Early in the morning, as the weather outside gradually turned cold, Adil walked out of his room and was led away by a few guards.
The atmosphere in the inner city was tense. Over the past few days, with the increasing activity of the lizardmen outside the city, the atmosphere in the city had become increasingly tense.
If not for the fact that Adra was still alive and Adil was still around, there would have been chaos.
"It's a pity that I still have to do this in the end."
Sitting in the carriage, Adil could not help but sigh as he looked at the scenery outside through the gaps.
Not long after, under the guidance of a guard, Adil arrived at another manor and walked down.
Seeing Adil walk over, the guard outside did not stop him and respectfully allowed Adil to enter.
As he walked inside, Adil saw a figure in one of the rooms.
It was Adra, who was paralyzed on the bed and seemed to be in a deep sleep.
Compared to before, his body had become somewhat terrifying. Not only had his skin turned black, his body was also filled with a foul stench, as if he had been contaminated.
In his current state, if a normal person were to stand beside him for too long, they would probably faint.
"How's the situation?"
Walking into the room and seeing Adra's condition, Adil asked a blue-robed Magus at the side.
This was a level 3 acolyte wearing a blue robe, and he was not young anymore. Hearing Adil's question, he turned around and said, "The situation is very serious. We've done a few tests before, and the poison in Lord Adra's body should be from the Dark Magi Alliance. It's very difficult to expel the poison, and it can easily cause a second infection. "
"We've already tried conventional methods, but none of them worked. We can only invite Lord Adil to give it a try."
"I'll try my best." Adil nodded and walked forward.
Seeing Adil's actions, the surrounding people retreated, leaving only a few Magi standing in the room. With the blue-robed level 3 acolyte as their leader, they watched Adil's actions.
Adil didn't care about their gazes. He turned around and looked at Adra, who was lying on the wooden bed.
After roughly checking the other party's condition, Adil understood what was going on.
In fact, Adil played a part in Adra's current state.
After signing the contract and joining the Dark Sorcerer Alliance, Jim and Colula did not ask him to leave the Emerald Hand immediately. Instead, they asked him to return to the Emerald Hand as a sorcerer and cooperate with the Dark Sorcerer Alliance to carry out a special mission.
But in this way, things would return to square one.
In order to complete the task assigned to Adil by the Jade Hand, Adra still had to be killed.
Therefore, a few days ago, Adil took advantage of an opportunity to do something to him, aggravating his injuries and finally ending up in this state.
In fact, it was impossible for Adra to completely trust Adil. After he was injured, he reacted quickly and immediately hid in a secluded place so that Adil could not find him.
However, in order to stabilize the situation in the city and let the various families feel at ease, he would show himself every once in a while to prove that he was still alive.
This gave Adil the opportunity to make his move.
Even if it was an official Magus, once they were heavily injured and could not use their magic power, their battle strength would not be that strong. It would be a problem for them to defeat a level 3 acolyte, let alone an official Magus.
Of course, out of caution, Adil did not immediately get rid of Adra. Instead, he pretended that the poison in Adra's body had flared up.
"From the looks of it, it should happen in the next few days."
After carefully checking Adra's condition, Adil thought to himself. He then walked to the side and took out a few potions that he had prepared and placed them on the wooden table.
After speaking with the level 3 acolyte in a blue robe, Adil walked out and quickly returned to his manor.
After a period of time, Adil did not leave. Silent, he continued to research some things in the laboratory.
Half a month later.
"You seem to be recovering well."
Within the spacious laboratory, Adil said casually as he looked at the little girl standing beside him.
Standing next to him at this time was the girl who had been brought back by Saul. After being suppressed by Adil's surgery, she finally woke up during this time.
"I can already walk normally …"
Looking at Adil, Yana spoke softly, her voice sounding very weak.
Compared to when the curse had flared up, she was now wearing a light white dress, and the black mark that had covered her body had completely disappeared. She looked gentle and quiet, and with her long hair, even though she was not very beautiful, she had a unique aura.
However, on her forehead, the black mark was still there, just that it was not very obvious and was much fainter than before.
The sound of footsteps could be heard from outside.
Outside the door, Saul walked in and said, "Sir Adil, the people who went out to gather information have returned. City Lord Adra did not show up today. It is said that the City Lord's daughter is sick and needs to be treated."
"Is that so?"
After putting down the things in his hands and hearing Saul's words, Adil could not help but stare blankly. His expression did not change, and he silently raised his head, "Looks like it's time to leave."
After being attacked by the dark Magi, in order to ensure the safety of the people in the city, Adra had insisted on appearing every once in a while. Now that he had not appeared for so long, the reason was obvious.
Thinking to there, Adil could not help but sigh, "The situation in this region is becoming more and more chaotic. Looks like I'll have to make more preparations."
He thought to himself as he looked at Saul, who was next to him.
The next morning, when the sun shone on the ground, Adil and his group had already started to leave.
"Lord Adil, what is Jadeite City like?"
Yana looked at Adil curiously, "I heard that it's very beautiful."
"That's the headquarters of Jadeite Hand, so of course it's very beautiful."
Looking at the little girl, Adil smiled, "But this time, don't follow us."
"Lord Adil, what's wrong?"
Saul interrupted from the side, looking a little worried.
"There might be some accidents, so it won't be convenient for you to follow us."
Adil calmly said, "I'll find a safe place to drop you off. During this period of time, you can stay there, and I'll come back to find you after things have passed.
When that time comes, I'll think of a way to solve your problems. "
"Yes," Saul silently nodded and looked at Adil with some worry in his eyes.
The carriage continued forward for three days before stopping at a certain place.
It was a small town that seemed quite peaceful. It was quite remote, and the land was quite barren. However, it did not seem like there were many disputes, and it had not been affected by the battles outside.
"This place is quite remote, and under normal circumstances, there won't be any Magi here."
Sitting in the same place, Adil looked at the town in the distance and said to Saul, "With your strength, there won't be much danger in this place. Just stay here for the time being."
Hearing Adil's words, Saul silently nodded.
Although he looked quite wretched, because of his bloodline, Saul was not weak at all. If he used his full strength, he would have no problem dealing with ordinary Knights, and it would be enough for him in this remote town.
After thinking for a while, Adil took out a bag of money and threw it to them before turning around and walking in another direction.
He first went to a nearby city, and after reaching the Jadeite Hand's branch, he quickly returned to the headquarters of Jadeite Hand.
… …
Half a month later.
At noon, in the headquarters of Jadeite Hand, a giant red bird slowly descended, and a young man wearing a white robe walked down.
"Welcome back," a voice sounded out in front of him.
In front of him, Maido was already waiting, "You came back much slower than I expected."
"I couldn't help it; something happened in the middle of the journey, so I was delayed."
