Chapter 256: Black Snake
"Are they sure?"
Standing outside a wooden house, Adil walked down the steps, looked at Thor standing in front of him and asked casually.
"Yes, it's been decided. ”
Looking at Adier, Thor had a wry smile on his face: "They said that since sooner or later you can't escape the curse, then it is better to sleep in your ancestral altar than to die in a foreign land." ”
Hearing this, Adiel's face remained unchanged and he nodded slightly.
It's also understandable why these survivors made this decision.
In the past, there was an enchantment outside the village, and these people may still have luck in their hearts, thinking that they can rely on the enchantment to survive.
But last night's scene easily woke them up with this fluke and made them have to face reality.
Without the protection of the barrier, in a few months at most, these people will be cursed to find them, and sooner or later they will die outside.
Rather than die in a foreign country like this, it is better to fight hard, and maybe there is some hope.
After all, with a powerful wizard like Adil here, maybe he can really solve the leaked seal.
On the other hand, for these people's decisions, Adil is actually not repulsed in his heart.
Immediately go to Thor's hometown, these people in front of him are also descendants of ancient wizards, pure Crassus, they know more or less things about that place, at least they can act as guides, and they are not without the slightest value.
In the same place, Adil looked at Thor and, after a few words with him, walked off into the distance, ready to return to his house to rest.
····················
Ten days later, in the early morning, in the vast wilderness, a group of people appeared, marching into the distance.
In the procession, Thor rode a black steed, his eyes constantly looking into the distance, and was patrolling around.
Because of the lack of vegetation on the black soil, the surrounding land looks desolate and invisible.
In this flat environment, where there is nothing to hide, it is difficult to hide it.
Walking at the front of the group, Thor was riding his horse when he suddenly felt a dark shadow pass in front of him.
He subconsciously followed the line of sight, and just saw a short figure with a naked upper body and dark skin running quickly from a distance.
"Is it a local native?"
Looking at the fast-running figure in the distance, the thought flashed through Thor's mind.
After a while, he turned back and walked towards the carriage behind him.
"Lord Adir, we're almost there!"
Riding on the side of the carriage, he shouted at the window of the carriage.
"Have you arrived at the place?"
Listening to the shouts outside the carriage, Adil opened his eyes and shook off the deduction data in his head.
Reaching out to pull the window open, he looked out at the scenery.
Compared to when it had just started, it had begun to be partially populated, and while it still seemed desolate to Adiel, at least some of it was already inhabited.
Even if he didn't use the chip to detect it, through the keen sensing ability of the moon elf, Adil could clearly feel that the breath of life that began to appear around here should belong to the natives living nearby.
"Huh..."
As if he had discovered an anomaly in his life, Adil was suddenly a little surprised in his heart.
In his keen senses, there seemed to be a spiritual imprint in the distance, which faintly resonated with his spiritual power, with a sense of familiarity.
It was only for a moment that Adil remembered the source of this feeling, which belonged to the old native man who had been imprinted by him at the beginning, but at this time, he sensed it again.
"Is it a coincidence, or is it?"
Adil raised his head and whispered to himself, with some inexplicable meaning in his eyes.
Before, although he was imprinted with a spirit on the other party, he didn't pay too much attention.
Being able to be perceived by him without his special attention shows that the distance between the two sides is very close at this time.
And as time passes, under Adil's induction, the distance between the two sides is constantly shortening.
"My lord, we have arrived at the place. Outside the carriage, Thor's voice suddenly came.
Listening to the voice, Adil got up and walked out of the carriage.
Outside the carriage, several people were ready, and at this time they were all standing behind Thor, quietly waiting for Adiel's orders.
Standing in place, Adil looked up and into the distance.
In the distance, a huge palace is standing, which looks very large, but it is a little old, and a sense of historical precipitation comes to the face.
Looking at this somewhat dilapidated palace, Adil felt a lot of breath, both the curse and the power of the bloodline in Thor's body.
