Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 138 Li Yu's Complaints

"Has the totem black snake's injury healed?"

At this time, in addition to Mo Fan and Li Yu, there were also Ling Ling, Leng Qing and Ye Mo on the totem black snake's head. In order to comfort the gray eagle that was trembling because of the appearance of the black snake, Wang Xiaojun did not get on the car, but rode the gray eagle and followed the black snake.

Sitting on the head of a monarch-level demon, even though Ye Mo was Zhu Meng's deputy chief guard, it was the first time for a young lady to get into a sedan chair. After careful observation, Ye Mo discovered the problem.

As the direct cause of the serious injury to Black Snake, Ye Mo, the deputy chief guard among the palace guards, naturally knew how serious the trauma Black Snake had suffered at that time. It had only been less than half a day, and not only was there no scar on his body, but his aura was also quite terrifying.

To be disrespectful, with the strength that Black Snake has shown now, even if he tied up Councillor Zhu Meng and the palace guards together, it would be hard to say whether it would be enough for Black Snake to have a plate of snacks.

Besides Ye Mo, Leng Qingxin, who knew more about the situation, had some guesses.

"The Totem Black Snake should have finished shedding its skin, right?"

Mo Fan patted the Totem Black Snake’s big head and said proudly:
"You are lucky. When you were attacked by that old bastard, the Totem Black Snake had just finished shedding its skin. If it had been a little later, we would probably have had to collect your corpses."

When it comes to Luo Mian, everyone is furious. Ye Mo said angrily:

"It would be fine if he didn't care about serving the country when he was in a high position, but he actually abused his power, causing the plague to spread. Even when the city was at stake, he still refused to repent and cut off the citizens' hope of recovery. It's good that Luo Mian died. I will definitely report this to the councillors and give an explanation to the people of Hangzhou and clear the name of Totem Black Snake."

Whether it was out of gratitude to Black Snake for saving his life or out of a desire to report the truth to his superiors, Ye Mo would report this incident to Zhu Meng truthfully and in detail.

Of course, what Ye Mo didn't notice was the strange expressions on Li Yu, Mo Fan and Ling Ling's faces when he talked about Luo Mian's death.

"It's better to treat this bastard as dead."

This was the unanimous opinion of the three people at the beginning. With Luo Mian's strength and connections, once he was captured alive and brought to trial, he would at most be sentenced to life imprisonment. Compared with the evil done by Lao Gou, it was still not quite equal. It would be better to let him be digested by the Totem Black Snake directly, as compensation for the crime they had suffered for no reason.

"Thank you very much, Deputy Guard Captain, for your righteous words."

Leng Qing, who knew nothing about the three people's thoughts, thanked Ye Mo. Although the Totem Black Snake had completed its molting, even if Zhu Meng had any bad intentions, it would not be possible to realize them. But Zhu Meng at least represented the will of the Forbidden City and the Supreme Court. If the Totem Black Snake wanted to stay safely in West Lake, it could not do without the cooperation of the other party.

"Where are we going?"

Suddenly, in order to wait for the Gray Eagle, the Black Snake's speed was not fast, and Ye Mo began to ask about the destination.

"Where to? The West Fortress, of course."

Mo Fan said with a smile:

"The Totem Black Snake has just finished molting and is at its peak strength. I am looking for a suitable opponent to practice with. The leader of the White Magic Eagle Tribe, the Silver Dome Lord, is a good match."

"Really?" Ye Mo's face lit up with joy. He was very clear about the pressure that the West Fortress's defense line was under. Even if all the super-class strongmen including Councillor Zhu Meng were on the battlefield, they still could not escape the situation of being suppressed by the Silver Dome Lord and his ten commanders. As time went on, the situation on the front line would only become more severe.

Ye Mo couldn't tell who was stronger between the Silver Dome Lord and the Totem Black Snake. He only knew that once the Totem Black Snake came to the rescue and coordinated all combat forces, the crisis in Hangzhou would surely be resolved.

