Waste.
This was Adil's evaluation of the monsters in front of him, not just for Zim, but for every person or monster present.
The essence of the soul stone was the materialized soul power contained within it. The main purpose of devouring soul power was to absorb the soul power contained within the soul stone to enhance one's own strength.
However, the usage of the soul stone by the monsters in front of him was extremely wasteful.
Of course, by directly devouring a Soul Stone, one could absorb the Soul Power contained within it. However, by doing so, most of the Soul Power contained within the Soul Stone would slowly dissipate. Not much Soul Power could be absorbed through the body. It could be said to be a great waste.
More importantly, these soul stones were actually not pure. They contained all kinds of emotions of the living when they were alive. Directly devouring them without going through a purification process would gradually accumulate a little bit of impurities in the body, directly affecting one's future potential. It could even affect one's own emotions, slowly changing one's personality, becoming crazy and paranoid.
"After absorbing so many soul stones, I'm afraid Zim is now affected by the impurities contained within the soul stone …"
Looking at Zim in the distance, Adil said softly in his heart, then turned around and looked at the woman in front of him.
"Do you want it?" In front of Adil, most of the woman's body was covered under a black dress. Her entire face was also covered with a mask, but the indented sleeves on her body still revealed the woman's voluptuous figure.
When she saw Adil looking at her, she did not say much. Instead, she looked at Adil and said softly.
"A white one."
Standing in the same place, Adil slowly thought for a while, then nodded slowly and took out a white soul stone in front of him.
After following Gruul for such a long time, he did not not get anything. In fact, in order to rope in a Silver-tier knight like him, Gruul rewarded him with a lot of things.
Some of the gold coins that were rewarded had already been used during the day, but there were still a lot of other good things.
Casually taking out some things to exchange, Adil picked up the white soul stone and was about to leave.
"A friendly reminder …" The gentle voice sounded once again.
Seeing that Adil was about to leave, the woman spoke again in a gentle voice, "If you plan to continue your operation in the Tamru Kingdom, try not to reveal your identity and location."
"The person who attacked you just now has a very high status and power in the Kingdom of Tamru. Once his location is exposed, I'm afraid you won't end up well."
She looked at Adil and reminded him for some unknown reason.
"Thanks for the reminder." Adil looked at the woman in surprise and nodded. Then, he stood up with one hand on the wooden table and walked out the door.
Outside the door, the beautiful woman who had welcomed Adil earlier was still standing there. She was wearing a black uniform, and her whole person looked very charming.
When she saw Adil walking out, she did not have much of a reaction. She just said lightly, "On the first day of every month, we will hold a party here at a fixed time. If you are interested, you can come again at that time."
Adil nodded and did not reply. He just walked past her without saying a word, appearing exceptionally quiet.
When he was about to leave the tavern, his body paused. He hesitated for a moment before coming back to his senses. He looked at the woman and said, "You are holding a party here, are you not afraid of being found out by the church?"
"So what if they find out?" The woman raised her head, put down the broom in her hand and asked, "Everyone here, on the surface, is a dignitary of the kingdom …"
After saying this, she continued to pick up the broom and walked to another room to clean.
"They are all dignitaries of the kingdom …"
Standing on the spot and looking at the woman's back, Adil carefully pondered over her words. He then took a step forward and walked out of the tavern.
There seemed to be some kind of unique spell set up in the tavern. After taking a step out, Adil realized that he could no longer see the tavern beside him. Instead, he was transported to another place in Thamu City. He had been forcefully transported here.
It was obvious that this was a random teleportation mechanism, and it was very clever, so much so that Adil did not notice it before.
Of course, this was in consideration of the privacy of the guests, so that they would not be easily tracked or exposed, but it also brought some trouble to Adil.
At the very least, Adil's previous plan of catching up to the vampires and killing them all could not be easily realized now.
"Forget it, it's just a little more troublesome."
Raising his head in Silence, he silently gave Zim a reprieve. Adil put away the black clothes he was wearing and quickly walked back to his residence.
The night passed quickly.
On the second day, an outsider came to visit Adil's residence.
Within the spacious hall, there was a middle-aged man with a respectful expression. He wore a black robe and had long black and white hair. His expression was very calm, as if he was waiting for someone to arrive.
After a while, light footsteps came from outside the hall, and a figure walked in.
Adil was wearing a white robe today. His long hair was a little wet, and it seemed like he had just taken a bath. At the moment, his body was still emitting some heat, and his skin was white and rosy.
He did not bring anything with him, and after seeing the middle-aged man, he asked, "Are you Calon, the chairman of the Thistle Thorn Chamber of Commerce?"
"Yes." Hearing Adil's words, Calon hurriedly stood up with a respectful and humble smile on his face.
As a matter of fact, the fact that he was placed here meant that his identity had already been verified. Adil was just asking casually.
After confirming his identity once more, Adil nodded as he looked at the middle-aged man with long white hair in front of him. He waved his hand, and Wendy, who was beside him, walked forward and placed a small bag on the table.
"This is the 300 gold coins that the Bakulu Family still owes you. You can settle it now." Adil's voice sounded on time.
"I dare not accept your gold coins, Sir." Looking at the gold coins on the wooden table, Calon did not show the slightest intention of accepting them. Instead, the smile on his face became more humble and respectful. "Yesterday, my subordinate didn't understand your identity, Sir. That's why he dared to pester the Bakulu Family. I apologize on his behalf, Sir."
"The 500 gold coins that I received yesterday, I've already passed it to your butler."
After a day and some inquiries, he naturally knew who the young knight in front of him was. That was why he had such a reaction. Not only did he not intend to accept the remaining money, but he also returned the money that he had accepted to Lin Li in its original state.
