"Wait, don't be in such a hurry to attack."
On the opposite training ground, seeing Adil's actions, Bruce immediately felt that something was amiss and hurriedly said, "If I want to leave, do you really think that you can catch up to me?"
Hearing this, Adil's hand that was about to draw his sword paused. "What are you trying to say?"
"To someone like you who comes from the Jade Hand, I am not an enemy."
Not knowing what he was thinking, Bruce's face had an indescribable smile. "Let me introduce myself. I am Jim, and as you can see, I come from the Dark Magi Alliance."
As he spoke, he took out an emerald badge from his hand and tossed it over.
"This is …"
Looking at the badge, Adil's expression changed, and he caught it with one hand.
Under the illumination of the night, the emerald badge emitted a faint fluorescent light. There was an extremely special spiritual wave on it, and it had the same frequency as a certain one that Adil was familiar with.
"This is the token of the Jade Hand. It should be enough to prove my sincerity."
The dark Magus named Jim revealed a smile. "The specific orders should arrive in a few days. You will understand what is going on by then."
After saying this, a black aura filled the air, and his figure turned into a shadow, quickly disappearing from where he was.
Opposite him, looking at his disappearing figure, Adil's expression turned gloomy. He hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he did not chase after him.
A shadow quickly shuttled back and forth in the city, and only stopped when it reached a certain forest outside the city.
"Jim, how did you become like this?"
Under the shadow, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded.
"I was too careless."
Arriving here, the black aura that enveloped Jim's body gradually dispersed, revealing a pale face. "That Magus from the Jade Hand is much more powerful than I thought. He doesn't seem like a Magus from the Jade Hand at all, but more like someone from our Dark Magi Alliance."
"From the information given to us by the Jade Hand, he is not a Magus nurtured by the Jade Hand, but a wild Magus who joined halfway. It is normal for his battle power to be stronger than other Magi," the hoarse voice replied.
"Alright, no wonder."
Upon hearing this, Jim couldn't help but shrug. "But even though there were some accidents, the most basic goal was achieved."
"The target was stabbed by my dagger, so he won't have a good time. I can leave it to someone else to deal with."
"How strong is that wizard?" The hoarse voice sounded again.
"Not bad, to be able to beat me up like this. Although part of the reason is because of this body, the opponent's strength is not bad," Jim replied.
"Since that's the case, let's find a way to get in touch with them."
On the side, the figure shrouded in shadows spoke again. His hoarse voice echoed in the surroundings, "The Alliance has just been established, and it is time for potion masters. It would be great if we could rope in a potion master with such strength."
"Get someone to try." Jim nodded.
… …
When he returned to the hall, the commotion had already been suppressed.
In the middle of the hall, Adra was sitting on a wooden chair. His complexion didn't look good, and a strange purple color could be seen on his face.
Seeing him like this, Adil frowned. "How do you feel?"
"Very bad." Adra's expression was ugly, and his aura was chaotic. "What about you? Did you manage to catch that dark wizard? "
"No."
Adil shook his head without changing his expression. "That dark wizard is very good at hiding his aura. I chased him all the way to the outer city, but he managed to shake me off."
"It's normal that he couldn't catch up."
Hearing Adil's words, Adra didn't find it strange. "Dark wizards are good at hiding. Although he was injured, it's not surprising that he could escape from you, Adil."
After a while, as the injuries on his body worsened, Adra's face turned pale, and he hurriedly left.
After he left, Adil looked around and didn't have any intention of staying. He directly returned to his residence.
"Master Adil, why are you back so soon?"
After returning to his residence, Saul looked at Adil with a strange expression.
"Something happened outside. Remember not to go out for a while."
Glancing at Saul, Adil asked, "How is that girl?"
"She's doing well."
Speaking of this, an excited expression appeared on Saul's pale face. "The marks on her body have mostly disappeared. It seems that the curse has been successfully suppressed."
"Take me to her." Hearing his words, Adil nodded and walked towards his laboratory.
In the center of the spacious laboratory, a naked girl lay there in Silence, looking as if she was asleep.
Compared to before, the black marks on her body had mostly disappeared. Only the mark on her forehead was still present, and it hadn't been suppressed.
