In the peaceful square, after Elina's treatment, Adil's injuries were temporarily contained. Although they did not improve, at least they were no longer worsening.
Silent, he laid on the ground with his sword loosened and his eyes closed, looking as if he was asleep.
In the distance, the sound of horse hooves could be heard. It came from afar and traveled all the way here to be heard by them.
Hearing this sound, Elina stood in place with a cold expression. Silent, she did not put away the crimson sword in her hand.
Not long after, many knights rushed over from afar.
These knights wore red leather armor, and there were 300 to 400 of them. The weakest among them had the strength of an apprentice knight. No matter where they were, they were the most elite warriors.
At the front of these knights, a middle-aged man with a tanned face and black armor rushed over on horseback. He had a fearful and anxious expression on his face.
"Princess Elina!!"
When he saw Elina's figure in the distance, he heaved a sigh of relief and quickly got off his horse. He knelt down on one knee and said, "It's great that you're alright!"
"Dara, give me a reason." Looking at the middle-aged man, Elina's expression was cold. "I told you to bring the Scarlet Knights here as reinforcements."
"In the end, not only did you come so late, you didn't even bring the Scarlet Knights here in full."
As she spoke, her tone became colder, and her gaze became more and more unfriendly.
"I'm very sorry." Hearing Elina's words, the middle-aged man named Dara broke out in cold sweat. He quickly explained, "I had already brought people and set off, but the wild beasts outside the wasteland suddenly went berserk and forcefully attacked the camp, delaying us greatly."
"Wild beasts went berserk?" Hearing this explanation, Elina was stunned. She could no longer care about what was in front of her and quickly asked, "What's the situation over there?"
"Because it was discovered in time, it has already been suppressed. Earl Edilla is currently standing guard there with some people, so I'm the only one who has come to look for the princess," Dara replied respectfully, not daring to raise his head at all.
"It's great that you're fine." Elina heaved a sigh of relief and raised her head to look at Dara. She said again, "I'll deal with you when we get back.
"As for now, send someone to find that old bastard Orris."
A cold light flashed in her eyes. "Also, bring this injured knight back for treatment."
"Yes!" Hearing Elena's instructions, Darla heaved a sigh of relief. He quickly stood up and led his men towards the surviving knights.
After experiencing the previous battles, there were not many knights who survived. Most of them had fallen into a coma and were lying on the ground in Silence, looking no different from corpses.
If not for the fact that the vitality of Knights was far stronger than that of ordinary people, none of them would have survived.
However, even so, there were not many knights who survived. Out of the 40 to 50 people that Eileen brought with her, only 7 to 8 of them survived.
Soon, Darla walked up to Adil. Looking at the 'unconscious' Adil, she was stunned for a moment.
As for Adil, the new Knight that she had taken in, he was naturally not a stranger to him.
Although the two of them did not have much contact due to their different duties, Adil's gentle personality and outstanding appearance still left a good impression and a good impression in his heart.
However, at this moment, Adil was lying on the cold floor in Silence. His aura was extremely weak, and his hair was white as if he had exhausted the last bit of his strength.
In an instant, Darla thought of the reason and couldn't help but look at Adil with a hint of respect.
He carefully lifted Adil up and personally carried him into a comfortable carriage. Only then did he pick up his sword and lead the knights to search the area.
The results of the search this time around were disappointing to Eileen.
The manor in front of her was already empty, and there were only a few ordinary servants left.
As for Count Orris and his kin, they seemed to have completely disappeared. There was not a single trace of them to be found.
It was a disappointing result, but in the process, Anum, whom Adil had previously hidden in a corner, was discovered and quickly returned to Elena's side.
After seeing Adil's pale face and his life force burning away, the usually silent middle-aged Knight could not help but be moved. After a long silence, he spoke again.
He told her everything he had seen, including how Adil had rejected Count Orris's recruitment and how he had saved him from the latter's clutches.
Listening to these things silently and looking at Adil's unconscious figure, she could not help but sigh. Then, she led her men and slowly left the manor in front of her.
As if to vent her anger, before she left, Eileen even got someone to set the manor on fire and set it ablaze.
The beautiful manor was set ablaze, and the buildings that had a long history were reduced to fuel for the flames. All of them turned into scarlet flames that burned fiercely.
Amidst the burning flames, a human figure slowly appeared.
He looked old and wore a black robe. At this moment, his eyes were fixed on the faraway Eena, and his gaze was calm.
"The image of fate … has been changed …"
Standing above the sea of flames, he looked at the faraway Eena and muttered to himself. His words were filled with the vicissitudes of life, as if he had experienced the baptism of thousands of years.
In the distance, on the other side.
The moment the old man appeared in the sea of flames, Adil suddenly opened his eyes in the carriage.
"That feeling just now …"
Struggling to get up, he could no longer pretend to be unconscious. Under the effect of some inexplicable feeling, he looked in a certain direction in the distance.
In a certain direction in the distance, a faintly discernible feeling could be felt, and it was accompanied by a throbbing in his soul.
Adil was not unfamiliar with this feeling.
Back then, when he awakened his transmigration ability and went to the first world, he had experienced this feeling. It was incomparably real and left a deep impression on him.
