The next morning, light footsteps could be heard outside the door.
A middle-aged maid gently pushed open the door, holding a broom in her hand. Just as she was about to enter, she suddenly noticed a figure inside.
She froze for a moment before quickly coming to her senses. An uneasy expression appeared on her face, "Lord Adil! You're back? "
Silent, a young man was sitting in front of a wooden table in the spacious room, holding a light blue rag in his hand and wiping a black longsword.
After seeing the maid outside the door, he turned around and looked at her, "Come in."
"Yes!" The maid nodded respectfully, feeling slightly relieved as she carefully walked into the room.
"While I was away, you were the one who cleaned my room, right?" Adil asked.
Hearing this, the maid was a little puzzled, but she still nodded and said, "Yes."
After a while, Adil continued to ask her a few more questions before he stood up and took out a few gold coins from the side and placed them on the table. "This is your reward for this period of time. When you go out, remember to get someone to bring me breakfast!"
Looking at the gold coins in front of her, the maid was overjoyed. She quickly bowed to Adil and quickly took the gold coins on the table before walking out.
When her figure gradually disappeared from Adil's sight, Adil stood up and said to himself thoughtfully, "A total of eight days have passed. It seems that the flow of time in both worlds is about the same. I'll have to pay more attention in the future."
He stood there silently for a while until the sound of footsteps could be heard outside the door.
"Adil! My brother! "A forthright and familiar voice came from outside the door.
Under Adil's gaze, Count Boria's second son, Elva, walked over from afar.
He wore a red shirt and had a longsword at his waist. His entire body was neat and tidy. At this moment, he had a sincere smile on his face as he quickly walked toward Adil.
Seeing him gradually approaching, Adil could not help but smile kindly, "Elva, why are you here?"
"I just came back a couple of days ago. As soon as I arrived at the castle, I heard that you had promoted to a knight."
Ai Hua walked up to Adil, patted him on the shoulder, and looked at him with concern. "Where have you been all this time? There are people all around the castle who couldn't find you. "
The moment he placed his hand on Adil's shoulder, Adil's body tensed up. He instinctively wanted to jump up and shake him off.
He quickly reacted and forcefully suppressed the impulse in his heart. Without batting an eyelid, he explained, "I went to the forest for a while."
"Some time ago, I asked the Hunters in this area to help me collect some materials. That's why I went out for a while and only returned now."
With regards to this explanation, Elhua did not suspect anything. He merely smiled and said, "Remember to inform the guards of the castle the next time you leave the castle. Things are different now. The situation around us is a little chaotic. It's more or less dangerous to stay outside for too long. "
Yadis nodded his head and asked curiously, "Has the situation at the frontlines reached this stage? Even the area around the castle isn't safe anymore? "
"Not to that extent." Ai Hua smiled and said, "Although the battle at the frontlines is still in a stalemate, according to the news we received, it is almost over.
"However, although the majority of the Beastmen have been suppressed, it seems that there are still some small tribes that have moved south. They have mixed in from the borders and are wreaking havoc everywhere."
At this point, he paused and then continued, "The group of Beastmen that you and Knight Pilar encountered last time should be part of these Beastmen tribes moving south. Now, they have all run into the territories of the nobles in the north and have brought us a lot of trouble."
After saying this, he continued to pat Adil's shoulder. "You should rest here for a while. In two days, there might be an order for you to lead a team to suppress the scattered Beastmen."
Adil nodded his head and walked Ai Hua to the door before stopping.
Two days later, it was just as Ai Hua had said. After learning that Adil had returned to the castle, Count Polia gave the order to transfer Adil out.
Early in the morning, Adil rode a white horse and walked in Silence to a flat area outside the castle.
There, a group of warriors had already gathered and were in formation. Among them, Adil saw a familiar figure.
At the front of the group was a tall and majestic middle-aged knight. He wore black armor and had a stern expression on his dignified face.
"Lord Pilar!"
The moment he saw the middle-aged knight, Adil quickly walked to the front of the group and shouted at him.
Hearing the familiar voice, Pilar turned to look at Adil and smiled. "Long time no see, Adil."
"It has indeed been a long time," Adil said with a respectful smile.
As he spoke, he shouted at the A.I. Chip in his mind, "A.I. Chip, analyse his stats."
In an instant, the A.I. Chip in his mind responded.
[Name: Pilar. Strength: 3.3 (4.7). Agility: 3.1 (4.4). Vitality: 3.3 (4.5).]
Looking at these numbers, Adil sighed inwardly.
It had been more than half a month since their last battle, and the aftereffects of Pilar's Life Seed had not completely disappeared. If he did not take into account the Life Seed, Pilar's current battle strength could not even compare to a newly advanced Knight.
To a certain extent, this also showed Count Polia's predicament. If he had to send out a heavily injured Knight, it was evident that he did not have many subordinates that he could use.
Of course, if Pilar was in such a state, Adil was not much better off.
[Name: Adil Farcus. Strength: 3.5 (5.1). Agility: 3.3 (5).] Vitality: 3.7 (5.3).]
This was the result of Adil's Life Seed's Life Seed's Life Seed. Although the numbers looked better, he was in a much more miserable state than Pilar's.
After all, his body's quality was much higher than Pilar's. For him to be reduced to this state was enough to show the severity of the consequences.
At this thought, Adil silently stretched his hand to his waist and took out a black crystal, holding it tightly in his palm.
A familiar warm current slowly flowed from the crystal to every part of his body. While improving his body's quality, it also sped up the healing of his injuries.
"Soon, soon …"
Silently walking to the side of the group, Adil felt the changes in his body and muttered to himself.
