Wizard Immortal

Chapter 226 Bones

"When did the Kingdom of Gaoluo gain another guardian wizard?"

Standing in the hall, watching Adir and the others walk away, the white-robed old man in charge of collecting the magic stones wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, somewhat puzzled.

In this region, the Kingdom of Gaoluo is still very powerful. Only those who are formal wizards can become the guardian wizards of this country.

Even the entire Kuma Merchant Guild would treat a formal wizard as a figure of great importance, let alone this being just a branch.

On the other side, walking on the wide, flat road, Adir was in a very good mood.

This was not only because of the ice coffin carried by the several strong men beside him, but also because of the dozens of magic crystals that were extra on his body.

In the previous hall, Adir took out most of the magic stones he had and exchanged them for more than fifty magic crystals.

If this were a place like the Maison region, where magic crystals are monopolized by various wizarding organizations, it would be impossible to exchange ordinary magic stones for these magic crystals.

However, these are pretty much the limits.

This time, Adir used most of his magic stones to exchange for magic crystals, and now he doesn't have many magic stones left.

At this moment, led by Fred, Adir was walking towards the other side of the market.

We've arrived.

Walking in a cold, gloomy corner, Fred's deep voice sounded beside me.

He looked at Adir and said with a smile, "This is the place I told you about. Although it's a bit small, it's a good choice if you want materials."

Hearing his words, Adir didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly, then turned around and looked around.

The surroundings were a messy scene, with wooden tables set up around them, each with a small black tower on it, some embroidered with different markings, looking very old.

Standing here, a chilling feeling washes over you from all around, carrying a unique aura of negative energy particles.

"Welcome, esteemed guests." A hoarse, deep voice sounded from the side.

Under Adir's gaze, a person dressed in a black robe and wearing a bronze mask walked from the side to Adir and his companions.

He was dressed in a black robe that covered his entire body, and a mask made it impossible to see his face. The only clues to his age were the wrinkles on his arms.

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

Looking at the strange man wearing the bronze mask, Fred greeted him, "I didn't expect to see you here."

"Lord Fred, it's been a long time."

Jimur nodded, first greeting Fred, then turning to Adir beside him: "And who is this gentleman?"

"I am Adir," Adir said.

"It's a pleasure to see you, stranger, sir."

Jimur's face was concealed by a bronze mask, making his expression unreadable. Only his pure black eyes gazed at Adir, giving off a calm and serene feeling: "I can sense the powerful aura emanating from you, my lord."

"Your senses are quite good."

Adir said with some surprise.

At this moment, his aura was completely concealed by the distorted force field around him, making him appear like an ordinary person, with nothing about him visible.

The aura emanating from Jimur was also very weak, but judging from his mental strength, he was probably only at the peak of a third-class apprentice, not yet a formal wizard. The fact that he could sense Adir's aura meant that his perception was undoubtedly quite good.

"Haha, Jimur is an expert in this area."

Looking at the two of them, Fred pointed at Adir and said, "Lord Adir needs some materials for his bloodline experiments. Do you have any good stuff?"

"Bloodline experiments, is that it?"

Jimur nodded: "Please come with me."

He watched the two of them utter this sentence, and then took the lead and walked forward.

Before long, they arrived at another flat area.

This is a very spacious area, surrounded by rows of silver coffins and many small black towers.

Upon arriving here, Adir felt the chill emanating from the surroundings intensify, and the negative energy around him grew stronger.

"These are all recently arrived goods, and there are descriptions on them. You can take a look for yourselves."

After glancing at the two of them, Jimur spoke.

He looked at the coffins scattered on the ground and simply waved his hand.

A force field swept across his palm, and several coffins around him opened, revealing their contents.

They were incomplete corpses, mostly mummies, with a few still covered in rotting flesh, which looked rather disgusting.

"These were recently dug up from various places and then placed in coffins for preservation. They are all rare items. You can pick out a few." Jimur's voice rang out again from the side.

Hearing his voice, Adir stepped forward and looked at the corpses.

The corpses in front of us looked horrific; many were twisted and many were broken.

The allure of the ancient elves is long gone from these corpses; they only evoke disgust.

"How many magic stones will these cost?"

Looking at the corpses before him, Adir's expression remained unchanged as he looked at Jimur and asked.

"Does the master want to buy them all?"

Jimur was taken aback, then said, "These corpses are mostly from the Elven royal family, and they are relatively well-preserved, so they will be quite expensive."

"There are five corpses in total. If you wish, sir, you will only need two magic crystals."

"So expensive?"

Hearing the price, Adir frowned inwardly.

Two magic crystals, according to the exchange unit of the Kingdom of Gaoluo, are worth a full 20,000 magic stones.

So many magic stones, even in the Emerald World, would be a huge sum, but now they're only enough to buy a few corpses.

If the other party hadn't been just a third-class apprentice who wouldn't have dared to cheat a formal wizard, Adir would have almost thought he'd stumbled upon a shady business.

"Two magic crystals can buy the corpses of five ancient elven royalty. That's a pretty good price."

Listening to Jimur's quote, Fred nodded, seemingly satisfied with the price: "Adir, if your experiment isn't too big, buying two is enough; there's no need to buy them all."

He looked at Adir and said, "Several of these corpses have been sitting here for years. Few people need them except for people like us, so there's no need to buy them all at once."

"fine."

Adir shook his head slightly, looked at Jimur and smiled, "I'll take all these materials. However, besides these well-preserved corpses, I also need some other materials."

"plz follow me."

Jimur nodded, his voice unconsciously becoming much more respectful, and then led Adir to the side.

