Wizard Immortal

Chapter 223, Part 222: The Bloodline of the Moon Goddess

In the ruins of the Elf King, Adir witnessed images left behind by an Elf High Priest, which contained a wealth of information, including the advanced meditation technique of the Moon Goddess's Sacrifice, all of which were deliberately left behind by the high priest.

In that part of the message, the sender also mentioned a curse, but did not leave any detailed explanation.

Silently closing his eyes, Adir thought about what he had read that day, instinctively linking the destruction and curse of the Emerald World elves.

"It seems there are still many mysteries surrounding the elf race that I am unaware of."

Thinking of this, Adir frowned: "But in that case, it will be difficult for me to achieve my goal this time."

The reason Adir chose to come to this world is because there are likely elves in this world who could potentially complete his moon elf bloodline, or even find the continuation of the Moon Goddess Sacrifice.

However, plans often go awry. Although this world was indeed the birthplace of elves, as Adir had predicted, the elves of this world were mysteriously wiped out, and now not a single living pure-blooded elf can be found in the entire world.

This left Adir feeling helpless.

"Fortunately, the entire elven civilization of the Emerald World was wiped out in one fell swoop, but the traces of the past cannot be completely erased so quickly. There will definitely be many relics related to the elves left behind."

Standing there, looking at the bookshelves filled with books, Adir thought to himself, "In fact, since the elven civilization has been destroyed, it might be even easier to obtain some things."

With that thought in mind, he turned and walked outside, intending to find Fred and Evan to ask them some questions.

By this time, it was getting dark outside. Led by a servant, Adir arrived at a large hall and found Fred.

"The story of the ancient elves could be told for a very long time."

In the spacious hall, upon hearing Adir's purpose, Fred sighed, "In fact, we don't know much about the truth behind the destruction of the ancient elves either; we only know that it ended in just a few days."

He looked at Adir and said, "According to some records of wizards from that era, one night, the sky was suddenly shrouded in blood, and then the eyes of all the elves in the Emerald World began to turn red, and their bodies underwent some kind of mutation. Whether they were commoners or wizards, they all began to die, without exception."

"This sounds..." Adil frowned slightly as he listened to Fred's description.

"It sounds like a curse, doesn't it?"

Fred began, "In fact, many wizards who lived through that era, after a long period of research, also believe that it was a powerful curse specifically targeting the bloodline of elves."

"However, many powerful wizards can curse an individual or even an entire family, but to curse an entire world and cause all the elves in that world to die, I cannot imagine what kind of terrifying power that would be."

At this point, Fred sighed, "You know, elves are the native inhabitants of the Emerald World. According to some records left from that time, at the height of the Emerald World, the number of elves was at least tens of billions, including a large number of powerful elven wizards, and even pure-blooded moon elf royalty."

"Such powerful forces would be enough to wage war against some worlds, yet they were destroyed in just a few days. It's unbelievable."

Did the wizards of that era study this situation?

Adir asked with a grave expression, "Such a terrifying curse couldn't have happened without a reason; there should have been some traces."

"Of course."

Fred nodded: "In fact, even now, many wizards are still studying what happened back then, trying to find out the reason for the extinction of the elves."

"After detailed research and speculation, many wizards believe that the extinction of the elves must be related to certain events in ancient times."

"In ancient times." Adir murmured to himself, a hint of doubt in his voice.

"Yes, in ancient times."

Fred sighed, a hint of emotion in his eyes: "During that period, the ancient wizards expanded on a massive scale, conquering countless worlds and leaving their mark on many of them. Along the way, the ancient wizards also encountered many powerful worlds, some of which were so powerful that even the ancient wizards found them troublesome and were unable to subdue them for a long time."

"The elves, as one of the earliest races to join the wizarding ranks, were also a major force among wizards in ancient times, and the reputation of the ancient elven kings is known in many worlds."

"You mean, in ancient times, when the elven wizards were conquering other worlds, they encountered a powerful adversary, thus incurring the wrath of some powerful being?"

Hearing Fred's words, Adir's expression turned serious, and he responded.

"That could be very big."

Fred began, "Many documents unearthed from the elven ruins record the ancient elven king suppressing the demon gods of another world, and even now, legends still circulate in the Emerald World."

"In fact, the period when the elves were wiped out was right at the end of the ancient era."

"Of course, this is just a guess."

At this point, he chuckled and said, "In fact, many wizards have studied the reasons for the destruction of the ancient elves, but there is still no definitive conclusion, and no result can be drawn."

"But the extinction of the elves is a fact. In the Emerald World today, only some ancient wizard families remain, and the blood of the ancient elves still flows in their veins."

Listening to his words, Adir sat on a wooden chair to the side and pondered for a long time.

A multitude of thoughts swirled in his mind, one after another, he could recall them.

It wasn't until a while later that he came to his senses, his expression returning to calm. He then looked at Fred in front of him and said, "Sorry, I'm very interested in elven things, so I accidentally got lost in thought."

"It's okay."

Fred smiled and said, "It's actually quite normal to be interested in elven things. After all, our current civilization is, strictly speaking, rebuilt from the ruins of elven civilization, and many things were unearthed from elven relics."

"However, if you're interested in elf stuff, I can take you to our local market, where there are usually lots of newly unearthed items."

"Thank you very much then," Adir said to Fred, who was standing in front of him.

"You're welcome."

Fred's expression remained unchanged as he looked at Adir for a long time before speaking, "In fact, I also have some things I'd like to confirm with Lord Adir."

