"What a familiar place …"
Silence walked in front of the palace. Looking at the familiar surroundings, Adil sighed, "Almost nothing has changed here."
"Who are you?"
It was only when Adil spoke that the surrounding guards reacted. At this moment, they all surrounded Adil, their eyes filled with solemnity and vigilance.
This was the headquarters of the Southern Alliance. Not only were there guards around, there were also some simple defensive formations set up. Under normal circumstances, no matter who wanted to come in, they would definitely cause a reaction from the people around them.
But now, someone had walked into this place openly, and it didn't even cause any reaction in the process. It was only when the other party took the initiative to make a sound that it was discovered.
This was very abnormal. What did this mean? The people around had some guesses. They looked at Adil with solemn eyes, afraid that he would do something.
"Don't be so nervous."
Looking at the solemn eyes of the people around him, Adil smiled, "I am also an elder of the alliance. This time, I came here to find some people to reminisce with."
"Is Elder Kaiger inside?" He looked at a knight in front of him and asked.
"This …" Hearing Adil's words, the leader in front of him hesitated, but still said, "Elder Kaiger is inside discussing matters with the other elders …"
Just as he finished speaking, his heart suddenly jumped, and an inexplicable doubt arose in him, "What's going on? Why would I tell you all these things so easily? "
"Another regular meeting?"
Adil looked at the palace in front of him, "Just in time to solve this matter once and for all."
As he spoke, he walked forward.
"Stop!!"
Only then did the people around him react. They didn't care about anything else and directly rushed over, wanting to stop Adil.
But in the next moment, a magic field enveloped the surroundings, blocking their vision, and their minds became chaotic. They directly froze on the spot.
This was a simple use of charm magic. With Adil's current strength, dealing with a few ordinary guards who weren't even knights was naturally easy.
Walking to the palace, he once again cast a spell to conceal himself, and directly walked into the palace in front of him.
Not long after, he arrived at a large hall. He pushed open the door and walked in.
"Who is it?!" A loud shout came from the front, startling everyone.
It was a level 2 acolyte dressed in white robes, and he looked towards Adil.
The spiritual force of a Magus was very strong, and in terms of concealment, Adil could easily hide from regular guards and even Knights. However, he could be easily detected by level 2 acolytes with strong spiritual force.
However, he did not plan to hide anything. He revealed himself and his appearance.
"Elder Adil!!"
Seeing Adil's appearance, a wave of exclamations came from the crowd.
Unlike the ordinary guards in the outside world, most of the people in the palace were sorcerer-apprentices. Many of them had seen Adil before, so naturally, they could recognize him.
However, compared to the past, this time, they looked at Adil with much more solemn eyes.
Most of the people present were acolytes, and even the lowest was a level 2 acolyte. Many of them had gone to academies in the outside world to study and had seen true Magi.
At this moment, in their field of vision, Adil's entire body was emitting a kind of force field. If they looked directly at him, they could even feel a tingling sensation coming from his spirit. It gave them a feeling that was very similar to those official Sorcerers they had met before, causing their hearts to tremble.
"No … It can't be."
In that instant, many acolytes' expressions changed. They suddenly thought of a guess, but they did not dare to believe it.
After all, Adil's age was too young, and it had only been a year since he had left. If he had really advanced to an official Magus, it would be too fast.
Adil could roughly guess what the other acolytes were thinking, but he did not pay them any heed. Instead, he looked towards another corner.
There, a familiar person quickly walked out. The person in front was wearing a gray robe and a sleek top hat. It was Kaiser, the person who had introduced Adil to the Southern Alliance.
"Adil, is it really you?"
Under the gazes of many acolytes, Kaiser walked into the hall and suddenly froze. He felt an even more powerful spiritual force coming from the front, causing his expression to change to one of shock, "You … became an official Magus?"
In an instant, the surroundings became quiet. Everyone's gaze involuntarily focused on Adil.
… …
"I didn't think that in just a year, you would be able to reach this step."
In a manor, Kaiser walked on a pebbled path and looked at the handsome young man standing behind him. His expression was a little complicated, but also a little respectful.
