Chapter 10 Boundaries

"Those people have been here before."

Standing there, feeling the information conveyed by the chip in his mind, this thought flashed through Adil's mind.

He stood there and frowned subconsciously, instinctively feeling that something was wrong.

"Sir, what's wrong?" Behind Adier, several followers followed, looking at Adier standing there frowning, a little confused.

"It's okay." Hearing the shout from behind, Adil shook his head: "Let's go."

He led the people to the place where the horses were tied before, got on the horses first, and left in a certain direction under the guidance of the guide, preparing to explore the next location.

In this way, Adier carefully explored this area for several days, but except for the place where he started, he found no abnormalities in other places.

After some time, it seemed that because no "abnormality" was found in this area, Adil was sent to the border to join the other knight apprentices.

··········

Several months passed in a flash.

In a jungle in the wild, several people were carefully exploring inside.

They were dressed in different clothes, and there was a bloody smell mixed with sweat and blood all over their bodies. They all looked like desperadoes, but the expressions on their faces were very nervous, even a little scared.

They walked carefully and quickly here, trying to run forward, as if they were avoiding something.

Whoosh!

The sound of an arrow piercing the air sounded, causing a subconscious look of fear in the eyes of these people.

The sharp arrows with strong power hit one of them in the throat quickly and accurately, nailing him directly to a big tree behind him, and crimson blood flowed out directly.

"Run!" A cry of fear rang out. They seemed to have seen something terrifying. Their faces showed an expression of extreme fear for a moment, and then they fled in all directions, using their fastest speed to get away from here.

In an instant, several more arrows flew from a distance, hitting several people's chests with great accuracy and speed.

In front, a young man's figure appeared under a big tree, holding an ox-horn bow about two meters long in his hand.

He looked very handsome, but he was only thirteen or fourteen years old. He was wearing a black leather armor and walked quickly from the front like a polite and elegant young man.

But looking at this young man, the people around him seemed to have seen a devil, with incomparable despair in their eyes and even their bodies trembling.

"Can't run! He is alone! Let's go together!"

Looking at Adil's figure in front of them, among these people, a man who looked like a leader gritted his teeth and shouted loudly to the people around him.

The next moment, an arrow came quickly and penetrated his chest directly, leaving him speechless.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this scene, some people gritted their teeth and hid behind the surrounding trees, preparing to gather to confront Adil.

These people were all real desperadoes, so they naturally knew what to do at this time. At this moment, blood surged into their chests, and they all picked up their weapons and prepared to rush towards Adil.

Of course, there are also those who still ignore it and rush outside.

However, these people died the fastest. In order to prevent these people from escaping, Adil directly picked up the bow in his hand, and rushed towards those people with sharp arrows with strong force, killing several attempts.

Those who escaped were shot to the ground.

At this time, the people in front of them also gathered together, holding weapons in their hands, roaring and rushing towards Adil.

The bow he was holding was immediately put down. Adil's right hand instantly pulled out the cross sword from his waist and slashed forward fiercely.

A human head instantly fell from the sky, leaving a headless body on the spot, falling towards the ground beside it.

A battle ends quickly.

With Adil's current physical fitness nearly three times higher than that of ordinary people, these people in front of him couldn't even see his movements, and he easily eliminated them.

Adir pulled out his sword from a corpse, the expression on Adil's face did not change at all, and then quickly walked forward.

Some of the people who had been shot by arrows before were still alive. They were lying on the ground now, their bodies twitching instinctively. The worst among them was the first person who was nailed to a big tree with an arrow.

superior.

Adil stepped forward and ended the lives of these people with one sword after another, and then looked in several directions in the distance.

In the previous chaos, several people still took the opportunity to run out without being left behind by Adil.

With Adil's speed, it would be easy to catch up.

However, he finally gave up the idea and stayed there quietly, waiting for the people behind him to come and deal with it.

He stood there for a while, and then the sound of footsteps gradually came from beside him.

"Lord Adier!" There was a call from behind. A middle-aged man wearing leather armor came with a group of guards. He was shocked when he saw the corpses on the ground.

"Take care of the bodies here." Adier said calmly without saying much.

Following the order, the surrounding guards began to clean up the corpses.

