After walking out of the shabby tent, Adil raised his head and looked around.
It was currently late at night, and the residents in the surrounding wooden houses were all asleep. Only a small portion of them were awake.
Because of the scare from the Ghoul, the entire village's scavengers had not completely calmed down. As such, they all gathered together at the center of the village.
After walking out of the tent, Adil did not go anywhere else. Instead, he directly followed the Ghoul's aura and walked towards a certain corner.
It was a very remote corner, and there was a big shabby tent inside. It looked like it had been in disrepair for a long time, and no one had lived in it for a long time.
Following the aura, Adil walked into it. Then, with a light flick of his finger, a pit appeared on the ground before him, revealing a gray curtain.
When the curtain was pulled back, the things stored inside were immediately revealed. There was a carefully folded blueprint made of yellow paper, a few weapons that were still in good condition, and some scattered coins.
Looking at the things inside, Adil was the first to open the blueprint.
It was a very rough map, but it had a relatively detailed description of the surrounding terrain. Even though many places were rough, it was still relatively detailed.
Looking at the map, Adil was stunned. He felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. It originated from the memories of this body.
This map recorded the topography of the southern region of Tamlu. On this map, there were even some nearby fortresses, as well as some garrisons of soldiers.
The content was so detailed and the topography was so detailed that even Adil felt that something was off. He instinctively felt that something was off.
Looking at the map in front of him, Adil's expression was calm, but his thoughts were running wild, unknowingly drifting into the distance.
A Ghoul that liked to record the terrain and even wandered around various important military places?
If this kind of thing were to be spread, it would probably cause a lot of people to be shocked.
On the map, Adil also saw a letter. The handwriting on the letter was very good, and one could tell that it had a rich foundation.
There were not many words on it, but the content was very rich.
"Duke Assyr has given the order. Schenker, immediately go to the southern fortress to investigate. Find out the terrain and military stations nearby as soon as possible, and prepare for the duke's attack. Also, search for …"
That was the end of the handwriting.
It could be seen that there was more content in the letter, but the second half had been torn off, causing the content to be fragmented, and not all of it could be seen.
But just this part of the content was enough to make Adil feel something.
"Duke Assyr … This is the king of the Kingdom of Senai …"
Looking at the letter in his hand, Adil had a strange expression on his face. "He actually sent a Ghoul to scout for information. This Duke Assyr is really powerful …"
"However, this also explains why he was more familiar with the local terrain than the original owner of this body in the previous battle, even though he came from afar. He even misled Yasuo's army a few times, causing Yasuo's army to suffer losses."
In the previous battle, the army of the Kingdom of Tamru had suffered a crushing defeat.
Apart from the weak situation in the country and the lack of combat power in the army, it was the same for information.
During the battle, the army of the Kingdom of Senai had come from afar, and had never set foot on the land of the Kingdom of Tamru before. However, they showed great familiarity with the local terrain, and did not seem tired at all.
Even if there were local guides in the army, it should not have been so terrifying.
But if the leader of the enemy had sent ghouls into the territory of Tamru before the battle, and kept gathering intelligence in the vicinity, then this situation would make sense.
There was a huge difference between a mortal tour guide and an existence like a ghoul.
As a Ghoul, putting aside its powerful strength, just its powerful camouflage ability was enough to trick many people.
Take this scavenger village for example. If not for the fact that Adil had keenly sensed the presence of this Ghoul's aura, this Ghoul would have continued to lurk, and it would not have taken long for it to kill everyone in the village.
If this terrifying camouflage ability was used on the battlefield, be it to gather intelligence or directly replace the knights and troops in the enemy's camp, it would be an extremely terrifying thing.
If Assyr could really control these Ghouls, even the previous battle results would make sense.
"It's a pity that this method can only be used once. If I'm discovered next time, it won't work anymore."
Silence stood where he was, thinking about the fierce attack of the Kingdom of Senai. While admiring it, Adil shook his head.
Although this method was very effective, very few people would actually use it.
On one hand, the reason why Ghouls were Ghouls was because their existence itself was a kind of terror.
For example, Ghouls had the habit of tearing people apart while they were still alive, and then gnawing on all the organs and flesh.
This terrifying habit meant that no matter where they were, they would definitely be hated by everyone, and they would be widely viewed with hostility and fear.
On top of that, existences like Ghouls, although they had weak intelligence and could communicate, were often wild and irrational. If they were not careful, they would immediately turn on them and devour their people.
In the history of this world, there had been many countries that had kept Ghouls in captivity, and some even worshipped them as gods.
However, in the end, all of these countries were devoured by these strange creatures that were kept in captivity. There were even cases where the king himself was eaten by the ghouls, and it was a terrifying sight to behold.
The second reason was that there were churches.
This world was a world with gods.
In the memories of the previous owner of Adil's body, this world was filled with churches of various sizes, each with their own gods and priests.
This was different from the other worlds that Adil had been to in the past. In the World of Gods, worship was the mainstream.
In the mortal world, churches of various sizes rose and fell, striving to be the first to fight for believers. Some even went as far as to wage Holy Wars.
Meanwhile, within the various countries, there were many priests who solemnly guarded a region. While they spread their faith, they also protected the peace of that region, stabilizing the regions.
