Chapter 206: Black Snake Breaks Its Limit! (3)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Giant Bear of the Northern Territory was a symbol of courage. He could tame three giant bears as pets. In the impression of others, Levi was a rude, barbaric, and violent barbarian from the North.

Such a person was unreasonable.

Not to be provoked.

The hypocritical Southern nobles naturally understood this logic.

Finally, Levi heard a report on the security of the territory.

“Lord, there have been some strange murders in the territory recently. My strength is low, so I can’t determine who the murderer is. However, I suspect the murderer shouldn’t be a human,” the sheriff reported uneasily.

“Oh? Not a human.

Levi did not care much about the matters in the territory.

However, when he heard that the murderer might not be a human, he was no longer sleepy.

He smelled the scent of an evil spirit.

“It just so happens that my Seal of Dragon Might is almost at level 3. Let’s see which lucky fellow has delivered food.”

Levi’s Evil Spirit Dust was almost entirely used up to increase the Seal of Dragon Might’s proficiency.

Now, there were only some essential ones left for actual combat.

He was worrying about not having any evil spirits.

He was even considering opening a spirit- removal firm.

At that time, he could get lords tortured by evil spirits to pay him for removal. He could get the Evil Spirit Dust and money, and the lords would be safe.

It was the best of both worlds, a win-win situation.

“Bring me to see the dead. I want to see who dares to cause trouble in my territory,” Levi sneered.

The sheriff brought Levi to the morgue.

Levi looked at the three corpses in the morgue.

“The wounds on these three victims are similar. I suspect that they should be the same attacker… It’s what people say.”

The sheriff lifted the white cloth, and Levi looked at the slightly stinky corpses.

“What about the heart?”

Levi suddenly realized that the heart of the corpse was gone.

“When I found it, the heart was already gone.”

When the sheriff thought of such a heart-digging demon hiding in the shadows of Flower City, he could not help but tremble.

Levi carefully observed the corpses.

The first corpse was an ordinary person. His heart was missing, and his body was withered.

The second corpse was an official knight. It seemed like he was a minor noble. Similarly, his heart was missing.

“Even an official knight is no match for it. It might be an evil spirit.” Levi analyzed in his heart.

However, he had never seen an evil spirit attack with the heart.

According to Levi’s understanding, creatures like evil spirits generally did not attack physically. Instead, they attacked the soul directly.

For example, the Soulstealing Nun and Naiad were the same.

If it was a physical attack, the evil spirit had to be a physical body. It could not carry out physical attacks in its spirit state.

“Don’t tell me there evil spirits with physical entities?” Levi muttered

“I understand. Continue to increase your patrols and investigations. The criminal might be a human, but he disguised himself as a monster by digging out his heart. If you find a possible enemy, don’t make a move and report to me first,” Levi said.

From the looks of it, it did not matter if the murderer was human.

In short, ordinary knights should not be a match for him.

“Yes, Lord!” The sheriff panted and retreated as if he had been pardoned. It was a little difficult to breathe in front of the two-meter-tall lord.

Levi closed the door.

He released Tuten.

Now, he could not decide, so he asked Tuten.

No matter what, Tuten was still a wizard apprentice.

His knowledge and experience far exceeded his own.

When Tuten saw the dead, his expression turned solemn.

“If we exclude the mischievous human murderer, then the closest and most likely way to kill someone like this is the work of the Blood Clan.”

“Blood Clan? Isn’t it an evil spirit?” Levi asked.

“It shouldn’t be an evil spirit. The victim’s heart is missing, and all the blood in his body has been sucked dry. According to the wizard’s research, the Blood Clan had appeared in the human world long ago and had never left. They came from the intersection of the many planes of the Ancient Age. They were monsters left behind after creatures from certain planes invaded our world.”

“You have to be careful. The Blood Clan isn’t as easy to deal with as ordinary evil spirits or snow demons. Evil spirits are aberrations born from the combination of mortals with powerful obsessions and the Dark Wave. Snow Demons are the aberrations of the Undead that the blue frost has infected. Although they have some supernatural characteristics, their strength is limited.

“However, the Blood Clan is different. They were powerful creatures from some planes. They were as powerful as the legends said. Moreover, unlike the bards’ tales, the Blood Clan did not fear silver, sunlight, or garlic. Although they did not like the sunlight, they would not die when they met the sunlight like in the stories.

“Even for wizard apprentices, the Blood Clan was not easy to deal with, and the powerful Blood Clan would cause even official wizards a headache. My suggestion was to report this matter to the Church and let the Church send professionals to deal with it,” Tuten said.

“The Church? Count on them?”

Levi could not help but think of the evil spirit wreaking havoc in Icewind City for over half a year.

They could not even deal with a Dangerous-level evil spirit, let alone the Blood Clan.

“Do you have any books about monsters? As a wizard apprentice, monster knowledge should be a compulsory course. Otherwise, how could one deal with monsters?” Levi took the opportunity to ask.

He was lacking such a thing now. He needed to catch up on some monster knowledge to know his enemy and be more calm when facing the monsters revived from the Dark Wave.

A thin book appeared in the Pot of Equal Value.

“Knowledge is money. Monster manuals are also very valuable. After all, the knowledge of many monsters is the research results of some wizards. They usually won’t give it to others easily. However, mine is considered a more basic one. It’s about some common monsters. According to the Principle of Equal Exchange, give me the soul of a knight, and this manual is yours,” Tuten said nervously.

“No problem.”

Levi randomly found a prisoner on death row in the dungeon and exchanged the booklet with Tuten.

Franken Wizard’s Monster Manual.

“Looks like you still have a lot of good things here.” Levi looked at Tuten with a faint smile.

Seeing this, Tuten immediately slipped back into the pot. Levi shrugged and returned to the castle to start learning..