Under the suppression of the spell formation, the black scales that had grown out of the girl's abdomen disappeared, and her body stopped changing, returning to normal.
"She should be able to wake up in a few days."
Standing in front of the laboratory, Adil used the A.I. Chip to observe for a while. After coming to this conclusion, he left the laboratory and asked Saul to stay behind.
Just like that, a few days passed.
In these few days, the atmosphere in the city was rather tense.
Even though Yardela had sealed off the news in time, some people deliberately spread the news that he had been assassinated.
If not for Adil, an official Magus, and the fact that the Lizardmen outside the city had not made any movements, the city would not have been so peaceful.
Early in the morning, Adil sat on a chair in a luxuriously decorated room, holding a jade-green ring with the mark of the Emerald Hand on it.
At this moment, the ring gave off a faint green light, and spiritual energy undulations continuously flickered on it, reminding Adil of something.
He sent his magic power into the ring at a specific frequency, and an image appeared in front of him.
A screen of light appeared, and a figure appeared in front of him. He looked like an old man, and it was Maido, who had brought Adil into the Emerald Hand.
"Adil, long time no see."
He looked at Adil with a sigh on his face.
"Indeed, it's been a few months."
Adil's expression did not change, and a familiar smile appeared on his face. "So, Sir Maido, is there something urgent that you need to inform me of by using a transmission?"
"Indeed."
Opposite Adil, Maido nodded. "The latest instructions from the higher-ups have come. Your mission this time has been completed."
Hearing this, Adil's heart sank, but his expression did not change. He looked surprised. "What?"
"Don't be surprised."
Seeing the expression on Adil's face, Maido said, "Just half a month ago, the higher-ups made a decision to work with the Dark Magi Alliance …"
… …
The conversation lasted for half an hour. With a soft sound, the screen of light in front of him slowly faded, and Maido's figure disappeared.
After everything was over, Adil's calm expression turned gloomy. "It's only been less than three months, and we've just formed an alliance with Griffin Academy. Now, they're going back on their word … What are the higher-ups of the Emerald Hand thinking?
"And I've only just received this important news. As expected, a Magus like me, who joined halfway, is not treated as one of their own."
At this thought, Adil's expression became even more gloomy.
The Emerald Hand was a large-scale Magus academy. Official Magi like Adil, who were recruited from outside, would definitely not be treated as well as official Magi that were nurtured by the Emerald Hand. This was something that Adil was well aware of.
However, the Emerald Hand's actions this time made Adil feel uneasy.
In the short span of a few months, they had gone from helping to betray their own allies to joining the dark Magi's camp. Putting aside whether or not this decision was correct, just the mission that they had assigned to Adil made Adil feel that something was not right.
In the conversation just now, besides expressing his apologies to Adil, Maido had also assigned a mission to Adil. Before Adil left, he was to use his identity as a Magus of the Emerald Hand to personally get rid of Adra.
"They want me, a newly joined official Magus, to get rid of Adra as a sign of respect to the Dark Magi Alliance … If I wait until the Dark Magi Alliance falls out with them and form a good relationship with Griffin Academy, I'm afraid that I'll be the first one to be pushed out as a scapegoat …"
Adil's expression was gloomy, "They're just a few newly joined official Magi, and they're just the right scapegoats. If they can display their value at the right time, with the way the academy's higher-ups are acting, they won't hesitate at all."
At this thought, he could not help but furrow his brows and look outside.
Outside, the sunlight shone on the ground, bringing with it waves of warmth.
After hesitating for a moment, Adil stood up and walked out.
He walked out of the manor and quickly left the outer city.
Along the way to the outskirts of the city, Adil walked to a certain plain and took out a black key.
The key was in the shape of a cross and looked like a black crystal. It was very beautiful, and there was an image of a crown carved on it, which represented some kind of imprint.
Holding this key, Adil's expression did not change, and he quietly injected his magic power into it.
Under Adil's gaze, the black key emitted a faint black light, and it looked very beautiful.
Not far away, under the illumination of this faint light, an indescribable spiritual force undulation appeared, causing a flock of black crows to quickly fly over.