However, in this world, more than 90% of the churches that could spread their influence were extremely hostile towards Ghouls. In fact, killing these Ghouls with one's own hands would allow one to receive more blessings from the gods.
Hence, even though Ghouls were extremely terrifying creatures among the commoners, they were suppressed throughout the entire continent, and were not much of a threat at all.
The Senai Duchy used Ghouls to fight for them once or twice, but if it was discovered by the Duchy of Tamru, it would definitely be reported to the nearby churches, and the priests would intervene.
"However, even if I can only use it once or twice, it's enough to establish an early advantage."
Standing on the spot, Adil thought about the defeat of the Tamlu Kingdom's army, as well as the chaos within the kingdom. He shook his head gently. "Moreover, with the conduct of the nobles, I'm afraid that they have yet to react."
Adil did not care about the crushing defeat of the Tamru army.
Memories of the past were the past, after all. Besides, he wasn't the original Yasuo. He was merely an unfamiliar visitor from another world.
Compared to the crushing defeat of the Kingdom of Tamru on the battlefield, Adil was more concerned about the other part of the contents of the letter.
"Searching … What is it looking for?"
Silence stood where he was, thinking carefully for a while. Adil shook his head and gave up on thinking about this matter. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at the other things around him.
The things before him were obviously the private collection of the ghoul from before. Apart from the map and the letter, there was nothing else.
There were a few weapons that looked very sharp. Each of them was forged with good materials, and if they were put outside, they would at least be weapons that apprentice knights were qualified to wear.
Looking at these weapons, Adil picked out a light grey longsword that looked very sharp. Then, he casually put away the other things and looked at the last pile of coins.
There were a lot of coins buried in front of him, and the format was also very complicated. There were several countries' currencies put together, and it seemed like there was a lot of them.
"Close to a hundred and twenty gold coins."
After roughly calculating the value of the coins buried here, Adil was a little surprised. He was not surprised that the ghoul would actually collect human coins, but surprised by the amount in front of him.
Of course, ghouls also needed money.
Although they liked to eat humans, ghouls were not barbaric creatures. Instead, they had a certain level of intelligence.
With intelligence, they would naturally need some things from the human kingdom.
For example, all kinds of delicious food and wine, all kinds of exquisite weapons, and cheap but precious slaves with intact internal organs.
Just like how humans had all kinds of ways to live, so did ghouls.
The ghoul that Adil killed could only be considered average among ghouls.
Ghouls who were truly doing well didn't need to take such huge risks to hunt for food. On the contrary, they were great nobles of some kingdoms. Not only were they wealthy, they also owned large tracts of land and raised large numbers of slaves.
The real ghouls did not need to take such a huge risk to hunt for food. Instead, they were big nobles of the kingdom. Not only were they rich, but they also owned a lot of land and raised a lot of slaves.
At this stage, if they wanted to eat a human, they did not need to take the risk to go out. They could just buy a few slaves.
Even the church and the priests could not do anything if they did not want to have a conflict with the kingdom and cause serious consequences. Even if they saw the ghouls enter the church to pray, they still did not dare to do anything.
The ghoul that was killed by Adil probably wanted to develop in this direction as well. That was why it had accumulated so much wealth and was preparing to buy a title and land in some kingdom so that it could "legally" eat humans.
But now, all these things belonged to Adil, which saved Adil a lot of effort.
After waking up on the battlefield, Adil was now completely destitute. The armor and sword he had worn on the battlefield had long been taken away by someone else. Other than a few pieces of clothing covering his body, he had nothing else on him. When he fought against this ghoul, he had to rely on himself to grind stone spears nearby, using the most primitive method to make weapons.
But with the inheritance left behind by the ghoul, Adil could become a small landlord. He could do some of the things that he needed to do immediately.
Thinking about this, he stood up and put away all the coins in front of him. He looked into the distance and walked out step by step.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
After that night, with the corpse of the giant ghoul as a witness and the narration of the little girl, Adil's deeds quickly spread throughout the small village, stirring up a huge wave in the village.
There was no doubt that he was a real noble knight. He was strong and could kill a terrifying ghoul with just a stone spear even though he was seriously injured.
In particular, the girl Wendy said that Adil promised to bring her away, which made the surrounding residents jealous and regretful.
Following such a powerful knight, the girl's life in the future was bound to change. Not only would she be able to leave her lowly identity as a scavenger, she might even be able to move into a beautiful manor and enjoy life there.
Some of the scavengers who found Adil with Wendy and even personally carried Adil out were even more regretful. They regretted not giving up a few bowls of meat soup and missed this opportunity.
However, although many people were envious and jealous, this remote small village was unexpectedly united. Some of the residents might be jealous, but no one did anything bad.
Soon, three days passed.
Three days later, in the early morning, under the astonished gazes of many scavengers, a huge carriage slowly entered the village from the outside. Through the winding path, it slowly drove into the narrow village.
The horse carriage looked huge and was entirely black. Thick white cloth blocked the view inside, making it difficult for people to see what was inside.
In front of the horse carriage, there was a big, bright white horse pulling the horse in Silence. A middle-aged coachman with rough skin sat on the horse.
Overall, the horse carriage was nothing. In fact, it looked very simple in Adil's eyes.
However, to the poor scavengers, the horse carriage was indescribably luxurious and honorable.
Accompanied by a sound, the person sitting inside walked out softly.
