Wizard Immortal

Chapter 12 The Limits of Life

"It's actually Lord Fular who's here... This really is..."

Looking at the imposing middle-aged knight in the distance, a strange expression appeared on Dill's face.

Beside him, Adir wore the same expression: "Indeed, this time..."

He looked at the middle-aged knight in the distance with a cold face, and his own expression was equally strange.

That knight was familiar to Adir; he was the guard officer of Count Poria's castle, commanding the castle's most elite guards and responsible for protecting the castle. So even though the war on the front lines had become so intense, this knight had never been transferred.

Moreover, even among the many knights under Count Poria, this one was among the top. It is said that in the early years of the war with the Kingdom of Bode, he personally killed three powerful enemy knights and made great contributions. This is why he was valued by Count Poria and entrusted with the protection of his castle.

However, if Adir remembered correctly, this only son of the knight Fular seemed to be the knight apprentice who led the expedition a while ago. In the end, even his body was never found; it was probably eaten by wild beasts by the roadside.

The only child's body was nowhere to be found, so it's no wonder the knight had a cold face and even left the castle he had been guarding to personally lead his men here.

"Now, things are going to get lively around here." Adir sighed to himself.

During this period, the border region was already in chaos, with various bandit groups and savage tribes constantly emerging, and even faint traces of orcs.

In such a chaotic situation, another top-tier knight has arrived. It's really hard to say how the final outcome will be.

Thinking of this, Adir shook his head, looked at the knight's figure gradually moving away, and followed Dill into the camp.

Regardless, the power that a knight brings is obvious.

After the arrival of the knight Fular, the camp, which had been somewhat panicked, immediately calmed down.

This is the result of the knight's power and prestige.

In this dangerous world, no one can live in peace without power. The power of a knight is enough to easily suppress a territory and maintain stability in a region; he is a symbol of power in the hearts of the people.

Especially in such a dangerous situation, the arrival of a powerful knight is enough to stabilize the already fluctuating hearts of the people and dispel the pervasive panic.

After arriving, Knight Fular first summoned the person in charge of the camp and asked him to give a detailed report on the events that had occurred in the area recently, in order to analyze the current situation. Only then did he assign his men to be stationed in the southern part of the camp.

After doing all this, with a cold face, he walked to the corpse placed in the center of the camp, accompanied by several people, seemingly preparing to examine it.

The weather around them had been scorching hot lately, with the sun constantly blazing. These corpses, having died and been placed here for over ten days, had begun to rot and stink. Already torn to pieces by wild animals, the decaying bodies were now even more gruesome, causing Adir, who had accompanied them to observe, to frown.

Fular didn't react much. With a cold face, he looked at the gruesome corpses that were beginning to rot, and even touched the wounds himself, showing no disgust whatsoever.

The rotting corpse was so bad that little could be seen. Even the large wounds on the body were unrecognizable after being eaten and decomposed by wild animals.

Fular and a few others looked around for a while, but in the end they couldn't figure out anything, so they left with a cold face.

"The chip displays the other person's physical data."

After the knight left, Adir walked to the side and spoke to the chip in his mind.

"Name: Fular. Strength: 4.7. Agility: 4.4. Constitution: 4.5."

"Ding! This creature is extremely dangerous. In the event of conflict, the survival rate is less than 8.7%. We recommend staying away!"

The data transmitted from the chip made Adir gasp and shook him to his core.

"How is that possible? This level of physical ability has already broken the physiological limits of humanity!"

He was shaken, his eyes fixed on the knight who was walking away into the distance, a look of shock on his face.

As a life scientist in his previous life, he knew that in this world, all life forms have their limits.

Humans, as intelligent life forms, are no exception in this regard.

This limit is a physiological and genetic limit that cannot be broken under natural conditions unless it undergoes countless years of effective evolution.

In Adir's previous life, in a technologically advanced world, there existed such genetic modification. By altering human genes, genetic limits could be artificially broken, creating genetic warriors that surpassed human capabilities.

Although this backward world is mysterious, it is clear that it cannot have the same methods as the previous life, or even if it did, it would not be possible for it to appear in this backward little place.

"Is this the effect of activating the seed of life? Breaking the natural genetic limits of the human body, allowing the body's strength, which had already reached its limit, to rise again, causing a qualitative change and sublimation in life itself."

"This is less about breaking limits and more about a unique evolution."

Thinking of this, Adir's eyes revealed extreme excitement, and his gaze toward the knight was filled with fervor.

"Unfortunately, I don't have the resources to conduct the research. If I had a knight's corpse with the life seed activated, I could probably unravel some of the mysteries."

The professional instincts he carried over from his past life subconsciously aroused Adir's desire to conduct research.

He shook his head, temporarily banishing those unrealistic thoughts from his mind, and walked towards a quiet spot to train alone for a while.

At night, under the orders of Knight Fular, the corpses that had been placed in the camp were dragged out and cremated.

A blazing fire burned fiercely in the center, its light reflecting the silent faces of many people and casting their shadows on the ground.

In the period that followed, the effects of the Knights of Fular began to manifest.

Compared to the original leader, this knight was significantly more aggressive and stronger.

After a few days of reconnaissance, he personally led his men to wipe out several savage tribes that were causing trouble in the area, cutting off their heads and hanging them in front of the camp gate to intimidate the surrounding enemies.

This cruel practice is popular in the world, and it's quite effective.

Within a short period of time, almost all the troublemakers in the vicinity knew that a knight had arrived, causing the area to fall silent for a moment. The originally chaotic situation even showed signs of being suppressed for a time.
