Time passed by quickly.
Seven to eight days later, Adil opened his eyes beside a small stream and ended his meditation.
"The traps I set up did not react. Seems like I'm safe."
After opening his eyes, Adil looked around and thought calmly.
Before he left the academy, he had imagined all sorts of dangers. One of the possibilities was that some of the Magi in the academy might come from.
As a half-elf, Adil's body structure was different from a normal human's. To some Magi, he was definitely a rare research material.
Even now, Adil still remembered the official Magus called Gramos. If not for the fact that he was in the academy, perhaps Adil would have already been dissected.
Within the academy, due to the restrictions of the higher-ups and the fact that Adil had Magus Edith behind him, the other party could still restrain his actions. However, once he left the boundaries of the academy, with the other party's personality, there was no guarantee that he would make a move on Adil.
According to Adil's understanding, the other party was not in the academy. He had been sent to the northern plains by the academy to guard the entrance to the secret plane with other Magi. He did not have the time to come back.
However, even if he did not make a move himself, with the other party's status as an official Magus, he only needed to give a slight signal and he would be able to send some powerful acolytes.
Because of this possibility, Adil had been rushing at full speed. Apart from letting the horses rest in the middle of the journey, he had spent the rest of his time on the road in a hurry.
However, from the looks of it, it was very likely that the other party did not send anyone. Even if they did, they would not be able to catch up to Adil.
"Thinking about it, it seems normal."
Sitting on the ground and looking at the two resting horses, Adil thought to himself, "Although half-elves have a certain research value, that's all there is to it. In terms of value, it definitely cannot be compared to the items in the ancient secret plane."
"With the other party's personality, after arriving at the secret plane left behind by the ancient Magi, he would not even have the time to research the ancient materials left behind. He might not even have the time to care about me."
Thinking to this point, Adil could not help but chuckle.
Although this was what he was thinking, he still got up and prepared to hurry on with his journey as soon as possible just in case.
Not far ahead was a duchy. Once he reached there, he would have a large number of ordinary people as a disguise. Even if someone was chasing after him, it would be very difficult to find him.
After a while, he mounted his horse and continued on his way.
As time passed, on the second day, some people began to appear in the surroundings.
Adil casually looked around. These people were basically the local aborigines. Their hair was draped over their shoulders, and they held crude bows and spears. It seemed that they usually hunted for a living.
When these people saw Adil, their reactions were different. Some of them saw Adil riding a huge horse with a sword at his waist, and they immediately knelt down, looking very afraid. There were also some natives who excitedly rushed towards Adil, obviously thinking of him as a fat sheep.
Adil didn't even bother to use spells against these native barbarians. He directly raised the bow and arrows on his horse and shot each of them to the ground.
Along the way, he had also thought of communicating with these natives, but their language was extremely unfamiliar to him, and he couldn't communicate with them.
Although he could use the powerful analysis function of the A.I. Chip to quickly analyze it, it would take a few more days, which was not worth it for Adil.
After a few more days, Adil began to see some villages with some natives living in them. However, most of the villages didn't have many people, and many of them only had a few dozen people gathered together.
The language spoken here was an ancient language called Guadir. However, due to the remoteness of the area, there were some changes in the local language. Although it still belonged to the Guadir language, it was more like a hard to pronounce dialect, which Adir was not used to.
With the help of the A.I. Chip, Adil could barely communicate with these natives and obtain some basic information from them.
"Have I already reached the boundaries of the Allen Duchy?"
Walking on the road, Adil muttered to himself as he looked at the village that was slowly getting further away.
According to the information that Adil had bought in the academy, the Allen Duchy was a small country. Although the country was large, its population was very small, and its culture was also relatively backward.
This duchy was also the first duchy that Adil had to pass through. After passing through this duchy, he would be able to reach the Kingdom of Komodo, where his mission was located.
To Adil, it didn't matter where he went, as long as he could get away from the academy and avoid the center of the vortex. Therefore, it didn't matter to Adil whether he stayed in the Allen Duchy or went to the Kingdom of Komodo.
However, the Allen Duchy was not far enough from the academy, and since Adil had accepted the mission, it wouldn't be good if he didn't do anything.
After walking for a few days, Adil arrived at a city in the southern part of the Allen Duchy.
"Outsider, you will have to pay the entrance fee to enter."
