Wizard Immortal

Chapter 294 Discovery

At noon, a gentle breeze blew across the fields.

In the bustling city of Morningwind, a manhunt is underway.

boom!!

A huge explosion came from afar, accompanied by screams and terrified cries.

In a corner of the city, High Priest Faral, dressed in a white priestly robe, stood on a flat ground, frowning as he looked at the monster before him.

It was a monster that looked no different from an ordinary elf, except that it was covered in thick scales, its eyes were black, two serpentine veins sprouted from its forehead, and it emanated a powerful force field. That corrupting and aggressive power made even a formal wizard frown.

However, at this moment, the monster looked extremely miserable. Its left arm was gone, half of its body was broken, and only its upper body was still writhing, occasionally emitting low groans that were enough to make people feel terrified.

"Is it resolved?" Adir's voice came from behind.

Standing behind Faral, surrounded by a group of elven guards, Adir, dressed in a solemn black robe, slowly walked out from the corner. He looked at the monster at Faral's feet, said nothing, and simply waved his hand.

Seeing Adir's actions, several elven guards immediately stepped forward, clad in thick priestly robes, and grabbed the black-armored monster at Faral's feet, carefully placing it into an iron cage cart behind them.

"This is the third one discovered this month."

Watching the actions of these elven guards, Andra, standing behind Adir, spoke with a complex expression and a heavy tone.

After Adir and Princess Edith got engaged, the Oris family, as Adir's relatives, also gained a lot of benefits and acquired a lot of territory in Morningwind City.

This time, Adir was ordered to return to Morrowind Town to suppress the underground creatures. Andra, as the patriarch of the Oris family, personally led a group to accompany him, taking care of Adir's food, clothing, and lodging while also guiding him.

"There should only be these three left in the DC area."

Standing to the side, watching the black-armored monster imprisoned in the iron cage, Adir turned to look in a certain direction and said, "However, there are probably more in other areas."

"The DC district has always been a place where nobles live, and several priests live here, so the intrusion of these black beasts is relatively rare."

Faral, standing to the side, chimed in, "However, there are probably more black beasts sneaking into those civilian areas than just this many."

Upon hearing this, the others present nodded silently in agreement.

The so-called Black Beast is a unique life form in the underground world. Like the Mind Eater, it can parasitize other people's bodies. However, compared to the Mind Eater, this creature is much weaker and does not possess the terrifying mental magic of the Mind Eater.

Although this creature is also parasitic, it does not directly take away the host's body.

Under normal circumstances, this life form will secretly lurk in the host's body, taking advantage of the host's quiet presence and even absorbing the host's life force to sustain its own life.

Even a powerful wizard can be overlooked if he doesn't observe carefully.

However, this disguise was naturally ineffective against Adir; within a radius of several dozen meters, he would be discovered in the blink of an eye.

This was the first change Adir discovered after entering Morrowind.

Although there were traces of underground creatures in the original Morningwind City, there had not yet been a large-scale parasitic species.

Within Morningwind City today, Adir could sense the aura permeating the surroundings, a quality shared by all subterranean creatures.

"Let's go, let's go to the next place."

Having resolved the immediate issue, Adir turned and walked towards his carriage.

He had only taken a few steps when he suddenly stopped, then waved his hand, and a burst of light instantly shone from his body, binding a figure in the distance.

It was a middle-aged elf dressed in a flowing robe, who appeared to be a nobleman. He was watching from a distance with his wife and children as Adir and the others subdued the black beast.

The next moment, under the influence of a force field, his entire family was grabbed by Adir and tightly bound to the spot.

"My lord, I..."

Looking at Adir before him, the middle-aged elf seemed to realize something, his face instantly turning pale, just as he was about to say something.

Before he could finish speaking, his skin suddenly turned black, and his eyes changed rapidly, almost instantly transforming him into a completely different person.

"You dare to show your face in front of me?"

Seeing the changes in the middle-aged elf before him, Adir remained calm, but the distorted force field around him shifted again, pressing down fiercely forward.

From the chip's perspective, the body structure of the middle-aged elf quickly appeared. At his heart was a huge red dot, inside which a fist-sized, one-eyed worm was constantly wriggling. At this moment, it seemed to sense some threat and suddenly raised its head.

Before the black beast could unleash its power, a terrifying mental force swept down instantly, affecting its mind.

Before our eyes, the black skin on the middle-aged elf's body quickly faded, returning to its original normal color, and his pure black eyes also returned to normal.

He fell to the ground, his mouth agape.

Under the horrified and fearful gazes of many around him, a fist-sized black worm with a single eye slowly crawled out of his mouth. It was then caught by an elven guard who was prepared and locked in a specially made golden glass bottle.

"Let's go."

Having done all this, Adir nodded and turned to walk towards the carriage.

Looking behind Adir, Faral and the other priests exchanged glances before slowly walking forward, preparing to head to the next stop.

"Lord Adir, new information has arrived."

Several days later, in a large hall, an elven guard pushed open the door and reported to Adir, who was sitting inside.

He delivered a letter before respectfully leaving, without any hesitation or delay.

After opening the letter in his hand and glancing at its contents for a while, Adir's brows immediately furrowed.

"What's wrong?" an old voice asked from the side.

Standing beside Adir, looking at Adir's appearance, Faral asked with some curiosity.

As the high priest originally stationed in Morrowind, Faral often spent time with Adir during this period, providing him with detailed analyses of the various situations in Morrowind. At this moment, he was also with Adir, discussing the problems that had arisen in their surroundings.

"There's been a problem with Child and his team; they seem to have discovered something extraordinary."

Hearing Faral's words, Adir raised his head slightly and looked at him.
