More than three months have passed. The conditions between Ivan and other families have been negotiated for a long time. What these nobles ask for is not magic stones. They have the dignity of the Grand Duke and no one wants to open their mouths. However, there are also some weird conditions. Take Marquis Jutao, for example. The old Marquis said without hesitation that he could choose any number of granddaughters he wanted. He just wanted to keep as many descendants as possible in the Kasha family. Of course, this request was rejected by Ivan. He was not a seeder. Fortunately, Marquis Jutao had the nerve to say this. By the end, Ivan had harvested a total of four legendary knight-level breathing techniques, including the Fragrant Wheat Archduke's Breathing Technique, the Breathing Technique of the Violent Bear, the Gray Salamander Breathing Technique, and the Breathing Technique of the Swift Wolf. Among them, the best quality one is the Fertile Breathing Technique. Breathing method can be practiced to become a flying knight. With so many great knight-level and legendary knight-level breathing techniques, his purpose of collecting them has been achieved, and the following days turned to studying them and sorting out the spells. Not long after he returned from Xiangsui City, the envoy of the Grand Duke of Xiangmai came to Sanggu District and brought the Iron Scroll and Brocade Scroll of the Grand Duke's honors. In the eyes of everyone in disbelief, Lie became an earl and received the land corresponding to the title. With Ivan's encouragement and support, Lie began his career as an earl. The new territory was vast and rich, including a small commercial city, and the center of gravity of the territory naturally shifted there. Yiwen didn't go with him and stayed in Sanggu.
As an earl, if Lieutenant is willing and willing to cede the land after a few years, he can completely separate two or three barons. This is the wealth that Ivan left to the Marichaton family. He also gave his two older brothers and younger siblings a lot of knight-level secret breathing medicine. As for more things, it’s not that I can’t afford them, but I’m afraid they won’t be able to bear them. After examination, it was found that neither Paggie nor Sean had the qualifications to become a wizard, and Ivan was the only one in his family who could embark on the path of a wizard. In fact, not only the knight training system on Tidal Island has declined, but there is also a downward trend in the delivery of students with wizard qualifications. As far as he knows, the academy enrollment in the Moon Clamp Peninsula is every two years, while on Tidal Island it is every three years. Even four years. Among the students sent out, a wizard will appear only in twenty or thirty years, and the number of local wizards is getting smaller and smaller. This is one of the reasons why he himself is so sought after. It is foreseeable that as time goes by, the tidal island will become increasingly declining. The Marichaton family was not even a noble before, and was just a baron family in the earlier years. The current situation is normal. It is a blessing to have a third-class talent like him. Time passes day by day. Ivan has sorted out most of the spells, including the adjustment of the first-level Dark Devil's Hand, the first-level optimization of Thorn Jungle and Eye of Insect Shadow, the application and development of flower and tree shields and other spells, and also explored a new spell - Turbid Wind. . Turbid Wind, a first-level spell, can form a gust of evil wind after being cast, bringing mental blindness and damage, and also has a special poisonous effect. Like most first-level initial spells, the consumption of Turbid Wind is 5 ticks of mental power and 5 ticks of mana. It is worth mentioning that his current mental recovery speed is much faster than before, more than three times that of when he was an apprentice. In terms of spell arrangement, only the powerful immobilization spell, which is not that effective, has been shelved. In terms of breathing method, he has deduced the 'Bat Eye' to the level of a great knight. As for the corresponding secret medicine, he has no materials and needs to study it after returning to the academy. The Insect Breathing Technique has also been optimized. What the Xunmucan clan cultivates is still the energy of life. In fact, the main function of this breathing technique is not to enhance strength, but to control and stabilize the power in the body. As Randall said, this is largely beneficial to the survival rate of insects when they metamorphose. One month before returning to the academy, Ivan took Xiangdie and Wind Moth into the Black Mist Forest. "Wizard Yiwen, did you come to us to practice?" Feng Moth asked enthusiastically, looking at the traces left by the spell test not far ahead. "Don't talk nonsense." Hearing this, Xiangdie immediately scolded him. Then he thought about it and changed his words again, "You can also practice with Wizard Yiwen. Anyway, don't take me with you. I have no fighting ability. At most, I can only I can stand by and treat you.”
