Becoming a wet nurse is not the end of the story.

Faced with that eerie smile, Aria felt a chill run down her spine. However, seeing that Lin Xueyin had already jumped off the carriage and was walking slowly forward, Aria had no choice but to jump down as well, letting the others drive the carriages inside while she and Lin Xueyin went to see the owner of the fortress.

Volume VI: The Rebellion in Panko: Chapter Ten: Arrival in Lamo

Inside the small fortress, Lin Xueyin replenished her food and water supplies before continuing her journey. Nothing happened, which made Lin Xueyin secretly regret that she had been too cautious before.

After that, it was just another desolate place, but soon the city of Lamo came into view. Looking at the magnificent city, Aria finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yukine, we've finally arrived."

"Yes, it's really not easy." Looking at this county city, having already seen super-large cities like the capital, the initial awe was no longer felt when facing this city with its high city walls.

"Everyone, we've arrived. We'll be entering the city soon. Be careful..."

Before he could finish speaking, several cold spears were already erected on the city wall, and arrows, like starlight, were aimed at them from afar.

"Whoever you are, get out of here immediately."

"Huh? We're residents of this county, could you please let us... ah..."

A shield radiating divine light appeared on the people of the county, while beneath their feet lay several arrows that had already fallen to the ground.

"No matter who you are, leave now."

"I am an Imperial Baron. I have important information to inform the Acting Officer and request that you open the gates immediately so that we can enter the city."

The title "Imperial Baron" left the soldiers looking at each other in dismay. They really didn't dare to act rashly against these privileged nobles, and had no choice but to shout down at the city walls.

"Wait a moment, we'll go down and inform them right away."

"Pastor Lin, they're not really going to stop us from going in, are they?"

Worried, Lilia gripped Lin Xueyin's arm tightly, looking anxiously at the wall that separated them between life and death.

"Ah, don't worry, it'll definitely be fine. We can go in in a bit."

Sure enough, it wasn't long before the tightly closed gate slowly opened. Dozens of soldiers rushed out, vigilantly scanning their surroundings. At this moment, a man dressed in the uniform of a councilor slowly walked out of the gate, protected by numerous guards. He approached Lin Xueyin and the others, took the seal handed to him by the girl, and then looked at her with surprise...

The man performed complex and elegant etiquette slowly and rhythmically, “Pasco, the acting governor of Lower Lamoshire, is pleased to meet the Baron.”

"Um, it's nice to meet you." She looked awkwardly at the man in front of her, especially when she felt the little girl next to her looking at her with expectant eyes, she felt conflicted.

Honestly, she immediately struck such a foul pose; I have absolutely no idea how to do it. Especially seeing the little girl's adoring gaze, Lin Xueyin felt a pang of sympathy.

"Your Excellency, please go inside quickly, it is very dangerous outside the city."

"Oh, okay, okay, we'll go in now."

Although the other party hesitated to speak, Lin Xueyin still took it upon herself to let all the refugees behind her enter the city.

"Your Excellency, it is the time of the plague, and I am worried..."

"You should know what this plague is all about, shouldn't you?" Turning around, she looked coldly at the acting officer. He clearly knew what the plague was all about, yet he still allowed the situation to escalate. This person's motives were simply despicable.

"I...I didn't want to either, but what can we do at this point? The entire Lamo County has become the territory of the monsters."

"A monster?" As the group walked inside, Lin Xueyin heard some news that concerned her greatly.

"That's right, they are monsters. As the plague worsens, some animals in the wild have also become infected. However, these animals, which should have been gentle, have become extremely ferocious."

"Then why don't you hunt them down? I think if you have the capability, hunting them down wouldn't be a problem, would it?"

However, Pasco said with a wry smile, "I also wanted to send people to hunt them down, but those animals were all like ghosts. Not only did their temperament change, but their strength and speed also became ridiculously exaggerated. All the people we sent became their food."

"Huh? All the people you sent out were killed by those animals. What happened? Didn't you investigate?"

“How dare we investigate? It’s not just outside, but even in the city, some people infected with the plague have become those monsters. If we hadn’t worked together, the whole city would probably be the territory of those monsters now.”

Why does this plot feel familiar? But Lin Xueyin can't quite place it.

"So the city is safe now?"

"Not really. Some plague patients have been temporarily isolated in a corner. If that kind of mutation occurs again, we will kill the other party immediately."

He paused briefly before continuing, "However, there are still some undiscovered people hiding in the shadows inside the city, so it's not entirely safe inside."

As he spoke, he glanced at the refugees on the side, as if to say that these people were also among those suspected.

"Alright, the people I brought are not infected. If you don't believe them, then you can at least believe me, the Baron."

"My name is Lin Xueyin."

As if worried that the other party might not trust her, Lin Xueyin directly gave him her name, hoping that this name would give him a great sense of reassurance.

"Ah, I never imagined you were that holy priest. It's so wonderful that you could come here."

Whether he was truly at ease or not, this man was, after all, a baron of the empire, a nobleman, and Pasco's expression was at least filled with excitement and hope.

Arya walked beside Lin Xueyin, watching the two of them talk back and forth about the current situation. She shook her head with a wry smile. Lilia also leaned forward, looking at the girl she admired so much. When would she be able to be like her?

Several taxis, carrying some supplies, slowly entered the city. The people around them all looked at these refugees who had just entered with vigilance and disgust, as if they were looking at some terrifying beings.

Everyone noticed this, but they still didn't quite understand why the place they longed for was so resistant to their entry.

“Your Excellency, this used to be a restaurant. The owner is dead, so you can stay here and these people can also be accommodated.”

Lin Xueyin looked at the restaurant, remained silent for a moment, and then happily thanked him, "Let's go in and rest first. Tomorrow I will help you purify those people infected with the plague."

