Standing in front of the barren black land, listening to the story told by Sol, Adil lowered his head quietly and began to think.
Although most of the legends are absurd, they may not all be fabricated out of thin air. Many ancient legends may contain some real information.
Taking the place in front of us as an example, maybe there were two demon kings fighting here in ancient times.
After thinking quietly for a while, Adier no longer thought about these things, but quietly raised his head and looked into the distance, preparing to move on.
Soon, another few days passed.
In the barren black soil, there was a large market standing there, with some people living in it.
The origins of these people are very complex, some are local indigenous people, some are people who have fled from other kingdoms, and some are wanderers.
Fugitive soldiers, murderous criminals...all kinds of people are here, making the membership here very complicated.
In a place like this, Adil thought it would be chaotic, but he found that it was not the case.
Although the market in front of you didn't look very big, it wasn't chaotic inside. Although most of the people inside seemed abnormal, it still looked very clean on the outside, and you didn't even see any fights or fights.
Most of the people here have indifferent faces, each of them has more or less weapons in their hands, and they are passing by in a hurry.
There are also some poor people and lunatics who look very weak, staying in certain fixed places, and some of their bodies are twitching, looking like they have some strange disease.
"This land cannot grow food, so how do these people survive?"
Adier asked with great interest as he looked at the pedestrians walking around.
"By producing a drink called Kuma."
When he came to a familiar scene and looked at the people around him, Sol's face looked a little ugly and disgusted: "This drink can make people excited in a short time, and once you drink one bottle, you will become addicted."
, it’s hard to quit. So it’s very popular with nobles from far away.”
"Lord Adier, have you seen the black hay carried by those natives?"
He pointed to the things carried on the backs of some natives and said to Adil: "Those are the raw materials for making Kuma, things that grow from the black soil."
"Didn't you say that nothing can grow on black soil?"
Adil asked in surprise.
"That means that ordinary food and medicine cannot be grown."
Thor replied seriously: "This kind of black hay is one of the few things that can be grown on black soil. Although the yield is relatively low, it is the main raw material for making Kuma. It can only be produced in this desert."
Adil nodded slightly, then looked forward and turned to the natives.
The skin color of these indigenous people is very close to the black people in Adil's previous life, but they are generally shorter in stature, and their appearance is also more similar to another.
If the two are put together, apart from the same skin color, they can be recognized as two species at a glance.
Around, there were some slightly better-looking indigenous women who were not wearing any clothes and kept walking around, apparently soliciting customers.
Looking around, Adil took a closer look.
In addition to his appearance, the languages used by the people around him are also different from the languages Adil currently knows, so it will take some time to get used to them again.
After watching silently for a while, Adier walked towards the other side under the leadership of Sol.
Walking on the road, they were very conspicuous.
Sol and Yana aside, as half locals here, although their appearance is different from the people here, it is not too noticeable.
But Adier is different.
After completing the bloodline transformation, his appearance became more and more handsome. Even though the parts that were different from ordinary people were hidden by the jade mark, his calming aura could not be concealed, making him stand out among the people around him.
As dazzling as the bright moon in the darkness.
Moreover, he was well dressed, and the fabric of his black robe was made of fine soft silk. At first glance, he looked like a wealthy nobleman.
In the surroundings, the moment they saw Adil, several people had already taken action. Among them were dancers who were obviously doing some business, and thieves who were intent on stealing.
Of course, in addition to these, more people are still watching from a distance, but they are also paying attention to this side from the corner of their eyes.
Regarding these people, Adil looked calm and made no move.
Thor on the side turned around consciously, grabbed a certain native who quietly approached Adier with one hand, and threw him away.
bump!
The sound of the body colliding with the earth was heard. Under Thor's power, the native was thrown several meters away, and then he fell to the ground with a violent collision.
"roll!!"
After doing this, Thor's eyes widened instantly, and his upright body exuded a heart-stopping aura, intimidating those with evil intentions around him.
"At least he is a powerful knight's apprentice..."
Looking at this scene, this idea flashed through the minds of several people around them, and some of the ideas they originally held in their hearts were immediately abandoned.
"Is it okay to do it here?"
Looking at Sol's performance from the side, Adil asked with great interest.
"It's okay."
Yana, who was holding her child beside her, interrupted: "As long as you don't kill people here, it doesn't matter."
She looked very calm, even when faced with the faint prying eyes of the people around her, she didn't seem to feel anything at all, and she didn't look like an ordinary girl at all.
But it's no wonder. As descendants of ancient wizards, even if the inheritance is lost, the power of blood still circulates in their bodies.
Even a girl like Yana, who looks weak on the outside, can probably kill several adults on her own if she really takes action. Naturally, she will not take these ordinary people who are not even knight apprentices to heart.
"This place looks like just ordinary people."
As he walked along the street, silently observing the pedestrians around him, Adil thought to himself.
Along the way, he kept observing the pedestrians around him through the chip, but found nothing in the end.
The people here are basically ordinary people. Although some people have dense calluses on their hands, they are just ordinary people who have exercised well and have not even practiced the Knight Breathing Technique.
As for wizards, Adil didn't even see one, and basically couldn't sense even the faintest high-energy reaction.
It's no wonder that wizards are not common goods after all, but are extremely rare existences.
In such a barren area where resources are scarce and cannot even be self-sufficient in ordinary food, it is a strange thing for wizards to visit.
Even Adil, if Sol hadn't led the way here, would have turned around and left immediately after seeing the situation in this area, and would never have wasted any time here.
