In the ruins of the Elven Emperor, Adil had seen the image left behind by a Chief Elven Priest, as well as a large amount of information, including the high-level meditation technique, Sacrifice of the Moon God, that had been left behind by the Chief Elven Priest.
In the information, the high priest also mentioned the curse, but didn't leave a detailed explanation.
Closing his eyes and thinking about what he had read today, Adil instinctively linked the destruction of the elves in the Emerald World to the curse.
"It seems like there are still many mysteries about the elves that I don't know."
At this thought, Adil couldn't help but frown. "But if that's the case, I'm afraid it'll be difficult to achieve my goal this time."
The reason why Adil chose to come to this world this time was because there was a high chance that there were elves in this world. It was possible that he could complete the Moon Elf bloodline in his body, and even find the continuation of the Moon God Sacrifice.
However, plans often couldn't keep up with changes. Although this world was indeed the birthplace of the elves, as Adil had expected, the elves in this world had strangely been destroyed. Now, there wasn't a single living pure-blooded elf in the entire world.
This made Adil feel helpless.
"Luckily, the entire elf civilization in the Emerald World was destroyed, but the traces of the past can't possibly disappear so quickly. There will definitely be many ruins related to the elves left."
Standing on the spot and looking at the books on the bookshelves, Adil thought to himself, "Moreover, because the elf civilization has been destroyed, it might be easier to obtain some things."
At this thought, he turned around and walked out, ready to find Fred and Evan to understand some things.
At this time, the sky outside was gradually darkening. Under the guidance of a servant, Adil came to a hall and found Fred.
"Regarding the story of the ancient elves, this can be said for a long time."
In the spacious hall, after hearing the reason for Adil's visit, Fred sighed. "In fact, we aren't too sure about the truth behind the destruction of the ancient elves. We only know that it ended in a few short days."
He looked at Adil and said, "According to some records of the Mages of the past, one night, the sky was suddenly shrouded in the color of blood. Then, the eyes of all the elves in the Emerald World started to turn red, and some kind of mutation happened to their bodies. Regardless of whether they were commoners or Mages, they all started to die without exception."
"This sounds …" Listening to Fred's description, Adil frowned a little.
"It looks like a curse, right?"
Fred said, "As a matter of fact, many wizards who lived through that era also believed that it was a powerful curse that specifically targeted the elven bloodline after a long period of research."
"It's just that many powerful wizards can curse a person or even a family, but to curse an entire world and kill all the elves in it, I can't imagine what kind of terrifying power it would take."
Speaking up to this point, Fred sighed a little and said, "You should know that the elves are the natives of the Emerald World. According to some records left behind, when the entire Emerald World was at its peak, the number of elves was at least more than ten billion. Among them, there were many powerful Mages of the elves, and even the pure-blooded royal family of the moon elves."
"Such a powerful force, even if it was to start a war with some worlds, but in the end, it was destroyed in just a few short days. It's unbelievable."
"Did the wizards of that era do any research on this?"
Adil asked with a solemn expression. "Such a terrifying curse wouldn't happen for no reason. There should be some traces."
"Of course."
Fred nodded. "In fact, many wizards are still studying what happened back then, trying to find the reason for the destruction of the elves."
"After detailed research and speculation, many wizards think that the destruction of the elves should be related to something in the ancient era."
"The ancient era." Listening to his words, Adil mumbled to himself with some doubts.
"That's right, the ancient era."
Fred sighed with some emotion in his eyes. "During that period, the ancient wizards developed on a large scale. They conquered countless worlds and left traces of wizards in many worlds. Along the way, the ancient wizards also encountered many powerful worlds. Some of the powerful existences in the worlds even the ancient wizards found troublesome and couldn't conquer them. "
"As one of the first few races to join the wizards, the elves were also the main force of the wizards in the ancient era. The reputation of the ancient elven emperors was spread across many worlds."
"You're saying that in the ancient era, when the elven wizards went on an expedition to other worlds, they once encountered a powerful opponent, which led to the revenge of a certain powerful existence?"
Listening to Fred's words, Adil's expression was solemn as he replied.
"This might be very likely," Fred said.
"In many documents unearthed from the elven ruins, there are records of the ancient elven emperors suppressing the demon gods from other worlds. Even now in the Emerald World, there are still legends circulating."
"In fact, the period when the elves were destroyed was the end of the ancient era."
"Of course, this is just a guess."
Speaking up to this point, he smiled and said, "In fact, many wizards have studied the cause of the destruction of the ancient elves. But until now, there hasn't been a conclusion and no conclusion."
"However, the destruction of the elves is a fact. Now in the Emerald World, there are only a few ancient wizard families that still have the blood of the ancient elves in their bodies."
Listening to his words, sitting on the wooden chair at the side, Adil pondered for a long time.
In his mind, a large number of thoughts kept turning, and he thought of all the possibilities.
After a while, he came back to his senses and his expression became calm again. At this moment, he looked at Fred and said, "Sorry, I'm very interested in the elves' things, so I was thinking too much."
"It's alright."
Fred smiled. "It's actually a very normal thing to be interested in the elves' things. After all, strictly speaking, our current civilization was rebuilt from the ruins of the elves' civilization. Many things were excavated from the elven ruins."
"But if you're interested in the elves' things, I can bring you to our local market to have a look. There are usually a lot of new things there."
"Thank you very much." Adil thanked Fred who was in front of him.
"You're welcome."
The expression on Fred's face did not change. He only looked at Adil and said after a long time, "In fact, I also have some things to confirm with Lord Adil."
