Chapter 25: At Night
In the quiet building, seeing Adier's appearance, the three of them glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
I have to say that Adiel's appearance has a strong deceptive and affinity, even if they know that the person in front of them has the power to fight with the terrifying insects and beasts, but the original anxiety and tension in their hearts have eased a lot.
One of the middle-aged men, who looked the oldest, stood up, looked at Adil and said respectfully, "Hello! We are from this neighborhood, may I ask who you are?"
He asked cautiously, acting cautiously, for fear of angering the young man in front of him.
As he spoke, the other two were quiet, just looking at Adil in front of him quietly, with a little expectation in their eyes.
Since the end of the world, all kinds of monsters have emerged one after another, causing heavy losses to the inhabitants of the original kingdoms.
And a powerful warrior like Adil who could fight that terrifying monster with his bare hands, they had only seen this one until now.
If you can get in touch with each other and build a good relationship, you will definitely have a much better life in the future.
Listening to their words, in their surprised eyes, Adil did not reply, but just shook his head.
He didn't understand what the other party said.
The language barrier, which is the biggest problem, is impossible to hide.
Looking at the puzzled and nervous expressions of the three people opposite, Adil didn't have any intention to hide it, and said a few words directly.
The strange language entered his ears, and the other party immediately understood the reason, and his face showed a look of surprise.
"It's not the language here, it's people from other kingdoms?" said the middle-aged man who spoke earlier.
"It's possible that they were sent here three years ago to study abroad. ”
Standing here, a thin young man behind him also spoke with some surprise: "I remember that three years ago, a group of noble descendants from foreign kingdoms came to us to prepare to study abroad, and this may be one of them. ”
"This kid should be a powerful knight, I heard that there is a powerful knight order in the distant kingdom of Alidu, and many people were also sent to us three years ago."
Among the three, another woman also spoke, and her eyes flashed with light as she looked at Adiel.
"The so-called knights can't even stop the muskets, let alone fight the insects and beasts head-on. ”
The young man on the side shook his head and said.
"Stop talking!" came a slight scolding from the front.
The middle-aged man who was talking to Adil before saw the two whispering behind him, and quickly glared at them.
As the eldest person here, he had much more experience than the two behind him, and he knew what to do now.
The kid on the other side has terrifying combat power, and his past identity must be extremely remarkable, and he may not be able to get used to their actions.
And in the case of different languages, they whisper there, which only strengthens the vigilance of the other party.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man slowly withdrew back, pulled up a dagger in his arms without hesitation, and then knelt down on one knee, picked up the dagger in his hand, and placed it in front of Adier.
Looking at the other party's move, Adil was a little surprised.
The other party's actions are like some kind of etiquette in this world, and the meaning to be expressed is also obvious.
Kneeling down on one knee and handing over the weapon on your body, no matter what world you are in, all you want to express is the meaning of respect and surrender, to show that you are harmless.
Thinking of this, Adil couldn't help but have some appreciation in his heart, and slowly stretched out his left hand, picked up the dagger that the other party had brought over, and put it on his waist.
This kind of action seemed to represent some kind of meaning, and the moment they saw Adil pick up the dagger, the three people on the opposite side breathed a faint sigh of relief.
The scene was silent for a while, and several people stood in place for a long time, waiting until the sky outside was completely dark before they began to move.
"It's nighttime outside, shall we continue going up?"
Of the three, the young man broke the silence and spoke in a low voice.
"Can't go up again. The middle-aged man shook his head: "In a certain room above, it is said that there is a certain monster locked inside, if we go up together, there will probably be strange things happen at night." ”
"There is the smell of that monster in this building, ordinary monsters don't dare to come here, let's spend the night here, and we can leave directly tomorrow. ”
Hearing this, the other two nodded silently, without any extra opinions.
I don't know what I thought, the middle-aged man sighed silently, and when he turned to look at the stairs in the distance, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
As they spoke, Adil silently walked to a corner and closed his eyes.
In his mind, the chip was quickly parsing the language of the three people opposite.
However, because it has just come into contact with it, and the basic data is too little, even if Adil allocates all the computing power of the chip to this task, it is still a long time before the analysis time is completed.
After a while, under Adier's gaze, the middle-aged man on the opposite side slowly walked towards him, holding a small piece of air-dried meat in his hand.
The other party deliberately stood at a distance from Adil and stopped.
The choice of distance was also subtle, not so close as to cause alarm, but also to give Adil time to draw his sword easily.
Standing there, the other party first carefully tore off a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, and then held the air-dried meat in his hand in front of Adil.
Seeing this kind of action, Adil nodded slightly, did not make superfluous movements, and directly took the things in the other party's hand.
"The target food is non-toxic and can be eaten. A mechanical voice sounded in his head, prompting Adiel.
Adil didn't hesitate and tried to eat the piece of meat in his hand slowly.
··········
Time passed little by little, and as the night gradually passed halfway, a unique sensation woke Adil awake.
"An unknown force field has been detected!" In his head, the voice of the machine kept ringing
This is a program that has been set up for a long time, and as soon as there is the slightest abnormality around him, it will wake him up immediately.
In one night, Adil had been awakened several times, each time in a thrilling way.
But this time, things seem to be different.
Adil stood up quietly, and silently pulled up the long sword at his waist with his right hand.
He walked quietly to the door and looked out through the crack in the door.
A dim light lit up silently on the other side of the door, and there was boundless darkness around it.
Before Adil could react to what this was, his heart burst into flames, and an inexplicable palpitation enveloped his heart.
"It's... What are the eyes?"
The thought flashed through his mind, and he stared at the door with a calm face, looking out through the gap.
There, those strange eyes remained, with a light of hatred and madness.
