"What are you doing here?"
Hearing the footsteps coming from behind him, Adil turned around and saw the young man from before running towards him with a frightened expression. The young man was currently panting heavily, as if he had been chased by something for a long time.
"Huhuhu …"
Hearing Adil's voice, the young man came back to his senses and withdrew from his frightened state.
At this moment, the burning sensation in his chest had already subsided. Facing the gazes of Adil and the others, he was still in a state of shock and hurriedly found an excuse, "My lord, I am an orphan and will soon not be able to eat. I hope that my lord can take me in."
As he spoke, he clenched his teeth and knelt down without hesitation. The frightened expression on his face immediately disappeared and was replaced with a resolute and sincere expression.
"How dare you!!"
Before Adil could open his mouth, the expressions of the two guards beside Adil changed and they immediately berated him, causing the young man in front of him to feel nervous.
"Interesting."
Waving his hand to stop the guards from berating him, Adil looked at the young man in front of him and was a little surprised, "He's actually an acolyte Knight."
Previously, because he didn't pay attention, Adil didn't observe carefully. However, after focusing his attention, the data of the young man's body was immediately revealed by the A.I. Chip. He was obviously an acolyte Knight.
Suddenly, he froze for a moment. In the depths of his soul, a faint palpitation came, causing him to be moved.
That was the power of his transmigration ability. At this moment, he didn't know what it sensed, but it started to react.
And the source of this reaction came from not far away.
Following his senses, Adil looked down at his feet and saw a purple stone.
This stone was round and completely purple. It was the thing that the young man in front of him was holding in his hand earlier. When he was running at high speed, it coincidentally fell down and landed at Adil's feet.
Looking at the purple stone at his feet, Adil hesitated for a moment and bent down to pick it up.
A warm current quickly spread from the palm of his hand and spread throughout his entire body.
In this instant, the power that had been accumulated in the depths of Adil's soul suddenly increased, and it was still growing.
In just a short amount of time, the increase in strength was almost the same as the strength that Adil had accumulated in the past half a month. Adil was stunned and could not help but turn to look at the young man in front of him. "What's your name?"
"Saul!"
Hearing Adil's words, the young man replied without hesitation. He then raised his head slightly and looked at Adil, looking a little uneasy.
"Saul, right? Not bad."
Adil nodded calmly. No one could tell what he was thinking.
But after hearing his words, Saul's heart couldn't help but tighten. He almost thought that he had exposed something.
Before he could think further, Adil's voice came again.
"Bring him along."
As if it was a casual action, Adil spoke calmly and then turned to look ahead. It seemed that he did not pay much attention to the young man in front of him.
Behind him, the guards looked at each other. In the end, they did not dare to disobey Adil's orders and brought the young man named Saul along.
But even so, as they walked, they still paid some attention to the young man in front of them. It seemed that their suspicions had not lessened.
Very quickly, a few days passed.
One morning, in a spacious laboratory, Adil stood in front of the experiment table, holding the purple stone in his hand.
"It's just an ordinary stone?"
After repeatedly examining the stone in his hand, a trace of doubt flashed in Adil's eyes.
In the past few days, he had examined the purple stone several times. But no matter how he examined it, the final result was the same. It was just an ordinary stone. At most, its color was purer.
This conclusion surprised Adil. "It seems that it's not a problem with the material itself, but something else.
"Looks like I'll have to start with that young man."
The energy contained in this stone was of great help to Adil. Just the energy that this purple stone brought to Adil was equivalent to the energy that Adil had accumulated in a year.
If he could find the reason for the increase in energy, it would be of great help to Adil.
At the very least, if he wanted to cross worlds in the future, he would not need to wait for the energy to be stored.
At this thought, Adil could not help but look at his stats.
[Name: Adil Farcus. Strength: 17.8. Agility: 18.7. Vitality: 18.4. Spirit: 20.1. Spiritual force purity: 7.9%.]
[Unknown energy digitization complete. Update data?] The A.I. Chip's robotic voice sounded in his mind again.
"Has the update been completed?"
Hearing the A.I. Chip's prompt, Adil was a little surprised, but he still said, "Update immediately!"
In the next moment, streams of green data appeared in front of him, forming a new stats panel.
[Name: Adil Farcus. Strength: 17.8. Agility: 18.7. Vitality: 18.4. Spirit: 20.1. Spiritual force purity: 7.9%.] Unknown energy: 3.5.]
Looking at the new stats panel, Adil nodded.
Digitizing the energy needed to cross worlds was something that Adil had always wanted to do. It was just that things in the soul were too difficult to detect. The energy was too secretive, making it difficult for the A.I. Chip to detect it.
It was only when the energy contained in the purple stone was detected by the A.I. Chip that the digitization of this energy was completed and appeared on the stats panel.
According to the standard set by Adil, he would use the amount of energy he had accumulated in a year as a unit. 3.5 points of energy represented all the energy that an official Magus could accumulate in three and a half years.
"This energy can be used to cross worlds. Let's call it World Energy."
After thinking for a while, Adil muttered to himself.
Following his command, the unknown energy displayed on the stats panel in front of him slowly disappeared, replaced by the new attribute of World Energy.
After doing this, Adil got up and walked out.
Outside the gate was a beautifully decorated garden. In the garden, the young man named Sol was standing there, holding a pair of scissors and cutting plants from time to time.
Compared to a few days ago, there were obvious changes on his body. The originally tattered linen robe had been replaced by a clean white robe. He looked much cleaner, no longer in a sorry state.
Seeing Adil's figure walking over, Sol hurriedly put down the construction tools in his hands and looked respectfully in front of him. "Lord Adil!"