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Adil was a little puzzled. He subconsciously raised his head and looked at Fred who was in front of him.
"Lord Adil, are you willing to become the guardian wizard of our Gaur Kingdom?"
Under Adil's gaze, Fred's expression turned serious and he asked solemnly, "I can feel that Lord Adil, the powerful bloodline in your body is the same as the bloodline that flows in our Alasdair family. Both belong to the ancient bloodline of the Moon God."
"The bloodline of the Moon God." Hearing this somewhat unfamiliar term, Adil was a little puzzled, but he quickly reacted.
If it was when he first came to this world, he naturally would not understand what the bloodline of the Moon God represented. However, after reading a large number of books in this world, Adil naturally understood the meaning of the bloodline of the Moon God.
The so-called bloodline of the Moon God was, in fact, the bloodline of the ancient moon elves.
In the folklore of the Emerald World, the ancient moon elf king was known as the King of the Moon because he had the power to destroy heaven and earth. He also had the title of the Moon God.
Thinking of this, Adil's gaze suddenly changed. The way he looked at Fred could not help but become a little strange.
He did not expect his luck to be so good. He originally thought that after the elves in the Emerald World were completely destroyed, even if the bloodline of the moon elves did not disappear, it should be very difficult to find one now. He did not expect to find one in front of him.
Seeing the change in Adil's expression, Fred did not think too much about it. He only explained to him, "Becoming the Guardian Wizard of the Gauluo Kingdom does not require you to do much, Lord Adil. Instead, you will have a lot of convenience around here. In return, you only need to help the royal family occasionally. You don't need to do too much.
"Of course, if Lord Adil wants to do something, we will not stop you. We can even provide you with some convenience to a certain extent."
Hearing Fred's explanation, Adil had a rough idea of the responsibilities and obligations of this so-called Guardian Wizard.
From what Fred had explained, this Guardian Wizard was more like an employer-employee relationship. Normally, the Gauluo Kingdom would satisfy Adil's needs within a certain range, and Adil would only need to help them occasionally.
Overall, the conditions seemed very relaxed, and there were not too many restrictions.
After thinking for a while, Adil finally decided to join.
After coming to this world, he did not plan to stay for too long. After half a year at most, he would need to leave this world and return to the Sorcerer World.
In this half a year, Adil needed to increase his strength as much as possible. And to achieve this, it would be much better to rely on the help of the local forces. Whether it was to collect the Sorcerer's knowledge in this world or to help find relics related to the elves, it would be much more convenient.
After getting an accurate reply from Adil, Fred looked very happy. He chatted with Adil for a long time before leaving in a hurry.
"Looks like in the Emerald World, official Sorcerers are also considered high-level combat power. Otherwise, they would not be so valued."
Looking at Fred's hurried back, Adil thought to himself, "Of course, it could also be because the power of this Gauluo Kingdom is a little weaker."
That night, under Fred's arrangements, Adil rested in this manor for the night.
On the second day, at Adil's request, Fred brought Adil out again.
At noon, the carriage moved slowly on the spacious road. Around the carriage, knights rode on fine horses to guard the surroundings, dispersing the pedestrians in front of the carriage.
"The trading point nearby isn't in the city?"
Sitting in the luxuriously decorated carriage, feeling the direction of the carriage, Adil looked at Fred who was sitting beside him and asked.
"Of course not."
Fred smiled and said, "In this kind of trading point between Sorcerers, there are many things that need to be kept secret. If it's set up in the city, many things will be more troublesome."
"Also, there are many things traded in the trading point. It's not good to be seen by ordinary people."
Hearing him say this, Adil did not say anything. He only nodded and closed his eyes, quietly immersing himself in the knowledge in his mind.
But even so, in his body, the A.I. Chip was still operating. As long as there were any strange movements in the surroundings, it would immediately be detected.
After traveling for more than an hour, as the carriage wheels gradually came to a stop in a spacious area outside, Adil opened his eyes and looked at Fred who was beside him.
Without saying a word, they walked out in tacit understanding.
In front of them was a bustling market, with many guards standing guard. A few of them even had magic waves on their bodies, but they were very weak.
Following his usual habit, Adil subconsciously sized up his surroundings.
Just in front of him, he saw at least a hundred guards, but most of them were ordinary elite warriors. There were also a few Knights who had activated their life seeds. There were only two acolytes who truly had magic power, and their magic power was also very weak. They should only be ordinary level 2 acolytes.
This level of protection was much weaker than some of the Sorcerer trading points in the northern plains, let alone Mason District.
"There are ordinary people here?"
Looking at the figures coming and going, Adil frowned and asked.
In this market, there were tens of people walking in front of him. Every one of them was dressed very luxuriously, but apart from a small number of Sorcerers, the rest were mostly ordinary people.
"It can't be helped."
Facing Adil's strange expression, Fred's expression was a little helpless, "There are too few Sorcerers in this area. If this market was specially set up for Sorcerers, I'm afraid there wouldn't be many people now."
"In fact, the conditions to enter this market are very high. Other than Sorcerers, only nobles with very high status, or people who have activated their life seeds have the right to enter. Everyone else will be blocked outside."
Saying this, he looked at Adil and smiled, "Don't think that the number of Sorcerers here is low. In fact, this is already the best trading point for Sorcerers in the surrounding countries."
"Alright." Adil shrugged, looking a little helpless.
Only now did he realize that he might have overestimated the average standard in the Emerald World. If even ordinary acolytes were so rare, then the number of official Sorcerers and even rank 2 Sorcerers could be imagined.
