A soft voice came from far away, instantly attracting the attention of the two people in front of them.
In front of them, following the sound, the two people turned around and looked, and then they were stunned.
On the white floor, a person stood gently there, wearing a long robe from top to bottom, and the long sword on his waist looked very gorgeous and conspicuous.
The young man has a tall and straight posture, handsome appearance, and a pure and holy temperament. At this moment, he looks at each other lightly, with an indescribable noble temperament.
He just stood there, his long hair shining slightly in the sunlight, and his fair skin sticking out of his sleeves. He didn't look like a knight who had been training hard day and night, but like a knight sitting at home, day and night.
An aristocratic scholar who reviews books.
This inexplicable magnanimity and suffocating temperament immediately made the two people present dare not take it lightly, and immediately attracted their attention.
"You are?"
Looking at Adier walking in front of him, the middle-aged man who had previously looked gloomy and loudly talked about collecting debts changed his expression and asked cautiously.
Being in the royal capital, surrounded by nobles in all directions, and having lived in this city for a long time, the middle-aged man in front of him naturally developed a good eye and knew what kind of people should not be easily provoked.
Although the young man in front of him looks young, his bearing is extremely extraordinary, and there is a calm and calm temperament between his eyebrows, as if no matter who stands in front of him, he can't be moved in the slightest.
Such magnanimity is definitely not something that ordinary nobles can support. They are either unique themselves or they were born among the top nobles.
But beside him, the moment she saw Adil, the woman named Xilimu was stunned. There was a glint in her eyes, as if she was a little excited.
"Yasuo, a member of the Bakuru family."
Gently raising his head and looking sideways at the girl, Adil said casually, then threw out a money bag, which accurately fell into the hands of the middle-aged man under the subtle control of his mental power: "Here are five hundred gold coins.
, is that enough?”
"Here" held the money bag in his hand, opened it, and after confirming the number of coins in it, looked at Adier in front of him, the middle-aged man hesitated, and finally said: "I'm afraid it's not enough."
"Huh?" Adier was stunned, but this time he was really surprised.
In this world, the purchasing power of a gold coin is no longer small. Under normal circumstances, a noble's annual expenditure is probably between one or two gold coins.
Five hundred gold coins is a large amount even for a noble family like the Bakuru family with a long history, but it is not enough to repay the debt?
How could the Bakuru family owe so much money?
"Please forgive me." Noticing the surprised look on Adil's face, the middle-aged man showed a wry smile: "About two months ago, Sir Shim used the Bakuru family's several settlements in Tamu as a base.
We mortgaged and took 800 gold coins from our Chamber of Commerce, but recently, we found out that those blocks of land had been sold to other people long ago."
There was a wry smile on his face, and he felt very aggrieved by this incident.
Listening to this, Adil had no expression on his face and just frowned secretly.
Sir Him, this is the eldest son of the Bakuru family, the brother of Adil in this body, and the future successor of the Bakuru family.
"In just a few months, even the family residence has been mortgaged. What on earth is going on?"
After frowning, Adier turned around and said, "Go to the South Street Manor to find me tomorrow and bring back all the original mortgage certificates."
While speaking, he glanced at the other person lightly.
In an instant, a murderous aura that killed countless people and killed countless creatures, like a butcher's, surged away. It surged in an instant and poured directly into the depths of the opponent's mind, making the opponent's whole body tremble directly. Cool air fell from the sky, chilling his entire body.
At this moment, the middle-aged man had a strong premonition in his heart that as long as he dared to say "no" to the person in front of him at this moment, he would immediately be killed on the spot and turned into a pool of cold flesh and blood.
Suddenly, his heart felt cold. He looked at Adier in front of him. He suppressed the fear in his heart and did not kneel down. He left without even daring to say a word. It was as terrifying as the legendary abyss of hell before him.
"Yasuo"
After the man left, the woman who had been standing next to him and looking at Adil timidly spoke, looking a little unsure.
"It's me." Hearing the woman's voice, Adil came back to his senses, and his demeanor returned to normal in the blink of an eye, without any trace of change at all.
"It's really you." Looking at Adier, Xilimu's eyes were filled with disbelief, a hint of surprise, and a bit of joy from the bottom of her heart: "Are you okay?"
"Half a year ago, I heard the news that you were trapped on the battlefield. I thought I would never see you again. Fortunately, fortunately, the God of Darkness still protects us. Just hope you are fine."
She stepped forward and held Adil's hand tightly, her face flushed.
This kind of enthusiastic attitude and warm emotions made Adil a little unaccustomed to it for a while.
In terms of relationship, the person in front of him should be his cousin in this body. He is also a member of the Bakuru family, but the relationship is more distant.
In the past, because of the dullness and taciturnity of the original body, the original body did not have many good friends in the clan, and the girl in front of him was one of them.
"How is the situation in the clan?" After sending the man away and following Xilimu beside him, Adil walked into the somewhat dilapidated manor in front of him, looked at her and asked.
"The situation in the family is a bit bad." After listening to Adier's words, Xirimu sighed softly, and then started to talk about some of the things that the Bakulu family has experienced in the past two years.
Since the fall of the southern fortress, the territory of the Bakuru family has also fallen. Even the current head of the Bakuru family, Baron Dolu, died on the battlefield in the south, and his body has not been found yet.
After the death of Baron Doru, the members of the Bakuru family moved northward with the migration of a large number of nobles, and were moved to Tam City.
"Based on the preparations the family has made in the past, even if Tamu's power is not as strong as before, it shouldn't be reduced to the current situation, right?" Listening to Xilimu's story, Adil was a little confused.
