"So it's something like this."
Sitting on a sofa in a spacious room, Adil flipped through a few books in his hands. Soon after, his expression became somewhat strange.
It had been some time since the day Leon came looking for him.
After agreeing to his conditions, the fog outside began to dissipate a few days later. Afterwards, the family of this body of Adil's had also been properly settled down.
Coral took his appointment and happily became his sheriff, achieving a huge reversal in his life. In an instant, he had risen from the lowest ranking police officer to the highest sheriff, causing countless of his old friends to be shocked.
Tilly was the same. After depositing the large sum of money he had obtained into the bank, Leon had arranged for her to study at the best aristocratic private academy in the area.
As for Adil, at his own request, he had entered the largest library in the area and continuously read through all sorts of information.
Every day, under Leon's orders, many new books would be sent in. Among them, there was no lack of deep secrets of this world, as well as research on curses and shamans.
"So the so-called shamans are actually this kind of thing."
Lightly closing the book in his hand, Adil shook his head, a somewhat disappointed expression on his face.
The supernatural system of this world was very unique. It seemed to be completely made to deal with curses.
In many countries around the world, there would be many supernatural incidents occurring every day. These incidents were classified as curses, and were divided into different grades according to their power.
As for the main force of this world's resistance against curses, the so-called shamans, this caused Adil to feel somewhat disappointed.
The shamans of this world mainly relied on the power of their bloodline. All shamans had an ancestor who was an Awakened, so compared to ordinary people, their blood more or less inherited a portion of the Awakened's power, which was the so-called spiritual force.
Through a secret method, the shamans continuously nourished the spiritual force in their bodies. Once the spiritual force in their bodies was strong enough, they could search for special cursed objects and use their own spiritual force to subdue the curse. Then, they could obtain a portion of the cursed object's power and become a powerful shaman.
This was the source of the shamans of this world, and also the reason why Adil was disappointed.
"The so-called Spiritual Energy, at its source, is the power transmitted through the bloodline. Ordinary people can't obtain it through learning."
"Those so-called shamans completely rely on the power of external objects. If they want to become stronger, they can only constantly find stronger cursed objects to replace. There's no learning value at all."
Shaking his head, Adil recalled the information in his mind and felt a little disappointed.
This unique supernatural system was completely dependent on fate. Whether a person could become a powerful shaman depended entirely on their own bloodline and the cursed item in their hands. There was not much to learn from it.
Strictly speaking, Wizards and Knights also depended on fate. At the very least, there were aptitude requirements in the early stages. However, Wizards and Knights at least had a complete supporting system. As long as the conditions were met, they could advance all the way to the peak. Compared to the system of Shamans, which completely depended on fate, it was much better.
There was a limit to a Spirit Medium's bloodline. No matter how strong and nourished the spiritual energy in their bodies was, it was impossible for them to be stronger than the first generation Awakened. As for cursed objects, they were even rarer. They could only be born from curses. Not only were they rare, but they were also extremely difficult to obtain.
This limited the quality and quantity of Spirit Medium in this world. They could only stay at the same level, unable to break through to a certain level.
"But if that's the case, then it makes sense why Leon cares so much about me, an Awakened."
Silently standing up, looking at the sunlight outside the room, Adil silently raised his head.
Obviously, some of Adil's previous performance, in the eyes of some people in this world, was the performance of an Awakened.
Only a natural first generation Awakened could not rely on cursed objects and could only rely on their own strength to fight against curses.
"It can be considered as a lucky hit."
Thinking of this, he had nothing else to say.
Bang … bang … bang …
At this time, a light knocking sound came from outside the door. Accompanying the knocking sound was a girl's soft and gentle voice.
"Mr. Sim, Governor Leon is asking for you."
"Tell the governor that I'll be there soon." Lightly turning around, hearing this, Adil was not surprised at all.
After walking around for a while, he put down a few books neatly, then tidied up his clothes and walked out.
There were servants and maids walking along the corridor. After seeing Adil, they all slightly lowered their heads, for fear of attracting his attention.
This part of the road didn't take long, about a few minutes later, he walked to a spacious living room.
In the living room, Leon was wearing a black trench coat. At this time, his face looked very serious, and he was seriously talking about something with a middle-aged man next to him.
During the conversation, through his sharp Spirit Power, Adil caught some content, which seemed to be related to forbidden areas and curses.
"Sim, you're here."
Seeing Adil walking in from outside, Sim and the middle-aged man stopped talking and looked at him with a kind face, it seemed that they were easy to get along with.
"Come, let me introduce you, this is Baron Venus, you can call him Mr. Venus."
He looked at the middle-aged man standing next to him and enthusiastically introduced him to Adil.
"Hello, Sim."
Venus had a stiff smile on his face as he looked at Adil seriously, as if he was trying to remember his face.
He looked to be around 40 years old and wore a large red robe. His expression was stiff, and he had a long beard. He looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, and there was nothing special about him.
However, even though he looked like that, Adil would not underestimate him.
There was a unique power flowing within her body. It was similar to the power in Teresa's body, but it was far more powerful than Teresa's.
"A shaman?"
The thought flashed in his mind, but on the surface, Adil still smiled politely, looking like an ordinary shy boy.
"This time, I asked you to come over because I hope you can help me with something."
Looking at Adil, Leon did not waste any time and went straight to the point, "We are going to a place that might be dangerous.
To ensure safety, I hope you can go with us in three days. Is there a problem? "
He lowered his body, looked at Adil, and made a sincere request.
"Sure."
Lightly glancing at Venus beside him, Adil nodded without much hesitation.
