Standing there, watching the butler's hurried figure gradually moving away in the distance, Adil rubbed his brows, still a little surprised.
A few days ago, the president of the Thorn Chamber of Commerce personally came to ask Adier to send someone to a bandit group to get his daughter back.
This was originally just a trivial matter, but for the sake of the other party's understanding, Adier agreed, but unexpectedly something unexpected happened.
"A small gang of robbers, faced with the Sheriff sent by Tam, not only dares to refuse my request, but also dares to kill the Sheriff sent by my city?"
Thinking about the information and situation reported by the butler just now, Adil frowned: "Are all the bandits of this generation around here so ferocious?"
Frowning, realizing the surprise, Adil pondered for a while, then walked out and asked the butler to give his orders before getting ready to go out.
Although it is just a small thing, since he has agreed, Adil will try his best not to do it.
What's more, the other party's brazen killing of the police officer he sent meant that it was a provocation to him, and it would probably not be appropriate if he didn't respond.
He quietly walked out of the hall, and after a while, Adil walked to a courtyard outside the door.
At this time, a long period of time has passed, and winter is about to pass. The sun is warm outside, spreading layers of twilight, illuminating the whole world brightly.
Walking quietly among them, Adil walked silently.
After a while, he walked to a spacious venue.
The site is paved with some fine sand and broken stones, and looks very flat. At the moment, some people are busy sweating on it.
Some big men with bare upper bodies and sweat all over their bodies were doing some training. They were led by a few big men who looked a little clumsy in their hands and feet, but had a very tough temperament, doing some movements.
Looking at this scene, Adil nodded slightly.
These big men in front of him are the "followers" that Adier gathered during the previous period.
The vast majority of these followers come from bandits and thieves groups, and the vast majority of them have not received special combat training. In terms of actual combat ability, they are far inferior to specially trained soldiers.
Now that these people have been taken in, Adier simply put them to use and invited a few veterans who had been on the battlefield to specially train these people.
Although it hasn't been effective for a long time, it at least makes these people look more reliable.
At the same time, because daily training consumes a lot of energy, it also prevents these people from causing trouble and causing Adil trouble in vain.
Standing there quietly, they seemed to have seen Adil's arrival in the distance. The group of people began to get excited, and each of them looked serious and focused. No matter how tired their bodies were, they were desperately trying to straighten their chests at this moment.
In order to show off more in front of Adier.
Unfortunately, to the disappointment of these people, Adil only watched from a distance and had no intention of personally observing these people's training, which made these people feel a little disappointed.
After walking on the road and seeing most of the scenery in the entire manor, Adier hesitated and continued walking to another place.
In a somewhat gloomy flat land, some straw is piled here, and some figures are lying on it.
Under the leadership of his attendants, Adil walked into this place and then looked around.
There were corpses everywhere in front of me. On the straw piles around them, corpses with pale and disgusting faces were lying quietly there. Everyone looked extremely pale, and most of their faces looked ferocious.
Among them, some of the corpses had begun to rot, and the corpses were covered with disgusting flies. As people around them continued to move around, they swayed from time to time, making them look extremely unappetizing.
"Lord Baron, this is the body of Sir Him."
Slowly walking to a pile of straw, a middle-aged attendant wearing a robe and a respectful look on his face said to Adier, and then he gently turned aside to reveal his position to Adier.
Adil stepped forward and looked at the corpse.
On a pile of dry and hard straw, Shim's cold body lay quietly on it. The skin all over his body was already turning blue, and it looked like it would start to rot soon.
He was still wearing the black robe that Adier saw that night, and the ring on his finger was still there, but his face became extremely ferocious, and there were several wounds on his body that were deep enough to show the bones.
Among the several wounds, the most eye-catching one was the one on his chest, which directly penetrated his entire chest and could directly see the space on the other side.
"The heart is missing"
At the first glance, Adil noticed this, couldn't help but murmured to himself, and slowly lowered his hand.
Wow
The moment his arm was lowered, under an instinct, a bit of pure life energy sublimated and was directly injected into Shim's body, competing with some kind of power that existed faintly in his body.
The two forces were fighting against each other, and feeling the little bit of aura left in them, Adil came up with this idea.
Although the remaining amount is not large, the essence of this fighting spirit is extremely high. According to Adil's induction, it is not inferior to Adil himself.
In other words, the person who killed Him was at least a Silver Knight.
However, there are not many Silver Knights in Tam City, and most of them have no motive to attack Him.
This is the reason why Gruul mistook Adil as the murderer, because except for his sufficient motive, the others had no reason to take action.
