Wizard Immortal

Chapter 300 Corpse

The crisp sound of horses' hooves echoed all around.

On a flat lawn, Adir sat quietly in a carriage, casually urging the horses beneath him to move forward.

Inside the carriage behind them, Aso and Bora, the two wounded, sat quietly, enduring the bumpy ride without uttering a word.

Some time had passed since that conversation.

During this time, guided by Pola and the other person, Adir passed through several towns and even bought a carriage in one of them, which greatly increased his speed.

The civilization in this world looks very primitive, far inferior to the Maison region where Adir once lived. Not only are many things scarce, but even intact roads are hard to find.

After driving his carriage for several days, Adir finally arrived at a city.

It was an ancient and vast city, at least in the eyes of Aso and Bora.

In Adir's view, although the city had a strange style, its size and layout were just so-so and not worth mentioning.

Slowly, he drove the carriage into the city, eventually being stopped at the city gate.

At the city gate, squads of soldiers dressed in simple cloth armor were walking around, their faces serious as they carefully patrolled the surroundings.

Adir and his group were unsurprisingly stopped and questioned by the soldiers.

"Karl, it's us." Pora's voice rang out from inside the carriage. She sounded a little weak, but much better than before.

Sensing the unusual activity outside, he keenly sensed what had happened, so he decisively stepped out of the carriage and happened to see the person who was patrolling at that moment.

He was a middle-aged man wearing black iron armor, his muscles powerful, making him stand out among a group of ordinary soldiers wearing simple cloth armor.

During the chip's inspection, the person in front of him was also a knight apprentice who had undergone training in the knight's breathing technique.

Hearing the sound, the middle-aged man in armor looked up and saw Bora and Aso stepping out of the carriage.

His expression instantly shifted from serious to surprised: "Pora, what are you doing here?"

"It was indeed us."

In the carriage, looking at the middle-aged man in front of her, Pola had a helpless expression on her face: "After taking Aso out, we encountered some trouble and almost didn't make it back."

"People in the city say you've disappeared, but no one from the Ellan family has spoken up to say anything."

Karl nodded, then looked at Adir, who was distinguished by his appearance and had a sword at his waist, and who looked like a nobleman. After weighing his options, he finally said, "Since it's you, then let's skip the inspection this time and go straight in."

"Thank you." Pora nodded in gratitude, then looked curiously at the soldiers pacing around her. "What's going on here? Why are they suddenly checking everyone so strictly?"

"Several murders have occurred in the city, in the aristocratic district."

Looking at Pora in front of him, Karl hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Several distinguished officials suddenly died in their homes, which alarmed the city lord and led to this situation."

"Alright, let's go in."

He spoke last, then nodded to Pora in front of him, and walked away on his own.

After he left, Adir glanced at the man casually, then continued driving the carriage forward without expression.

After turning at several intersections and traveling a long distance, they finally arrived at a wide avenue.

Compared to the places Adir had been before, this place not only had complete roads, but was also much cleaner, with no beggars around and everything kept spotless.

"We've arrived."

Upon arriving at the carriage, Pola spoke, gesturing for Adir to stop.

Before them lay a vast manor, and several men, dressed in simple leather armor, stood guard at its gate.

"stop."

Seeing Adir and his group approaching, the guards immediately perked up, but listlessly looked at them and said, "This is the territory of the Ellan family; outsiders are not allowed to enter!"

They had just finished speaking when they looked up and were immediately taken aback: "Lord Pola..."

"Open the door for me."

Standing before the guards, Pora spoke to them expressionlessly.

"this···"

The guards exchanged glances, looking somewhat hesitant, but ultimately obediently opened the door to let Adir and his companions in.

As they entered the manor, an unusual atmosphere enveloped them, causing Pola and Aso to look puzzled: "Why is it so quiet?"

Paula looked puzzled and confused: "Normally at this time, there should be people everywhere around, so why is there not a sound today?"

"Also, why is everything here covered in red?" Aso, who was standing nearby, asked in confusion as he looked around.

Hearing their voices, Adir raised his head and looked into the distance.

A dozen meters away, there were large buildings and saplings, all covered with red cloth, making the place look somewhat eerie.

Unlike Adir's previous life, in this world, hanging red everywhere is not a sign of celebration.

The red color here refers to blood and life. In the memories of Bora and Aso, it was usually only worn when a member of the family died.

The manor before us is now draped with red cloths everywhere. This level of decoration is only reserved for the deaths of certain people of extremely high status within the entire Ellan family.

Inside the manor, red cloths hung silently everywhere, fluttering gently in the wind. Combined with the eerily quiet surroundings, this created a sudden sense of dread.

Watching this scene quietly, Adir frowned slightly, sensing something unusual.

It was a unique smell, which Adir perceived as a very faint smell of blood.

They exchanged a glance and walked ahead, Aso and Bora continuing forward along the familiar path.

The further they went, the more horrified they became.

Walking along the paths of the manor, buildings flashed by, all of them draped in red cloth.

Red cloth fluttered all around, accompanied by the sound of the wind, making the atmosphere in the area somewhat oppressive.

