Chapter 198 News of the War
A faint smoke rose in the spacious laboratory, accompanied by a slight aroma.
boom! boom! boom!
At the door of the laboratory, a slight knock sounded quickly, followed by footsteps.
"Come in!"
Adil's voice sounded around, and a crisp sound came from the back door.
With a squeak, the door of the laboratory was quickly opened, and two apprentices wearing black robes with emerald patterns on them walked in from the outside, their faces were very respectful: "Lord Adil, let's come over to collect this month. share.”
"Huh? There are still more than ten days before the delivery of the medicine, right?"
Hearing the voice, Adil turned his head, his face looked a little puzzled.
"This...I'm so sorry..."
The black-robed apprentice's face was embarrassed: "The frontline battlefield is tight, and Lord Aoria has urged us to gather logistical materials more than once, so..."
"Again?"
Hearing this statement, Adil frowned at first, but stopped his movements and walked to the cabinet beside him.
From the cabinet on the side, he took out a large emerald green box and placed it directly on the wooden table on the side.
"Twenty sharpening potions, ten expelling potions, and ten dragon blood."
Adil looked at the apprentice in front of him: "This month's share is here, remember to come back next month."
"Yes, I'm disturbing the adults."
Hearing Adil's words, the two black-robed apprentices quickly explained, then stepped forward and gently opened the green box.
The moment the box was opened, a faint brilliance escaped from it, and dozens of potions were directly displayed in it, looking very beautiful.
When they saw these dozens of potions, the two black-robed apprentices breathed a sigh of relief and felt fortunate in their hearts: "It seems that there should be no problem in gathering this share."
After testing the potion and confirming that there was no problem, they handed over to Adil, then bowed to Adil and hurriedly left.
Standing in the spacious laboratory, looking at the backs of the two apprentices from a distance, Adil couldn't help shaking his head, his heart became much heavier: "It seems that this time the war is very fierce."
At this time, half a year has passed since he joined the Jade Hand. During this time, Adil not only integrated into the Jade Hand, but also accepted a task in charge of refining pharmaceuticals.
Compared with other tasks, this task is very suitable for Adil. It only needs to refine a fixed amount of potion and deliver it every time to satisfy the task. It does not take too much time, and the rewards are very generous.
At the headquarters of the Emerald Hand, in addition to refining pharmaceuticals to earn black coins, Adier usually exchanges various advanced knowledge or communicates with other wizards. In the past half a year, he has also gained a lot of fame, and even some wizards in other organizations have heard of his reputation.
This kind of life was originally very stable, but judging from the recent situation, I am afraid it will end soon.
After packing up the things in place, Adil walked out.
Just walking out of the door of the laboratory, there was a sudden roar in the distance.
"The last batch of medicine was just delivered a few days ago! How dare you bother me again!!"
A frantic roar sounded from the laboratory on the side, with a hint of madness and fluctuations in the force field.
In a laboratory not far from Adier, the two black-robed apprentices who came to Adier before were thrown directly out, and after flying for a distance of five or six meters, they fell heavily on the ground with a dull sound. sound.
Looking at Adil's line of sight, he could even see a strange man in a black robe standing on the side with a grim expression, slamming the door shut.
Shaking his head gently, Adiel felt a little sympathetic to the two apprentices who were thrown out.
Not every wizard is as talkative as Adil. Because of the long time spent in the laboratory doing various experiments, the psychology of many official wizards is more or less distorted and extreme.
It will explode if you are not careful.
Ignoring this matter, Adil glanced at the place and walked towards a certain road.
After he left, the laboratory door behind him automatically closed and closed tightly.
After leaving the previous laboratory, Adil soon walked to another area.
This is a small villa on a plain.
Unlike the previous laboratory, although this villa is also located at the headquarters of the Emerald Hand, it is Adil's private property, and he bought it several months ago as a place for some private experiments.
Walking to the gate of the villa, there was already someone waiting.
It was a middle-aged wizard in a red robe with a mustache. After seeing Adil's figure, he walked over with a warm expression: "Adil, you are finally back."
"Telis, long time no see!"
Looking at this man, Adil showed a smile on his face: "Are you here to bring me good news?"
