Full-Time Magister: Dark Throne

"So it was you!"

Zhu Meng stared wide-eyed at He An's somewhat familiar handsome face.

Mid-April last year.

The above-mentioned important figures suddenly named him and asked him to go to Yunling to guard the mine, and also mentioned that special attention should be paid to protecting the safety of an exchange student.

And that student was He An!

"Mingzhu Academy, He An."

Zhu Meng stared at He An's gentle smiling face, his thoughts churning.

Why would this prodigy, favored by so many important figures, appear here?

Who, or even which few, important figures are standing behind him?

What are they trying to do?

These are all issues that Zhu Meng needs to consider.

There's no way around it; the powerful figures behind this kid are truly extraordinary.

If you make even the slightest mistake, you could lose your seat as a member of parliament in no time!

Tang Zhong, who was about to step forward to introduce He An, froze on the spot.

No, how could Zhu Meng, who wields immense power in the magical court, know Tang Yue's student's name?

Why didn't you tell me you had such amazing students earlier?

Tang Yue, who was standing next to him, was also completely bewildered.

"You came here to...?" Zhu Meng asked cautiously, adopting a very humble posture.

Seeing his demeanor, He An understood that he might have misunderstood something, so he could only smile and shake his head, saying:

"Rest assured, Representative Zhu Meng, I am not here on behalf of anyone above. I simply want to get to the bottom of this."

"The truth?" Zhu Meng stroked his thick beard and frowned.

So far, all the clues have pointed to the giant snake in the center of the formation. He An has only just arrived in Song City. What truth could he possibly know?

You also said there were no big shots backing you!

With this thought, Zhu Meng suddenly felt his mind become much clearer.

Good grief, you almost got scammed!

Please explain in detail.

Before Tang Zhong could speak, Zhu Meng's brows relaxed, and he began to speak.

"Everyone has been deceived by the scheme set up by Councilor Luo Mian. The epidemic has nothing to do with the totem Xuan Snake. The cause of the epidemic is Councilor Luo Mian's act of passing off blood serum containing the strange blood of the Lingzhao Plague Rat as normal blood serum in order to seek personal gain."

He An waved his hand and released a batch of unopened blood serum from a spatial bracelet, gesturing to Zhu Meng.

"This is the last batch of problematic blood serum destined for White Town and West Fortress. I have intercepted it. Mr. Lu and his team can take a few samples for testing."

"The antidote for Lingzhao plague is Eagle Red Grass, which grows in Xiling. I also collected some on my way here. After Mr. Lu verified it, we can start making the antidote at any time."

He An picked up a handful of Eagle Red Grass and a spatial bracelet filled with Eagle Red Grass and showed them to everyone before continuing to speak.

Listening to He An's speech, Zhu Meng secretly wiped away a cold sweat.

Fortunately, I recognized He An and patiently listened to him finish speaking; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Your Excellency, the West Fortress requests urgent support! A monarch-level creature has appeared in the White Eagle Legion, and we have lost all our air combat power. Only high-level mages can stop it!" Palace guard Li Jin hurriedly walked up to Councilor Zhu Meng and said.

The origin of the epidemic has been explained.

He An's appearance likely indicates that the powerful figure behind the scenes needs to protect the totem, the Xuan Snake.

The current Zhu Meng is no longer conflicted like in the original story. This councilor, who controls the most powerful magic force in the entire Song City, made a decisive choice.

"Release the punishment of the Thunder Ring!"

"Palace Guard Commander Wu Pingjing, listen to my command! Immediately lead the Palace Guard to the western fortress front line. If even a single White Demon Eagle is allowed into Anjie, you will be held accountable!"

Councilor Zhu Meng turned to face the palace guards and issued orders in a strong and clear voice.

Convicting a member of parliament is not something that can be done quickly, nor do they have the authority to do so.

In comparison, the White Eagle Legion entrenched outside the Western Fortress is far more dangerous.

Once the White Demon Eagle Legion, led by the monarch-level Silver Sky Lord, breaches the West Fortress, the entire Song City will fall!

"yes!"

Behind him, all the palace guards responded in unison, using their own means to fly into the air and head to the western fortress to provide support.

"Stop looking, you're so envious. If you get a flying summoned beast someday, you can be like them too," He An teased, nudging Mo Fan's arm with his elbow.

Mo Fan gently shook his head.

