Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

"But..." Tang Yue still wanted to go back. She was still worried about the plague. Now that the Sky Serpent had reached a safe place, she should think of a solution to the plague. The Sky Serpent's venom mainly came from its blood. If she could bring its blood back and find a solution through this venomous blood source, if the plague was indeed caused by it, then she could find a solution.

"No buts. From the moment it was identified as a potential threat, regardless of whether the plague was caused by the Xuan Snake, it will be the primary target," Cao Le added.

All right....

Tang Yue valued the life and death of the Xuan Snake highly. She didn't want the Xuan Snake, whom she regarded as an elder, to be killed by Zhu Meng and the others. Moreover, she always believed that the plague was definitely not caused by the Xuan Snake.

“But if I’m not mistaken, the palace guards will be here soon…” Tang Yue added.

"Then let's leave here first," Cao Le said again.

“I think I still have to go back with them…” Tang Yue said.

Seeing Tang Yue's reaction, Cao Le had no choice but to say, "Then take the blood of the Black Serpent back with you, but remember, no matter what, do not think about calling back the Black Serpent."

As long as the Xuan Snake isn't summoned back, Tang Yue will at most be imprisoned for a period of time. What Cao Le needs to do is find a Lingzhao Plague Rat. Once he finds this rat, brings it back, and analyzes its blood, the Xuan Snake's predicament can be directly resolved.

Similarly, this would be a good opportunity to request highly nourishing substances from the military to help the Black Serpent recover. That would be killing two birds with one stone!

...

After Tang Yue was taken away, Cao Le went to search for the Lingzhao Plague Rat. Of course, along the way, Cao Le also found a kind of Eagle Red Grass. Then he rushed back at full speed.

Upon returning, Cao Le found that the Heavenly Demon Eagle had already begun its attack on the city. Learning of this, Cao Le hurriedly delivered the Eagle Red Grass and the rat's strange blood he had brought back to Mr. Lu, who was in charge of antibody research.

Because he brought it in promptly, the test results came out half a day later.

After it was confirmed that the matter had nothing to do with the Xuan Snake, Tang Yue was naturally released. Once outside, she looked at Cao Le with an almost desperate desire to repay him with her body.

Of course, as an extremely warm-hearted man, marriage is out of the question.

The current issue is the harvesting of Eagle Red Grass, because all the Sky Eagles had intended to betray the Heavenly Demon Eagles during their attack, so almost none of them were spared and they were all executed.

Fortunately, a boy named Wang Xiaojun said that he had a gray eagle, which he had not killed but released back into the wild.

However, Cao Le did not ask him to gather herbs.

While this did deprive him of a chance to be a hero, is being a hero comparable to living?

Of course, he didn't rush off. Instead, he fed the Xuan Snake all the problematic potions, allowing it to recuperate, and then, carrying the totem bead, headed towards the White Demon Eagle's territory...

...

In the forest near the West Fortress, Wang Xiaojun took out a small flute.

Wang Xiaojun put the flute to her lips and blew it out loud. The sound of the flute was like a whistling sound produced by rubbing leaves together. Although it was a little high-pitched, it was also very pleasant to hear and could be heard very far along the dense forest.

A moment later, a chirping sound was suddenly heard from the treetops.

The cry was as melodious and pleasant as a flute. Wang Xiaojun was very familiar with this sound; it was the gray eagle he had raised since it was a cub!

"Let it take me to the herb garden. When it comes back, the credit for this will still be yours," Cao Le said, looking at Wang Xiaojun in front of him.

He wasn't a member of the military and had no interest in so-called merits.

Moreover, no one knew that Cao Le had gone to collect herbs; all that everyone knew was that Wang Xiaojun had gone to the territory of the White Demon Eagle to collect herbs.

Wang Xiaojun didn't quite understand Cao Le's actions, but she still waved her hand and said, "No need, this credit doesn't belong to me. You're the one who discovered this problem, aren't you?"

