"Has it already reached this stage?"
In the quiet room, Adil lightly sighed as he looked at Edith beside him.
As the next High Priest and even the future Elf King, the Royal Court would not let him go to battle unless it was to a certain extent.
This had nothing to do with strength; it was purely about status. Just like when two countries were at war, the King would definitely not appear on the battlefield unless it was an important moment.
This was also the case for Adil's current status. As the next High Priest and the future Moon Elf King, he was much more important than Kasi Wang and Kular. Under normal circumstances, the Royal Court would definitely not let him go to battle.
Since he was going to battle, the Royal Court would definitely be under a lot of pressure.
"When does His Majesty want me to leave?"
Turning around to look at his wife, Adil asked softly.
"Within two months is fine, but father wants it to be as soon as possible." Beside him, Edith looked at her husband worriedly, unable to hide the worry in her eyes, "Actually, according to father, if you don't want to go …"
"I have to go." Adil lightly shook his head, "Since His Majesty wants me to go, he definitely has his reasons. We don't need to worry too much."
He turned around and looked at Edith. Silently, she looked at him. Her pure eyes looked very beautiful, and the emotions contained within were very moving.
Silent, Suo Lanna lay in Edith's arms. She had already fallen asleep, her chest rising and falling, but her breathing seemed very stable.
Lightly stroking Edith's hair, Adil gently smiled and promised, "Trust me, I'll be fine."
"En." Edith lightly nodded. Looking at Adil, who was as handsome as ever and had a profound aura, she finally suppressed the worry in her heart.
One month later.
On a desolate road in the wilderness, a luxurious carriage slowly moved.
Around the carriage were groups of elite knights riding on white horses. They were all true knights who had activated their Life Seeds.
These were the people that Adil had gathered over the past few years.
With his rich experience in the Knight World, Adil was already very experienced in the Knight System.
With a complete Knight Breathing Technique as the foundation and a large amount of Knight Potions as the stimulation, one could quickly activate the Life Seed, allowing a Knight Apprentice to grow into a true Knight in just a few months, which would normally take several years to grow.
If the knight was talented or had been a knight before, it would not be impossible for him to become a Grand Knight.
That was how most of the 700 knights before him came to be.
"Is no one coming out to guide us?"
Andra, who was wearing a light blue wizard robe, frowned as he walked at the front of the group and looked at the barren path in the distance.
As a relative of Adil, he had received a lot of support from Adil over the past few years. All sorts of resources and high-grade meditation techniques were provided to him, so he had successfully become an official Magus a year ago. He had been brought out by Adil this time.
This time, in Adil's group, other than him, there were two other official Magi, one Magus who was in the transformation stage, and three Sky Knights who had been trained for the past few years.
However, Andra was Adil's kin after all. Hence, he was in charge of most of the team's affairs during the journey without Adil's interference.
"Sir, something is not right in front." On the side, a middle-aged man wearing armor walked towards Andra with a hesitant expression, "There is a very fresh trace of magic power, it should not be too long ago."
Screech!!
A sharp screech sounded in the surroundings, followed by a shadow that shrouded the surroundings.
Andra subconsciously raised his head, only to find that a large flock of giant birds had begun to soar in the air around him.
These giant birds were completely black, but their eyes were scarlet red. They had a deathly and indescribable feeling, as if they were crows reporting death.
"These are …" Looking at this scene, Andra subconsciously tensed his body and began to gather magic power in his body. He was ready to attack at any time.
"Birds of Death." A cold voice sounded in the surroundings. Even though the voice wasn't loud, it accurately rang in everyone's ears without any delay.
Next to Andra, Adil had already walked out of the carriage. His silver eyes calmly looked at the black giant birds that had gathered in the distance.
"Your Highness!"
Andra's arm trembled and he hurriedly said, "You can just wait in the carriage, leave this to us."
"There's no need." Adil shook his head and looked at the Birds of Death that had gathered in the distance. The silver light in his eyes became even more intense, "This is a barrier that has been prepared for a long time. If I let you guys come, you can indeed solve this, but that will waste time and fall into someone else's trap."
As he spoke, he raised his head and the aura around his body began to rise.
A blood-red light instantly intersected. At first, it was extremely weak, but then it became extremely bright, instantly covering the black light screen formed by the countless Birds of Death. Then, the light screen was cut apart one by one.
