There were many missions recorded on the wide stone slab. Some were simple, while others were extremely complicated.
However, among these missions, there were only a few that fulfilled Adil's requirements.
[Mission: Find a unit of Colo Grass … Mission reward: Entry to the Meissen region …]
[Mission: Kill the Blood Magus Myrdor … Mission reward: Entry to the Meissen region …]
… …
Missions flashed past his eyes one after another. However, most of them were difficult to complete. If it wasn't to find some high-grade materials, then it was to hunt down some high-grade Magi.
After eliminating those that were difficult to complete and that he couldn't complete, Adil was left with two missions.
[Mission: Find an ancient bloodline … Mission reward: Entry to the Meissen region …]
[Mission: Buy magic crystals for a long period of time … Mission reward: Spell templates, high-grade knowledge, precious materials, etc …]
Looking at the two remaining missions, Adil couldn't help but sink into deep thought.
These two missions were possible for him to complete at his current stage, and he just happened to have the corresponding resources on hand.
Among them, the first mission was to offer a bounty for an ancient bloodline, and Adil had such a thing in his hands.
However, this mission posed a problem for Adil. He only had two bloodlines, the Plateau Giant and the Silver Beaumont.
Although the Plateau Giant was a powerful creature, it wasn't much to an official Magus. If he took it out, the other party might not even want it. If he took out the Silver Beaumont bloodline, it would undoubtedly meet the other party's requirements, but it would be a waste.
The Silver Beaumont was a rank 2 creature. As long as it matured, it would be comparable to a rank 2 Magus. In the northern plains, apart from the leaders of the Magus organisations, almost no one was a match for it.
If such a powerful creature's bloodline was willing to be taken out, it would definitely be worth a lot to a Magus. Using it to exchange for a slot would be a waste.
The second mission, on the other hand, coincided with Adil's preparations.
"Just nice, I'll go to the historical remains in the Frozen Mountain Range to take a look. If I can find some magic crystals, I can use them to exchange for a slot."
Standing there and looking at the stone slabs before him, Adil thought to himself, If there is nothing, I will try to find a way through the bloodline.
After making up his mind, he said something to the blonde female apprentice beside him, then turned around and walked out.
Outside the door, the wind was still howling, mixed with a little drizzle.
Feeling this, Adil looked up at the sky and continued walking in the direction he came from.
The next day, after bidding farewell to Terens, Adil hired a carriage in the city and headed out.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
On a certain early morning, the sun gently sprinkled on the earth, passing through the gaps between the leaves, revealing the time.
Bam!
With a soft sound, a carriage suddenly stopped on the deserted road.
"Master, there seems to be a problem with the carriage wheels."
After alighting from the carriage, the coachman in charge of driving the carriage checked the condition of the carriage before walking to the carriage at the back and speaking to Adil.
His tone was very light and respectful.
As a resident of West Wind City, he knew of the existence of Magi, and he also knew that the person in the carriage was a mysterious and powerful Magus. Hence, he did not dare to be negligent.
Of course, Adil's much more generous salary than usual was another reason why he was so serious.
"Stu, where are we?" A voice sounded from the carriage.
Sitting in the spacious and luxurious carriage, Adil opened his eyes and walked out of the carriage while asking the coachman outside.
"We have arrived at the Tristar Province, about seven or eight days away from the Frozen Mountain Range."
The coachman smiled as he watched Adil get out of the carriage. He said to Adil, "There's a town called Maple Town nearby. It's very famous. Every year at this time, there will be many foreign caravans coming here. Sometimes, you can even see some Sir Knights."
"Oh?"
Hearing the coachman's words, Adil's interest was piqued, "Why is that?"
"This place has a unique specialty called the Luminous Mushroom. It is said that not only does it taste good, but it is also very beneficial to the body if eaten often. It is a very expensive item."
While repairing the carriage, the coachman Stu turned around and said, "As for why the Knights came, it is because of some rumors in this town."
"It's said that there's a garden in the depth of this forest. There's a very tall tree in the garden. The tree would bear some fruits from time to time. If someone could eat these fruits, he or she would immediately become a real knight."
At this point, Stu also smiled, "But this is only a rumor. No one knows the specifics, but there are indeed some Knights coming here every year."
"Interesting."
Adil's face showed an expression of interest, "If the route is correct, this Nightwood Maple Town should not be far from us."
