On a desolate road, a long line of carriages was slowly moving forward.
This was a very long line of carriages. There were both humans and elves among them.
Dozens of knights wearing black armor patrolled the area, accompanying the carriage in the middle of the line as it slowly moved forward.
Not long after, the line of carriages slowly stopped, and a small figure slowly walked out.
It was a very cute little girl who looked to be around three or four years old. She wore a purple dress and looked very lively and lively, giving off a moving aura.
There was also a purple crystal in front of her forehead. It looked like a decoration and was very beautiful.
The little girl got off the carriage and instinctively felt a familiar aura. She looked forward.
There, a youth wearing a white robe was standing there with some elves beside him.
"Teacher!!"
In an instant, the little girl's face revealed a happy smile. She quickly ran to the young man's side and hugged his thigh.
"Suo Lanna, long time no see."
Looking at the little girl, Adil couldn't help but smile.
He bent down slightly and picked up Suo Lanna, then walked towards the carriage.
There was already someone sitting in the extravagant carriage.
It was an elven girl wearing a white dress. She looked very quiet, and faint energy particles flickered around her body.
This was Latina, Adil's older sister in this life. She had come with Adil to welcome him.
After Adil came to the Oris Family, as Adil's immediate family member, she had undoubtedly gained a lot of benefits. At this time, she had officially become the next successor of the Oris Family and could be considered as the focus of attention.
Sitting in the carriage, looking at the little girl in Adil's arms, Latina was a bit curious, "This is your student?"
"Yes."
Adil nodded and replied, "Her name is Suo Lanna, the child of a good friend of mine."
He said softly as he held Suo Lanna in his arms.
As he said this, he could feel the body of the little girl in his arms tremble slightly. Then, she raised her cute little face and looked at Adil.
Even though she was still very young, Suo Lanna, as the inheritor of an ancient bloodline, was very sensitive. She leaned against Adil's body and fell silent for a moment.
"The Bloodline Trial will start in three months. Are you preparing to go?"
Adil held Suo Lanna in his arms as he looked at Ladina and asked.
"I … can I go?"
Hearing Adil's words, Latina was somewhat hesitant. "With my talent, I'm afraid I can't meet the requirements to participate."
Although she was Adil's older sister and was also a half-elf, her talent was not very good. Her Wizard aptitude was only second-grade, far inferior to Adil.
"It's okay."
Inside the carriage, Adil's calm voice sounded, "I've asked High Priest Faral about the Bloodline Trial. Although only those with a Wizard aptitude of level 3 or above can get the recommendation from the Castellan's Mansion, even without a recommendation, they can still participate at their own expense."
"At my own expense?"
Hearing his words, Latina was taken aback. "The cost must be very high, right?"
"10,000 magic crystals per person." Adil nodded and said.
"So much!!"
Hearing the number that Adil said, Latina was startled, and she could not believe her ears.
10,000 magic crystals was definitely not a small amount.
Before Adil came, as an apprentice priestess, Latina could get magic crystals from the Oris family every once in a while. However, she could only get 3 magic crystals every month. 10,000 magic crystals was already an astronomical number to her.
Even though she had become the next inheritor of the Oris family because of Adil, it was still impossible for her to gather 10,000 magic crystals.
After all, apart from Adil, even for the entire Oris family, unless they sold a large amount of their assets, it was unknown if they could take out 10,000 magic crystals.
"Don't worry, I'll help you pay for these magic crystals. When the time comes, you just have to follow me."
Looking at Latina, Adil's expression was calm. "Your aptitude is not strong. Even with the potions I make for you, the chances of you advancing to an official Magus are very low.
"Although the cost of the bloodline trial is a little expensive, it can increase your aptitude and make your future path smoother."
"Yes …"
Hearing Adil's words, Latina nodded silently. Once again, she felt the huge gap between her and Adil.
10,000 magic crystals was an unimaginably astronomical number to her, and it was enough to buy half of the Oris family. However, to Adil, it was just a number that he could casually take out.
After saying this, the two of them did not speak anymore.
There was a moment of silence. After a while, the sound of the carriage moving slowly sounded again.
The neighing of horses and the slight sound of wheels rolling could be heard.
Hearing these sounds, Adil held Suo Lanna in his arms and closed his eyes, sinking his thoughts into the vast amount of knowledge in his mind.
