Wizard Immortal

Chapter 276 Bloodline Trial

As dawn slowly rises, faint sunlight streaks across the sky in the distance, casting a shimmering hue over the earth.

Beyond a tall white tower, a magnificent carriage was slowly making its way down the road. Driving the carriage was a spirited and dashing female elf, none other than Balana, who had come to the Maison region with Adir earlier.

As they drove to the pavilion, a young man stepped out of the carriage, dressed in a white robe; it was none other than Adir.

At this moment, looking at the pavilion in front of him, he walked forward without hesitation.

Along the way, the servants and guards around him seemed to have already received orders. Upon seeing Adir's arrival, they all respectfully carried his luggage, and none of them dared to block Adir's path.

He walked and stopped for a while, and then he arrived at a large hall. There was already someone waiting in the hall.

It was an elderly elf with a kind and aged face, dressed in a white robe, holding a wooden staff in his hand, sitting quietly and looking at a map in front of him.

"Mr. Adir, you've arrived."

Noticing Adir's arrival, Faral turned around and looked behind him: "Would you like to have breakfast with me?"

"Then we won't need to."

Adir shook his head, then said, "High Priest Faral summoned me here specifically for this matter, is there something you need?"

"There are a few things I really need to discuss with you."

Seeing that Adir had brought up the question, Faral's expression became slightly more serious: "After all, you and I are actually the two strongest wizards in Morningwind City."

He looked at Adir in front of him and said, "The first thing is the increasing number of magical beasts around Morningwind City."

"Warcraft?"

Hearing this somewhat unfamiliar yet familiar word, Adir seemed a little puzzled.

"The so-called magical beasts are what human wizards outside the world often call corrupted beasts, as well as some demonized life forms from underground."

Standing in front of Adir, and looking at the expression on Adir's face, Faral explained, "These things have been increasing recently, not only in the Silvermist Forest, but also in the territories of humans outside, and even orcs."

"Recently, more and more magical beasts have appeared in the wilderness of Morningwind City. It is said that a priest once witnessed the appearance of a subterranean life form of formal wizard level, lurking in the forests outside Morningwind City."

"So?" Adir asked in return, listening to the other party's words.

"I hope Mr. Adir can keep an eye out for me."

Looking at Adir, Faral laughed and said, "Subterranean creatures are often very dangerous. The subterranean life that can infiltrate the surface now is probably at least as strong as a knight."

"Of course, in return, Mr. Adir, you can come to me for a reward every time you kill an underground creature. I'm sure you won't be disappointed with my collection."

Hearing this, Adir nodded without hesitation: "No problem."

The so-called underground creatures refer to some life forms that escaped from the Wizarding Continent to live in the underground world in ancient times.

In ancient times, the surface world and the underworld of the wizarding world were connected. Therefore, during that period, for various reasons, many surface creatures fled from the surface world to the underworld.

The origins of these creatures that escaped from the surface world to the underground world are complex. They include slaves plundered from other worlds by ancient wizards, as well as some wizards who were being hunted down and other creatures.

After arriving in the underground world, due to its unique and treacherous environment, these originally normal creatures began to be assimilated by the atmosphere of the underground world as they reproduced generation after generation, and their life forms began to change, turning them into true underground creatures.

Having lived in the underground world for a long time and been influenced by its atmosphere, these underground creatures are generally cruel and bloodthirsty, posing a considerable problem for life on the surface.

"As for the other thing, it's an opportunity."

Standing there, looking at Adir, Faral smiled and said, "In a while, the Bloodline Trial will begin. The Royal Court will hold the trial in the capital, and all those who have been nominated can go."

"Bloodline Trial?" Adir asked, puzzled by the unfamiliar term.

"This is a grand event that the royal court holds every few years. It was originally supposed to be held every three years, but it was changed to this year because the number of magical beasts has been increasing recently and a magical disaster could break out at any time."

"In the royal court, there is a Moon King Sword left behind by an ancient king, which bears the bloodline mark of the former Moon Elf King."

Standing still, Faral explained, "In legend, whoever can wield this King's Sword is qualified to inherit the glory and legacy of the ancient Moon Elf King. This bloodline trial is centered around this King's Sword."

"Is this bloodline trial going to force everyone to pull out this King's Sword?"

Listening to Faral's words and recalling some legends from the first life, Adir made an interesting guess.

"Of course not."

Faral shook his head: "No one can withstand the bloodline majesty carried by the King's Sword. Ordinary nobles can't even get close to it, let alone draw it."

"This bloodline trial process allows the trial participants to feel the bloodline of ancient kings as much as possible and withstand the pressure of the king's sword, so that their own bloodline can become purer."

He looked at Adir and said, "In fact, according to historical records, if the trial participants have noble enough blood, they can even obtain a portion of the legacy left by the Moon Elf King from the King's Sword."

"So, what do you mean?" Adir asked, a thought striking him as he listened to Faral's words.

"I would like to invite you to participate in the Bloodline Trial."

Looking at Adir before him, Faral laughed and said, "Although you are a half-elf and your mother was just an ordinary noble, your bloodline is extremely powerful."

"This situation is often caused by a reversion to one's ancestral bloodline. With your talent and bloodline, you might gain quite a lot if you could participate in the bloodline trial."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, even if I don't invite you, you can still participate if you want to."

"There are no restrictions on participating in the Bloodline Trial. As long as you can afford the magic stones used for registration, you can participate directly."

"However, if one does not possess a powerful bloodline, even if one participates in the trial, one may not necessarily gain much."

"Indeed." Hearing his words, Adir nodded slightly without saying anything more.
