Faint smoke rose in the spacious laboratory, accompanied by a slight fragrance.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At the door of the laboratory, a series of light knocking sounds could be heard, followed by a series of footsteps.
"Come in!"
Adil's voice sounded out, followed by a clear sound coming from outside the door.
Following a creaking sound, the door of the laboratory was quickly opened, and two acolytes wearing black robes with jadeite patterns walked in with a respectful expression on their faces, "Lord Adil, we are here to collect this month's quota."
"Eh? There are still more than 10 days until the potion delivery, right? "
Hearing the voice, Adil turned his head, his expression a little confused.
"This … I am very sorry."
The black-robed acolyte had a troubled expression on his face, "The frontline is in a tight situation, Lord Aeolia has already urged us more than once to gather the supplies, so …"
"This again?"
Hearing this, Adil frowned, but he still stopped what he was doing and walked to the cabinet at the side.
From the cabinet, he took out a large emerald green box and placed it on the wooden table at the side.
"20 strengthening potions, 10 spirit dispelling potions, 10 flying dragon blood."
Adil looked at the acolyte in front of him, "This month's quota is here, remember to come back next month."
"Yes, sorry to disturb you, Lord."
Hearing Adil's words, the two black-robed acolytes hurriedly explained, then walked forward and opened the green box lightly.
The moment the box was opened, a faint light was emitted from within, and tens of potions were displayed within, looking very beautiful.
After seeing these tens of potions, the two black-robed acolytes immediately heaved a sigh of relief, rejoicing in their hearts, "Seems like there shouldn't be a problem gathering this time's quota."
After inspecting the potions and confirming that there were no problems, they handed over the potions to Adil, then bowed to Adil and hurriedly left.
Standing in the spacious laboratory, looking at the backs of the two acolytes, Adil couldn't help but shake his head, "Seems like the war this time is very intense."
It had been half a year since he joined the Emerald Hand. During this time, not only did Adil integrate into the Emerald Hand, but he also accepted a task to refine potions.
Compared to the other missions, this mission was very suitable for Adil. As long as he could produce a fixed number of potions every once in a while, he would be able to fulfill the mission. It didn't take too much time, and the reward was very generous. It was very suitable for a wizard like Adil who had a high success rate in potion-making.
In the headquarters of the Jade Hand, aside from refining potions to earn Black Coins, Adil would usually exchange for various high-level knowledge or communicate with other Sorcerers. In the past six months, he had made quite a name for himself. Even some wizards from other organizations had heard of him.
This kind of life was originally very stable, but from the recent situation, it seemed that it would soon end.
After packing up his things, Adil walked out of the room.
Just as he walked out of the door of the laboratory, a roar came from afar.
"The last batch of potions was just delivered a few days ago! How dare you bother me again!! "
A frenzied roar came from the laboratory at the side. The voice had a hint of insanity, and there were fluctuations from a force field.
In a laboratory not far from Adil, the two black-robed acolytes who had come looking for Adil were flung away. They flew for a distance of 5 to 6 metres before falling heavily on the ground with a dull thud.
From Adil's line of sight, he could even see a strange man in a black robe standing at the side with a sinister expression, slamming the door shut.
Lightly shaking his head, Adil felt some sympathy for the two acolytes who had been flung away.
Not every Magus was as easy to talk to as Adil. Because of the long periods of time spent in laboratories conducting various experiments, many official Magi had more or less warped and extreme mentalities. If they were not careful, they would explode.
Not caring about this matter, Adil glanced at the area and then walked towards a certain path.
After he left, the door to the laboratory behind him automatically closed, tightly shut.
After leaving the laboratory, Adil quickly walked to another area.
This was a small villa located on a plain.
Unlike the previous laboratory, although this villa was also located in the headquarters of the Jade Hand, it was Adil's private property. He had bought it a few months ago to use it as a place for his private experiments.
Walking to the door of the villa, there was already someone waiting for him there.
It was a middle-aged Magus in a red robe with a mustache. After seeing Adil's figure, he walked over with an enthusiastic expression, "Adil, you're finally back."
"Teris, long time no see!"
Looking at this person, a smile appeared on Adil's face. "Are you here to bring me good news?"
"Of course, it's definitely good news for you."
