Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

The girl next to her saw this and moved away from the wooden box in disgust and fear.

Kato Megumi thought about it, then stretched out her index finger and moved closer to the insect.

As if it smelled a strong scent of vitality, the insect suddenly became alert, its body stretched straight, and it quickly flew towards Kato Megumi's index finger. Its body, as small as a hair, stretched straight, like a sharp needle, as if it wanted to break through the skin and flesh and pierce directly into the blood vessels.

This way, it can enjoy a rich and delicious meal.

"Ah, be careful!"

Before Long Ji finished her words, she heard the sound of metal striking.

The needle-tip-sized poisonous insect flew straight to the surface of Kato Megumi's index finger, and actually produced a crisp knocking sound. The finger in front of him was not soft flesh and blood, but as hard as gold and iron. Even though it was pierced by such a swift and sharp object, there was not even a trace of a scratch.

On the contrary, the poisonous insect that pounced greedily with all its strength was actually broken directly!

With a click, a small piece of hair turned into two and a half hairs.

Long Ji and Miss Lan looked at Kato Megumi in amazement, wondering why there was a sound of metal hitting each other when the insect pierced the skin.

Kato Megumi herself blinked in confusion.

"Ah! I was thinking of raising one and seeing if I could do some research on it... What a pity."

Miss Lan twitched her lips upon seeing this. This benefactor was not afraid of this strange and unknown poisonous insect at all. He even looked regretful. He was indeed not an ordinary person.

Long Ji blinked her eyes, full of curiosity.

She grabbed Kato Megumi's hand, pinched Kato Megumi's index finger, and looked surprised.

"It looks so soft, why does it make such a sound of metal knocking against stone? It's obviously not hard!"

"Could it be some kind of external martial arts, Vajra Body or something like that?"

Looking at the little girl's curious look, Kato Megumi found it a little funny.

"cough……"

On the other side, at the moment the poisonous insect died, a muffled groan suddenly came from a secret room in the mansion.

The man sitting cross-legged suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were shining, but his face was full of surprise.

"He's dead! Who killed my Zi Gu?"

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He was practicing at a critical moment, but who would have thought that the death of the child Gu would be sensed by the mother Gu in his body.

As a result, the man's mood fluctuated and he accidentally got a stitch in the side and suffered a minor injury. This minor injury was nothing and he only needed to recuperate for a day or two. After all, it was normal for people who practiced Taoism to get injured.

Also, because of their strong physiques, injuries that would take ordinary people a long time to recover from only take a few days for a monk.

If he hadn't suddenly gotten out of breath, even if hundreds or thousands of ordinary Gu died, it wouldn't have been a problem for him.

But then the man narrowed his eyes. This injury was nothing to him. What he cared about was how his sub-Gu was cracked.

You know, this insect is the most concealed life-eating insect. Almost no one can discover it except the grandmaster. Could it be that some old monster has done it?

The man frowned slightly. There were only a few Life-Eating Gu, and they were basically used on the tip of a knife. The only one that had no effect on him was the thing his grandson asked him to do.

The grandson fell in love at first sight with the grand secretary's daughter.

Because of this, he lost his appetite and therefore, received a request from his grandson. In order to let his grandson get the woman he wanted, the loving grandson planted a life-eating poison silently on the daughter of that family.

He had also seen the woman who fascinated his grandson. She was indeed pretty and it would be a good idea for her to be his grandson's concubine. Perhaps the offspring she gave birth to would be even more beautiful, thus purifying the genes of their Jing family.

At the same time, it was also to allow his grandson to concentrate on his cultivation, so the man took action only after getting his grandson's guarantee.

However...the sub-Gu that had just happened to be in trouble happened to be the one on the other person's body.

The man frowned at the thought.

Could it be that the other party has hired a capable expert? Or is there something else behind that university scholar?

Thinking of this, the man lowered his eyes in deep thought, and finally stood up and left the secret room and called the secret guard.

"You, go check..."

"Yes!"

Doomsday Natural Disaster Leaps Over Dragon Gate: Chapter 427 Chapter Warmly Welcome to Lan Mansion

Meanwhile, Kato Megumi and the others were still unaware that the owner of the insect had already begun investigating.

However, from the moment they discovered the cause and understood that the foreign object in front of them was an insect, they already knew that this acute illness was man-made.

However, even though they knew that this crisis was not ordinary, they were powerless to do anything.

