At noon, the sun shines on a mountain range, bringing warmth to the earth.

Walking in the barren mountains and sitting in a carriage, Adil soon came to the town ahead.

Similar to what I have seen before, this place is very deserted, the surrounding buildings are very dilapidated, and the clothes of the residents are very shabby, and it seems that life is not very good.

Arriving here, led by the coachman, Adil walked to the only hotel in the town.

"What? The room in the middle has been decided?"

At the counter of the hotel, Adiel's coachman stood in front of the counter, arguing with a balding middle-aged man: "Don't you even have a room left?"

"This... I'm really sorry. ”

Standing in front of the counter, the bald man was wearing a coarse cloth coat, and looked at the coachman with a sad face: "We don't know what's going on, but there have been more people coming to us recently, and an adult just had all the rooms chartered two days ago." ”

"Or, you can stay in the room on the top floor, I promise it's as good as the room in the middle. ”

"Come on, you guys get cold here at night, how can you live on the top floor be the same as in the middle. ”

Looking at the bald man, the coachman was about to argue with him, but suddenly heard Adiel's voice on the side.

"Stu, forget it, we'll live on the top floor. ”

Looking at the coachman in front of him, Adil directly spoke to stop their quarrel.

For him, living on the top floor was no different from living in the middle, and a little cold was nothing to a full-fledged wizard.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the distance.

Casually looking in that direction, Adil was suddenly stunned.

On the stairs ahead, a figure suddenly appeared.

It was a tall girl in a black and red robe, who looked very young, with long red hair, and looked very eye-catching.

It's just her appearance that makes Adil very familiar, and it is Sisti who once left the Bal Islands together.

Five or six years have passed, and she has changed a little, although her face is still a little immature, but she is much more mature than in the past.

On her body, Adil also sensed the faint fluctuations of energy particles, and it seemed that she had reached the second rank of apprenticeship.

"What is he doing here?"

Standing in place, looking at Sisti walking down the stairs in the distance, Adil frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong.

On the other party, he sensed a strange aura, and the other party's movements at this time also seemed very stiff.

"Chip, detect each other's body data!"

Looking at each other, Adil seemed to say to the chip in his mind.

"Name: Sisti. Power: 2.7. Dexterity: 3.3. Constitution: 3.1. ”

"Unknown breath detected, after database comparison... Morrah Parasitism 84.1%, Advanced Control 78.4%, Mad Potion 75.6% ······" In my head, the prompt sound of the chip machine sounded again.

"It's not a good thing..."

Listening to the prompt sound of the chip in his head, Adil couldn't help but mutter.

Whether it is the advanced control technique or the Morla parasite, it is one of the more difficult means of control in the wizarding world, and it can be forcibly controlled by others to a certain extent.

If the other party has no ability to resist, a spell is cast by an official wizard, even a third-class apprentice will be controlled.

However, the use of both spells is more difficult, Morrah parasitism requires the cultivation of a rare parasite, and the use of advanced control techniques requires the carving of complex witch circles on the opponent to ensure control, which is not a spell used by ordinary official wizards.

And the appearance of Sisti in front of her is clearly controlled by someone, so she exudes that unique aura on her body.

Standing in place, looking at Sisti walking out of the door in the distance, he hesitated for a moment, but instead of stepping forward, Adil turned his back to the other and looked at the corner with his peripheral vision.

Under Adil's gaze, Sisti wore a red dress and walked directly to the door.

Outside the door, a group of people were walking in from the outside, led by a female apprentice in a black robe, with black hair, but her eyes looked very grim and cold, like the eyes of a snake.

The aura on her body is very strong, and she has already reached the range of a third-class apprentice. Behind him, several apprentices with equally stiff movements silently followed him.

At the very end of the line, a handsome young man in leather armor with shiny blond hair silently followed, his movements also looking stiff.

This is Andrew, also an acquaintance of Adil at the beginning, and like Sisti, he was one of Adil's few friends.

At this time, his movements looked stiff, and he seemed to be under control, with no expression on his face, just looking at Sisti who was waiting in front of him and nodded.

"Where's Lord Laman?" a sharp voice rang out in place.

In front of Andrew, the black-haired female apprentice looked at Sisti with a blank face and asked.

"Lord Raman and Lord Meldo are together, and they are discussing upstairs..."

Looking at the female apprentice in front of her, Sisti's face was blank and she spoke softly.

They talked there for a few words, and then the black-haired female apprentice walked straight up the stairs, leaving the rest of the apprentices still there.

"What are you looking at?"

At the end, after the other apprentices had left, Andrew looked at Sisti and asked.

"The man's back... It seems a little familiar. ”

Looking at a corner in a daze, staring at the back of a certain black-robed figure, Sisti whispered, "It's a bit like Adiel." ”

Under her gaze, in the distance, the thin black-robed man suddenly turned around, revealing a broad, bearded, middle-aged face.

"Uh... All right. ”

Looking at this scene, Andrew shook his shoulders and showed a somewhat difficult smile: "Speaking of which, I don't know how Adil is doing now... Since he's been tasked with investigating mutant orcs, we've rarely heard from him. ”

"But with his talent, he should be about to be promoted to a third-class apprentice by now, not like us..."

Speaking of this, Andrew's eyes darkened, and he looked a little decadent.

Time has changed a lot, and in Adiel's impression in the past, Andrew has always been a confident and proud person, but now he looks very decadent, even faintly numb.

The same is true of Sisti on the side, thinking about everything in the past at this time, and then thinking about her current situation, her eyes can't help but dim.

They didn't notice that in the corner they were looking at before, when their eyes stopped looking, the appearance of the black-robed middle-aged man suddenly changed, and he turned into a handsome young man again.

Silently walked to the corner and observed the situation on Andrew and the two through the chip, Adil couldn't help frowning.

Obviously, not only Sisti, but even Andrew and the previous apprentice have been controlled by people, and even this person's strength is not low, and it is likely that he has reached the level of an official wizard.

This discovery immediately made Adil feel a little troublesome.

He would not have thought that an official wizard had come to this remote corner with such a large number of apprentices just to relax.

The other party should have their own goals, and it is even likely to be the same as Adil's goal this time.

With this in mind, after a while, Adil walked upstairs and walked towards his room.

It wasn't until hours later that he went downstairs and sat alone in the corner of the hotel, eating his dinner.

Dinner looks very hearty, not only with the local special green bread, but also some local game, which tastes very good.

But sitting at the wooden table, Adiel's attention was not on dinner.

Beside him, a black-robed man and a red-robed man were sitting there, exuding a burst of aura from their bodies.