A smile appeared on Teris' face.
"Oh, I'm looking forward to it."
Hearing this person say this, Adil was obviously a little curious.
The person in front of him was also a member of the Jade Hand, but unlike Adil, who was a new member, this Magus had been in the Jade Hand for a long time and seemed to have some connections. He could get a lot of rare things, such as a lot of rare slaves.
"Come, my friend. I believe that this time I will satisfy you."
Teris clapped his hands and then walked to the side with Adil.
After walking for a long time, they reached a platform and stopped. He pointed around and said, "Adil, look at the goods around here! These were just transported from the battlefield. "
Only then did Adil look around him.
On the empty platform, there were huge black cages. The cages were made of special alchemy materials and had special small spell formations on them for suppression.
Silent creatures of all shapes and sizes sat in these black cages. Some were humans, some were orcs, and some were merfolk. It looked like a hodgepodge.
In one of the cages, Adil detected a certain aura, which caused his expression to change. "An official Magus! You can even get your hands on an official Magus? "
"Of course it's not a living official Magus."
Seeing Adil's surprise, Teris shook his head. "I can't get my hands on a living official Magus. There are only two corpses here, and they're badly damaged."
Hearing this, Adil's expression returned to normal, and he followed Teris to the front.
When they reached the huge black cages, Adil could clearly see what was inside.
There were two corpses that looked extremely miserable. One belonged to a human, but its head was missing. There were also many parts of its body and organs that were badly damaged. It looked like it was a bloody mess.
As for the other one, it belonged to a female lizard wearing leather armor. Her body was also covered in blood. It seemed that she had died from some powerful spell when she was alive.
"These two corpses were seized from the frontline. I happened to be in the area, and I knew that you needed these things, so I secretly bought them at a high price."
Speaking of this, a proud smile appeared on Teris' face. "What do you think of this?"
"Name a price." Looking at the two corpses, Adil opened his mouth and said.
"One hundred Black Coins." Looking at Adil, Teris gave a price.
"Are you kidding me?" Adil calmly looked at Teris.
"Of course not."
Teris shrugged. "My price has always been fair. Since I'm giving you this price, I'm sure you'll be satisfied."
As he spoke, he walked to the side of the cage and tore off the black cloth covering the cage, revealing the thing inside.
Faint cold air rose continuously, and an ice coffin was revealed in front of Adil.
Inside the ice coffin that was emitting cold air, a naked female elf's corpse was lying in Silence. Her heart was pierced through by a dagger.
"This is …"
When looking at the female elf's corpse, Adil's expression immediately became solemn.
"The corpse of an elf royal. The ancient moon elf's faint bloodline runs in her body. This is a precious material that is very difficult to obtain."
Teris snapped his fingers. "How is it?"
"I'm very satisfied."
Looking at Teris, a smile appeared on Adil's face.
… …
"Has the war at the frontline become so intense?"
After finishing the transaction, while the servants were transporting the corpses, Adil asked.
"Yes." Teris sighed. "In the past half a year, I've been shuttling back and forth on the frontline. The horrifying things left behind on the battlefield made me feel terrified."
"The lizardmen have already gone berserk. The Swamp Kingdom has declared war on us, and they have joined forces with the dark wizards of the Ordo Province to attack us. The beastmen in the north have also gone berserk, and they are currently fighting against the Blackthorn Academy in the north. "
"The same is true for the elves in the Silver Mist Forest in the south. It seems that they also have the intention of emerging recently. They are constantly gathering information in the surroundings, and it seems that they are still hesitating."
Speaking of this, Teris also had a helpless expression.
Unlike other regions, although the wizards in Merson region were more powerful, the conflicts were also more intense. Conflicts between various races and even different wizard organizations would often erupt, and wars were a common occurrence.
"In short, you should also make some preparations."
Teris reminded Adil. "Recently, the situation in the surroundings has become more and more chaotic. Although our Jade Hand is still relatively stable, it seems that there have been some movements recently."
"Organizations are also participating in the war?" Adil frowned.
"I'm not sure yet." Teris smiled bitterly. "How can an official wizard like me know about the matters of the higher-ups? At most, I'm just relying on the information I received in the past, and I received the news a little faster than you guys."