The carriage stopped and went on the road, and soon, it entered the city and came to a manor.
When he got off the carriage, there were already many people waiting outside the manor.
Andra was not there, but Lilith was. She had brought a group of people from the Oris family out to welcome Adil.
Walking on the road and looking at these people, Adil's footsteps suddenly came to a halt. Then, he turned to look at a corner.
In the corner, there was a young elf. He looked quite handsome and wore a red sleeve shirt as he stood in the crowd to welcome Leylin.
In the next moment, a ray of moonlight flashed through the air, bringing with it an enormous magic power aura, causing everyone present to tremble.
Under the horrified gazes of Lilith and the others, Adil brazenly made his move. Powerful magic power surged from all over his body, and the spell Light of the Moon God was immediately released. Moonlight covered the sky for dozens of meters, and then all of it rushed towards the young elf in the corner.
Roar!!
A low roar came from the corner.
Under everyone's horrified gazes, the young elf's appearance changed drastically. Sharp antennae protruded from his forehead, and his two eyes shattered, revealing two soft tentacles.
In just an instant, his appearance became extremely disgusting. His skin turned gray and was covered in wrinkles. Then, he roared and exploded out with all his power, fighting against the power of the Light of the Moon God.
Boom!!
A black aura spread out, and terrifying power spread out, continuously clashing with the moonlight, causing a series of intense explosions.
His flesh continuously exploded, dripping with black dirty blood. It seemed that he was not lightly injured.
However, what terrified everyone was that even though he looked heavily injured, he still successfully blocked Adil's attack, and it seemed that he still had some strength left.
"You …"
After barely blocking this spell, the young elf coughed up large mouthfuls of blood, and his appearance became more and more terrifying.
He turned around and looked at Adil, a strange smile on his face, and was about to say something.
In the next moment, his expression became stunned, and a figure wearing a white robe appeared in front of him.
A blood-colored blade light flashed in the surroundings.
Looking at the figure in front of him, Adil's expression was calm. He took out the blood-colored curved blade and slashed.
Boom!!!
The sound of flesh and blood shattering continuously sounded out.
As if he had been slashed tens of times in an instant, the young elf's body started to explode. His flesh and bones directly exploded, leaving behind a mess on the ground.
After doing this, Adil kept the curved blade and looked at the corpse's head.
There, there were a few tentacles squirming continuously. A black insect that was the size of a human's arm crawled out from the corpse's head. There were tens of tentacles on its body, and it looked extremely disgusting.
A faint force field lingered in the surroundings, instantly binding the insect and dragging it to Adil's side. Then, the insect was locked in a special glass bottle.
At this moment, the people who came to welcome Ye Xiwen reacted.
"It's a Heart Devourer!!"
Lilith revealed a frightened expression, "And it's already an adult!!"
"This Heart Devouring Demon … just when did it get in here?"
Looking at the minced flesh in front of them, the elves all discussed among themselves, their eyes filled with lingering fear.
Heart Devouring Demons were a very famous race in the underground world. They were naturally powerful, and as long as they reached adulthood, they could rival official Sorcerers.
The reason why this race was famous was because Heart Devouring Demons liked to eat the brains of all kinds of creatures. They also had the ability to take over other people's bodies and completely obtain their memories.
No one wanted to meet this kind of creature, especially when your companions, or even your parents, had already been devoured and replaced by a Heart Devouring Demon, and you did not know about it.
Thinking about how they had lived with a Heart Devouring Demon for a period of time and had even come into close contact with it, the elves present could not help but feel a chill in their hearts. Their gazes towards Adil became more and more respectful.
After handing the glass bottle to an attendant, Adil walked over to Suo Lanna's side. Seeing the somewhat fearful expression on her face, his expression softened a bit, and he directly carried her in his arms before continuing onwards.
After walking a few steps, he seemed to sense something and stopped again. He turned around and looked in a certain direction.
It was an ancient street, and right now, there was not a single person in sight.
However, as he stared intently at that corner, Adil's gaze gradually became more and more serious, as if he had sensed something.
He hesitated for a while, but in the end, he still turned around and, under Lilith's lead, walked into the manor.
As Adil left, the elves present also gradually dispersed. Only a few servants were left behind, carefully cleaning up the flesh and blood on the ground.
"That elf is very powerful."