"Hmm, looks like you've recovered well."
A smile appeared on Adil's face. He was wearing a platinum robe. Coupled with his handsome appearance and gentle expression, he looked very amiable. He could not help but have a good impression of him.
Without waiting for Sol to speak, he handed over the purple stone in his hand. "This is yours, right?"
"Yes," Sol instinctively took the purple stone from Adil and nodded.
"This stone is a little strange."
Looking at Sol's appearance, Adil nodded. "Although it's just an ordinary stone, there's a special aura on it. It's a little different from ordinary stones."
"This stone, where did you get it from?" Leylin asked. Although his eyes were calm, deep down, he was very concerned.
In front of him, Sol was stunned. After hearing Adil's words, his pupils constricted, and the arm that was holding the stone trembled subconsciously.
This detail was clearly seen by Adil through the A.I. Chip, but he did not say anything. He only looked at Sol in Silence, waiting for him to speak.
After a moment of silence, Sol said, "This stone is something I brought from my hometown. It's a sacrificial stone that was specially mined by the elders in my family. It's usually used for sacrificial ceremonies. It's said that holding it on the body can protect one's safety, so I always carry one with me."
At this point, he could not help but touch his head. "As for why it's different from ordinary stones, maybe it's because the environment in my hometown is too harsh."
"That's also possible."
Adil nodded, seeming to accept this explanation. He then smiled and said, "After this war ends, if there's a chance, I can send you back to your hometown and study the environment there."
After that, he patted Saul's shoulder and left.
"Whew …"
After a while, after seeing Adil leave, Sol let out a sigh of relief.
"Lord Adil's might is too strong."
Standing where he was, Sol could not help but sigh as he thought about that feeling.
Although Adil had always been gentle and kind in public, Saul could feel the powerful power and the suffocating pressure from him. It was something he had never felt before.
As a Wanderer, he naturally knew what this meant.
This meant that Leylin's power was too terrifying, and the difference in their levels of life was too great.
If it wasn't for the fact that Lord Adil did not have any ill intentions, Sol would not have dared to stand in front of Adil.
"This is also good. At least with Lord Adil's aura, those things won't dare to come find me for the time being."
Thinking about this, Sol could not help but sigh.
After neatly trimming the flowers and plants in the area, he put the tools aside and walked out.
When he reached the gate, the guard at the gate glanced at him coldly, then turned his gaze to the side and ignored him.
Stepping through the door, he walked out with familiarity.
After the war with the lizardmen, the city was filled with the smell of blood. The inner city where the nobles lived was fine, but the outer city was filled with the smell of blood.
There were many corpses everywhere, and there were beggars everywhere. There were also many people with purple skin walking around, making the entire place look miserable.
Walking quietly outside the city, Sol looked at the scene in front of him with a heavy heart.
He gave the few copper coins he had to a few beggars. Soon, he walked to a corner of a certain street.
At a familiar place, he saw a person lying on the ground.
It was a person wearing a tattered red robe. He was lying on the ground, and it was unknown whether he was still breathing or not.
Seeing this, Sol's heart tightened, "Aydi, are you still there?"
He shouted loudly. At the same time, he quickly walked to the side of the person in the red robe and flipped the person's body over.
The moment he saw the person's face, his heart skipped a beat, and his face became pale as he sat on the ground.
In front of him, there was a black skeleton wrapped in a tattered red robe in Silence, looking very strange.
In Sol's eyes, the black skeleton was still emitting a weak black aura, which was continuously spreading in all directions. Quite a bit of the black aura crawled up Sol's body and spread to his body.
"Aydi … even you …"
Looking at the corpse that had turned into a black skeleton, Sol clenched his teeth, "I can't die yet!"
He pushed the skeleton away with his foot, then got up and ran to the next place without looking back.
Very quickly, Sol arrived at the next place.
It was another small alley, and there were also a few people lying on the ground, causing Sol's heart to ache.
He quickly ran to the front of the few people and looked at their faces.
There were a total of 3 people, 2 of them had already turned into black skeletons, and the last person, although his face was also very black and emitted black aura in Sol's eyes, was still breathing.
"Sol, you … are still alive?"
A faintly discernible voice sounded out from the mouth of the last person.
Feeling the aura beside him, the last person opened his eyes and looked towards Sol with a pair of turbid and lifeless eyes, "Don't mind me … Yana, she … is still alive."
While speaking, his hand trembled as he pointed towards a certain direction, looking as if he had used up all of his strength.
"Yana …"
Sol silently stood up and looked at the direction that the other person was pointing towards. Sol quickly ran over and searched everywhere as if he had gone mad.
Finally, in a certain corner, he found a girl who was on the verge of death.
This girl was also wearing a tattered red robe, and her entire body was dirty and emitted a foul smell.
However, Saul didn't mind at all. He hugged the girl and looked at her face.
On the girl's forehead, a black mark appeared very clearly, and it seemed to have a mysterious and ominous aura.
"Yana …"
Looking at the mark on the girl's forehead, Sol was immediately stunned.
"Big brother Sol …"
In front of him, the girl opened her eyes with difficulty, and after seeing Sol, she let out a dying voice, as if she had used up all of her strength, "The mark on my body … is about to explode."
"It's fine! You will be fine! "
Hearing the girl's voice, Sol continuously muttered to himself, not knowing who he was talking to.
"What should I do? What should I do! "
This question continuously echoed in his mind, and in the end, he hugged the girl tightly and ran out as if he had gone mad.
"The mark is about to explode! Right now, the only thing that can save Yana is … "
He frantically ran out, and not long later, he ran in front of the gate of a manor.
"Stop!"
Just when he reached the gate, a voice sounded out.
