ha Two Generals wanted to go out and have fun.
However, they were too big, and Levi was not going to war. He was only going to kill the Duke of Montenegro.
Bringing these five big guys along would be too eye-catching.
The two generals and the three brothers could only look at Levi resentfully, lying on the ground, not daring to say anything.
Levi said goodbye to them and asked the person in charge of feeding them to give Habes more delicious food.
A few days ago, he had extracted a lot of Habes' blood in one go, sufficient for him for a few months. He did not know how long this revenge mission would last, so Levi prepared as many potions as possible.
Levi looked at the snow-covered Black Water Valley, the frozen Black Water River, the smoky village, and the towering Black Snake Castle.
He took Magic Shark and the Demon Mountain and left without looking back.
Harris followed in the sky and slowly disappeared into the horizon.
Compared to last year's Icewind City, this year's Icewind City was mainly deserted.
The doors of every house were tightly shut, and no one was on the streets.
"Has the evil spirit not been dealt with yet?"
Levi had been busy with his cultivation a while ago, and even the trade with the Earl of Silver Mountain had been made by someone else in his place, so he did not know much about the situation in Icewind City.
From the looks of it now, there was a high chance that the evil spirit in Icewind
City had not been dealt with yet.
Levi first went to the Shining Tavern to see if there were any recent gains.
Unfortunately, he found nothing.
The Turbellarian Eggs were still not found.
As for the breathing techniques, he did not gain anything either.
All the breathing techniques in the vicinity of Icewind City had either been bought by Levi or by some hidden breathing technique collectors. In short, there were no breathing techniques that were still circulating in the market.
Levi sat in the Shining Tavern for a while and discovered that the evil spirit was still in Icewind City.
According to the unreliable information from gossippers, the vice-captain of the Seven Holy Knights of the World, the Black Submerged Knight, had also come to the Icewind City some time ago to clean up the evil spirits.
The Black Submerged Knight was a true top-notch grand knight at his peak.
His strength was even more potent than the Earl of Silver Mountain. His power in the Emerald Kingdom was enough to rank in the top five.
Many people initially thought this wave would be settled with the arrival of the Black Submerged Knight.
Unexpectedly, the result was that the Black Submerged Knight was not a match for the evil sDirit.
The Black Submerged Knight ran away. Before he left, he brought his teacher, the head priest of the Icewind Church, Adolf, and temporarily took refuge.
Many people said the church had temporarily given up on Icewind City.
Therefore, the population loss of Icewind City was severe in this half a year.
Many rich people had already left this city for other cities.
Those with no money or way of escaping could only live here in fear. They did not even dare to come out in broad daylight.
"Is it that serious? I wonder how the Earl of Silver Mountain is doing?
Just as Levi was about to leave, he suddenly saw a group of people surrounding the Bounty Mission area.
A new mission had appeared.
Immediately, a group of people surrounded them to watch the show.
"Given the evil spirits in the city continuing to cause trouble, the Earl of Silver Mountain has specially recruited extraordinary people to hunt down the evil spirits. Anyone who can eliminate the evil spirits will be rewarded with a high-grade baron's territory or the corresponding gold coins." "Interested people can go to Silver Mountain Castle to register."
Everyone looked at the new bounty. "Even the Earl of Silver Mountain is helpless?"
"This evil spirit is too terrifying."
"Who would dare to accept this? This is suicide. Although the baron's territory is good, it's not worth my life."
The crowd discussed animatedly. After a while, they dispersed.
Levi turned around and left the Shining Tavern.
In Silver Mountain Castle, several figures stood at the mansion's entrance.
One of them was an ordinary-looking man wearing a White Wolf Mask.
It was Levi. He was among the crowd.
Not long after, the Earl of Silver Mountain looked at Levi and the others.
At this moment, the Earl of Silver Mountain was a little pale.
"Thank you for coming. I'm sure you know how difficult dealing with the evil spirit this time is. Therefore, before you carry out this mission, you must think clearly and act according to your abilities. If you lack confidence in your strength, you should withdraw now. Otherwise, if something happens, there's no one to blame," Earl of Silver Mountain said.
He looked around.
There were two who seemed to be grand knights. One wore a White Wolf Mask, while the other wore heavy armor and was tall and sturdy.
The others were not even grand knights.
Facing evil spirits could only lead to death.
However, these people must have been mentally prepared since they dared to come.
No one chose to retreat after the Earl of Silver Mountain finished speaking.
The White Wolf Mask said, "Earl, can I change the reward if I complete the mission? I don't want the baron's territory, and I don't need gold coins." The Earl of Silver Mountain asked, "Oh, then what do you want?"
The White Wolf Mask responded casually, "I haven't thought about it yet, but it's not an excessive request. Let's wait until I catch the evil spirit.."