"Absolutely good news for you, of course."
Triss had a smile on his face.
"Oh, I'm looking forward to it."
Seeing the other party say that, Adiel was obviously curious.
The person in front of him is also a member of the Jade Hand, but unlike the new member Adil, the wizard has joined the Jade Hand for a long time, and there seems to be some relationship behind it, and he can get a lot of rare things , such as many rare slaves.
"Come on, my friend, I'm sure I'll satisfy you this time."
Tris clapped his hands, then walked aside with Adil.
After walking for a long time, when he reached a platform, he stopped and pointed around: "Adil, look at the goods around here! These are just transported from the battlefield."
Only then did Adil look around.
On the surrounding empty platform, there are huge black cages, made of special alchemy materials, and special small witch formations are also blessed on them to suppress them.
In these black cages, creatures of different statures sit quietly inside, some are humans, some are orcs, and some are sea clans, looking like a hodgepodge.
In a certain cage, Adil also detected some kind of aura, which made him suddenly change color: "Official wizard!! You can even get an official wizard?"
"Certainly not a living, official wizard."
Facing Adil's surprise, Tris shook his head: "I can't get a living official wizard. There are only two corpses here, and they are still incomplete."
Listening to this statement, Adil's face returned to normal, and he followed the other party to the front.
When he got to the huge black cage in front, Adiel could see what was inside.
Those were two very miserable corpses, one belonged to a human, the head had disappeared, and there were also many parts and organs on the body that were mutilated, and looked bloody.
As for the other one, it belonged to a female lizardman in leather armor, whose body was also drenched in blood. It seemed that he should have died from some powerful spell before his death.
"Both of these corpses were captured on the frontline battlefield. I happened to be in that area at the time. Knowing that you needed these things, I secretly bought them at a high price."
Speaking of this, Tris showed a smug smile on his face: "How about this thing?"
"Let's talk about a price." Looking at the two corpses, Adiel said.
"One hundred black coins." Looking at Adil, Tris made a price.
"Are you kidding me?" Adil looked at Tris with a calm face.
"of course not."
Tris shrugged: "My price has always been fair. Since I say this price, it will definitely satisfy you."
While speaking, he walked to the cage on the side and pulled the black cloth off the cage to reveal the contents.
The faint coldness was rising continuously, and an ice coffin was revealed and exposed in front of Adil.
And in the ice coffin that was braving the cold air, a naked female elf corpse was lying quietly inside, with a dagger pierced through the heart.
"This is···"
When he saw the corpse of the female elf, Adil's eyes suddenly became solemn.
"The corpse of an elf royal family has the thin bloodline of the ancient moon elf in its body, but it is a precious material that is difficult to obtain."
Tris snapped his fingers: "How?"
"I am very satisfied."
Looking at the other party, a smile appeared on Adil's face.
･･････
"Has the war on the front been so intense?"
After the transaction was over, Adil asked while the servants were transporting the corpse.
"Yeah." Tris sighed: "For the past six months, I have been traveling on the frontline battlefield, and the terrifying legacy on the battlefield makes me feel horrified."
"The lizardmen have rioted, and the Swamp Principality has declared war on us, joining forces with the dark wizards of Odo Province to attack. The orcs in the north are also rioting, and now they are fighting against the Blackthorn College in the north."
"The same goes for the elves in the Silver Mist Forest in the south. It seems that they have the same intention of emerging recently. They keep looking around for news, and they seem to be hesitating."
Speaking of this, Tris is also helpless.
Different from other regions, although the power of wizards in the Maisen area is stronger, the contradictions are also more intense. There are often conflicts between various races and even different wizarding organizations, and wars are just commonplace.
"Anyway, you should be ready recently."
Tris reminded Adil: "The surrounding situation has become more and more chaotic recently. Although our Emerald Hand is relatively stable, it seems to have made some movements recently."
"The organization also wants to participate in the war?" Adil frowned.
"I don't know yet." Triss smiled bitterly: "How can I, a formal wizard, figure out the high-level affairs. At most, I rely on some previous news. The news is a bit faster than what you received."
"That's true." Adil nodded lightly at this statement and stopped talking.
