Walking out of the dilapidated tent, Adil gently raised his head and looked around.
It was late at night, and the residents in the surrounding wooden houses were sleeping soundly, with only a few people awake.
Due to the fright of the ghoul some time ago, the scavengers in the entire village have not yet completely recovered from their alert state, so they gathered together one by one, all in the center of the village.
After walking out of the tent, Adil did not go anywhere else, but followed the scent of the ghoul and walked directly to a certain corner.
It was a very remote corner with a dilapidated big tent inside. It looked like it had been in disrepair for a long time and no one had lived in it for a long time.
Following the breath, Adier stepped into it, and then gently picked it up with his fingers. A pit appeared directly on the ground in front of him, with a gray curtain exposed inside.
Pulling the curtain open, the items stored inside were immediately revealed, including a carefully folded blueprint made of yellow paper, a few weapons that were still in good condition, and some scattered coins.
Looking at the things inside, Adier took the lead in opening the drawing.
A very rough but fairly detailed topographic map was revealed. It marked some rough topography in the vicinity. Although many places seemed rough, it was still generally detailed.
Looking at this topographic map, Adil was stunned, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity, stemming from the original memory of this body.
This map records a topographic map of the southern area of Tamru. This topographic map even records some nearby military fortresses and the garrison locations of some soldier regiments.
The detailed content and detailed outline of the terrain made Adil feel that something was wrong, and he instinctively sensed something abnormal.
Looking at the map in front of him, Adil's face was calm, but the thoughts in his heart were turning in an instant, drifting into the distance unknowingly.
A ghoul that likes to record terrain and even wander around various military locations?
If this kind of thing were said out loud, I'm afraid everyone would be surprised.
In the map album, Adil also saw a letter. The handwriting on the envelope was very regular, and it showed that he had a lot of knowledge at first glance.
The number of writings on it is not large, but the content revealed is very rich.
"The Duke of Assyria has issued an order. Zink, you should immediately go to the southern fortress to conduct reconnaissance. Find out the terrain of the military base nearby as soon as possible, prepare for the Duke's subsequent attack, and search for..."
The writing above ends here.
It can be seen that there was originally more content in this letter, but the lower half was torn off, so that the content was much broken and not all was presented.
But just this part of the content presented so far is enough to make Adil feel something.
"Duke of Assyria... This is the king of the Kingdom of Senai..."
Looking at the letter in his hand and thinking about its contents, Adil had a strange expression on his face: "To actually drive a ghoul to inquire about information, this Duke of Assyria is really powerful..."
"However, this also explains why in the battle some time ago, the opponent came from afar, but was more familiar with the local terrain than the original owner of this body, and even used several misleading information to let Yasuo's side
The army is depleted."
In the previous war, the army of Tamru Kingdom was completely defeated.
In addition to the sluggish domestic situation and insufficient military strength, the same is true in terms of information.
During the battle, the Senai Kingdom's army had clearly come from afar and had never set foot on the Tamru Kingdom's land before, but they showed great familiarity with the local terrain and did not feel as tired as those who had come from afar.
.
Such a terrifying performance should not be so terrifying even if the opponent's army carries local tour guides.
But if it is said that before the battle, the leader of the other party sent beings like ghouls into Tamru to continuously gather information nearby, then this situation would make sense.
There is a big difference between a mortal tour guide and a being like a ghoul.
As a ghoul, not to mention its own powerful strength, just its powerful disguise ability is enough to make many people fall for it.
Just like the scavenger village in front of me, if Adil hadn't been keenly aware of the presence of this ghoul's aura mark, I'm afraid this ghoul would have continued to lurk, and it wouldn't take long to wipe out the entire village.
Kill all the people in Sai.
If this terrifying camouflage ability is used on the battlefield, whether it is used to collect spying intelligence or to directly replace the knights and troops in the opponent's camp, it will be an extremely terrifying thing.
If the Duke of Assyria can really control aliens like ghouls, it would make sense even with his previous record.
"Unfortunately, this method can only be used once. If it is discovered next time, it will not work."
Standing there quietly, thinking about the fierce offensive of the Senai Kingdom, Adil secretly shook his head while appreciating it.
This method of absorbing aliens for one's own use is indeed very effective, but few people use it.
On the one hand, the reason why existences such as ghouls are alien is because their existence itself is a kind of terror.
Just like a ghoul, the habit of a ghoul is to tear people alive and then eat all the internal organs, flesh and blood.
This kind of terrifying habit is destined to be the kind of thing that everyone shouts about no matter where it is placed, and it is widely hated and feared by everyone.
In addition, existences like ghouls, although they have weak intelligence and the possibility of communication, are often wild and rational. If they are not careful, they will immediately backfire and eat their captive tribesmen alive.
In the history of this world, there were many countries that kept aliens in captivity and even worshiped aliens as gods.
But in the end, all these countries were attacked by these captive aliens. There were even incidents where the king himself was eaten by ghouls, which was shocking.
The second reason is the church.
This world is a world with gods.
In the memory of Adil's body's predecessor, the world was filled with churches, large and small, and each church had its own gods and sacrifices.
Unlike other worlds that Adil has experienced in the past, in the world of gods, sacrifice is the mainstream of the world.
In the mortal world, churches, large and small, are ups and downs in the world, vying for believers on the earth, and even starting holy wars for this purpose.
