"Moon King Sword …"
Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar name, Adil frowned slightly.
It was not because the other party knew that he had the Moon King Sword; this was not difficult to guess.
It was because of the Moon King Sword's protection, as well as the fact that Adil's strength was already at the peak of the Mason region, that Cular dared to let Adil travel alone instead of being protected by a large army at all times.
What surprised him was that the other party knew that he had the Moon King Sword, but had still come to attack him, not hesitating to make a move here.
One must know that this place wasn't too far from where Kural lived. Moreover, Adil hadn't left for long. If there was even the slightest disturbance, Cular would rush over immediately.
Since the other party dared to attack Adil under these circumstances, he was undoubtedly very confident.
"Don't think too much."
Lu Xiu looked at Adil and felt the deep and powerful aura from his body. He sighed in admiration and said, "I don't have any other motives. As an elf, I also want to see what a so-called pure-blooded looks like."
Bang!
Without a sound, a silver sword shot out and pierced through his chest.
As for the sword that had pierced his chest, he seemed to not have noticed it at all. He still had a calm smile on his face as he stood there quietly.
Adil did not move, and he only looked at Lu Xiu's figure in Silence. He watched as Lu Xiu gradually became illusory and then slowly disappeared.
"Is he gone?"
He turned and looked in a certain direction. After confirming that Lu Xiu's aura had disappeared, he turned and looked back.
There was a strange aura at the place where Lu Xiu had stopped.
It was a black gemstone about the size of a fist. It gave off a dark glow and looked very beautiful.
Of course, its beauty did not attract Adil. What he cared about was the unique aura on the gemstone, as well as the attraction that came from the depths of his soul.
His intuition told him that this gemstone would be very beneficial to him.
Feeling this kind of feeling, Adil frowned, a large amount of data was surging in his mind, the A.I. Chip was continuously pulling out the database, and the final result was obtained, "This is … black eye stone?"
He said the name hesitantly. He wasn't sure about the result.
The Black Eye Stone was a unique material that was only produced in the Underworld and was extremely rare. Even the nobles of the Underworld rarely saw it, let alone the Surface World.
Adil was able to recognize this material because he had collected all the books of the entire elven race and knew some of the properties of this material from a few records. That was why he could barely distinguish it.
If someone else had been here, even the Chief Elven Priest Kular wouldn't have been able to recognize him immediately.
"Black Eye Stone, raising the soul aptitude and being radiated into an underground lifeform. So this was their plan?"
In an instant, Adil grasped some of the key points.
"Your Highness Adil, did something happen?" A voice sounded from behind.
It was the coachman who had been driving the carriage. After Lu Xiu left, he broke free from the illusion and immediately woke up, vigilantly picking up the sword at his waist.
"I'm fine now."
Adil said and put away the black eye stone with a calm expression. He walked to the carriage and said, "Let's go, we'll continue to leave."
After a while, the carriage began to move slowly towards its previous destination.
After a long while, a figure appeared where it had been.
Lu Xiu was wearing a grey robe and his grey eyes were cloudy yet clear, his face expressionless.
"Did you just give it to him like that?" A unique hoarse voice sounded from the side.
Andrew stood up from the grass and looked at Adil leaving in the distance. He also looked at the Black Eye Stone with complicated feelings.
Sensing Andrew's complicated feelings, Lu Xiu smiled and said, "Are you feeling heartache?"
"Of course. Who doesn't want good stuff?" Andrew admitted frankly. "Also, are you sure he'll take the bait?"
"Based on my understanding of him, I'm afraid he won't even use it after knowing the effect of the black eye stone."
"It's just a test," Lu Xiu said calmly. "Under normal circumstances, he naturally won't use it. But what if the Silver Mist Kingdom really can't make it?"
"I've found out that he has family, people, friends, and subordinates. If it really comes to the last step and the Silver Mist Elves are done for, what will he do? "
"By then, he'll have no choice, be it for his family or his future," Lu Xiu said plainly.
He said calmly, "But as long as he chose to use that Black Eye Stone, his fate was sealed."
"Huh?" Andrew was a little surprised. "There's something wrong with the black eye stone?"
