In the center of the luxuriously decorated dining hall, a few apprentices were eating at a few tables.
"Adil, what are you going to do next?"
Radel's voice sounded from across Adil.
"I'm probably going to Kuma Principality."
Sitting on a chair, Adil thought for a moment and said, "I heard that something happened to my family. I want to go there as soon as possible."
"I see," Radel nodded, "I'm going back to Silama Kingdom. That's my family's territory."
"If there's anything in the future, you can send someone to look for me," Radel said, looking at Adil.
"I'll send someone to escort you there later."
At this moment, Kaiger interrupted, "The situation in the surroundings has been a bit chaotic recently. There are bandits and soldiers everywhere. It's very troublesome.
Although these people are nothing to us, it's good to save some trouble. "
"Thank you for the trouble," Adil nodded and thanked Kaiger in front of him.
"That's fine," Kaiger shook his head, "but there are some things that I need you to participate in."
"Although you have agreed to join the Southern Alliance, you have not registered yet. Also, you need to find time to meet the other members of the alliance."
"Of course."
These were all things that had been mentioned before, so Adil had no objections and nodded in agreement.
A few days later.
Early in the morning, under the escort of five to six hundred warriors, Adil boarded a carriage and followed the group into the distance.
Most of the warriors in the surroundings were on horses. Not only were they well-equipped, but they were also in a much more orderly formation. Just by looking at them, one could tell that they were elites.
These were the troops that Kaiger had specially sent to escort Adil. On one hand, they could take care of the miscellaneous matters along the way, and on the other hand, they could act as a bit of decoration.
After a while, the group slowly set off towards the distance.
… …
Two months later.
In a plain, a group of hundreds of people slowly stopped by the roadside.
"Elder Adil, we have now entered the territory of Kuma Principality. In three days, we will reach Kuma City."
In the luxuriously decorated carriage, a knight in black armor with a weapon on his waist looked at Adil respectfully and reported to him.
"It'll be here in a few days, right?"
Sitting in the carriage and listening to the knight's report, Adil nodded and asked, "Thank you for your hard work. What is your name?"
"Aso Mara." After hearing Adil's words, the knight was stunned for a second before he hurriedly replied to Adil.
"Aso, right?" Looking at the respectful knight in front of him, Adil's eyes flashed with admiration, "You've done well during this time. If there's a chance, I'll put in a few words for you in front of Elder Kaiger."
Hearing this, a trace of joy flashed through Aso's eyes. However, he concealed it very well and didn't show it.
After a while, Aso reported some matters to Adil. Seeing that he didn't have any other orders, Aso left the carriage and prepared to deal with other matters.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
On a certain afternoon, the shape of a city appeared in the distance. It seemed that they would arrive soon.
However, after arriving here, Adil's group was also discovered by the people of Kuma.
"Who are you people?" A loud voice sounded from afar.
In the distance, there was also an army of hundreds of people blocking the front. At this moment, the leading knight walked forward and looked at the army in front of him with a dignified expression.
From the knight's point of view, the hundreds of soldiers in front of him were absolute elites. Whether it was their armor or horses, they were all top-notch. Moreover, they were lined up neatly and seemed to have undergone strict training.
"Could it be that people from other kingdoms are coming to rob us?"
In an instant, he thought of this possibility and couldn't help but feel bitter.
"We are here to escort Elder Adil to Kuma Principality under the orders of the Southern Alliance."
Aso, who was at the front of the team, saw the situation in front of him. He led two people to the front and shouted at the opposite team.
Immediately, the leading knight was taken aback and couldn't understand the situation.
As a knight born in the noble class, he could understand some things about the Southern Alliance, but he couldn't understand the so-called elders at all.
This was also normal. After all, only the nobles could come into contact with the existence of wizards. If it wasn't due to unexpected circumstances, it would be rare for others to come into contact with this level of information.
However, although he couldn't understand the situation, as long as they were people of the Southern Alliance, he had to treat them with caution. Especially the title of elder, it sounded like an extremely honorable person.
"Do you have proof?" Thinking until here, he shouted to the opposite side.
Hearing this, Aso felt a little impatient, but he didn't show it on his face.
