"Artifact?"

Adiel's face froze, and his guess was a little unexpected.

"Yes, artifact..."

Mar's face was also a little solemn, she turned around and looked at the Wind Nest Tavern not far away, with some palpitations in her eyes: "In that tavern, I feel the suppression of powerful divine power, and there is a mighty will, which definitely belongs to the gods..."

"That will is still asleep, but just a little bit of majesty leaks out of my grasp, and I can't move the power of destiny in my hands, and I can't see anything. ”

Speaking of this, a slight wry smile appeared on her face, and then she spoke: "This tavern is probably also the arrangement of a god, if you can, try to have as little contact with this tavern as possible in the future." ”

"I understand. Adil frowned soothingly, and looked at Mar and nodded, indicating that he understood.

Before leaving, he took one last look at the tavern in the distance, and then left with Mar, walking in the direction he had come.

Time passed bit by bit, in silence, and soon more than half a month passed.

Early one morning, Adil had just gotten up and was about to pick up his sword and go out to practice, when he received news from the palace.

"Is it news from Prince Grull?"

Looking at the attendant in front of him, Adil had a surprised expression on his face.

"Yes. ”

In front of him, a young attendant was half-kneeling, looking at Adil with respect on his face at this moment, and said: "It is a letter written by Prince Gruul himself last night, and he personally instructed me to deliver this letter to you. ”

Hearing this, Adil nodded, didn't say anything, and directly opened the letter wrapped in oiled paper in front of the attendant, and then looked at it.

"The battle in the south has been raging again, and two days ago I received news from the southern region of Caro that the Duke of Nether has now set out on his expedition and is now heading north. ”

"My friend, there is likely to be a big battle in the near future, and there may be some affairs in the palace, please be careful..."

"Also, your sister seems to want to see you lately, so if you have time in the near future, come and meet her in the palace·····"

"Your friend, Gruul..."

Looking at the letter, Adil was silent, and after a while, he raised his head, looked at the attendant in front of him, and said seemingly casually: "When Prince Grull handed over the letter to you, when was he and what was he doing?"

"Time?" Listening to Adier's words, the attendant was a little strange, but he still recalled it seriously, and then spoke: "It was about the evening close to the early morning, and His Highness was in the study at that time. ”

"So..." Adil nodded, signaling in understanding, and then pretended to be unintentional and asked something else.

It wasn't until a long time later that he got up and personally sent the attendant in front of him away, which flattered the attendant in front of him a little.

Sending the attendant out of the door all the way, looking at the attendant who was far away, Adil fell into deep thought.

"Gruul..."

In his mind, he murmured, and a strange sense of unease came over him.

"The writing on the envelope is in the unique secret language format of the Bakuru family, but after reading it in the secret language, I can't decipher anything, Gruul, what do you want to tell me?"

Recalling what had been written on the letter, Adil frowned.

The so-called secret language is a language format specially chosen by nobles for secrecy, and often each noble family has a specific set, which can only be understood by the core members of their own family.

The body occupied by Adil is also a nobleman with a long tradition, and there is also a simple set of secret words in the family.

As the son-in-law of the Bakuru family, Grull has the relatives of Adil by his side, so it is not surprising that he knows this set of secret words.

In the letter sent by Gruul, Adil found traces of this secret language.

But after using the secret language to interpret it, it is impossible to decipher the complete content.

This unique situation made Adil frown and feel a little strange.

For a long time, the grasp of the timing made Adil a little alert, and he vaguely felt that there seemed to be some kind of change around him.

"Who!!"

The next moment, he turned around suddenly, and the long sword on his waist suddenly came out of its sheath, and the sword slashed straight down.

The silver long sword rushed forward, and the huge silver sword qi pressed downward, faintly driving the huge elemental particles around it to exert downward pressure, sending out bursts of roars in mid-air, which made people dizzy.

Under this sword, the person hidden in a corner can no longer hide, and directly reveals his figure.

A little girl suddenly appeared from the corner, dressed in a tattered cloth robe with patches, and her body looked dirty, and she looked like a little beggar.

