Wizard Immortal

Chapter 154 The Girl and the Old Man

Standing still on his horse, Adir looked at the town that was clearly visible in the distance and couldn't help but frown.

At this point, they were very close to the town, less than a hundred meters away on either side, and could see many things very clearly.

The town ahead looked too neat and clean. There was not a trace of mess in front of the town gate, and there wasn't even a speck of dust, as if someone regularly cleaned the place.

In safe zones, this situation wouldn't be unusual, but in dangerous zones that have already fallen, it seems rather strange.

In this world, the bizarre often signifies danger.

Seeing the unusual situation ahead, everyone's eyes, including Sidm and Lati's, were focused on Adir, clearly waiting for his decision.

As time passed, the wind gradually picked up, and raindrops continued to fall, scattering across the earth.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Standing still on his horse, Adir looked at the surrounding sky and said calmly, "It's getting dark, and it's not easy to find a suitable place to take shelter in this rain."

"As for the town in front of us, just be careful."

He looked at the town ahead and reminded the people around him.

Adir had no fear of the strange-looking town before him.

The reason he came out this time was to search for strange things in the surrounding forbidden areas. If there really was something strange in the town in front of him, he would be overjoyed to stumble upon it and naturally would not be afraid.

As the order was given, he slowly walked forward with his entourage.

"You can't go in!"

After a while, when they were still a few dozen meters away from the town gate, a voice suddenly rang out from the side.

"Who?"

Hearing the sound, Sidru and Lati instinctively placed their hands on their swords and looked directly in the direction from which the sound came.

There were ruins of some buildings and a thick patch of grass there, and that's where the sound came from.

A faint sound came from the dense grass, and under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a figure emerged.

It was a girl with blonde hair, wearing a tattered linen robe, who looked to be only about thirteen or fourteen years old, and had many bruises on her body.

Her face was expressionless, her eyes lacking any of the liveliness expected of someone her age; instead, they held a deep numbness. She stared blankly at the crowd, saying, "You can't go in..."

Why?

Looking at the girl in front of him, Adir remained calm and asked a question in return.

However, he frowned inwardly.

He sensed a strange aura within the girl's body, giving him a peculiar feeling.

However, the girl's aura was very faint; if she hadn't been standing right in front of him, Adir would never have noticed her.

"There's something terrifying in this town... If you go there, you'll die..."

Standing there, the girl stared blankly at Adir and spoke numbly.

If you look closely, you can vaguely see some private parts through the girl's clothes, which are torn in countless places. They are partially hidden by the tattered clothes, creating a unique kind of allure.

Standing beside Adir, Sidham blushed slightly as he looked down at the girl, seemingly embarrassed.

However, the girl's expression remained unchanged in front of him, and she seemed completely unconcerned about the gazes of the crowd.

"It's getting dark. If we don't go inside to take shelter from the rain, the danger outside probably won't be much better."

Looking at the blonde girl in front of him, Adir smiled gently: "You live in this town?"

Standing in front of Adir, listening to his words, the girl did not reply, but simply nodded blankly.

"Latti, get her a piece of clothing."

Seeing the girl's appearance, Adir frowned inwardly and turned to give instructions to Lati.

Hearing Adir's words, Lati nodded, took out a red robe from the luggage behind her, walked to the girl's side, and draped it over her shoulders.

After doing all that, the girl glanced at Lati, didn't thank her, and turned to walk towards the town.

Behind her, looking at her appearance, Sidham and the others beside Adir were somewhat displeased.

"Keep up." At that moment, Adir's calm voice rang out from all around.

They followed slowly behind the girl, walking towards the town gate.

Before long, they entered the small town.

The moment he stepped through the town gates, Adir keenly sensed, through his powerful mental energy, that there were dense negative energy particles around him, carrying a very faint, strange aura.

"High-energy radiation detected ahead..." The voice of the chip's mechanical device also rose in his mind.

Hearing the notification from the chip in his mind, Adir's expression didn't change at all. He simply glanced around casually and then followed the blonde girl in front of him.

As you enter the town, the surrounding scenery begins to come into focus.

