"Even though it's just a small difference, the result is a huge difference."
In a manor, Adil shook his head and thought to himself as he sensed the process of the spell being released in Silence.
He was a rank 5 Magus, and even though he had only just come into contact with the system of wizards in this world and had yet to complete his training, it was enough to show the shortcomings of wizards in this world.
Lacking magic power was equivalent to cutting apart the strength of a Magus' body, causing the originally complete body to be flawed.
Without the nourishment of magic power, the physical strength of the mages in this world would inevitably fall behind that of the Magi. Not to mention knights of the same rank, even knights of a lower rank might be stronger than mages in terms of strength.
Perhaps this was why wizards in this world mostly appeared as scholars, and rarely picked up swords to fight.
Furthermore, without the nourishment of the body and the ability to consciously increase their magic power, the magic power in the bodies of wizards in this world was too thin. They had no choice but to rely on external help to cast spells.
Because of this, in this world, when some low-level mages cast spells, other than some mages who had extremely strong mental strength and could forcefully draw in external elemental energy, most other mages would either need to prepare a long incantation or prepare a lot of spellcasting materials to make up for their lack of magical power.
"This is equivalent to the primitive Magi."
Standing where he was, Adil thought to himself as he recalled the information he knew about wizards.
The current situation of wizards in this world made Adil think of the development of Magi.
A long time ago, when the Magus system had just been created, it had been the same as the wizards in this world, with great shortcomings.
It was only until the glorious ancient times, when powerful ancient Magi stepped out of the Magus World and plundered the resources and knowledge of other worlds that the Magus system slowly developed and was gradually perfected.
In the current Sorcerer World, Sorcerers in the truest sense only appeared at that time.
Compared to the Magus World, the wizards in the World of Gods obviously did not have such luck.
Even though the World of Gods was powerful, it was an extremely xenophobic world.
This was something that had been clearly shown when Adil had first entered the World of Gods.
Because of the extreme isolation, it was extremely difficult for outsiders to enter this world, but similarly, it was equally difficult for the people of this world to step out.
This was the difference in the world itself, which essentially locked down the path of development for mages in this world.
On top of that, there were also the high and mighty gods in this world.
Silently putting away the scroll in his hand, Adil slowly turned around and walked to the other side.
At night, the people in Thamu City started to thin out. Lights started to light up everywhere.
Adil lowered his head as he walked through a rather lively alley.
At this moment, his appearance had been meticulously modified. Even though only the details had changed, he looked completely different from before.
In fact, for a Magus, changing one's appearance was not as difficult as one might imagine. It was just a matter of a spell.
However, in this world, the priests of the gods were widely active in various places, and using magic was not as reliable as using the makeup techniques of mortals.
In any case, his request wasn't too high, so he simply asked someone to decorate his appearance and walked out of the manor straightforwardly.
Perhaps because it was close to midnight, there were not many people in the alley. There were only a few shops that were still open, and it looked a little desolate.
Silence walked alone, and Adil seemed a little special.
However, he quickly found his destination, and arrived at a place.
It looked extremely shabby, and it was an ordinary tavern.
Standing outside the tavern, Silence raised his head and looked at the tavern in front of him. Adil was first attracted by the name of the tavern.
Hell's Wine.
"Interesting."
Casually smiling, Adil looked at the shabby tavern in front of him and walked straight in.
He jumped over a flight of steps that were a few meters long, and the interior of the tavern slowly became visible.
There were a few shabby wooden tables, some strange metal racks with pieces of roasted meat hanging on them, and a long wooden table with rows of wine on it.
These were all the things in the tavern.
Silence stood at the entrance of the tavern, and Adil looked around.
It was already late at night, and there were very few people outside. However, the tavern was still quite lively, and a few wooden tables were already filled with people.
There were a few people that caught Adil's attention the moment he entered.
There was a tall and sturdy man with a long beard sitting alone at a wooden table. There were also a few people wearing black robes sitting at a wooden table without saying a word. They were just silently drinking wine and eating meat.