Adil did not have any intention of pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. Ever since he had come here, he had not hidden his powerful aura, as well as some of the special traits of an official Magus.
This was to save time. In this Continent, which did not have many Magi, an official Magus' strength was enough to suppress everything. Anyone who met him could only obediently submit, so there was no need to hide.
In actuality, this was quite effective.
The moment the elders of the Southern Alliance saw Adil, their attitudes changed, and they immediately suppressed the unruly level 3 acolytes.
In order to not make Adil angry and to better establish a relationship with Adil, they had even pushed Kaiser, who was close to Adil, to be their representative to receive Adil.
In Kaige's eyes, Adil's entire body was exuding a powerful spiritual force. Wisps of energy particles instinctively surged towards the other party. The magic power contained within Adil's body was incomparably deep. Even just a fraction of it was enough to make one feel terrified.
This strength far surpassed that of a level 3 acolyte, and he was not weak even amongst official Magi. He was not one of those newly advanced Magi who had already passed their weak period.
This discovery made the Elders of the Southern Alliance tremble even more.
An official Magus' weak period after advancing would last at least half a year. Looking at Adil's current state, it was clear that he had already advanced for some time. It was possible that he had already advanced when he had just left.
"I was just lucky to reach this step."
Walking on the path, Adil's expression was calm, as if he did not feel anything, "How is Radel now?"
"Radel …"
Standing beside Adil, Kaiser's expression was somewhat bitter and regretful, "He's already dead."
"Dead?" Adil was stunned.
"That's right …"
Kaiser sighed, "He was not like those of us who were willing to hide in the corners. He was ambitious and wholeheartedly wanted to break through to become an official Magus, but in the end, he failed. His entire lifespan was burned away, and only a dried corpse was brought back."
"So it's like that …"
Hearing this news, Adil was also a little silent.
At this moment, he thought back to the scene when he had first met Radel, as well as their cooperation and trade.
The Jinnain Tree Root that he had obtained from the expedition was still being carefully preserved by Adil, but Radel had already died.
However, after thinking about it, this was normal.
Radel was already very old, and he had failed to break through to become an official Magus, so his life force had been burned away.
Even if he had found a way to recover his life force, the chances of him breaking through a second time would have been much lower than the first time. It would have been a gamble of life and death, and failure was the norm.
Standing there, the two of them fell silent until Kaiser, who was beside Adil, spoke again, "Why did you suddenly return?"
He looked at Adil, his eyes filled with curiosity and doubt.
This continent was very small and remote. Not only did it lack resources, but it also lacked powerful Magus organisations and knowledge.
Without these, any Magus would be trapped to death. Apart from a few Magi, those who still wanted to advance on the path of Magi would not choose to stay here.
With Adil's current status and power, he must have something to do for him to suddenly return.
Meeting his gaze, Adil nodded, "I'm preparing to go on a long journey, so I came here to take a look and find some information about the Mason region."
"Mason region?"
Hearing this unfamiliar term, Kaiser frowned, "That's a very far place, and it belongs to another Magus gathering place. It's quite a distance away from the southern continent.
However, that place is much more prosperous than the southern continent, and it's quite suitable for you, Adil. "
At this point, he looked at Adil's young and handsome face and could not help but smile.
The Mason region was another gathering place for Magi in this world, and it was much more prosperous than the southern continent. Not only was it rich in resources, but there were even more powerful Magi there. It was said that it was connected to the central region of the world, and there was a safe path there that attracted countless people.
"We have some records of the Mason region here. You can take a look when you get there."
Kaiser looked at Adil and said.
"Thank you," Adil nodded.
"You're welcome." Hearing Adil's words, Kaiser felt somewhat restrained, "You're an elder of the Southern Alliance, so you have the right to look at this information.
Also, if there's anything else you need in this region, we can help you to the best of our ability. "
"Help me take care of my family," Adil said.
"Of course." Kaiser nodded and made a mental note to take good care of him in the future.
Hearing his reply, Adil was also satisfied.
The reason why he had come to the Southern Alliance this time was to show off his strength, so that these people would take care of the Farcus Family for the sake of an official Magus. As for the information about the Mason region, it was just a matter of convenience.
