Standing on the street, feeling the wind and snow outside, Adil looked out.
Among the streets and alleys, there were few people on the worn out streets. Very few of them appeared outside.
This was normal. In such cold weather, unless they had no other choice, no one would want to go out in the cold and get frozen for nothing.
However, aside from the weather, the reason for the current situation was also related to the ongoing war.
The war between the Kingdom of Senai and the Kingdom of Tamlu was still ongoing.
This was the information that Adil had gathered from various places over the past few days.
After conquering the southern stronghold and occupying several provinces of the Kingdom of Tamlu, the army of the Kingdom of Senai was now facing off against the army of the Kingdom of Tamlu at the border. Although the two kingdoms did not continue to fight, small-scale battles were still going on, causing the atmosphere nearby to be extremely tense.
The city that Adil was currently in belonged to the Kingdom of Veruba, and bordered both the Kingdom of Senai and the Kingdom of Tamlu. During this period of time, it had also been affected by the war outside, and the number of merchants coming and going had greatly decreased.
In the past, there would still be many foreign merchants in this city even during the cold winter, but now, there were almost none.
Standing there in Silence, Adil seemed to have sensed something, and he looked behind him.
Not far from the city gate, a group of people was slowly walking in.
It was a group of people wearing tattered clothes. There were about seven or eight of them, and they walked forward with difficulty in the cold without saying a word.
From afar, Adil could already smell the faint smell of blood on these people, as well as the traces of battle left on them.
"A group of soldiers in disguise?"
Looking at the people walking over, Adil turned around and hid in a corner with Wendy.
During this period of time, Adil had seen many soldiers like this. They were basically defeated soldiers of the Kingdom of Tamlu in disguise, and there were often a few nobles among them.
Adil turned around, not wanting to be seen by these people. After all, the size of the previous owner of this body was also considered a noble. In the vicinity, there might be people familiar with him who would recognize him.
Although it wasn't a big deal to be recognized, Adil instinctively felt that it was better to have less trouble.
As Adil dodged, the group of people walked right past Adil without seeing Adil's face.
However, when they walked past Adil, one of the people in the group raised his head and looked at Adil's back. There seemed to be some doubt on his face, as if he felt that Adil was somewhat familiar.
However, in the end, he still did not completely recognize Adil. Surrounded by the people around him, he slowly rushed towards his destination.
Under the watchful eyes of Adil, the group of people slowly walked to the front of a huge building and then disappeared.
"That person just now, he seems a little familiar …"
After that group of people walked far away, Adil walked out from the corner and looked at the back of that group of people with some doubt in his eyes.
Just now, in the middle of that group of people, a young man who seemed to be the leader, glanced at him. He naturally noticed this detail.
He also felt a sense of familiarity from that man, but his appearance was very unfamiliar. He had never seen this person in the memory of this body.
"Did he disguise his appearance?"
Looking into the distance, he muttered to himself.
Although there were no human skin masks in this world, there were many things that had the same effect.
Whether it was the magic of mages or the divine arts of priests, they could all achieve the same effect.
Looking at the gradually disappearing figure, Adil looked at the building that the other party was walking towards.
There was a tall church there. On the periphery of the church, there was a dark and complicated symbol decorating it. It looked simple and gorgeous, leaving a deep impression.
"The church of the God of Darkness …"
Adil raised his head and looked at the gorgeous yet dim emblem. Such a thought flashed through his mind.
The God of Darkness was the god of the priests of the nearby kingdoms. It was in charge of the boundary between dusk and darkness. It was the only god in the Kingdom of Tamru, and it was also passed down in the Kingdom of Veruba.
Standing in the same place and looking at the church, Adil hesitated for a moment. After confirming the place, he brought Wendy who was beside him and walked towards a street.
In front of him, in the church, the young man who looked at Adil was standing in Silence. His eyes were focused in the direction of the door, as if he was waiting for someone to follow him.
After waiting for a long time, he raised his eyebrows and realized that the other party did not follow him.
"Maybe it's just an illusion."
He shook his head. Seeing that no one came forward, he gave up on the idea and slowly walked forward.
In the church in front of him, there was an old man wearing a black robe. His face was painted with complex black lines, and his hair was white and his skin was dry. He was wearing a dark robe.
"Welcome, Prince Rugel."
Seeing the few people walking towards him, the old man's gaze gradually focused on the young man in the center. A smile slowly appeared on his old and amiable face. He seemed very happy. "It's nice to see you again."
"It's nice to see you too." Seeing the old man, the young man also smiled. He looked like he let out a deep breath. "Friar Irula, being able to see you here is the best news I've heard in the past few months."
"You flatter me." Irula shook his head. Looking at Rugel, his expression gradually became serious. "Your Highness, please come with me. The search in the city is very tight. I'll take you to a more secluded place."
"Thank you." Rugel nodded. He did not refuse Irula's good intentions, and directly responded with a smile. Evidently, he was very clear about his current situation.
The frontline army had been defeated, and now, the spies of the Kingdom of Senai were all looking for him in the southern region. They wanted to capture him and present him to King Senai.
Although the Kingdom of Veruba had remained neutral in this battle, after the defeat of the Kingdom of Tamru, they were now leaning towards the Kingdom of Senai, and were searching for him with great effort.
If he hadn't brought a lot of alchemy items with him when he was escaping, it would have been very difficult for him to escape.
"Oh right, where are the others?"
As if thinking of something, Gruer continued to ask. He was very concerned about this issue.
"I haven't seen anyone else yet. Your Highness, you are the first batch to arrive here."
Irula said, "My mission is only to send you back safely, Your Highness. If I send too many people at once, I'm afraid it will increase the chances of Your Highness being exposed."
"That's right …" A bitter smile appeared on Gruul's face. He seemed to have thought of something and gradually fell into silence.
