Full-Time Mage: Starting with Gengar, selected for the National Tournament

Chapter 67 The Front Lines Are in Crisis

Seeing that Chu Ming had agreed to his request.

Tang Yue was overjoyed.

Because for her.

The totem beast is not only the village's guardian deity, but also an elder who watched her grow up.

And this molting period happens once every ten years.

To outsiders, the existence of God might seem like a huge threat.

But Tang Yue was one of the few members of the Tang family who had access to the gods.

We've spent so much time together.

She believed it more than anyone else.

God is a true guardian deity!

It cares about this city more than humans do!

According to the totem murals in the village.

Centuries ago.

God has begun to protect this city.

At that time, humans were incredibly weak and unable to use powerful magic to fight against demons. They could not even protect their own safety, let alone guard the city.

God appeared in the city earlier.

It was just an accident caused by anxiety during the molting period.

God did not cause any casualties.

But now, instead of calming down, public opinion has become even more heated.

Tang Yue firmly believed that someone was up to something behind the scenes.

Chu Ming is not a member of Tangjia Village.

They also had no connection whatsoever with any faction in Hangzhou.

Asking him to come and help is the best option.

Tang Yue was deeply impressed by Chao He's extraordinary investigative skills and formidable combat capabilities during the last arrest.

"If someone is really stirring things up in the shadows, the public opinion campaign is just a prelude; this is probably the real countermeasure."

Chu Ming took out his phone, found a new message he had just seen in the taxi, and handed it to Tang Yue.

"The Great Serpent Incident? The Plague of Whitetown!"

"According to official information, the bodies of several hunter mages have been discovered; they died from the plague, which is still spreading..."

Tang Yue looked at the news that had just come out ten minutes ago, and as she narrated it, her eyes were filled with rising anger.

"absurd!!"

She shouted angrily, "Someone must be framing Sky Serpent!!!"

Chu Ming opened the search bar on his phone.

Check the relevant local real-time news again.

This news is a bit too strange.

It should be noted that the public information he had previously seen online about the trial was all about maintaining stability and blocking all negative news about the giant snake.

This news article, however, is clearly contradicting the previous one.

soon.

After a thorough search.

He discovered that the "official" entity mentioned in the news report was not the trial committee.

It was the Magic Association of Hangzhou.

"Do you know anything about the local magic association, or their superiors?" Chu Ming asked.

"The Magic Association? I only know that they have a councilor named Luo Mian, and they've always had a pretty good relationship with our Inquisition."

Chu Ming narrowed his eyes: "Luo Mian?"

Just then, Tang Yue's cell phone rang in her pocket.

She answered the phone.

His brows furrowed, and his expression became serious.

"Something terrible has happened. Come with me." Tang Yue hung up the phone.

"Where to?"

"Trial Chamber".

……

A short while later.

Tang Yue then led Chu Ming to the council hall.

And Chu Ming came to help.

Tang Zhong also learned about this from Tang Yue, so he arranged for her to sit aside and listen in.

Soon, a middle-aged man with a thick beard walked into the conference room, slammed his hand heavily on the table, and shouted angrily, "Tang Zhong!!"

"Even now, you're still protecting that totem serpent. Have you even grasped the current situation?"

"The news's out; there's been an epidemic!"

"It's obvious that the totem serpent you're protecting has become so frenzied that it can no longer control its venom!!"

Tang Zhong's gaze met the middle-aged man's, his eyes resolute: "No, that can't be. The totem black serpent has inhabited West Lake for centuries, and nothing like this has ever happened before... This matter must be thoroughly investigated!"

Zhu Meng sneered: "Heh, Judge Tang, it seems you think too leniently of me. My strategy for eliminating hidden dangers is to nip them in the bud."

"Now that an epidemic has emerged, I, Zhu Meng, will absolutely not gamble with the lives of the people!"

"I came from the Magic Court not to discuss matters with you, but to eliminate the threat to Hangzhou. I urge you to hand over the totem serpent as soon as possible so we can deal with it!"

Tang Yue, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't hold back any longer and shouted loudly.

"You have no evidence whatsoever. On what basis do you conclude that the plague was caused by the totem serpent?!"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Tang Yue, mind your manners."

Judge Tang Zhong glanced at Tang Yue, shook his head, and then looked at Zhu Meng: "Everything must be based on evidence. With the capabilities of our Totem, if we really wanted to create a virus, it wouldn't be this kind of small-scale plague."

"It is indeed a bit strange, after all, this has only just happened, and we need to investigate it further," a peacemaker said with a smile.

"Investigate? I've lost my patience!" Zhu Meng frowned and said coldly.

Tang Zhong frowned, feeling increasingly agitated upon seeing Zhu Meng's resolute expression.

But the Tang family, who have guarded the totem Black Serpent for generations.

The guardian deity was handed over to outsiders.

He can't.

For a moment, the meeting fell into a stalemate, yet also a tense atmosphere.

Just then.

A palace guard walked in from outside, forgetting to even knock, and approached Zhu Meng with an anxious expression.

"Congressman Zhu Meng, something has happened at the western fortress front; urgent support is needed!"

"The White Eagle Legion has launched a massive invasion, led by a monarch-level creature!"

"Under the aura of that monarch white demon eagle's bloodline, all our sky eagles have gone out of control, and the western fortress's aerial combat power has been completely lost!"

"Although all the high-level mages in the vicinity have been dispatched, their numbers are still insufficient to stop the invasion of the entire demon army."

"If we don't receive strong reinforcements now, the White Eagle Legion, led by its monarch, White Eagle, will appear over the city, and then..."

Zhu Meng's eyes widened: "How did things suddenly become so serious???"

"Councilor Zhu Meng, please make a decision quickly!" the guard said anxiously.

Upon hearing this urgent military report...

Zhu Meng pondered for ten seconds, then his gaze toward Tang Zhong was no longer so aggressive.

For the epidemic in White Town, low-level mages and doctors can be sent to help with isolation and control.

But what if the western fortress falls?

At that time, the entire city of Hangzhou, along with all its towns, will become a paradise overrun by demons.

And on the side.

Luo Mian, who had been silent all along, seemed to have seen through Zhu Meng's decision, and said with some anxiety in his eyes.

"Councilor Zhu, we need to control the Black Serpent first."

"If we just leave it like this, given the venomous and infectious nature of the black snake, if we let it drag on any longer, the entire city of Hangzhou will be ravaged by disease."

"For the sake of the bigger picture, go to the front lines to provide support first!" Zhu Meng said solemnly. "Have the low-level mages and healers control the situation in White Town for now!"

He looked at Tang Zhong, held up one finger, and said in an extremely firm tone, "I'm giving you one last day. By then, you either hand over the Totem Serpent yourselves, or... I'll do it myself!"

Done.

Zhu Meng immediately led a group of palace guards and flew out of the building in unison.

Luo Mian watched Zhu Meng's departing figure with a hint of regret in his eyes, and then quickly left the conference room with his men.

Next to the conference room.

Chu Ming crossed his arms and watched all of this, pondering as Luo Mian's departing figure walked away.

"Luo Mian..."

Regarding Chapter 65, which discusses the fusion of magical strength, some readers feel that replacing "Forbidden Spell" with "Super-Rank" would be more appropriate.

After some consideration, the author concluded that super-order is indeed better.

The previous text has been revised.

If you feel that some settings are problematic and can be changed, the author will consider it.