He has Old Wolf, which is enough. Summoned beasts with the ability to fly are not cheap. He would rather use that money to buy Xin Xia a Winged Magic Tool.

Oh, right, speaking of magical artifacts.

Mo Fan found a pair of magical arms from somewhere.

The jet-black color was perfect for hiding among the black clothes that He An liked to wear.

"Didn't I take your spot at the Sacred Spring? Consider this compensation."

Mo Fan handed the pair of magical arms to He An with a grin.

"I've been preparing this for quite a while. I originally wanted to give it to you as a birthday present, but I couldn't find anyone to give it to. I also didn't expect your skills to improve so quickly. It's probably not of much use to you anymore, right?"

Mo Fan scratched his head and said with some emotion.

"No, it's very useful!"

He An smiled as he took the arm magic tool, branded it with the magic tool mark, and attached it to his arm.

The size is just right.

"What do we do next?"

"First, feed the snake boss well, then go and shoot down all those white demon eagles."

He An took out all the remaining problematic blood serum and laid it out on the Su Causeway.

Blood serum containing the blood of the Lingzhao Plague Rat is poisonous to normal humans, but it is a great tonic for the Totem Black Serpent, which is known as the "ancestor of all poisons"!

Once the totem serpent finishes its molting period, killing a little white eagle is just a piece of cake for an ancient serpent king of supreme monarch level.

-----------------

On the other side, at Representative Luo Mian's personal residence.

Due to some sudden emergencies, Councilor Luo Mian has not yet had time to go to the Su Causeway to direct the snake-slaying formation.

He simply handed over his men to Zhu Meng and then hurriedly returned to handle the situation.

"Snapped!"

"Damn it, do you know how important that batch of blood serum is?"

Luo Mian swung his arm and slapped his kneeling subordinate across the face.

With his super-level mage physique, a single slap sent his subordinate flying more than three meters away.

His subordinates were also among the best of the best, but they didn't dare to breathe loudly in front of Councilor Luo Mian, who was in a fit of rage.

He hurriedly got up and continued to kneel quietly on the ground, ignoring the blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

"Councilor Luo Mian, everything we've done has been exposed by that poison master. He also stole the problematic blood serum. Now Councilor Zhu Meng and the Inquisition are tied up with the White Eagle Legion at the Western Fortress. Should we take advantage of the chaos and escape?"

Wang Yi, the deputy presiding judge who had been watching Zhu Meng and He An's conversation, pushed open the door and walked in, speaking in a low voice.

run?

I'll run away from you!

Everything Luo Mian had worked for his entire life—power, money, family—was in Songcheng!

Where else could they run to?

At this moment, Luo Mian was like a gambler who had lost everything, with only one option in mind: to go all in.

"How much combat power and strategic resources do I have left? Take them all to the West Fortress to help defend against the White Eagle Legion!"

Luo Mian gritted his teeth, determined to gamble away all his savings!

This is his last chance.

As long as one succeeds in resisting the Silver Dome Lord, the production of poisonous blood serum is nothing more than a trivial matter in the eyes of those important figures.

In any case, the cure for the epidemic has been found, and this incident will soon be quelled.

Once the information is blocked, time will pass.

Luo Mian was also a famous councilor in Songcheng and a hero who resisted the invasion of the White Demon Eagle!

"And that poison master who solved the plague—find him and kill him!"

Luo Mian stared at Wang Yi with red eyes and said.

Originally, by the time the last batch of poison took effect, all those poisoned would have died, and the Totem Serpent would also have died then.

With no one to testify since the dead, everyone is happy.

Zhu Meng will rise to a higher position because of killing the monarch Xuan She, and Luo Mian will also gain more power to completely suppress the Tang family faction!

What a wonderful plan.

If it weren't for this poison master who inexplicably came to disrupt things, my plan wouldn't have been exposed.

"Your Excellency, that poison master must be surrounded by many guards. Can we really kill him?"

Deputy Chief Judge Wang Yi lowered his head and said in a strange tone.

Luo Mian looked at his loyal old subordinate with some surprise.

This is the first time in so many years that he has not directly carried out his orders but instead raised questions.

It seems this incident has had such a huge impact that even the morale of his own subordinates has changed.

Luo Mian gently patted Wang Yi's shoulder and whispered in his ear:

"Remember this: only the dead bring true peace of mind."
