"Where are the others?"
Adil casually killed a few mutated humans under the zealous gaze of Sydham and the rest. He then looked at Sydham and asked.
"We were suddenly ambushed by these people, and a few of them were injured. They are now lying in the room."
Sydham's heart skipped a beat as he looked at Adil. He sheathed his sword and reported to Adil.
"Hmm, good job."
Adil nodded and looked behind him.
It was still raining outside, accompanied by thunder from time to time. However, it was getting lighter. The wind was still howling, and the smell of blood that had gathered was blown away.
"The rain is about to stop. We will leave as soon as the sky brightens."
Adil said as he looked at the sky outside.
The next day.
When the sky outside started to brighten, the rain had almost stopped as well.
Adil asked a few guards to take the luggage, and then slowly searched the other parts of the town under Polly and Brand's lead.
Each of those mutated humans was a small size, and they could gain a lot of power after killing them. Adil didn't want to waste any of them.
With the two locals leading the way, the process went smoothly. They found seven or eight mutated humans in a row, which was quite a harvest.
In the process, Adil also found the little girl named Amy.
She had been hiding under a wooden bed in a small room last night, and no one had discovered her. She only came out in the morning, and happened to be discovered by Adil.
After thinking for a while, Adil decided to bring her along with him.
After the battle last night, the town had become a dead town, and there were still traces of radiation in the surroundings. Leaving a little girl in this town was no different from murder, so it was better to bring her back to the manor and settle her down.
As long as it didn't involve profits, Adil was willing to help such a pitiful person.
After searching the entire town and confirming that there was nothing, Adil met up with Sydham, got on a horse, and quickly left the town.
After leaving the town, they did not follow the original route they had planned. Instead, they chose to return.
This was Adil's decision.
The purpose of his trip this time was to search for some forbidden areas and see if he could find anything strange in them to speed up the enhancement of his mental strength.
However, he had gained a lot in this small town. Not only had he slaughtered the mutated humans for a while, but he had also killed two Uncanny Beasts. This was enough for him to accumulate his strength. Naturally, there was no need for him to try his luck in those forbidden lands where he had no idea if they were real or fake.
Moreover, Ai Mi, Bonnie, and the others were with him this time. It would be more or less inconvenient for them to continue their journey.
Walking on the road, stepping on the softened ground after the rain, Adil led the team in the direction of the return journey.
… …
Two months later.
In a luxuriously decorated room in the manor, Adil opened his eyes and ended his meditation.
"Name: Adil Farcus. Strength: 14.8 Agility: 15.4 Constitution: 15.2 Mental Force: 11.4 "
In front of him, the familiar stats panel appeared, and his body's data was clearly displayed in front of him.
"After more than two months, I've finally digested the two newly obtained crystal cores, and I've finally reached this point."
Sitting up from the bed, Adil looked at his body's data and nodded with satisfaction.
It had been more than two months since he left the small town.
In more than two months, after Adil digested the two newly obtained crystal cores, his body's quality suddenly increased to this level.
Putting aside other data, just the mental strength alone, which was the most important value for advancing to an official Sorcerer, had already reached the standard for advancement. If not for Adil's suppression, he could have started advancing at any time.
After casually looking around, Adil walked to a glass mirror in the corner of the room and looked at his appearance.
In the pure glass mirror, a handsome young man with deep black eyes appeared. His black hair had a hint of silver, and he looked calm and confident. He had a temperament and charm that made people's eyes light up.
Looking at the figure in the mirror, Adil's expression was calm, and he did not have any reaction.
He was almost nineteen years old now, but he still looked like a sixteen or seventeen year old youth on the outside. There was almost no change in him compared to the past.
This was probably the influence of the half of his elven blood. Compared to ordinary humans, the elves lived longer. Even ordinary elves could generally live to 120 years old, and in terms of adolescence, elves lived much longer than humans.
If there were no accidents, Adil's appearance would be maintained for a long time, and he would only start to change when he was in his twenties.
However, Adil did not care about this.
"A.I. Chip, use my current body's data as the basis, and with the assistance of the thorn tree's sap, simulate the success rate of advancing to an official Magus!" Standing on the spot, Adil instructed the A.I. Chip in his mind.
