Early in the morning, the weak sunlight gradually rose, waking people up from their slumber.
When the first rays of the morning sun lit up the sky, the residents of North Maple Town climbed out of their warm beds and began their busy day.
"Mr. Yadis, someone is coming!"
Sitting in front of the wooden cabinet in Silence, Adil was arranging the materials in his hands when he heard a voice coming from outside.
That was Meng La's voice. At that moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside.
He was wearing a set of neat new clothes. Compared to when they first met, his complexion was much better. Currently, he was shouting while carrying a dark-skinned young man in with a few muscular men.
Looking at this situation, Adil wasn't surprised. He put down the materials in his hands and stood up with the help of the wooden cabinet at the side.
Beside him, seeing how he was struggling to stand up, Qimi hurriedly held onto Adil's shoulder so that he wouldn't have to struggle so much.
"Mister, please take a look."
Among the crowd beside Meng La, a middle-aged man with a distressed expression said, "When I woke up this morning, my child became like this."
"He was poisoned." After checking, Adil looked at the young man on the ground and said, "He was probably bitten by a venomous snake."
"Venomous snake?" Hearing this, the middle-aged man's face instantly turned pale.
Although North Maple Town was located in a remote area, it wasn't that it didn't have any special products.
This place was rich in all kinds of venomous snakes and insects. Every year, it would attract a lot of merchants to come here to purchase goods.
In this kind of environment, the residents here weren't unfamiliar with all kinds of venomous snakes.
"If the venom of the White Gallbladder Snake came a few days later, I'm afraid that he would have directly died."
Looking at the young man in front of him, Adil shook his head slightly, "It's not a big problem, come back in a week to collect him."
Only then did the surrounding people let out a sigh of relief.
However, at the same time that he let out a sigh of relief, looking at Adil in front of him, the middle-aged man's face also became a bit nervous, "This … may I know how much it will cost?"
"10 standard silver coins …" Casually looking around, Adil gave a price, "Or 100 purple bamboo shoots."
Listening to Adil's offer, the middle-aged man's face first turned pale, and then he relaxed a little, although he still looked serious.
Because they needed to gather the materials within a week, they quickly turned around and left. It seemed like they were going to the wild to collect the materials.
Looking at the backs of these people leaving in a hurry, Adil shook his head and got the apprentice to move the young man under his feet to the courtyard at the side.
"Mister Yadis …" At the side, looking at Adil's figure, Qimi was a bit puzzled, "Isn't the price of 10 silver coins a bit too expensive …"
"Can we lower the price a little to attract more customers?" She looked at Adil and suggested carefully.
"It's not expensive anymore." Adil shook his head and didn't say anything more on this issue.
The reason why he opened a medical center was just to make it convenient to collect some materials. As for treating people, it was just something he did along the way. He didn't lack that bit of money.
In fact, as a rank 2 Magus, it was already not bad for him to waste his time to treat some mortals.
10 silver coins wasn't considered a high price. Back when he opened a medical center in Malan Academy, Adil's fees were even more ridiculous than this. Every treatment was calculated using purple gold coins. It was also popular every day. The number of people who came to seek treatment almost broke the doorstep.
The reason why he set the price of 10 silver coins was to set a threshold to reduce the time wasted. Otherwise, if he really charged a low price just because of a moment of kindness, then he wouldn't need to do anything else. He would just have to treat the patients that came to him every day.
However, he naturally couldn't say these reasons out loud. So, he just shook his head, got up with difficulty and walked outside.
The side effects of the impact of the world's power had not completely disappeared.
Even after a few months of recuperation, he would still be out of breath after standing for a long time.
Adil estimated that, according to this speed, it would take another half a year for him to completely recover.
Walking all the way out of the medical center, there was a large courtyard outside. It was divided into two parts by Adil. One part was used to accommodate the patients, and the other part was set up as a flat training ground.
Walking to the training ground, he casually pulled out an iron sword from the weapon rack, and a familiar feeling suddenly floated to his heart.
It was the feeling that had been developed through years of training. Even at this time, his body was still weak, he still hadn't forgotten it.
Following this feeling, Adil raised the sword, just like the first time he picked up a long sword in the past, meticulously and seriously training.
The long sword continued to slash in the air, leaving a sword shadow. The sword wind that was left behind spread out in all directions, adding a sense of momentum to Adil out of thin air.
He slowly trained like this, through continuous activity, his body recovered as soon as possible.
