Wizard Immortal

Chapter 599 The Prince

Standing on the street, feeling the wind and snow outside, Adir looked out.

The streets and alleys were deserted, with very few people out and about.

This is normal. In such cold weather, unless absolutely necessary, no one wants to brave the cold wind and freeze for nothing.

However, aside from the weather, the current situation is also related to the ongoing war.

The war between the Kingdom of Serena and the Kingdom of Tamru continues.

This is information that Adir has gathered from various places over the past few days.

After capturing the southern fortress and occupying several provinces of the Kingdom of Tamru, the army of the Kingdom of Serena is now positioned on the border, confronting the army of the Kingdom of Tamru. Although the two countries have not continued to fight, small-scale battles are taking place all the time, making the atmosphere in the vicinity extremely tense.

The city where Adir is currently located belongs to the Kingdom of Veluba and borders both the Kingdom of Serena and the Kingdom of Tamru. In recent times, it has also been affected by the constant wars outside, resulting in a significant decrease in the number of merchants traveling to and from the city.

In the past, even in the dead of winter, there were still many merchants from outside the city, but now they have almost disappeared.

Standing there quietly, as if sensing something, Adir looked back.

A group of people were slowly walking in from outside the city gate not far away.

This was a group of about seven or eight people dressed in tattered clothes, struggling to move forward in the cold wind, without saying a word.

Even from a great distance, Adir could smell the faint scent of blood on these people, as well as the lingering traces of battle.

"A bunch of disguised remnants of the army?"

Seeing the people walking towards them, Adir turned around and pulled Wendy to hide in a corner.

During this period, Adir had seen many such remnants of soldiers, mostly defeated troops of the Kingdom of Tamru in disguise, often including a few nobles.

Adir turned around, not wanting to be seen by these people. After all, the body's predecessor was a nobleman, and in this vicinity, someone familiar with him might recognize him.

Although being recognized wouldn't be a big deal in a strict sense, Adir instinctively felt that it was better to avoid trouble.

As Adir dodged, the group walked right past him without seeing his face.

As they passed Adir, one of the people in the group looked up at Adir's back, his face showing a hint of confusion, as if he thought Adir looked familiar.

However, he still didn't fully recognize Adir in the end, and slowly made his way to his destination surrounded by people.

Under Adir's watchful eye, the group slowly walked to a huge building and then disappeared.

"That person just now... seems somewhat familiar..."

After the group of people had gone far away, Adir emerged from the corner, looking at their retreating figures with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Just now, a young man in the center of that group, who seemed to be the leader, glanced at him, a detail he naturally noticed as well.

He also felt a sense of familiarity with the man, but the man's appearance was unfamiliar; he had never seen him before in this body's memory.

"Was her appearance concealed?"

Gazing into the distance, he murmured to himself.

Although there are no human skin masks in this world, there are many things that have the same effect.

Whether it's a mage's magic or a priest's divine spell, they can achieve similar effects.

As he watched the other person's figure gradually disappear, Adir glanced at the building the other person had headed towards.

There stood a tall church, its exterior adorned with a simple yet magnificent array of dark, intricate markings that left a lasting impression.

"The Church of the God of Darkness..."

Adir raised his head, gazing at the magnificent yet dim badge, and the thought flashed through his mind.

The God of Twilight is a priestly deity worshipped in several nearby kingdoms. He governs the boundary between twilight and darkness and is the sole deity of the Kingdom of Tamru, though legends also circulate in the Kingdom of Veluba.

Standing there, gazing at the church, Adir hesitated for a moment. After confirming the location, he led Wendy and walked towards a street.

Ahead, inside the church, the young man who had looked at Adir earlier was standing quietly, his gaze fixed on the direction of the door, as if waiting for someone to follow.

After waiting for a long time, he raised an eyebrow, realizing that the other person had not followed.

"Perhaps it's just my imagination."

He shook his head, and seeing that no one came forward, he gave up his idea and slowly walked forward.

Inside the church in front, an old man stood there, dressed in a black robe, with intricate black patterns painted on his face, gray hair and beard, and withered skin, wearing a dark cassock.

"Welcome, Prince Ruger."

Seeing the group of people walking towards him, the old man's gaze gradually focused on the young man in the center. A smile slowly appeared on his aged and kind face, and he looked very happy: "It's a pleasure to see you again."

"I'm also very happy to see you." Upon seeing the old man, the young man smiled and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Brother Irula, seeing you here is the best news I've heard in months."

"You flatter me." Irula shook her head, looking at Rugel in front of her, her expression gradually becoming serious. "Your Highness, please come with me. The city is being searched very thoroughly right now. I will take you to a more secluded place."

"Thank you for your help." Ruger nodded, not refusing Irula's kindness, and responded with a smile, clearly aware of his current situation.

With the frontline army defeated, the infiltrators of the Kingdom of Serena are now searching for him throughout the southern region, hoping to capture him and hand him over to the King of Serena.

Although the Kingdom of Veluba remained neutral in this battle, with the defeat of the Kingdom of Tamru, its attitude has somewhat shifted towards that of the Kingdom of Serena, and the search for them has become much more intense.

If he hadn't been carrying a lot of alchemical items while on the run, escaping now would have been very difficult.

"By the way, where are the others?"

Seemingly remembering something, Gruul continued to ask, his brow furrowed with concern.

"I haven't seen the others yet. Your Highness, you are the first group to arrive here."

Irula said, "My mission is simply to escort Your Highness back to your country safely. If I escort too many people at once, it might increase the chances of Your Highness being exposed."

"Yes..." Gruul gave a wry smile, as if he had remembered something, and gradually fell silent.
