Full-Time Magister: The Failed Knight, But the Dark Angel

Chapter 30 Ning Wei's reputation instilled fear in even super mages.

"Lord Mu, please spare us!"

Luo Mian bowed respectfully, smiling obsequiously, "I am indeed a scoundrel who wanted to profit from the strange blood of the Lingzhao Plague Rat."

"But I really didn't expect things to get out of control and cause a major epidemic."

"Thank you, Lord Mu, for finding the antidote, the Red Eagle Grass, which saved the people of Hangzhou and gave me a chance to atone for my sins!"

"I am willing to forever proclaim your merits in saving Hangzhou! I am willing to collect enough Red Eagle Grass to cure everyone's illnesses!"

Mu Ningwei smiled faintly, "I didn't expect you to have heard of me."

"Of course, I have long admired your name!"

Mu Ningwei: "If I weren't the one standing here, you'd probably bury the truth, right?"

Luo Mian quickly denied it, "Lord Mu, what are you saying? All I care about is my future. I certainly wouldn't hide something as important as Red Eagle Grass."

"At most, I'll take the credit for myself, hehehe."

Luo Mian smiled apologetically.

"You're honest, aren't you?"

"I dare not lie to Lord Mu."

Luo Mian bowed and scraped, "If you, sir, are willing to spare my life, I am willing to help you win votes for the National Government. In the future, I will be willing to serve you with any need you may have."

Mu Ningwei retorted, "Do you think I'd lack votes?"

"The adults certainly won't lack votes. Let alone four, they could easily get a hundred! What I mean is, I can campaign for your little girlfriend."

"No! Just name a random person, even a low-level mage, and I'll fight tooth and nail to get votes for her!"

Luo Mian patted his chest and guaranteed it.

"Tsk."

Mu Ningwei sighed softly, "You're so sensible, I feel bad killing you."

Luo Mian was overjoyed. "Thank you so much for sparing my life, sir! I swear I will never do such a thing again, and I will be a good person and benefit society."

Mu Ningwei shook his head slightly. "You've got a good way with words. I'll give you a choice: either be my dog, or die."

Choose.

Luo Mian's face was grim, and he barely suppressed his anger. "Lord Mu, I am, after all, a high-level mage..."

Mu Ningwei interrupted, "I know, otherwise why would I be talking to you? Hurry up and choose."

Luo Mian clenched his fists and shouted:

"I, Luo Mian, have dominated Hangzhou for decades. I am a figure of considerable importance, and my abilities and methods far surpass those of Tang Zhong, that good-for-nothing who rose to power through his family."

"But now I'm faced with this choice..."

"This is wonderful! It's my honor that Lord Mu is willing to accept me!"

"I, Luo Mian, am willing to pledge my loyalty to Lord Shepherd!"

Mu Ningwei remained silent for half a second, then took out the Dark Cross. "Don't resist."

Luo Mian sensed an extremely evil and dark power behind him, and his pupils dilated.

A dark cross bound him, and dense threads wrapped around his body.

The Dark Star Sea in the spiritual world sensed the dark aura outside, and more than two thousand stars collectively ceased their operation, daring not to move an inch.

What on earth is this incredibly dense and terrifying shadow substance?

Luo Mian felt a chill run down his spine. It was precisely because he was a Shadow-type Super-Rank Mage that he could understand how terrifying the Shadow Magic Mu Ningwei possessed was!

He was extremely grateful that he had been able to bend and stretch, and had not become an enemy of Mu Ningwei.

Otherwise, they would probably have been killed on the spot by now.

With such terrifying shadow magic, it's no wonder Parthenon dared not touch him.

But isn't Parthenon a holy site for white magic?

How did they manage to cultivate Mu Ningwei, this dark magic prodigy?!

Mu Ningwei manipulated the shadow threads, which burrowed into Luo Mian's body, hiding them in his heart and skull, and then controlled them to disperse.

The dark cross dissipated, and Mu Ningwei did not implant any control measures in Luo Mian, letting him go.

After all, Luo Mian was just an ordinary super-level mage.

If Mu Ningwei wants to, it can be resolved at any time.

Luo Mian, however, looked ashen-faced.

He believed that a control device must have been implanted in his body.

His heart and skull were still cold and chilly, as if he would die if Mu Ningwei had the slightest thought to activate dark magic!

The reason I couldn't sense any dark magic within my body must be because Mu Ningwei's skills were too advanced and I was too incompetent!