And while he was training, in the distance, a young man hid behind a big tree, at this time, at this time, he was seriously peeping at him.
Looking at Adil's precise movements, his eyes were filled with fanaticism and longing. He was currently focused on peeping at Adil, not daring to let out the slightest bit of sound.
This process continued all the way until Adil's training ended. Only then did he close his eyes, turn around a bit regretfully, and prepare to secretly run back through a small path.
"Mengla, you are slacking off."
Just that, at this time, an unexpected voice sounded out from behind, causing the young man's heart to jump up.
He turned around, lowered his head, and looked towards Adil, looking very nervous, "I'm sorry, mister …"
"I am not slacking off, I have already completed all of the things that you have given me …"
He explained in a low voice, just like a child who had done something wrong, and he didn't dare to raise his head and look towards Adil.
Even though he was in a small town, Mengla knew how serious the matter of peeping at a Knight's training was.
If it was at another Knight's place, he might have already been destined to be hanged to death.
Of course, after getting along with Adil for these few months, he understood a bit about Adil's temper, and it was unlikely that Adil would hang him to death.
However, even if it were any other punishment, the young man wouldn't be able to bear it.
One must know that both he and his younger sister were currently apprentices under Adil, and if Adil were to get angry, they would most likely return to the graveyard of the past and become companions with countless corpses.
Thinking up to here, his mind went blank, and his back was practically drenched in cold sweat.
Standing in front of him and looking at his current reaction, Adil just smiled, then looked at him and said, "You are peeping at me while I am training, what are you trying to do?"
Adil was naturally aware of the matter of Mengla peeping at him while he was training.
However, it was just like what Mengla had said, every time he came to peep, he would only come after he had finished his daily work, and it didn't cause much of an impact. Thus, Adil chose to silently allow it.
As for why Mengla spoke out today, it was because Mengla himself had a problem.
Not only did Mengla peep at Adil's training, after he returned, he even secretly trained by himself.
He did not receive any systematic guidance, nor did he have the assistance of Adil's A.I. Chip. In the end, what he trained was naturally full of mistakes, and he developed incorrect habits.
If Adil did not stop him, he would probably end up crippling himself after a long period of time.
"I want to be like you, mister, and become a Knight!"
Hearing Adil's words, Mengla forcefully suppressed the nervousness in his heart and mustered his courage to speak loudly.
He had mentioned this goal to others many times before, but other than his younger sister, he had only received mockery.
"Not a bad ambition." Adil did not mock him, and he merely passed the sword in his hand to Mengla.
"Mister Adil …" Looking at Adil's actions, Mengla seemed to be pleasantly surprised.
"Give it a try." Adil's expression was calm, and he spoke casually.
Seeing this, Mengla immediately stopped hesitating and took the sword in Adil's hand, beginning to demonstrate.
What he demonstrated was the basic sword technique that Adil used the most. The A.I. Chip had spent a lot of time summarizing it, and it was very strict and complicated.
Maybe it was because he was nervous, but Mengla's movements in front of Adil were somewhat jerky at the start. However, as he got into the groove, his movements became faster and faster, finally reaching a level that shocked even Adil.
"This progress …"
Looking at Mengla's increasingly smooth movements, Adil was a little surprised.
As the creator and the person who perfected this basic sword technique, he understood the difficulty of learning this sword technique. If an ordinary person wanted to completely learn it, they would have to spend at least half a year.
However, Mengla had only secretly learned it for a dozen days, and he could already use it to a decent level. If there was someone to guide him carefully, he would probably be able to master this sword technique very quickly.
There was no doubt that he was a genius, and he was worthy of being looked at in a new light.
"Mister Yadis."
Very quickly, Mengla finished demonstrating the sword technique in front of Adil. He looked at Adil expectantly, waiting for his reaction.
"Not bad." Nodding his head lightly, Adil took his sword calmly. As he turned around, he said, "In the future, if you want to come and watch, you can come directly."
"Yes!" As soon as he finished speaking, Mengla beamed with joy, and his heart was filled with excitement.
With Adil's permission, he would come and watch Adil's training every day for the next half a month.
After testing, he indeed had the aptitude to become a Knight, and his aptitude was rather good.
Out of all the people that Adil had seen in this world, perhaps only Elena and Clades could surpass him.
Maybe it was to repay Mengla for carrying him down the mountain, or maybe it was because he did not want to see a good seedling being buried, Adil finally accepted Mengla as his student. Not only did he teach him battle techniques, he also taught him the basic Knights' breathing technique.