"coward." Wind Moth murmured and looked at the wizard with an eager look. As they continued to advance, more traces of spell testing appeared in front of them. Of course, Yi Wen's sorting out spells needed to be verified from time to time. There was no special testing range in Sanggu, so he had to find another place. Deep in the Black Mist Forest, he also suffered from this important task. Looking at the ground that had sunk one or two meters in the jungle, the clear huge palm prints, and the large area of destroyed trees, Feng Mo's expression gradually became a little stiff. At this time, Ivan slowed down and turned his head to glance at it. The wind moth couldn't help but shuddered, and suddenly realized what a stupid thing it had said. It moved slowly and unconsciously, trying to move behind Xiang Die. "We don't have time today, we have to explore a place." Ivan turned back and continued walking forward. "It's rare for you to have such filial piety. I will satisfy you another day." Feng Mo had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the second half of his words, and her heart skipped a beat. "Wizard Yiwen, I'm just talking casually. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. In fact, like Xiangdie, I don't have much fighting ability." Hearing what it said to deceive him, Xiangdie rolled his eyes in an anthropomorphic manner. He was really embarrassed to look at it. This guy was such a disgrace to the Xunmu Silkworm clan. After walking for a while, Ivan found a horizontal ridge that could be used as a reference mark. He called out the blood-colored dove and carried him deeper into the Black Mist Forest. The reason for coming here was related to the previous transaction with Grand Duke Xiangmai. Grand Duke Xiangmai provided a clue about a higher-level breathing method, saying that it was related to the royal family of the Tide Empire, so he had to come and take a look. You should know that during the Tide Empire, humans had Knight Kings, which was a realm above the Legendary Knights. At that time, the Knight Kings were the overlords of one side and suppressed the entire Tide Continent. According to Grand Duke Xiangmai, the Knight Kings at that time were all from the royal family of the Tide Empire. The blood-colored dove flapped its wings vigorously and moved forward. The entire Black Mist Forest is vast and boundless, spanning three countries, and its area is not even smaller than that of the Principality of Xiangmai. There are countless ferocious beasts and monsters hidden in the forest. For Ivan today, these beasts with low degree of demonization are nothing. In addition to wild beasts, the Black Mist Forest is most famous for its fog. The thick and gray-black fog makes ordinary people stay away, and almost no one can pass through it directly. It is reported that there is a bottomless rift in the center of the forest, and all the black fog comes from there. With the alternation of the sun and the moon, the gray-black fog emerges from it at night. Under the sun during the day, the fog becomes thinner or even dissipates, and emerges again at night, and so on. Grand Duke Xiangmai also said that many wizards have gone deep into the rift, some got lost in it, and some brought back news. There are maze-like passages below, and deeper is volcanic magma. The environment is extremely harsh and the value of exploration is not high. Ivan is going to a place near the Great Rift Valley this time. Above the forest, the blood-colored ferocious bird flew by quickly. After integrating the giant octopus heart and other materials, the blood-colored dove now has a wingspan of 13 or 14 meters, and its speed has become faster, not worse than the green dove transformed by the queen silkworm gathering the power of other swift wood silkworms. It is very suitable for traveling in such places. The blood dove flew with the wind, and under Ivan's guidance, it arrived near the destination. He took back the blood dove and landed on the ground. "Wizard Ivan, why don't we fly over directly?"
"You are so stupid. We didn't draw the map, so there will be deviations. The fog in this place never dissipates all year round. It will be troublesome if we fly over it all of a sudden. There may be some monsters hidden in the deeper part." "Who cares what monster it is, leave it to me, the wind moth." With the addition of the wind moth and the fragrant butterfly, Ivan was no less lively. No matter what happened, these two guys always liked to argue a few words. I don't know if they were born to be in conflict. "Keep quiet." Ivan spoke, and they were silent, leaving only eye contact. When we got here, the surrounding trees not only became shorter and sparse, but grew taller and more luxuriant. Even the vines wrapped around the trees were like thick snakes. Ivan identified the direction and chose a direction to continue to go deeper. The breath of one person and two insects was extraordinary. There was no blind thing to disturb them on the road, which made the wind moth look disappointed. After a while, they arrived at the foot of a mountain, where only a corner of the mountain was vaguely exposed in the fog. "The fog here forms a natural formation, covering up the traces. No wonder it has not been discovered for so long. It was not until the mountain collapsed that some clues were revealed." Ivan looked at the place in front of him that was shrouded in fog. In fact, Grand Duke Xiangmai had sent people here more than once, but countless people were killed and injured. Those who returned said that there were terrible monsters inside. The way of knight cultivation has declined, and even legendary knights are rarely born. Grand Duke Xiangmai's interest in this place is naturally greatly reduced. In addition, the situation is unclear. It is only known that it may be related to the royal family of the Tide Empire. If you want to investigate further, you must send out the Glorious Knights under your hands, or ask wizards to come forward, which is not worth the loss. Seeing that he is very interested in the breathing method, Grand Duke Xiangmai took it out as a bargaining chip. This maze was originally formed by relying on the mountain. Now that the mountain has collapsed, there must be a flaw in the formation. "Follow closely, let's go in and see what's going on." Ivan walked and stopped, and soon found the loophole in the formation, and then went into the ever-changing fog. After going deeper, he sensed the breath of the undead in the air. "Be careful, there should be undead creatures here." "Really? Don't do anything, I'll deal with it." When the wind moth heard this, it immediately became excited. If it wasn't in the maze, it would have wanted to stretch its body completely and let those undead creatures see its strongest posture. "Here it comes." After a while, the opportunity it was waiting for appeared. Clear hoofbeats sounded in the fog, and two tall figures were approaching them one after the other. Seeing that Ivan did not object, the wind moth rushed forward without saying a word.
