Chapter 57: The Duke of Ariel
As time passed, Adil and the others continued to walk south.
After a few days, the surrounding environment was finally no longer a wilderness, and other pedestrians and caravans were gradually infested.
They followed the men along the rough road, and soon reached the Duchy of Barron, which was not far away.
At noon, at the front of the line, Adil looked into the distance.
Ahead, a city was already in sight, condensed into a dot in his sight.
In the team, the others did not have such a good sight as him, and they could not see the city in the distance, but it did not prevent them from knowing about it through various information.
As Flal, who had gone to investigate, brought the news of his imminent arrival back to the team, the atmosphere of the entire team couldn't help but become a little lighter, and the atmosphere that had been a little depressing due to the long journey was also empty.
Looking at the increasing number of pedestrians in front of them, the people in the team couldn't help but smile. Even Elvar, who had always looked decadent, stepped out of the carriage at this time, with a little smile on his face.
"After a little further walk, we were greeted by our people. ”
In the distance, Flal rode up quickly and spoke quickly to Elvar in the group.
In order to save time, more than a month ago, he sent several knights in his team to go first, to inform the people from the south to come and greet them, and at this time they were almost at the front, and were about to join them.
After a while, as the distance drew closer, Adil looked ahead.
There, a huge procession was coming towards them, numbering one or two hundred.
Leading the team in front was an old man in a black coat, riding a horse at this time, and running quickly towards Adil and his party.
A figure quickly galloped out from behind Adil.
Wearing armor and a smile on his face, Flal greeted the old man who was running quickly in front: "Vala, long time no see!"
"It's been a long time. On the other side, looking at Flal, the old man's originally calm and serious face also squeezed out a little smile.
They walked to the center of the two teams, then quickly dismounted, gave each other a hug, and only then began to arrange other things.
"I already know what happened, what about Mistress Boria's child?"
Vala looked at Flal in front of her, sighed a little, and then asked.
Speaking of Elvar, Flal's face suddenly looked a little unpleasant, and he just stood there and said, "Lord Elvar, he is still resting in the carriage behind. ”
Looking at Flal's face, Vala thought for a moment, and then gradually looked behind Flal.
His gaze was sharp, and he quickly glanced at the front of the group with a scrutinizing eye, and when he saw Adil on his horse, his eyes lit up.
"Is this one?" he asked, looking at Flal in an inquiring tone.
"That's right. Flal nodded: "His name is Adiel, he is the child of Baron Essiran and an extremely rare half-elf. ”
"Half-elf. Hearing this, Vala's eyes brightened even more, and she stared at Adil as if she were looking at a rare treasure.
Behind him, there was a middle-aged man in an aristocratic dress, who followed him at this time, and was also constantly looking at Adil in the distance, with a strong heat in his eyes.
His performance made Flal notice, and at this time he couldn't help but say, "Who is this?"
"He is from his own family in the south, and is the nephew of the Duke of Ariel. At this point, Vala came back to her senses and looked at Flal and explained.
"Hello, I'm Sidru. Behind Vala, a gentle smile appeared on the face of the middle-aged nobleman.
"It turned out to be Lord Sidru!" Looking at the middle-aged nobleman in front of him, Flal suddenly showed an expression of awe and admiration on his face: "I didn't expect Duke Ariel to send someone over this time." ”
As descendants of wizards, the Fakus clan is far more than just Count Boria.
The south is the stronghold of the Farcus family, with many branches of the Farcus family, some of which are even more powerful than those of Count Polia.
The Duke of Arrieux was the strongest of them, ruling directly over a small principality, and it was very powerful. Stronger than Count Boria, who originally ruled the Northlands.
"No way. Listening to Flal's words, Sidru had a wry smile on his face: "The blood of the ancestors, which has been passed down to the present, has become thinner and thinner. In the last hundred years, there have been fewer and fewer qualified people in the entire family, and attention must be paid to each one. ”
"What's more, this time it was not only our clansman who appeared, but also a half-elf. ”
Saying this, a smile appeared on Sidru's face: "As a half-elf, even if this child can't become a wizard, his child is at least half likely to have talent." If he can become a full-fledged wizard, then it means a lot to us that all of his descendants will definitely have the talent of a wizard for at least three generations. ”
They chatted for a while, leaving behind a group of people to bring the nobles who had migrated in front of them to the city to settle down, leaving only a few people such as Erhua and Adil.
