Wizard Immortal

Chapter 588 Plague

Sitting quietly in the city of Fakus, Adir waited patiently.

Kural acted swiftly, gathering and compiling information about the underground world within just a few days, and then sending it to the city of Fakus in a short period of time.

A few days later, in the royal palace of Fakus, several dark elf wizards slowly walked into the hall.

These dark elf wizards did not appear to be very powerful. The strongest of them was merely a formal wizard, and compared to the forces remaining in the palace, they were insignificant.

To some extent, this is also due to the seal between the underground world and the surface world.

When the seal on the underground world weakened, the dark elves launched a massive invasion of the surface world. After being repelled by Adir, Adir personally reinforced the passages to the underground world to allow them to recuperate, thus strengthening the seal once again.

Ordinary people with no power might be able to barely enter the surface world through the passage, but wizards could not do so.

The stronger the subterranean creature, the stronger the repulsion it faces when passing through the passage. Subterranean creatures of the level of wizards or above cannot enter the surface world at all.

These formal wizards before us must have paid a heavy price to be able to enter the surface world from the underground world.

"Has the underground world been invaded?"

Sitting at the head of the table, looking at the dark elf wizards before him and the records in his hand, Adir raised his head, a hint of surprise on his face.

The underground world has always been a chaotic and vast place. It is always the underground world that invades others, but no one is willing to go into the underground world to explore.

This time, however, the underground world was invaded by others, which surprised even Adir and made him feel strange.

"Yes."

At the lower level, an old dark elf wizard nodded, gazing at Adir, who sat enthroned in the distance, with a hint of awe and fear on his face.

Although these dark elf wizards appeared calm on the surface, they were constantly feeling suppressed and tense inside, even though they were in the heart of the elven race's stronghold.

Especially now, the person in front of them is someone they have never truly faced before.

The King of the Earth's Elves, the Moon King, the Great Elf Wizard!

These identities destined the person before them to be glorious and of high status. Even with the chaotic and disorderly nature of the Dark Elves, they had no choice but to lower their heads and feel profound awe in front of such a person.

Standing before all the dark elves, the old dark elf wizard felt an even deeper weight.

The noble, vast, and profound aura emanating from Adir, as if born at the dawn of creation, along with the familiar yet unfamiliar power of his bloodline, made him feel his blood boil the moment he stood there, and he couldn't help but want to kneel down and submit to the king before him.

Dark elves are also elves.

Although living in the underground world for many years and being influenced by its power and environment has caused the Dark Elves' physique and temperament to differ from those of ordinary elves, their bloodline, which belongs to the same elven race, undoubtedly originates from the same source.

As fellow elves, they were naturally sensitive to the aura emanating from Adir.

That is the blood of Emerald, the purest primordial blood among the elves, the most powerful elven bloodline born from the body of Emerald Mother. Any elf standing before it can only submit.

Even if Adir didn't deliberately reveal it, the slightest aura that was unintentionally leaked out was enough to make people tremble with fear and feel a deep throbbing in their bloodline, causing their body and mind to shake and making it impossible for them to remain calm.

It has nothing to do with personality, talent, or emotions; it is simply the stirring of blood that is enough.

Sitting at the head of the table, Adir seemed to sense the emotions of the dark elves, but he didn't pay them any mind. He simply lowered his head, his pure eyes looking down at the people below, quietly waiting for their answer.

"About a hundred years ago, the underground world was invaded by an unknown force."

Below, under Adir's gaze, after a moment of silence, the elderly but still vigorous old wizard spoke: "A plague has appeared in the underground world..."

"Plague?" Upon hearing this, some people present were surprised, but they didn't say anything. They just stood there and listened quietly.

"In the underground world, plague and death are commonplace. This plague did not attract attention at first, and it was only after it broke out in full force that people finally realized what was happening."

Before him, as if recalling some scene, the old wizard's lips curled into a bitter smile: "Since its discovery, this plague has spread rapidly, eventually even infecting formal wizards, making them victims of this plague."

"A plague that can even infect formal wizards?" Sitting at the head of the table, even Adir couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this.

The life essence of a wizard is far beyond that of an ordinary person. What ordinary people consider terminal illnesses and epidemics are not life at all to a wizard.

Not to mention formal wizards, even ordinary third-class apprentices have physiological structures and life essences that far exceed those of ordinary people, greatly reducing their awareness of the possibility of contracting diseases.

If this plague in the underground world can infect even formal wizards, then it is highly likely that it is not naturally occurring, but rather caused by something that has resulted in such terrifying destruction and pollution.

"Moreover, when the plague reached its peak, something even more terrifying happened."

The old wizard wore a bitter smile, and as he recalled the events of the past few years, fear crept onto his face: "Overnight, the inhabitants of several cities were all infected with the plague and transformed into terrifying monsters overnight."

"These mutated monsters not only possess formidable strength, but also a powerful infectiousness. If an ordinary person touches even a speck of their skin or breathes even a trace of their scent, they will immediately be infected and quickly transform into the next monster."

"Such terrifying infectivity?" Hearing this, Gloria, who was standing next to Kural, slowly became serious.

Snake women are inherently highly toxic and infectious, and legends often tell of people dying while holding snake scales.

But even Gloria, who possesses the blood of the snake woman, is far less infectious than this terrifying plague.

"After the outbreak of the plague, the priests of several races joined forces to explore the environment of the underground world. They eventually discovered that the rivers of the entire underground world were filled with particles of that strange power."

