Wizard Immortal

Chapter 597 The Visitor

In the dilapidated village, a horse-drawn carriage slowly came to a stop, attracting the attention of all the residents.

Under the watchful eyes of all the residents, a figure emerged from among them.

He was a handsome and elegant young man with a tall and graceful figure. His deep eyes were like a pair of pure black gemstones, radiating an indescribable charm.

He slowly walked out of the carriage and stood in the sunlight, his neck and arms revealing fair skin, his long, straight hair hanging down meticulously, swaying gently in the breeze.

Compared to the past, the person remains unchanged, but the noble, peaceful yet approachable temperament and striking elegance that captivate the eye are truly stunning. A mere glance is enough to draw one in.

Looking at the boy, the scavengers around rubbed their eyes in disbelief, almost unable to believe that the person in front of them had crawled out of the battlefield.

When Adir first crawled out of the battlefield, his body was on the verge of death, covered in wounds and stained with blood, making it impossible to see his original appearance.

Although the scavengers dragged him from the battlefield, seeing his injuries, they almost all thought he wouldn't live much longer, so naturally no one would bother to take care of a "dead man."

But now, when Adir regained his will and emerged from his near-death state, it was unbelievable and had an extremely strong impact on everyone.

Gazing silently around, Adir finally looked in a certain direction ahead.

There, the girl Wendy stood there blankly, staring at Adir's appearance, also somewhat stunned, feeling a strong sense of unfamiliarity.

"Come on up."

Looking at the girl standing blankly in the distance, Adir didn't care. He smiled and waved to her, signaling her to come directly to the carriage.

Without much trouble or any unexpected events, Adir successfully picked up the girl without any mishaps along the way.

However, after taking the girl away, Adir left some of the things he had bought on the spot and gave them all to the residents of the village. He even gave some money to the people who had carried him out of the battlefield as a reward for their actions.

Considering some unforeseen circumstances, the amount of money given by Adir was not particularly large in terms of quantity or value, but it was still quite generous for a scavenger like him. It was enough to prevent others from having any thoughts of murdering him for his money, and it would also allow him to live a slightly more comfortable life.

If these people were smart enough, they could use the money to enter the city and obtain a formal identity and some arable land, so they wouldn't have to continue living as savages and enduring such a miserable life.

Before us, driven by the coachman, the carriage moved slowly but steadily forward.

In his final moments before leaving the village, Adir turned and looked back towards it, where he saw the ghoul's massive corpse lying in the center of the village, its expression still so ferocious and terrifying.

Gently shaking his head, Adir looked at Wendy lying beside him, now asleep, and stopped thinking about the village, focusing instead on the journey ahead.

The war between the Kingdom of Serena and the Kingdom of Tamru has been going on for a long time.

Based on the memories of the body's predecessor, the southern region of the Tamru Kingdom has probably already fallen, and it's only a matter of time before it is completely conquered by the Serene Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Tamru is riddled with problems. Not only are there numerous conflicting noble territories that refuse to obey the royal family's calls, but the royal family itself is also rife with issues. Several large-scale internal conflicts have occurred due to the issue of succession, leaving the country in a state of chaos and disorder.

Under these circumstances, facing a sudden joint attack from several major kingdoms led by the Kingdom of Serena, it is likely that the Kingdom of Tamru will be unable to reclaim this region in the short term.

The family to which Adir's body belongs occupies this region.

Faced with the invasion of the Kingdom of Serena, the Bakuru family was powerless to resist, leaving only two possible outcomes.

You either surrender directly or move north with the army of the Kingdom of Tamru.

Neither of these outcomes had a good outcome.

If they remained in their original territory and accepted the rule of the Kingdom of Serena, as the defeated, their treatment would inevitably be different. Even if the Bakuru family did not take action immediately because they were deeply rooted in the local area, they would definitely carry out various forms of suppression, both overt and covert.

Moreover, if this choice is made, there is a possibility of facing even more difficult predicaments in the future.

Despite the defeat in this war, the true power of the Kingdom of Tamru is actually superior to that of the Kingdom of Serena.