Bang!!
A rain of blood bloomed in the sky, accompanied by countless bird cries. It was sorrowful and resentful, like the last roar before death, rushing into the minds of the surrounding people.
However, at the next moment, a sword light flashed. Everything, whether it was the rain of blood or the bird cries, was swallowed and cut apart by the blood-red sword light. Everything turned into nothingness and disappeared.
When all the strange noises disappeared, Adil, who was beside Andra, calmly kept the blood-red sword light in his hand and then walked towards the carriage behind him.
Around him, the sky was filled with white skeletons that were dancing in the air and continuously falling from the sky. Their flesh and blood were directly swallowed by the blood-red sword light just now.
Before everyone could recover from the shock, Adil's voice continued to ring in their ears.
"Hurry up, from now on, we will rush to Triumphant Wind City at full speed."
"Within a day, I want to see what Triumphant Wind City looks like."
"Yes." Everyone at the scene bowed and respectfully accepted the order. They did not have the slightest bit of hesitation towards Adil's order.
… …
Inside the carriage, Adil sat on the cushion and looked at the sword in his hand in Silence.
In his hand, the blood-red sword was glowing in Silence. It seemed that because it had just absorbed a large amount of life force, the body of the sword was a little hot to the touch. There was a warm current surging on the surface of the sword, and as he touched it, it constantly surged towards Adil's body.
Sitting in the carriage, through his powerful soul, Adil could clearly feel the changes in his body.
The blood in his body was boiling faster, and under the influence of some kind of power, the Bloodline Imprint in Adil's body was also flashing. The silver power of the Moon Elves was circulating faster, and as time passed, it slowly became stronger.
These changes were brought about by the Bloodline Blade in his hand.
After absorbing the life force of tens of thousands of Birds of Death in one go, the Bloodline Blade seemed to have started to recover. Most of the power that it had absorbed before was stored inside the blade, and was then converted into the purest blood energy through the blade, which was used to nourish Adil's bloodline.
Adil could feel that under the nourishment of this bloodline, his bloodline was maturing faster, and the degree of transformation of his bloodline was almost ten times greater than before.
However, this kind of growth did not come without a price.
The most obvious one was the impact on his lifespan.
While the blood energy accelerated the growth of his bloodline, it also increased the loss of his lifespan, and this loss was very serious.
In just a short moment of contact and ripening, Adil could feel that his lifespan had been reduced by at least a few months.
At the same time, as the power of the blood energy gradually seeped into his body, Adil's body also underwent many changes, and many chaotic and violent emotions involuntarily appeared in his mind.
"As expected, it's not a good thing."
Shaking his head, Adil's pure and powerful soul shone brightly, purifying all the impurities that had contaminated his soul. His expression was calm. "Only 10% of the blood energy will be given to me, the master. The rest will all be used to nourish the body. How greedy."
Looking at the blade in his hand, he shook his head. While he was vigilant about this, he could not help but be interested in researching it.
Absorbing the life force of other creatures to convert it into blood energy, promoting the maturation of the bloodline and nourishing the body at the same time. Adil was very curious about how this was done.
This was the nature of Magi. When they encountered something interesting, they would always want to try to understand and master it. Adil was no exception.
However, this was not the time for research, so Adil only made a record with the chip in his mind and used some computing power to make deductions. After that, he focused on other aspects.
For example, the current situation of the war in this area.
Wind Armor City was one of the most important cities in the south of the Silver Mist Forest. After many border cities, including Morningwind City, had fallen, this city became the gateway to the south, representing a strategic location.
The loss of this place would affect a quarter of the Silver Mist Kingdom's territory. Once it fell, the heart of the kingdom would be directly exposed to the Dark Elves' attack, and the consequences would be dire.
It was precisely because this city was so important that Kasi had sent Adil, hoping to rely on his power to guard this city.
In the current kingdom, there were not many more suitable candidates than Adil.
Even if he did not take into account the majority of his hidden power, just the power he had displayed so far was already at the peak of a rank 2 Magus, reaching a peak level.
Including the Moon King's Sword in his hand, in the entire Silver Mist Forest, even Kasi would not be a match for Adil. Apart from Kular, who could still suppress him, the others were far inferior.
