Wizard Immortal

Chapter 163 Test

Several days later, as the earth outside was illuminated by a faint light, Adir and his party set off again.

This time, apart from Sidham and some ordinary guards, he did not bring any extra people and headed directly along the simple road toward the castle where Thor was.

Not long after, after traveling for more than a day, the outline of a castle began to appear in the distance, exuding an ancient and worn atmosphere, standing quietly at the far end of the road.

Meanwhile, ahead, as previously agreed, Thor was already waiting with his men, clearly having received a message from Adir's messengers.

"Haha, Lord Adir, you've finally arrived!"

As soon as they arrived ahead, Thor eagerly rode his horse forward, his face beaming with hospitality, as if he had missed Adir very much during this time.

After several months apart, Saul has changed a lot.

His body became thicker and stronger, his muscles looked firm and powerful, and he seemed more energetic and vigorous, as if he had returned to his prime and looked much younger.

It must be said that although the Knight's Breath given by Adir had serious side effects, its effects were still quite good. In just a few months, it could transform an ordinary person who had never been exposed to knight training into a powerful knight apprentice. If those knight apprentices who had worked hard to train knew about this, they would definitely be green with envy.

Of course, with such good results, the side effects were also considerable. If it weren't for the carefully prepared medicine by Adir, he would have died immediately.

For a mere knight training session, a third-class apprentice who was about to become a full-fledged wizard was specially assigned to prepare potions. Such a luxurious treatment was something that few people in the wizarding world could enjoy.

They talked for a while on horseback before quickly entering the castle in front of them.

Compared to a few months ago, the castle in front of me doesn't look much different, except that the faces of the warriors around me seem to have changed, but it's not noticeable.

The stench of blood left over from the massacre had completely dissipated, and the residents seemed to have forgotten the events of a few months ago, each busy with their own lives.

After a while, they walked to the center of the castle and came to a large hall.

Upon arriving, Thor gave a few instructions to the servant beside him, and then sat down with Adir.

Not long after, the black-robed attendant came out again, carrying a black wooden box that looked like it contained something.

The black-robed attendant respectfully placed the wooden box on the wooden table in front of Adir, then stepped back and stood silently beside Thor, awaiting the next command.

"These are the nectar grasses I've collected around here over this period of time. I had to do a lot of favors to get these little things from those nobles."

Looking at the black box on the wooden table in front of him, Thor smiled and, as he spoke, pushed the wooden box toward Adir, gesturing for him to open it and take a look.

Without hesitation, Adir picked up the wooden table in front of him and opened it.

The moment the wooden box was opened, a delicate fragrance, like that of lilies, wafted out, instantly invigorating anyone who smelled it.

Inside the wooden box were some black, dried grass, all of which had dried out completely; there were probably a dozen or so stalks.

"good!"

Looking at the necromancy in the wooden box in front of him, Adir, though he had expected it, couldn't help but show a look of joy on his face.

Although all the undead grass in front of us has withered, it does not have a significant impact on the medicinal properties of the materials. Judging from the quantity we have, it is enough to make ten drops of spirit potion.

With ten sets of materials, even if Adir was unlucky, he could at least refine two finished products, which naturally pleased Adir.

"how?"

Seeing the undisguised joy on Adir's face, Thor smiled as well: "Lord Adir, are you satisfied with these things?"

"I am very satisfied."

Meeting Thor's signal, Adir didn't hide anything and nodded directly: "These materials are very important to one of my experiments. Lord Thor has done me a great favor this time."

"In return, I will prepare a few more vials of Crimson Blood and send them to you, sir!"

"Haha, thanks a lot!"

Hearing Adir's words, Thor was overjoyed and felt equally happy.

After using the Crimson Blood that Adir had been given, he always wanted to obtain more.

Not only does one's own body need to be maintained by frequently using Crimson Blood, but it also has other beneficial effects. It can heal injuries and, to some extent, slow down aging.

