In the empty hall, looking at Adier and Elva standing aside, Sidruzhan sighed and walked directly to the room where Duke Arieu was, without staying where he was and disturbing them.
As he led him away, apart from some servants, only Adil and Elva were left.
"How did you become like this?"
Adil didn't care about Sidru's departure. Instead, he looked at Elva who needed the assistance of crutches even to stand, and frowned directly and asked.
In Adil's memory, although the original Elva was not in good health, he had at least received some knight training. Although his body was not as good as that of some knight apprentices, it was at least better than ordinary people.
But now Elva's left arm was not only cut off, but his steps were sloppy, and he could hardly even stand, as if he had been hollowed out.
Especially the haggard look on his face, which would make anyone believe him to be in his thirties or forties. He doesn't look like a young man in his early twenties at all.
"I····"
Standing there, listening to Adil's words, Elva looked bitter: "When I was in the Kingdom of Baron, I was severely injured. Not only was one hand broken, but some parts of my body could not be used afterwards.
Stronger."
He looked at Adil and said, his tone filled with a sense of dejection and death, as if he had lost his soul.
Seeing his appearance, Adil sighed softly secretly.
But thinking of Count Polya's request before his death, he still said: "Have a good rest during this period. After a while, I will find a way to help you heal your hand."
Hearing this, Elva was stunned for a moment, and then he realized: "Can you heal my hand?"
He looked at Adier and asked incredulously, with an indescribable excitement in his tone.
From the once high-ranking heir to the Northland to a complete waste, it is really difficult to understand the feeling if you have not experienced it yourself.
After his wife and child died and he became a useless person, Elva had already given up on himself. At this time, listening to Adil's words, a little hope suddenly rose in his heart.
"Yes, Adil is a legendary wizard. A big shot that even my father looks up to, he must have a way to heal my injuries!!"
Holding the crutch in his right hand and barely standing still, Elva thought excitedly in his heart.
"You go down and rest. I'll come back to you after a while."
Standing there, looking at the unsteady appearance of Elwa in front of him, Adil had no intention of saying anything else to him, so he directly said this.
As Adier spoke, after a while, several servants came over, carefully supported Elva, and helped him slowly leave here.
After Elva's figure gradually moved away, the door to the room behind Adil opened, and Sidru walked out directly.
"How does it feel?"
Seeing the expression on Adil's face, Sidru hesitated for a moment and then asked.
"What a big change."
Standing where he was, Adil had a calm expression: "I originally thought he could live a good life here, but I didn't expect that he would end up like this."
On the side, Sidru couldn't help but remain silent while listening to Adier's words.
Although it is mostly his own fault that Elva is like this now, it may also be due to their poor care.
When Adil left here, they promised to take good care of Elva. Now that Elva is like this, no matter what, he has an unshirkable responsibility.
"Prepare a private room for me." Adil stood quietly on the side and said.
·················
Three days later.
Accompanied by Sidru, Adier once again came to the room where Duke Arieu was.
At this time, after three days of soaking in the potion, the other party's condition has improved a lot. Not only has the original stench completely disappeared, but most of the dense red swellings on his body have now disappeared.
Weak, but at least a lot more normal.
"Adier, you are here."
Walking into the room, the familiar voice of Duke Arieu came.
After three days of recovery, the other party had woken up and was sitting on a chair with three young people in front of him.
These are the three sons of Duke Arieu. They are talking to Duke Arieu at this time. After seeing Adier coming, they quickly greeted him respectfully: "Master Adier!"
In response to this greeting, Adil just nodded, his expression as calm as ever, making it unclear what he was thinking.
"You guys go down first."
Looking at Adier from the side, Duke Arieu said to his three children, telling them to leave directly.
After they left, Adier stepped forward and began to help Duke Ariel check.
"Adil, how long can I live?"
A voice broke the silence around him. Looking at Adier in front of him, after hesitating for a moment, Duke Arieu asked.
