Wizard Immortal

Chapter 131 Meeting

In the center of the luxuriously decorated restaurant, several tables were set up, and a few apprentices were sitting there quietly eating.

"Adir, what are you planning to do next?"

Radel's voice rang out from opposite Adir.

"We should go directly to the Principality of Kuma."

Sitting in the chair, after thinking for a moment, Adir said, "I heard that something happened to my family, and I want to go there as soon as possible to see what's going on."

"I see." Radel nodded. "I'm preparing to return to the Kingdom of Sirama, which is my family's territory."

"If anything happens in the future, you can send someone to find me," he said, looking at Adir.

"I'll send someone to take you there later."

At this moment, Keger chimed in, "The situation around us has been rather chaotic lately, with rebel armies and bandits everywhere, which is quite troublesome."

"Although these people are nothing to us, it's good to save some trouble."

"That will trouble you." Adir nodded and thanked Keger in front of him.

"It's alright," Keger shook his head. "But there are some things I need your involvement in later."

"Although you have agreed to join the Southern Alliance, you have not yet registered, and you also need to find time to meet with the other members of the alliance."

"That's natural."

These things had been mentioned before, so Adir naturally had no objections and nodded in agreement.

Several days later.

At dawn, escorted by five or six hundred warriors, Adir boarded a prepared carriage and set off with the procession into the distance.

Most of the soldiers around were on horseback, and they were not only well-equipped, but their ranks were also much more orderly, giving them an air of elite strength.

These were all teams that Keger specially sent to escort Adir, partly to handle miscellaneous matters along the way, and partly to serve as a kind of decoration.

After a while, the group slowly set off, heading towards the road in the distance.

··················

Two months later.

In a plain, a procession of several hundred people slowly came to a stop by the roadside.

"Elder Adir, we have now entered the territory of the Duchy of Kuma, and we will be able to reach Kuma City in three days."

Inside the extremely luxurious carriage, a knight dressed in black armor with a weapon at his waist looked at Adir with a respectful expression and reported to him.

"There are only a few days left, right?"

Sitting in the carriage, listening to the knight's report, Adir nodded: "Thank you for your hard work. What's your name?"

"Eso Marra." Upon hearing Adir's question, the knight in front of him was taken aback at first, and then quickly replied to Adir.

"Eso, is it?" A hint of appreciation flashed in Adir's eyes as he looked at the respectful knight before him. "You've done very well these past few days. If I have the chance, I'll put in a good word for you with Elder Keger."

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Esso's eyes, but he concealed it well and did not show it.

After a while, having given a brief report on some matters, and seeing that Adir had no further instructions, Esso left the carriage to attend to other matters.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

One day at noon, the outline of a city came into view in the distance, and it looked like it would be reached soon.

However, after arriving here, Adir and his party were discovered by the people of Kuma City.

"Who are you?" A loud voice rang out from afar.

An army of several hundred men appeared in the distance, blocking the way. At this moment, the leading knight stepped forward, looked at the army in front of him, and asked with a solemn expression.

From the knight's perspective, the hundreds of warriors before him were all elite, with top-quality armor and horses, and their orderly ranks showed they had undergone rigorous training.

"Could it be that people from other kingdoms are planning to come and plunder?"

In an instant, this possibility came to his mind, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

"We are here on orders from the Southern Alliance to escort Elder Adir to the Duchy of Kuma."

Seeing what was happening ahead, Esso led two men to the front and shouted at the opposing team.

The knight leading the way was immediately taken aback, somewhat confused about the situation.

As a knight born into a noble family, he might understand some things about the Southern Alliance, but he was completely baffled by the so-called elders.

This is normal, since only the great nobles can come into contact with beings at the wizard level. Unless someone else learns about them by chance, they rarely have access to information about this level.

Although they were somewhat confused about the situation, they had to be treated with utmost care by anyone from the Southern Alliance, especially since the title of "elder" sounded like that of an extremely distinguished person.

"Do you have proof?" he asked, looking across at the other side.

Hearing this, Esso felt a little impatient, but he didn't show it on his face.

