Adier's face froze, and this guess was a bit unexpected.
"Yes, artifact"
Mal's face was also a little solemn. She turned around and looked at the Wind Nest Tavern not far away, with some palpitations in her eyes: "In that tavern, I felt the powerful suppression of divine power, and a mighty will. Absolutely
Belongs to God”
"That will is still sleeping, but just a little bit of majesty leaked out, making the power of destiny in my control unable to move and unable to see anything."
Having said this, a wry smile appeared on her face, and then she said: "This tavern is probably also an arrangement of a god. If possible, try to have as little contact with this tavern as possible in the future."
"I understand." Adil's frown eased, and he looked at Mal and nodded, expressing his understanding.
Before leaving, he took one last look at the tavern in the distance, and then left with Mal, walking in the direction he came from.
Time passed bit by bit, in silence, and soon more than half a month passed.
One morning, Adil had just gotten up and was about to pick up his sword and go out to practice, when he received news from the palace.
"Is this the news from Prince Gruul?"
Looking at the attendant in front of him, Adier had a surprised expression on his face.
"Yes."
In front of me, a young attendant was half-kneeling. He looked at Adil respectfully and said, "This is a letter written by Prince Gruul himself last night. He personally told me to hand over this letter."
Into your hands."
Hearing this, Adil nodded and without saying anything else, directly opened the letter wrapped in oil paper in front of the attendant, and then read it.
"The battle in the south has started again. Two days ago, I received news from the Carlo area in the south. Duke Neisser has gone on an expedition and is coming north."
"My friend, a big battle is likely to break out in the near future, and there may also be some affairs in the palace. Please be careful."
"In addition, your sister seems to want to see you recently. If you are free in the near future, please come to the palace to meet her."
"Your friend, Gruul"
Looking at the letter, Adil was silent. After a while, he raised his head, looked at the attendant in front of him, and said casually: "What did Prince Gruul mean when he handed the letter to you?"
Time, what is he doing?"
"Time?" After listening to Adil's words, the attendant was a little surprised, but he still recalled it carefully, and then said: "It was about evening near early morning, and His Highness was in the study at that time."
"That's it." Adier nodded, indicating that he understood, and then pretended to ask something else unintentionally.
It wasn't until a while later that he stood up and sent the attendant away in person, which made the attendant in front of him feel flattered.
After sending the attendant out of the door, Adil fell into deep thought as he looked at the attendant leaving in the distance.
"Gruul"
In his heart, he murmured, and a strange feeling of uneasiness emerged in his heart.
"The writing on the envelope has the unique secret language format of the Bakuru family, but after deciphering it with the secret language, nothing can be deciphered. Gruul, what do you want to tell me?"
Recalling what was written in the letter, Adil frowned.
The so-called secret language is a language format specially chosen by nobles to keep secrets. Each noble family often has a specific set, which can only be understood by the core members of the family.
The body Adil occupies is also a noble with a long history, and there is also a simple set of secret words in the family.
As the son-in-law of the Bakuru family, with a relative in the body of Adil beside him, it is not surprising that Gruul knew this secret language.
Adil discovered traces of this secret language in the letter sent by Gruul.
However, after using secret words to decipher it, the complete content could not be deciphered.
This unique situation made Adil frown and feel a little strange.
For a long time, Adil's grasp of timing had made him somewhat alert, and he vaguely felt that something had changed around him.
"who!!"
The next moment, he turned around suddenly, the long sword on his waist was suddenly unsheathed, and he slashed downwards with the sword.
The silver long sword roared forward, and the huge silver sword energy pressed downwards, unconsciously driving the huge elemental particles around to exert downward pressure, making bursts of roars in the mid-air, making people's ears ring and dizzy.
Under this sword, the person hiding in a corner could no longer hide and was directly revealed.
A little girl suddenly appeared from the corner, wearing a patched and tattered robe. She looked dirty and she looked like a little beggar.
She hurriedly ran out of the corner, with anxiety and fear on her face. She stared blankly at Adier's sword, her mouth slightly opened, and she was about to shout loudly.
ah!!!