"There's nothing wrong with the black eye stone itself, but I added something into it," Lu Xiu said calmly. "The brain fluid of the Mother Mind Stealer."
As soon as he said that, Andrew's eyes widened and his heart raced. Fear and dread subconsciously surfaced in his eyes.
The Mind Stealer was definitely a terrifying race. Be it in the underworld or the surface world, they had left horrifying records.
This race lived by sucking the brains of other living beings. They were born with powerful psionic abilities and could infect and manipulate other living beings.
This kind of infection was not ordinary control. Instead, it would slowly affect one's mind and eventually make one regard the Mind Stealer as the most important person in one's life. Under the condition of maintaining one's freedom, one would willingly be controlled by it.
Even if it was a Level 1 Mind Flayer, given enough time, it would be able to develop an army or even directly rule over a region.
As for the Mother Mind Stealer, it was the last level-4 Mind Stealer recorded in the underworld.
This Mind Stealer had once built a huge empire of Mind Stealers. Back then, be it the Dark Elves or other races, they were all slaves of the Mind Stealer. It was not until the fall of the Mother Mind Stealer that the empire of Mind Stealer slowly collapsed, allowing the major races to regain their freedom.
"With the power of the Mother Mind Stealer, beings below level-4 can't resist at all …" Lu Xiu said in Silence.
"No matter what the process is, as long as he uses the black eye stone in the end, the result will be sealed."
"As long as we defeat the Silver Mist Kingdom in the end and rule over this huge surface world, I'm afraid he won't have a choice even if he doesn't want to," Andrew added after a moment of silence. His gray eyes looked very deep.
… …
"Black eye stone. What a big deal."
On the other side, Adil returned to his courtyard and looked at the black gem in his hand. He shook his head and sighed.
Even though he wasn't a lifeform of the underworld, he knew what the black eye stone in front of him represented.
To put it bluntly, this was an item that could change one's fate. Even for the current Adil, it was a rare item.
"It's a good item, but it's a pity …"
Adil felt a little regretful as he kept the black eye stone in front of him.
He didn't know what Lu Xiu and the others were planning, but he was destined to not use this black eye stone himself.
According to the records, a material like the black eye stone could indeed increase the aptitude of a Sorcerer's soul. However, correspondingly, they would also be affected by the radiation and gradually evolve into an underworld lifeform.
It would be fine if it was just changing a layer of skin. As a Sorcerer, although Adil didn't completely ignore this aspect, he didn't place much importance on it either.
However, the key point was that the reason why an underworld lifeform was an underworld lifeform was not just because of the changes in their appearance.
Underworld lifeforms were affected by the radiation of the underworld for a long period of time. More or less, they would have some sort of deranged trait in their bodies, causing their personalities to become extreme and cold. Their rationality would also be easily affected.
This was the biggest difference between the surface lifeforms and the underworld lifeforms, and also the main reason why the two kept on fighting.
If Adil were to transform himself into an underworld lifeform, under the influence of the black eye stone's radiation, his rationality would definitely be slowly affected by the energy within. Eventually, his personality would change and he would become a completely different person.
However, this kind of change was not what Adil wanted.
Hence, no matter what, he would definitely not use it.
Not only would he not use it, he would not even let his loved ones use it. This was to prevent the people around him from being affected and becoming someone else.
"It's a good item after all. If there's a chance in the future, I'll use it again."
Shaking his head, Adil stood up and walked out of the hall, returning to his room.
After dismissing the servants and guards around him, he closed the door and closed his eyes. Under the influence of some kind of power, his consciousness gradually sank and began to communicate with a mysterious existence.
In the depths of his soul, a purple mark of fate was flashing. The light that was released from it gradually became brighter and brighter, slowly enveloping Adil's entire body.
A huge world slowly revealed itself and slowly came to Adil's side.
It was a very large city. Every building, every inch of grass and trees were extremely real, as if it was a real world.
"Traveler of fate, welcome to the world of fate …" In his mind, a light murmur sounded out, without a single trace of emotion.

PS: I recommend a book from my friend, 《Chinese Entertainment's Smile》. I've read this book and feel that it's written quite well. According to the author, it's a bit hard to collect right now. I hope that everyone can help me take a look and bookmark it (covering face). Below is the introduction:
