"This is truly embarrassing. You are both a craftsman and a great knight. Your talent is probably no less than that of an epic knight who can master both breathing techniques." Prince Maple Leaf smiled wryly, shook his head, and his face was full of admiration.
Lin Wei simply smiled slightly, concealing his merits and fame, and crossed his arms over his chest.
"Koi, you can't kidnap my Master Torbjörn... Where are you guys going? My Maple Forest?"
"Haha, it's just a small matter. I need to go see that unlucky guy, Shark." Prince Koi stopped, and seeing that Lin Wei didn't intend to interrupt, he told the truth, spreading his hands.
"That Shark guy is always shouting that he wants to find the Lion Knight and beg for mercy." Prince Maple Leaf smirked, a smug look on his face. "This guy messed with the wrong person, but nobody knows who the Lion Knight is or where he is, unless he shows up himself."
"I'm leaving now, Prince Maple Leaf, goodbye." Lin Wei waved with a smile.
Lin Wei and Prince Koi continued on their way, leaving Prince Maple Leaf alone to brainstorm. He scratched his head, his brows furrowed.
He always felt that he was overlooking something.
"Could this lion-man be Master Torbjörn?"
Prince Maple Leaf suddenly had a bold idea, his eyes lit up, but then he shook his head, "Impossible, Master has only just broken through. In my many years of experience with him, Master is a gentle and humble person."
"But Prince Koi doesn't leave his territory easily, yet this time he dragged the master to see that shark guy."
"Impossible, impossible."
Prince Maple Leaf looked completely bewildered, grabbing his hair haphazardly with both hands. Even with his centuries of experience, he couldn't figure out the truth.
Before long, a clearing appeared ahead, with several simple wooden huts around it. This was the Shark Prince's residence. Lin Wei and his companion then saw the Shark Prince looking anxious. He was anxiously plucking his beard, which was being pulled all over the place. He was also constantly pouring ice cubes filled with frozen wine into his mouth, making gurgling sounds.
"Koi, you've finally arrived. I'll stay here obediently as you said."
"And this is...?"
Upon seeing Lin Wei's unfamiliar face, the Shark Prince's expression froze, his eyes filled with confusion.
Lin Wei smiled and said, "Rabbi, we meet again."
He then immediately activated the Silver Lion Breathing Technique, and a majestic and imposing lion-man, over five meters tall, appeared in the encampment. His body was covered by a dense aura of weaponry, which shook the surrounding rocks into the air, dispelling the Shark Prince's last doubts.
"this……"
Upon seeing the gleaming silver lion-man before him, Prince Shark trembled, his legs went weak, and he nearly knelt down, pleading, "Your Excellency, it's all a misunderstanding..."
The swan and the blood frog died at his hands, and he was no match for him. His voice was trembling with sobs.
Prince Koi was also startled by Lin Wei's sudden attack. His mouth gaped slightly as he muttered to himself, "This is the first time I've seen a lion-like breathing technique like this. This young friend Lin Wei is indeed a person of great fortune."
"Misunderstanding?" Lin Wei transformed back into human form and said calmly, looking at the Shark Prince with a serene gaze.
"It really is a misunderstanding..."
"I never intended to be your enemy..."
Prince Shark talked himself hoarse, explaining incessantly, his forehead covered in sweat, his hands gesturing incessantly.
Lin Wei listened silently, his eyes occasionally glancing at the Shark Prince.
……
Ten minutes later, the two reached an agreement, and Prince Shark apologized in the highest terms.
"Two million gold vouchers, 20 years of focus potions, plus a batch of ten kilograms of rare metals, as well as the Shark Breathing Technique and Bloodline Crystals—all of these are things I voluntarily offer to you, and I hope we can call it even," the Shark Prince said with a pained expression, his face scrunched up.
Once these things are handed over, the shark territory will be completely destitute and will need decades to recover.
"Okay, deal. I won't bother you anymore." Lin Wei nodded slightly, his expression calm.
He and the Shark Prince weren't mortal enemies; he could kill him or not, as long as he took the resources.
"I'm leaving now. Remember to deliver the resources on time."
"Senior Koi, I will do my best."
"No problem, I believe in you."
Lin Weichao bowed to Prince Jinli, then turned back along the same route, his steps steady.
Prince Shark plopped heavily into the old chair, which shattered with a loud crack, sending splinters of wood flying everywhere. Ignoring the damage, he let out a long sigh of relief, saying, "At least I'm alive." The tense expression on his face finally eased.
"I've repaid the debt my ancestors owed to the Shark Territory. From now on, behave yourself. Don't try anything funny with the resources, or I won't be able to help you anymore. Remember that." Prince Koi's expression was cold as he glanced at him, then turned and left with steady steps.
"Thank you very much." Prince Shark nodded quickly, his face filled with gratitude.
He had absolutely no intention of withholding resources. Given the Leo's domineering and forceful style, he was already grateful to have survived. Moreover, in just one encounter, the other party's powerful aura completely extinguished any thought of resistance. The fact that the other party was there was entirely out of respect for Prince Koi.
Soon, the gate to the shark's stronghold was flung open with a loud crash. The Maple Leaf Prince's face appeared behind it. Staring wide-eyed at the Shark Prince, who was now slumped undignifiedly amidst the pile of rubble, he hurriedly asked, "Master, are you truly the Lion Knight?"
"What? All I know is that I survived." The Shark Prince grinned, his face full of relief and joy at surviving the ordeal.
Prince Maple Leaf guessed the answer in an instant. His heart was deeply shaken, and his mouth was slightly open, unable to close for a long time.
He thought to himself, "Sure enough, I never expected that Master Torbjörn right under my nose would be the renowned Lion Knight." His eyes were full of amazement.
"I didn't expect him to be so close to me. He truly deserves to be called a master. He has kept a low profile for several years. His character is truly admirable."
……
Lin Wei returned to the small castle without stopping. The trees outside the castle swayed gently in the breeze, as if welcoming him back.
He felt all the gloom of the past years vanish, his mood was incredibly cheerful, and his steps became lighter. He clenched his fist and muttered to himself, "As long as the strength is there, all the grudges of the past are nothing more than this. These are just episodes in my pursuit of immortality in a larger world, following in the footsteps of the wizards." His eyes were filled with determination.
"Even a great knight can only live for a few hundred years; it'll be over in the blink of an eye." He shook his head slightly, a self-deprecating smile on his lips.
"Now I have nearly a hundred years' worth of Focus Potions, enough for me to cultivate for a long time." Lin Wei was very satisfied, a faint smile appearing on his face.
