As time passed, Adil and the others continued to head south.
After a few days, they finally arrived at the region before them. The surroundings were no longer a stretch of wilderness, and people and caravans gradually appeared.
They followed these people on a rough path, and very soon, they arrived at the Bablon Duchy not far away.
Noon. Walking at the very front of the group, Adil looked into the distance.
A city was already in sight in the distance, condensing into a dot in his line of sight.
In the group, the others did not have as good a line of sight as he did, and could not see the city in the distance. However, this did not prevent them from learning about this matter through various sources.
As Pular, who had gone ahead to investigate, relayed the news back to the group that they were about to arrive, the atmosphere in the group became more relaxed. The oppressive atmosphere caused by the long journey was also lifted.
Seeing the gradually increasing number of people in front of them, the people in the group could not help but smile. Even Elwa, who had always appeared dispirited, now stepped out of the carriage, a smile on his face.
"After walking for a while, our people will be waiting for you in front."
In the distance, Blar galloped over on his horse and spoke to Elwa.
In order to save time, a month or so ago, he had sent a few of the knights in the group to go ahead and inform the people in the south to welcome them. At this moment, they had almost reached the front and were about to rendezvous with them.
After a while, as they got closer, Adil looked ahead.
There, a large group was heading towards them. There were at least one or two hundred people.
Leading the group was an old man dressed in a black coat. At this moment, he was riding a horse and quickly galloping towards Adil's group.
A figure quickly galloped out from behind Adil.
Pular was dressed in armour, and with a smile on his face, he welcomed the old man who was running towards him. "Vara, long time no see!"
"It has indeed been a long time." Opposite him, seeing Pular, the old man's originally calm and serious face also squeezed out a smile.
They walked to the middle of the two groups and quickly dismounted. They gave each other a hug before starting to arrange other matters.
"I already know what happened. Where's Lord Poria's child?"
Vara looked at Pulaar and asked with a sigh.
At the mention of Elwa, Pular's expression immediately became a bit ugly. He just stood where he was and said, "Lord Elwa is still resting in the carriage behind us."
Seeing Pralle's expression, Vara pondered, then slowly looked behind Pralle.
His eyes were very sharp, and he quickly scanned the front of the team with a scrutinizing gaze. When he saw Adil on horseback, his eyes immediately lit up.
"Could this be?" He looked at Pular and asked in an inquiring tone.
"That's right." Pilar nodded. "His name is Adil. He's Baron Ashland's child and a rare half-elf."
"Half-elf." Hearing this, Vara's eyes lit up. She stared at Adil as if she was looking at a rare treasure.
Behind him was a middle-aged man in noble attire. At this time, he was following behind him. He was also constantly sizing up Adil in the distance with intense passion in his eyes.
His behavior caught Pulaar's attention, and he could not help but ask, "This is?"
"He's from his family in the south. He's Duke Ariel's nephew," Vara came back to his senses and explained to Pulaar.
"Greetings, I'm Sydru." The middle-aged noble behind Vara smiled warmly.
"So it's Lord Sydru!" Looking at the middle-aged noble in front of him, Pulaar's expression immediately showed respect and admiration, "I didn't think that Duke Ariel would send someone over this time."
As descendants of Magi, the Farcus family had far more than just Count Poria's branch.
The south was the Farcus family's main base, and there were many branches of the family. Some of them were even stronger than Count Poria's branch.
Duke Ariel was one of the strongest, and directly ruled over a small duchy. He was very powerful. He was even stronger than Count Poria who had ruled over the north.
"There's no helping it." Hearing Pulaar's words, Sydru smiled bitterly, "The bloodline of our ancestors has become thinner and thinner. In the past hundred years, there have been fewer and fewer people with aptitude in the family. We have to pay attention to each and every one of them.
"Besides, it's not just our clansmen who have appeared this time, but also a half-elf."
At this point, a smile appeared on Sydru's face, "As a half-elf, even if this child can't become a Magus, there's at least a 50% chance that his child will have talent. If he can become an official Magus, then at least three generations of his descendants will definitely have the talent to become a Magus. This is very important to us. "
They chatted for a while, leaving behind a group of people to bring the migrating nobles into the city to settle down. Only Elwa, Adil, and a few others were left behind.
