A faint smoke rises in the spacious laboratory, accompanied by a slight aroma.

Bang! Bang!

At the door of the laboratory, there was a quick knock on the door, accompanied by a burst of footsteps.

"Come in!"

Adiel's voice rang out all around, and a crisp sound came from outside the back door.

With a squeak, the door of the laboratory was quickly opened, and two apprentices wearing black robes and embroidered jade patterns walked in from outside, their faces were very respectful: "Lord Adier, let's come and receive this month's share." ”

"Hmm, it's still a dozen days before the potion is delivered, right?"

Listening to the voice, Adil turned his head, his face looking a little confused.

"This... I'm so sorry..."

The black-robed apprentice's face was embarrassed: "The front-line battlefield is tight, and Lord Aeoria has urged us to gather logistics materials more than once, so..."

"Again?"

Hearing this, Adil frowned at first, but still stopped what he was doing and walked to the cabinet on the side.

From the cabinet on the side, he took out a large emerald green box and placed it directly on the wooden table next to him.

"Twenty sharpening potions, ten exorcism elixirs, and ten dragon's blood. ”

Adil looked at the apprentice in front of him: "This month's share is here, remember to come back next month." ”

"Yes, excuse me. ”

Hearing Adier's words, the two black-robed apprentices hurriedly explained, then stepped forward and gently opened the green box.

The moment the box was opened, a faint brilliance escaped from inside, and dozens of potions were directly displayed in it, which looked very beautiful.

When they saw these dozens of potions, the two black-robed apprentices immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and they were glad in their hearts: "It seems that there should be no problem in gathering the share this time." ”

After testing the potion and confirming that there was no problem, they handed over to Adier, and then saluted Adil and left in a hurry.

Standing in the spacious laboratory, looking at the backs of the two apprentices from a distance, Adil couldn't help but shake his head, and his heart was much heavier: "It seems that this time the war is very fierce." ”

At this time, half a year had passed since he joined the Emerald Hand, and during this time, Adil had not only merged into the Emerald Hand, but also accepted a task in charge of refining potions.

Compared to other quests, this quest is a good fit for Adiel. It only takes a fixed amount of time to refine a certain amount of potions to be delivered, and the task can be satisfied, which does not require too much time, and the rewards are very generous, which is very suitable for wizards with high power in refining potions like Adiel.

At the headquarters of the Emerald Hand, Adil usually earns black coins by refining potions, exchanging for various advanced knowledge, or communicating with other wizards. In the past nearly half a year, he has also made a lot of fame, and even some wizards from other organizations have heard of his reputation.

This kind of life was originally very stable, but judging from the recent situation, I am afraid that it will soon be over.

Packing up his belongings, Adil walked outside.

As soon as he walked out of the door of the laboratory, there was a sudden roar in the distance.

"The last batch of potions was just delivered a few days ago! How dare you bother me again!!"

A frantic roar came from the nearby lab, with a hint of madness in the sound and fluctuations in the force field.

In a laboratory not far from Adil, the two black-robed apprentices who had come to find Adil were thrown out directly, and they flew a distance of five or six meters before falling heavily to the ground, making a dull sound.

From Adil's gaze, he could even see a strange man in a black robe standing to the side with a hideous face, slamming the door shut.

Shaking his head slightly, Adil felt some sympathy for the two apprentices who were thrown out.

Not every wizard is as good at talking as Adiel, because of staying in the laboratory for a long time and doing various experiments, the psychology of many formal wizards is more or less distorted and extreme, and they will explode if they are not careful.

Ignoring this, Adil glanced at the place and headed for a certain road.

After he left, the door to the laboratory behind him closed automatically, and it was firmly closed.

Leaving his previous lab, Adil soon made his way to another area.

This is a small villa located on a plain plain.

Unlike the previous laboratory, the villa, although also located in the headquarters of the Emerald Hand, was Adiel's private property, having been purchased by him several months earlier as a place for some private experiments.

Walk to the gate of the villa, where there are already people waiting.

It was a middle-aged wizard in a red robe, with a mustache, and after seeing Adier's figure, he walked over with a warm expression: "Adiel, you are finally back." ”

"Tellis, long time no see!"

Looking at this person, a smile appeared on Adiel's face: "Are you here to bring me good news?"