"Stop with the nonsense, hurry up and discuss it with your eagle." Cao Le was already thinking about how much nourishment Luo Mian could provide him when he appeared in front of him.

Keep in mind, he's a super-level dark mage.

He has already received enough, and this time he has also boosted Xuan She's friendship level to the max, so it was definitely worth it.

The gray eagle then spread its wings and set off with Cao Le, as it had previously searched for Eagle Red Grass for Wang Xiaojun. Therefore, there was no need to worry about the route.

They flew over mountain ridge after mountain. Since there was not much difference between the gray eagles and the white demon eagles, even when they encountered some white demon eagle legions along the way, there was no major danger.

Of course, high-bloodline White Demon Eagles can distinguish the bloodline of Gray Eagles. Gray Eagles can blend into the White Demon Eagle Legion, but they can hardly escape the eyes and sense of smell of War General and Commander-level creatures.

So, the journey was quite dangerous, but this gray eagle had obviously been here more than once or twice.

After dodging and weaving their way through the hillside, Cao Le finally saw a patch of fiery red blossoms blooming on a steep slope, with several white demon eagles frolicking around it. He breathed a sigh of relief!

There was indeed plenty of Eagle Red Grass. As for those few White Demon Eagles?

Cao Le really didn't take them seriously.

Of course, gathering was the priority at the moment. He buried his body and head as much as possible in the feathers of the gray eagle. The few white demon eagles that were playing around saw the gray eagle flying over, but seeing that it was one of their own kind, they ignored it and used the gray eagle's body as cover to start gathering eagle red grass in large quantities. The number of people infected with the plague had probably exceeded ten thousand, and a large amount of eagle red grass was needed. The military had given him a space bracelet that could hold a lot of things, so Cao Le quickly began to harvest.

Because of the pervasive spatial power, Cao Le was not harmed at all when he picked the fruit, and the white demon eagles there were completely unaware of it.

After collecting enough, Cao Le saw that they were unaware of his situation, so he left with the gray eagle.

All of this was clearly much easier than imagined...

...

103. My father's name is Cao Le!

In a forest west of the West Fortress, Cao Le had just safely left the White Demon Eagle's territory with Eagle Red Grass when he encountered Councilor Luo Mian.

“Wang Xiaojun, right? I’m Councilor Luo Mian. You’ve done a great job on this mission. Give me the Eagle Red Grass, and I’ll take it to the quarantine area immediately to rescue those infected people,” Luo Mian, with his goatee, said to Cao Le.

"My father's name is Cao Le."

Just now, the Totem Serpent announced that it had completely digested the venom and recovered. Therefore, Cao Le was not at all alarmed by the scum in front of him.

"Ok?"

Luo Mian, who had been looking kind, suddenly frowned after hearing what Cao Le said.

"What, isn't that strange?" Cao Le asked again.

“Young man, I do find this rather strange, but what is so strange about the affairs of a dying man?” Luo Mian said coldly.

"How can you be so confident? Do you even believe you'll be the one who dies?"

Luo Mian was also puzzled by Cao Le's arrogance. He really didn't know how Cao Le, a mid-level mage, dared to say such things.

Even high-level mages are nothing compared to him!

"Xuan She, the bastard who harmed you is right in front of you. Now that you've recovered, come out and show him who he is!"

As soon as Cao Le finished speaking, the black snake inside the totem bead suddenly darted out!

The colossal body of the black serpent appeared, startling the gray eagles so much that they cowered on the ground. They had no choice; this was a monarch-level creature!

And it was a monarch-level creature that appeared right in front of them!

As a lowly servant-level gray eagle, it was naturally too afraid to move...

When Luo Mian saw the Black Serpent, he wasn't very afraid, because in his memory, the Black Serpent was currently in a weakened state.

"Hmph, a monarch serpent that has just shed its skin, does it think it can intimidate me?" Luo Mian looked at the black and blue scales of the serpent in front of him. Although he was shocked that it had completed its molting, it had only just passed the molting period. He did not think that the serpent could exert much strength.

