"Looking at the time, it's been more than a year since I left the academy."
Standing where he was, Adil silently calculated the time. His expression was calm, "I wonder how the academy is doing."
Before he left, Uralto College was negotiating with a few other Magus organizations to develop the secret plane together. Now that more than a year had passed, there should be some preliminary results.
"According to the information I got last time, the secret plane has started to open. It's been so long, I wonder how much progress it has made," Adil thought to himself.
While he was in Ancient Armor City, Adil would occasionally leave to trade for some resources at a faraway resource point, as well as gather some information along the way. However, due to his focus on bloodline experiments, he had not left for a long time.
The last time he went to gather information was at least half a year ago.
According to Adil's previous investigation, the secret plane had undoubtedly begun to be opened. Even the various academies had achieved many important results. From time to time, the remains of ancient wizards would be unearthed. A large number of wizards could not help but be tempted to participate in the exploration of the secret plane.
Taking into account the time, and the distance from the Kingdom of Komodo to the southern plains, this information was at least a year ago. Who knew how much the situation had changed by now.
"It should still be being developed."
Standing in place, Adil silently cleaned up some things in the laboratory, this thought flashed through his mind.
According to the information that Professor Edith had told him before he left, although this secret plane was only a small one, it had originated from the end of the Glorious Era. There were many Magi left behind.
Things left behind by Magi were not easy to obtain. There were definitely many powerful spell formations and traps inside that were difficult for Magi to deal with. Otherwise, the academies would not have ordered other Magi to enter the secret plane.
"No matter what, I can't wait to advance to level 3 Acolyte. I have to return to the academy as soon as possible."
Standing where he was, Adil mumbled to himself, "It'll take at least a few months to get to the academy from Ancient Armor City. This is just enough time for me to strengthen my spirit ocean. When the academy has prepared the necessary resources, I can immediately begin my advancement. "
"But before that, there are some things in the city that I need to take care of."
Thinking of this, he put down the things in his hands and walked out of the dark laboratory.
As soon as he walked out of the laboratory, the sunlight from the outside shone on his face, making him slightly uncomfortable.
Adil stood there silently for a while. After he had completely adapted to the environment, he walked outside.
After finishing the long experiment, he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he rested for a few days before starting to deal with the things he had left behind.
First, there were the orcs who were used as test subjects.
After such a long time, the number of orcs in the manor had accumulated to more than a hundred. They were all survivors of Adil's experiments.
Not only were these Beastmen much stronger than the other Beastmen, but there were also quite a few Bloodthirsty Beastmen among them, as well as an eight-meter-tall Beastman with silver skin.
That was the first Bloodthirsty Beastman that Adil had created. Over the past half a year, Adil had tried to transfer some of the purified bloodline of the Bronze Behemoth into this Bloodthirsty Beastman's body.
Although this Bloodthirsty Beastman did not completely turn into a Beaumont due to the small amount of bloodline, at least it retained its rationality and had about 70 to 80 percent of the Bronze Behemoth's power.
With this kind of power, as long as it did not attract the attention of many Acolytes, it would not be in any danger.
After Adil left, these hundred or so Beastmen were out of control, and naturally could not be left in the city.
As such, he moved them out of the city and let them live in the depths of the mountain range.
After dealing with these Beastmen, the other matters were much easier to deal with.
In the past year or so, the people who had followed him had all been settled down. They had land and a stable life, and he did not need to deal with them anymore.
Adel had now become a Great Knight, and had the title of a Baron and some land that Adil had given him. He had already started a family in the city, and did not need Adil's help either.
He left his manor to the old steward Bagrew, and asked Cossis and a few Acolytes that he was familiar with to look after it. He then packed some things, took a few horses, and prepared to leave the city.
Early in the morning, the sun shone down on the earth.
On an ancient path, Adil walked alone in the wilderness. Apart from two black horses, there was no one else beside him.
He did not tell anyone that he was leaving this time, and rode out of the city without anyone seeing him off.
Compared to the team that had come here with dozens of people, this time, Adil was the only one who left. Walking alone in the wilderness, his thin figure seemed somewhat miserable.