[Mission establishing … Extracting data from database … Beginning simulation.] The A.I. Chip's robotic voice sounded in his mind.
[Simulation complete … Estimated success rate of advancing to an official Magus is 79.1% …] Not long after, the robotic voice sounded again.
"Such a low success rate?" Hearing the A.I. Chip's prompt, Adil frowned.
Strictly speaking, this success rate was not low. There was more than a 50% chance of advancing. If it was any other acolyte, they would probably wake up laughing in their dreams.
However, for Adil, this success rate was indeed a little low.
He himself was a rare fourth-grade acolyte. As long as he met the requirements for advancement, and had a portion of resources, the success rate would be around 50%. Not to mention, his body's stats were so strong that even some official Magi could not compare to him. The life force he had was naturally not something other acolytes could compare to.
The stronger the life force of an acolyte during advancement, the higher the success rate.
Other than life force, Adil's spiritual force had also greatly exceeded the requirements for advancement. With so many good conditions piled up, the success rate was actually less than 80%, which was indeed a little low.
"I can still wait a little longer. Advancing to an official Magus only has the highest success rate the first time, so I have to do everything I can to ensure that the advancement is successful."
Standing in front of the glass mirror, Adil calmly thought, "Seems like I still have to think of a way to make the Soul Drop Potion."
During this period of time, other than the improvement of his body, he had also made progress in other areas.
The replacement formula for the Soul Drop Potion had already been simulated. The reason why he did not make it during this period of time was not because Adil did not want to, but because the ingredients were too troublesome.
Most of the ingredients for the new Soul Drop Potion could be replaced by materials from this world. Many of the materials were easy to find, but there were also a few materials that were very rare in this world, and they were very difficult to find.
Among them, a medicinal ingredient called Dead Soul Grass was one of them.
Dead Soul Grass was an extremely rare item. In this world, it only grew in a large number of graveyards or in some forbidden areas. It was a very rare item.
This thing had a very strong toxicity. Once a normal person ate it, they would immediately experience extremely strong hallucinations and die in madness. In this world, it had always been regarded as a poison.
In a certain forbidden area, Adil had obtained some of this thing, but it was a pity that there were not many of them, and he had used them a long time ago.
"Looks like I can only send people out to ask Saul and the others."
Pushing open the door of his room, Adil thought to himself as he walked.
Compared to an outsider like him, Saul and the other local nobles were the local tyrants, and it was much more convenient for them to find things than Adil.
Moreover, Dead Soul Grass was a very strong poison in this world, and it was very difficult for some nobles to hide it.
Thinking of this, he walked to another room, picked up a pen and paper, and prepared to write a letter to Saul, asking him to help him find it.
After sending the message, some good news came quickly.
After Adil promised to use the Crimson Blood and some other things in exchange, Saul very readily gave a few stalks of Dead Soul Grass in his castle to Adil, and promised to continue to help Adil look for it.
Sitting on the wooden chair in the living room, Adil looked at the black box handed to him by the messenger in front of him. He directly reached out to take it and opened it.
As soon as the black wooden box was opened, a unique aroma suddenly wafted out, and one could not help but feel refreshed.
And in the wooden box, a few black Dead Soul Grass were lying in Silence. Because too much time had passed, the water on them had evaporated, and they had begun to dry up.
Sitting on the wooden chair, smelling this unique aroma, and looking at the black Dead Soul Grass in the wooden box, Adil could not help but smile.
Although the Dead Soul Grass in front of him was not much, it was enough to refine the Soul Drop Potion. As long as his luck was not too bad, he should be able to refine a finished product.
Casually asking the messenger in front of him to leave, and holding the black box in his hand, Adil turned around and walked in the direction of his laboratory.
Not long after, he returned to the familiar laboratory, walked directly to the front of the test bench, and put down the wooden box in his hand.
In the laboratory, there were many things, all of which were materials that Adil had people specially collect. Many of them were raw materials needed for the Soul Drop Potion, and at this time, they had already been processed, so Adil did not need to spend much effort.