An astonishing shout suddenly sounded from the spot.
With a popping sound, the little girl sat directly on the ground, her little face was a little dull, and her face was full of fear.
It wasn't until a while later that she realized what she was doing and raised her hands blankly: "I'm not dead?"
"Not only am I not dead, but I am alive and well." A voice came from the front.
Looking at the little girl lying on the ground, Adil put away his sword and walked forward quietly. Although his face was calm, his eyes were a little surprised: "What are you doing here?"
“And it’s still the same outfit.”
Only then did the little girl react. She breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Adier in front of her a little angry: "Is it fun to scare people? You're so good, why are you scaring me!!"
"I didn't scare you."
Adil shook his head calmly, then stretched out his right hand and pointed in the distance.
Following the direction he pointed, the little girl looked into the distance.
I saw a figure lying there quietly in the far corner.
It was a figure in a black robe, looking like an adult woman, but covered with black hair, with a ferocious and terrifying face, as stiff as a long-dead corpse, with a putrid smell.
And on the figure's chest, a sharp sword mark was clearly visible on it, almost splitting it in half.
"monster"
Seeing the figure in the distance, the little girl's face suddenly turned pale, and her eyes showed deep fear and anxiety.
"You have been here for a total of ten minutes since you first arrived. During this period, this thing has been following you. It's just because of my presence that it didn't attack you."
Adil turned around and looked at the little girl in front of him, speechless: "Since you are already here, why did you hide there for so long?"
"Aren't I afraid that you won't be able to defeat this monster?"
Hearing what Adier said, the little girl said hesitantly, and then seemed to remember something, with a look of disappointment on her face: "This monster is very powerful, even if it is a Silver Knight, it may not be an opponent."
"So, you are worried that I am no match, so you want to lure this monster away and then come to me again?"
After hearing what the little girl said, Adil shook his head and did not continue to delve deeper into this topic. Instead, he said, "Tell me, what is going on?"
"How did you, a good trainee priest, end up like this?"
The little girl in front of him turned out to be a trainee priest whom Adier had met several times before. Her name was Qidi.
When they first met, the girl had a bad attitude because Adier took action against the Dark Priest. However, as time passed, as Adier's relationship with the Dark Church deepened, the impressions between the two parties also softened.
"Sister Hilna asked me to come to you."
Looking at Adier in front of her, Kitty looked a little disappointed, with a hint of fear in her eyes: "Something happened to the church, and no one can get out."
"In order to solve this matter, Sister Sirna asked me to sneak out and come to you."
As she spoke, she took out one thing from her arms and carefully placed it on Adil's hand: "This is the letter that Sister Hilna asked me to give to you. She said that you will understand it as long as you see it.
"
As she spoke, a bit of scarlet flashed in her eyes, like a scarlet gem, with a little bit of strange brilliance.
This strangeness comes and goes very quickly, almost happening in a thousandth of a second, and it is difficult for ordinary people, even powerful knights, to detect it.
"After sending the letter, I should find a way to go back."
Handing the letter to Adier in front of her, Kitty secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then shuffled her steps and started running into the distance, apparently preparing to deliver the letter to the next place.
Standing behind him, Adier quietly watched the girl leave, his expression not changing much from the beginning to the end.
A sharp light flashed across his eyes, accompanied by bursts of whistling sounds.
Ahead, Kitty stopped, slowly lowered her head, and looked at her chest.
Suddenly, a silver sword penetrated her chest and came out directly from his chest.
A little bit of blood was flowing, but Kitty had no expression on her face. She just turned around quietly and glanced at Adil: "How did you find out?"
"There's something wrong with the breath." Adil's voice came from behind.
He walked in expressionlessly and looked at the little girl-like thing in front of him: "Besides, I'm just trying."
"If I kill you by mistake, there will be a way to save you."
"How cruel." Kitty opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she was unable to say anything.
Because on the long sword, a bit of pure life energy was rippling, and the power contained in it completely exploded, directly destroying all her internal organs.
Huge fighting spirit rippled in place, and after a moment, Kitty's appearance suddenly changed in front of her.
