In front of the gate of the manor, Saul's expression remained unchanged as he looked at the two guards blocking his way, "Move aside! This girl is what Lord Adil wants! "
"Heh …"
One of the guards let out a cold laugh, "If Lord Adil wants women, there are plenty of young and beautiful girls who are willing to climb onto his bed. Why would he fancy the girl in your arms?"
"You can go and ask Lord Adil yourself!"
Saul's expression remained unchanged as he looked straight at the guard without showing any signs of fear.
"You …"
Looking at Saul's expression, the two guards couldn't help but hesitate, but they still didn't move aside.
Saul's expression remained unchanged as he looked at their hesitant expressions. However, his back was almost completely drenched in sweat, and it was evident that he was also very nervous.
"Let him in." A voice came from afar, causing them to shift their attention.
Following the voice, they looked into the distance.
In that direction, a handsome young man who was wearing a black robe was standing together with another man who was wearing a noble's robe. Both of them had a calm expression on their faces and seemed to be admiring flowers.
"This …"
Looking at Adil who was standing in the distance, the two guards hesitated for a while, but in the end, they still moved aside and allowed Saul to enter.
Raising his head and looking at Adil who was standing in the distance, Saul lowered his head somewhat guiltily and hurriedly walked to the other side, not daring to stay in Adil's line of sight for too long.
Silence stood in the garden and watched as Saul left. Meanwhile, Adil stood in Silence and didn't say anything.
"What an interesting child." On the side, an aged and somewhat hoarse voice sounded.
Looking at Saul who was carrying a girl in the distance, a middle-aged man with a tall and sturdy figure sighed with a bit of nostalgia in his eyes.
"I can tell that there should be some stories about this child."
On the side, looking at the middle-aged man beside him, Adil smiled and said, "Lord Adra, why do you have the time to visit me today?"
"Don't say that." Adra laughed straightforwardly, "Adil, you are my most respected guest. Since you have come to my territory, I naturally have to properly entertain you."
"Perhaps." Adil shook his head, "Have you dealt with that group of lizardmen?"
"I'm fine for now."
Adra said, "Compared to us, they don't have an advantage in terms of strength. They've been hiding there all this time. It looks like they're preparing to confront us for a long time."
"What's the situation outside?" Adil asked.
"Very bad." Adra shook his head. "Our situation here is still fine, but the Guno Kingdom in the east has collapsed. It is said that except for a little girl who survived, the rest of the royal family has been slaughtered. Large areas of land and resources have been occupied by the Swamp Kingdom.
"The Dark Sorcerers in the south are also restless. It is said that they have formed a Dark Sorcerer Alliance during this time. Now, they have joined forces with the Swamp Kingdom and are frantically attacking."
"Of course, these things have nothing to do with us for now."
At this point, he smiled and said, "The other places are all fighting, and the forces of the Swamp Kingdom are all tied up in other battlefields, so it's impossible for them to send wizards to our remote place."
Hearing this, Adil didn't say anything. He just nodded in Silence.
"In a few days, I will hold a banquet to celebrate the defeat of those damned lizardmen, and also to welcome you."
After a while, Adra spoke again, "Don't be in a hurry to refuse. There will be many wizards attending the banquet. Although they are all apprentices, they are still part of our circle, and they represent the wizard families around here.
You still have to stay here for a while. If you need anything during this time, you may have to deal with these families. "
"Alright." Hearing this, Adil nodded in agreement.
After a while, they chatted for a while, and then Adra walked out.
Adil stood in the garden alone in Silence, quietly looking at the surrounding scenery.
On the other side.
"Damn it! It's useless! "
In the narrow room, Sol looked at the girl lying on the bed. He was sweating profusely, and he sat on a wooden chair next to him.
Lying on the bed in Silence, the girl's appearance was a bit different from before. The tattered red robe that she was wearing had been changed, and the dirt on her face had been carefully wiped off, revealing a pretty face.