Hearing this question, Adil was a little surprised, but he still responded: "Although your body is in bad shape now, after my care, it will not be a problem to return to its previous state. You can still live for at least ten years."
.”
Suddenly, Duke Ariel breathed a sigh of relief.
"If you are willing to let me make some changes to you, then there is no problem in having a life span of several decades." In front of you, Adil's voice came again.
Hearing this, Duke Arieu was stunned for a moment, and then asked with great interest: "What kind of transformations are they?"
As a top noble, Ariel also heard about the rumors about wizards' methods, especially the rumors about transforming people into undead or even monsters.
However, everyone is afraid of death, especially those who hold great power such as the Duke of Arieu. Naturally, if possible, they want to extend their life span as much as possible, even if they pay some price.
And as a member of the same race, he also believed that Adier would not harm him easily without any reason.
"For wizards, there are many ways to extend life, whether it is spells, potions, or human body modification, they can all achieve similar effects."
Standing on the spot, Adil said: "However, these methods are often more precious. For me, what can be done now is bloodline transformation."
"Bloodline transformation." Listening to Adier's words, Duke Ariel sat on the chair and was a little confused and curious: "Are the sequelae serious?"
"Not sure yet." Adier shook his head: "I haven't started the experiment in this area because of time constraints. It still needs some time and test products."
Before Duke Ariel could reply, he spoke again: "Okay, your body doesn't have much problem for the time being. In the next half month, you only need to take my special potion every day and you can recover quickly.
.”
"Sorry to trouble you." After listening to Adier's words, Duke Ariel nodded, and his eyes finally showed joy.
"If there is nothing else, then I will leave first."
After dealing with Duke Ariel's affairs, Adier nodded and looked at Duke Ariel in front of him.
After a while, he walked out of Duke Arieu's room and walked toward the door.
Walking out of the manor, a group of people were standing outside, waiting quietly for a carriage.
"Sir, shall we go back?"
Walking to the carriage, the coachman looked at Adil and asked respectfully.
"Go back directly." After getting on the carriage, Adil said calmly.
Following a slight sound of horseshoes, they soon arrived at another huge manor.
The manor here occupies a large area and is well run. There are servants working everywhere. After seeing Adil walking into it, they all saluted Adil respectfully.
This manor was given to Adil by the Duke of Arieu as his place to stay in the city of Cuma.
In addition to this manor, there are also a large number of other properties scattered here and there, as well as some gold coins.
Walking into a spacious hall, in front, a middle-aged man dressed meticulously in a butler's dress came up to him: "Lord Adier."
"Xilu, have this year's group arrived?"
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Adil asked directly.
"Sir Sidru has just sent people here, a total of thirty people. According to your request, all of them are healthy young men. They are now being held in the room behind the partition wall."
Looking at Adier, the butler named Xilu reported respectfully.
In response, Adil nodded and walked directly in a certain direction.
The manor is very large. After walking for a while, Adil came to a separation wall.
He took out the key on his body, opened the door of Grid Wall, and walked out.
Inside the separation wall is a group of buildings and huge iron cages.
Among those iron cages, strong men were naked and lying directly in the iron cages. Although they were still breathing, they were motionless, as if they had fallen into a deep sleep.
"The sleeping powder brought from the academy is very convenient to use. Although it has no effect on wizards and knights, it is useful for ordinary people who are just stronger."
Looking at the fallen figure in front of him, Adil nodded with satisfaction.
He walked directly to the iron cage in front of him, picked a random person, and grabbed him on the test bench in front of him.
Standing in front of the test bench, looking at the experimental object in front of him, Adil's face was calm, and there was a slight green light in his eyes.
That was a massive data stream surging, quickly analyzing the data on the experimental products in front of them to feed back to Adil.
"The target has no obvious symptoms, is in good health, and meets the qualifying conditions..."
After a while, in Adil's mind, the sound of the chip machine sounded again.
