Wizard Immortal

Chapter 38 Adaptation Period

The rain was falling slowly, and outside, a heavy downpour was still spreading, but it was now coming to an end.

"The rain is about to stop!"

Looking at the sky outside, the soldiers guarding the camp raised their heads and shouted.

Soon after the rain gradually stopped, a troop of cavalry emerged from the camp and galloped off in one direction.

Adir, riding a tall white horse, silently followed alongside the knight Fular, saying nothing and simply moving forward.

The group consisted entirely of mounted warriors, who were marching at full speed. Soon, a village came into view in the distance.

It was a small village built next to a forest. At that moment, thick smoke was slowly rising from the village in the distance, as if it were a sign of something.

"Alert! Prepare for battle!"

Seeing the thick smoke rising ahead, Fular's face turned cold, and he drew the sword hanging on his horse and shouted.

For a moment, the sound of swords being drawn rang out continuously, but it was drowned out by the sound of horses' hooves.

They quickly rushed outside the village and saw the scene inside.

Inside the village, a pile of wreckage lay on the ground, with faint flickering flames.

Outside the wreckage, a group of bandits dressed in various costumes were wreaking havoc, and had not yet managed to escape.

On the surface, they were clearly a motley crew. Upon seeing the army gradually advancing in the distance, their first reaction was not to prepare for resistance, but to immediately flee.

They quickly ran into the nearby forest, seemingly very familiar with the terrain.

···········

The battle ended quickly.

In the center of the village, Adir walked into one of the rooms.

Inside the room, Fular stood quietly in front of a wooden table, looking at a map spread out before him, deep in thought.

"Lord Fular, we've almost figured it out."

Adir looked at the tall knight in front of him and said slowly, "The incident happened in this village this morning. According to the survivors, some wandering orcs came and wiped out all the warriors stationed in the village, and then the bandits followed to plunder."

Upon hearing Adir's report, Fular frowned subconsciously: "Is it a coincidence?"

"That should be true." A voice suddenly rang out from the side.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 20 ...

Standing beside Fular, a middle-aged warrior spoke up: "According to the news from the surrounding area, that group of wandering orcs should have just come from Baron Afar's territory. Considering the time and distance, it should match up pretty well."

"Let's find a way to locate where these orcs are stationed." Fular rubbed his forehead, looking somewhat helpless. "Recently, more and more bandits and orcs have been smuggling in from the border, and warriors are in short supply everywhere. We must resolve this situation as soon as possible and move on to the next place to suppress them."

At this point, he seemed to remember something and continued, "Has there been any news from the front lines from Lord Akadira?"

"Yes." The middle-aged soldier nodded. "The battle at the front is almost over. According to the men sent back by Lord Akadira, he will be able to bring his men back in about a month."

"That's good." Fral breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of joy appearing in his eyes: "With his Black Knights around, we won't have to struggle so much."

The Black Knights are one of the strongest armies in the territory of the Earl of Poria. They are personally led by Arcadilla, who is rumored to be the strongest knight in the North, and are specifically responsible for external conquests.

The only force comparable to this army under Count Poria was his personal guard, which was stationed in the castle year-round and personally commanded by Count Poria.

However, the Royal Guard needs to guard the castle year-round, and only Count Poria can personally mobilize them. Therefore, in reality, the Black Knights are one of the main forces in the territory. In this battle, they were transferred to the front line to lead the noble alliance against the orc alliance.

As the commander of the castle guard, Fular could only mobilize a small number of elite troops, making him incomparable to the Black Knights.

Time passed quickly.

As night fell, Adir sat quietly in an open space, silently looking at his physical data.

「姓名:阿帝尔.法库斯。力量：4.2（5.5）。敏捷：4.1（5.4）。体质：4.2（5.7）。」

After several days, under the constant influence of the crystal core, Adir's physical attributes improved significantly once again, and his injuries were rapidly healing under the nourishment of that unknown power.

According to Adir's own estimate, his injuries would be fully healed in about four or five days.

Thinking of this, he stretched out his left hand, opened his clenched palm, revealing a black crystal core inside.

The black crystal core has been almost completely consumed. After several days of continuous absorption, it is now only the size of a grain of rice.

"It's almost used up."

Looking at the rice-grain-sized crystal core in his hand, Adir sighed softly.

Compared to the one he used before, this crystal core brought him significantly less benefit.

This is certainly because it contains much less energy, but it is also because Adir's physical condition has already been improved to another level, and if he wants to improve further, he will need to consume more energy.

Of course, his injuries were also a factor. If it weren't for the need to quickly heal the aftereffects of the Life Seed eruption, Adir's improvement would have been far greater than this.

After standing there for a moment, Adir took out another black crystal core from his waist and held it tightly in his left hand.

The familiar warmth intensified in an instant, continuing to flow into the body.

Adir stood up, picked up the sword beside him, and trained in place for a while, feeling the changes in his body.

During this time, he clearly felt changes in his body; it seemed that a new power was beginning to grow within him, influencing his body.

During the examination of the chip, some new delicate organs were slowly growing in his body, and the life energy in his body was stimulating an increase in life activity, indicating that he was about to enter a new period of transformation.

This is the adaptation process of a knight about to break through to the level of a great knight; the body is slowly adjusting and undergoing a fundamental change in its life essence.

"Chip! Check your body data and analyze the time required for the adaptation period."

After the training ended, Adir stood still and gave an order to the chip in his mind.

In an instant, the chip in his mind responded to him.

Data streams flashed before his eyes, flowing rapidly and continuously, eventually forming a three-dimensional image with his body's organs labeled and detailed data analysis displayed.

"Estimated remaining time for transformation: six days and seven hours!" After a while, the voice of the chip's mechanical voice rang in my mind again.