"Um?"

Hearing this, Adir was a little confused and subconsciously looked up at Fred in front of him.

"Lord Adir, would you be willing to become the guardian mage of our Kingdom of Gaur?"

Under Adir's gaze, Fred's expression turned serious, and he solemnly asked, "I can sense that the powerful bloodline in Lord Adir is the same as the bloodline flowing in our Erasl family, belonging to the ancient Moon God bloodline."

"Lunar Goddess Bloodline." Hearing this somewhat unfamiliar term, Adir was puzzled for a moment, but then quickly realized what it meant.

When he first arrived in this world, he naturally didn't understand what the Moon God's bloodline represented. However, after reading a large number of books in this world, Adir naturally understood the meaning of the Moon God's bloodline.

The so-called bloodline of the Moon Goddess is in fact the bloodline of the ancient Moon Elves.

In the folk legends of the Jade World, the ancient Moon Elf King is known as the King of the Moon because he possesses the power to destroy the world, and is also known as the Moon God.

Thinking of this, Adir's expression changed suddenly, and his gaze towards Fred became somewhat strange.

He hadn't expected to be so lucky. He thought that after the complete extinction of the elves in the Emerald World, the bloodline of the Moon Elf, even if it hadn't disappeared, would be hard to find now. But here was one right in front of him.

Seeing the change in Adir's expression, Fred didn't think too much about it and simply explained to him, "Becoming the guardian wizard of the Kingdom of Goro doesn't require you to do much, Lord Adir. On the contrary, there will be many conveniences in this area. In return, you only need to occasionally help the royal family. You don't need to do too much."

"Of course, if Lord Adir wants to do something, we will not stop you, and we can even provide you with some conveniences to a certain extent."

Listening to Fred's explanation, Adir roughly understood the responsibilities and obligations of this so-called guardian wizard.

Based on what the other party explained, this guardian wizard seems to have an employment relationship. The Kingdom of Gaoluo would meet Adir's needs within a certain range, and Adir would only need to help them a few times occasionally.

Overall, the conditions seem quite lenient, with no major restrictions.

After thinking for a while, Adir finally decided to join.

Having come to this world, he did not intend to stay for too long. At most, after half a year, he would need to leave this world and return to the wizarding world.

During the next six months, Adir needs to increase his power as much as possible. To do this, it would be much easier with the help of local forces, whether it's gathering knowledge about the wizards of this world or helping to find relics related to the elves.

Having received Adir's accurate reply, Fred seemed very pleased and chatted with Adir for a long time before hurriedly leaving.

"It seems that in the Emerald World, formal wizards are also considered high-level combatants, otherwise they wouldn't be valued so highly."

Watching Fred's hurried departure, Adir muttered to himself, "Of course, it's also possible that the Kingdom of Gaura is relatively weak."

That night, at Fred's arrangement, Adir rested at the manor for the night.

The next day, at Adir's request, Fred took Adir on another trip.

At noon, the carriage moved slowly along the wide road. Around the carriage, knights on horseback guarded the area, dispersing pedestrians in front of it.

"Are the trading points around here not located within the city?"

Sitting inside the ornately decorated carriage, sensing the direction it was heading, Adir looked at Fred sitting beside him and asked.

"Of course not."

Fred chuckled and said, "There are many things that need to be kept secret in these wizard trading posts. If they were located in the city, many things would be more complicated."

"Moreover, it's not good for ordinary people to see many of the things traded at the trading point."

Hearing him say this, Adir didn't say anything, but just nodded, closed his eyes, and silently immersed himself in the knowledge in his mind.

Despite this, the chip inside his body was operating at high speed, and any unusual activity in the surroundings would be detected immediately.

After traveling for more than an hour, in an open area outside, as the carriage wheels gradually came to a stop, Adir opened his eyes and looked at Fred beside him.

Without saying a word, they walked out in perfect unison.

Before them lay a bustling market, surrounded by numerous guards, some of whom emanated faint magical energy.

As was his habit, Adir subconsciously looked around.

He could see at least a hundred guards right in front of him, but most of them were ordinary elite warriors, and a few knights who had activated the Seed of Life. There were only two wizard apprentices who actually had magic power, and their magic power was very weak. They should only be ordinary second-class apprentices.

This level of protection is far weaker than that of the Maison region, and even compared to some wizard trading posts on the northern plains.

Are there still ordinary people here?

Looking at the figures coming and going in the same spot, Adir frowned and asked.

In this market, dozens of people walked by, each dressed in gorgeous clothes, but apart from a few wizards, most of them were ordinary people.

"no way."

Seeing Adir's strange expression, Fred looked somewhat helpless: "There are too few wizards in this area. If this market were set up specifically for wizards, I'm afraid there wouldn't be many people coming here now."

"In fact, the entry requirements for this market are quite high. Apart from wizards, only certain nobles of high status or people who have activated the Seed of Life are qualified to enter. Everyone else will be kept out."

At this point, he looked at Adir and smiled, "Don't be fooled by the relatively small number of wizards in this place; in reality, it's the best wizard trading point among the surrounding countries."

"Okay." Adir shrugged, a hint of helplessness on his face.

He now realized that he might have overestimated the average level of the Emerald World. If even ordinary wizard apprentices were so rare, then the number of formal wizards, or even second-level wizards, was unimaginable.

I just don't know if this is the average level of the jade world, or if it's just because this place is relatively remote.
