"Divine artifact?"
Adil's expression froze. This guess was somewhat unexpected.
"Yes, divine artifact …"
Marr's expression was similarly a little grave. She turned around and looked towards the Wind Nest Tavern that was not far away, and her eyes carried some palpitations, "In that tavern, I felt a strong divine power suppressing me, and also a vast and mighty willpower. It definitely belongs to a god …"
"That will is still in a deep sleep, but just a little bit of majesty leaked out was enough to make the power of destiny that I control unable to move, and I couldn't see anything."
Speaking up to here, her face revealed a somewhat bitter smile, and then she opened her mouth and said, "This tavern is very likely to be set up by a god. If possible, try to contact this tavern as little as possible in the future."
"I understand." Adil's furrowed brows relaxed, and he looked at Marr and nodded, indicating that he understood.
Before leaving, he took one last look at the tavern in the distance, and then left with Marr, walking in the direction they came from.
Time passed bit by bit, and in the silence, half a month quickly passed.
One morning, just as Adil got up and was about to pick up his sword to practice, he received news from the palace.
"Is it from Prince Gruul?"
Looking at the attendant in front of him, Adil's face showed a surprised expression.
"Yes."
In front of him, a young attendant was half-kneeling, looking at Adil with a respectful expression, and said, "This is a letter written by Prince Gruul himself last night. He personally told me to hand this letter to you."
Hearing this, Adil nodded and did not say much. He directly opened the letter wrapped in oiled paper in front of the attendant, and then began to read it.
"The battle in the south has started again. Two days ago, I received news from the southern Karo region that Duke Nesser has already set off and is currently heading north."
"My friend, it is very likely that a large battle will break out in the near future. There may also be some matters in the palace, please be careful …"
"Also, your sister seems to want to see you recently. If you have time in the near future, come to the palace to see her …"
"Your friend, Gruul …"
Looking at the letter, Adil remained silent. After a while, he raised his head, looked at the attendant in front of him, and said casually, "When did Prince Gruul give you the letter, and what was he doing?"
"Time?" Hearing Adil's words, the attendant felt a bit strange, but he still thought about it seriously and said, "It was around midnight, and His Highness was in his study."
"I see …" Adil nodded his head, indicating that he understood. Soon after, he pretended to casually ask some other things.
Only after a long while did he stand up and personally send the attendant away, causing the attendant to feel overwhelmed by the favor.
After sending the attendant out, Adil fell into deep thought as he watched the attendant leave.
"Gruer …"
He muttered in his heart, and a strange feeling of unease emerged in his heart.
"The writing on the envelope has the unique cipher format of the Bakuru family, but after deciphering it with the cipher, I can't decipher any content. Gruul, what do you want to tell me?"
Recalling the contents of the letter, Adil furrowed his brows.
The so-called cipher was a language format specially chosen by the nobles for confidentiality. Often, each noble family had a specific set, and only the core members of their own family could understand it.
The body occupied by Adil was also a noble with a long history, and there was also a set of simple cipher in the family.
As the son-in-law of the Bakuru family, Gruul had relatives of Adil's body next to him, so it was not surprising that he knew this set of cipher.
In the letter sent by Gruul, Adil found traces of this cipher.
But after deciphering it with the cipher, he couldn't decipher the complete content.
This unique situation made Adil frown and feel a little strange.
For a long time, the grasp of timing made Adil a little vigilant, and he faintly felt that there seemed to be some kind of change in his surroundings.
"Who!!"
In the next moment, he suddenly turned around, the long sword at his waist suddenly unsheathed, and the sword directly slashed down.
The silver long sword moved forward, and the huge silver sword energy pressed down, faintly driving the huge elemental particles in the surroundings to press down, making bursts of rumbling in the air, making people's ears ring and eyes dizzy.
Under this sword, the person hiding in a corner could no longer hide, and directly revealed himself.
A little girl suddenly appeared from the corner, wearing a tattered cloth robe with patches on it. Her body looked dirty, and she looked like a little beggar.
She hurriedly ran out of the corner, with anxiety and fear on her face, staring blankly at the sword that Adil slashed down. Her small mouth opened slightly, and she was about to shout.
Ah!!!
A shocking shout rang out from the original spot.
