Sitting in front of the bed, Adil looked at the five magic crystals, which shone with a deep luster.
He took away the pouch that contained the five magic crystals and set it on fire, burning it at the side.
This was for safety's sake.
The difference between an official Magus and a level 1 acolyte was too great, and the latter might have some tricks up his sleeves that Adil would not be able to detect. Hence, he had to be careful when dealing with things related to the other party.
It was not just this pouch. Adil was prepared to exchange the five mid-grade magic crystals that he had obtained from the other party, in order to avoid any potential risks.
"Just nice, because I was short on magic crystals, I didn't have the time to prepare these things. This time, I can purchase them all at once."
Adil thought to himself as he weighed the Magic Stone in his hand and felt its unique texture.
He first meditated and rested in the dormitory for a while before leaving the dormitory district and heading towards the underground market.
Walking into the familiar underground market, the number of acolytes increased. Although it was still sparse, at least there was some liveliness.
There were many familiar stalls around him, and there were many things on display. It gave Adil the feeling that he had returned to the market in his previous world.
However, compared to the normal peddlers, these acolytes treated their customers much more crudely. All of them had stern expressions, and some acolytes would not even take the initiative to greet them.
Adil looked around and walked to a stall, "How much are these things?"
"What do you want?" An echo came from the front.
"Some experimental materials for the Rotten Nest." Adil's expression did not change as he replied.
Hearing these words, the acolyte in front of him, who had his head lowered, raised his head and looked at Adil. "I have Rotting Ants here. I just caught them not too long ago, and they're still alive. They're perfect for researching the Rotten Nest."
As he spoke, he took out a container that was covered with a black cloth and removed the black cloth in front of Adil.
In the transparent container that was about half a metre tall, there was a large piece of meat. It had a greenish glow and looked a little rotten. On the surface of the rotting flesh, terrifying dark green giant ants were constantly drilling holes in the rotting flesh, giving off an extremely terrifying feeling.
"Strictly speaking, these little fellows are also a type of high-energy lifeform. They usually like to live in the rotting flesh of large high-energy lifeforms. Not only are they rare, but they are also extremely dangerous to capture."
The apprentice in front explained to Adil, then said, "One magic crystal for ten, do you want it?"
"Give me twenty."
Adil nodded, then pointed to a brown pouch at the side, "Add another Magic Stone and give me this thing as well. How about that?"
"You have a good eye."
Hearing these words, the acolyte in front of him was a little surprised. "This is the venom sac of a Komo Man-eating Lizard. Most acolytes don't know about this stuff, and yet you do."
"One more Magic Stone." He pondered for a moment, then made a bid.
"Add five Rotting Ants." Adil frowned.
"Alright, deal." The acolyte thought for a moment, then finally agreed.
After the deal was made, Adil handed the magic crystal to the other party and placed the items in the storage area. He was going to get someone to move them to his residence later.
Taking advantage of the magic crystals he had, Adil bought a few more things, which were basically experimental materials.
Learning a Magus was not just about attending classes. There were many subjects that required acolytes to personally experiment and observe data to gain a thorough understanding.
As Adil had been short on magic crystals, he had rarely done such experiments. Now that he had some magic crystals on hand, he naturally wanted to buy some materials to use in this area.
After strolling around the underground market, Adil then made a trip to the library and borrowed a few books that recorded precious knowledge in one go for the purpose of learning.
Just like that, he used up a small portion of the 50 magic crystals he had, and the rest was carefully exchanged by Adil for low-grade magic crystals.
The next day.
In the afternoon, when the sun hung high in the sky, Adil's figure appeared on the main road outside the academy.
After walking for more than an hour, the familiar wooden hut appeared in front of him. Compared to a few days ago, there did not seem to be any changes.
However, compared to a few days ago, Adil clearly felt that there was a large, high-energy creature in the surroundings, leaving behind some aura.
The creature seemed to be very cunning. It had obviously appeared in the surroundings, but did not leave any obvious traces. If not for the A.I. Chip in Adil's mind capturing the creature's aura, Adil would not have known that it had arrived.
At this thought, Adil's eyes turned cold.
He did not make a sound, and according to his usual routine, patrolled the area that he was in charge of.
After doing this, Adil raised his head and looked at the sky.
At this moment, after a few hours, the sky had gradually darkened. Under the blue dome of the heavens, the remnants of the setting sun still remained, and the sky was now slightly dusky.
At this time, if he chose to return to the academy, he would probably have to travel at night.
Looking at the sky, Adil furrowed his eyebrows. After standing on the spot and thinking for a while, he finally walked into the wooden hut, preparing to spend the night here and rest.
A few hours passed in the blink of an eye.
In the middle of the night, a low roar sounded in the surroundings, but it was inconspicuous in the midst of the chirping of insects.
After all, this was the outskirts of the academy, and was considered the wilderness. It was normal for there to be some wild beasts.
Moreover, these ordinary wild beasts would not affect the wooden hut much.
Though the wooden hut looked very shabby and was made entirely of wood, it was still built by a Magus. When it was built, a Magus had set up a few low-grade spell formations that could automatically disperse some wild beasts and insects, preventing them from harassing the hut.
However, tonight, the situation seemed a little strange.
Next to Adil's ears, a low roar sounded from time to time, coming from the front continuously. It seemed to be a little unusual.
Listening to this sound, and through the reaction of his spiritual force during meditation, Adil vaguely sensed that there seemed to be a powerful life form lying in ambush outside the wooden hut in Silence, watching this wooden hut.
Sensing this, he opened his eyes in Silence and took the initiative to end his state of meditation.
He pulled out the longsword at his waist and took the initiative to walk forward, opening the door to the wooden hut. His gaze followed his senses and looked into the distance.
