It was noon, and a gentle breeze blew across the wilderness.
In the crowded Morning Wind City, a capture was underway.
* Boom! *
A huge explosion came from afar, accompanied by screams and fearful cries.
In a corner of the city, Faral, who was wearing a white priest robe, stood on a flat ground and frowned at the monster in front of him.
It was a monster that looked no different from an ordinary elf, except that it was covered in thick scales. Its eyes were black, and there were two screeches on its forehead. Its entire body was emitting a powerful force field. Even an official wizard would frown when they sensed the power of corruption and invasion.
However, at this moment, the monster looked very miserable. Its left arm was gone, and half of its body was broken. Only its upper body was still wriggling and letting out low groans from time to time. It was enough to frighten people.
"Is it done?" Adil's voice came from behind.
Standing behind Farar, surrounded by a group of elven guards, Adil, who was wearing a solemn black robe, slowly walked out from the corner. He looked at the monster under Farar's feet and didn't say much. He just waved his hand.
Seeing Adil's action, a few elf guards who were wearing thick priest robes walked forward and grabbed the black-armored monster under Faral's feet. They solemnly put it into an iron carriage behind them.
"This is the third one found this month."
Andra, who was behind Adil, said in a heavy tone with a complicated expression as he watched the actions of the elf guards.
After Adil and Princess Edith were engaged, the Orris Family, as Adil's kin, had also received many benefits and obtained a lot of territory in Morning Wind City.
This time, Adil was ordered to return to Morning Wind City to suppress the underground creatures. As the leader of the Orris Family, Andra personally led some people to follow him. While taking care of Adil's food and clothing, he was also responsible for leading the way for Adil.
"There should only be these three in the East City District."
Standing on the side, Adil looked at the black-armored monster locked up in the prison and turned to look in a certain direction, saying, "But there are probably more in other areas."
"The eastern part of the city has always been a place where nobles live. There are quite a few priests living here, so the chances of these black beasts invading are relatively low."
"But I'm afraid that there are more black beasts sneaking into the civilian areas," Faral said from the side.
Hearing this, the rest of the people nodded silently in agreement.
The so-called Black Beast was a unique lifeform of the underground world. Just like the Heart Devourer, it could parasitize other people's bodies. But compared to the Heart Devourer, this lifeform was a lot weaker and didn't have the frightening mind spells of the Heart Devourer.
Although these creatures were also parasitic, they would not directly seize the host's body.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of lifeform would secretly lurk in the host's body, using the host's body to hide and even absorb the host's life force to maintain its own life.
If one did not observe carefully, even a powerful Magus would be overlooked if they were not careful.
But against Adil, this kind of camouflage was naturally ineffective. He would be discovered in the blink of an eye within a few dozen meters of him.
This was the first change Adil noticed after entering Morning Wind City.
Although there were shadows of underground creatures in the original Morning Wind City, there were no large-scale parasitic creatures.
In the current Morning Wind City, Adil could feel the aura that filled the surroundings, which carried the characteristics of the underground creatures.
"Let's go to the next place."
After settling the matter in front of him, Adil turned around and walked in the direction of his carriage.
However, after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and waved his hand. His body instantly lit up and a figure in the distance was immediately restrained.
It was a middle-aged elf wearing a loose robe. He seemed to be a noble. At this moment, he was watching from afar with his wife and children, watching as Adil and the others subdued the black beast.
But in the next moment, under a force field, the entire family was caught by Adil and heavily bound on the spot.
"My lord, I …"
Seeing Adil in front of him, the middle-aged elf seemed to think of something. His face instantly paled, and he was about to say something.
But before he could finish, his skin suddenly turned black, and his eyes rapidly changed as well. In an instant, he looked completely different.
"You still dare to show yourself in front of me."
Seeing the changes on the middle-aged elf, Adil's expression was calm. Only the force field on his body changed and pressed forward.
From the A.I. Chip's perspective, the middle-aged elf's body structure quickly appeared. There was a large red dot where his heart was, and within it was a worm the size of a fist. It had a single eye and was constantly wriggling. It seemed to feel some kind of threat and suddenly raised its head.
However, before the black beast could unleash its power, a terrifying mental force swept over and affected its mind in an instant.
In front of Leylin's eyes, the black skin on the middle-aged elf's body quickly faded, returning to its original color. His pure black eyes also returned to normal.
He fell to the ground, his mouth wide open.
Under the shocked and fearful gazes of the people around him, a black worm the size of a fist and with a single eye slowly crawled out of his mouth. In the end, it was caught by an elven guard who was already prepared, and locked in a special golden glass bottle.
"Let's go."
After doing this, Adil nodded and turned to walk towards the carriage.
Behind him, Farrar and the other priests looked at Adil's back, and finally walked forward slowly, preparing to go to the next stop.
"Lord Adil, there's new news."
A few days later, in a large hall, an elven guard pushed open the door and reported to Adil, who was sitting inside.
He handed over a letter, and then respectfully retreated. There was no sloppiness in the process.
Opening the letter in his hand, Adil roughly read the contents, and his brows immediately furrowed.
"What's the matter?" an old voice sounded from the side.
Farrar, who was beside Adil, asked curiously as he looked at Adil's expression.
As the priest who was originally stationed in Morning Wind City, Farrar often stayed with Adil, analyzing the various situations in Morning Wind City for Adil. At this moment, he was also staying with Adil, and was analyzing the problems around them with Adil.
"There's a problem with Childe and the others. They seem to have discovered something extraordinary."