"Of course, it's definitely good news for you. ”

Tellis smiled.

"Oh, I'm looking forward to it. ”

Seeing the other party say this, Adil was obviously a little curious.

The person in front of him is also a member of the Emerald Hand, but unlike Adil, a new member, this wizard has been joining the Emerald Hand for a long time, and there seems to be some connections behind it, and he can get a lot of rare things, such as a lot of rare slaves.

"Come, my friend, and I'm sure I'll satisfy you this time. ”

Tris clapped his hands, then walked aside with Adiel.

After walking for a long time, he stopped at a platform and pointed around: "Adil, look at the goods around here! These are all just transported from the battlefield." ”

Adil then looked around.

On the surrounding empty platforms, there were huge black cages, made of special alchemy materials, and blessed with special small witch arrays to suppress them.

And in these black cages, creatures of different statures sit quietly, some are humans, some are orcs, and some are sea tribes, looking like a hodgepodge.

In one of the cages, Adil also detected a certain aura, which made him change color: "Official wizard!! You can even get an official wizard?"

"Of course it can't be a living official wizard. ”

In the face of Adil's surprise, Triss shook his head: "I can't get a living official wizard, there are only two corpses here, and they are still mutilated." ”

Hearing this, Adiel's face returned to normal and followed the other party to the front.

It was only in front of the huge black cage in front of him that Adil could see what was inside.

It was two very miserable-looking corpses, one belonged to a human, the head had disappeared, and there were many parts and organs on the body, and it looked like flesh and blood were blurred.

As for the other one, it belonged to a female lizardman wearing leather armor, and her body was also bloody, and it seemed that she should have died from some powerful spell before she died.

"Both bodies were captured on the front lines, and I happened to be in the area at the time, and I knew that you needed these things, so I secretly bought them at a high price. ”

Speaking of this, Triss had a smug smile on his face: "How is this thing?"

"Tell me a price. Looking at the two corpses, Adil spoke.

"One hundred black coins. Looking at Adiel, Tris made an offer.

"Are you kidding me?" said Adiel, looking at Triss with a calm face.

"Of course not. ”

Tris shrugged: "My price has always been fair, and since I said this price, I will definitely satisfy you." ”

As he spoke, he walked over to the side of the cage and pulled the black cloth from the cage to reveal its contents.

A faint chill was rising, and an ice coffin was revealed, exposed to Adil's eyes.

Inside the cold ice coffin, a naked female elf corpse was lying quietly inside, with a dagger piercing her heart.

"This is..."

When he saw the corpse of this female elf, Adier's eyes suddenly became solemn.

"The corpse of an elven royal family has the thin bloodline of the ancient moon elves in its body, but it is a precious material that is difficult to obtain. ”

Triss snapped his fingers, "How?"

"I'm satisfied. ”

Looking at each other, Adil had a smile on his face.

················

"Has the war on the front line been so intense?"

After closing the transaction, while the servants on the side were transporting the corpses, Adil asked.

"yes. Triss sighed: "For most of the past six months, I have been shuttling on the frontline battlefield, and the terrifying legacy of the battlefield makes me feel terrified. ”

"The lizardmen have rioted, and the Swamp Duchy has declared war on us, joining forces with the dark wizards of the province of Odo. The orcs to the north are also rioting, and are now fighting the Academy of Black Thorns to the north. ”

"The elves of the Silver Mist Forest in the south are the same, it seems that they have also been on the rise recently, constantly searching for news around, and it seems that they are still hesitating. ”

Speaking of this, Tellis also looked helpless.

Unlike other regions, although the power of wizards in the Meissen region is stronger, the contradictions are also more intense, and conflicts between various races and even different wizarding organizations often break out, and wars are just commonplace.

"Anyway, you're going to get ready lately. ”

Triss reminded Adiel: "Recently, the surrounding forms have become more and more chaotic, and although our Emerald Hand is still relatively stable, it seems that there have been some movements recently. ”

"The Order is going to war too?" said Adil frowned.

"It's not clear. Triss smiled bitterly: "How can I, an official wizard, figure out the high-level affairs, at most, relying on some previous news, the news is a little faster than you received." ”

"That's just as well. Adil nodded lightly at this statement and said no more.