As they walked around, they soon came to a place.
It was a very shabby-looking tavern, dyed black and red all over, and there was a snake embroidered on the sign at the door, which looked a little weird.
"snake···"
Seeing the sign hanging in front of the tavern, and thinking about the curse on Sol and the other two, Adier instantly thought of something and couldn't help but whisper.
"Lord Adier, this is the only tavern here."
On the side, Sol looked at Adil with a respectful expression and said, "If you don't want to live here, then we will have to rent a few rooms from others at a high price."
"It doesn't matter."
After listening to Sol's words, Adil came back to his senses, smiled at him and said, "Just here."
As he spoke, they walked inside.
"Two rooms."
When they reached the tavern, Sol walked to the counter to negotiate with others, while Adil and Yana stood there, silently looking at the scenery inside the tavern.
As seen outside before, the main color inside this tavern is still black and red. There are several places inside that are embroidered with a black snake pattern. It seems that the owner of this tavern has a special liking for black snakes.
Around the tavern, some local indigenous people were sitting around, dressed in different styles.
"Huh?"
Silently observing everything around him, Adil was suddenly a little surprised.
In the corner of the tavern, there were several black-skinned natives sitting there. Among them was a skinny old man with a white beard and a strange hat. He was sitting there mumbling something, as if he was praying.
What surprised Adier was not the appearance of the old man, but certain marks on the old man's body.
Not wizards and knights, but something similar.
Although this old man looks thin, his physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people. Even his mental fluctuations are much stronger than ordinary people. The fluctuations in his whole life are very strong.
Under the gaze of the moon elf's eyes, the old man's body was still covered with a faint black mist. A kind of radiation similar to that of a wizard, but something different was spreading from his body. Adil
Easy to see.
"A weak pollution force field, this old man is no ordinary person..."
Quietly observing the thin old man wearing a white hat in the distance, Adil quietly analyzed, and suddenly an interest in research arose in his heart.
A kind of power knowledge that can make people stronger is very rare and precious.
Whether it is the wizard's meditation method or the knight's breathing method, they are the result of countless years of compilation by ancient wizards.
In ancient times, ancient wizards conquered many worlds, acquired different power knowledge from different worlds, and organized them into the wizard's system. Only then did the wizard become brilliant and powerful.
According to the information Adil obtained from the Emerald World, during the heyday of ancient wizards, there were hundreds of branches of wizards. Almost every time a world with a power system was conquered, several more branches of wizards would appear.
During that period, knights were also a branch of a certain wizard.
After experiencing the glorious end and the destruction of the ancient wizards, the subsequent wizard civilization rose from the ruins. Most of the knowledge accumulated in the past has been lost, leaving only the main body and some branch knowledge such as the Knight's Breathing Technique.
be excavated, re-improved and disseminated.
The power of the old man in front of him is obviously different from that of normal wizards and knights. It is very likely that he has obtained the knowledge inheritance of certain branches of wizards.
Quietly, Adil attached a ray of his spiritual power to the other party to record it.
As a peak first-level wizard, Adil's spiritual power can only be discovered by at least careful observation by a wizard in the transformation stage, and it can exist for at least a few years.
After being recorded by Adier through his mental power, as long as the distance is not too far away, Adier can feel it and can easily find the other party.
The reason for doing this is also because Adil is currently pressed for time.
The curse on Yana will break out in less than a month. In such a short period of time, Adil has no time to prepare for the experiment.
Moreover, in such a desert, there is no high-precision laboratory, and it is impossible to conduct experiments with ease just by relying on the simple materials that Adier carries with him.
He was about to face the curse left by the ancient wizard. In this short period of time, Adil didn't want to be distracted too much by these additional things.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind. After Sol came back, Adier walked up the stairs of the tavern and headed to the upper floor under the leadership of his attendants.
After they left, the skinny old man sitting in the corner of the tavern raised his head.
"Those two just now are Crassus' tribesmen..."
He raised his head. Although his body was thin, his eyes were full of energy, and the shadow of a snake flashed across his eyes.
"Elder Lal, are you going to arrest them?" a voice came from the side.
Beside the skinny old man, a native suggested in a low voice in native language, his black face looking very cold.
"Don't be impulsive!"
The skinny old man named Lal scolded in a low voice, and then said: "I can feel the power in the bodies of those two Crassus."
"That girl is okay. Her body is almost completely corroded by the power of the snake god. I'm afraid that in a few days, she will be able to attract the snake-bodied black-robed messenger."
"But that man is very difficult to deal with."
Lal's face was solemn: "I can feel the power in the opponent's body. This is definitely the core ethnic group of Crassus. Even now, the power of the snake body in the body has not exploded, and has been suppressed by the opponent's blood pressure."
"Even I am not sure about taking down a Crassus of this level. I need to contact more people before I can be sure."
"Even Elder Lal, you are not sure..."
Hearing Lar's words, several of the surrounding natives seemed to be startled, with expressions of disbelief in their eyes.
"It's more than that."
Lal shook his head slowly, his eyes always clear, and he continued to speak, with a somewhat excited tone: "Did you notice the baby?"
"Baby?" Several natives around him were stunned.
"The blood in that baby's body is very strong, far more than her parents. If she grows up in the future, even I will not be her opponent."
Lal showed an excited expression on his face: "If this kind of Krasu blood descendant with strong bloodline can be cultivated from an early age, it will be a good material for the coming of the snake god."
"If we can offer it to the snake god, we will definitely get the snake god's gift!"