Thick fog slowly spread from the airflow that pierced through the heavens and earth, forming a wall of fog that surrounded Councilor Luo Mian.

"Hmph!!"

After a roar, Luo Mian felt an absolute pressure. He couldn't believe that the snake had recovered to its full strength!

However, the snake in front of them had indeed recovered, regained its supreme monarch-level power!

Knowing he was no match for him, Councilor Luo Mian reacted quickly, his body instantly sinking into a shadow. His shadow split into two, then into four, and then scattered in four directions, making it impossible to tell which one was the real him.

However, the black serpent's venomous spit also created several venomous pythons, which simultaneously bombarded both his clone and his main body...

Then Luo Mian used his most powerful defensive magic tool, but the Xuan Snake was swallowed whole by him.

Luo Mian, terrified, began to beg for mercy. Cao Le thought for a moment and said, "What benefit would I get from letting you go?"

Hearing Cao Le's question, he subconsciously felt that Cao Le and he were probably "the same kind of people".

With his defenses relaxed, he smiled weakly and said, "As a councilor from Hangzhou, if I bring these herbs back this time, my status will definitely rise even higher. At that time, wouldn't you be second only to the emperor in all of Hangzhou?"

Cao Le left the black snake and walked up to him.

At this moment, Luo Mian was already seriously injured and could not even connect a single star track, so Cao Le naturally had nothing to fear.

Xuan She didn't have much doubt or dissatisfaction with Cao Le's actions.

After all, he helped me the whole time!

"To be honest, I'm quite tempted," Cao Le said, seemingly considering it, then added, "But I need one more thing."

"What?" Luo Mian felt that he had a chance to live, and even more so, a chance to go further.

As for Cao Le?

Once back in Anjie, how he kills him is entirely up to Luo Mian.

"Pfft~!"

However, before Luo Mian could even rejoice, he felt a sword pierce through his chest...

"you...."

Cao Le sneered, "What I want next is your filthy soul."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Le pulled out the dark magic weapon, and then his soul was absorbed into the magic weapon.

The soul power of a super-level shadow mage, after being integrated into the magic weapon, is obviously much stronger than those black beast demons and the like. Cao Le could feel that the magic weapon in his hand seemed to have been upgraded to another level.

At first, even mid-level magical tools and artifacts couldn't withstand his sword strike.

Now, with Luo Mian's dark soul, the demonic weapon in his hand should have evolved to the peak level of a spiritual weapon, right?

Even without testing anything, just holding it was so powerful that he was completely captivated by its strength...

After dealing with Luo Mian, Cao Le handed the spatial bracelet to the trembling Gray Eagle and said, "Take this bracelet to your master; he knows what to do."

The gray eagle seemed to understand what Cao Le was saying, or perhaps it was terrified of the monarch serpent in front of it. After Cao Le handed it to it, it slowly took off. After flying into the air and creating some distance between itself and the black serpent, it hurriedly accelerated.

Although the gray eagle was not a contracted creature, its loyalty was already proven by its vow in the original story to carry Wang Xiaojun's body back to the afterlife.

He and the Black Serpent flew towards the Sky Eagles attacking the city. These arrogant and overbearing Sky Eagles seemed to have sensed the Black Serpent's weakening aura, which was why they chose this moment to attack the city.

Now that the Black Serpent has successfully shed its skin and become even stronger, and the White Demon Eagle dares to come, it naturally needs to give them a painful memory!

Above the city, Judge Li Tian, ​​Jun Si, and Yun Feng were all surrounded by water-like barriers. Sharp silver feathers, like a torrential downpour, frantically stabbed at them. Their water-resistant barriers only managed to withstand one wave before being quickly disintegrated by the silver feathers, leaving them with fine wounds.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Meng began to depict the Star Palace, a super-level lightning magic!

The speed he described wasn't slow, but it wasn't too fast either. Fortunately, the others helped him stall for time, but even though it was a super-level magic, it couldn't cause much damage to the Silver Sky Lord.