Silence looked at these few people, and after observing them for a while, Adil walked towards the wooden table where the tall and sturdy man with a long beard was sitting.
"Excuse me …"
A light voice sounded in the surroundings. Although it was light, it accurately reached the ears of the tall and sturdy man in front of him, "Can I sit here?"
The tall and sturdy man was stunned for a moment, and then he raised his head. His eyes slightly squinted, and he stared at Adil.
His eyes were very special. His eyes were green, and they looked like the eyes of a wolf. When he stared at someone, he looked especially fierce, and it made people panic.
Adil calmly enjoyed the stare. He just stood there in Silence, and looked at the tall and sturdy man. There was no emotion in his eyes, only bottomless depth and calmness.
"What do you want?"
After a long time, the tall and sturdy man in front of him broke the silence, and looked at Adil with a frown.
After dressing up meticulously, Adil now looked like a gentle middle-aged man, but the warrior's temperament that had been through many battles still made some people instinctively vigilant.
"Lone Wolf Ekman, I heard that you are the best Stealth in the entire Tam City, and also the most well-informed person in this area."
Looking at the tall and sturdy man in front of him, Adil did not beat around the bush, and directly said, "I have something to ask you …"
"Who recommended you to come here?"
Ekman put down the roasted meat in his hand, and straightened his back. His right hand seemed to casually move to the right, and he secretly moved closer to the weapon under the wooden table.
As an experienced Stealth, he was very vigilant. If his position was exposed, he would immediately pull out his sword and leave the place as soon as something went wrong.
"Philip recommended me to come here. He said that you can tell me what I want to know."
Adil spoke softly, and said a name without changing his expression.
He was not lying. He had come to this place because Philip had recommended him to do so. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to find this place on his own, and he had only been in Tam City for less than three months.
"Very good, you did not lie."
Hearing Adil's words, Ekman let out a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his originally tense face. "So, what do you want to know?"
"You have the ability to sense if someone is lying?"
Adil frowned, and looked at the tall and sturdy man in front of him. He then said, "How much do you know about Zim's death?"
"Zim, the original heir of the Bakuru family?"
Ekman asked subconsciously, and then looked at Adil in front of him, as if he suddenly realized something.
However, even though he realized something, he did not say anything. He only lowered his head and hesitated for a moment, as if he was thinking, and also seemed to be hesitating.
"This matter is a little complicated, and I am not very clear about some of the specific circumstances."
He said frankly, and then continued to speak, and slowly told him what he knew.
"Zim Bakuru, on the surface, this person is just a wandering noble from the southern Kharo area, but in reality, he is a vampire who has just completed his transformation."
"The cause of his death is related to his vampire bloodline, which is related to the person who gave him the bloodline …"
"Who?" Adil frowned, and continued to ask.
"Bloody Knight, Clete." Ekman stretched out his hand, and drank the wine in the glass in front of him. He then sighed, and said, "This is a very scary and mysterious person. I do not know much about him, so I cannot give you more help."
"That is enough." Adil nodded, and then stood up from in front of Ekman, and said, "I know your rules. A thousand gold coins have already been prepared, and someone will send it over soon …"
"Change your condition."
After taking a deep look at Adil, Eckart put down his wine glass and said absentmindedly, "I don't lack money recently. In fact, if you weren't recommended by Philip, I wouldn't have told you any information."
"What do you want?" Adil asked.
Coming here, he had already asked all the questions he wanted to know. At this point, even if he left directly, it would not be a big deal.
But if he did so, it would be too unsightly, and it would easily offend people.
Also, as a Wizard of Order, if it was within his power, Adil preferred to follow the rules.
In front of him, under Adil's gaze, Ekman was silent for a while, and then slowly said his condition.
"I do not lack money these days, but there is some trouble … So, I hope you can help me once. In addition to the information this time, I will give you another two thousand gold coins."
"Don't worry, it won't be too difficult for you. There won't be any problems for you."
Adil's figure, who was about to turn and leave, paused slightly. After a while, the voice continued.
"Only once."