Seeing this scene, the three of them remained silent and walked forward quietly until they arrived at the largest building.

It was a very large building, entirely black, with the central door wide open, revealing a red interior.

As Adir walked this far, the stench of blood grew stronger, carrying with it the mournful wail of the dead, lingering there for a long time.

"Shall we go in?"

His expression remained unchanged as he quietly looked at the two people in front of him, including Pora, and asked them a question.

"Let's go in." After hesitating for a moment and looking at the building in front of her, Pora finally nodded and took the lead in walking forward.

Soon after, they entered the building and arrived at a large hall.

The hall was now filled with red, with red cloths hanging all over the surrounding walls, and red coffins lying quietly, each bearing a name.

The red coffin was not completely closed, only half of it was covered, so Adir and the others could see what was lying inside.

Those were corpses, their faces deathly pale, devoid of any color, except for the color on their faces, which looked like they had been heavily made up.

"This is···"

Seeing this scene, Bora and Aso were completely stunned. Looking at the coffins scattered all over the ground, they were at a loss.

"Amo, Aris..."

As they silently watched the rows of red coffins, reading aloud the names written on them, Pola and her companion grew paler with each name uttered.

Finally, they even saw a coffin in the center, inside which lay a young man who looked quite handsome, but whose face was very pale, which made them feel a little cold.

This is the young master of the Erlan family, the one that Pola and the other originally wanted Adir to treat. Unexpectedly, he is now lying here, and he looks completely dead.

"That's... Baral and the others." In a corner, Pola even recognized some acquaintances.

These were people he didn't get along with normally. He had even suspected that their accident was caused by them.

Before his return, he had even prepared to confront his opponents head-on, and for this purpose, he made a special effort to bring Adir over.

Before they could even retaliate, their opponent was already lying there, a cold, lifeless corpse, clearly dead.

Seeing someone they had always been at odds with die should have made Pola and Aso happy, but faced with such a bizarre scene, they couldn't feel happy at all. Instead, they felt a sense of sorrow, like the saying "a rabbit mourns the death of a fox."

"More than fifty corpses in total..."

They exchanged a glance, and the two counted around them, finally arriving at a conclusion that startled even themselves.

Why did so many people die?

Paula stared blankly around, feeling both fear and disbelief.

More than fifty people is not a small number, especially since the two of them carefully confirmed that every one of these corpses was a member of the Ellan family.

This is undoubtedly even more terrifying, considering that the entire Ellan family has no more than a hundred true members, and more than half of them are lying here.

"What happened here while we were gone?" Pora murmured to herself, looking at the scene before her, her expression puzzled and bewildered.

"The inside of the corpse has been hollowed out..." Adir observed quietly from the side.

Compared to the two people beside him, he appeared very calm, showing no fear or abnormality even when he suddenly saw so many corpses.

This is normal. As a second-level wizard, Adir has seen far more disgusting and terrifying scenes in his wizarding career. Sometimes, some formal wizards have to kill thousands of people in order to make certain potions and materials, and the ways of torturing people are countless.

After experiencing many of these things, anyone who can advance to become a formal wizard will not care about the current situation.

Looking around, Adir's attention was mostly focused on the corpses.

Unlike Bora and Adir, who were still mortals, Adir, as a wizard with a chip, could easily sense the abnormalities of these corpses.

Among the corpses laid out before me, almost all of their hearts had been removed, and some even showed signs of having their blood drained.

A strong stench of blood assaulted his nostrils. Sensing this, Adir silently walked toward the center of the hall, standing before the red coffin in the center.

Inside the coffin in front of him, a handsome young man lay quietly, looking very peaceful, as if he were asleep, but his face was extremely pale.

This is the young master of the Erlan family, the only child of the Erlan family patriarch, and the person Adir originally intended to get in touch with.

When Adir first arrived in this world, he originally planned to heal the child, then connect with the extraordinary circles of this world through this family, and then try to obtain the knight's breathing technique of this world.

However, plans can't keep up with changes. Everything went smoothly until we arrived at our destination, only to find that our goal had been ruined.

This feeling made him very unhappy, as if all the time he had spent before had been wasted.

Several thoughts raced through his mind as he gazed silently at the boy's corpse before him, and Adir sighed softly.

The boy in front of me looked peaceful, but according to the chip's detection, he was the one in the worst condition here.

Other corpses only had their hearts removed, or at most some blood drained, but this boy was different.

Standing beside the corpse, Adir was able to sense its exact condition through his powerful mental energy.

The corpse's internal organs were almost completely gone, and all the blood in its body had been drained away.

The reason the corpse hadn't turned into a dried-up corpse was entirely because its body was filled with something else, which replaced and supported the corpse's outline, preventing it from becoming a dried-up corpse.

Among the corpses around them, Adir was somewhat surprised to see such a horrific scene.

After all, according to common sense, as the sole heir to the clan chief, this young man should have been well protected. It was already surprising that he was killed, not to mention that his death was the most gruesome.

This unusual situation made Adir somewhat sensitive, and he began to think of something.

"Let me see how you die."

Several thoughts raced through his mind. Looking at the corpse half-hidden by the coffin, Adir remained calm and finally extended his hand.
