Chapter 45 Ham is Pregnant, the Wizard's Secret
"I'll first cultivate the Fallen Leaf Breathing Technique to the fourth level, which is also a low-grade breathing technique. I'll try to get more fifth-level breathing techniques to improve my overall strength. My forging skills also need to break through to the fifth level at the same time. Rose City is still too small for me. I can't even collect all the materials. I'll have to go to Maple Leaf City to make a living in the future."
Lin Wei entered a meditative state.
A month later, he successfully completed the training of the Dead Leaf Breathing Technique and memorized it into the Deep Blue Face.
Three months later, the withered leaf breathing method advanced to the third level.
……
More than half a year later, on the Frost's End Festival in December, Lin Wei turned 27.
[Forging experience +7, after being tripled by Deep Blue Surface, experience +21]
[Forging: Tier 4 → Tier 5 (17/20000) (Intermediate Forging Skill)]
[Intermediate Forging Skill: You have mastered relatively proficient metal handling techniques, enabling you to forge simple composite tools and consistently improve their basic quality.]
"Not bad, my forging skill has finally reached the fifth level, and it has even been upgraded to an intermediate forging skill. Even in Maple Leaf City, this is one of the best." Lin Wei was excited. "Just the ability to consistently improve basic quality is something that blacksmiths can't match."
"Now we just wait for Rose to claim victory."
Lin Wei looked towards his heart, where withered leaves and roses were locked in a fierce battle, intertwined with each other. Two days ago, he had already raised the Withered Leaf Breathing Technique to the fourth level, which was also the limit.
A few days later, good news came from Deep Blue Face.
[Rose Breathing Technique Experience +2888, Rose → Yellow Rose, Rose Breathing Technique converted to Yellow Rose Breathing Technique (Medium), Breathing Technique cap slightly increased, cap requirement (1/3)]
[Yellow Rose Breathing Technique: Level 4 (7388/10000), Effect: Low-level Manipulation]
"Have these roses turned yellow?"
Lin Wei stretched out his finger, and yellowish barbs and yellow flowers grew from the tip of his finger, which was quite peculiar.
"Then the next step is to break through this Yellow Rose Breathing Technique to the fifth level."
"Let's go out for a stroll; another year has passed."
……
Lin Wei met Drake, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, at the small castle. Drake had already mastered the breathing technique to the fourth level and was now a fully-fledged knight.
"Master, I have not failed you." Drake said respectfully.
"Good. Continue to cultivate diligently and strive to reach your father's level as soon as possible." Lin Wei nodded, very pleased.
"Due to the turmoil of these years, Father's supernatural powers have begun to decline, and he is exhausted." Drake said somewhat sadly.
"That's a real shame. You should try to take over the reins as soon as possible."
Lin Wei didn't have much sympathy for the Duke of Rose; the man had looked down on him the first time they met.
However, he had also seen the Duke's efforts over the years, which provided an extremely stable environment for Lin Wei's low-key development.
"I heard that your father's good friend, the Duke of the Rock Sheep, has also gone bankrupt?" Lin Wei asked curiously.
"Yes, Duke Rock Sheep borrowed money from my father before he went bankrupt, but my father had limited liquid funds and didn't lend a hand. I heard that Duke Rock Sheep has settled in a princely city. Nearly 30% of the dukes have already declared bankruptcy."
"That's really cruel." Lin Wei thought for a moment and added, "Let the Duke of Rose hold on for a while longer. After all, the dukes are all standard knights with considerable strength, and the duchy also needs manpower to manage the country. We won't let everyone go bankrupt."
After encouraging Drake for a while, Lin Wei went to find Celia.
"My lord, in the past year, more and more duchies have accepted theocratic agents to reside in the country. However, there has been an increase in friction between the princes and the agents, and there are even rumors that some princes have joined forces to establish a new kingdom."
"They're all greedy guys. Let them make a fuss, just don't bother me."
Lin Wei didn't have much interest in power. He only wanted to unlock the other sides of the Rubik's Cube, embark on the path of cultivation, and explore the mysterious wizarding world. All he had to do was live a mundane life.
"The western duchies have been plagued by the Gates of Hell, with even princes-level powerhouses being sucked in and disappearing without a trace. The northern duchies, on the other hand, have produced a genius female knight named Diana. It is said that she has mastered two breathing techniques and is regarded by the northern duchies as a future epic knight," Celia continued.
"Dina? The future epic knight? Interesting." This news caught Lin Wei's attention. "She must be someone with a powerful background, otherwise she wouldn't be so high-profile."
"As for the East, the country where our Atlantis is located, there were also divine agents who took up residence there, claiming they could completely eradicate the plague and zombies. However, their arrival was thwarted on the very day they arrived by the Wandering Legion, who claimed that only the Wandering God could save all living beings. At this moment, the two sides are engaged in a fierce battle in the capital. Similar things have happened in other countries as well."
"That's good. Keep fighting and wear each other down." Lin Wei was pleased to see this. Rose City was still peaceful and quiet, and he hoped it would continue like this.
Not long after, Commander Roth came over and chatted with Lin Wei for a while. This subordinate, who had been pursuing the old count for many years, lost his motivation after retirement and gradually grew old.
Lin Wei was powerless to help, and could only tell him to take good care of himself.
During their conversation, Ham, whom they hadn't seen in a long time, also came to report on his work. He had become a successful liquor merchant, selling rum from the Chengshi territory to more cities. His once robust physique had even developed a beer belly.
"Lord Linwei, I...I'm getting married and would like your blessing." Sam, holding the hand of a beautiful lady, added, "This is Rose, the most beautiful lady I met in Rose City. She is the rose that will never fade in my heart."
Lin Wei was taken aback at first, then clapped and said, "Haha, you're a perfect match! I'll definitely be there on your wedding day. I wish you a long and happy life together."
He has been here for nearly fifteen years, and his former confidants have all reached the age of marriage. Lin Wei sincerely wishes them well.
Everyone and the soldiers of the small castle celebrated Ham's success, and Lin Wei left quietly, feeling somewhat sentimental.
"I am still like a child on my journey to find the extraordinary."
He went to the secret room to meet the female ghost Kardashian, who had grown up quite a bit, transforming from a little girl into a young woman, and gave Lin Wei a bloodline crystal of the Iron Bull Breathing Technique.
Here, take it.
"Kardashian, have a chat with me this time," Lin Wei asked with a smile. "How long have you been living?"
Seeing his unusual demeanor, Kardashian crossed her legs and said, "I don't remember, maybe a few thousand years ago. What's wrong? Not in a hurry to go back and cultivate this time?"
"You've lived that long?" Lin Wei's eyes widened. This Kardashian is an old monster.
"Yes, as we all know, humans are the shortest-lived species in this world. Mortals can only live for a few decades, knights for a few hundred years, and wizards for a thousand to ten thousand years. Even wizards have the shortest lifespans in this vast and magnificent multiverse," Kardashian said earnestly. "Correspondingly, wizards can create countless miracles and have extraordinary combat power. Perhaps because their lifespans are too short, they have too many things to do and work very hard."
"As for the current lifespan of wizards, I don't know. Wizards progress very quickly, which is a fact acknowledged across multiple dimensions."
Lin Wei was stunned and speechless for a moment.
A wizard can live for ten thousand years? Is he even human?
And yet they still call them short-lived?
Is there any reason?
"Are there still wizards on the mainland now?" Lin Wei asked hurriedly.
