Wizard Immortal

Chapter 296, Chapter 295: Overdoing it

Inside the narrow cave, a pale blue light was slowly spreading, and a scene gradually emerged.

In a dark passage, endless rows of subterranean creatures were lined up. Although none of them had a strong aura, their numbers were simply too great. There were thousands of them just in front of us.

Seeing the astonishing scene before him, Child did not act rashly, but instead carefully lay in wait, quietly observing the actions of the underground creatures.

In their observation, the subterranean creatures kept rushing towards the entrances, and then an astonishing scene unfolded.

Hundreds of subterranean creatures rushed toward a certain entrance, but were ultimately repelled and suppressed by some force, turning into clouds of blood mist, their bodies exploding into pieces of flesh.

Among the hundreds of subterranean creatures, only a dozen or so possessed the strength and luck to rush to the entrance to the surface world the instant the sealing power weakened.

These scenes were clearly revealed. Child and the others continued to lurk there until several subterranean creatures exuding powerful auras approached and keenly spotted them. They then stopped, fought their way back, and presented the recorded footage to Adir.

"That's terrifying..."

The scene that had appeared before him ended. Looking at the recorded scene, Adir couldn't help but sigh, shocked by the madness and profound depth of the underground world.

"Just to allow a few people to enter the surface world, they're consuming so many lives. These subterranean creatures are truly insane," Faral sighed, his expression somewhat grave.

At this stage, every subterranean creature that attempts to break through the seal is undoubtedly close to being a knight. Even among the elves, they would be considered elves, deserving of sufficient respect and status.

But in the underground world, these knight-level creatures were consumed alive, just so that about one-tenth of the underground creatures could enter the surface world.

This madness shocked not only Faral and the others, but even Adir.

"The underground world is different from the world above ground." A hoarse voice rang in my ears.

After putting away the blue crystal ball, Child's aura returned to normal, and he said, "Unlike the Maison region, in the underground world, those ancient bloodlines still exist. Many races that were driven out by ancient wizards during the glorious era are still thriving in the underground world. Although the environment there is harsh, there are quite a few knights."

"Just like the Black Beast clan before, once they reached adulthood, they could rival knights, which is nothing compared to the current Maison region."

Hearing his words, the people around him remained silent, only nodding quietly.

Standing there, looking at the scene that had been displayed, Adir felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

As the successor to the High Priest and the son-in-law of King Cast, he was all too aware of the current state of the Elven race.

Once the seal between the surface world and the underground world is completely broken, the underground creatures will launch a massive attack. With the current strength of the Silver Mist Forest, it is unlikely that they will be able to stop them.

At that time, the only thing the entire elven race could rely on was the third-level wizard Kuraldo and the protective magic array that even the Elf King possessed.

"Now that I think about it, Gloria probably prepared for this back then, which is why she didn't hesitate to launch a full-scale attack on the Emerald Hand to get her hands on that Worldstone." Standing there, Adir had this thought in his mind.

When he was with the Black Wizard Alliance, as Gloria's personal apothecary, he could clearly sense the Black Wizard Alliance's mobilization, as if they were defending against something.

Looking back now, the reason Gloria attacked the Emerald Hand was probably to seize the Worldstone and use it to set up a large-scale defensive magic array.

As the core material used to establish the Gate of the World, the World Stone contains immense power and is also the best choice for setting up powerful magic arrays.

Back then, in the ancestral lands of the Krasus, the sorcery array that imprisoned the Scourge Lord was built with a Worldstone at its core. Therefore, even after tens of thousands of years, it still exists and can firmly bind a terrifying Scourge Lord, preventing him from breaking free from the ruins.

"I originally planned to take it slow, but now it seems that I have to speed things up."

Standing still, Adir thought to himself.

"Lord Adir, shall we leave?" A voice rang out from behind.

Behind Adir, Faral looked at Adir with a respectful expression and asked for his instructions.

"Let's go back and discuss this further."

Nodding slightly, looking at the people around him, Adir finally nodded and said, then led his men back the way they came.

As he was about to leave the hall, he paused, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the enormous statue behind him.

In the silent hall, a colossal statue of the Mother of Darkness, over ten meters tall, stood there. Though beautiful, it wore an eerie smile.

Her eyes were incredibly expressive, with a soft, shimmering light emanating from her dark pupils, as if she were looking at Adir.

"Once we get back, we'll find someone to get rid of this statue."

Adir glanced at the distant statue, feeling a chill rise in his heart, frowned, and then gave an order to Faral beside him.

"Yes." Faral nodded in response without the slightest hesitation.

They continued walking out and soon reached the small campsite outside.

There, they finished their lunch. Afterwards, Adir and Faral led their men back to Morrowind, while Child stayed behind to guard the area. In addition to arranging for the bodies and statues in the cave to be disposed of, he also prevented any underground creatures from appearing in the cave.

Upon returning to Morningwind City, Adir immediately used the items that Kuraldo had left him to contact the other party and then told them what had happened there.

"I see."

In the spacious hall, Kuraldo's image appeared, looking at Adir with a somewhat solemn expression: "There's no record of it at all. This entrance is most likely a newly appeared one, which is why we completely overlooked it."

"However, this explains the recent chaos in Morningwind City. A large number of underground wizards must have entered through this newly appeared passage, which caused the chaos there."

He murmured to himself before looking up at Adir: "You don't need to go anywhere else for now. Stay in Morningwind City and maintain stability in the surrounding area."