When he reached a fork, he looked at the map in his hands, and then walked in a certain direction.
More than two months later.
Because he was traveling alone, Adil's speed was very fast, and he had already left the eastern part of the Kingdom of Komodo, and was about to reach the Duchy of Allen.
Occasionally, he would encounter some wild beasts on the way, but they were no threat to Adil. Half a month later, a city was already in sight.
Riding on a horse, and seeing that there were more and more people around him, Adil took out the yellowed map from his bosom, and began to check the surrounding cities.
After observing for a while, he put the map back, and then walked toward another path.
After riding for a few hours, he soon reached the side of a swamp.
There was a thick fog slowly rising in the surroundings, bringing with it a faint fluctuation of magic power.
Sensing this, Adil dismounted, and after tying the two horses around him, he walked into the depths of the swamp.
Walking to the side of the swamp, Adil stopped for a moment, and the magical wave on his body spread out.
The next moment, his vision began to change.
After sensing the magical wave on Adil's body, the surrounding fog began to dissipate, and the view behind him was automatically revealed.
When the fog disappeared, Adil looked forward again.
In the swamp, there was a path paved with stone slabs ahead, and it was now clearly visible.
Looking at this path, Adil did not hesitate, and he immediately stepped forward.
Ten minutes later, the road paved with stone slabs began to disappear, and land began to appear in front of him.
Not far away, a market appeared in front of him.
"Hello, this is a market managed by the Ximi family. Please remember to maintain order."
As he walked to the entrance of the market, a voice came from the side.
Following the voice, Adil looked to the side, and there, a small figure was squatting in Silence.
It was a gray kitten the length of an adult's forearm, and it was currently lying on a stone slab in Silence, looking at Adil with its gray eyes.
"Uh, hello."
Looking at the cat at his feet, Adil stared blankly for a moment before coming to his senses.
He squatted down and looked at the kitten, "Are you the guardian of this place?"
"No, no, no, I'm not a guardian."
Hearing Adil's words, the kitten lazily propped itself up, looking very cute, "I was hired by the Ximi family to guard this place."
Standing in front of the kitten and listening to its words, Adil did not dare to look down on it.
Under the A.I. Chip's detection, the kitten's body had powerful high-energy radiation, which was comparable to that of a level 3 Acolyte.
After thinking for a moment, he spoke again, "May I ask where I can get the latest news?"
As he spoke, he took out a Magic Stone and placed it in front of him.
Looking at the magic crystal, the kitten's eyes lit up, and it immediately bit down on it.
"Not bad, you're much more generous than those gloomy fellows. They're not even willing to give me any cat food."
Looking at Adil and chewing on the magic crystal, the kitten complained.
After chewing on the magic crystal, the kitten looked at Adil and said, "If you want to know anything, just ask me. At least I'm the first to know a lot of the news here."
"I want to know a few things about the secret plane."
Standing where he was, Adil smiled, "I heard that a secret plane from the Glorious Era appeared in the southern continent, I wonder what the situation is like now."
This question was very ordinary.
Now that the news about the secret plane had spread, many Magi knew about it, so asking this question was not strange at all.
However, after hearing Adil's question, Little Cat glanced at him and looked at him with a strange expression. "Your information is outdated. That Arcana Land is now closed."
"Sealed?" Hearing this news, Adil was momentarily stunned, and then asked, "Why would it be sealed? It's only been about two years since the secret plane was discovered … "
Logically speaking, a Magus secret plane, even if it was a small one, would need at least five to six years to completely explore it.
Not to mention that the secret plane that appeared this time was from the Glorious Era, and there were many spell formations set up by the Ancient Magi in the secret plane. To completely analyze it would take even more time.
"Who knows …"
Looking at Adil, the kitten continued to lie down, "Maybe it's because they found something amazing, or maybe something unexpected happened. Who knows?"
Hearing this, Adil thought for a moment, "Then, do you know what happened to the academies that participated in the exploration of the secret plane?"
As he spoke, he took out another two magic crystals and placed them in front of the kitten in Silence.
"I don't know, I heard that they suffered heavy losses."
