"Calculating the time, it has been more than a year since I left the academy. ”

Standing in place, silently calculating the time, Adiel's face was calm: "I don't know what the current situation of the academy is. ”

Before he left, the Uraldo Academy was negotiating with several other wizarding organizations to develop the secret realm together, and now that more than a year has passed, there should have been preliminary results.

"According to the news from the last inquiry, the secret realm has begun to open, and now that so much time has passed, I don't know how far it has progressed. Adil thought to himself

When he was in the Ancient Armor City, Adil would occasionally leave to exchange some resources at a distant resource point, and find out some news along the way. But then because I focused on the bloodline experiment, I haven't been out for a long time.

The last time I went to inquire about the news, it has been at least half a year since now.

According to what Adil learned when he inquired about the news last time, the secret realm has undoubtedly begun to open, and even various academies have made many important achievements, and from time to time there are remnants of ancient wizards unearthed, which makes a large number of wizards around them can't help but be moved and want to participate in the exploration of the secret realm.

Counting the time, and then counting the distance from the ancient Modo Kingdom to the southern plains, this news was at least a year ago, and I don't know what the situation will become now.

"I guess it's still in development. ”

Standing in place, silently cleaning out some of the things in the laboratory, the thought flashed through Adiel's mind.

According to what Mentor Edith told him before leaving the Academy, although this secret realm is only a small secret realm, it originated in the last years of the Glorious Age, and there are many remnants of ancient wizards in it.

The things left behind by the ancient wizards are not so easy to obtain, and there are definitely many powerful witch arrays and traps in them, which are difficult for the current wizards to solve. Otherwise, the various academies would not have ordered other wizards to enter the secret realm.

"In any case, the promotion of the third-class apprentice can no longer wait, and he must rush back to the academy as soon as possible. ”

Standing in place, Adil muttered to himself, "It will take at least a few months to travel from Ancient Armor City to the Academy. This period of time is just enough for me to strengthen the spiritual sea, and when the academy prepares the corresponding resources, I can start promoting immediately. ”

"But until then, something in the city has to be taken care of. ”

Thinking of this, he put down what he was holding and walked out of the gloomy laboratory.

As soon as he walked out of the laboratory, the sunlight from the outside shone on his face, making him slightly uncomfortable.

He stood silently in place for a while, and only after he had fully adapted to it did Adil walk outside.

After a long experiment, he did not rush to leave, but first rested for a few days before starting to dispose of what he had left behind one by one.

The first are the orcs who act as test subjects.

After such a long time, the number of orcs in the manor has accumulated to hundreds, all of whom have successfully survived Adiel's experiments.

Not only were these orcs far stronger than the others, but there were also several bloodthirsty orcs among them, as well as a terrifying orc with a body of seven or eight meters tall and a hint of silver on its skin.

It was the first bloodthirsty orc created by Adil's men, and in the past six months, Adil had tried to integrate some of the purified blood of Bronze Beamon into his body.

Although it seems that because of the lack of blood injected, this bloodthirsty orc has not completely transformed into Beamon, but at least while maintaining his sanity, he has seventy or eighty percent of the strength of the original Bronze Beamon.

As long as this kind of strength does not cause many apprentices to encircle and suppress it, it will basically not encounter any danger.

After Adil left, these hundreds of orcs were equivalent to losing control, and naturally they couldn't easily stay in the city.

Therefore, he directly transferred these hundreds of orcs outside the city and let them go into the depths of the mountain range to survive on their own.

After dealing with these orcs, it will be much easier to arrange other things.

In the past year or so, the few people who followed him at the beginning have basically been resettled, have land and a stable life, and there is no need for him to deal with it anymore.

Edel had also become a great knight at this time, with the title of baron and some land given by Adil, he had already started a family in the ancient armored city, and he also did not need Adil to help settle it.

He left his estate in the care of his aged butler, Bagru, and asked Kosis and a few of his acquaintances to take care of it, and then packed up some things, took a few horses, and prepared to leave the city.

In the early morning, the sun spreads on the earth.

In the ancient paths, Adil walked alone in the wilderness, with no sign but two black horses beside him.

He left this time without telling anyone, and rode out of the city without letting anyone send him.

Compared with the team of dozens of people when he came here, this time Adil left only him, walking alone in the deserted wilderness, and his thin figure looked a little desolate.

