At noon, the sun shone on a mountain range, bringing warmth to the land.
Walking in the desolate mountain area, sitting on the carriage, Adil quickly arrived at the town in front.
Similar to the information that he saw before, this place seemed very desolate, the surrounding buildings were very dilapidated, the clothes of the residents were also very shabby, it seemed that their lives weren't very good.
After arriving here, under the lead of the coachman, Adil walked to the only inn in the town.
"What? The most central room has already been booked by someone? "
In front of the counter of the inn, Adil's coachman stood in front of the counter and was currently arguing with a bald middle-aged man, "There isn't even a single room left?"
"This … I'm really sorry."
Standing in front of the counter, the bald man wore a set of coarse clothes and looked at the coachman with a difficult expression, "We also don't know what is going on, recently, the number of people coming to our inn has suddenly increased, two days ago, there just happened to be a lord who booked all of the rooms."
"How about, you guys stay in the room on the top floor, I guarantee that it will be as suitable as the room in the middle."
"Forget it, when night comes, it becomes cold here, how can staying on the top floor be the same as the room in the middle."
Looking at the bald man, the coachman still wanted to argue with him, but suddenly, he heard Adil's voice.
"Stu, forget it, we will stay on the top floor."
Looking at the coachman in front, Adil immediately stopped their argument.
To him, there was no difference between staying on the top floor and staying in the middle, just a little bit of cold was nothing to an official Wizard.
At this moment, a series of footsteps suddenly came from afar.
Casually looking towards that direction, Adil suddenly went into a daze.
On the stairs in front of him, a figure suddenly appeared.
It was a tall girl wearing a black and red robe, she looked very young, had a head of long red hair, and looked very eye-catching.
Just that, her appearance was very familiar to Adil, impressively, it was Ciesti who left Bar Islands together with him.
Five to six years had passed, she had changed quite a bit, although her face still looked a bit immature, compared to the past, she had matured a lot.
From her body, Adil could also sense a weak fluctuation of energy particles, from the looks of it, she had already reached level 2 acolyte.
"What is she doing here?"
Standing on the spot, Adil frowned as he watched Ciesti walk down the stairs from afar. He felt that something was wrong.
He sensed a strange aura from the other party's body, and the other party's movements were also very stiff.
"A.I. Chip, scan his body's data!"
Looking at him, Adil spoke to the A.I. Chip in his mind.
"Name: Ciesti. Power: 2.7 Agility: 3.3 Physique: 3.1.
"Detected an unknown aura, after comparing it with the database … Morra's Parasitism Technique 84.1%, Greater Control Technique 78.4%, Berserk Magic Potion 75.6% …" In his mind, the A.I. Chip's mechanical voice sounded again.
"None of them are anything good …"
Listening to the A.I. Chip's prompt, Adil could not help but mutter to himself.
Whether it was Greater Mind Control or the Morraean Parasite, they were both rather difficult to deal with in the wizarding world. They could forcibly control others to a certain extent.
If the other party did not have the ability to resist, even a level 3 acolyte would be controlled by an official Magus.
However, these two spells were rather difficult to use. The Morra's Parasitism Technique required one to cultivate a rare parasite, while the Greater Control Technique required one to carve a complicated spell formation on the other party's body to ensure control. These were not spells that an official Magus would use.
Looking at Ciesti, it was obvious that she was being controlled by someone, which was why her body was emitting such a unique aura.
Standing on the spot, Adil watched Qianstei walk out of the door. After hesitating for a while, he didn't walk forward. Instead, he turned around with his back facing Qianstei and glanced at the corner with the corner of his eyes.
Under Adil's gaze, Ciesti, who was dressed in red, walked out of the door.
Outside the door, a group of people walked in. The one leading them was a female acolyte dressed in a black robe. She had a head full of black hair, but her eyes were cold and gloomy, like the eyes of a snake.
Her aura was very powerful, at the level of a level 3 acolyte. Behind her, there were a few other acolytes whose movements were also somewhat stiff as they silently followed behind her.
At the very end of the line, a handsome young man with shiny blonde hair, wearing leather armor, silently followed behind. His movements looked very stiff.
This was Andrew, someone that Adil was familiar with. Back then, like Ciesti, he was one of Adil's few friends.
Right now, his movements were quite stiff, and it seemed that he was also being controlled. There was no expression on his face, and he only nodded at Ciesti.
"Where's Lord Ramon?" A sharp voice sounded out.
In front of Andrew, the black-haired female acolyte expressionlessly looked at Ciesti and asked.
"Lord Ramon and Lord Mirdo are together, and they're discussing something upstairs …"
Looking at the female acolyte in front of her, Ciesti's expression was wooden as she softly said.
They chatted for a while, and then the black-haired female acolyte directly walked up the stairs, leaving the other acolytes behind.
"What are you looking at?"
After the other acolytes left, Andrew looked at Ciesti and asked.
"That person's back view … seems a bit familiar."
Looking at a certain corner, looking at the back view of a person dressed in a black robe, Ciesti muttered, "It looks a bit like Adil."
Under her gaze, that thin and weak looking person in a black robe suddenly turned around, revealing a broad, bearded middle-aged face.
"Eh … Alright."
Looking at this scene, Andrew shrugged and revealed a somewhat difficult smile, "Speaking of which, I wonder how Adil is doing now … Ever since he accepted the mission to investigate the mutated beastmen, we rarely receive any news from him."
"However, with his talent, he should be advancing to a level 3 acolyte soon, unlike us …"
At this point, Andrew's eyes dimmed, and he looked a little dispirited.
Time had changed many things. In Adil's past impression, Andrew had always been a confident and arrogant person, but now, he looked very dispirited, and even a little numb.
Ciesti, who was at the side, felt the same. At this moment, she thought about everything in the past, and then thought about her current situation, and her eyes dimmed.
However, they did not notice that in the corner that they had been staring at, the appearance of the black-robed middle-aged man suddenly changed when they were no longer looking at him. He once again turned into the appearance of a handsome youth.
Silently walking to the corner, Adil used the A.I. Chip to observe the situation of Andrew and Carolyte, and he could not help but frown.
Evidently, not only Ciesti, even Andrew and the other acolytes from before had been controlled by someone. Furthermore, this person's strength was not low, and it was very likely that he had reached the level of an official Magus.
This discovery immediately made Adil feel that it was a little troublesome.
He did not think that an official Magus would bring such a large group of acolytes to such a secluded place just to relax and take a stroll.
The other party should have their own goals, and it was very likely that they had the same goal as Adil.
Thinking about this, after a while, Adil walked up the stairs and headed to his room.
Only after a few hours did he walk down the stairs, and sat alone in the corner of the inn, eating his dinner.
The dinner looked very sumptuous. Not only was there the local green bread, there were also some local wild animals, and the taste was very good.
However, sitting in front of the wooden table, Adil's attention was not on the dinner.
