At noon, the sun shines on a mountain range, bringing warmth to the earth.
Walking in the desolate mountainous area and sitting on the carriage, Adil quickly arrived at the town ahead.
Similar to the information we have seen before, this place looks very deserted, the surrounding buildings are very dilapidated, and the clothes of each resident are also very shabby. It seems that their life is not very good.
Arriving here, under the guidance of the coachman, Adil walked to the only hotel in the town.
"What? The room on the middle floor has been reserved?"
In front of the hotel counter, Adier's coachman stood in front of the counter and was arguing with a bald middle-aged man: "Isn't there even a room left?"
"Well... I'm really sorry."
Standing in front of the counter, a bald man wearing a coarse cloth looked at the driver with a troubled expression: "We don't know what's going on. Recently, there have been more and more people coming to our place. Just two days ago, an adult just brought all the people to our place."
The rooms are all booked.”
"Alternatively, you can stay in the room on the top floor. I guarantee it will be just as suitable as the room in the middle."
"Come on, it gets cold here at night. How can living on the top floor be the same as in the middle?"
Looking at the bald man, the coachman wanted to argue with him, but suddenly heard Adil's voice beside him.
"Stu, forget it, we'll live on the top floor."
Looking at the driver in front of him, Adier directly stopped their quarrel.
For him, there is no difference between living on the top floor and living in the middle. A little coldness is nothing to a formal wizard.
At this time, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from the distance.
Looking casually in that direction, Adil was suddenly startled.
On the stairs ahead, a figure suddenly appeared.
It was a tall girl wearing a black and red robe. She looked very young and had long red hair. She looked very eye-catching.
But her appearance was very familiar to Adil. It was Sistee who had left the Bal Islands with her.
Five or six years have passed, and she has changed a lot. Although her face is still a little immature, she is much more mature than before.
On her body, Adier also sensed the weak fluctuations of energy particles, and it seemed that she had reached the level of a second-class apprentice.
"What is he doing here?"
Standing there, looking at Sistie coming down the stairs in the distance, Adil frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong.
He sensed a strange aura on the other party's body, and the other party's movements at this time also seemed very stiff.
"Chip, detect the other party's body data!"
Looking at the other party, Adil seemed to be talking to the chip in his mind.
"Unknown aura detected, database comparison...84.1% of Molla's parasitism, 78.4% of advanced control, 75.6% of madness potion..." In my mind, the chip machine's prompt sounded again.
"It's not a good thing..."
Listening to the prompts from the chip in his mind, Adil couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Whether it is advanced control techniques or Morra parasites, they are relatively difficult control methods in the wizarding world, and they can forcibly control other people to a certain extent.
If a formal wizard casts a spell when the other party has no ability to resist, even a third-class apprentice will be controlled.
However, the use of these two spells is relatively difficult. The Molla Parasitism spell requires cultivating a rare parasite, and the use of advanced control spells requires engraving complex witch formations on the opponent's body to ensure control. Neither of them is generally formal.
Spells used by wizards.
The look on Sisdy's face in front of her clearly showed that she was under someone's control, which is why she exuded that unique aura.
Standing there, looking at Sistie walking out the door in the distance, after hesitating for a while, Adier did not step forward, but turned his back to him and looked at the corner with his peripheral vision.
.
Under Adil's gaze, Sistee, dressed in red, walked directly to the door.
Outside the door, a group of people were walking in from the outside. The leader was a female apprentice wearing a black robe. She had black hair, but her eyes looked sinister and cold, like the eyes of a snake.
The aura on her body was very strong, reaching the level of a third-class apprentice. Behind him, several apprentices whose movements were also somewhat stiff followed him silently.
At the end of the team, a young man with a handsome face, wearing leather armor, and shiny blond hair followed silently. His movements also looked very tough.
This is Andrew, who was also an acquaintance of Adil's from the beginning. Like Sisty, he was one of Adil's few friends back then.
At this time, his movements looked very stiff and he seemed to be under control. There was no expression on his face. He just looked at Sistee who was waiting in front and nodded.
"Where is Lord Raman?" A sharp voice sounded from the spot.
In front of Andrew, the black-haired female apprentice had an expressionless face as she looked at Sistee and asked.
"Lord Raman and Lord Miledo are together and are discussing upstairs now..."
Looking at the female apprentice in front of her, Sisty's face was blank and she spoke softly.
They chatted there for a few words, and then the black-haired female apprentice went straight up the stairs, leaving the other apprentices still here.
"What are you looking at?"
At the end, after the other apprentices had left, Andrew looked at Sistee and asked.
"That person's back... seems a bit familiar."
Looking blankly at a certain corner, staring at the back of a certain figure wearing a black robe, Sisty whispered: "It looks a bit like Adil."
Under her gaze, in the distance, the thin man in black robe suddenly turned around, revealing a broad, middle-aged face with a beard.
"Uh... Okay."
Looking at this scene, Andrew hunched his shoulders and showed a somewhat difficult smile: "Speaking of which, I don't know how Adil is doing now... Ever since he accepted the mission to investigate the mutant orcs, we have been very
I don’t hear much from him anymore.”
"But with his talent, he should be promoted to a third-class apprentice now, unlike us..."
Having said this, Andrew's eyes darkened and he looked a little decadent.
Time has changed a lot of things. In Adil's past impression, Andrew was always a confident and proud person, but now he looks very decadent and even a little numb.
Sisty on the side was the same way. Thinking about everything in the past and her current situation, her eyes couldn't help but dim.
They did not notice that in the corner they were looking at before, when they stopped looking at the corner, and when no one around was watching, the appearance of the middle-aged man in black robe suddenly changed and turned into a handsome man again.
The appearance of a young man.
Silently walking to the corner and observing the situation of Andrew and the two through the chip, Adil couldn't help but frown.
It was obvious that not only Sisti, but also Andrew and the previous apprentices had been controlled by others. Even this person's strength was not low, and he might have reached the level of a formal wizard.
This discovery immediately made Adil feel a little troubled.
He would not think that a formal wizard would come to this remote corner with such a large number of apprentices just to travel and relax.
The other party should have their own goals, and they may even be the same as Adil's goals this time.
With this thought in his mind, after a while, Adil walked upstairs to his room.
It wasn't until several hours later that he walked downstairs and sat alone in the corner of the hotel, eating his dinner.
The dinner looked sumptuous. It not only included the local special green bread, but also some local game. It tasted very good.
But sitting in front of the wooden table, Adil's attention was not at all on the dinner.
Beside him, a man in black robes and a man in red robes were sitting there, exuding bursts of aura.