With a plop, the little girl sat directly on the ground, her little face a little sluggish, her face full of fear.
Only after a while did she come back to her senses, and she blankly raised her hand, "I … I didn't die?"
"Not only did you not die, but you are also living well." A voice came from the front.
Looking at the little girl who fell on the ground, Adil kept the long sword and walked forward in Silence. Although his expression was calm, his eyes were a little surprised, "What are you doing here?"
"And you are even dressed like this …"
Only then did the little girl come back to her senses, and lightly let out a breath of relief. Looking at Adil in front of her, she was a little angry, "Is it fun to scare people? Everything was fine, why did you scare me!! "
"I didn't scare you."
Adil calmly shook his head, then stretched out his right hand and pointed far away.
Following the direction that he pointed, the little girl looked into the distance.
At the far away corner, a figure could be seen lying there in Silence.
That figure was wearing a black robe, and it looked like an adult woman. However, her entire body was covered with black hair, and her face was hideous and terrifying, as if she was a corpse that had been dead for a long time, and there was a putrid smell coming from her.
And on the chest of this figure, a sharp sword mark could be clearly seen, almost splitting the figure into two halves.
"Monster …"
Looking at the figure in the distance, the little girl's face immediately became deathly pale, and deep fear and uneasiness could be seen in her eyes.
"From the moment you arrived here, you have been here for a total of 10 minutes. During this period of time, this thing has been following behind you, but because I am here, it did not attack you …"
Adil turned around, looked at the little girl in front of him, and was a little speechless, "Since you are already here, why did you hide there for so long?"
"I was … I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to defeat this monster …"
Hearing Adil's words, the little girl stuttered a little. After that, she seemed to have thought of something, and her face was filled with disappointment. "This monster is very powerful. Even a Silver-tier knight might not be able to defeat it …"
"So, you are worried that I am not able to defeat it, so you want to lure this monster away, and then come to find me?"
Hearing what the little girl said, Adil shook his head, and did not continue on this topic, and said, "Tell me, what is going on?"
"You are a good apprentice priestess, how did you become like this?"
The little girl in front of him was the apprentice priestess that Adil had met a few times before, and her name was Kitty.
When they first met, the little girl's attitude was not good because Adil attacked the Dark Church, but as time passed, as the relationship between Adil and the Dark Church deepened, the impression between both sides also became better.
"It is big sister Sylner who asked me to find you …"
Looking at Adil in front of her, Kitty looked a little disappointed, and her eyes were faintly filled with fear, "Something happened in the church, and everyone can't go out …"
"In order to solve this problem, big sister Sylner asked me to go out secretly, and come to find you …"
As she spoke, she took out something from her bosom, and carefully put it in Adil's hand, "This is the letter that big sister Sylner asked me to give to you. She said that as long as you see it, you will understand."
While speaking, a little scarlet red flashed in her eyes, like a scarlet ruby, with a little bit of strange light.
This strange thing happened almost in a thousandth of a second, and ordinary people, even powerful knights, would not be able to notice it.
"After delivering the letter, I should also think of a way to go back …"
After handing the letter to Adil, Kitty secretly let out a sigh of relief, and then began to drag her feet, and began to run away, it seemed that she was going to the next place to deliver the letter.
Behind her, standing in the same place, Adil looked at the girl leaving in Silence. From the beginning to the end, his expression didn't change much.
A sharp light streaked across in front of her, accompanied by a series of whistling sounds.
In front of her, Kitty stopped, and slowly lowered her head, looking at her chest.
At her chest, a silver long sword had already pierced through her chest, and directly came out from her chest.
Little drops of blood flowed out, but Kitty's face didn't have the slightest expression. She just turned around in Silence, and looked at Adil, "How did you find out?"
"There is something wrong with the aura." Behind her, Adil's voice came.
He walked over expressionlessly, and looked at the thing in front of him that looked like a little girl, "And, I was just trying."
"If I killed the wrong person, I naturally have a way to save you …"
"So cruel …" Kitty opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she couldn't say anything.
Because on the long sword, a little bit of pure life energy was rippling, and the power contained in it completely burst out, directly destroying all the internal organs in her body.
A huge amount of Dou Qi rippled on the spot, and after a while, the appearance of Kitty in front of him suddenly changed.
