Versatile Mage: Summon eight demons at the beginning

Chapter 83 First Priority
……

Plague quarantine area.

After receiving Zhu Meng's message, Pang Lai rushed over quickly.

In just two days, Pang Lai realized that this trouble was of great importance.

"The number of infected people is doubling, and we can't even count them completely." Mr. Lu waved his hand and the nurses covered the bodies.

"Your Honor, do you still suspect that I was the one in charge of this matter?" Zhu Meng said in a deep voice.

"Are you going to watch Hangzhou city littered with corpses?"

Tang Zhong fell silent.

He firmly believed that the totem black snake was not poisonous during the molting period, but the plague might really be related to the black snake. However, the black snake had guarded the city for thousands of years. Even if this matter was really related to the black snake, he absolutely could not hand over the black snake.

"Mr. Congressman, we have searched the nearby area and found no trace of the black snake." The captain of the guards, Wu Pingjing, walked in.

"It would be a miracle if you could find it!" Zhu Meng looked at Pang Lai who had just walked in.

"Pang Lai, now only you can find that kid."

Pang Lai looked helpless, took out his cell phone and called Lu Cheng.

"Hey? Where have you been?"

"You didn't run away? Then where did you go?"

"Looking for an antidote?"

"..."

Pang Lai hung up the phone with a strange look on his face.

"Where is he?" Zhu Meng asked anxiously.

Pang Lai raised his head and pointed upward.

"Heaven."

……

Above the city of Hangzhou, in the sky beyond the reach of the naked eye, a floating island spanning several kilometers is hidden in the thick clouds.

"Are you really a human?" Tang Yue no longer knew how to describe her feelings.

Since the black snake could not stay in the totem bead for too long, last night Lu Cheng moved the soil and rocks on the ground to the sky through teleportation in front of her and created this huge floating island!

"Didn't you see him last night?" Lu Cheng said.

His soul is still too weak now, so at most he can complete half-dragon transformation, that is, the dragon-man form.

Only in that state can he control his own demonic energy at will. Moreover, being in the high altitude, he can obtain energy from the sky like Ximu, ignoring the mana consumption to a certain extent.

"But, such a big island..." Tang Yue still couldn't accept it.

Even a super-class earth mage can't do this!

Moreover, Lu Cheng not only built it, but also made it fly stably in the sky!

Even the black snake can move freely on it!

"I'm not a human anymore, so don't use human logic to compare me." Lu Cheng said.

Compared to Zhu Lan who can directly pull the moon, he just built a floating island, which is nothing.

And now the island is floating in the air because of his space talent, Space Annihilation, which can create a stable space fault. Now, the space below the sky island has been cut off by him.

In other words, the Sky Island is not floating in the sky, but it cannot fall down!
"Okay, relax." Lu Cheng held Tang Yue and lay on top of the black snake.

"I'm so awesome, shouldn't you be happy?"

"Happy..." Tang Yue's eyes twitched slightly.

It’s okay to be awesome, but don’t go too far!
Not only did you build a huge floating island of dozens of square kilometers, you also made it fly in the sky!
If I hadn't seen you build this thing with my own eyes, I would have suspected that I was dreaming!
"Dudu!"

"Hello? Old Man Pang, I didn't run away."

"Look for the antidote."

"I really didn't run away. I was staying right above your head."

"..."

hang up the phone.

Tang Yue looked strange, "Old Man Pang? Pang Lai?"

"Yeah." Lu Cheng nodded.

"Zhu Meng couldn't find me, so he just asked Pang Lai to come here."

"What about the antidote you mentioned?" Tang Yue looked puzzled.

Lu Cheng has been with her these two days. When did he find the antidote?
"I have little brothers." Lu Cheng waved his hand, and several ninja soldiers rushed out from the shadows, each carrying a large bag of eagle red grass on his back.

"This plague is actually the bubonic plague, and these red eagle grasses are the antidote." Tang Yue showed surprise, "Then we..."

"But I don't plan to take this thing out yet." Lu Cheng said.