As a girl who is close to Long Ji and a Grand Secretary of the Royalist Party, no matter which one they are, there are many people behind the scenes who dislike them, and it is almost difficult to find out the culprit.

What's more, with their abilities, they may not be able to solve the problem even if they find out. Therefore, even though they know the truth, Long Ji and the girl will just pretend that they found nothing.

The news of the girl's recovery soon spread throughout the mansion, and Grand Secretary Lan Wenshan, who received the news, was surprised and excited. He immediately rushed to his daughter's room after the servant brought him the news.

"Xue'er! Are you really okay!?"

The man rushed in hurriedly and saw that his daughter's face was rosy and the slight sign of illness on her face had disappeared. She was even able to get out of bed and sit on a stool to talk with Long Ji. Lan Wenshan's beard trembled and he looked excited.

"Dad, I'm really fine! This time I have to thank Long'er for inviting this... um, this benefactor."

The girl stood up and held her father's trembling hand tightly, looking at Kato Megumi with gratitude. Only then did she remember that from the beginning to the end, she seemed to not know the name of the benefactor in front of her.

"Come to think of it, I haven't introduced myself yet, and I don't even know the name of my benefactor..."

The girl smiled apologetically when she said this.

"My daughter's name is Lan Yixue, and this is my father, Lan Wenshan..."

"Kato Megumi"

Kato Megumi nodded and replied.

Before the girl could react, Lan Wenshan walked over quickly and expressed his gratitude.

"I didn't expect that my daughter's illness could actually be cured. I am so grateful to my benefactor. Since you are my daughter's benefactor, you are naturally my benefactor. If you need any help in the future, you can always ask me for help."

"Since you cured my daughter, the Blue Eyes Man naturally needs to prepare a thank you gift. I don't know what the benefactor wants, but as long as I, Lan, can give it, I will definitely not refuse it. I will respond to any request."

Lan Wenshan took out his personal jade pendant and handed it to Kato Hui, making a promise.

Seeing this, Kato Megumi looked at Long Ji beside her, and seeing her nod, she simply did not refuse and accepted it.

"Since Lord Lan is so kind, I will accept it. I will just forget about the thank you gift, it is just my duty! As for the reward, Linglong has already promised it to me, so Lord Lan, there is no need to do this."

When Lan Wenshan heard Kato Megumi say this, he was stunned, then he understood.

Well, the person who can cure the little girl's illness and the person she can invite will naturally not be free of charge.

Thinking of this, Lan Wenshan sighed in his heart.

I don’t know whether my daughter’s good relationship with… is a blessing or a curse. Even the royalists are not as close as I am. I don’t know what the future will be like.

Lan Wenshan's thoughts flashed through his mind.

Never mind! Just let it be...

After exchanging polite words with Lan Wenshan and explaining the cause of his illness, Lan Wenshan fell into deep thought.

"Although I had some guesses, I didn't expect that my daughter's illness was really man-made..."

Lan Wenshan sighed and said nothing more, but changed the subject.

When he heard that the two of them were now living in an inn, and that the benefactor was from another place and had no residence in the imperial capital, Lan Wenshan tried his best to persuade them and warmly entertained Kato Megumi.

Of course, this is not only because Kato Megumi treated Lan Yixiu, but the reason behind it is to make others covetous and confuse the person who took action.

From his daughter, Lan Wenshan learned that this benefactor did not seem to be a professional doctor, but an extraordinary person with special abilities. You know, countless extraordinary people came to treat his daughter but to no avail, but the other party came and cured her easily. Not to mention that the benefactor was specially invited by Long Ji, and it seemed that the two of them only knew each other a day or two ago. Judging from Long Ji's appearance, she was very friendly to the benefactor and even took the initiative to approach him.

Lan Wenshan knew in his heart that his benefactor was not a simple person, otherwise how could he be treated like this by Long Ji. Keeping such a person in the Lan Mansion would be a good thing for both him and his daughter.

Although it is inevitable that in the eyes of outsiders, the Lan Mansion has been tied to Long Ji.

But things have come to this. To outsiders, hasn’t the relationship between my daughter and Long Ji been like this for a long time?

As for Long Ji, Lan Wenshan naturally treated her with respect and distance, but after Lan Yixiu's illness was cured, his attitude towards Long Ji improved a lot.

Lan Yixiu saw it all and was happy in her heart, but at the same time she was a little worried about the future. However, she was still very happy now. At least judging from her father's attitude, he was not particularly opposed to her and Linglong getting in touch again.

