Getting from the bronze level to the silver level was not as difficult as going from the iron level to the bronze level. Along with not needing much Spiritual energy, the quality of the qi ball didn't matter either. The most important step in this process was to create a solid pool with the element you accumulated. The stronger the pool, the more qi you collected in the future would not leak and it would benefit you.William was going to create a pool foundation of the element metal, according to the technique he used and at his own demand. This would ensure that even William's next smallest attack would naturally fuse with the metal element, allowing him to use strength, sharpness, and all the benefits the metal element gave him.William directed all the metal elements in his body into the qi pool he wanted to create. Here, most bronze rank warriors would face great difficulties. But William had learned enough basic knowledge about the elements by reading Levenoth's books. This made
One hundred and fifty kilometers northeast of the valley of the wolves, on a small hill, William was sitting on a rock waiting. About three minutes later, a black shadow appeared before him.The newcomer was Comrade and he was out of breath.William spoke with a yawn. “Comrade, you are like an old uncle who dying of smoking. You have to work a little harder to catch up with me.” All the while he was smiling and thinking to himself. 'I wish I had a watch on my wrist. The situation would definitely be funnier.'“How can you be so fast? I… Are you closer to the moon-swallowing wolf than I am?” A hint of anger could be seen in Comrade's eyes. The bloodline of the moon-swallowing wolf was still proudly coursing through his veins. But because of the master-slave contract between him and William, he was unable to show any anger or negative emotions.William shook his head. Then he spoke with a helpless expression. “Probably so. Let's give it a try then, I'll activate my bloodline power and t
Side by side with Comrade, William walked through the busy streets of the city. With every step he took, he was faced with something new that would surprise him. In all the streets, including the street where he entered the city, people set up mobile stalls and sold the items they thought were valuable. Thousands of metal varieties, plant varieties, swords and armours were displayed on these mobile stalls like works of art. What amazed William most about this city was that almost everyone was a warrior or a wizard. He had seen hundreds of iron rank warriors since he entered the gates of the city. Even bronze rank warriors were like cabbages, there were at least a few around every corner. However, he could only see three silver rank warriors. All three of them were quite old in appearance. These warriors formed teams of five or six, bargaining for various items from mobile stalls. For wizards, it was impossible for William to miss them. Even the poorest-looking mage was clad in gold
William found the information in the booklet to be very useful. A small map of the city was drawn inside the booklet, and all the streets were named individually with the shops inside. He couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the street of wine sellers four blocks away. There were eighteen wine shops, and they detailed the wine varieties they all specialized in. Even some famous mages' comments about the wines in this shop were added. William didn't know any of these mages, he simply memorized a few shops and continued to peruse the booklet. Many more special places were written in the booklet. Especially the street of brothels and some private tea houses were written in red and gold. In the descriptions of these tea houses and brothels, the names and appearances of extremely famous women were also written. William didn't have a comb for those 'jobs' yet. He wanted his first in this world to be a little special. The booklet continued to mention various shops. The explanations o
William followed Derek for several hours without getting bored. Thanks to this young man, he had the opportunity to memorise all the important places in the city of Sanala in a few hours. Because Derek had visited dozens of shops, including buying souvenir wine and spent a year's income of a normal mage. He was starting to look tired when he came out, especially after he stopped for five minutes in the brothel he had last entered.As William followed him, Derek finally came to a large villa. Derek slipped comfortably through the guards at the door and entered. William continued walking along the street to the Villa wall, which was not a door. There were no guards here to see him, and it was the perfect location for espionage. Using the moon-swallowing wolf lineage, he began to inspect the villa and its garden. Since the land in the city of Sanala was valuable, the area covered by the villa was not very large, allowing William to examine it comfortably.Derek continued on a straight ro
When the two of them went upstairs, they met a crowd of about eight or ten, all grumbling as they awaited their arrival. Most of these angry people expected someone to make the first sound, but William didn't give them a chance.He immediately spread the silver rank pressure and subdued the crowd in front of him. Most people in this crowd were either bronze level or first level wizards, but William's pressure was enough to suffocate them.As a descendant of the moon-swallowing wolf, William's pressure was stronger than usual, just like a hunter meeting his prey. Not a single sound came from the crowd.Even the silver rank man next to him was staring at William's back, eyes wide open. The only thought that crossed his mind was, “So many times stronger than me!” Even though only half of William's face was visible because of the veil, the crowd fixed this young man's eyes on their minds. The queue for a few minutes was no longer important to them.They quickly cleared a path for William
