"I want you to take my place in patrolling the various regions and do your best to resolve the chaos in a few places."
Standing in the quiet room, Curaldo spoke solemnly.
Standing in front of him, Adil did not say anything, only silently nodding.
To a certain extent, he was indeed the most suitable person to do this at the moment.
With the strength of a rank 2 Magus, the ancient moon elf bloodline boosted his battle prowess, and the Moon King's Sword, a high-grade magic equipment to protect him, Adil's current strength was something that few in the entire Mason District could match.
In the entire Elf race, apart from Kasi, who ruled everything in name, and Curaldo, there were not many people who could be a match for Adil.
"Don't worry about the Underworld creatures forming an alliance to ambush you, although the possibility of that is not small."
Curaldo spoke, "Our Astrologer has already calculated that there is still a long way to go before the entrance to the Underworld is completely opened. At this stage, the strength of the Underworld creatures that enter will be greatly restricted. Even a Rank 2 Magus will have to use special methods to enter and pay a huge price. They may even have to sacrifice a large number of lives to summon them.
"For example, the Dark Elf called Andrew paid a huge price to enter the Silver Mist Forest to create chaos in the Silver Mist Forest and use the opportunity to perform a blood sacrifice to summon powerful Magi from the Underworld to the surface," Curaldo said calmly.
"Blood sacrifices between people of the same bloodline are the most effective. The reason he chose to enter the Silver Mist Forest is obviously to summon the Dark Elf Magi from the Underworld."
"I understand." Sitting opposite Curaldo, Adil's expression was calm. He only nodded and asked, "When do we leave?"
"As soon as possible," Curaldo said, "I will arrange for some Priests to go with you. As for your first stop, go to Morrowind City. "
"That is where your family lives. Many strange things have happened there recently, and there are traces of Magi in the Metamorphosis Period."
"Yes." Hearing Curaldo's words, Adil nodded again, not having any objections.
After discussing what to do next, they no longer hesitated.
Half a month later, a grand procession set off from the capital. With Adil, the successor of the High Priestess as the leader, and several First Oblatums as support, the procession formed a grand procession and headed towards Morning Wind City.
Perhaps it was because this group was too luxurious, but wherever Adil went, all the strange signs would be concealed, not daring to cause the slightest disturbance.
This situation only changed when they were near Morning Wind City.
"What a powerful corrosive aura."
Walking along the road and looking at the scenery, Adil's expression fluctuated.
On both sides of the road, there should have been a large amount of lush vegetation, but at this moment, none of it could be seen. Only stalks of dry grass were left, looking miserable and dispirited. It was as if some power was causing mischief here, sucking away all the vitality of the surrounding vegetation.
With his Nature Sense, Adil also sensed that the surroundings were filled with a strange and corrosive force field that was rapidly corroding the surrounding vitality.
This was not intentional, but rather, it was as if a powerful life had passed by, and its aura had spread out instinctively, leaving a deep mark in the surroundings that would not dissipate for a long time.
"This situation started two months ago." A familiar voice sounded in his ear.
In a spacious carriage, Faral, the First Oblatum stationed in Morning Wind City, was standing behind Adil. At this moment, he looked at the withered grass in the wilderness and sighed. "After this happened, the local First Oblatum immediately reported to me, but after investigating for a long time, there was no result."
"Such a powerful and corrosive radiation aura could only be possessed by life in the subterranean world. But for some reason, no matter how much we investigated, we could not find any traces of it."
"Apart from this, are there any other abnormalities around here?" Adil turned around and asked.
"Yes, and quite a few." Faral smiled bitterly. "These few months, there has been trouble everywhere."
"The forest outside the city has become a disaster area. Many Dark Elf Sorcerers are secretly hiding there, and they have brought us a lot of trouble."
Faral continued, "There are also a few graveyards outside Morning Wind City. A few ghouls are lurking in there now, and many dead souls have been resurrected. During this time, many civilians have been killed during this period …"
As soon as he finished speaking, his tone suddenly stopped, and his expression suddenly became a little awkward.
It turned out that in front of them, a few figures had suddenly appeared without them noticing.
They were figures in tattered clothes. Their clothes were very badly damaged, and their flesh had long been corroded and weathered. They looked like resurrected corpses, stumbling in the wilderness and letting out low growls from time to time.
"Are these the dead souls you were talking about?" Looking at the ghouls that looked like corpses, Adil raised his eyebrows. He was also surprised by this.
They were at the edge of Morning Wind City's wilderness, and there was still a long way to go before they reached Morning Wind City.
But even in such a deserted place where corpses were rarely born, ghouls could still be seen resurrecting. One can well imagine, what kind of scene would it be in the densely populated elves' residences …
With a thought, a force field extended into the distance, instantly binding the ghouls that were growling and pulling them over.
The ghouls roared and wanted to resist. Looking at Adil and the others in front of them, their eyes emitted a murderous glint. However, facing the heavy force field binding them, they were powerless and could not break free at all.
"Looking at the general outline of their clothing, they should have been nobles when they were alive. Based on this, they should be at least 500 years old."
Behind the carriage, an elf dressed like a scholar walked to the front. He wore a pair of reading glasses and came to this conclusion after carefully observing the ghouls' clothing.
Hearing this conclusion, the priests' expressions darkened.
"Even corpses from hundreds of years ago can be demonized?" At the side, Adil's expression also became much more serious.
The demonization of corpses was not completely unconditional.
In order to demonize a corpse, certain conditions must be met. Generally speaking, the more intact the corpse was, the less corroded it was, and the more likely it was to be demonized.
Corpses that only had white bones left were extremely difficult to demonize. Even if they were demonized, they would be extremely weak. Not to mention knights and wizards, even a normal strong man could muster up the courage to kill them.
Corpses that were hundreds of years old, according to common sense, should have been left with only white bones, and it would be extremely difficult to demonize them.
"Looks like the entrance to the underground near Morning Wind City is much easier to break through than other places."