"After a while, I will send people to your place to set up defenses at the newly appeared entrance."

"Yes." Adir nodded, offering no objection.

After a while, the image disappeared. Adir stood up and walked outside.

As soon as the door opened, Andra appeared there, with Lilith beside her.

Looking at these people, Adir subconsciously raised an eyebrow before asking, "Has something happened in the city again?"

"Yes."

Seeing Adir's subconscious reaction, Andra and Lilith exchanged wry smiles. Then Lilith stepped forward and respectfully addressed Adir, saying, "The successor of High Priest Faral has sent word that several ghouls seem to have appeared in the tombs in the east of the city. They are currently lurking in that area and cannot be found. We hope that you, Lord Adir, can take action."

"Again?"

Adir touched his forehead; he had a headache.

This kind of thing happened frequently during this period.

While the subterranean creatures that can infiltrate the surface world may not be strong in general, they are all masters of stealth, especially certain races with special talents in stealth, which can leave even a metamorphosis-stage wizard like Faral somewhat helpless.

This situation changed after Adir arrived. The moon elves had extremely keen senses, and with the solidification of the Natural Sensing spell, Adir's senses had become terrifying. The subterranean creatures could not hide from him at all.

Therefore, during this period, whenever Faral and the others encountered a hidden opponent, they would directly ask Adir to take action and let him resolve these troubles.

Once or twice was fine, but after ten or eight times, even Adir, with his personality, felt a bit irritated and was extremely annoyed by the subterranean creatures that appeared around him.

"Have someone take me there." Taking a deep breath, Adir finally spoke, his expression calm.

Upon hearing this, a fully armored elven knight bowed respectfully to Adir, saying, "Please come with me, my lord."

"Oh, right."

As they walked, Adir suddenly stopped, then turned to look at Andra behind him: "If it's not necessary, it would be best to move your people to the capital."

After saying this, before Andra and Lilith behind him could react, Adir stopped talking and walked forward with the knight in front of him.

Behind them, Andra and Lilith were taken aback at first, then their faces turned ashen, as if they had realized something.

Time flies by in the midst of our busy lives.

Kuraldo acted swiftly; just over half a month later, the wizards who had set out from the capital had arrived in Morningwind City. Under the leadership of High Priest Child, they began to fortify the newly discovered entrance, establishing strongholds and magical arrays around it to prepare for any potential future impacts.

During this time, thanks to Adir's efforts in suppressing the subterranean creatures around Morningwind City, they have become extinct.

No one could escape Adir's senses. Even wizards in the metamorphosis stage had no power to resist Adir, who was now a level two wizard. During this time, one of them was killed by Adir, which made the surrounding underground creatures dare not show their faces.

As for Andrew, whom Adir had been wary of, he never appeared. After the day of the bloodline trial, he seemed to have disappeared without a trace, and no news of him could be found at all.

According to Child and others' analysis, the other party is probably still healing their injuries or lying in wait, preparing to make a move once the seal between the two worlds weakens again.

Unable to find anything of value, and with no other option, Adir lost interest in staying in Morningwind City and led his men back to the capital.

······················

In the quiet garden, a petal flutters in the air, accompanied by the fragrance of flowers.

Amidst a sea of ​​flowers, a little girl who looked to be about four or five years old was running around, accompanied by a chubby kitten, and seemed to be having a lot of fun.

She kept running around until she reached a path and came to a swing. Then a smile appeared on her face, and she suddenly called out, "Teacher, Aunt Edith!"

Beside the swing, two figures stood silently, both with outstanding appearances and demeanors; they were Adir and Edith.

"Solana is back."

Looking at the little girl in front of her, Edith, dressed in a white dress, smiled gently and looked at Solana.

She looked at the stains on Solana's body, not minding the dirt, and walked over to pick her up and place her on the swing in front of her.

"Have you finished your classes for today?" A gentle voice sounded from the side.

Looking at the little girl beside him, Adir smiled and asked Solana.

As he spoke, he reached out and gently touched Solana's head.

A surge of pure moon spirit power emanated from him, transforming into pure moonlight that enveloped Solana, relieving her fatigue.

Watching this scene quietly, a hint of envy flashed in Edith's eyes: "In the entire Silver Mist Forest, only you, Adir, would be able to waste the power of the Moon Goddess like this."

As an elven princess, she understood perfectly what Adir was doing.

The pure power of the moon spirit transformed into moonlight, continuously flowing into Solana's body, relieving her fatigue and cleansing her.

The gentle power of the moon spirit can cleanse the body and even nourish one's essence through special means, making one's talents more outstanding and slowly increasing one's affinity with energy particles.

A similar baptism had been experienced by Edith, the most beloved princess of King Cast. However, those were only when a portion of the power was carefully drawn out with the Moon King's sword; not only was the amount small, but she only experienced it a few times during her childhood. It was nothing compared to the treatment Solana received in this matter.

In the elven capital, Adir would baptize Solana every day, exhausting his moon elven power several times in the process.

"Resources are only useful when they are used."

To Edith's complaints, Adir simply smiled and said, "I only have one student, Solana. Who else could I give a baptism to?"

"And she only has this much time left."

Adir patted Solana's head and said softly, "Once she passes away this year, the effects of the Moon Goddess's Baptism will be greatly reduced, so let's pave the way for her as much as possible now."

"You," Edith shook her head, looking at Adir, "you're being far too good to this child. Even your own sister doesn't receive this kind of treatment."

Adir did not reply to these words, but simply smiled.