Within the various countries, a famous priest, Mu Shou, not only spreads the faith, but also protects the peace of the world and stabilizes the areas.
However, in this world, among the many churches that can spread widely, more than 90% of them are extremely hostile to aliens such as ghouls. If they even kill such aliens with their own hands, they will receive more favors from the gods.
Therefore, although among civilians, ghouls are considered extremely terrifying creatures, within the scope of the entire continent, these aliens are suppressed and are nothing at all.
The Principality of Senai tends to have aliens come to fight for itself. It's fine once or twice, but if it is discovered by the Principality of Tamru, it will definitely be reported to the nearby church and attract the intervention of the priests.
"However, even if it can only be used once or twice, it is enough to establish an early advantage."
Standing there, thinking about the previous defeat of the Tamru Kingdom's army and some of the chaos within it, Adil shook his head slightly: "Besides, with the virtue of those nobles, I'm afraid they haven't reacted yet."
Adir didn't care about the disastrous defeat of Tamru's army.
The memories of the past are the past after all, and in the final analysis, he is not the original Yasuo, he is just a strange visitor from another world.
Compared to the disastrous defeat of the Tamru Kingdom on the battlefield, Adil was more concerned about the other part of the letter.
"Looking for...what exactly are you looking for?"
After standing quietly and thinking carefully for a while, Adier shook his head and gave up thinking about this matter. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at several other things around him.
The thing in front of me was obviously the private collection of the previous ghoul. Apart from the map and the letter, there was not much else in it.
Several weapons look very sharp, and each weapon is forged with high-quality materials. If placed outside, at least it is a weapon that only trainee knights are qualified to wear.
Looking at these weapons, Adil picked out a very sharp light gray long sword, then casually put away the other items and looked at the last coin.
There are a lot of coins buried in front of you, and the formats among them are also very complicated. There are currencies with standard currencies from several countries put together, which seems to be quite abundant.
"Probably close to one hundred and twenty gold."
After roughly calculating the value of the coins buried here, Adil was a little surprised. He was not surprised that this ghoul could collect human coins, but was surprised by the large number in front of him.
Of course, ghouls also need money.
Despite their fondness for cannibalism, ghouls are not savage creatures, but rather possess a certain amount of intelligence.
With wisdom, you will naturally have a need for some things in the human kingdom.
For example, all kinds of food and wine, all kinds of well-made weapons, and slaves who are alive, with intact internal organs, cheap and precious.
Just like people have various ways of living, so do ghouls.
The ghoul that was killed by Adil in front of him could only be regarded as an average ghoul.
The really well-off ghouls do not need to take huge risks to hunt for food. Instead, they are the great nobles of some kingdoms. Not only are they wealthy, they also own a large number of fields and raise large numbers of slaves.
At this point, if you want to eat someone, you don't need to risk going out. It's different from just buying a few slaves.
Even as a great noble recognized by the kingdom, even if some people know that they are ghouls, they can't do anything.
Even the church and priests had no choice but to compromise if they did not want to conflict with the kingdom and ultimately lead to serious consequences. Even when they saw the nobles in the form of ghouls entering the church to pray, they still did not dare to act and break up.
The ghoul who was killed by Adil in front of him probably also wanted to develop in this direction, so he had accumulated so much wealth and was planning to buy a title and land in some kingdom so that he could "reasonably and legally" eat people.
.
But now, these things are undoubtedly cheaper for Adil, which saves him a lot of effort.
After waking up from the battlefield, Adil was completely destitute at this moment. The armor and sword he originally wore on the battlefield had been swept away long ago. Apart from a little clothing to cover his body, there was nothing else left.
When this ghoul fights, he has to polish stone spears nearby and use the most primitive method to make weapons.
But with the inheritance left by the ghoul, Adier can become a small landowner in one fell swoop, and he can do some things that need to be done immediately.
Thinking of this, he stood up and put away all the coins in front of him, then looked into the distance and walked outside step by step.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
After that night, witnessed by the huge ghoul corpse and narrated by the girl, Adil's deeds quickly spread throughout this small village, causing a stir in the village.
Big wave.
There is no doubt that this is a true noble knight with a strong body. Even if he is seriously injured, he can still kill a terrifying ghoul alive with only a stone spear.
In particular, what the girl Wendy said about Adil's promise to take her away made the surrounding residents feel envious and regretful.
Following such a powerful knight, the girl's life will inevitably change in the future. Not only will she escape her humble status as a scavenger, but she may also be able to move into a beautiful manor where she can enjoy life in peace.
Some of the scavengers who discovered Adil with Wendy and even carried Adil out themselves regretted why they were reluctant to part with a few bowls of broth and missed this opportunity.
However, despite the envy and jealousy of many people, this remote village is surprisingly united. Some residents may be jealous, but no one has done anything bad.
Soon, the time lasted until three days later.
One morning three days later, under the astonished gazes of many scavengers, a huge carriage slowly walked in from the outside, passed through the winding road, and slowly drove into the small village.
.
The carriage looked very large, and the overall appearance was black. The thick white cloth blocked the scene inside, making it difficult to see the scene clearly.
In front of the carriage, a bright white tall horse was quietly pulling the horse in front, and sitting on it was a middle-aged coachman with somewhat rough skin.
Overall, this carriage was nothing, and even looked very crude in Adil's eyes.
But to these poor scavengers, this carriage is already an indescribable luxury and nobility.
Along with a burst of sound, the person sitting inside walked out gently.
