Wizard Immortal

Chapter 31 Strange

The immediate situation will soon pass.

Looking at the sword mark more than three meters long beside him, Laman's expression immediately fell.

The arrogant expression on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a respectful smile, as if he were seeing the most distinguished guest.

Seeing the other person's expression, Adir shook his head almost imperceptibly, his face still bearing the same expression, making it impossible to discern his thoughts.

He refused the horse offered to him and instead followed the other man on foot, slowly walking forward.

As the group slowly moved forward, the village gradually came into view, with buildings standing in various places, most of which looked very old and seemed to have been built a long time ago.

"Erri, take this gentleman to that house over there, and have it cleaned thoroughly to his satisfaction!"

Walking at the front, when they reached the center of the village, Raman scolded Raman standing to the side, telling him to take Adir over and settle him properly.

Adir subconsciously looked in the direction he was pointing and saw the tall building over there.

Compared to the other old houses in the surrounding area, this building looks much newer, probably not many years old, and the materials used are obviously much better. It is considered a good place to live in this small village.

Seemingly to curry favor with Adir, the other party not only settled him there, but also sent several people to help clean the room and handle various chores for him.

Over the next few days, Raman made a point of visiting every day, never stopping even though he knew Adir couldn't speak the language.

···········

three days later.

On a flat area, Adir practiced with his sword for a while before stopping and resting to the side.

"The seeds of life are becoming more and more active; it seems we're getting close to that point."

Feeling the active life energy within his body, Adir placed his left hand on his chest and thought to himself.

During this period, thanks to that unknown power, his physical abilities improved greatly, reaching the peak level of a knight and a certain limit.

The transformation of the body also drives the continuous improvement of the life seed, which also reaches a certain limit. It only needs to take one more step to complete the transformation.

"A Grand Knight?" Standing still, Adir muttered to himself, then commanded the chip, "Chip, based on the available data, simulate and deduce the advancement conditions for a Grand Knight!"

"The simulation task is complete!" A mechanical voice echoed in my mind in an instant.

"To advance to Grand Knight, the basic requirement is that all physical attributes reach 5 or higher. Then, through special methods, the body is stimulated to allow the Life Seed to undergo transformation, leading to an improvement in physical attributes!"

"Stimulate the body?" Adir muttered to himself in confusion. "What methods are available to achieve this?"

"Through intense combat, or by using special agents," the chip-mechanical voice sounded again.

Upon hearing this, Adir's mind settled slightly, and he looked at his own physical attributes.

"Name: Adir Fakus. Strength: 5. Agility: 4.9. Constitution: 5."

These are the results of the past few days, and we are very close to meeting the basic requirements for advancement.

"Agility is not up to standard yet, and other attributes are just barely up to standard. It looks like I still need to work on it for a while."

Looking at his attributes, Adir shook his head, picked up his sword, and walked forward.

Compared to his knight counterparts in previous worlds, Adir has a significant advantage in this world.

He didn't need to risk his life fighting on the battlefield to stimulate his body; he could improve simply by hunting mutated monsters. Although the progress was slow, it ensured safety for a considerable time.

He walked much faster than most people could run, and soon he reached the outskirts of the village.

There, several warriors were guarding the area. When they saw Adir arrive, they looked at him with reverence and watched him leave.

"Quickly, go and tell a few people to come over; there will be more corpses to collect soon."

After Adir walked away, looking around, one of the guards said in an excited tone.

One of the men beside him immediately headed towards the village, and soon returned with several other people, who rode horses and followed Adir from a distance.

"Ding! Continuously hunting seventeen knight-level insect beasts will increase all attributes by 0.1!" The voice of the chip machine sounded again in my mind.

Under a large, black tree, Adir stood quietly and kicked the three-meter-tall insect-beast in front of him, sending it flying and crashing into a boulder. The boulder's sharp edges pierced its massive body, and it was clear that it was beyond saving.

"Seventeen more must be killed."

Hearing the voice coming from the chip in his mind, Adir sighed slightly, feeling somewhat helpless.

Although there are many monsters in the wilderness, most of them are weak creatures, and unless you kill thousands of them, you won't get much benefit.

While there are powerful mutated monsters, many of them still pose a danger to him, making it difficult to find suitable prey to hunt.

For the entire morning, Adir only found these few insect beasts in front of him, and then found nothing else.

This progress left him feeling helpless, and he somewhat missed the black crystal core he had obtained back then.

Compared to the hard work of hunting down mutated beasts, those crystal cores are the real prize.

The majority of the attribute increases that Adir has made during this period are thanks to that crystal core.

Footsteps gradually approached from behind, and several figures on horseback were hurrying towards them.

They came specifically to collect these corpses. The carcasses of these mutated beasts are very precious ingredients, and only a very few people can occasionally eat them.

These people would drag Adir's prey back, and a small portion of the food would be returned to Adir, with the remainder being their reward.

Adir paid no attention to their movements, looking in one direction, preparing to continue searching for his next prey.

After a short rest at noon, Adir hunted three or four more prey throughout the afternoon. Only after dusk did he choose to return to the village.

The nights in this world are far more dangerous than the days, and all sorts of strange things seem to happen, something even Adir is unwilling to get involved with.

When they arrived at the village entrance, Adir paused for a moment.

There, several people lay on the ground, surrounded by a large crowd, their faces looking very pale.

Seeing this, he moved his feet and quickened his pace to walk forward, observing the several figures on the ground.

Those were several corpses. Judging from their attire, they were probably hunters from this village. I wonder what happened to them that led to their current state.

"What happened?"

In the distance, Raman walked from the center of the village, frowned as he looked at the corpses lying on the ground, and asked.

"We don't know yet," a guard replied hastily. "These men didn't return for the past two days, and they were found this morning collapsed in the wooden hut by the river. They were already dead when they were found."

Upon hearing this explanation, the expressions of those around them immediately changed.

In this world, it's not unusual for one or two people to die; many people die almost every now and then.

However, if it is a normal death, the body will never remain intact in the wild, and will be devoured by various monsters within a night.

Thinking of this, Raman's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant, and his outstretched right hand trembled slightly.

He suppressed his fear and led his men forward to examine the corpses. Then, in a trembling voice, he said, "There are no wounds on the corpses."

Upon hearing this, the people around immediately changed color, as if they had seen a plague, and immediately moved away from the corpses in front of them, their eyes filled with indescribable fear.

"Cremate these bodies immediately, and never let anyone go to that wooden hut by the river again!"

Raman's face was ashen, and he forced himself to suppress his fear as he gave orders to those around him.
