Chapter 246: The Crassus
Standing in front of the barren black earth, listening to the story told by Thor, Adil quietly lowered his head and began to think.
The legends, while mostly absurd, are not necessarily all fabricated out of thin air. Many ancient legends may contain some truthful information.
In the case of the place in front of you, maybe in ancient times, there were really two demon kings here to fight here.
After thinking quietly for a while, Adil stopped thinking about these things, but quietly looked up into the distance, ready to continue walking.
Soon, another few days passed.
In the middle of the barren black soil, there is a small market that lives in it.
The origins of these people are complex, some are local natives, some are refugees from other kingdoms, and some are wanderers.
Fugitive soldiers, murderous criminals... There are all kinds of people here, which makes the composition of the members here seem complicated.
In a place like this, Adil thought it would be chaotic, but it turned out that it was not.
Although the market in front of me doesn't look very big, it's not chaotic inside, and although most of the people inside look abnormal, it still looks clean on the outside, and you can't even see anything like a fight.
Most of the people here had cold faces, and each of them had some weapons in their hands, and they passed by in a hurry with expressions on their faces.
There were also some slums and madmen who looked very weak, who stayed in certain fixed places, and some of whose bodies twitched as if they were suffering from some strange disease.
"There is no food to grow on this land, so what do these people rely on to survive?"
Looking at the pedestrians coming and going, Adil asked with interest.
"By producing a drink called Kuma. ”
Coming to a familiar scene and looking at the people around him, Thor's face was a little unsightly, and he was a little disgusted: "This drink can make people excited for a short time, and once you drink a bottle, you will be addicted and it will be difficult to quit." Therefore, it is very popular with those nobles from afar. ”
"Lord Adir, do you see the black hay that the natives are carrying?"
He pointed to something that the natives were carrying behind their backs and said to Adiel, "Those are the ingredients used to make Kuma, the things that grow out of the black soil. ”
"Didn't you say that you can't grow things on the black soil?"
Adil asked with some surprise.
"That means that ordinary food and medicines cannot be grown. ”
Thor replied earnestly: "This black hay is one of the few things that can be grown on the black soil, and although the yield is relatively low, it is the main raw material for making Kuma, and it can only be produced in this desert. ”
Adil nodded slightly, then looked forward, shifting to the natives.
The skin color of these natives is very similar to that of the blacks in Adiel's previous life, but they are generally shorter in stature, and they tend to be more of a different appearance in appearance.
If the two are put together, in addition to the same skin color, it can be seen at a glance that they are two varieties.
In the surrounding area, there are also some slightly better-looking indigenous women, who are constantly moving around, as if they are soliciting customers.
Looking around, Adil took a closer look.
In addition to the appearance, the languages spoken by the people around him are also different from the various languages that Adil currently masters, and it will take some time to get used to it.
After watching silently for a while, under the leadership of Thor, Adil walked to the other side.
Walking on the road, their group is very conspicuous.
Sol and Yana aside, as half of the locals here, although their appearance is different from the people here, they are not too remarkable.
But Adil is different.
After completing the bloodline transformation, his appearance became more and more handsome, even if the parts that were different from ordinary people at this time were hidden by the jade mark, but the calming aura could not hide it, making him as dazzling as the bright moon in the darkness among the group of people around him.
Moreover, he was also well dressed, and the fabrics of his black robe were all fine soft silk, and he looked like a rich nobleman.
In the surroundings, the moment they saw Adil, several people had already taken action. Among them are dancers who are obviously engaged in some kind of business, and there are also thieves who have the intention of stealing.
Of course, in addition to these, more people are still watching from a distance, but they are also paying attention to this side.
For these people, Adiel's face was calm and he did not move.
Thor on the side turned around very consciously, and with one hand, he directly grabbed a certain native who was quietly approaching Adil and threw him out.
Touch!
The sound of the body colliding with the earth came, and under the power of Thor, the native was thrown out several meters directly before falling to the ground with a violent collision sound.
"Get out!!"
After doing this, Thor's eyes instantly widened, and his upright body exuded a palpitating aura, intimidating those around him with bad intentions.
"At least a powerful knight's apprentice..."
Looking at this scene, this idea flashed in the hearts of several people around him, and some of the thoughts he originally held in his heart were suddenly dispelled.
"Is it okay to do it here?"
On the side, looking at Thor's performance, Adil asked with great interest.
"It's okay. ”
Yana, who was holding the child on the side, interjected: "As long as you don't kill people here, it doesn't matter." ”
She looked very calm, even in the face of the faint peeping eyes of the people around her, she didn't look like she felt anything, not like an ordinary girl at all.
But it's no wonder. As descendants of ancient wizards, even if the inheritance is lost, the power of the bloodline still circulates in their bodies.
Even a girl like Yana, who looks weak on the outside, is afraid that she can kill several adults on her own if she really does it, and naturally she won't take these ordinary people in front of her who are not even knight apprentices to heart.
"This place, it looks like it's just a few ordinary people. ”
Walking all the way down the street, silently observing the pedestrians around him, Adil thought silently in his heart.
Along the way, through the chip, he kept observing the pedestrians around him, but in the end he found nothing.
The people here are basically ordinary people, although some people have dense calluses on their hands, but they are just ordinary people who have practiced very well, and they have not even practiced the knight's breathing method.
As for the wizards, Adil didn't even see one, and basically couldn't sense even the faintest high-energy reaction.
It's no wonder that wizards are not big road goods after all, but extremely rare existences.
It's a strange thing that a barren land like this, where resources are scarce and even ordinary food is not self-sufficient, would be visited by wizards.
