"From the looks of it, this world is indeed not simple."
Sitting under the shade of a tree and sending Loen off, Adil fell into deep thought. "The so-called Ancient King?"
The benefit of reincarnating as a prince was that he could be at the top of society from the very beginning. He could know secrets that ordinary people did not know, such as the Ancient King.
The so-called Ancient King was a widely spread legend in this world.
According to folklore, in the desolate times of the world, gods had descended and led the people who were still in a primitive stage to rise. They broke the rule of the Evil Dynasty and created the new world that it was today.
The Ancient King was the strongest existence in the world. They could shatter the heavens with a raise of their hands, and with a single thought, they could sink the continent into the sea. They were the greatest and eternal existences in the world.
If it were an ordinary person, after hearing all the rumors about the Ancient King, they would most likely think that it was just an ordinary folktale. However, after inheriting Sisso's memories, Adil understood that it wasn't a legend at all, but something that had really happened.
The Ancient King had indeed existed, and he had been active thousands of years ago. However, with the passage of time, he had gradually disappeared.
As for why the original Caesar was so certain?
Adil waved his hand, and a faint blood-colored halo gradually appeared on his hand. There seemed to be a crimson bloodline mark flickering within it, containing a blazing and massive power.
This power was different from Magic Power or life energy. It was more similar to Adil's Moon Elf Power. It came from the bloodline and had nothing to do with one's hard work.
In other words, this was actually a type of bloodline power.
"Bloodline power. The so-called Karad royal family is actually a descendant of the Ancient King's bloodline?"
Sensing the power contained in this body, Adil could not help but shake his head. "Too weak."
This weak did not refer to the Ancient King, but to this body.
From what Adil sensed, the bloodline power contained in this body could not even compare to that of an ordinary elven noble, much less his main body. It was a waste of his status as a member of the royal family.
The reason he was able to activate the bloodline imprint was actually because of Adil's powerful control, which allowed him to accurately find the thin bloodline in his body and activate it using his own bloodline.
If it was the original Sisso, apart from having a slightly stronger body and a slightly longer lifespan, there wouldn't be any difference at all.
"A piece of trash like him. It's no wonder that he was chased out and reduced from a prince to a border lord."
Sitting under the shade of the tree, Adil shook his head and gradually fell into deep thought.
From Sisso's original memories, Adil did not find any other Transcendent system. It was basically based on bloodline. Experts were experts from the very beginning, and commoners were commoners from the very beginning. It was all based on one's birth.
Of course, one couldn't rule out the possibility that Sisso hadn't awakened his bloodline yet and hadn't truly awakened his bloodline.
If one could not awaken their bloodline, they would not be able to become a true Transcendent. Naturally, they would not know many things clearly.
"Forget it, there's still a lot of time left. Let's stabilize first, then slowly explore the situation of this world."
Finally, Adil got up and looked at the endless forest in the distance.
After advancing to the fourth level, he was in the Mason region, so he wasn't as pressed for time as before. He could slowly explore without being in a rush like before.
The threat of the calamity curse on him had decreased after he advanced to the fourth level. Once the jade mark completely vanished, Adil was confident that he could suppress the curse on him.
With such conditions, with his lifespan at the fourth level, he still had plenty of time to spend. There was no need for him to be in a rush.
Under the shade of the tree, more than half an hour passed before the entire group set off once again. Under Loen's lead, they headed for their current destination.
During this process, Adil did not say a word, remaining as silent as before. However, the maidservants that were always in the carriage were gone. They had been chased to the other carriages.
This interlude did not surprise anyone. Under the scorching sun, the entire group slowly proceeded forward just like before.
It was only at dusk that they gradually came to a stop and arrived at their destination.
"Only these few people?"
Outside the dusk sky, Adil walked down from the carriage and looked at the scene in front of him with a slight frown. Coupled with his tall and straight figure, he exuded a dignified aura without being angry.
In front of him, an old man dressed in a red linen robe stood trembling in fear. Behind him was a welcoming group of about 200 people.
This group was the city's guards. At this moment, with the arrival of the new feudal lord, Adil, all of them were mobilized by the local sheriff to welcome him.
And what made Adil frown was the state of these guards. Not only did they look malnourished, their armor was also damaged. Some of them even came wearing beast skin clothes. They didn't have any decent equipment at all.
Be it in terms of spirit or their equipment, they didn't look like an army. Instead, they looked like a group of farmers.
"It might really be the case …"
Adil shook his head and looked expressionlessly at the old man in front of him, who was also the city's auxiliary official. "Why are there so few people?"
"Isn't it said that Sisri City has a full complement of 500 guards? Why are there only 200 here? "
He looked at the old man in front of him and said coldly.
If it were the original Sisri, he might not be able to figure out the situation in front of him, but Adil wasn't.
He had roughly figured out some common sense things through his discussion with Loen on the way here. This included part of the situation in the city in front of him.
As one of the few cities in the Karad Empire in Elka State, Sisri City was undoubtedly a poor city. Not to mention compared to those prosperous areas, it was far inferior even compared to ordinary places. It could be said to be a poor and remote place.
This city was most famous for all kinds of chaos, bandits, robbers, and conflicts between various ethnic minorities.
It was also because of this that the military strength of this border city was not bad. Under the original rule of the empire, it had a complement of 500 warriors and enjoyed a military expenditure of 500 people.
According to Loen's previous investigations, the number of warriors in Sisri City was undoubtedly full, which was a total of 500 armored warriors.
And in front of Adil, there wasn't even half of the full number, let alone 500.