Luo Mian sighed deeply, forced himself to cheer up, and said with a forced smile:

"Lord Mu, I will go back immediately and organize people to collect Red Eagle Grass to curb the epidemic."

"And proclaim to everyone that it was your compassion and superb medical skills that led you to discover the antidote, Red Eagle Grass, and save everyone in the city."

How about this?

Mu Ningwei nodded. "I will collect the red eagle grass; you don't need to lift a finger. From now on, you must do good deeds in my name every year. If I find out you've done something wrong, death will be your only fate."

Luo Mian's face stiffened, and he quickly nodded in agreement:

"I am willing to spend the rest of my life atoneing for my sins!"

"My lord, I'll take my leave now, so as not to disturb you and your girlfriend's time together."

Once Luo Mian received permission, he immediately transformed into a black shadow and ran away.

Mu Ningwei felt it was a pity that he hadn't been able to test the power of the light system.

However, subduing Luo Mian would be more beneficial.

It's not that Mu Ning only cares about an ordinary super-level mage.

Instead, he controlled Luo Mian to do good deeds in the name of Mu Ningwei, which facilitated the collection of divine power and benefited the whole society.

Luo Mian survived because he was shrewd enough.

If Mu Ningwei had made one wrong choice, he would already be using the soul of a super-level mage to feed his new pet, the Dark Pseudo-Dragon.

Shaking his head, Mu Ningwei's figure disappeared into the shadows as he went to protect Mu Nujiao during her training.

For Mu Ningwei, the Hangzhou incident was not as important as accompanying Mu Nujiao, who had been invited to the city.

……

On the fifth day, Tang Yue confidently said she didn't need Mu Ningwei's help.

The online discussion about the black snake being the source of the epidemic is intensifying.

Almost all the people believed that the venom of the black snake caused the outbreak of disease.

Zhu Meng went to see Tang Zhong every few days, but each time it ended badly.

Day .

Tang Zhong, looking exhausted, found Tang Yue.

"Take the guardian spirit with you, I can hardly control Zhu Meng anymore."

Tang Yue was speechless. "Uncle, has the situation become that urgent?"

Tang Zhong sighed, "Everyone is supporting Zhu Meng, blinded by rumors. Quickly, you only have tonight to put the guardian spirit into the totem bead and keep it there until it finishes its molting period."

"But after tonight, I won't be able to control Zhu Meng, and he will definitely send people to arrest you."

"Although high-level mages can be sensed by the Xuan Snake, Zhu Meng can command a large number of mid-level mages. Since you've just broken through to the high-level, it's best to find a reliable helper to act with, so you can have someone to look after you."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yue immediately thought of Mo Fan.

Mo Fan is very strong, and as a mid-level mage, he will not arouse the Xuan Snake's suspicion.

Unfortunately, he wasn't in Hangzhou, and it was a bit too late to ask him for help.

Tang Yue was in a state of turmoil and went to West Lake to put the black snake into the totem bead.

She doesn't trust anyone in her family.

The news that the Black Serpent has entered its molting period will leak out and attract Zhu Meng's attention; it must be because a member of the clan informed on it.

In the end, Tang Yue gritted her teeth and set off alone with the totem bead.

As dawn broke, Zhu Meng received intelligence from his informant that Tang Yue had escaped with the totem beads. He immediately gathered the elite mid-level mages to arrest Tang Yue.

Zhu Meng then found Luo Mian and expressed his dissatisfaction.

"I've been the one carrying out the work all this time, so hurry up and get to it! We'll be able to eliminate this scourge, the Black Serpent, soon!"

Luo Mian remained calm and composed, saying, "No, Zhu Meng, I am doing something more important."

"What could be more important than eliminating the Black Serpent?"

"Solve the epidemic."

Congratulations! "Have you found a solution to the epidemic?"

Luo Mian nodded. "Do you remember Mu Ningwei that I told you about? He's a true Parthenon native; he's found the antidote, and I've been working with him these past few days."

"The antidote will be officially put into use tomorrow. At the latest, the plague will be eradicated the day after tomorrow."

Zhu Meng said earnestly, "Saving lives is the most important thing. You continue with your work. Mu Ningwei? I didn't expect it would be him who saved everyone. I underestimated him."

"Tang Yue is nothing, she can't escape my grasp."

As Zhu Meng had predicted, things turned out just as he had expected.

Five days later.

Tang Yue was captured, and Zhu Meng used Tang Yue as leverage, forcing Xuan She to submit.

This is why Tang Yue rushed over and begged Mu Ningwei when he returned to Hangzhou.