Volume VI The Rebellion of Pankor: Chapter Eleven Purification

Sitting quietly to one side, Lin Xueyin watched as the main hall descended into chaos. She only now realized that the plague was no longer confined to Lamo County; several surrounding counties had experienced similar outbreaks. It was even said that some neighboring territories had also seen the same situation.

The only place that's somewhat better off is Pancoring, but it's unclear when the plague will spread there, or rather, whether those people will extend their evil hands into that area.

"Mr. Pascoe, how long can our current food reserves in the city last?"

Lin Xueyin didn't care about the affairs of other territories. The problems here hadn't been solved yet, so how could she have time to go to other places? Moreover, the larger the area affected by the plague, the less she could do. Lin Xueyin understood that what lay before her had now become a huge chasm.

“Baron, you said you can purify those infected people, let’s go over there first.”

They did not answer Lin Xueyin's question, but everyone understood that the food reserves in Lamo City could not be that plentiful. At this time, they had to save every minute and try to completely eliminate these sources of danger as soon as possible.

Well, for some reason, Lin Xueyin had a feeling that she was playing a villain this time, which made her a little excited.

"Sir, can we really be cured? We don't want to be here."

"Mom, I'm scared..."

"Honey, will we have a future together?"

"Brother, when can we get out of here?"

A series of sounds rang in Lin Xueyin's ears, causing the girl to pause in her steps. Her previous lightness vanished, and as she looked at the ragged people in front of her, her heart felt as if it had been struck by a heavy blow.

Gently taking the girl's hand and smiling slightly at her, Lin Xueyin felt a little relieved of her inner tension under Ailiya's special comfort.

“Aria, I can help them, I definitely can help them.”

"Yes, I know, Yukine, do your best, you can definitely do it."

A sacred light shone from the raised hand, and a resolute gaze shone with unwavering determination. A colossal pillar descended from the sky, enveloping the entire city as if by divine intervention. The ragged people before them felt an unprecedented sense of comfort, as if some evil had been cleansed from their bodies.

Before Lin Xueyin could even move after finishing work, she was hugged by Ailiya with concern. Looking at her worried eyes, a warm feeling seemed to flow through her heart as well.

"Aria, I'm fine, don't worry."

“Mr. Pasco, please release these people. I have finished treating them. If you are worried, you can let them stay in my restaurant, which will also allow me to monitor them temporarily.”

"Haha, how could I not be at ease? But it's good for them to stay at your place, so they can receive treatment nearby, right?"

With a slight smile, Lin Xueyin pulled back Ailiya, who was about to speak, and said, "Lord Pasco, they've gone in. I might not have enough food on my end. Could you...?"

"Don't worry, now that the Baron has come to me, we will naturally ensure you have a sufficient food supply. Rest assured, the aid from the capital city will arrive in a few days."

"Then I'm relieved. By the way, weren't there still quite a few people hiding? Why don't we arrange for them to come to my place as soon as possible, and then you can..."

"Ah, good idea, Your Excellency. I'll make the arrangements right away. Don't worry about the rest; I'll take care of everything perfectly."

Lin Xueyin watched Pasco leave in a hurry, shook her head helplessly, and then turned to leave with Aria, but suddenly heard the people behind her calling her back.

"My lord, I have no way to repay your life-saving grace. Please accept me as your attendant."

"Huh? What's going on?" Lin Xueyin turned around in a daze and saw a somewhat old but very strong man kneeling on the ground.

At this moment, the others also knelt on the ground, not to show that they wanted to be his followers, but simply to express their gratitude for his previous treatment.

For them, it was just a skill release; for them, it might be a turning point in their lives, a matter of life and death.

"Alright, please get up. It was just a small favor, no need for such formality."

"Sir, thank you. Your small act of kindness is a matter of life and death for us."

Aria gently patted Yukine's hand, a proud smile on her face. It was something that made her very proud that her friend was so loved.

"Alright, get up quickly and pack your things. Follow these guards to my temporary residence. There are quite a few other people there, so you can get along well."

"Yes, thank you for saving my life, sir."

As for the person who knelt down earlier, Lin Xueyin neither directly agreed nor refused. Since he dared to say that, it proved that he had the confidence. However, whether she needed it or not was another matter.

At this moment, a pharmacist arrived carrying a basket of unknown contents. Seeing everyone kneeling and then noticing the smiling girl on the side, he was somewhat puzzled.

“Brother Karnaga, you’re back! Look, I’m all better now, everything’s alright.”

A little girl saw the man and happily broke free from her mother's arms, ran to his side, and turned around in front of him as if showing off.

Similarly, they looked at the newcomer with some confusion, wondering who he was and why he was here. Judging from their expressions, they were all very familiar with this young man in a tattered magic robe.

"This... the plague has really been lifted! I can't believe someone actually lifted the plague! This is wonderful! Everyone is saved."

"Who are you?" Lin Xueyin looked at the somewhat agitated Karnaga, her eyes narrowing slightly. This person was someone she couldn't help but care about.

The plague itself was man-made, and its sudden appearance could not help but make Lin Xueyin suspicious of its motives.

"My name is Karnaga, and I'm a water mage, but I'm still an apprentice." He scratched his head shyly as he approached Lin Xueyin and Aria.

"Did you rescue all these people? That's wonderful."

"My lord, if it weren't for him helping us alleviate the plague within our bodies, we would probably have turned into those monsters long ago."

Sure enough, someone was helping these people. She had been wondering why these people had been suffering from the plague but hadn't experienced any abnormal changes. It turned out that it was thanks to this man.

"I am Lin Xueyin. It seems you have some knowledge of this plague. Why don't you come back with me and we can find a solution together?"

"Yes, I couldn't ask for more."