"To make my soul throbbing, just what is it …"
He looked in the direction in the distance and felt an inexplicable throbbing in the depths of his soul. He couldn't help but muttered to himself, feeling a bit hesitant.
In the depths of his soul, a desire was currently filling his heart, urging him to walk in that direction in the distance, to search for something.
But if he did that, it would not be easy to explain to Eena, and it might make her doubt him.
If that were to happen, all the performances he had done before would be equivalent to being useless, and all his hard work would be in vain.
Standing in the same place, after hesitating for a while, Adil still made his decision.
"This world's coordinates are over there, advanced breathing technique isn't something that only Eena has."
He looked into the distance, no longer hesitating in his heart, "But something that can make my soul yearn for it is not that easy to come across. If I miss this chance, it might be hard to come across the next time!"
Silently looking into the distance and sensing the aura in the surroundings, Adil thought in his heart.
Just that, when he was prepared to stop pretending and directly rush in the direction he sensed, the aura in the distance suddenly disappeared, as if it was never there in the first place, and he could no longer feel anything.
This kind of change caused Adil to be startled, and he was unable to completely react.
Tap …
A series of footsteps came from outside, immediately attracting Adil's attention.
Outside the carriage, Eena, who was dressed in a simple yet elegant red robe and had a long sword on her waist, walked into the carriage.
"You're awake?"
Seeing Adil standing in the carriage, Eena was a little surprised, and a smile appeared on her face, "Why are you standing here?"
"I just woke up, and my legs are a little numb, so I want to stand for a while." Looking at Eena who walked into the carriage, Adil suppressed the complicated feelings he had previously, and a smile appeared on his face as he replied a little weakly.
"Your injuries are still very serious, it's best for you to sit for now." Eena nodded her head, she did not have too many doubts towards Adil's words, and only said with some concern, "Sit down."
"Okay." Adil nodded his head lightly, and with Eena's help, he carefully sat down.
After doing all this, Eena did not walk out of the carriage, but sat in Silence in the carriage, looking at Adil in front of her.
The emotions in his eyes were very complicated, there was pity, sadness, pain, and anger.
Looking at the terrible state of Adil's body, all kinds of emotions rose in her heart, causing her current emotions to become very complicated.
"You should be clear about the condition of your body, right?" After a long time, Eena opened her mouth again, breaking the silence in the carriage.
Hearing Eena's words, Adil nodded his head lightly, his face looked very calm, "I am a doctor, I am very clear about the condition of my body."
"The injuries on your body are very serious." Eena said a little complicated, "After burning your life force, if there are no accidents, your lifespan will not exceed 50 years."
"I understand." Adil smiled, "50 years is not bad, in this world, there is not much meaning in how long or short a life is, in the end, you will still die."
Hearing Adil's words, Eena did not say anything, she just looked at him silently, not saying anything for a long time.
There was a moment of silence, until after a period of time, Eena spoke again, "Actually, there is another way."
"Although you have burned your life force, if you can become a Radiant Knight, you can break through your current limits, let your body glow with new life, and extend your lifespan."
She looked at Adil, and said seriously, "Although this is not easy, I have confidence in you."
This was naturally a lie.
The difficulty of advancing from a Heavenly Knight to a Radiant Knight was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
In the Malan Empire, there were at least hundreds of Heavenly Knights, but the number of Radiant Knights, even in the peak of the Malan Empire's history, was less than 10.
One could imagine the difficulty of this, it was not something that ordinary so-called knightly geniuses could overcome.
In Eena's heart, if Adil did not burn his life force, there might be some hope, but now, the hope of success was very slim.
However, she naturally could not say this in front of Adil, so on the surface, Eena still looked very confident in Adil.
As she spoke, she also picked up a black wooden box, which happened to be placed in front of Adil.
"This is a breathing technique, consider it my gift to you."
Looking at Adil before her, she said, "You have already condensed Battle Aura wings. At this stage, the original Kokyu-ho is no longer of much use to you. You must change to a higher-level Kokyu-ho."
She looked at Adil, took out a black book from the wooden box in front of her, and said, "This is the continuation of the breathing technique from before, I will hand it over to you now."
Hearing her words, hearing her words, Adil nodded, the expression on his face still looked calm.
Seeing him like this, Eena sighed in her heart, then patted his shoulder lightly, and walked out.
"Lilith, what do you think are the chances of him advancing to a Radiant Knight?"
Eena could not help but ask as she walked out of the carriage and sensed Adil's aura behind her.
"Less than 10%." In his mind, Lilith's voice rang out, "His remaining life force is too little, and it will be difficult for him to rest until he reaches the pinnacle of the Heavenly Knight level, let alone advance to the Radiant Knight level.
"But even so, he is still a Conferred Knight."
Looking at Adil before her, she said, "You have already condensed Battle Aura wings. At this stage, the original Kokyu-ho is no longer of much use to you. You must change to a higher-level Kokyu-ho."
She looked at Adil, then took out a black book from the wooden box in front of her, and said, "This is the continuation of the breathing technique from before, I will hand it over to you now."
"I understand." Listening to her words, Adil nodded, and the expression on his face was relatively calm.
Seeing him like this, Eena sighed in her heart, then patted his shoulder lightly, and walked out.
"Lilith, what do you think are the chances of him advancing to a Radiant Knight?"