He immediately ordered the knight beside him to step forward, take the token that Keger had given him when he set off, and have it checked by the knight leading the opposing team.

The Southern Alliance's credentials are specially made, imbued with magical power and each elder's mark, making them quite unique.

After carefully verifying the authenticity of the credentials, the knight in charge breathed a sigh of relief and immediately divided the group into two teams, with one team remaining in place to act as guides and guards.

He himself led several knights and hurried towards the distant city of Kuma, intending to inform others of the news and have the city prepare to welcome the Alliance's high command.

Because it was just a few knights traveling, they were much faster than the group behind them and soon arrived at the city in the distance.

"What? Elders from the Southern Alliance have arrived?" Surprised voices echoed in a spacious hall.

In the hall, a handsome middle-aged man dressed in aristocratic attire stood there.

If Adir were here, he would definitely recognize the man in front of him as Sidru, who was responsible for getting him onto the ship back then. He looked a bit older and haggard now.

Upon hearing the knight's report, Sidru's face showed surprise: "Are you sure you're an elder from the Southern Alliance?"

As a Grand Knight and a member of the Fakus family, he understood the significance and prestige of being an Elder of the Alliance, and was naturally extremely surprised by the sudden visit of an Elder.

"This might be an opportunity." Upon hearing the news, this thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

In recent years, the Duchy of Kuma has not been doing well. First, it suffered from the effects of war, which greatly weakened its strength. After the war subsided, some unexpected situations arose, and even Duke Arieu himself was seriously injured and is now in a weakened state.

If one could establish a connection with an elder in the Southern Alliance, life would undoubtedly be much easier from now on.

Thinking this, he composed himself and looked at the knight before him, asking, "Which elder of the Alliance has come?"

"According to them, the visitor this time is an elder named Adir."

Hearing Sidru's words, the knight in front of him recalled for a moment, and then answered seriously.

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing the name Adir, Sidru's eyes snapped open, his gaze filled with extreme shock as he looked at the knight before him.

"Send men to prepare immediately, we'll go to the city gate to greet you!" After a while, Sidru's voice rang out quickly in the hall.

On the other side, under the protection of hundreds of warriors, Adir arrived at the city gate of Kuma City more than an hour later.

At the city gate, a group of people were ready to welcome him. Sidru stood in the middle of the procession, with several other people beside him, waiting quietly.

"They're here!" Sidru's heart skipped a beat when he saw the line ahead.

He took a deep breath and quickly walked over with the people beside him.

"My lord, the people from the Duchy of Kuma who came to greet us have arrived."

As Sidru and his entourage approached, Esso walked to the carriage where Adir was and reported to Adir.

"Have we arrived yet?"

Hearing Esso's words, Adir silently opened his eyes, exited his deep meditative state, and then got up and stepped down from the carriage.

As soon as I stepped off the carriage, West Drew's figure became clearly visible in the distance.

"It really is Adir!!" came excited whispers from afar.

Sidru stared silently in the direction of the carriage, and the moment he saw Adir, his face immediately turned excited.

Although more than three years had passed since they last met, Adir's uniquely handsome half-elf appearance had not changed much, and Sidru recognized him at a glance.

As he walked a distance away, looking at Sidru and the others who had come to greet him, Adir smiled as well: "Sidru, it's been a long time."

················

"I really didn't expect that you would have reached this point in just about four years."

In a vast manor, looking at Adir, who looked almost exactly the same as before, except that he had grown much taller, Sidru sighed.

"It was just luck."

Sitting across from Sidru, Adir shook his head and said, "I haven't been in contact with the family for a long time. Tell me about what's been happening here lately."

Sidru nodded, then composed himself before speaking again.

From his account, Adir understood what had happened in the Principality of Kuma over the past few years.

First, there was the war in the north. Due to certain events, several major northern powers moved south together, putting great pressure on some countries along the southern border.

The Principality of Kuma, located on the border of the Southern Alliance, has also faced considerable pressure. In recent years, many events have occurred, causing significant losses to the country.

On the battlefield, Duke Arieux was besieged by three great knights at the same time. He had no choice but to activate his life seed. He collapsed after returning and is now only holding on by sheer willpower.
