Wizard Immortal

Chapter 151 Blackmail

Early in the morning, on a spacious flat area, several people were training with swords in their hands.

Upon closer inspection, there were four people in total: three men and one woman. Apart from one man who looked to be in his thirties, the others did not appear to be very old.

Among these four people was Sidru, whom Adir had personally selected. He was also holding a longsword and training hard, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

In the distance, Ariel stood under a large tree, watching the four people training in the distance, her gaze remaining fixed for a long time.

At this moment, her appearance had changed drastically. Not only had her previously emaciated, corpse-like figure become fuller, but her filthy gray robe had also been replaced with a clean white robe. Although she still looked somewhat frightening due to the bloodstains all over her body, she was much better than before.

"Are you watching them train again?"

As Ariel focused on watching the training in the distance, a gentle voice came from beside her.

At some point, Adir walked up to Ariel with a gentle smile on his face.

"Lord Adir, you've come out."

Hearing the voice coming from the side, Ariel's face lit up with joy.

"Yeah, it's been three whole days, it's about time we came out for some fresh air."

Standing beside Ariel, Adir gave a gentle smile: "Let's go, let's go take a look ahead."

Following in Adir's footsteps, they moved forward.

Upon reaching the front, the people training there also spotted Adir and immediately became respectful, their expressions turning solemn: "Lord Adir!"

"How are you feeling?"

Looking at the four people in front of him, Adir's expression remained unchanged, and he spoke directly.

The four people in front of him were people he had searched for from all over the place during this period of time. Apart from Sidru, who came from the manor, the other three came from Thor's territory. After they were found, he personally trained them for a period of time.

At this moment, standing in front of Adir and listening to his words, the four people exchanged glances before expressing their feelings one by one.

Adir nodded in agreement with the problems they exhibited in practicing the Knight's Breathing Technique, explaining some of the key points and correcting their mistakes.

He showed a certain degree of respect for the people in front of him.

These are the initial knight seeds. Once these few grow up, Adir won't need to go through so much trouble to train knights in the future.

As for the time needed for these individuals to grow, Adir, as a wizard, could afford to wait.

As Adir instructed the group of Sidru, Ariel watched from the side, her eyes filled with envy.

This world has endured countless calamities, and anyone who survived possesses an instinctive thirst for power. Ariel, a former scavenger, is particularly fixated on this.

Unfortunately, Adir had tested her long ago and found that she did not have the talent to activate the Seed of Life, so even training would only be a waste of time.

After instructing the Sidru and his companions, he led Ariel and Adir outside.

In the distance, Sid was already waiting there, pacing anxiously in circles.

"Your Excellency, you've come out?"

Seeing Adir come out, Sid breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed to him, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.

At this point, two full months had passed since Adir became the lord of this region.

During these two months, Adir didn't just stay in the spacious manor all day; he did some things.

The territory was frequently harassed by mutated monsters, and sometimes powerful ones appeared that even Thor's guards couldn't handle. Therefore, Adir intervened several times during this period.

With just a few sword strikes, even the most powerful monster would succumb, shocking and even enthralling countless onlookers.

If a powerful mutated monster appears within the territory of Thor's castle, Adir will also be asked to come and help.

As time passed, Adir also gained considerable fame in this region, even acquiring some followers and earning the title of Wind Knight.

Having witnessed his previous terrifying performance, few dared to disrespect Adir at this moment.

Standing before Adir, and observing Adir's expression, Sid spoke, "Baron, Lord Thor has sent someone to see you..."

"What?" Adir smiled, somewhat intrigued. "What powerful monster has appeared near his castle again?"

"No, this time it's not about that..."

Standing before Adir, Sid lowered his head and said, "It seems that Lord Thor has had a minor health issue during recent training, so he sent someone to inquire with the Baron..."

"Is there a problem with your health?"

Hearing Sid's words, Adir's expression remained unchanged, and he felt no surprise whatsoever.

He naturally knew what was wrong with Thor; it was entirely due to the Knight Breathing Technique that Thor had practiced.

The Knight Breathing Technique he taught Thor, although it was also deduced by him through the chip, was an extremely violent and dangerous version. Although the progress would be much faster than other breathing techniques, it would put a great strain on the body, and if nothing unexpected happened, it would be almost impossible to activate the life seed.

