Wizard Immortal

Chapter 426 Fengkai City

"Has it come to this?"

In the quiet room, Adir gazed calmly at Edith beside him and sighed softly.

As the next high priest, or even the future Elf King, the royal court would not allow him to fight unless certain conditions were met.

This has nothing to do with strength; it's purely about status. It's like a war between two countries; the king certainly won't appear on the battlefield unless it's a crucial moment.

Adir's current status is similar. As the next high priest and the future Moon Elf King, he is, in some ways, far more important than King Kas and Kular. Under normal circumstances, the royal court would never consider sending him into battle.

Now that he is to be sent into battle, the pressure on the battlefield must be immense.

"When does His Majesty authorize me to depart?"

Turning to his wife, Adir spoke softly.

"Anytime within two months is fine, but Father's wish is that it be as soon as possible." Beside her husband, Edith looked at him with undisguised worry in her eyes: "Actually, according to Father's wishes, if you don't want to go..."

"We must go." Adir shook his head slightly. "Since His Majesty is preparing me to go into battle as well, he must have his reasons. We don't need to worry too much."

He turned to look at Edith, who was standing beside him, quietly watching him. Her pure eyes were beautiful, and the emotions they held were touching.

In Edith's arms, Solana lay quietly, already asleep, her chest rising and falling, her breathing appearing very steady.

Gently reaching out to stroke Edith's hair, savoring the unique touch, Adir smiled softly and assured her, "Trust me, I'll be fine."

"Hmm." Edith nodded gently, looking at Adir, who was as handsome as ever and had a deep aura, and finally managed to suppress her worries for the time being.

A month later.

On a desolate road in the wilderness, a magnificent carriage was moving slowly.

Around the carriages were squads of elite knights riding white horses, all of whom were true knights who had activated the Seed of Life.

This is the team that Adir has built up over the past few years.

With his extensive experience in the world of knights, Adir is already quite adept at quickly mastering the knight system.

Using a complete set of knight breathing techniques as a foundation, supplemented by a large amount of knight potions, the life seed can be quickly activated, allowing a knight apprentice who would normally need several years to grow to become a true knight in just a few months.

If the knight himself has good talent, or is even a knight by nature, then it is not impossible to be promoted to a great knight by following a certain process.

Most of the seven hundred knights before us came from this group.

"Has no one come forward to guide us yet?"

Walking at the very front of the procession, looking out at the desolate road in the distance, Andra, dressed in a light blue wizard's robe, frowned slightly.

As a relative of Adir, he had received a lot of support from Adir over the past few years, with various resources and advanced meditation methods being made available to him. As a result, he successfully advanced to a formal wizard a year ago and was brought out by Adir this time.

In this expedition, besides Adir himself, there were two other formal wizards, one wizard in the metamorphosis stage, and three Sky Knights trained over the past few years.

However, Andra was, after all, a relative of Adir, so along the way, without Adir's involvement, he took the lead in most affairs of the group.

"My lord, something's not right up ahead." A middle-aged man in armor approached Andra, his expression hesitant. "There are very fresh traces of magic; it shouldn't be too long ago."

呲! !

A sharp hissing sounded all around, accompanied by shadows looming over the surroundings.

Andra subconsciously looked up, only to find that, without her noticing, a large flock of giant birds had begun to take flight around her.

These giant birds were entirely black, but their eyes were scarlet, carrying a deathly and inexplicable meaning, as ominous as crows that herald death.

"These are..." Looking at the scene, Andra subconsciously tensed up, his magical power beginning to gather, ready to strike at any moment.

"The Death Bird." A cold voice rang out from all around. Although the voice was not loud, it rang accurately in everyone's ears without the slightest delay.

Beside Andra, Adir had stepped out of the carriage at some point, his silver eyes calmly watching the black giant birds gathering in the distance.

"Your Highness!"

Andra's arm trembled, and he quickly said, "You can wait inside the carriage; please leave this to us."

"There's no need." Adir shook his head, his gaze fixed on the Death Birds gathering in the distance, the silver light in his eyes growing even stronger. "This is a barrier that was prepared long ago. If you were here, it could indeed be resolved, but that would waste time and fall right into someone else's hands."

As he spoke, he raised his head, and his aura began to rise.

A crimson radiance flashed across the sky, initially extremely faint, but then blazed brightly, instantly obscuring the black light barrier formed by the countless death-reporting birds gathered around, and then severing it one by one.

boom! !

