Versatile Mage: Lord of Space

Chapter 213 Plague
"Teacher Tang Yue, I'm working so hard, shouldn't you consider marrying me or giving me some resources..." Lin Lan said half-jokingly.

Tang Yue bit her cherry-colored lips tightly, and before Lin Lan finished speaking, she responded firmly: "If this can really help everyone get through the difficulties, I... I am willing to agree to it."

Lin Lan was startled and waved her hands hurriedly: "Teacher Tang Yue, don't be impatient, I haven't finished speaking yet!"

His eyes unconsciously swept over Tang Yue's curvy figure, the plumpness faintly visible under her shirt, and the tight and round lines of her buttocks, and his heart couldn't help but ripple.

"Teacher Tang Yue, don't take it seriously. I actually have something else to say." Lin Lan tried to explain while trying to calm his inner turmoil.

He secretly warned himself: Don't let your imagination run wild. How can women be as real as resources? Resources are the hard truth. Lin Lan, you have to wake up.

Tang Yue looked straight into Lin Lan's eyes without a trace of mockery in them. She didn't seem to care about what Lin Lan hadn't finished saying.

She sighed softly, turned her gaze to the distance, and spoke affectionately: "My father died young, and I only remember that he often said that even if he was not by my side, he would still watch over me like the stars and protect me... I used to not understand what he meant until that time when I witnessed the figure of God under the water of West Lake. Lin Lan, perhaps you don't believe that God is really protecting this city. I admit that I am not sure whether it has ever made a mistake. We people of the tribe only worship it according to our ancestors' teachings, but it does protect me all the time. It has protected me for so many years, and now it is the weakest. I sincerely hope to do my best to protect it and help it through the difficulties. It means a lot to me. You are willing to take such a big risk to help me. I think no matter what you ask, I will not think it is excessive."

After hearing this, Lin Lan said no more and just gently comforted Tang Yue.

Although Tang Yue said that no request was excessive, Lin Lan knew that this was just her expression of gratitude. As for the resources, let's talk about it later.

Baizhen was originally just a post station. However, due to its location on the main transportation routes of various Anjie fortresses, it gradually developed from a small village into a prosperous town.

Such a town, located near the security zone and the military fortress, is naturally a place where all kinds of people gather. Merchants, hunting magicians, military magicians, members of the magic association, students in training, children of aristocratic families... Of course, there may also be wanted criminals and members of the Inquisition mixed in!

In the past, the security of Baizhen was not strict, and it could even be regarded as a black market that was not under the jurisdiction of any force. Whether it was the treasures obtained by the hunters in the wild or the spoils of the military, most of them would be traded here...

Now, everyone entering Baizhen has to be checked one by one. It seems that the plague is raging and the situation is quite serious.

This situation occurred just after the Totem Black Snake appeared, so people would definitely first associate the Totem Black Snake as the source of the plague.

"Brother, what stage has the plague here developed to?" Lin Lan said to the person in front of him while standing in the queue entering the town.

"Little brother, it seems that you know something about this plague. It is said that this plague is spreading rapidly and is being taken seriously by the higher-ups, but in fact, not many people are infected. Many people say that the totem black snake is the source, but I actually think that is unlikely. It has only been two days since the totem black snake appeared, so how could it cause such a plague in Bai Town? Now many people in Bai Town have been quarantined, and everyone entering the town is required to be checked to see if they are carrying this plague. At this stage of the plague's development, quite a few people are infected." said the dark-skinned man.

"Brother, you have some insightful ideas." Lin Lan nodded and said.

It seems that there are still many people with brains, and they don't blindly say that the totem black snake is the source of the plague.

Lin Lan and Tang Yue passed the examination easily and were in good health.

This time, the absconding with the totem snake was nothing more than a confrontation with Councillor Zhu Meng and Luo Mian. This was an ambiguous charge in itself, and it was not so exaggerated as to set up checkpoints at all major traffic points. Bai Town did not belong to any force. The Tribunal would either send someone to guard the door, or there was no reason to ask the people of Bai Town to contribute to their hidden danger strategy. "Teacher Tang Yue, I think we should find a hotel to inquire about the situation here." Lin Lan said to Tang Yue beside him.

Once you enter Baizhen, you will find that it is not as prosperous as a large trading place. There is not much traffic. The whole street is very deserted. There are no stalls at all. The shops are barely open, but few people can be seen coming in and out. The auction house is a little more optimistic, but it is far less than the usual traffic.
The panic caused by the plague led to this situation. There are many different opinions on this, but the impact is ultimately huge.

The entire prosperous Baizhen seemed to be shrouded in a layer of panic. Occasionally, a few figures passed by between the streets, they were also wearing masks and rushing around.

Until an antidote is found and evidence is uncovered, it is only a matter of time before the plague wreaks havoc.

"Okay, we are tired from traveling, let's find a place to rest."

……

As soon as I entered the hotel, I heard the proprietress complaining.

"Ever since that giant snake appeared, this plague has spread throughout Hangzhou. In my opinion, that snake is the source of the infection," said the hotel proprietress.

"How do you know that the plague was caused by that snake?" Tang Yue stopped and asked in confusion.

"This disease appeared a few days ago. Although I'm not a wizard, I know that most snakes are poisonous. Just think about it, if such a big snake spreads its venom, it would be a plague. In my opinion, we should find that big snake as soon as possible, otherwise if the plague continues to spread, people will start to die!" said the proprietress.

Tang Yue fell silent after hearing this, biting her lips and stopped talking...

"The snake only appeared in the urban area, how could it spread everywhere? Boss lady, you should pay attention to the price of gold and see if you can make a fortune by buying some gold and saving it." Lin Lan said.

Without waiting for the proprietress to say anything else, he took Tang Yue away.

Tang Yue believed that the plague had nothing to do with the black snake totem, but it was not poisonous and might spread the plague. Tang Zhong asked Tang Yue to take it away, not only to avoid Zhu Meng's execution, but also to take the source of the plague away from the city. Tang Yue thought so, so she did not refute.

Tang Yue was already in a state of panic, but Lin Lan knew the source of the plague.

It seems that we need to talk about it in detail. Lin Lan is actually very good at ideological work. It just takes some time.

Anyway, the night is long and there is plenty of time.
