Wizard Immortal

Chapter 483 Outsiders

Get up.

In the quiet courtyard, looking at Lera kneeling on the ground, Adir spoke softly, then personally helped him up, his expression softening.

Now that they are my students, my attitude and treatment should naturally be different from before.

"You've just woken up, so please rest for the next few days."

Looking at Lera in front of him, Adir said, "After this period has passed and everyone else has woken up, you can go back to your camp."

"As for this period of time..."

As he spoke, he stretched out a hand, and to Lera's astonishment, a faint light shone from his fingertips, directly emanating from him.

As the light shone upon him, a vast amount of information suddenly surfaced in his mind, complex and exquisite. The first line of the information's introduction prominently displayed the words: Di'er Breathing Method.

This is the Diel Breathing Method compiled by Adir. Lera had also practiced it over the past year, but compared to the one he had obtained before, this one was undoubtedly much more profound and complex, with deeper descriptions in many places, allowing one to go further.

"This is!" Feeling the flood of information in her mind, Lera was overjoyed. Before she could say anything, she heard Adir continue speaking.

"Don't be idle during this rest period."

Adir glanced at the other person, his face expressionless: "You have the Knight Seed that I implanted in you before, so you should be able to learn this breathing technique very quickly."

"I'll teach you other things after you're promoted to Grand Knight."

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Lera's expression turned serious, and a look of great joy appeared in his eyes.

Seeing his appearance, Adir nodded, and then with a gust of wind, his entire body turned into a phantom and disappeared from the spot.

After leaving where Lera was, Adir went to other places as well.

As the real world is completely absorbed, players like Lera are beginning to awaken. However, there are differences among them.

Due to individual differences, the speed at which players awaken varies. Players like Lera are among the fastest to awaken, while most others are still asleep and have not yet woken up.

Of course, some players didn't wake up, but some players are destined never to wake up.

Several days ago, Adir discovered that some players' bodies had died automatically at some point, and they looked completely normal, just like people who had died naturally.

In this situation, it means the player himself has met with an accident. After all, at the final stage of world merging, even the real world is not a safe place. With various monsters and natural disasters, it's not surprising that mortals die in it.

Once a player dies in the real world, the consequences will naturally be reflected in this world, ultimately leading to the player's physical death in this world.

"However, the focus now is not on these players, but on the ordinary survivors..."

As he walked towards his courtyard, Adir lowered his head and fell into deep thought: "Although the quality of the players is good, and their world's favor is generally stronger than that of ordinary people, they are still a minority. In terms of numbers, they are outnumbered by ordinary people."

They may be called ordinary people, but they are not necessarily ordinary people.

The beings in the real world, after decades of feedback from the world's consciousness, have now mostly possessed certain qualities that have allowed them to live and reach this world.

Perhaps in terms of quality, these ordinary people are far inferior to the players, but their sheer number makes up for it all, making them impossible for anyone to ignore.

How many people are there in the real world?

Adir wasn't entirely clear on this issue, but considering the size of a world, it would be calculated in at least the hundreds of millions.

Even after experiencing various natural disasters and constant attacks from monsters from another world, the number of people who ultimately survive to arrive here will be no less than hundreds of millions.

With such a massive population, even if only one-tenth of these hundreds of millions of people possess the qualifications to become knights and wizards, that is still an extraordinary number.

It's like a seed with enormous potential. Before it sprouts, you might not see anything, but once it sprouts, the power it unleashes will be enough to shock and terrify anyone.

Of course, while the potential of this seed is terrifying, it is not easy to unleash that potential.

The simplest constraint is the limitation of resources.

Every system consumes resources. Whether it's knights or wizards, they are major consumers of resources. In the coastal region where Adir was born, many wizarding families had to exhaust their wealth to support a single wizard, which shows how resource-intensive the wizarding system is.

The knight system requires relatively fewer resources, but it is also more dangerous. Without the aid of various potions concocted by wizards, a knight's progress will be extremely slow, to an unbearable degree.

Moreover, in the later stages, the resources required by knights actually surpass those of the wizard system.

To advance to the level of Origin Knight, one needs the pure bloodline of an ancient creature, but how could such a thing be obtained by an ordinary person?

Besides the limitations of resources, there are also constraints such as teachers, environment, and time, which mean that it is impossible for everyone to embark on the path to extraordinary success; only a select few can be chosen.

However, aside from these conditions, the potential of this seed is also clearly foreseeable. If it can be unleashed, it will be enough to amaze countless people.

"Your Highness, news has come back from the commanders stationed in other regions."

One morning, in a lavishly constructed hall, officials from the city of Sisley were holding a meeting to discuss the upcoming affairs of Elka State.

Among the crowd, Lu Xiu wore a bright red robe, his face looked radiant, and he appeared very energetic.

"Within the territory of Elka State, a large number of outsiders have poured into various cities. They don't speak the language, but they are dressed in fine clothes and they all crowd into the surrounding cities."

Standing in the center of the council hall, under the watchful eyes of officials of all ranks, Lu Xiu remained calm. He handed over the prepared materials and began, "Because there are simply too many people pouring in, the cities are almost overflowing. Therefore, the governors of each city have sent representatives to inquire whether to expel these refugees."

"Expulsion?" Hearing this, everyone present frowned, and one of them couldn't help but ask, "Just how many people are there that warrant expulsion?"

As he spoke, those around him couldn't help but turn their gaze to Lu Xiu, clearly also wanting to know the answer.

It's important to understand that expelling refugees is something that has never been done in the Elka region since Adir arrived.

Elka State is located in a remote area, which is not only backward and has many wild animals and mosquitoes, but also has a small population and a lack of labor.

Therefore, since Adir settled in Elka State, in addition to suppressing bandits, he has always been very active in recruiting refugees. He usually only recruits refugees from the surrounding areas and would never actively expel them.

As the governor of various cities, if he can appease the refugees, it is one of his political achievements. He should be busy welcoming the large number of outsiders. Why would he think of expelling them?

This question flashed into everyone's mind in an instant. Only a few players, such as Lera beside Adir, seemed to have thought of something, and their expressions changed slightly.

"There are just too many."

At this point, Lucius's expression grew increasingly serious: "According to reports from various governors, almost every city has received at least hundreds of thousands of refugees. The total number of outsiders in the entire Elka province could reach several million, or even exceed that number!"

"What?!"

"This is impossible!!"

"Oh my god!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, gasps of surprise erupted from all around, filled with undisguised shock and disbelief.

"Millions of refugees!!"

In the crowd, a thin, gray-haired middle-aged man in a formal suit stared at Lu Xiu with a shocked expression, his eyes wide: "Your Excellency, I'm not questioning your statement, but isn't there a significant problem with the figures reported by the regional governors?"

He said hesitantly, not believing the number was true.

That's understandable. After all, how many people live in the entire state of Elka?

According to Adir's estimate, even including the unconquered natives, the number would be at most a few million.

The sheer number of newcomers alone is enough to raise serious concerns.

"His Highness sent someone to confirm this a few days ago when we first received the news."

Feeling the gazes directed at him, Lu Xiu gave a wry smile: "These numbers do indeed have a lot of problems, but they're not overreported; on the contrary, they might even be underreported..."

"In fact, at least hundreds of thousands of outsiders have gathered in the nearby western city at this time, and the number is still increasing as time goes by."

As soon as he finished speaking, the place fell into a deathly silence.

The people around were filled with disbelief and were about to ask more questions when they heard a voice from above.

"Alright, there's no need to question the number of refugees anymore."

Sitting at the head of the table, Adir interrupted the crowd's doubts and, looking at the many officials below, spoke.