She hurried out of the corner, with anxiety and fear on her face, staring blankly at the sword that Adil had slashed, and her small mouth opened slightly, and she was about to shout out loud.

Yes!!!

An astonishing cry rang out in place.

With a pop, the little girl sat directly on the ground, a little dull face, and a face full of fear.

It wasn't until after a while that she reacted and raised her hand blankly: "I... I'm not dead?"

"Not only did he not die, but he lived well. A voice came from the front.

Looking at the little girl who fell to the ground, Adil put away his long sword and walked forward quietly, although his face was calm, his eyes were a little surprised: "What are you doing here?"

"And it's still dressed like this..."

Only then did the little girl react, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Adil in front of her a little angry: "Isn't it fun to be scary?

"I didn't scare you. ”

Adil shook his head calmly, then stretched out his right hand and pointed into the distance.

Following the direction he had pointed, the little girl looked into the distance.

I saw a figure lying quietly there in the far corner.

It was a black-robed figure, looking like a grown woman, but with black hair all over her body, and a face hideous and terrifying, as stiff as a long-dead corpse, with a putrid smell.

And on the figure's chest, a sharp sword mark clearly appeared on it, almost splitting it in half.

"Monster..."

Seeing the figure in the distance, the little girl's face suddenly turned pale, and her eyes revealed deep fear and uneasiness.

"You've been here for a total of ten minutes since you first came here, and during this time, this thing has been following you, but because I was there, I didn't attack you..."

Adil turned around and looked at the little girl in front of him a little speechless: "Since you've come here, what are you doing hiding there for so long?"

"I'm not... I'm afraid you won't be able to defeat this monster..."

Hearing Adil say this, the little girl said a little hesitantly, and then seemed to remember something, with a face of loss: "This monster is very powerful, even if it is a silver knight, it may not be an opponent·····"

"So, you're worried that I'm not an opponent, so you want to lure this monster away and then come to me?"

Hearing what the little girl said, Adil shook his head, and instead of delving into this topic, he said, "Say, what's going on?"

"You are a good apprentice priest, how did you become like this?"

The little girl in front of her was a trainee priest that Adil had seen several times, and her name was Kitty.

When they first met, the girl had a bad attitude towards Adiel's attack on the Dark Rite, but as time passed, the two sides softened as their ties with the Dim Church deepened.

"It was Sister Hirna who asked me to come to you..."

Looking at Adil in front of her, Kitty looked a little lost on her face, and there was a faint fear in her eyes: "There was some accident in the church, and all the people couldn't get out..."

"In order to solve this matter, Sister Sylna asked me to sneak out and come to you..."

As she spoke, she took out an object from her bosom and carefully placed it on Adil's hand: "This is the letter that Sister Sylna asked me to give you, she said that as long as you see it, you will understand." ”

As she spoke, a little scarlet flashed in her eyes, like a scarlet gem, with a strange brilliance.

This anomaly came and went quickly, almost within a thousandth of a second, and it was difficult for ordinary people even powerful knights to notice.

"After sending the letter, I should also find a way to go back..."

Handing the letter to Adil in front of her, Kitty secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then shuffled and began to run into the distance, apparently preparing to go to the next place to deliver the letter.

Behind him, standing in place, Adil quietly watched the girl leave, from beginning to end, his face did not change much.

A sharp light swept in front of him, accompanied by a whistling sound.

Ahead, Kitty stopped, slowly lowered her head, and looked at her chest.

In between her chest, a silver sword had pierced through her chest, piercing straight out of his.

A little blood flowed, Kitty didn't have the slightest expression on her face, just quietly turned around and glanced at Adiel: "How did you find out?"

"There's something wrong with the breath. Behind him, Adiel's voice came.

He walked in expressionlessly and looked at the little girl-like thing in front of him: "Moreover, I'm just trying." ”

"If you kill the wrong person, there is naturally a way to save you back..."

"It's so ruthless..." Kitty opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't say anything.

Because on the long sword, a bit of pure life energy is rippling open, and the power contained in it completely explodes, directly destroying all the organs inside her.

The huge fighting spirit rippled in place, and after a while, Kitty in front of him suddenly changed.