It was very quiet here, and the surrounding roads and buildings were in perfect condition, showing no signs of disorder, as if people walked around here regularly.

Although the surroundings were deathly silent, there was no trace of blood or mutated monsters to be found, which seemed rather unusual.

They hadn't walked far when several figures suddenly appeared ahead.

He was an elderly man who looked to be around seventy or eighty years old. He was wearing a worn-out black linen robe, and his hair had turned gray and bent. He had a kind smile on his face.

Beside him were two indifferent-looking middle-aged men and a blonde woman who looked to be in her early thirties, following behind the old man step by step.

Upon seeing Adir and his group, as well as the blonde girl ahead, the old man approached with a hint of surprise: "Bonnie, you're back!!"

He quickly walked forward and hugged the blonde girl in front of him, his voice full of concern: "Where have you been? Grandpa has been leading people to look for you everywhere."

The girl's body trembled slightly as the old man in front of her embraced her, though not noticeably.

She didn't respond to the old man's words, but just stood there blankly, the numbness on her face becoming more and more obvious.

"And who are you, gentlemen?"

Only then did the old man notice Adir and the others in front of him. He took a few steps back while holding the girl, a look of wariness appearing on his face.

"We are travelers passing through, and since it is getting late, we are looking for lodging in this small town for the night. Is there any problem?"

Looking at the old man before him, Adir smiled knowingly.

"This...of course, no problem."

Standing there, listening to Adir's words, the old man hesitated for a moment: "This town is quite large. If you just want to find a place to spend the night and take shelter from the rain, you can just find any empty house."

"Lord Blue...please don't say that."

At this moment, a blonde woman in her early thirties spoke up, "Since you gentlemen have come to our town, why don't you come to our place?"

"We can prepare hot water for the adults so they can take a shower."

As soon as she spoke, some of the men in front of her, including Sidham, were tempted.

After trekking through the wilderness for more than half a month, conditions were naturally not very good. In addition, they had been caught in the rain, so having hot water and warm food at this time would definitely be a treat.

Despite this, they remained wary of the place.

In a dangerous and eerie area, a family lives in a small town, which seems rather unusual.

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but turn their gaze to Adir in front of them, clearly waiting for his decision.

Under the watchful eyes of many behind him, Adir glanced up at the sky before finally nodding reluctantly and forcing a smile: "Then I'll have to trouble you."

"It's alright, we rarely have guests here."

Standing in front, holding Bonnie in his arms, Blue smiled kindly: "Please come with us."

After saying this, he turned around first and led the others forward.

Behind them, watching the old man's back, Adir frowned almost imperceptibly, then walked forward with him.

After a while, they walked to the center of the town.

There were some tall buildings around, which looked quite new. Figures gradually appeared in the surrounding area, and they were all somewhat surprised to see Adir and his group.

"Another outsider has arrived." A faint voice kept coming from the side.

Riding his horse along the road, casually surveying his surroundings, Adir's expression remained unchanged, but his heart skipped a beat.

Upon arriving here, the concentration of negative energy particles in the surrounding area suddenly increased, and the strange aura became even stronger, carrying a faint ominous meaning.

This is highly unusual.

The concentration of negative energy particles here is so high that living here for a long time will definitely have a certain impact on people's health, not only making them weak, but also potentially causing sudden death.

However, there are many ordinary people living around this area, and they all seem to be unaffected by the negative energy, which is obviously very abnormal.

Adir also sensed a strange aura emanating from these people, deeply rooted within each of them, and well concealed.

Among them, the old man named Kuru had the strongest aura, far more complex than he appeared on the surface.

Looking at the residents around him who were no different from ordinary people, Adir saw a faint green light flash before his eyes, within which a large amount of data was constantly emerging.

"Name: Kuru. Strength: 2.1. Agility: 1.7. Constitution: 2.2."

In an instant, the opponent's physical attributes appeared in front of Adir.

This physical ability is terrifying, comparable to some senior knight apprentices, and can easily handle several elite warriors.

Among those present, besides Adir, only Sidm and Lati had the potential to hold their own against him. Even if the other guards joined forces, they might not be able to defeat him.

Ahhh, there won't be a second update tonight, one more chapter owed.