Walter was momentarily surprised to hear that his name was William and tried to look at his face a little more carefully. After squinting and thinking about it for a few seconds, his eyes widened as if they were immediately enlightened, and his smile grew larger.He wanted to get up quickly and give a simple noble bow, but when he saw William raise his hand, he quickly sat back down."No need, Mr. Walter, I'm just William." William was stroking Comrade's head with his left hand. “Now, could you please give me a price for the overall value of the ingredients?”Walter immediately nodded his plump head. “As you wish, Mr. William.”He then pulled out a few herbs from the dimensional bag that William had given him. “Sir, the total amount of items in your dimensional bag, excluding these plants, exceeds one hundred thousand soul stones.” He pointed to the plants he had taken out. “These plants are much more valuable than normal. I can't give you an exact price for these because they only hi
Half an hour passed as William and Comrade were enjoying their meal. During this time, the crowd below had grown even more, and almost all the seats were filled. On the platform on the stage, an old man was busy placing some papers on the small table. This old man was accompanied by several beautiful maids. William thought of this man as the man who would run the auction. Despite his age, greying hair and hunched waist, his eyes and hands looked extremely energetic. In fact, despite all this, William also discovered that this old man had power at the beginning of the silver level.After William and Comrade had wiped the food off the table in front of them, he told Alma to clear the table. Alma soon came out and summoned the other maids, and it took a few seconds for the table to be cleared and folded into a small wine table. As the other servants emerged, Walter appeared at the door and respectfully presented a small dimensional bag to William.“These are the money for the plants our
William didn't notice, but even his posture began to change. Now his chest was further forward and, most importantly, his nose was a little higher in the air. With his height, he began to look down on people.Worst of all, William didn't even realize it. Arrogance was slowly seeping into his blood, taking over his body without him wanting it. Since William was not aware of it for the time being, he entered the main hall of the mansion, thinking that he would show his usual behavior.He was wrong, as he thought he would only meet the City Lord. There were more than ten people in the room, and they were all sitting quietly in their seats, discussing something passionately. As soon as William and Doravoli entered the hall, the woman sitting at the front raised her hand and everyone suddenly fell silent.Then the woman stood and smiled.William recognized the woman. She was one of the three people who had helped him survive the attack of the mysterious bandit mage and complete his mission
William was watching the bedroom of a house five hundred meters away from the roof of a two-story house. His eyes and face could not be seen in the darkness of the night. But a person standing next to him might have the impression that William was deep in thought.Strangely enough, William wasn't thinking about anything at that moment. It was as if there was a black hole in the bedroom of the house he was watching, and it was sweeping everything away, including William's gaze and thoughts.William felt lifeless right now, like a rock with no IQ.'How did this happen?' William had been on this roof for two hours and had asked himself the same question hundreds of times.Doravoli and Elasha for a few minutes, thinking they would leave after a farewell kiss, but he had listened to the lustful voices of the duo for two hours.'How did this happen?' At first, everything was normal. There was no conversation that contained any suggestive hints. These were normal everyday conversations and s
Elasha thought this was the most boring day of her life. Following his sister's agreement, she was forced to come to Valimar and open new trade routes to several surrounding cities and towns. Opening these trade routes was never easy, as Valimar and the surrounding cities were surrounded by incredibly dense forests. Cutting down these trees and establishing observation points and crossing points were time-consuming tasks. And the hardest part was finding apprentice mages to work at these points.Nevertheless, she succeeded as usual because she was surrounded by hardworking people. Everyone loved her and her sister, except for a few people who didn't care much about money. If they did their job right, money would automatically fill their pockets.Meeting Enid had been a bit eventful. At first, she wanted to refuse Elura's deal, but Enid and Elura's plans gave her enough reason to be convinced.Elura had started making plans as soon as Elasha had left the White City to start the purific
