"I slept well."
Sol put away his sword and smiled at Adil, "It's just that Suo Lanna started crying again last night. It's a bit of a headache."
In response to his words, Adil smiled and said, "Isn't that normal?"
Sol smiled and stood next to Adil, not saying anything.
They walked out. On the way, Saul looked at Adil, who was beside him. He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Sir Adil, did you hear anything last night?"
"Something?"
Adil was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly understood what the other party meant.
Adil wasn't the only one who had heard that miserable cry last night. Sol had probably heard it as well.
With the powerful spiritual power of his bloodline, it wasn't impossible for him to feel the fluctuations of that spiritual power. However, it definitely wouldn't be as intuitive as Adil, who could understand the essence of that sound.
These thoughts flashed through his mind, but on the surface, Adil didn't directly answer the question. Instead, he asked, "Did anything happen here today?"
"No."
Sol didn't continue asking after Adil changed the topic. Instead, he began to answer Adil's question seriously, "But I heard that there will be a ball here tonight to welcome us."
At this point, he paused and looked at Adil, asking in a low voice, "Is there a problem here?"
"I'm not too sure."
Adil shook his head, his expression calm. "However, try to be careful."
"Lord Sol, Mister Adil, you're awake." A loud voice rang out in the distance, immediately attracting Sol and Adil's attention.
On the other side of the path stood a well-built middle-aged man with a scar on his face. He was currently looking at the two of them. It was Syl, who had brought Adil's group here.
He stood there, dressed in thin black clothes. His tough, scarred face looked a bit tired, but he looked beautiful and energetic, like someone who hadn't woken up yet.
"Ciel, you're here."
Sol greeted Syl with a smile and asked curiously, "You don't look very energetic. Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"Maybe."
Cecil shook his head and tried to look more energetic. "I had a nightmare last night. Maybe that's why I didn't rest well."
"What nightmare is it?"
Walking on the road, there were not many people around. Saul walked up to Syl and asked casually.
"I don't know. I can't remember."
Syl seemed to have thought of something, and his face instantly became a little sinister. However, he quickly regained his composure, and his entire face became a little stiff, like a cold mask.
Saul didn't pay attention to these details. He just assumed that the person before him was tired and didn't think too much about it.
But behind them, Adil, who had remained silent since Cecil's arrival, saw everything clearly.
In that instant, a black aura had clearly flashed across Syl's stiff face.
Behind him, Adil's expression was calm. His deep eyes started to show a little silver, which was unusually eye-catching and beautiful.
It was the Moon Elf's Eye, one of the Moon Elves' Bloodline Talents. It could see the movement of spiritual power and energy.
Usually, because of the Jade Mark, Adil's bloodline power was suppressed by half. He could only recover when the seal was removed or when he activated it.
Now, under the gaze of the Moon Elf's Eye, the scene before him changed.
Syl was still by Sol's side, chatting with him nonstop.
However, under the gaze of the Moon Elf's Eye, Syl's appearance had become extremely terrifying.
His body had lost all signs of life, and his face was as pale and ashen as a corpse. There were faint signs of decay on it.
The other party's eyes were filled with dullness and deathly stillness, as if he was a dead person. The color of his pupils had changed from black to scarlet.
There was also a faint black aura around his body that floated into the distance. Overall, it looked quite terrifying, like a humanoid corpse that could walk, giving it a strange feeling.
Looking at this scene, Adil's expression was calm, as if he didn't see anything. He only looked at Saul.
There was also a black aura around Saul's body, trapped within his body. It was suppressed by a purple energy and could not explode.
This was the curse on Saul's body. Right now, it was being suppressed by the bloodline in his body and could not erupt.
Observing this, Adil lowered his head and continued to look at Syl's body.
It was early in the morning, and the sun was slowly rising. Within the peaceful village, some indigenous people were walking out, preparing to start the day's work.
In front of Adil, Saul did not notice the abnormality of the person beside him. He chatted with Adil as they walked.
"Alright, I'll send you here."
After walking for a while, they arrived in front of a wooden house. Cyril stopped. He seemed to have recovered from his previous exhaustion. His speech became more natural, and he didn't look as stiff as before.
Even the rumbling black aura around him had shrunk, and it was the same for Adil.
Silence. After a short while, Syl's appearance had changed greatly. Even though his face was still pale like a corpse, his scarlet eyes had returned to normal. Even the rolling black aura around him had shrunk.
With these changes, Syl looked more and more spirited, and his tone and expression became more natural. Overall, he was starting to become like a normal person.
Observing all of this, Adil didn't say anything. Before leaving, he gave Saul a deep look and followed him into the house.
After a few more steps, Saul pushed open the door of the wooden house, revealing the scene inside.
Behind the wooden door was a very spacious hall. In the hall, there were long wooden tables with some food on them.
At this time, in the hall, there were already several people sitting there. It seemed like they were having breakfast.
Among them, one person attracted Adil's attention.
It was a boy around 13 or 14 years old. He was dressed in black and looked very cute, but his expression was a little stiff, as if he was afraid of strangers.