After all, the Bakuru family is a noble family that has been passed down for many years. Even if the territory is lost, the entire family will inevitably fall into decline, but the heritage left behind will not completely fade away in a short time.
With the preparations made by the Bakuru family and the connections left behind, how could they be reduced to the point where they need to mortgage their residence?
"It's Master Him." Xilimu showed a bitter smile on his face: "Since coming to Tamu, Master Him seems to have changed. He hides in various casinos to have fun all day long. As time goes by, what we brought with us originally
Almost all the gold coins that came were lost by Master Shim."
"The Baron is not here, and none of us can persuade Master Shim. I originally thought that the young master would stop after losing all the gold coins he brought before, but I didn't expect that."
There was a wry smile on her face, and there was a little disappointment in her eyes. It seemed that she was completely disappointed in Himli.
"Fortunately, Master Yasuo, you are also back." Then, she looked at Adier, who had a tall and straight figure in front of her, and his temperament was completely different from the past, and couldn't help but said: "It's just that, Master, you have changed a lot. I used to
I almost didn’t recognize you.”
"No matter who you are when you crawl out from a pile of corpses, there will definitely be a lot of changes."
Adil raised his head slightly, and suddenly stopped at this moment, looking towards a certain corner.
There, a thick wall stood quietly, with a little black and red blood on it, which looked completely dry.
"What is that?"
Looking at the blood stains, Adil stood on the spot and asked softly.
"It was left by Master Him before." Xilimu sighed softly: "When I first came to the royal capital, Master Him seemed very unstable. He drank outside every night and didn't come back until late at night.
"
"The blood stains there were accidentally left by Master Shim when he came back from outside drunk one night."
"Really?" Adier asked softly, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
The moment he saw the blood, his essence and will as a fifth-level person made him keenly aware of something amiss.
"Not a human being," he muttered to himself, and at this moment he discovered something keenly.
"What?" Beside her, Xilimu asked in confusion as she didn't hear what Adier said clearly.
"Nothing." Adil shook his head and looked at the blood stains. After a long time, he asked: "Where's Shim?"
"I don't know." When the name was mentioned, the girl's face instantly darkened: "Maybe she's still drinking at a bar outside."
Adil nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
After a while, after walking around the manor in front of him, Adier directly declined Xilimu's offer to stay and left the place directly.
Not long after, his figure appeared again.
Gently raising his head and looking at the slowly darkening sky around him, Adil casually walked aside, closed his eyes, and waited quietly.
With Adil's current strength, even if he is not deliberately concealed, just the instinctive shielding of his mental power can make it impossible for people to directly observe his existence. Even if he is standing there, his sight will automatically ignore him and regard him as the background.
plate.
Now that he is actively covering up, with Adil's current strength, unless a real golden knight comes, it will be extremely difficult for anyone to discover him.
He just waited there quietly, waiting for the target to appear this time.
Time passed quietly, and as dusk passed, night gradually appeared. A bright moon shone in all directions, spreading light in all directions on the earth, as if it was covered with a layer of light silver.
While Adil was waiting, a figure gradually appeared on the ground in the distance.
He was a young man who looked quite young, and his appearance was quite handsome, but his face looked a little pale.
He was dressed in black clothes and had a tattered-looking long sword on his waist. He looked very decadent. Even though he was tall, he gave people a sense of depression.
Under the shroud of darkness, the young man walked slowly towards the manor where the Bakuru family was located. His whole steps seemed weak and weak, and his shadow grew longer under the thin moonlight.
Feeling the arrival of this person, Adil slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes slowly focused on the young man.
The person in front of me is indeed Shim, his brother in this body.
But compared to the past, at this moment, Adil clearly felt a sense of disharmony on the person in the distance.
It was a vague premonition, derived from Adil's original will.
The young man in the distance is indeed his physical brother, but the other person's body and spirit, and even the depths of his soul, exude a sense of disharmony all the time.
Most people may not be able to detect it, but in Adil's eyes, it is very obvious.
Moreover, Adil also clearly sensed something from the blood stains left in the manor.
In the distance, under Adil's gaze, Shim slowly walked into the manor, and with the support of several old servants, he slowly walked into his room.
During this process, Adil also followed in and stood at the door of Shim's room, quietly watching him fall into a deep sleep.
On the big bed in the room, Shim looked pale and smelled of alcohol all over his body. He looked like he was sleeping deeply and showed no signs of waking up.
Standing quietly outside the room, looking at his appearance at the moment, Adil also frowned.
In his perception, Shim's whole body exuded an ominous atmosphere at this moment, and he looked like a corpse, cold and pale.
And inside his body, there seemed to be an ominous force brewing in his body and gradually growing.
This unique and inexplicable phenomenon attracted Adil's attention.
"alienation?"
Looking at Sim lying on the bed and carefully feeling this unique transformation, Adil thought of a situation.
There are real demons and demons in this world. On this continent, there are often legends of demons circulating, and they are widely spread throughout the world.
What some demon species like to do most is to seduce the intelligent life on the earth to make them corrupt, and eventually their entire body and mind will be transformed into another existence.
The changes that happened to Him in front of him were very similar to this transformation.
Before Adier could finish thinking, a change was taking place before his eyes.
A sharp sound of bat screaming came from the outside world.
Under Adil's gaze, in the distant courtyard, several huge bats were flying in from outside, emitting bursts of screams.
As the screams continued to sound, in the room, Shim, who was originally lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with indifference.