"Then we agreed. I'll get you the best flame I can find. But first I have to find it, you know they are very rare." William smiled and packed up the camp. They had spent enough time here.Just as they were about to start their journey deep into the forest after packing up the camp, William felt a vibration from his dimensional bag. He immediately took the vibrating device out of his dimensional bag.It was the seal of the Expedition Organization, and it contained a message from Fabian.[Go to Valimar. Find Enid, the City Lord. She will explain everything to you].William's face darkened. Valimar had not left him with good memories. Elura named woman had been a real nuisance to him, and while he had forgotten that story, taking on a mission like this spoiled his mood.Frankly, he wanted to relax in the White City for a few months. His journey had improved him enough, and he was ready to make another breakthrough at any moment. Of course, the most important problem on his mind was Dorav
"Have you finally woken up?" Doravoli looked at the weak William lying in the shadow of the rock. He had a sad, tearful expression on his face. He was sitting across from William, gnawing at the flesh of a small creature. It was a small lizard.He had a bandage on his cut foot.William felt more tired than ever, but when he discovered that he could move his hands with a snap of his fingers and a little bit of mana, he pulled hundreds of useful items from his ring. Most of these items were healing potions and blood crystals.He spoke with difficulty, as even the movement of his jaw was painful. "Blood crystals, put some in my mouth."Doravoli was also very tired. He even hunted down the small lizard he had gnawed, using his magic only because the lizard was too close. He waved his hand and, controlling his mana, took some of the blood crystals and brought them to William's mouth. Then he used some himself.Half an hour later, William regained some consciousness. He could move a little
"Absolute Cut!" William shouted at the top of his voice, attacking the real body between the two copies with the strongest ability he had.The wind blade that came out of the tip of William's sword flew unblocked toward its original target, too fast for the two clones to react. The moment William's sword emerged, it struck the man's body. William knelt in weakness, but he still had one eye on the man. He wanted to see him die with his own eyes.When the ability hit the man, his body split into two, just as William expected, and the two clones vanished instantly. The sword in the hand of one of the copies fell to the ground as if it were a real object and not a spell."Hğğğğğ..." (Blood-filled guttural sound.) A growl came from the body of the man who had been cut in half.William barely raised his head and looked at the man's body in surprise.Two separate body parts were resisting falling to the ground. He was still standing. The six-centimeter gap between them was covered by an invi
"No matter what happens, I will be with you and we will fight together." Doravoli heard everything that was said and realized that this man was after William. Even though names like 'Storm God', 'Nicolas', and 'Nak'kato' were unfamiliar to him, Doravoli would help in any way he could because he was his friend. -He knew who Nicolas was, but he didn't understand why the man in front of him cared about Nicolas.-William bowed his head. At the slightest movement of the man, he was ready to pull dozens of potions from his ring and cast his spells. He knew that this was a classic cliché and wasn't surprised that he found himself in it, but he only remained on the dark side as to why.While William was in deep thought, the man's voice filled his ears."I...You..." Suddenly the man froze. He made incomprehensible noises and his body bent slightly. William knew this was the perfect moment to attack, but he held back, for soon the man straightened his body and showed his old smile again.He rai
"Hey Doravoli, you can't carve that wood like that!" William grabbed the flat chisel and the piece of blue ironwood out of Doravoli's hand."You never listen to what I say! Look at it again and pay attention." William began to get angry. Today was two weeks after he started teaching Doravoli blacksmithing. The two of them had almost reached the middle of the rocks. They were a little slow, but it was an acceptable pace.William held the piece of blue ironwood in his left hand and tucked it between his knees. Then he supported it firmly with his left hand and began to "float" the flat chisel on the surface of the blue ironwood with his right hand."Look, if you hold the flat chisel like this, none of the lines you make will be crooked. You have a strong body like mine, so this shouldn't be a problem for you. But you stubbornly insist on holding the flat chisel sideways, and that causes you to make little notches in the wood. Doravoli, if you want to do something of quality and worthy o
The two guarded the area for a day and had fun until the next day. The townspeople never set foot in the area because Lennard had warned them. Occasionally, a few brave official mage-level adventurers would stop by, but thanks to William's ability to throw cups, the wounds they received from hundreds of meters away, and a few minor scoldings, escaping became their priority.The next day, Fabian appeared again like a meteor over Greyscar. The way he flew was so dominant, like an unstoppable rocket. It seemed as if he could crush anything that came his way. William realized that day that Fabian's speed was even slightly faster than the strengthened Lennard.Fabian came alone. There was no one behind him, and as soon as he arrived, he looked at William briefly and then quickly examined the surroundings. He didn't speak at all, and although that made William a little uncomfortable, he didn't care. He acted the same way in the first ruin he discovered. The second time he saw Fabian, he rea