He pointed to the dozens of small black towers placed to the side and looked at Adir, saying, "These are sacrificial towers, a unique way for the ancient elves to bury themselves. They contain the ashes of the ancient elves."

"At the top of these black towers, there will be the family crest of the deceased, which represents their status and position in life."

Looking at Adir, he explained.

"We don't need this thing."

Fred chimed in, "This thing is suitable for other experiments, but as for bloodline experiments, I'd like to know how a bunch of ashes can be purified?"

"Sorry, these are basically all that's left."

Jimur's hoarse voice rang out from the side: "Aside from the five corpses from before, what I have here is either ashes or a bunch of skeletons. To you, it's probably all the same."

"That's why I said your place is small."

Fred shrugged and turned to look at Adir, clearly waiting for him to make a decision.

"I'll pass on the ashes, but I might want to take a look at skulls and such."

Under the gaze of the two men, Adir remained calm and spoke to Jimur in front of him.

Hearing Adir's words, Jimur didn't say anything more, but calmly walked to the side.

That's all.

He walked to a corner, looked at Adir, and spoke.

Hearing his words, Adir turned to look ahead.

Before them were rows of black coffins, but compared to the coffins that had contained the mummified corpses before, these coffins were of a much lower quality, appearing to be just ordinary coffins that did not serve to protect the bodies.

Inside the black coffins, corpses lay quietly, mostly bones, many reduced to bone fragments with no flesh or blood remaining.

The corpses displayed here are basically those of the ancient elven royal family, but there are also significant differences among them.

Some bones look ordinary, no different from the bones left after an ordinary person dies, while others are different, with a silvery sheen that makes them look beautiful.

Even among the pile of coffins before him, Adir saw a skeleton, its bones appearing pale silver and pure.

If one were to carefully use their mental power to sense it, Adir could even feel a very faint aura of bloodline authority emanating from the remains, causing the blood in his body to circulate faster.

The remains before us actually reveal the differences in bloodlines during their lifetimes. Although they are all descendants of the Moon Elves, some of them have very diluted bloodlines. Just like Adir, even with magnified observation using a crystal chip, the bloodline chain of the ancient Moon Elves within him cannot be found.

Some corpses had powerful bloodlines in life, belonging to the orthodox elven royal family, and the unusual phenomena on their corpses would be more obvious after death.

"This corpse..." Fred's deep voice echoed from the side.

He stood beside Adir, looking at the skeleton that emitted a pale silver glow, his expression very solemn: "This kind of terrifying bloodline, this corpse was probably a true member of royalty in life, or even a princess or prince."

"Perhaps."

Listening to Fred's words, Jimur chimed in, "The body was supposedly found in some small ruin, and there was a dagger next to it when it was discovered."

"According to the official wizard who discovered the remains at the time, the body was probably not very old, and it was very likely that the person was killed with that dagger."

"What a pity." Looking at the corpse before him, Fred said with some regret, "Such fine material is not something you can come across often. If Adir hadn't been here today, I would definitely have bought this corpse and kept it as a treasure."

There will be opportunities in the future.

Jimur replied, then looked at Adir.

Under his watchful gaze, Adir did not hesitate at all and directly bought the several skeletons he had his eye on.

These corpses, now reduced to mere skeletons with no flesh or blood remaining, were far less valuable than the previous five. Adir bought the skeletons he had chosen for just one magic crystal.

After doing all this, Adir turned and left with Fred.

Of course, he couldn't carry away the bodies he bought himself. In the following days, Jimur would have them delivered to Adir's residence, so Adir didn't need to worry about it.

You seem to be in a good mood.

On the way back, sitting in the spacious carriage, looking at Adir, Fred smiled.

"Perhaps it's because they've secured the experimental materials."

Hearing Fred's words, Adir did not deny anything and said sincerely, "To be honest, I have been troubled by this experiment for a long time because of the experimental materials."

These are indeed Adir's true feelings.

The thinness of the moon elf bloodline within him had always been the biggest obstacle hindering Adir's progress. Despite possessing an advanced meditation technique and having excellent soul aptitude, his progress was slowed by the limitations of his bloodline. This feeling was naturally very unpleasant.

However, whether in the northern plains or in the Maison region, the elven royals who truly possess the bloodline of the ancient moon elves are extremely rare. With Adir's strength, hunting down those elven royals would be almost tantamount to suicide.

But once you enter the world of jade, everything changes dramatically.

The elves have been completely wiped out, so the corpses of those elven royals can be bought with magic stones, so there's no need to worry about experimental materials.

With an important problem solved, Adir was naturally pleased.

After chatting with Fred in the carriage for a while, and as dusk fell outside, Adir arrived at a vast manor.

This is Adir's residence in the Kingdom of Gaura.

Several days ago, after Adir agreed to become the guardian wizard of the Kingdom of Goro, the king of Goro bestowed this manor upon him, along with the hundreds of servants inside, and handed it over directly to Adir.

Along with the manor came a viscount's title and a fiefdom outside the city.

Back in the manor, Adir strode inside and arrived at a spacious laboratory.

In a corner of the laboratory, an ice coffin sat quietly. Inside, a beautiful elven girl, with exquisite features like Sleeping Beauty, lay peacefully, looking incredibly lovely.

Looking at the corpse that seemed to still be alive, Adir's eyes burned as he stared intently at the girl, as if he had seen some rare treasure.

"Unfortunately, this laboratory is too rudimentary and needs to be modified before experiments can begin."

After staring at the girl's corpse lying before him for a long time, Adir withdrew his gaze and said with some regret.