In front of the city gate, a few guards wearing tattered leather robes and holding inferior spears stood guard. At this time, when they saw Adil's figure, they were stunned at first, then shouted.
Compared to the other pedestrians, Adil was very conspicuous.
His appearance was different from the locals, and one could tell at a glance that he was an outsider. Moreover, Adil's clothes and the sword at his waist made him more conspicuous.
"Is this enough?"
Looking at the guard in front of him, Adil threw the things in his hand to him and said directly.
"Silver coins."
Borrowing the things that Adil threw, the guard in front of him could not help but be stunned.
Before Adil left the academy, he specially exchanged some mortal currency for the future journey. Although the style might not be the same as that used in this duchy, generally speaking, as long as it was silver and gold coins, there would be no problem using it. At most, it would be more troublesome to calculate.
"You can go in."
Pinching the silver coins in his hand, the guard could not help but swallow his saliva, then looked at Adil and said somewhat unwillingly.
When Adil entered the city, his eyes were fixed on the sword at Adil's waist and the two horses behind him, and his eyes were filled with greed and desire.
Adil saw the look in his eyes, but he did not care.
This kind of thing was very normal, and for Adil, if he really provoked him, it would be nothing more than a matter of a spell.
"Sir, do you need a guide?"
Walking into the city, a voice suddenly sounded in front of him.
Adil looked forward, and there stood a 12 or 13-year-old boy, looking at Adil nervously. "Sir, I am very familiar with this city. For the price of one copper coin, I can take you anywhere here."
Looking at the boy, Adil's expression was calm. "I want to find a place where I can stay and have a good lunch."
"Then I recommend you to go to the Green family's inn. Although it is relatively small, it is very comfortable, and there are good lamb chops and fruit wine."
Hearing Adil's words, the boy's expression immediately lit up, and he hurriedly said to Adil.
"Lead the way."
Adil nodded and raised his right hand, gesturing for the boy to lead the way.
Soon, with the boy leading the way, Adil quickly walked to a corner of the city.
When they walked here, a sharp argument gradually sounded out in front of them.
Following the sound, Adil looked into the distance.
Seven or eight meters away, there was a small inn that looked quite old, and there was a sign that said 'Green family's inn.'
At this moment, a series of arguments continuously sounded out in the inn, and Adil, who was seven or eight meters away, could clearly hear it.
Bang!!
Not long after, the inn's door was kicked open and a figure was thrown out. The figure fell heavily on the ground, making a loud sound.
It was a middle-aged man who looked very ordinary. At this moment, he fell on the ground, his body stained with blood and there were many bruises on his body. It seemed that he had just been beaten up.
"Dad Green!!"
Looking at the middle-aged man on the ground, the boy beside Adil let out a cry of surprise and quickly ran forward. It seemed that he knew the middle-aged man before him.
"Green, I should have said it before, you must pay me this month's money, otherwise you will bear the consequences yourself!" A rough voice came from inside the inn.
Under Adil's gaze, a tall man with several scars on his face walked out from inside and looked at Green who was lying on the ground with a ferocious expression.
"You robbers!! We clearly paid you back, why are you doing this?! "
A series of frantic shouts came from inside.
Inside the inn, two men walked out. One of them was holding a blonde girl in his hand, and the other was holding a middle-aged woman in his hand.
At this moment, looking at the knife-scarred man in front of her, the blonde girl resisted frantically. However, she was held tightly by the knife-scarred man and was unable to struggle free.
"In short, Green …"
Looking at the middle-aged man who was lying on the ground, the knife-scarred man laughed and walked forward. It was unknown when he took out a small knife.
He stepped onto the middle-aged man's chest, lowered his head and said, "How is it? Do you want to pay me back or not? "
"As long as you give me 20 gold coins, we will consider this matter over. If not …"
Speaking till here, he paused for a moment and directly grabbed onto the boy at the side. With his strong arm, he strangled the boy's neck, "It is hard to say what will happen to your son and your daughter."
Looking at this scene, Adil who was at the side lightly shook his head.
He did not have the mood to meddle in other people's business. Looking at this scene, he immediately led the horse and prepared to find another inn.
"Hey!! Brat over there, what are you trying to do? "
At the side, the knife-scarred man looked at Adil who turned around and revealed a sinister smile, "You want to leave after watching a good show for free?"