If it weren't for the internal strife within the kingdom, the infighting among powerful nobles, and the sudden attack by the Kingdom of Serena in alliance with several other kingdoms, this battle would most likely not have been lost.

However, once the succession struggle in the Kingdom of Tamru is resolved and the next king officially emerges and integrates the entire kingdom, he will inevitably head south again to reclaim all the territories that the Kingdom of Serena has swallowed up.

If the Kingdom of Tamru succeeds in driving out the Kingdom of Serena by then, what will become of the Bakuru family, who surrendered to the Kingdom of Serena?

However, if we take a different approach and abandon the territory, with the family heading north with the army, that is also not a good idea.

It is unknown how long the internal strife in Tamru will last. If it continues for too long, the power of the Bakuru family will inevitably decline rapidly after losing their own territory, and even some of their existing interests may be divided up by other envious nobles.

This is destined to be an extremely difficult choice. If the wrong choice is made, it will immediately lead to the decline of the entire family in the future, and it is not impossible for them to fall from the noble class.

However, for Adir, their choice is not important for the time being.

His next goal was to head north and leave this area.

Several days have passed since that night's battle.

In the past few days, through the power bestowed upon him by his original body, Adir has activated the Seed of Life and become a true knight, that is, an official knight of this world.

This is far from the end.

The power that Adir split off, though insignificant compared to his main body, was unimaginably terrifying to those at a lower level.

According to Adir's estimate, if all the previously separated power were consumed, it would at least restore the strength of the Sky Knight, equivalent to the Silver Knight of this world.

At this point, the danger of the world is greatly reduced. Dangers that are no longer a problem for ordinary people are no longer a problem. Even if they face an army's encirclement and suppression, they will not feel any pressure. One person can fight against an entire army.

Only when he reaches that level can Adir feel a little more at ease and begin to try to explore this world, delve into its secrets, and thus obtain deeper information.

"It'll be soon, it'll be soon..."

Sitting quietly in the carriage, feeling the pulse of energy coursing through his body, Adir spoke softly, "At most three months, I'll be able to digest this power..."

"By then..."

A series of sounds echoed from the spot, accompanied by the creaking of the carriage wheels, as the carriage slowly moved into the distance, gradually entering a city in the distance.

················

One day, more than half a month later.

At dawn, the setting sun slowly rises, illuminating the entire earth with exceptional brightness.

On the morning of that day, in a dilapidated village very close to several battlefields, a strange visitor walked in from outside.

He was a middle-aged man with dark skin, wearing an animal skin coat and a feathered hat. He was tall and strong, with muscles that looked powerful and robust.

He quietly walked in from the outside, finding the rugged path outside the village difficult to traverse at all, as if walking on flat ground. He led a thin, weak horse and slowly walked forward.

As he approached the edge of the village, he stared at it in surprise.

Because right in front of me, several people were carrying things, dressed in their best clothes, their faces filled with happiness and joy.

On one side, there was a hired coachman and a thin, short old horse, who were standing there impatiently, looking rather annoyed by the scene before them.

Staring at the scene before him, the dark-skinned middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting to see this. Then, he quickly walked forward, directly to the driver, and said warmly, "Good morning, my friend. Are you here to collect your goods?"

Upon hearing this, the coachman raised his head in surprise, carefully examining the middle-aged man's appearance and the equally thin, worn-out horse behind him, before nodding somewhat coldly: "No, I'm not."

"I'm here to help these people move," he said, his tone a mixture of impatience and envy.

"Moving?" The man paused, looking at the group of scavengers in front of him, and asked with some doubt, "Do they have the money to go to the city?"

In this world, not just anyone is qualified to enter urban areas.

If a wild man has never been recorded before, he must have a recordable identity if he wants to live in a city.

If the savages from the outside world want to enter the city, they must spend money to buy a certain area of ​​land in the city.

This amount of money may not seem like much to him, but it would be a huge sum for the average person.

At the very least, some people who spend their days scavenging on the battlefield and surviving by picking up remnants from corpses would certainly not be able to endure it.