"Lord Sydru."
After a brief introduction, a gentle smile appeared on Adil's face.
[Name: Sydru Farcus. Strength: 5.4. Agility: 5.7. Vitality: 5.6.]
The A.I. Chip's robotic voice sounded in his mind once more, causing Adil to be inwardly alarmed.
This was a Grand Knight. Even though he was far from being a match for Adil, he still made him shiver inwardly.
There had only been two Grand Knights in the north, but now that he'd met one in the south, Adil couldn't help but be surprised.
Of course, it could also be that Count Ariel had specially sent a Grand Knight for his own safety.
"Lord Poria should have told you that Duke Ariel will take care of you after you come to the south." Seeing Adil's expression, Sydru smiled, looking very satisfied with Adil, "Even though you're Lord Poria's descendant, you're also one of our clansmen. Duke Ariel is also your uncle, so you can go to our place without worry."
Hearing this, Pulaar fell silent. After a long while, he said, "I'll settle down in Bablon with Elwa. Don't worry about us."
"Since that's the case, I'll leave it to the two of you." Adil's smile did not change, and he spoke very sincerely.
Beside Pulaar, Vara and Sydru smiled at the same time, secretly heaving a sigh of relief.
Beside Adil, Elwa seemed to have been ignored by everyone present. Silent, he didn't have the slightest chance to interject.
His face was pale, and his steps were a little unsteady. He stood silently beside Adil, a hint of unwillingness in the depths of his eyes.
Seeing this scene from start to finish, Adil also sighed, but in the end he didn't say anything.
From the moment the Northern Lands fell, Elwa's identity had changed. He was no longer the glorious successor of the Northern Lands. Instead, he was just an ordinary noble. If not for his relationship with Adil, he wouldn't even have the right to stand here and listen.
… …
After settling Elwa down, Adil followed Pulaar and the others to Duke Ariel's kingdom in the south.
Half a month later, in a bustling city, Adil arrived at one of the palaces.
Vara and Sydru stood there in Silence, as if they were waiting for someone.
After a while, a middle-aged man appeared in front of them.
It was a tall man with a dignified expression. He was somewhat muscular, and he wore a blue leather jacket. He walked up to Adil.
"Lord Ariel!" A voice sounded from the side.
When they saw this middle-aged man, Vara and Sydru responded without hesitation, allowing Adil to understand who this person was.
"You're Adil?"
He looked at Adil in front of him, and a kind smile appeared on his dignified face as he looked at him.
In response to this, Adil's face revealed a little nervous and cramped expression. He seemed to be a little nervous as he nodded and said, "Yes."
Seeing this, Ariel's kind smile did not change, and he spoke to Adil in a friendly manner.
After they chatted for a while, Adil's nervousness gradually disappeared, and he seemed much more relaxed.
Only now did he stand up and take out a letter, "This is a letter that Uncle Poria asked me to bring to you."
He handed the letter over as he spoke.
Looking at the letter, Ariel stared blankly for a moment before coming back to his senses. He took the letter from Adil's hands and stood there to read it.
Adil had read this letter before. It mainly contained some detailed information about the north, as well as the reason for its fall. It did not touch on much else.
At the end of the letter, it specifically mentioned Adil and Elwa, asking him to take care of them.
Because he had been seriously injured before his death, the handwriting on the letter was very messy, but it did not hinder him from reading it.
After Ariel quickly finished reading the letter, a trace of sorrow appeared in the depths of his eyes. He concealed it well, and no one noticed.
"I already know what Poria asked me to do."
He looked at Adil, and his expression did not change in the slightest, "I believe that Poria has already told you about the Magi, Adil."
Seeing Adil nod, Ariel continued, "Every year, the fleet of Magi from afar will come to the south to receive apprentices from various Magus families and bring them to the other continents. Looking at the time, there are still two to three months before the Magus fleet arrives. "
"During this period of time, you should rest here with me."

"Erm … I learned from the previous book, and after reading a few chapters … I feel that the writing is not bad, but it doesn't suit my taste.
This author has already finished a book with a million words, and his character is guaranteed. Moreover, I have taken a look at it, and I feel that the writing style is quite good. It's just that the style of the book is more inclined towards 2D, and ordinary readers might not be able to read it.