Blood rained down from the sky, accompanied by countless bird cries, mournful and venomous, like a final roar before death, rushing into the minds of those around.

But the next moment, a flash of light appeared, and everything, whether it was the rain of blood or the roars and birdsong, was swallowed and cut off by the blood-red light, all turning into nothingness and disappearing.

Once all the strange noises around him subsided, Adir calmly sheathed his red blood blade beside Andra and then walked toward the carriage behind him.

All around, countless white skeletons were flying around, falling continuously from the sky, their flesh and blood disappearing completely, swallowed up by the blood-red blade light.

Before everyone could recover from the shock, Adir's voice continued to ring in their ears.

"Speed ​​up and head towards Fengkai City at full speed from now on."

"I want to see what Fengkai City looks like within a day."

"Yes." Everyone present bowed and respectfully accepted the order, without the slightest hesitation.

················

Inside the carriage, Adir sat upright on the cushion, quietly looking at the long sword in his hand.

In his palm, a blood-red longsword quietly emitted a bloody light. It seemed to have just absorbed a large amount of life force, and the blade was now somewhat hot to the touch, with a warm current flowing through it, constantly surging towards Adir's body with each contact.

Sitting upright in the carriage, Adir could clearly sense the changes within himself through his powerful soul.

The blood in his body was boiling rapidly. Influenced by a certain force, the bloodline imprint in Adir's body was also flashing, with a little bit of silver moon elf power flowing faster and slowly becoming stronger over time.

These changes were brought about by the Bloodline Blade in his hand.

After absorbing the life force of tens of thousands of Deathbirds in one go, this Bloodline Blade seemed to begin to revive. Most of the power it had absorbed was stored inside, and then transformed into the purest blood energy through the blade to nourish Adir's own bloodline.

Adir could feel that, under the nourishment of this bloodline, his own bloodline was maturing at an accelerated pace, and the degree of transformation of his bloodline was almost dozens of times greater than before.

However, this growth has not come without a price.

The most significant effect is on lifespan.

While blood energy accelerates the growth of blood vessels, it also accelerates the depletion of one's own lifespan, and this depletion is quite severe.

In just a brief moment of contact and accelerated maturation, Adir could feel that his lifespan had been reduced by at least a few months.

At the same time, as the power of blood energy gradually seeped in, Adir himself underwent many changes, and many chaotic and violent emotions involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

"As expected, it's nothing good."

Shaking his head, Adir's pure and powerful soul shone brightly, purifying all impurities that tainted it. His expression was calm: "Of the ten percent of blood energy, only ten percent will be given to me, the master. The rest will all be used to nourish himself. He's really greedy."

Looking at the long sword in his hand, he shook his head, feeling both wary and intrigued by the sight, yet also developing a keen interest in studying it.

Adir was very curious about how the ability to absorb the life force of other creatures to convert into blood energy, thereby promoting the maturation of bloodlines and nourishing itself, was achieved.

This is the nature of wizards; when they encounter something interesting, they always want to try to understand and master it, and Adir is no exception.

However, this was not the time for research, so Adir simply created a backup on the chip in his mind, mobilized some computing power for deduction, and then turned his attention to other aspects.

For example, the current fighting situation in this region.

Windarmor City is one of the important cities in the southern part of Silvermist Forest. After many border cities, including Morningwind City, fell, this city became the southern gateway, representing a strategic stronghold.

The gain or loss of this place will affect a quarter of the territory under the Silver Mist Royal Court's control. Once it falls, the heart of the Royal Court will be directly exposed to the Dark Elf Royal Court's offensive, with extremely serious consequences.

It was precisely because of the city's importance that King Cast sent Adir, hoping to rely on his strength to protect it.

In the current royal court, there are few more suitable candidates than Adir.

Even disregarding the vast majority of his hidden power, the power he has currently displayed is already at the pinnacle of a level two wizard, reaching a peak level.

Including the Moon King's Sword in his hand, in the entire Silver Mist Forest, even King Kas is no match for Adir now. Apart from Kural, who can still overpower him, everyone else is far inferior.

It was precisely because of this terrifying strength that King Cast and Kural felt comfortable letting Adir go, hoping to relieve the pressure on the southern front.

I recommend a friend's book, *The Life of Muhammad*, you can check it out if you have time. By the way, there will be a big update tomorrow.
