Chapter 390: Ruins
"It turned out to be something like this. ”
Sitting on the couch in a spacious room, Adil flipped through a few books in his hand, and then his face became a little strange.
At this time, some time has passed since the day Leon came to the door.
After agreeing to the other party's conditions, within a few days, the fog outside began to dissipate, and then the family of Adiel's body was properly settled.
Corral took his appointment and went to be his sheriff with joy, achieving a great counterattack in life, suddenly changing from the lowest-ranking police officer to the highest sergeant, which made countless of his old friends in the past stunned.
Tilly was similar, and after depositing the huge sum of money he had received in the bank, Leon had arranged for her to attend the best aristocratic private academy in the area.
As for Adier, at his own request, he entered the largest local library, where he constantly flipped through various materials.
Every day, under Leon's orders and looting, many new books are sent in, including some of the deep secrets of this world, as well as the study of curses and psychics.
"The so-called psychic turned out to be such a thing. ”
Gently closing the book in his hand, Adil shook his head, his face a little disappointed.
The transcendent system of this world is unique, and seems to have been created entirely for curses.
In many countries around the world, there are many paranormal events that break out every day, and these events are classified as curses, and they are classified according to their power.
As for the main force in this world against the curse, the so-called psychic, it also made Adil feel a little disappointed.
The psychics of this world mainly rely on the power of the bloodline, but where the psychic is a psychic, the ancestor must be an awakened person, so compared to ordinary people, the blood more or less inherits part of the power of the awakened, which is the so-called spiritual power.
Through secret methods, you can continue to nourish the spiritual power in your body, and when the spiritual power in your body is strong to a certain extent, you can find some special cursed things, and then use your own spiritual power to surrender the curse, you can obtain part of the power of the cursed things, and become a powerful psychic.
This is where the psychics of this world come from, and it is also the reason for Adiel's disappointment.
"The so-called spiritual power is the power transmitted from the bloodline from the source, and ordinary people can't get it through learning at all. ”
"Those so-called psychics rely entirely on the power of external objects, and if they want to become stronger, they can only constantly look for stronger cursed things to replace, which has no learning value at all. ”
Shaking his head, thinking about the information in his mind, Adil was a little disappointed.
This unique transcendent system is completely dependent on fate, whether a person can become a powerful psychic or not depends entirely on his own bloodline and the cursed things in his hands, and there is not much worth learning at all.
Strictly speaking, although wizards and knights are also given fate, at least there are qualification requirements in the early stage, but wizards and knights at least have a complete system, as long as the conditions are sufficient, they can go all the way to the peak, which is much better than the complete fate-watching system of psychic.
The psychic's own bloodline has a limit, and no matter how strong and nourished the spiritual power in the body is, it will not be stronger than the first generation of awakened people in the end. As for cursed things, they are even rarer, and they can only be born in curses, which are not only scarce in quantity, but also extremely difficult to obtain.
This restricts the quality and quantity of psychics in this world, and they can only hover at one level at all, and there is no way to break through a certain level.
"But in this case, it makes sense that Leon cares so much about me, the Awakened. ”
Silently standing up from the spot and looking at the sunlight outside the room, Adil silently raised his head.
Obviously, some of Adil's previous manifestations are, in the eyes of some people in this world, manifestations of the Awakened.
Only the first generation of awakened people who are born can fight against the curse without relying on the cursed thing, and only rely on their own strength.
"It's kind of crooked. ”
Thinking of this, he didn't have much to say.
Bang bang bang
At this moment, a slight knock came from outside the door, and along with the knock on the door, there was a soft, soft voice of the girl.
"Mr. Sim, the Governor of Lyon invites you to come. ”
"Tell the Governor that I'll be there shortly. Turning around slightly, Adil was not surprised to hear this.
After walking around for a while, he put down a few books neatly, then straightened his clothes and walked out.
There were servants and maids walking around the corridors along the road, and when they saw Adier, they all lowered their heads slightly, for fear of attracting his attention.
He didn't walk long, and after a few minutes, he came to a spacious living room.
In the living room, Leon was wearing a black trench coat, his face was very serious at this time, and he was seriously talking about something with a middle-aged man next to him.
In the words of conversation, through his keen mental power, Adil captured something that seemed to be related to the forbidden land and the curse.
"Sim, you're here. ”
Seeing Adil walk in from the outside, Sim and the two stopped talking and looked at him kindly, looking very easy to get along with.
"Come, let me introduce you, this is Baron Venus, you can call him Mr. Venus. ”
He looked at the middle-aged man standing beside him and enthusiastically introduced to Adier.
"Hello, Sim. ”
Venus looked at Adil with a stiff smile on her face, as if she wanted to remember his face.
He looked to be about forty years old, dressed in a red robe, with a stiff expression on his face, some long beard, and looked like an ordinary middle-aged man.
However, despite the appearance, Adil will not underestimate the other party.
In the other party's body, there is a unique power flowing, similar to the power in Delisa's body, but far more powerful than Delisa.
"A psychic?"
The thought crossed his mind, but on the surface, Adil smiled politely, looking like an ordinary shy boy.
"Asking you to come over this time, there is one thing I hope you can help me. ”
Looking at Adier, Leon didn't have any extra nonsense, and went straight to the point: "We are going to a place, it may be a little dangerous." ”
"To ensure safety, I hope you go with us in three days, is there a problem?"
He lowered his body and looked at Adil with a very sincere plea.
"Yes. ”
Gently skimming Venus on the side, Adil did not hesitate too much and nodded directly.
He could predict that the place that the other party was talking about was probably a cursed place again, and most of it contained terrifying curses.
However, this is also just right.