Coming to a fork, he looked at the map in his hand and walked in a certain direction.

More than two months later.

Because he was traveling alone, and there was no one else to drag him down, Adil was very fast, and at this time he had already left the eastern part of the ancient Modo kingdom and was about to reach the Duchy of Allen.

Occasionally, some beasts will be encountered along the way, but they are not a threat to Adiel. Half a month later, a city is shaky.

Riding on his horse, watching the increasing number of pedestrians around him, Adil took out the yellowed map from his bosom and began to check the surrounding cities.

After observing it for a while, he put the map back and headed straight down another path.

He rode his horse for several hours, and in a moment he came to a swamp.

There was a thick mist slowly rising around him, with a faint fluctuation of mana.

Feeling this, Adil dismounted directly, tied the two horses around, and then walked towards the depths of the swamp.

Walking to the swamp, Adil paused, and the mana fluctuations on his body spread out directly.

The next moment, the surrounding vision began to change.

After feeling the mana fluctuations on Adier's body, the surrounding fog began to melt continuously, automatically revealing the sight behind him.

When the fog cleared, Adil looked ahead again.

On the original swamp, a stone-paved road was ahead, and it was clearly revealed.

Looking at this road, Adil did not hesitate, and walked up directly.

After ten minutes, the stone-paved road began to disappear, and the front began to turn into land.

And not far away, a bazaar appeared ahead.

"Hello, this is a market managed by the Simi family, please remember to keep it orderly. ”

Walking to the entrance of the market, a voice came from the side.

Following the voice, Adil looked to the side, where a small figure was crouching quietly.

It was a gray kitten with a body length of an adult's forearm, lying quietly on a stone slab at this time, looking at Adil with a pair of gray eyes.

"Uh, hello. ”

Looking at the cat at his feet, Adil was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

He directly half-squatted down and looked at the kitten in front of him: "Are you the guardian here?"

"No, no, no, I'm not a Guardian. ”

Hearing Adiel's words, the kitten stood up a little lazily and looked very cute: "I just accepted the employment of the Simi family and was in charge of guarding the door here." ”

Standing in front of the kitten, listening to its words, Adil didn't dare to underestimate the other party at all.

Under the detection of the chip, there is a powerful high-energy radiation on the other party's body, and its degree can already be compared with that of a third-class apprentice.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke again: "Where can I find out the latest news here?"

As he spoke, he took out a magic stone and handed it directly to the front.

Looking at the magic stone, the kitten's eyes lit up, and he directly bit the magic stone down.

"Yes, you're so much more generous than those who look gloomy, and you won't even give me a little cat food. ”

Looking at Adier, chewing on the magic stone in his mouth, the kitten complained.

"If you want to know any news, just ask me directly, at least I'm the first to know a lot of news here. After chewing the magic stone in his mouth, the kitten looked at Adil Dao.

"I want to know something about the Secret Realm. ”

Standing in place, Adil showed a smile on his face: "I heard that there is a secret realm of the glorious era in the area of the Southern Continent, I don't know what the situation is now." ”

This question is quite ordinary.

Now that the news of the secret realm has spread everywhere, and wizards in many places already know about it, it doesn't seem strange to ask this question at all.

However, listening to Adiel's question, the kitten glanced at him and looked at him with some strange eyes: "Your news is outdated, and that secret realm is now closed." ”

"Closed?" Hearing the news, Adil was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but ask: "Why is it closed? Now it's only been almost two years since that secret realm was discovered..."

According to common sense, it takes at least five or six years for a wizard's secret realm, even if it is small, to explore it cleanly.

Not to mention that the secret realm that appeared this time was still from the Glorious Era, and there were many witch arrays arranged by ancient wizards in the secret realm, and it would only take longer to thoroughly analyze it.

"Who knows..."

Looking at Adiel, the kitten continued to lie down: "Maybe it's because something terrible has been found, or maybe there is something else, who knows?"

Hearing this, Adil thought thoughtfully: "So, do you know how the few academies involved in the development of the secret realm are doing now?"

As he spoke, he continued to take out two magic stones and placed them quietly in front of the kitten.

"I don't know, I've heard that I've suffered a lot of damage. ”

Looking at the magic stone in front of him, the kitten took a bite directly, chewed it in his mouth, and said: "The wizarding organizations that participated in the development of the secret realm are basically about to close the courtyard now, and I don't know what they encountered." ”