"Sidru-sama. ”
Walking up to him, after a brief introduction, Adil had a gentle smile on his face.
Name: Sidru Fakus. Power: 5.4. Dexterity: 5.7. Constitution: 5.6. ”
Secretly, the voice of the chip machine sounded again in his head, which made Adil secretly startled.
This is a great knight, and although he is far from being an opponent of Adil, it is also awe-inspiring in his heart.
In the original Northland, there were only two great knights on the bright side, but now they can meet one just after coming to the south, which makes Adil a little surprised.
Of course, it is also possible that Count Aria specially sent a great knight for the sake of safety.
"Lord Boria must have told you that after you come to the southern kingdoms, Duke Ariel will take care of you. Looking at Adil's appearance, Sidru had a smile on his face, and he seemed to be very satisfied with Adil: "Although you are a descendant of Lord Boria, you are also our clansman, and in terms of relationship, Duke Ariel is also your uncle, so you can go to us with peace of mind." ”
On the side, listening to this, Flal was a little silent, and only after a long time did he speak: "I will take Erhua to settle in the Duchy of Barron, don't worry about us." ”
"In that case, then please leave it to the two adults. Adil said with a smile on his face that did not change.
Hearing this, on the side of Flal, Vala and Sidru smiled at the same time, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
On Adil's side, Erhua seemed to be ignored by those present, and just stood quietly to the side, without the slightest chance to interject.
His face was pale, and his steps were a little vain, and he stood silently beside Adil at this time, with a little unwillingness in the depths of his eyes.
Watching this scene from beginning to end, Adil also sighed a little, but in the end he still didn't say anything.
From the moment the Northlands fell, Elvar's identity had changed, and he was no longer the original glorious inheritor of the Northlands, but just an ordinary nobleman. If it weren't for Adiel's relationship, he wouldn't even be qualified to stand here and listen.
············
After settling Erhua, Adil followed Flal and others to the kingdom of Duke Arrieux in the south.
Half a month later, in a bustling city, Adil came to one of the palaces.
Beside them, Vala and Sidru stood silently, looking like they were waiting for someone.
After a while, in front, the figure of a middle-aged man appeared.
It was a tall man with a majestic face, with a somewhat majestic figure, wearing a blue leather coat at this time, and walked in front of Adil.
"Mistress Ariel!!" A voice came from beside him.
When they saw the middle-aged man in front of them, Vala and Sidru answered without hesitation, making Adil understand the identity of the person in front of him.
"You're Adiel?"
He looked at Adil in front of him, a kind smile on his majestic face, looked at him and asked.
In this regard, Adil showed a little nervous and cramped expression on his face at the right time, and nodded as if he was a little nervous: "Yes." ”
Looking at his appearance, the kind smile on Ariel's face remained unchanged, and he spoke very kindly to Adiel.
After they chatted here for a while, the tension that Adil had shown slowly disappeared and seemed much more relaxed.
Only then did he stand up and take out a letter from his bosom: "This is the letter that Uncle Boria asked me to bring to you." ”
He handed the letter over and said as he spoke.
Looking at the letter, Ariel's face was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, took the letter from Adil's hand, and stood there and looked at it.
This letter Adil had also read before, and it mainly wrote some detailed information about the Northland, as well as the detailed reasons for the fall, etc., and did not involve too many other things.
At the end of the letter, Adil and Erhua were specifically mentioned and asked to take care of them.
Because of the serious injuries he had suffered before his death, the handwriting on the letter appeared sloppy, but it did not prevent it from reading.
After Duke Arrieux quickly read the letter in his hand, a trace of sadness inevitably appeared in the depths of his eyes, which he covered up well and was not discovered.
"I already know what Boria asked me to do. ”
He looked at Adil and said, his face did not show the slightest abnormality: "Regarding the matter of the wizard, I guess Polya has already told you about it. ”
Looking at Adil in front of him and nodding, Ariel continued: "The fleet of wizards from afar will come to the south every year to receive apprentices from various wizard families and take them to other continents. Calculating the time, it is still two or three months before the arrival of the wizard fleet this time. ”
"In the meantime, you can rest well with me. ”

What's that····· Drawing on the experience of pushing the book last time, this time the author read a few chapters... I feel that the writing is still good, but it is not to my taste.
This author has finished a million-word book, and his character is guaranteed, and I took a look at it, and I feel that the writing is actually quite good, but the style of the whole book is more inclined to the second dimension, and ordinary readers may not be able to read it.