For others, and even psychics, curses are of course something that smells distorted, but for Adiel, it's still somewhat useful, at least for harvesting realm energy.
However, despite thinking so in his heart, on the surface, he still remained silent, just nodded quietly, and then turned around and walked out, with no intention of staying here at all.
"Twelve-year-old awakened people are rare. ”
In the living room at the back, watching Adil's back disappear from the realization, Venus felt a little emotional.
"When I got the news, I was surprised. Leon looked up and smiled: "It's not even a little younger, but in a way, it's an advantage. ”
"Compared to those awakened who are inexplicably hostile to us, this child is much cuter. ”
"Definitely. Hearing this, Venus nodded in agreement.
The awakening of the awakened has no law at all, and is only related to the constitution and will.
In the last few years, as the curse has become more active, some awakened people have gradually begun to appear in various kingdoms, and the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom is no exception.
However, because of the awakening, these awakened people are all unruly, relying on the power they have after awakening, and even dare to directly resist the rule of various countries, causing a lot of bloodshed for a while.
A few months ago, in the royal capital of the Purple Flower Kingdom, there was such a case of an uprising of the Awakened.
A child of a small family who had been bullied suddenly woke up, and after gaining great power, the first thing he did was to kill his family's enemy, a hereditary viscount, and not let go of any of the other party's clansmen, and then absconded directly, and no trace has been found until now.
Relatively speaking, Adiel, the awakened person, is much more satisfying, he is not from other noble families, and he is only twelve years old this year, he is still very malleable, and he will not break out and hurt people at every turn.
"By the way, what's the situation in the royal capital?"
Standing in place and chatting for a while, Leon seemed to suddenly remember something, looked at Venus on the side and asked.
"Something terrible. Venus shook his head: "Your Majesty is seriously ill, and several highnesses are fighting with each other, and they can't spare the strength to suppress the forbidden land for a while."
"It seems that we are on our own. Leon sneered on his face: "But this is also just right, save your hands and feet." ”
"There is one more piece of news. Venus showed hesitation on his face: "According to the current situation, it is not far from the next opening of Nightmare Manor, do you want to send someone in?"
"Absolutely. Leon nodded without hesitation: "Nightmare Manor, there are many cursed things produced in this forbidden place, since you have encountered it, of course you can't miss it." ”
"But then we're going to be even tighter."
The staccato words kept brushing past my ears, gradually becoming vague and slight.
Standing on the balcony, using his powerful spiritual power, and secretly listening to part of the content of Leon and Venus's agents, Adiel's face remained unchanged: "Nightmare Manor. . . It's a familiar name again. ”
Before the curse of the Sacred Grace Academy erupted, he had been in contact with Delisha once, and on that occasion an initial cooperation was reached.
At the time, he was hoping that he would be able to enter the Nightmare Manor once and take something from it.
Now it seems that what the other party wants him to take out may be a cursed thing.
"Forbidden land?"
Thinking of the legend of Nightmare Manor, he muttered, then turned and left the balcony.
At noon the next day, on the wide road, several black police cars drove along the long road into the distance.
"Are you there?"
Sitting in the front of the police car, looking at the surrounding terrain, Corral looked at the map in front of him, looked at the police officer next to him and asked.
Compared to when he was depressed in the past, Corral seems to have changed a lot. Not only did the original police officer on his body wear a black dress in the imperial city, but the whole person looked even more energetic, with a little majesty on his originally cold and gloomy face, which looked decent.
He sat in the back seat of the car looking at the terrain, and next to him sat a little boy who looked to be about ten years old.
"Lord Kolar, you're almost there. Earlier, after comparing the terrain, the police officer in charge of driving the car responded.
"Hmm. Corral nodded grimly, then turned to look at the boy on the side, his face softened slightly, "Sim, do you feel something?"
Listening to his words, the boy had a slight reaction, no longer looking out the window, and his eyes were fixed on Corral: "No. ”
"Not yet?" Corral murmured, "Looks like a little bit more." ”
Boom!
A cracking sound suddenly sounded, like a piece of explosives exploding in an instant, causing a strong sound around it.
In the sky, countless flying stones fell from the sky, carrying endless dust with them, and their target seemed to be Corral's side.
Under the horrified gaze of countless people, these flying rocks and dust fell quickly, and they were about to crash into the vehicle in front of them.
Crash
A faint ripple emerged from mid-air, and at this moment, a burst of silver brilliance filled the air, and there was a boiling reaction of energy particles in it, forming a small barrier in an instant, bounce away all the matter that was smashed here.
Twist the barrier!
This was the first spell solidified by Adiel, and it was also the first first-level spell that Adil had mastered, and at this time, he barely mobilized a little mana and recast it.
In the sky, all the dust and falling rocks disappeared, and they were instantly distorted by a huge force that came from them in an instant, and smashed directly in the direction they came, causing no damage to anyone.
Bang bang bang
Loud applause came from behind.
Behind Adier, Leon was wearing a black trench coat and clapped as he walked towards Adiel: "The reaction is very timely, otherwise this time it will be troublesome." ”
"That's what Sim is supposed to do. Looking at Leon walking behind him, Corral bowed his head slightly and said.
"It seems that there are people in here who don't welcome us in. After walking up to Corral and nodding at him, Leon walked over to Adil and looked up.
In his field of vision, there was a cloud of smoke and darkness in front of him, and black forces shrouded the surroundings, wandering and rushing into the sky from time to time, dyeing the entire sky a little black.
It's an ancient-looking ruin.
On the ground, patches of ancient buildings are still remaining, and they are densely covered with wind and sand, and they are constantly blowing there, with a low wind whistle.