Thor has practiced this ferocious knight's breathing technique for so long that his internal injuries have probably accumulated to a certain extent, so it's normal for his body to have problems now.

"It seems that Thor has been practicing that knight's breathing technique very diligently since he left."

Standing there, recalling the scene, this thought flashed through Adir's mind.

Normally, even with the berserk version of the Knight's Breathing Technique, the opponent's body shouldn't have problems so quickly; there should be at least a long period of recovery.

The fact that problems have arisen so quickly only shows that the other person was practicing very hard, which caused their body to be unable to cope in such a short time, leading to these problems.

Thinking of this, Adir shook his head.

Strictly speaking, while he did teach Thor the breathing technique partly to counterbalance him, he actually had no other choice.

The other party is far too old. Considering the age required to practice the Knight Breathing Technique, the other party has undoubtedly passed the golden age. No matter how much one practices the ordinary Knight Breathing Technique, it probably won't be of much use.

Only this kind of violent breathing technique, which is practiced at the cost of frantically damaging one's life force, can enable someone to successfully practice it at that age and gain extremely powerful enhancements.

"Bring that messenger into the hall."

Standing still and calming himself, Adir looked at Sid in front of him and gave instructions.

After saying that, he turned and walked away.

A moment later, a guard dressed in black robes walked over into the hall. Upon seeing Adir, he immediately lowered his head and said respectfully, "Lord Adir."

Standing before him, listening to his words, Adir nodded: "I already know why you've come."

"These are the things I prepared, along with this letter. You can give them to Lord Saul later."

As he spoke, he took out a letter and a bottle of crimson liquid that emitted a faint fragrance from the side.

This is the Crimson Blood that Adir has newly researched during this period, and it is also one of his achievements during this time.

After extensive research, the blood extracted from mutated monsters has proven to be as potent as some highly effective basic potions, proving extremely beneficial for ordinary people.

If ordinary people drink it regularly, not only will their bodies become stronger and their hidden injuries be healed, but their lifespan will also be extended significantly.

As for Thor's situation, if he could use some Crimson Blood every now and then, it would be enough to heal his hidden injuries and make him feel less uncomfortable.

Of course, this healing is only superficial; it can only pull the body back from the brink of collapse. If the Crimson Blood is not used for a period of time, the body may immediately break down again.

This is also a method that Adir uses to control the other party.

If the two sides turn against each other later, Adir doesn't need to do anything. He just needs to wait quietly for a while, and the other party will automatically collapse and die.

Adir described each of these conditions in his letters.

Of course, he didn't put it so bluntly. He merely described Crimson Blood as a unique drug necessary for practicing the Knight's Breathing Technique, without being too explicit.

However, given the other party's intelligence, they will naturally understand the underlying threat and will subsequently feel some apprehension.

After handing the items to the black-robed guard in front of him and taking care of some other matters, Adir walked to a room deep inside the manor.

There, a laboratory that Adir considered somewhat crude had already been set up.

In a corner of the laboratory, the corpses of several mutated monsters lay there.

Besides the corpses of these mutated monsters, there were also a large number of ordinary plants and various kinds of blood around them.

These are all things that Adir has collected around here during this time.

In this new world, many resources are unique to this world. Perhaps a plant that is extremely common in this world is an extremely precious medicinal herb in another world.

Therefore, after arriving in this world, Adir collected many things and gained a lot during this time.

P.S.: I recommend a book written by a friend called "Yakuza Knight".

This book was written by my friend, and I read it myself; it's really well-written. The protagonist's cheat ability is the "Talent Net," which allows him to acquire the same talent as others simply by interacting with them. It's very interesting.

This author was writing books elsewhere, and although they were quite good, they couldn't get a contract after writing 300,000 words. They were about to give up, but I persuaded them to come back. Now they're starting a new fantasy book.

This is truly a great author, and I'm also following his books. I sincerely hope he won't be overlooked. So I hope all readers will take a look, and if you like this type of book, please add it to your favorites.

Note: The bio for this item might not be very well written, but the book itself is quite good...