At this point, the old wizard gave a bitter smile: "If things continue like this, the dark elves of the entire underground world will perish. That's why we're trying to migrate to the surface world, hoping to seek the protection of the great Elf King."

As soon as he finished speaking, he knelt down directly before the throne, his face filled with bitterness, despair, and sorrow.

However, several people around him changed their expressions after hearing his story.

Kural stepped forward, his expression turning somewhat unfriendly as he looked at the dark elf wizards before him: "Your underground world has been afflicted with a plague. If you migrate to the surface world, aren't you afraid of spreading this plague there?"

"No!" The elderly dark elf wizard shook his head before him. "We have tried more than once in the past few decades."

"The plague in the underground world seems to be caused by the special environment of the underground world. It is highly contagious and destructive in the underground world, but it disappears immediately once it comes to the surface world."

"I was once ordered to bring several monsters from the city that had been infected by the plague to the surface world. After arriving in the surface world, those monsters died not long after, and before they died, they turned back into their former appearances and became corpses."

"Who knows if you're telling the truth or not?" Kural's expression was indifferent; he didn't have much goodwill towards these dark elf wizards.

No wonder.

Back then, the dark elves of the underground world repeatedly invaded the Silvermist Forest, attempting to seize the position of the surface elves. The two sides engaged in fierce battles more than once, and the blood and tears involved would probably take three days and three nights to recount.

As the former high priest of the Silver Mist Royal Court, Kural must have had no goodwill towards these dark elves.

After the dark elf wizard finished speaking, everyone present gradually looked up and focused on the throne, awaiting the supreme king's decision.

As the absolute ruler of the Maison region, the elven archmage Adir is the supreme king of Maison. Once he makes a decision, no one dares to challenge it.

At the head of the table, under the gaze of everyone, Adir lowered his head and gradually fell into contemplation.

To be honest, most of the wizards present did not believe that the plague from the underground world would be completely ineffective on the surface world.

But Adir had a different opinion.

"The underground world and the surface world were not originally the same world."

Sitting quietly on his throne, Adir gazed at the dark elf wizard before him, his thoughts drifting far away to an unknown distance.

During his two years at the Emerald Tower, he read many of the books in the tower and learned many secrets that he had never known before.

The relationship between the underground world and the surface world is one example.

Back when the Silver Mist Royal Court was at war with the Dark Elves, Adir had a question.

Why are there such huge differences between the underground world and the surface world?

Although they are the same world, the underground world is far more chaotic than the surface world. It also has a powerful world suppression system that isolates the underground world from the surface world.

The former might be explained by environmental differences, but how can the latter be explained?

Adir's doubts were not truly resolved until they reached the Emerald Tower.

The underground world and the surface world were indeed not the same world originally.

In the glorious era of ancient wizards, countless worlds were encountered.

Among these worlds, some, like the Emerald World, eventually came under the control of wizards, while others were infected by natural disasters.

The world of natural disasters is vast and its power is no less than that of the wizarding world. The power of natural disasters represents the world of natural disasters, and once one is tainted even slightly, the traces of natural disasters can never be washed away for life.

Those worlds deeply infected by the power of natural disasters and profoundly affected by the world of natural disasters could not be completely purified even by ancient wizards. They could only eventually be thrown into the wizarding world, where the vast world power of the wizarding world could be used to suppress them and slowly purify them over a long period of time, eventually making them a part of the wizarding world.

These suppressed and purified worlds became the underground world.

As a world infected by the power of natural disasters, the underground world is not only affected by the source of these disasters, but it is also incompatible with the surface world. Therefore, it is rejected by the surface world and suppressed by the mysterious world will, forming seals that isolate it from the surface world.

If the plague currently raging in the underground world is related to this, then it is not surprising that it becomes completely ineffective after arriving in the surface world.

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Looking at the dark elf wizards before him, Adir finally made his decision.

Dark elves are also elves.

The so-called dark elves were originally just ordinary elves, but because they lived in the underground world for a long time, they were influenced by the power of the underground world and gradually evolved into another form.

But ultimately, these are also of elven blood, and are beings that share the same lineage as the surface elves.

The Dark Elves have thrived in the underground world for tens of thousands of years, developing into a considerable population and force. Absorbing them would be a great addition to the Elven Royal Court in the Maison region.

The elven race has a relatively low reproductive rate. Within the Silvermist Royal Court, the elven population in the Silvermist Forest was originally not large, and even after hundreds of years of reproduction, it remains insignificant. It is incomparable to those large, numerous races.

It was already extremely difficult for such a small population to govern such a vast area as Maison.

The addition of the Dark Elves is a welcome supplement to the Elf Royal Court.

Although Adir didn't care about it, he was willing to do it if it was convenient for him.

Moreover, there is a second reason.

As the son of Emerald, even though his bloodline was not yet fully stable, Adir still had a vague feeling.

The strength of the elves was of great importance to him.

It was not an emotion or inclination in his heart, nor was it so-called obsession; it was merely a strange premonition originating from his bloodline. Although weak, it was firmly engraved in Adir's mind.

This premonition was enough for Adir to make a decision in this incident.

So, under the watchful eyes of the many wizards below, he raised his head and slowly rose from his spot. At this moment, his entire body exuded a faint majesty, carrying a supreme bloodline aura that caused the many elven wizards present to change color, feeling a terrifying power that made their bloodline tremble.

"Send wizards to the sealed land and break the seal within."

Amidst the delighted expressions of the dark elf wizards below, Adir gently raised his head and spoke thus.