It's just that compared to what Adil had seen before, in the palace in front of him, the two forces were unprecedentedly powerful, and each strand taken out separately could make Adil treat it cautiously.
"Let's go inside. ”
Looking at the palace in the distance, Adil was silent for a moment before speaking.
Listening to his words, everyone present nodded silently.
Being able to come here with Adier, these people present were undoubtedly mentally prepared for the worst, even Yana, who was a mother at this time, took out a purple scimitar in her hand while holding the child.
As a descendant of an ancient wizard, she is not a weak girl who is powerless, and her physical fitness is placed in ordinary people, and she can definitely easily beat a strong man.
Especially after Adil carved the bloodline mark for her, the bloodline power in her body increased again, although it was still inferior to Thor in terms of combat, but I am afraid it would not be too bad.
"Before I leave, I want to ask again. ”
Standing in the center, looking at Yana in front of him in leather armor and fully armed, Adil spoke again: "You and Sol forget it, just bring Solana in, is it really okay?"
"This ruin is dangerous, and even I can't be sure she'll be safe. ”
He looked at Thor and said calmly.
"It doesn't matter. ”
Listening to Adiel's words, Thor and Yana glanced at each other, and then couldn't help but shake their heads: "If we will die in our hometown this time, then we also hope to be able to go through this journey with our children." ”
"Moreover, in this palace, there are still some things that need to be inherited by this child. ”
Thor paused and spoke again: "We don't want the inheritance left by our ancestors to disappear completely, and we also hope that this child's future path will be smoother. ”
Hearing this, Adil did not continue to speak, but turned to look ahead, and then rode directly on a horse.
"Let's go. ”
After getting on his horse, he looked at the people around him and shouted.
The people around nodded silently, got on their horses, drove in front, and led the way for Adiel.
After walking a long distance, some figures began to appear in front of me.
It was an indigenous village, which was stationed outside the palace at this time, and several camps were built.
After seeing Adil and his party arrive, the natives were startled at first, and then quickly began to assemble.
"Who?" a voice sounded in the distance, with some coldness and some fluctuations in mental power.
In Adier's sight, in the distant village, surrounded by many natives, an old man with dark skin and a thin body was slowly walking out, followed by two other middle-aged natives.
Standing in place, when he saw this old man, the spiritual power in Adiel's body trembled slightly, resonating with the spiritual imprint he had set up.
The old man in front of him was the same native that Adil had met at the beginning, but he didn't expect to meet him in this way.
"Lord Adiel..." On the side, a voice rang out.
Beside Thor, looking at the natives who appeared in the distance, a Crassus frowned, and whispered to Adil to remind: "This is the snake witch, who has been chasing and killing us for the past few years, and is very powerful. ”
"You are..."
In the distance, the thin old man of the native walked to the front with people, and when he saw Thor beside Adier, his face suddenly changed, looking a little excited, and a little puzzled: "It's you!!"
"Get out of the way and let us in!"
In front of Adier, looking at the old man in the distance, Thor's face was indifferent, and there was no emotion in his words.
"Let you in?"
Listening to Saul's words, the indigenous old man suddenly smiled: "I was about to take the initiative to find you, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to find you." ”
"If you want to go in, of course it's fine. ”
His face gradually became indifferent, but there was some excitement in his eyes: "Lie down on the altar obediently and go and sacrifice the snake god!"
As soon as the words fell, a faint light suddenly lit up around them, causing many of the natives present to be confused for a while, and their bodies couldn't help but become more sluggish.
In the next moment, a silver force field suddenly erupted, knocking all the natives running around him into the air.
I don't know when, Adier's figure instantly appeared behind the old man, and a hand was stretched out directly.
"You!!"
Sensing the sudden appearance of a figure behind him, the old man was horrified and wanted to speak.