After all, judging by the potion's grade alone, the Crimson Blood specially concocted by Adir was already considered a basic potion, and it was a very precious thing for ordinary wizards. Even though what Adir gave to Thor was actually just a simplified version after being mixed with water, the effect was still very significant for Thor, an ordinary person who wasn't even a knight.

Furthermore, to better control the effects, Adir tampered with these drugs. While this didn't affect their efficacy, it created an extremely strong addictive effect in the user.

Judging from Thor's current craving for Crimson Blood, he is clearly already addicted.

Sitting in front of Adir, Thor was pleased, but he hadn't forgotten something else. He pretended to suddenly realize something and said, "By the way, Lord Adir mentioned in his letter that he could take a few people from my tribe as apprentices and personally teach them knightly training."

"Since the weather is nice now, why don't we start now?"

He looked at Adir and said with a smile.

"Alright."

Sitting on the wooden chair, after thinking for a moment, Adir nodded, but still reminded him, "However, I must remind you that even if I am willing to teach, if you do not have the aptitude to become a knight, you simply cannot learn."

"A knight's qualifications?"

Upon hearing this, Thor frowned.

He had originally thought that anyone could learn Adir's teachings if they were willing, but now, listening to Adir's explanation, it seemed that this was not the case at all.

"Is the chance of possessing knightly qualifications very low?"

After thinking about it for a while, he suspected that Adir was saying it on purpose, so he tentatively asked.

Under his gaze, Adir nodded directly: "Yes, very low."

"Since I settled in this area, I have searched a lot around here, but so far, apart from you, Lord Thor, I have only found five people with knightly qualifications."

"However, Lord Thor, your situation is somewhat better."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Sitting opposite Adir, Thor, who had been frowning at the low probability, couldn't help but ask in return with interest after hearing Adir's words.

"The chances of a person with knightly qualities having descendants who also possess knightly qualities are much higher."

Meeting Thor's gaze, Adir remained calm: "Since you, Lord Thor, possess the qualities of a knight, then among your people, the likelihood of someone possessing knightly qualities is far greater than that of an ordinary person."

"so···"

Upon hearing this, Thor's face showed a thoughtful expression, clearly indicating that he had thought of something.

They sat there chatting for a while, then got up and walked to the side.

They walked and stopped frequently, and soon they arrived at a small square where some people were already waiting.

Most of these people were teenagers, the oldest of whom looked to be only in his early twenties and the youngest only seven or eight years old.

At the very front of these people stood three boys side by side, each dressed in different clothes, who were clearly the leaders of the group and were probably Thor's children.

"Why are there so few people?"

As he walked into the square, looking at the crowd standing in front of him, Adir frowned.

Although there seemed to be a lot of people in front of them, there were actually only about thirty, which was not many at all compared to the extremely low probability of possessing the knight's aptitude.

With just these people, it would be extremely difficult to find someone with the qualities of a knight.

Listening to Adir's words, Thor wore a strange expression.

The people in front of him were all people he had recruited beforehand. They were mostly his own people, either his children and descendants or some close relatives.

He initially thought there were too many people, but now it seems there are indeed too few.

"Let's relax the age limit."

Standing still, Adir turned around and looked at Thor, saying, "Anyone under the age of forty who is a member of your clan, Lord Thor, is welcome to take the test."

"In addition, it's not limited to men; even girls can come and take the test."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Adir." Thor nodded. "I'll send someone to fetch them right away."

Hearing his words, Adir nodded, then turned to look ahead and told them to walk forward one by one.

With the presence of the chip, the testing of these dozens of people was completed quickly.

To Adir's surprise, among the dozens of people in front of him, he actually found two apprentices with knightly qualifications, one of whom happened to be Thor's own child.

This probability is quite good compared to the mere dozens of people in front of him, which surprised Adir.

"Indeed, searching directly among these families that possess knights is the fastest way."

Looking at Thor beside him, Adir began to understand why the wizarding world valued bloodlines so much.

The test for this group of people ended quickly. The losers were naturally a little disheartened, while the two who succeeded stood excitedly behind Adir, looking somewhat thrilled.