Silent, she was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, and only the black mark on her forehead was still there, and the color seemed to be a lot darker than before.
Seeing the girl's appearance, Sol clenched his teeth, stood up from the wooden chair, and continued to walk to the bed. He quickly stretched out his rough big hand.
A touch of faint white light appeared in his palm. As he used all his strength, the light in his hand became more and more obvious, shining on the girl's forehead, making the black mark fade a bit.
This situation lasted for a while. After a while, the white light in Sol's palm disappeared, and his whole body was lying on the ground as if he was paralyzed. As if he had used up all his strength, he sat on the ground and gasped for breath.
Without the suppression of the white light, the black mark on the girl's forehead continued to deepen, and its range also slowly expanded. There was a kind of evil power on it, attracting people's attention.
"This won't do …"
Looking at the continuously expanding mark on the girl's forehead, a look of despair appeared on Sol's face, "The curse is about to erupt, and my power is unable to suppress it."
Bang!
A strange sound came from outside the door.
Subconsciously, Sol looked out and saw a scene that made him feel horrified.
The wooden door lightly trembled, giving off creaking sounds.
Outside the door, a black shadow was slowly gathering, looking like an emissary that had returned from hell, causing Sol's body to tremble.
In the next moment, Sol's vision blurred, and all the abnormalities that he had seen disappeared.
A burning sensation rose up from his chest, causing him to barely calm down, and his eyes became clear again, "Time is almost up, I cannot stay here any longer, or else I will definitely be affected by the eruption of the mark."
"But Yana, she …"
He turned around and looked at the girl on the bed. On the girl's forehead, a black mark was continuously spreading, and it had already spread to her neck.
After going through a similar process, Sol knew that this was a sign that the mark was about to erupt. Once the mark spread to the entire body, it would completely erupt.
Thinking to there, Sol gritted his teeth and walked outside.
Time continuously passed, and as the sky became darker, the burning sensation in Sol's chest became more and more intense.
Cold winds continuously blew, and under the illumination of the torches, Sol saw a black-clothed figure holding a sickle.
His entire body was covered by a black robe, and there were also waves of black aura covering his body, making it impossible to see anything. Right now, the figure was walking over in Silence.
Time seemed to have stopped, and within the spacious manor, the guards who had been guarding the gate were all gone. Everything was silent, and only Sol and the black-clothed figure were left.
Silence hid in the garden, and looking at the black-clothed figure, Sol's eyes were filled with terror. The burning sensation in his chest continuously rose, and within the depths of his body, something that had been suppressed for a long time was affected and was about to erupt.
A very itchy feeling assaulted his entire body, and on his forehead, affected by an unknown power, a faint mark appeared. It looked exactly the same as the mark on the girl's forehead, just much fainter.
This mark seemed to have been suppressed by something, and even though it had been drawn out by an external power, it was still suppressed. In the end, it was suppressed by a ray of white light.
However, right now, Sol was not in the mood to care about all of this.
Right now, all of his attention was focused on the black-clothed figure in the distance. He stared fixedly at the black-clothed figure, not daring to make a single sound.
Having experienced this before, he knew that this black-clothed figure had been drawn over by the aura of the mark on Yana's body, and under normal circumstances, it would not affect others.
However, things were different for him. He also had a curse on his body, and even though it did not erupt due to the suppression of power, if he dared to stand in front of the black-clothed figure, he would definitely be killed by the black-clothed figure.
Crack! Crack!
A hoarse sound came from all around, very much like the sound of a wooden horse swaying back and forth.
Under Sol's gaze, the black-clothed figure walked to the door in Silence and stretched out a shadowy arm, wanting to open the door.
Bang!!
The arm collided with the wooden door, resulting in a clear sound.
Looking at the wooden door, the black-clothed figure suddenly hesitated, and he retracted his arm as if he had encountered something.
Within the room behind the wooden door, there was a girl lying on a bed in Silence, and most of her body was covered by a black mark.