A strong hand directly grasped his neck, and all the words he was about to say were stuck, and the powerful force made him feel suffocated, and the original strength seemed to be gone, and his whole body was completely unable to lift his strength, and he was tightly restrained.
"Where is all this nonsense..."
lifted the other party with one hand, looking at the person in front of him, Adil was a little impatient, and the other hand was directly stretched out and placed in front of the other party's forehead.
"Originally, I wanted to experiment slowly, but now it seems that I can only be rough first. ”
This thought flashed through his heart, and under the touch of Adiel's spiritual power, the consciousness of the person in front of him was forcibly pried open by him, and he used it to search for the memories in it.
As a formal wizard, after reaching the metamorphosis period, there are special spells and techniques that can be used to observe other people's memories, but the sequelae are too big, not only the operation is complicated, but it is easy for the other party to become a fool if you are not careful, resulting in all kinds of sequelae.
However, in this situation, he was about to enter the ruins, and Adil didn't bother to spend any more money, so he simply checked the other party's memories directly.
Suddenly, under the link of spiritual power, a large number of memory fragments poured towards Adier, and together they formed a picture.
It was a huge statue of a black snake, and in front of the statue, corpses were neatly arranged, and the flesh inside was slowly evaporating into the statue below.
Without blending in a little more, the statue of the black snake looked more realistic, as if it were a living creature.
"Great serpent god, please grant your grace. An old voice rang out all around, babbling a lot of prayers.
The owner of that voice is the owner of this memory, that is, the object of Adil who is checking the memory at this time.
As the voice continued to sound, in the fragment of memory, a layer of black scales gradually appeared on the old man's body, and the strength and aura of his body seemed to have increased a lot.
"Sacrifice..."
Silently observing this scene in his memory, Adil subconsciously frowned, as if he thought of something.
Before he could think about it, a sense of extreme danger suddenly surged through his heart.
A dark space will cover the place, and in the middle of the space, a faint moonlight will light up.
It was the light that emanated from Adiel's body, which at this time dispelled the darkness and completely revealed the scene in its place.
A huge black snake appeared in front of him, just like the one he had seen in his previous memory, most of its body was made of stone, only a pair of scarlet snake eyes were very agile, and there was endless evil in it, and there was a terrifying power.
Quietly watching this scene, Adier's face remained calm, and he somewhat understood the current situation.
"In that native's memory, there is the curse body, that is, the power of this black snake, which was tricked when I just checked the other party's memory!"
Looking at the black snake in front of him, a realization rose in his heart.
Then in the next moment, wisps of black qi continued to spread, and a kind of power spread here, gradually spreading towards Adiel's body, but it was resisted by the faint moonlight shrouded in Adiel's body.
Rumble!!
A violent explosion suddenly sounded, with a terrible mental blow.
The surrounding scene began to change and became the way it first looked.
Standing in place, Adil gasped for breath and felt a sharp sense of exhaustion in his spirit.
After a moment's recovery, he looked down at the front.
At his feet, the old native man from before had turned into a corpse, and he collapsed directly from the previous mental stimulation, with the previous horrified expression on his face.
"It's still careless, if there is the protection of the jade mark this time, I'm afraid the price to pay will be more than now. ”
Shaking his head and standing in place, Adil couldn't help but be a little frightened when he thought about the scene.
The mind of the native in front of him was sealed, and whoever wanted to peek into his memory would be eaten by that seal.
There was no doubt that the seal was left by the body of the curse, and Adil didn't even notice it for a while, but almost fell into it.
If there is no accident, just now, Adil is afraid that he will pay a lot of price. It was only at the last moment that the power of the jade mark on Adier's forehead reappeared, blocking the final counterattack of the seal, so that Adil could not be injured.
"Although the process is a bit thrilling, but in this way, I can probably guess your identity······"
Standing where he was, putting the corpse in his hand down, Adil turned and muttered to himself as he looked at the ruins in front of him.