It was said to be cleaning up, but in fact it was mainly about collecting trophies. The clothes and leather armor worn by these corpses, the weapons they held, and the money they looted along the way were all a considerable amount of wealth, and were carefully examined by this group of people.

Collect them and put them aside.

Adier just glanced at this process and didn't pay much attention.

As usual, most of these trophies would belong to Adil, but Adil was alone, and the blood-stained thin leather armor and crude weapons were useless, so he only took away the gold coins and other easily carried items.

The rest of what was sold was given to the guards.

The surrounding guards also knew this, so they were working hard to collect them. From time to time, they peeled off the leather armor and clothes on some corpses, not caring about the blood stains on them.

After collecting the loot, only corpses were left on the spot.

There is no need to clean these. After a few days, wild animals will naturally find this place following the smell of blood and digest these corpses.

After some time, Adil and others returned to the resting place, where there were several other knight apprentices sitting there, seemingly discussing something.

"Adier, have you caught up with those robbers before?" A familiar voice sounded in Adier's ears, making him stunned.

That was Dill, currently wearing a leather armor and holding a giant sword in his hand. He looked at Adil's figure and said with concern.

Looking at him, Adil showed a smile on his face, looked at him and said: "Dil, are you here too?"

Dill nodded and said helplessly: "There is no way. Recently, more and more bandits have appeared on the border in this area, and the battle situation on the front line has become more and more tense, so we have to send all of us here."

"That's true." Adil thought of the situation around here during this period, and couldn't help but nodded in agreement, and then asked with some confusion: "Was this neighborhood always so chaotic before?"

"That's not true." Dill said casually.

"This area is the boundary between our Kingdom of Ariel and the Kingdom of Pod. It was originally a chaotic place. There are some savage tribes living in it, as well as a large number of criminals and bandits who have fled to this area over the years. It is a difficult place to manage.

.However, although this place was chaotic in the past, it was still relatively stable. There were armed nobles led by Count Boria. Although these people were all desperadoes, they did not dare to mess around."

"But as you also know recently, the battle on the front line has reached a stalemate, and the nobles have been unable to spare their manpower. These people have become restless and want to go south to plunder."

Dill sighed, and then slowly explained to Adil beside him.

"It's understandable." Seeing him like this, Adil showed a gentle smile on his face, sat directly next to him, then pulled out his cross sword and wiped off the blood stains on it with a clean cloth.

After a while, a guard suddenly walked up to Adier and asked him for instructions in a respectful tone: "Master Adier, someone is looking for you outside."

Adil turned back, looked into the distance, and then said: "Let him come directly."

The guards behind him nodded respectfully and walked quickly to the side. After a while, a middle-aged hunter walked up to Adil.

The hunter was wearing a thick animal skin robe, holding a large cloth bag in his hand, and stood quietly in front of Adil with a humble smile on his face.

In front of Adier, he opened the big cloth bag in his hand, which contained some green snakes.

This is a green-eyed snake. It looks like there are more than a dozen in the bag. In order to avoid snake venom, the heads of these green-eyed snakes have been cut off and placed separately in another small bag.

Looking at these green-eyed snakes, Adil frowned slightly.

These green-eyed snakes had not been washed yet, and there was a strange odor inside. Moreover, among the dried green snake blood, there was also some red dried blood mixed in, which Adier quickly discovered.

This is very fatal. It means that someone was bitten when catching these snakes, and the blood will splash on the snakes. With the venom of green-eyed snakes, just one bite for ordinary people means death. There is no chance.

Word.

The lack of a labor force is almost a devastating blow to the families behind these people.

Thinking of this, Adil sighed a little.

He couldn't change anything about this situation, and he didn't want to change anything.

No matter what the original reason is, since these people choose to take risks, they should be mentally prepared to face this possibility. No matter what the final result is, it is their own choice.

He took out a money bag that had been prepared and threw it directly to the hunter on the opposite side. Then without saying anything, he directly signaled the other party to leave.

The middle-aged hunter still had that respectful expression on his face. He secretly estimated the weight in his hands, felt happy and left quickly and respectfully.

After waiting for him to leave, and some time passed, Adil began to stand up, picked up the bag filled with green-eyed snakes, and walked to the side.

He removed the snake stones from the snake meat, and then had people wash the snake meat and take it aside for processing.