On the girl's chest, there was a purple stone lying there in Silence, and it gave off a unique aura, causing the black-clothed figure to hesitate.
A faint white light appeared on the purple stone, and even though it was quite weak, it did exist. It seemed to be suppressing the black-clothed figure, making it impossible for him to continue forward.
"It's working!"
Seeing this scene from the corner of the garden, Sol felt relieved, "The power stored in the Sacrificial Stone hasn't been completely used up. At least before it's used up, he won't be able to take Yana's life.
"I should be able to get through tonight safely."
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, he froze.
In his chest, a strong burning sensation was quickly surging, as if it was hinting at something.
In front of him, Silence stood in front of the wooden door, blocked by the purple stone's light. As if sensing something, the black-clothed figure silently turned around and looked in a certain direction.
He silently walked in that direction, and every step he took was very light, as if his body was weightless. He did not leave any sound or footprints behind.
In the direction he walked in, Sol felt a sense of terror, and his scalp went numb.
"What should I do? What should I do? "
The burning sensation in his chest continued to intensify, and his scalp went numb. Facing this situation, he felt despair.
All of his strength had been used up, and the only way to stop the black-clothed figure was with the girl. Facing this situation, he had no other way.
"Damn it!"
He gritted his teeth, and just as he wanted to get up, he realized that his body had lost all of its strength.
The mark on his forehead kept appearing, and he used all of his strength to suppress it. Now, he did not even have the strength to run away.
He watched as the black-clothed figure in the distance walked forward, and the figure shrouded in black gas gradually approached the place where he was hiding.
"Found … you …" A hoarse voice came from nearby, like a traveler in the desert who had been thirsty for a long time.
Standing in front of Sol, the black-clothed figure reached out a hand and grabbed his forehead.
Boom!!
The moonlight shone on the ground, and the black-clothed figure's entire body was enveloped, and he was blasted far away, crashing into the ground in the distance.
"I'm not dead?"
Seeing this scene in a daze, Saul shifted his gaze to the side.
At the end of the garden, Adil had changed into a white robe, and it was very eye-catching in the moonlit night. At this moment, there was a wave of mental energy surrounding him, causing the surrounding energy particles to gather around his body.
He looked at the black-clothed figure in the distance, and lightly raised his arm.
A ray of moonlight shone in front of him, and the power of the Moon God's Light shone on the area, enveloping the black-clothed figure. The black-clothed figure continuously came into contact with the black gas on his body, and there was a sizzling sound of corrosion.
Roar!!
A roar came from afar.
After being exposed twice, the black-clothed figure could not help but look at Adil. After raising his head, a pair of strange red eyes stared at Adil, giving off a thick deathly stillness.
Under Adil's gaze, his form began to change. Within the billowing black gas, he quickly gathered into a tall monster with pale white arms.
The roar from afar reached Adil's ears, and the next moment, the monster appeared in front of Adil. A pale white claw stretched out, directly grabbing onto Adil's head.
The dense moonlight began to dissipate, and waves of halos began to vibrate, continuously condensing and rippling. It was as beautiful as real moonlight, but also filled with murderous intent.
Boom!!
Under Adil's gaze, the pale white monster received a full power attack from the Moon God's Light, and its body directly exploded. It was purified by the dense moonlight, and its organs scattered everywhere, quickly turning into a stone-like object.
After a while, the stone-like object quickly softened, and waves of black gas were released from the surface of the stone-like object. Very quickly, the stone-like object disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.
Standing at the same place and watching this scene in Silence, Adil couldn't help but frown, feeling a bit confused towards this phenomenon.
"He … He actually killed the reaper head-on …"
At the corner of the garden, Sol who was watching the entire process blankly was almost dumbfounded.
After the black-clothed figure disappeared, the imprint that was evoked by the black-clothed figure's aura no longer erupted, and was suppressed by Sol's power.
