Wizard Immortal

Chapter 207 Order

"Wait, don't rush to make a move."

On the opposite training field, watching Adir's movements, Bruceston sensed something was wrong and quickly said, "If I wanted to leave, do you really think you could catch me?"

Hearing this, Adir paused involuntarily as he drew his sword: "What are you trying to say?"

"I am not an enemy to you, who come from the Emerald Hand."

For some unknown reason, Bruce wore a strange smile: "Let me introduce myself. I am Jim, and as you can see, I come from the Black Wizards Alliance."

As he spoke, he took out a jade-colored badge from his hand and tossed it over.

"This is···"

Upon seeing the badge, Adir's expression changed, and he caught it with one hand.

Under the light of the night, the emerald badge emitted a faint glow, emanating a highly distinctive mental fluctuation, the same frequency as that familiar to Adir.

"This is a token of the Jade Hand; it should be enough to prove my sincerity."

The dark wizard named Jim smiled and said, "The specific orders should arrive in a few days, and then you'll understand what's going on."

After saying this, a cloud of black mist rose from the spot, and his figure turned into a shadow, quickly disappearing from the place.

Across from him, watching his departing figure, Adir's face darkened. After hesitating for a moment, he ultimately did not chase after him.

A shadowy figure moved swiftly through the city, stopping only in a forest outside the city.

"Jim, what happened to you?"

In the shadows, a hoarse voice suddenly rang out.

"We were still careless."

Upon arriving here, the black aura surrounding Jim gradually dissipated, revealing a pale face: "That Emerald Hand's dispatched wizard is far more powerful than I imagined. He doesn't seem like a wizard from the Emerald Hand at all; he seems more like someone from our Dark Wizarding League."

"According to the information the Emerald Hand gave us, he wasn't a wizard trained by the Emerald Hand, but a wild wizard who joined later in life. It's normal that his combat strength is stronger than other wizards," the hoarse voice replied.

"Well, that explains it."

Hearing this, Jim shrugged: "Although there were some unexpected issues, the most basic objective was still achieved."

"The target has been stabbed by my dagger and won't have an easy time for a while. It's a good opportunity to hand him over to someone else to deal with."

"How strong is that wizard?" a hoarse voice asked again from the side.

"Very good. To be able to beat me like this, although part of the reason is due to the limitations of this body, the opponent's strength is indeed quite good," Jim replied.

"In that case, let's try to make contact."

Beside them, the figure shrouded in shadow spoke again, a hoarse voice echoing around: "The alliance has just been established and is in dire need of apothecaries. It would be best if we could bring in a skilled apothecary wizard like this."

"Let's find someone to give it a try," Jim nodded.

······················

Returning to the main hall from outside, the disturbance had been quelled.

In the center of the hall, Adela sat on a wooden chair, his face looking rather pale, with an unusual purple hue.

Seeing his expression, Adir frowned: "How are you feeling?"

"This is bad." Adela's face was grim, and his breathing was somewhat disordered. "How about you? Did you catch that dark wizard?"

"no."

Adir shook his head without changing his expression: "That black wizard is very good at hiding his aura. I chased him all the way to the outer city, but he managed to shake me off."

"It's normal that we can't catch up."

Hearing Adir's words, Adela wasn't surprised: "This kind of ability happens to be what black wizards excel at. It's not surprising that the opponent was able to escape from you, Adir, even though he was injured."

After a while, as his injuries worsened, Adela's face turned ashen, and he hurriedly left.

After he left, Adir looked around and made no attempt to stay. He simply walked back the way he came towards his residence.

"Lord Adir, why are you back so soon?"

Back at his lodgings, Thor looked at Adir with some confusion.

"Something happened outside, remember not to go out for a while."

Adir glanced at Thor briefly and asked, "How's that girl?"

"The situation is very good."

Speaking of this, Thor's pale face immediately lit up with excitement: "The marks on Yana's body have mostly faded, it seems the curse has been successfully suppressed."

"Take me to see it." Hearing his words, Adir nodded slightly and then walked towards his laboratory.

In the center of the spacious laboratory, a naked girl lay quietly, looking as if she were asleep.

Compared to before, the dense black marks on her body have faded considerably, with only the mark on her forehead remaining, and it has not yet been released to suppress the attack.