When the group arrived at the West Fortress, the military wizards of the entire fortress were fighting fiercely with the White Magic Eagle Tribe. The Totem Black Snake didn't care about the problem of accidental injuries at all, and directly rushed into the battlefield with a very arrogant attitude. All the magic and attacks from the White Magic Eagle fell on the Totem Black Snake as if it was tickling. The Black Snake even showed a humane and comfortable expression. "Brother, let us go, at least we need to deliver medicine to the patient."

Under the stunned eyes of others, Li Yu called the Black Snake in a rather shocking way. As if to give Li Yu face, the totem Black Snake flew over the West Fortress, withdrew the shield on its head, and instantly made a 360-degree turn in the sky, dropping all the people on its head down.

"Ah ah ah ah..."

Mo Fan, who couldn't fly, shouted fiercely in mid-air. The next second, Li Yu grabbed him by the collar. A pair of wings shone brightly behind Li Yu.
"This place isn't that high. You won't die if you fall down. Why are you yelling so loudly?"

As he spoke, he lifted up the hopeless Ling Ling, who was in his other hand.

"Look at your partner, an eleven-year-old kid. He's much calmer than you."

Mo Fan caught Ling Ling's expression from the corner of his eye. Too lazy to refute, he just laughed and said nothing more.

When the three of them landed on the fortress, the crowd that had already noticed the commotion gathered around them. Zhu Meng's attitude was still as bad as ever, and he said in a stern tone:

"How did you and the Totem Black Snake appear on this battlefield? The situation just now was very dangerous, did you know that? Aren't you worried that you will be blasted into ashes by magic and the White Magic Eagle?"

Hearing this tone, even though he knew the other party had good intentions, Li Yu still couldn't help but scold Zhu Meng, the reckless man.
"Huh? Mr. Congressman, do you know that if we hadn't brought the Totem Black Snake to the rescue, your deputy chief guard, the deputy chief judge of the trial, the young man who stood up, and all the hopes of more than 10,000 plague patients would have been ruined by Congressman Luo Mian, whom you cooperated with at the time."

"You still have the nerve to question us?"

"What do you mean? What happened to Luo Mian?"

Zhu Meng's face changed. Although he had doubts about Luo Mian, he did not expect that the other party would be so cruel and actually dared to kill the herb-collecting team.

"You can ask your deputy captain of the guard later. As a student, I cannot stand the majesty of the senator."

Although it was obvious that Zhu Meng was in a hurry, Li Yu was still unwilling to give a direct answer. While Zhu Meng went to Ye Mo with a dark face to ask questions, Leng Qing escorted Wang Xiaojun to the quarantine area. Mo Fan, Li Yu and Lingling stood on the West Fortress, watching the rare battle between monarchs that they would never see in their lifetime together with all the stunned fortress mages.

As he watched, Li Yu openly complained about Zhu Meng.

"I was right about that congressman being a reckless man. He can't even tell the difference between the enemy and us. The Silver Dome Lord and the Totem Black Snake are basically on the same level of combat power. If the Totem Black Snake had really died at his hands, there would be no need to think about winning this battle today. All military mages should just fight to the death and arrange for the people to evacuate. One-tenth of the tens of millions of people survived because of the timely response from surrounding cities."

Although it was inappropriate to complain about powerful congressmen, Mo Fan and Lingling nodded silently, agreeing with Li Yu's point of view.

The two men saw with their own eyes how powerful the Totem Black Snake was. Councillor Luo Mian, a super-class mage, was swallowed by the Totem Black Snake after just a few rounds, while the White Magic Eagle's boss, the Silver Dome Lord, fought back and forth with the Totem Black Snake. At least they were opponents of the same level. It can be foreseen that if the Totem Black Snake was missing and a few super-class mages were left to face the Silver Dome Lord alone, Hangzhou would definitely be in great danger.

From this we can see what a bad move Zhu Meng's impatience in executing the Totem Black Snake was.

Of course, the three people's complaints about Zhu Meng were limited to this. Zhu Meng was at most reckless, and Luo Mian was naive to death. Although Li Yu looked down on both of these two councillors, with Luo Mian as a foil and with only one choice between the two, Zhu Meng's option was still satisfactory.
