Standing on the street, feeling the wind and snow outside, Adil looked outside.
In the streets and alleys, the dilapidated streets seemed sparsely populated, with very few people appearing outside.
This is normal. In such cold weather, no one is willing to go out in the cold wind and suffer the cold unless they have no choice.
However, excluding weather factors, the reason why this situation occurs is also related to the ongoing war.
The war between the Kingdom of Senai and the Kingdom of Tamru continues.
This is information that Adier has gathered from various places in the past few days.
After capturing the southern fortress and occupying several provinces of the Kingdom of Tamru, the armies of the Kingdom of Senai are now arrayed on the border to confront the armies of the Kingdom of Tamru. Although the two countries have not continued to fight, small-scale battles have continued.
It is going on all the time, making the atmosphere nearby too solemn.
The city where Adil is currently located belongs to the Kingdom of Veruba and borders the Kingdom of Senai and Tamru. During this period, it has also been continuously affected by external wars, and the number of merchants coming and going has been greatly reduced.
In the past, even in the cold winter, there were still many foreign merchants in this city, but now they have almost disappeared.
Standing there quietly, as if he felt something, Adil looked back.
I saw a group of people walking slowly outside the city gate not far away.
This was a group of about seven or eight people wearing shabby clothes and looking a little ragged, trudging forward in the cold wind without saying a word.
From a distance, Adil could feel the faint smell of blood on these people, as well as the remaining traces of the battle.
"A group of disguised remnants?"
Looking at the people walking in front of him, Adil turned around and pulled Wendy to hide in the corner.
During this period of time, Adil has seen many remnant soldiers like this, which were basically disguised as the defeated army of the Kingdom of Tamru, and there were often a few nobles among them.
Adil turned around, not wanting to be seen by these people. After all, the size of this body's predecessor was that of a nobleman. Someone familiar with him might recognize him nearby.
Although speaking carefully, it was nothing to be recognized, but Adil still instinctively felt that it would be better to have less trouble.
While Adil was dodging, the group of people walked straight past Adil without seeing his appearance.
But when walking past Adier, one of the people in the group raised his head and looked at Adier's back. There seemed to be some doubts on his face, as if he felt that Adier looked familiar.
However, in the end, he still did not fully recognize Adil, but surrounded by people around him, he slowly rushed towards his destination this time.
Under Adil's secret gaze, the group of people slowly walked to a huge building and then disappeared.
"That person just now seems a bit familiar..."
After the group of people walked away, Adil walked out of the corner and looked at the backs of the group of people with some doubts in his eyes.
Just now among the group of people, a young man in the center, who seemed to be the leader, glanced at him, and he naturally noticed this detail.
He also felt a sense of familiarity in the man's body, but the other person's appearance was very unfamiliar. He had never seen it in the memory of this body.
"Has your appearance been disguised?"
Looking into the distance, he murmured to himself.
Although there are no human skin masks in this world, there are many things that have the same effect.
Whether it is the wizard's magic or the priest's divine magic, they can achieve similar effects.
Watching the other party's disappearing figure, Adil looked at the building the other party was heading toward.
There is a tall church there. On the periphery of the church, there are some dark black complex markings decorating it. It looks simple and gorgeous, which is impressive.
"Church of the Dark God..."
Adil raised his head and looked at the gorgeous and dim badge, this thought flashed through his mind.
The God of Darkness is a deity worshiped by several nearby kingdoms. He is in charge of the boundary between dusk and darkness. He is the only god of the Tamru Kingdom and is also spread among the Viruba Kingdom.
Standing there, looking at the church, Adier hesitated for a moment. After finally confirming the place, he walked towards a street with Wendy beside him.
Ahead, in the church, the young man who had looked at Adier before was standing quietly, looking intently in the direction of the door, as if waiting for someone to follow.
After waiting for a long time, he raised his eyebrows and realized that the other party had not followed.
"Maybe it's an illusion."
He shook his head and saw that no one came forward, so he gave up his thoughts and walked slowly towards him.
In the church in front, an old man wearing a black robe, with complex black textures painted on his face, gray hair and beard, and withered skin was standing there, wearing a dim robe.
"Welcome, Prince Ruger."
Seeing several people walking in front of him, the old man's eyes gradually focused on the young man in the center. A smile slowly appeared on his old and kind face, and he looked very happy: "Nice to see you again."
"I'm very happy to see you too." Seeing the old man, the young man also showed a smile on his face, and seemed to take a deep breath: "Brother Elula, being able to see you here is the first time I have seen you in the past few months.
Hear the best news.”
"You're flattered." Elula shook his head and looked at Luger in front of him, his face gradually becoming serious. "Your Highness, please follow me first. The city is being searched very intensively. I will take you to a more hidden place."
Place to go.”
"Sorry to trouble you." Ruger nodded, did not refuse Elula's kindness, and responded directly with a smile, obviously he was very aware of his situation at the moment.
The frontline army was defeated. At this moment, in the entire southern region, lurkers from the Senai Kingdom were looking for his traces, hoping to capture him and offer him to King Senai.
Although the Kingdom of Viruba was neutral in this battle, with the defeat of the Kingdom of Tamru, its attitude at this time tended to be somewhat closer to the Kingdom of Senai, and the search for him was also intensive.
If he hadn't carried a lot of alchemical items with him when he was fleeing, it would have been very difficult to escape at this moment.
"By the way, where are the others?"
Seemingly remembering something, Gruul continued to ask, his eyebrows showing great concern to this question.
"I haven't seen the others yet. Your Highness, you are the first ones to arrive here."
Elula said: "My mission is only to send you, Your Highness, back home safely. If I send too many people at once, I'm afraid it will increase the chance of Your Highness being exposed."
"Yeah..." A wry smile appeared on Gruul's face, as if he remembered something, and gradually fell into silence.