Under the suppression of the witch array on her body, the black scales that had grown on the girl's abdomen disappeared, and the changes within her body stopped, beginning to return to normal.

"She should wake up in a few days."

After standing in front of the experimental table and observing the chip for a while, Adir reached this conclusion and left the laboratory, leaving Thor to stay and watch over things.

And so, several days passed quickly.

The atmosphere in the city has been somewhat tense these past few days.

Even though Adela managed to block the news in time, the news of his assassination and serious injury still spread throughout the city due to the deliberate spread of certain individuals.

If it weren't for the presence of Adir, a formal wizard, and the fact that the lizardmen outside the city hadn't made any moves recently, this city probably wouldn't be so peaceful.

Early in the morning, in a lavishly decorated room, Adir sat in a chair, holding an emerald ring with the mark of the Emerald Hand on it.

At this moment, the ring was emitting a faint green glow, and a mental fluctuation was constantly flashing on it, reminding Adir.

By channeling his magical power into the ring at a specific frequency, a scene quickly appeared before his eyes.

A screen of light appeared before them, and a figure instantly materialized in place. He looked like an old man, none other than Maddo, who had led Adir into the Emerald Hand back then.

"Adir, it's been a long time."

He looked at Adir with a hint of emotion on his face.

"Indeed, if you count the time, it's been several months already."

Adir's expression remained unchanged, a familiar smile appearing on his face: "So, Lord Maido, is there something important you wish to convey by using this communication?"

"indeed."

Opposite Adir, Maddo nodded: "The latest instructions from above indicate that your mission this time is complete."

Hearing this, Adir's heart sank, but his expression remained impassive, revealing only surprise: "What?"

"You don't need to be surprised."

Seeing the expression on Adir's face, Maddo said, "Just half a month ago, the higher-ups made a decision to cooperate with the Black Wizard Alliance..."

·····

The conversation lasted for a full half hour. With a soft sound, the light screen in front of them slowly faded, and Maddo's figure disappeared along with it.

After all this was over, Adir's previously calm expression suddenly turned grim: "In less than three months, they just formed an alliance with Griffin Academy, and now they're changing their minds so easily... What are the higher-ups at the Emerald Hand thinking?"

"And I only just got notified about something this important. So, it seems like wizards who joined halfway through aren't considered one of us at all?"

Thinking of this, Adir's face grew even more gloomy.

The Emerald Hand is a large wizarding academy, and Adir, a formally recruited wizard from outside, is certainly not as well-treated as a formally trained wizard from within the Emerald Hand. Adir is well aware of this.

However, this time, the Emerald Hand's actions made Adir uneasy.

In just a few months, from deciding to provide assistance to betraying his allies and joining the Black Wizard's camp, regardless of whether this decision was correct or not, the task assigned to Adir by the other party alone made Adir feel that something was wrong.

In the conversation just now, besides expressing his apology to Adir, Maddo also gave Adir a task: before leaving, Adir, as the wizard of the Emerald Hand, should personally eliminate Adra.

"Let me, a newly joined official wizard, eliminate Adela as a gesture of goodwill towards the Dark Wizarding Alliance... If we wait until we turn against the Dark Wizarding Alliance and re-establish friendly relations with Griffin Academy, I'll probably be the first one pushed out as a scapegoat..."

Adir's face was gloomy: "They are just a few newly joined official wizards. They are just the right amount of scapegoats. If they can play their role at the right time, judging from the way the academy's higher-ups have done this time, they probably won't hesitate at all."

Thinking of this, he frowned and looked outside.

Outside, the sunlight streamed down onto the earth, bringing warmth.

After hesitating for a moment, Adir got up and walked outside.

He left the manor and quickly exited the outer city.

Arriving outside the city, Adir walked to a plain and took out a black key.

The key is cross-shaped and looks like a piece of black crystal. It is beautifully crafted and has a crown pattern engraved on it, representing some kind of mark.

Holding the key, Adir's expression remained unchanged as he silently channeled his magical power into it.

Under Adir's gaze, the black key emitted a faint black light, making it look quite beautiful.

Not far away, illuminated by this faint light, a strange spiritual fluctuation emerged, causing a flock of black crows to fly over swiftly.

Looking at the flock of black crows, Adir took out a letter, placed it on the ground, and left without even looking at it.

PS: I'll resume two updates a day starting tomorrow.