He directly asked the knight beside him to take the certificate that Kaiger gave him before they set off and let the leading knight examine it.
The certificates of the Southern Alliance were specially made. Not only were they enchanted with the power of magic, but they also had the imprint of each elder.
After carefully examining the authenticity of the certificate, the leading knight breathed a sigh of relief and split the team into two, with one team remaining in place to act as guides and guards.
He took a few knights and hurried towards Kuma City in the distance, ready to tell the others about this news and let the city prepare to welcome the higher-ups of the Southern Alliance.
Because there were only a few knights hurrying, they were much faster than the team behind them and soon arrived at the city in the distance.
"What, an elder of the Southern Alliance is here?" In a spacious hall, a surprised voice sounded around.
In the hall, a handsome middle-aged man in noble attire stood there.
If Adil was here, he would definitely be able to recognize the man in front of him. It was Cydru, who was responsible for sending him to the ship back then. He looked a little older and haggard.
At this moment, listening to the report of the knight in front of him, Cydru had a surprised expression on his face. "Are you sure it's an elder of the Southern Alliance?"
As a Great Knight and a member of the Farcus Family, he understood the significance and dignity of the identity of an elder of the Southern Alliance. Naturally, he was surprised by the sudden visit of an elder.
"This might be an opportunity." Hearing this news, this thought flashed through his mind.
In recent years, Kuma Principality's situation wasn't good. First, it was affected by the chaos of war, which led to a great loss of strength. After the chaos of war subsided, there were some unexpected situations. Duke Ariel was seriously injured and was currently in his weakest state.
If he could establish a relationship with an elder of the Southern Alliance, his future would undoubtedly be much better.
At this thought, he calmed down and looked at the knight in front of him. "Which elder of the Southern Alliance is it?"
"According to him, the visitor this time is an elder by the name of Adil."
After listening to Cydru's words, the knight recalled for a moment and replied seriously.
"What did you say?"
At the mention of Adil's name, Cedric widened his eyes abruptly as he gazed at the knight with extreme astonishment.
"Send someone to prepare immediately, we'll go to the city gate to welcome them!" After a while, Cedric's voice quickly rang out in the hall.
On the other side, under the protection of hundreds of soldiers, Adil arrived at the gate of Kuma City after more than an hour.
In front of the city gate, a group of people was ready to welcome them. Cedric stood in the group with several people beside him, waiting in Silence.
"They're here!" Cedric's heart skipped a beat when he saw the team ahead.
He took a deep breath and quickly walked over with a few people beside him.
"Sir, the people from the Kuma Principality have arrived."
Seeing Cedric and the others walking over, Aso walked to the side of Adil's carriage and reported to Adil.
"Have we arrived?"
Hearing Aso's words, Adil silently opened his eyes and exited from the deep state of meditation. He then stood up and walked down from the carriage.
As soon as he got off the carriage, he could clearly see Cedric's figure in the distance.
"It's really Adil!!" From afar, a low voice sounded in an excited voice.
Looking at the carriage in Silence, the moment Cedric saw Adil, his face suddenly became excited.
Although they hadn't seen each other for more than three years, Adil's unique and handsome appearance hadn't changed much, and Cedric immediately recognized him.
Walking to a distance, Adil also showed a smile on his face when he saw Cedric and the others coming to welcome him, "Cedric, long time no see."
… …
"I really didn't expect that you would reach this level in only about four years."
In a large manor, Cedric sighed as he looked at Adil, who looked almost the same as before, except that he had grown a lot taller.
"It's just luck."
Sitting opposite Cedric, Adil shook his head and said, "I haven't been in contact with my family for a long time. Tell me about the recent situation here."
Cedric nodded, then organized his words and began to speak again.
From his narration, Adil understood what had happened in the Kuma Principality in the past few years.
First, there was the war in the north. Because of some things, a few big countries in the north went south together, causing a lot of pressure on some countries at the border of the Southern Alliance.
The Kuma Principality was located at the border of the Southern Alliance, and also encountered a lot of pressure. In the past few years, a lot of things happened, causing a lot of losses to the Principality.
