Wizard Immortal

Chapter 302 Seeds of Pollution

"What did you figure out...?"

Before the silent hall, listening to Dirus's words, Adir smiled: "Of course I've figured out how these people died and the cause of their deaths."

As he spoke, he walked straight to the center of the hall and, under the gaze of the others, went to the side of the coffin in the center.

"All the corpses here have one thing in common: their hearts have all been removed."

Standing before the coffin, looking at the cold, pale corpse before him, Adir spoke.

Upon hearing his words, the expressions of Dirus and the others changed slightly, and their gazes toward Adir became much more serious.

Before he could say anything, Adir's voice rang out again in front of him.

"Especially the body in the center, if I'm not mistaken, it should be this gentleman's child."

Adir turned to look at Dirus: "This corpse is the most gruesome. All the internal organs have been removed, and all the blood has been drained from its body, leaving only dried flesh and blood."

"Moreover, all the corpses here have one thing in common: they all belong to people who possessed knightly qualities and had a life seed within them."

He looked up at Dirus in front of him: "I just don't know... if I'm right?"

After he finished speaking, there was no echo, only a deathly silence.

Upon hearing Adir's words, Dirus and Karam fell silent, not uttering a sound.

As for Bora and Aso, who were standing to the side, they dared not make a sound while watching the conversation, for fear of disturbing Adir and the others.

Snap... Snap... Snap...

A round of applause rang out from the spot.

Standing before Adir, Dirus clapped his hands and looked at Adir, a smile finally appearing on his face: "Not bad analysis. To be able to see so much in such a short time is truly impressive."

He looked up at Adir, who was dressed in a white robe and possessed an extraordinary air about him: "You just said you're a physician?"

····················

As evening fell, a wooden door opened, and Adir's voice came out, carrying a medicine box.

"Although it didn't go as planned, the final goal was still successfully achieved."

Walking down the street, carrying a medicine box, Adir was thinking quietly.

He had just treated Dirus in the room and was only just leaving when he came out.

There was something very strange about the other person, like some kind of extremely stubborn and malignant toxin, which had taken root in the other person and was constantly draining their life force.

The other party's condition was actually very serious. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be dead by now. However, as a powerful being who surpassed the Great Knight, the other party's vitality was indeed tenacious, and they managed to hold on until this moment and still did not die.

However, even if he managed to hold on and not die, this was his limit. If it weren't for Adir, he would have only been able to endure for a few more months before his body underwent a transformation, eventually succumbing to his illness and dying.

"However... this highly polluting power is really tenacious."

Adir raised his hand slightly, looking at his fingertips, his expression somewhat solemn.

On his fingers, faint black marks were spreading, and a highly corrupting force was rapidly eroding his flesh and blood, but it was resisted by the power contained within Adir's flesh and blood and slowly worn away.

"It was only a short period of contact, and the pathogen didn't directly invade the body, yet it had such terrifying consequences." Looking at the faint black spot on his fingertip, Adir's expression turned solemn as he murmured to himself.

It's important to know that as a level two wizard and a pure-blooded moon elf, Adir's physical resistance is far superior to that of others.

As a level four creature, the resistance of the ancient moon elves to certain things is unimaginable and absolutely terrifying. Even in their infancy, they are definitely not something that ordinary pollutants can infect.

The fact that this thing in front of us can infect even Adir now shows just how terrifying its contamination is.

Fortunately, this treatment wasn't entirely fruitless.

Walking along the road, Adir silently wondered, "How's the chip and breathing technique simulation progressing?"

"Delus Breathing Technique... Current simulation progress 17.4%, remaining simulation time unknown..." The chip's mechanical notification sounded in his mind.

"We've already deduced almost one-fifth of it. After a few more observations, we should be able to deduce most of it."

Looking at the progress displayed on the chip, Adir muttered to himself.

Taking such a big risk to treat the other person is certainly not free.

After treating the other party, the other party agreed to let Adir enter the Erlan family's collection room to read books, and even presented the Knight Breathing Technique that Pola and the other party had promised.

Adir had already read the Knight's Breathing Technique once, and was utterly speechless in the end.

That was a basic breathing technique used to build a foundation during the knight's apprenticeship stage. Although many of its concepts were quite good, in terms of actual effectiveness, it was not even as good as the Dil Breathing Technique that Adir had once deduced.

At least that Diel Breathing Technique was something that Adir had painstakingly researched and perfected by searching for various different knight breathing techniques and then using the chip to continuously refine and perfect it.

Over nearly a decade, hundreds of different breathing techniques served as the basis for deductive reasoning. In terms of its level of perfection, it is probably hard to find many comparable materials throughout the entire wizarding world.

Compared to this meticulously crafted Di'er Breathing Method, the breathing method provided by the other party, while not bad in some aspects, is certainly far inferior in terms of actual effectiveness.

After all, even if the main body of this world is knights, what the other party gave was only a low-level breathing technique, which naturally could not compare with the Diel Breathing Technique derived by the chip.

Compared to this rudimentary breathing technique, Adir's real gain came from the process of healing the other person.

Just as injuries leave scars, the daily training of a knight also leaves subtle marks on a person's body. Over time, these marks accumulate and become a unique imprint.

This kind of imprint is undetectable under normal circumstances, but it can be clearly seen by chips with extremely strong computing power and the ability to magnify vision tens of millions of times.

