Chapter 1652: 0383 Red Lotus Prison Thirty-six Petals, Crimson Emperor Dragon Fire Refines the Starry Sky! (Big Chapter, seeking monthly tickets and subscriptions)
Ancient Saint Plane.
Emperorās Palace.
Levi looked at the ring and had a sudden realization.
"So, thatās why Flower Knight wanted the Big-eyed Monsterās materials, to make me a gift... But I havenāt heard of Flower Knight making artifacts. Could she have asked someone else to do it?"
His heart was filled with doubts, and he was eager to find Flower Knight and get some answers.
"This Sixth-Ring Magical Artifact seems to be of top-quality workmanship... Itās quite precious. If I am to reciprocate, I definitely canāt give something cheap. It must be worth at least 100 million Aether Stones."
After studying it, Levi put the ring on his right index finger.
It was a storage ring with a space capacity larger than all the other rings on Leviās hand combined.
Moreover, it was extremely durable and not easily damaged in battle.
Aside from storage, the "Flower Gaze" had the following features.
First, it could cast the "Flower Barrier" spell, whose effect was comparable to that of Flower Knight casting it personally, strong enough to withstand a full-force strike from a Sixth Ring Senior Wizard, almost as powerful as the Wind Disaster Pearl.
Second, it could cast the "Stars Forever" spell, capable of trapping a Sixth Ring Senior Wizard for a moment.
Levi had witnessed the effects of these two spellsāthey were part of Flower Knightās capabilities.
Finally, the eyeball on the Flower Gaze could project a phantom image of a "Nightmare Cannibal Flower" with roughly Level 6 Early Stage strength that lasted for a minute.
The Nightmare Cannibal Flower could create a powerful "Nightmare Illusion" and craft "Flower Demon Traps," proving to be formidable.
Under normal circumstances.
A Fifth-Circle Wizard would not be able to use a Sixth-Ring Magical Artifact because the consumption was too great, and they could not bear it.
But Leviās spiritual force and spell power far exceeded those of an ordinary Fifth-Circle Perfection.
So he tried, and now he could just manage to use this "Flower Gaze" ring.
It could only be said that using it might leave him drained.
But as a trump card, it was quite impressive.
Fumbling with the ring, Leviās mind wandered in thought.
The next day.
Levi went to Flower Hall.
Flower Knight pushed open the door, her eyes bleary with sleep.
Uncommonly, she wore a robe, her blond hair draped over her shoulders.
Unlike Levi, Flower Knight had a fixed sleeping schedule every month.
On that day, she would be like a corporate drone from Leviās previous world, not thinking about cultivation and other troublesome matters. She would just sleep, read leisurely, or have a tea party with her good sister Triss.
"Commander, what wind brings you here?"
Flower Knight stretched and yawned as she spoke.
Levi fell silent for a moment before saying,
"I... I also want to prepare a birthday gift for you, but a year might not be enough time. Your gift was too precious."
Flower Knight smiled and said,
"You look so worried. Canāt think of what gift to give me? Youāre not feeling pressured because I gave you a gift, are you?"
Flower Knight looked at Levi, finding it hard to associate him with the creature inside the ancient tower whose presence was incredibly imposing.
She continued,
"Think of my gift to you yesterday as a small token from our members to you, their commander. That should make it feel a lot lighter.
After all, the value of a gift isnāt whatās important, and no one can always give expensive gifts.
Sometimes my girls give me some food I liked when I was a mortal, a weapon, or a beautiful wildflower Iāve never seen; I can smile sincerely, gaining precious emotional value."
Levi nodded.
"Thank you, I think I understand a bit more. Iāve come step by step, never daring to slack in my cultivation, often overlooking some of the things around me."
Flower Knight laughed,
"Youāre doing well. Otherwise, how could you have achieved what you have today? You must have some special opportunities that gave you your current strength, but not everyone with those opportunities could reach your level."
As their conversation went on, they ran out of topics and silence fell awkwardly.
Levi quickly said,
"By the way, arenāt you about to reach rank five? Let me tell you about some things to pay attention to. These are insights Iāve gained from my own experience and from other members.ā
Flower Knight smiled,
"Welcome!"
...
After the lesson with Flower Knight, Levi returned silently to the Emperorās Palace.
"I hope everything goes well."
He couldnāt help touching the "Flower Gaze" ring.
In the days to come, aside from his cultivation, Levi planned to ask the 24 Flowers about Flower Knightās preferences.
Of course, he wouldnāt do the asking himself.
He found Mia and shared his request with her. Mia said she would handle it.
Days later,
Inside Flower Hall.
Flower Knight was sitting across from Sakura Witch and Violet Witch, her eyes curving with hidden smiles.
"Why is Mia asking you these questions?"
Sakura Witch said,
"Lord, I... we donāt know. Could it be that Master Fire Dragon is interested in you? So we didnāt know if we should tell her."
Because Levi was in seclusion most of the time, they usually treated Mia as the Holy Infantās messenger.
Flower Knight spoke with a chuckle,
"Just tell her. Thereās no harm."
Violet hesitated,
"Lord, is that really alright?"
Flower Knight said,
"I know what Iām doing; just cooperate with her."
After the girls left, Flower Knight remained at home alone, seemingly in a good mood.
"Quick to apply new knowledge, I see."
...
Half a year later.
Small Stone Pond.
Levi opened his eyes and accessed the proficiency panel.
Leviāāāāāā
Crimson Emperor Dragon Breathing Technique: level 17 (Maximum)...
...
"Phew, another breathing technique has reached its maximum, and itās the Crimson Emperor Dragon, the most powerful one for me."