He could imagine that the place Leon was talking about was most likely a cursed land, and there would be terrifying curses lingering there.
But that was good.
To other people, and even shamans, curses were things that would cause people to pale at the mere mention of them. However, to Adil, these things were still somewhat useful. At the very least, he could use them to harvest Realm Energy.
However, even though he thought so in his heart, he did not show it on his face. He just nodded in Silence, turned around, and walked out. He had no intention of staying.
"A 12-year-old Awakened is quite rare."
In the living room, Venus watched Adil's figure disappear from her sight and felt a little emotional.
"When I first got the news, I was also surprised." Leon raised his head and smiled. "No, even though he's younger, to some extent, this is also an advantage."
Compared to those Awakened who are hostile to us for no reason, this child is much cuter. "
"Indeed." Hearing this, Venus nodded in agreement.
There were no rules to the awakening of an Awakened. It was only related to one's physique and will.
In the past few years, as the curses became more active, Awakened began to appear in various kingdoms. The Kingdom of Orchid was no exception.
However, because of their awakening, these Awakened were all unruly and unruly. Relying on the power they had after awakening, they even dared to resist the rule of the kingdom, causing many murders.
A few months ago, in the capital of the Kingdom of Orchid, there was a case of an Awakened who went on a rampage.
A child of a small family who had been bullied suddenly awakened. After obtaining great power, the first thing he did was to kill his family's enemy, a hereditary Viscount. He did not let a single one of the Viscount's clansmen escape. After that, he fled, and even now, no trace of him has been found.
Comparatively speaking, this Awakened, Adil, was much more satisfactory. He was not from another noble family, and he was only 12 years old this year. He was still very malleable, and he would not easily go on a rampage and hurt people.
"By the way, how is the situation in the capital?"
After standing at the same place and chatting for a while, Leon seemed to have suddenly thought of something and asked Venus who was beside him.
"It's a little bad." Venus shook his head, "His Majesty is seriously ill, and the few princes are fighting with each other. For a while, there is no power to suppress the forbidden land …"
"Looks like we can only rely on ourselves." Leon's face revealed a cold smile, "But this is also good, it saves us the trouble."
"There is another news." Venus's face showed hesitation, "According to the current situation, the next opening of the Nightmare Manor is not far away. Should we send someone in?"
"Of course." Leon nodded without hesitation, "Nightmare Manor, this forbidden land has many cursed items. Since we have encountered it, of course we can't miss it."
"But then, our manpower will be even more scarce …"
… …
Intermittent words continuously brushed past his ears, gradually becoming vague and soft.
Standing on the balcony, using his strong mental power to secretly eavesdrop on the conversation between Leon and Venus, Adil's expression did not change. "Nightmare Manor, another familiar name."
Before the curse of the Holy Grace Academy broke out, he had come into contact with Teresa once, and at that time, they reached a preliminary cooperation.
At that time, Teresa hoped that he could enter the Nightmare Manor once and take something from it.
Now, it seemed that the thing that Teresa wanted him to take out might be a cursed item.
"Forbidden land?"
Thinking of the legend of the Nightmare Manor, he muttered, then turned around and left the balcony.
At noon the next day, on the spacious road, on the road, several black police cars drove along the long road into the distance.
"Have we arrived?"
Sitting in the police car at the front, Coral looked at the surrounding terrain, compared the map in his hand, and asked the police officer beside him.
Compared to the past, Coral seemed to have changed a lot. Not only did he change from his police uniform to a black suit, but he also looked more spirited, and his originally cold and gloomy face had a bit of majesty, looking quite presentable.
He sat in the back seat of the car, looking at the terrain, and beside him sat a little boy who looked about ten years old.
"Sir Coral, we're almost there," the police officer in charge of driving replied after comparing the terrain.
"Mmm." Coral nodded with a cold expression, then turned to look at the boy beside him, and his expression softened a little. "Ximu, do you feel anything?"
Hearing his words, the boy reacted a little, no longer looking out the window, and looked at Coral. "No."
"Not yet?" Coral muttered, "Looks like we have to go in a bit more."
Bang!
A cracking sound suddenly rang out, as if a piece of dynamite had exploded, causing a loud noise in the surroundings.
In the sky, countless flying rocks fell from the sky, bringing with them an endless amount of dust, and their target seemed to be Coral's car.
Under the shocked gazes of countless people, these flying rocks and dust quickly fell, and were about to smash into the car.
Whoosh …
A faint ripple appeared in the air, and at this moment, a silver brilliance filled the air. Within the silver brilliance, there was a reaction of boiling energy particles, instantly forming a small barrier, and all the matter that smashed into this place was bounced away.
Distortion Barrier!
This was the first spell that Adil had solidified, and it was also the first level 1 spell that Adil had grasped. At this moment, he forcefully mobilized a bit of magic power, and once again cast it.
In the sky, all the dust and falling rocks disappeared, instantly distorted by an enormous power, and directly smashed in the direction from which they came, causing no harm to anyone.
Clap … clap … clap …
A loud applause sounded from behind.
Behind Adil, Leon, who was wearing a black trench coat, clapped as he walked towards Adil, "You reacted in time, or else we would have been in trouble."
Seeing Leon walking over, Coral slightly lowered his head and said, "This is what Ximu should do."
"Looks like there are people here who don't welcome us in." Leon walked up to Coral and nodded at him. Then, he walked to Adil's side and raised his head to look ahead.
In his vision, there was only smoke and darkness in front of him. Waves of black energy enveloped the surroundings, occasionally surging into the sky, dyeing the entire sky a little black.
This seemed to be a very ancient ruin.