Even if Adil hadn't led the way here, most of them would have turned around and left immediately after seeing the situation in this area, and would never have wasted any time here.
As they walked around, they soon came to a place.
It was a very shabby-looking tavern, dyed black and red, and the sign at the door had a snake embroidered on it, which looked a little weird.
"Snake..."
Seeing the sign hanging in front of the tavern, thinking about the curse on the two of Thor, Adil instantly thought of something and couldn't help whispering.
"Lord Adiel, this is the only tavern here. ”
On the side, Thor looked at Adil with a respectful face and said, "If we don't want to live here, then we have to rent a few rooms from others at a high price." ”
"It doesn't matter. ”
Listening to Thor's words, Adil came back to his senses and smiled at him, "That's it." ”
As he spoke, they headed inside.
"Two rooms. ”
Walking to the tavern, Thor walked to the counter to negotiate with someone, while Adil and Yana stood in place, silently looking at the scenery inside the tavern.
As seen from the outside, the main color of the tavern is still black and red, and there are several places inside embroidered with a black snake, and it seems that the owner of this tavern has a soft spot for black snakes.
Around the tavern, some of the local natives sat around, dressed in different ways.
"Huh?"
Silently observing everything around him, Adil was suddenly a little surprised.
In the corner of the tavern, several black-skinned natives were sitting, among them a thin old man with a white beard and a strange hat, who was sitting there muttering something as if he were praying.
And what surprised Adil was not the appearance of this old man, but some traces on this old man's body.
Not a wizard or a knight, but something like that.
Although this old man looks thin and thin, his physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, and even his mental fluctuations are much stronger than ordinary people, and the fluctuations in the life of the whole person are very strong.
And under the gaze of the eyes of the moon elves, the old man's body was also shrouded in a faint black mist, a kind of radiation similar to that of a wizard, but something different was spreading from his body, and was easily seen by Adiel.
"A weak pollution force field, this old man is not an ordinary person..."
Quietly observing the thin old man with a white hat in the distance, Adil quietly analyzed, and an interest suddenly rose in his heart to study.
A power that can make people stronger, knowledge is very rare and precious.
Whether it is the meditation method of a wizard or the breathing method of a knight, it is the result of countless years of sorting by ancient wizards.
In ancient times, ancient wizards conquered many worlds, obtained different power knowledge from different worlds, and organized it into the wizard's system, so that the sorcerer was brilliant and powerful.
According to the information obtained by Adil from the Emerald World, in the heyday of the ancient wizards, there were hundreds of wizard branches, and almost every time he conquered a world with a power system, there would be several more wizard branches.
At that time, knights were also a branch of a wizard.
It's just that after a glorious end, as well as the fall of the ancient wizards, the later wizard civilization rose from the ruins, and most of the knowledge accumulated in the past has been lost, leaving only the main body and some branch knowledge such as the knight's breathing method to be excavated, improved and disseminated again.
The strength of the old man in front of him is obviously different from that of normal wizards and knights, and it is very likely that he has obtained the knowledge inheritance of some wizard branches.
Quietly, Adil attached a wisp of his spiritual power to the other party to record it.
As a first-level peak wizard, Adiel's spiritual power can only be discovered by careful observation by a wizard in the transformation stage, and it can exist for at least a few years.
After being recorded by Adil through mental power, as long as the distance is not too far, it can be felt by Adiel, so that the other party can be easily discovered.
The reason for this is also because of the time constraints that Adil is currently having.
The curse on Yana's body was less than a month away from exploding, and in such a short period of time, Adil had no time to prepare for the experiment.
Moreover, in such a desert, there is no high-precision laboratory, and even if you want to experiment with peace of mind, it is impossible to rely on the rudimentary materials that Adil carries with him.
With the curse of the ancient wizard on the horizon, Adil didn't want to be distracted too much by these extra things in this short period of time.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and when Thor returned, Adil walked up the stairs of the tavern and headed for the upper floor, led by his attendants.
It was only after they had gone that the thin old man sitting in the corner of the tavern raised his head.
"Those two just now are Crassus's people..."
He raised his head, and although his body was thin and thin, his eyes were very bright, and the shadow of a snake flashed in his eyes.
"Elder Ral, are you going to arrest them?" a voice came from the side.
Beside the thin old man, a native whispered in the native language, his black face looking cold.
"Don't be impulsive!"
The thin old man named Lal scolded in a low voice before he said, "I can feel the power in those two Crassus. ”
"That girl is okay, her body is about to be corroded by the power of the snake god, I'm afraid it will be a few days to attract the black-robed messenger with the snake body. ”
"But the man was very difficult. ”
Ral's face was solemn: "I can feel the power in the other party's body, this is definitely the core ethnic group of Crassus, even now the power of the snake body in the body has not exploded, and it has been suppressed by the other party's blood pressure." ”
"This level of Crassus, even I am not sure to take it, and I need to contact more people to be sure. ”
"Even Elder Ral isn't sure yet..."
Hearing Ral's words, several of the surrounding natives seemed to be taken aback, and there were expressions of disbelief in their eyes.
"It's more than that. ”
Ral shook his head slowly, his eyes were always clear, and he continued to speak at this time, and said in a somewhat excited tone: "Did you notice that baby?"
"Baby?" a few of the natives around were stunned.
"That baby, the blood in her body is very strong, far more than her parents, and if she grows up in the future, even I will not be an opponent. ”
An excited expression appeared on Ral's face: "This kind of Crassus bloodline with a strong bloodline, if it can be cultivated from an early age, is a good material to carry the advent of the snake god." ”
"If we can sacrifice it to the snake god, we will definitely be able to obtain the gift of the snake god!"