But in Adil's eyes, there was something strange about the boy.
Just like Syl, in Adil's eyes, the boy's face was also pale, and his eyes were scarlet, with a hint of death.
"What's wrong?" Saul's voice came from in front of him.
Sitting opposite Adil, Saul looked at Adil with a puzzled expression.
"Don't you think there are a lot of people in black here?"
Shifting his gaze to Saul, Adil said casually, and then lowered his head to eat his breakfast.
"Black clothes?"
Sitting opposite Adil, hearing Adil's words, Saul's heart jumped, as if he had thought of something important.
"Indeed … Since yesterday, there have been too many people wearing black clothes in this village."
As he thought to himself, he looked at the other people in the hall.
In the hall, there were a total of 5 people sitting here, and 3 of them were dressed in black.
"Perhaps it's a coincidence …"
After silently observing for a while, Saul could not think of anything wrong and frowned as he thought to himself.
Here, they quickly finished their breakfast, then left and returned to their own rooms.
Because it was rare for them to meet people from the past, and because Elder Macedo had asked them to stay, they had planned to leave the next morning. As such, they stayed here that night.
Soon, at night, when the sky gradually darkened, a bonfire began to rise in the middle of the village.
The bonfires were lit all around, and on a high stage, a few native girls were performing a strange dance.
However, when Saul and Yana walked out of their rooms, they were stunned.
At the center of the village, everyone had come out to participate in this grand banquet.
However, apart from the natives, the Crassus were dressed in the same way. Most of them, including Elder Macedo, were dressed in black.
Seeing this, Saul recalled what Adil had said during the day, and a strong sense of unease welled up in his heart, causing him to frown.
"What's wrong?" Yana's gentle voice sounded in his ears.
She looked at the banquet in front of her, and did not think as much as Saul. She held her child in her arms and smiled, "Let's go and take a look."
"Alright."
After hearing her words, Saul hesitated momentarily before nodding in agreement. He then dragged Yana along with him as they walked forward.
At this time, some people had gathered in front of them, and there were bustling noises coming from all around. The sound of children playing mixed with the cheers of adults. The warm atmosphere made Saul's uneasiness recede a little, and he became calmer.
After all, humans were social creatures, and in such a lively environment, they naturally relaxed.
"Saul, don't you want to come and take a look?" A loud voice sounded out in the distance.
Saul looked up and saw Syl, who was wearing thin black clothes and had a bold smile on his face, waving at him, "This banquet is specially prepared for you guys!"
"Let's go and take a look."
Sensing the passionate atmosphere, a smile appeared on Yana's face as she looked at Saul and softly said, "It has been many years since we've felt something like this."
Looking at Yana, Saul hesitated for a moment before nodding and walking forward.
As he was walking, he happened to see a young man dressed in white walking past him, holding a piece of roasted meat in his hand. Thus, a thought flashed through his mind, and he directly stopped the young man. "Why are there so many people dressed in black tonight?"
Looking at Saul, the young man in white also had a look of confusion on his face, "I also feel that it's quite strange. No one informed us, but everyone came out dressed in black."
Looking at this young man, Saul asked a few more questions, but in the end, he could not get anything out of him, so he continued walking.
He walked towards Syl and the others and soon started to play with them. It was as if he had returned to his youth, playing with his clansmen.
Looking at Saul and the others' expressions, Yana hugged her child in silence and smiled as if she was thinking about the past.
"Why don't you all go in together?"
An elderly voice suddenly sounded out, accompanied by a wave of footsteps.
Hearing this voice, Yana turned and saw an elderly man in black robes standing there, looking at the child in her arms.
"I don't have the strength to go there like before."
Looking at the elderly man, Yana's expression was calm, "You know that the curse in my body is about to break out.
What are you doing here, Elder Maidor? Why are you sitting here so late at night? "
She looked at the elderly man and asked, sounding very calm.
"I just want to confirm some things."
Maidor took a deep look at Yana and his expression was just as cold as before, "Please come with me."
After saying this, he walked to the side without attracting anyone's attention.
Hearing his words, Yana instinctively frowned and felt a bit hesitant.
However, just as she was hesitating, her body instinctively walked forwards and silently followed behind Maidor.
"How could this be? My body!! "
Sensing that her body was moving uncontrollably, Yana felt quite shocked, "Saul!"
She wanted to call out her husband's name but found that she could not control her body at all. She could not even speak, and she could only stiffly follow behind Maidor.
At this moment, in her body, the curse that had been under control was exploding madly. It even broke through the seal that Adil had placed on her and began to affect her body.
"Where do you want to take me?"
Looking at Maidor, she instinctively called out, causing her to feel quite startled.
"Don't worry, I'm not completely controlling your movements. As long as you don't make trouble for me, you can say whatever you want," Maidor's voice sounded out, but compared to before, it was a bit more eerie and cold.
"As for where I want to take you, you'll soon understand."
Standing in front of Yana, Maidor silently raised his head and continued to walk forwards.