"There is a little shadow power hidden in the fighting spirit, but it is hidden very well. As long as someone who is not close to the peak of the Silver Knight appears next to the corpse, it will not be discovered at all."
Putting a hand on the corpse and feeling the situation inside the corpse, Adil thought thoughtfully: "On the surface it is the knight's fighting spirit, but in fact it is some kind of unique shadow power."
"In addition, the blood energy that originally existed in this corpse seems to have disappeared."
After carefully examining the body, Adil also discovered something.
The body structure of vampires is different from that of ordinary people.
Not only do they have a unique heart structure, but their blood also contains unique blood energy, which is the source of vampire power and will not disappear even if they die.
But at this moment, not only was there no blood core found in Shim, but he also didn't see the slightest bit of blood energy power. He was just like an ordinary person, with nothing wrong with him at all.
But this situation itself is the biggest drawback.
That night, Adil saw clearly that Shim had already transformed into a vampire. Although the transformation time may not be long, the transformation itself had already begun, and naturally he could no longer be the same as an ordinary person.
But at this moment, Sim's body didn't have any vampire aura on it. It looked like a corpse.
"interesting"
With a casual smile, Adil lowered his head and looked carefully at the hole in the center of the corpse.
"The location of this blow is exactly where the heart is. It not only directly shattered the entire heart, but also caused the heart core hidden in it to disappear."
"As for the blood energy all over the body, it was probably drained away."
After careful inspection for a while, the fog in Adier's heart gradually became clear.
Although the corpse in front of you looks normal, if you examine it carefully, you can still find a lot of unreasonable things.
Except for a few details such as the heart and the blood energy in the body, although Shim's body looked intact, in fact the entire body had been shattered. Some of the things that were different from ordinary people could not be found without careful inspection.
find.
However, facing such a small nobleman from a down-and-out family, not many powerful knights were willing to take action and examine him carefully.
Even Adil would probably not have noticed these details at this moment unless he knew something was wrong in advance.
“What a hassle”
Gently picking up a layer of white cloth and covering Shim's entire body, Adil shook his head secretly, still with some doubts in his mind.
"The person who killed Shim must be a being whose power is close to the peak of Silver. There may not be many such existences even in the entire city of Tam. If you look for it slowly, you will find it one day."
Walking out of the flat land where the corpses were placed, Adil stood up and walked out, preparing to go to the next place.
As Gruul walked out of the palace in the past few days, after that, with the intervention of this prince, Adil inherited the title of the Bakuru family and became the leader of the new generation of Bakulu family.
And tonight is the day when Gruul holds a banquet to celebrate him.
Adil didn't really like this kind of occasion, but he didn't really dislike it either. He still had to give some respect to Gruul's invitation.
That night.
Tam City South Street, in a luxurious manor.
Flowers are blooming everywhere, and in place, the shining lights will shine brightly everywhere, looking very beautiful, shining the flames on the ground.
Around the manor, brightly dressed guests came slowly from the outside with their female companions. When they saw the scene in the center of the manor, they couldn't help but show a little envy on their faces.
Unlike other places, in the center of the manor, the place seemed particularly empty.
On the central stage, beautiful girls with beautiful faces and gorgeous decorations danced on it. Under the stage, Grohl looked at the guests with a smile on his face and spoke loudly.
"This person is the host of tonight's banquet, Baron Yasuo, who has saved my life many times in the south."
He put a hand on Adil's shoulder and showed the most sincere smile on his face: "Once, when the southern fortress fell, I almost thought I was going to die like this, dying as a dishonorable loser.
Die in a land that does not belong to my hometown."
"But at this time, it was the appearance of Yasuo that gave me hope again!"
"He is brave, he is strong, and he is loyal! With the sword in his hand, he protects me all the way to the end, back to this land I love!"
"Here, let us drink to this brave knight!"
He put one hand on Adil's shoulder and held the wine glass high in the other hand. With a strong smile on his face at this moment, he drank all the strong wine in the glass in one gulp.
"cheers!"
"Here's to Baron Yasuo!"
Laughs of good-natured laughter came from all around, with smiles on the faces of the nobles, and matched with the candlelight in the distance, this moment seemed extremely harmonious.
Standing in the center of the stage, watching the scene quietly, Adil felt a little bored.
Over the years, he has been exposed to too many similar situations, and he doesn't find them any fun at all.
However, even though he was bored, on this occasion, he still reluctantly raised his glass and watched everyone around him drink it down, causing a burst of cheers from around him.
When the busiest moment was over, Adier was about to retreat to a corner, when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps in the distance.