Adil was a little speechless. Looking at the white-haired middle-aged man in front of him, he was a little surprised.
800 gold coins, that was not a small amount. Even if the person in front of him knew his identity, to reject such a large amount of money like that was very bold.
However, he did not have any special reaction to this. He just looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, pondered for a while, and said casually, "You reject such a large amount of money just like that. What do you want from me?"
He was just asking casually, but he didn't expect that after hearing his words, Kelon in front of him hurriedly said, "We won't accept your gold coins. This is what we should do. As long as you don't mind what happened yesterday, I'll be very satisfied."
"However, speaking of difficult matters, there really is one recently …"
In the blink of an eye, his face revealed a sorrowful expression, and his mouth was full of bitterness. "About half a month ago, on the way to Tham, my child was kidnapped by a group of bandits in the east."
"This guy immediately sent people over to extort money from me, but after I sent the money over, there was no reply at all, so …"
Listening to the other party's narration, Adil's expression did not change, and he only continued to listen to the other party's narration. Listening to the other party's narration, Adil's expression did not change.
"I dare not let Sir do it yourself." At this moment, Calon directly knelt, and his face was full of sorrow and bitterness. "Sir, you are different from us. With your identity, you do not need to do it yourself. You only need to send a local security officer to get my woman back."
"This group of bandits only dares to extort merchants like us, for a knight like Sir, they definitely do not dare to offend the slightest bit."
He said word by word, and in the end, there were even some tears at the corner of his eyes, causing Wendy, who was beside Adil, to feel a little sorry for him, and she could not help but look at Adil.
Adil, on the other hand, did not feel anything.
Right now, Calon looked pitiful after being extorted, but when he sent people to the Bakuru Family to extort money, did he think of anyone else?
After entering the Bakuru Family that day, Adil had already understood some things from the words of his subordinates.
The amount of gold that Zim owed wasn't as much as eight hundred gold coins. It was merely two hundred gold coins, but he'd yelled out eight hundred gold coins in front of Sirius.
This kind of behavior was probably no different from the bandits outside.
Secretly shaking his head, Adil looked at Calon and felt Wendy's gaze beside him. He could not be bothered to educate her about the sinister nature of the human heart, and he directly nodded according to her expectations.
Either way, it was just a matter of shouting.
After staying where he was for a while, seeing that Adil was not very talkative, Calon quickly found an excuse to leave and walked out of Adil's residence.
Not long after he left, the manor's butler hurriedly walked over.
"Sir, that gentleman returned an extra 2000 gold coins in his purse," he reported to Adil in a low voice.
"He really put in a lot of money." Adil shook his head slightly, a little surprised by the other party's boldness, but he did not care much. He just waved his hand, letting the butler in front of him inform the local security officer, and then turned to the backyard.
"Almost recovered to the peak of a Firmament Knight. Those soul stones are good stuff."
Feeling the abundant energy coursing through his body, Adil nodded his head.
Last night, the white soul stone had already been consumed by Adil.
Unlike those demons who used it roughly, as a wizard, Adil's attainments in the soul were much more profound, and his use of soul power was also more superb. Naturally, the amount of energy he could absorb was greater.
However, despite the higher efficiency, Adil could not absorb too many soul stones in a short period of time.
After all, he was not a demon who did not care whether he was contaminated or not. Every time he absorbed a soul stone, it would take a period of time for it to slowly settle down and consume a large amount of negative emotions and other impurities in the soul stone to ensure that his emotions would not be affected by external forces.
"It will probably take about a month to absorb one of the white ones. Although the black ones do not contain as much energy as the white ones, because there are too many negative emotions and soul impurities before death, it will probably take longer."
Roughly thinking about the time it would take to digest a soul stone, Adil made such a judgment.
Since his reincarnation, his strength had recovered very quickly.
After advancing to that level, even if he were to start all over again, his speed would still be extremely terrifying.
Without the support of the power split from his main body, even if he only relied on himself, Adil was confident that he could break through to the Sky Dome within half a year and advance to the Radiant Realm, which was also this world's Gold Knight.
With the help of these soul stones, his speed would be even faster, and he would probably be able to shock some people very soon.
"Gruul entered the palace and stayed for a whole three days. It's about time for him to come out."
Standing in the same place, Adil turned around and looked in a certain direction in the distance, "When he comes out, let's take a look at Tam's Knight Academy."
The resources of Tam's Knight Academy, this was also the condition that Gruul promised when he recruited Adil.
With Adil's current strength, there was naturally no need for him to enter this academy to study. Even if he went, he would only be an instructor.
What he cared about was some precious information contained in this academy, including some of the royal family's treasures. They were all contained there, and there might be something that Adil needed.
"Also, although that Knight Academy is called Knight, there seems to be some inheritance of Wizards in it …"
Thinking about the information about the Knight Academy in his mind, Adil revealed a smile, "Should I try pretending to be a Wizard in this world?"
There were Wizards in this world, this was something that Adil knew from the very beginning.
However, compared to the Sorcerers of the Sorcerers World, the Wizards in this world were relatively weaker. Not only were their bodies not as strong as the Sorcerers, but their method of advancement was also slightly different.
It was fine at the lower levels, but when one reached the higher levels, they basically had to rely on all kinds of methods. Some sects even had to rely on Gods. Compared to the Sorcerers, the Wizards were much more restricted.
However, even so, because of the rarity and strangeness of spells, in this world, Wizards were still a rare and noble profession. To a former Sorcerer like Adil, it was the perfect disguise.