During the treatment, Adir also activated the chip when he was in close contact with the other person's body. By deducing from the subtle traces left by the other person's usual training, he obtained the Knight Breathing Technique that the other person mainly practiced.

Without a doubt, as a powerful figure surpassing even the Great Knights, the opponent's primary breathing technique must be extremely powerful, far exceeding the ordinary breathing technique that the opponent casually provided.

That is indeed the case.

Although the deduction was not yet complete, this little bit of content, less than one-fifth of the whole thing, had already greatly inspired Adir, and even made the already very perfect Adir Breathing Method even more advanced and perfect.

As he walked down the street, Adir had a vague premonition.

After passing through this world, the previously idle Di'er Breathing Technique may undergo a tremendous leap forward.

"Lord Dirus, how are you feeling?"

An aged voice echoed in the spacious and luxurious room.

Kalam, dressed in a black robe, carefully removed the blood-stained cloth from Dirus's body and then asked.

On the bed in front of him, Dirus lay on the bed, his clothes covered in black and red blood, looking horrifying.

However, compared to before, the weakness that had been plaguing him seemed to have lessened, and he lay quietly on the bed with his eyes closed.

"It's much better now."

Hearing Kalam's voice, Dirus quietly opened his eyes, spoke with some panting, and then struggled to get up.

He frowned as he looked at his clothes, which were stained black and red with blood, then ripped them off, revealing his strong and muscular body.

Without the clothes to cover him, Kalam could clearly see that a large, faint black mark covered Dirus's body, seemingly enveloping his entire body, carrying an ominous meaning.

"It has indeed been suppressed."

After carefully observing Dirus's dark skin, Kalam finally breathed a sigh of relief, his worries easing slightly: "It seems we've found the right person this time."

"This doctor's medical skills are very good."

Hearing Kalam's words, Dirus nodded in agreement: "I was just trying it out casually, but I didn't expect the other party's medical skills to be so good. They were even able to suppress the toxins of the Seed of Pollution."

"Unfortunately, it still can't be cured completely," Karam said with some regret. "If it could be cured completely, things would be much easier..."

"It's not that easy." Dirus shook his head. "The toxins of the Seed of Corruption are not so easy to cure. I'm already lucky that I can suppress them and hold on for a little longer."

"Sigh, if only that hadn't happened..." Karam sighed.

"That's impossible." Dirus laughed nonchalantly. "There are no 'what ifs' in this world. Since it has already happened, we can only face it bravely. That's what we knights should do."

"You'll need to keep a close eye on things during this time."

He raised an eyebrow at Kalam as he spoke: "That doctor is quite skilled, but he's an outsider after all. Remember to take care of things in the clan during this time, and don't reveal anything that he shouldn't see."

"I understand." Kalam nodded in agreement.

"It's good that you understand."

Dirus walked to the wall behind him, took a white robe from it and put it on, then said, "Enough has happened around us lately, and the family has suffered enough losses. I don't want any more accidents to happen unless absolutely necessary."

"That doctor is quite strong. You probably sensed that before. Without my intervention, there probably wouldn't be many people in the entire family who could deal with him."

"Such a powerful genius, who also possesses excellent medical skills, must have an extraordinary background. If he causes any trouble, it will be a real problem."

"I understand." Hearing what Dirus said, Kalam finally nodded and said.

······················

"It should be here."

The next morning, led by his attendant, Adir entered a spacious hall.

Inside the hall, bookshelves were arranged, filled with many paper books, all of which looked very well-maintained and as good as new.

If you approach these bookshelves, you can smell a faint fragrance, and feel a sense of historical depth and weight.

This is the library of the Erlan family, which houses all the books collected by the Erlan family over hundreds of years. The total number of books in it is enough to fill a small library, and the vast majority of them are rare books.

After all, as one of the most powerful knight families in the area, the Ellan family naturally has high standards. They wouldn't carefully collect books that aren't precious, and they even spend a lot of manpower and resources every year to maintain them.

Upon arriving here, Adir's eyes lit up at the sight of the enormous bookshelves before him, and he quickly walked forward.

Upon entering this small library, his first choice was naturally to seek out knowledge about extraordinary powers, that is, about knights.

After spending half an hour browsing the surrounding bookshelves, Adir finally returned to his original spot.

"As expected, although there is information about knights, there is not a single knight breathing technique that can actually be learned; they have all been stored away separately."

After looking around for a while, Adir finally said helplessly, his words tinged with resignation.

However, this was within his expectations.

As the foundation of a family, the Knight Breathing Technique is enough to establish a knight family, so naturally it cannot be easily displayed to outsiders.

Adir was only able to obtain a breathing technique from the other party because Pola and the other party had agreed beforehand, and Adir had successfully contained the other party's illness.

However, despite this, Adir was not particularly depressed.

"Although there isn't a specific breathing technique, having the knight information for this world is enough." Adir thought to himself, raising his head slightly and looking at the bookshelves scattered across the floor.

For Adir now, the advanced breathing techniques of this world are indeed important, but information about the knights of this world is equally important.

Although they had searched through the memories of Bora and her companion, the search method was too crude and could not possibly capture all of a person's memories. It could only find some memorable scenes.

Furthermore, Pola and his companion were not particularly strong, and they weren't even knights, so they knew very little and naturally couldn't obtain much information.

With the books in the Ellan family's collection, Adir could quickly understand the situation of this world and roughly grasp the strength of the knights in this world, thus clarifying his own position in order to take action next.