"Let's go to this town next. I want to take a look there."
"As you wish."
The coachman tidied up the things on the ground and looked at Adil, "The wheels have been repaired, Sir, you can go up now."
Nodding casually, Adil boarded the carriage and continued on their way.
But with Adil's previous words, they deviated slightly from the route this time and went to another small road.
They walked from dawn to dusk before a new town appeared in front of them.
There were many caravans entering the town, bringing their own goods with them, making the town look even more prosperous.
Walking on the busy road, although there were many people going in and out, Adil's group was still rather eye-catching.
Not to mention the few large horses that obviously had an extraordinary bloodline pulling the carriage, just the carriage itself would probably cost hundreds of gold coins.
Under the gazes of the people around, the carriage drove into the town and stopped in front of a hotel that seemed to have good business.
After arriving here, Adil got off the carriage and walked into the hotel ahead.
"Sir, what can I do for you?"
Walking into the inn, a young-looking waiter walked up to him. At this time, he looked at Adil with a face full of smiles.
"Arrange two of the best rooms for me, and also help me clean up those few horses."
Adil said as he looked at the waiter who was walking over.
After a while, under the lead of a little girl that seemed to be no more than 10 years old, Adil walked to his room and put down his luggage.
"Those few people just now, they are all Knight apprentices."
After lightly closing the door and walking to the balcony of the room, Adil thought to himself.
Although it was just a glance, when he entered the hotel, he did indeed see quite a few people. They were all Senior Knight apprentices, and one of them was about to activate his life seed.
"Luminous Fruit, huh … From the looks of these few knights, there seems to be a possibility of that happening."
Standing in the same place, thinking about the legend that he heard before, Adil muttered to himself. He couldn't help but think to himself, "To be able to turn an ordinary person into a Knight, I wonder if it would have any effect on official Wizards."
While waiting and meditating, time passed very quickly.
At night, Adil walked to the balcony and saw a strange scene.
In the forest outside of the town, a faint light was being emitted. It was very gentle, making people think of fireflies in summer, emitting a faint light in a dark space.
If one looked carefully, they would see that those were mushrooms emitting a faint white light. Right now, they were emitting light in the forest, looking very conspicuous.
This was also a strange scene in Nightwind Town. When the Luminous Mushrooms matured, they would emit a faint light at night, looking very beautiful at night. It was a very famous scene in the vicinity.
Right now, it was already night time, the surroundings were pitch black, covering the whole town.
However, when the Luminous Mushrooms started to emit light, many torches were lit in the town, crowding around each other as they walked out of the town.
Those were the mushroom-gatherers of the town.
Luminous Mushrooms only grew in the forest near Nightwind Town, and before they completely matured, they wouldn't appear on the ground, making it impossible to find them. If one wanted to collect them, they would have to wait until night time, when the Luminous Mushrooms emitted light.
Being able to emit light meant that the Luminous Mushrooms had already matured. If they didn't collect them in the next few days, they would no longer be able to find them after this period, and they would have to wait until next year.
Standing on the balcony, with his sharp vision, Adil could clearly see the Knight apprentices from before.
They were also holding torches, crowding around each other. They had all changed into the black linen clothes that the locals used to collect mushrooms, and on the surface, they looked no different from the people around them.
Seeing that they also walked out, Adil smiled and also walked out.
He didn't wander around randomly. Instead, he followed the footsteps of the knights in front of him and moved forward.
In the beginning, their path was quite normal, and they would occasionally take the opportunity to pick some mushrooms, casually putting them in their small bags.
However, as they walked further and further, they even entered the depths of the forest outside.
At this place, the number of people in the surroundings immediately decreased by a lot, but the faint light in the surroundings became denser.
Compared to other places, the number of Luminous Mushrooms in this place was a lot more, but being in the depths of the forest, it was very possible to meet many dangerous beasts in the surroundings, so other than some brave people, very few people would come here.
Casually walking on the road, following far behind the Knight apprentices, Adil lowered his head and plucked a mushroom from the ground. After confirming that it wasn't poisonous, he directly put it in his mouth and took a bite.
A faint sweetness came from his mouth, bringing with it a dense aroma, making one unable to resist the urge to finish eating it.
[Detected active substance … If used for a long period of time, it can slightly increase vitality …] In his mind, the A.I. Chip's robotic voice sounded.
"Good stuff, but it's a pity that it's already useless to me now."