Tang Yue was stunned, "Why?"

Leng Qing also contacted her just now. The plague is very serious now. If it is not suppressed in time, the plague may destroy the city.

"Do you want the Black Snake to exist openly in Hangzhou City?" Lu Cheng said.

Tang Yue paused, "I want to."

The Black Snake is the patron saint of Hangzhou City. If it weren’t for the existence of the Black Snake, which frightened the surrounding demons, this city would have disappeared long ago.

However, the black snake that silently guards Hangzhou City is feared by the people it protects, and is even regarded as a demon from outside. There are many people like Zhu Meng who want to eradicate the totem.

Hiding is not a solution after all. If possible, she also wants the totem to exist openly.

"Then just wait patiently." Lu Cheng took Tang Yue into his arms.

"I'll take care of this, and you don't have to worry about anything, okay?"

Tang Yue hesitated, "But..."

"People are very mean. They will forget a lesson that is not painful or itchy in just a few days," said Lu Cheng.

"Only by making a deep enough impression on them and letting them face the reality can the Black Snake exist safely."

If he took out the Eagle Red Grass now and solved the plague, it would only prove that the Black Snake had nothing to do with the plague, and the Silver Dome Lord might not come again.

Only when the Silver Dome Lord leads the White Magic Eagle to attack the city, and when the city falls into real despair and panic, can the appearance of the Black Snake bring the best effect.

"I know what you are worried about, but don't forget one thing," said Lu Cheng.

"The Black Snake doesn't owe them anything. In fact, they should thank this big guy for being able to live peacefully on this land."

"But they don't know, and even if they do know they won't admit it."

"Humans are arrogant. Do you think they are willing to admit that they have lived safely until now because of the protection of this giant snake?"

"They won't admit it. Even if the facts are right in front of them, many people are unwilling to admit it. Even when they become powerful, there will definitely be people who want to erase this humiliating past that they consider to be a shame."

"No!" Tang Yue said anxiously.

"No?" Lu Cheng held Tang Yue's head.

"You are a judge, haven't you seen enough darkness?"

"You can be nice to people, but you can't be too nice to them. Otherwise, they will take your kindness for granted. Even if you ignore them one day, they will think you owe them something."

"You can be a good person and do good things, but everything should be done in moderation. Before you can be a good person or do good things, you must first protect yourself."

"I know you don't want more casualties, but you don't need to feel guilty."

"I have no obligation to save them. Without me, they will die anyway. Even Black Snake might get into trouble, and you might get into trouble too."

"And my intervention has saved many lives."

"Don't put too much psychological pressure on yourself, and don't take on responsibilities that don't belong to you. You are just a small judge. Don't think that the world will not turn without you, and don't take the deaths of so-called innocent people as your responsibility."

"Maybe you can ignore your own safety for them, but I can't."

"You are just an insignificant judge to them, but you are very important to me. I will help you with what you want to do, but you will be my priority."

"But..." Tang Yue struggled.

She could probably guess what Lu Cheng meant, and she knew that there would definitely be bigger troubles next.

Lu Cheng wanted Xuan Snake to solve the bigger problem and become a hero.

However, greater trouble means greater sacrifices...

"If you insist on saving them at the cost of your own safety, then I can only let them be buried with you." Lu Cheng said dimly.

"Ah?" Tang Yue was stunned.

How come you change your attitude faster than turning the pages of a book?
"Their life or death has nothing to do with me, and I don't care whether these people live or die. Everything I do is for you. I hope you can be happy because seeing you happy will make me happy too." Lu Cheng said.

"But if you choose to satisfy yourself, disregard my mood, or even disgust me, then no one will be happy."

"That's not what I meant." Tang Yue said anxiously.

"I just……"

"He's just a fool who can't even protect himself." Lu Cheng pressed Tang Yue under him.

"You can be a good person, but your good deeds must come after me."

"I am happy and can choose to make everyone happy."

"But if I'm not happy, no one will be happy."

“I am the first priority.”