Just like that, under the warm hospitality of Lan Yixiu, the headmistress of Lan Wenshan, Kato Hui thought for a moment and finally decided to stay in the Lan Mansion.

……

……

Doomsday Natural Disaster Leaps Over Dragon Gate: Chapter 428 Chapter Two Women Visit the Imperial Capital Together

There are many reasons. No matter whether it is the auction house pass in Long Ji's reward or the treatment of Lan Yixiu, no matter how you look at it, he has been involved in a vortex of conspiracy, no matter how big or small it is. Now he tries his best to get rid of it, but I am afraid it is no longer possible.

Fortunately, she had already realized it before. With her ability, she could at least save her life, not to mention that she had the witch lady's back-up.

Thinking of this, Kato Megumi felt relieved and lived in the Lan Mansion.

The Lan Mansion, which has a grand scholar, is naturally not a small family. Both in terms of food and understanding of the imperial capital, they are better than Long Ji, who clearly knows but can never say it. Kato Megumi doesn't have to worry about food and accommodation. Under the guidance of Lan Yixiu and Long Ji, she visited all the famous places in the imperial capital, which allowed Kato Megumi to understand the prosperity of the imperial capital.

Not to mention other things, just talking about the area, the area of ​​this imperial capital is as large as ten Longting counties, and compared with the decline of other counties, the imperial capital seems to have not encountered any natural disasters at all. Although there is not constant laughter and joy, there are people coming and going, and everyone has a positive yearning for life.

The endless hawking sounds in the streets and alleys, the guards patrolling the roads, the dignitaries parading around and eating and drinking lavishly in a casual or extravagant manner, all these little details together create a prosperous and powerful capital city.

After all, there are four great families, various officials and dignitaries here, and there are troops stationed outside to guard the capital. No matter how you look at it, this empire is not the kind of dynasty that is about to decline.

However, Kato Megumi knew that... such prosperity was only superficial.

Apart from other things, the fact that she saw so many refugees on her way here was proof of the crisis underway in the imperial dynasty. The seemingly prosperous capital was actually in danger, and it was not as upright and fearless as it appeared on the surface.

Kato Megumi could occasionally hear from the people around her about their worries about life. Of course, what she heard most was the gold powder that could restore the vitality of the fields and the increasingly harsh taxes.

Regarding this, Kato Megumi asked Long Ji and the other person, and got some inside information that was unknown to ordinary people.

"The gold powder is made of dragon crystal?"

Kato Megumi was surprised.

"Of course. Otherwise, why can the gold powder restore the vitality of the land? Because the power of the dragon veins and the corrosive power of natural disasters are mutually exclusive. Therefore, the people above have studied for a long time before they developed the gold powder that can restore the vitality of the land."

Long Ji sighed.

"The power of corruption, is that what you call it?"

"Yes, because where the meteorites fell, not only did the plants wither and the land lose its vitality, but even the living creatures became violent. The people who came into contact with them behaved abnormally, liking to eat raw meat, and eventually became completely corrupted and transformed into something neither human nor ghost."

"Is there no one to take care of it?"

Kato Megumi asked.

Along the way, she also saw many humans who were corroded by the power of corrosion. They were not difficult to identify. Basically, they had bloodshot eyes, strange facial expressions, and slightly stiff movements. Therefore, Kato Megumi eliminated many such people along the way.

"Yes! Recently, there has been a surge in commissions from aliens, and many of them are to eliminate these people. However, there are too many of them, so they can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. In the end, people found that after these people died, the corrosive power could be transferred to aliens, which made the commissions more difficult. Everyone is worried about their own safety. Nowadays, when encountering such tasks, aliens with average strength basically will not accept them."

"Since gold dust can purify the land, have you ever used dragon crystal to destroy those cannibals?"

"Dragon crystal can indeed eliminate those cannibals, but the key is..."

Speaking of this, Long Ji sighed.

"Sister, you may not know how precious dragon crystal is. It would take a normal alien several years to collect a piece as big as a fingernail."

Longji gestured with her fingers.

"It's just such a small piece, and it can only eliminate one cannibal! And the reward for the mission is not high at all. Low-level people don't have dragon crystals and are unable to eliminate them. Strong aliens don't care about the mission rewards. In addition, dragon crystals can not only be used for cultivation, but now they can also restore the vitality of the land. Now the value is so high that it cannot be exchanged for gold or silver at all."

Hearing this, Kato Hui seemed to be lost in thought. Dragon Crystal seems to be very valuable?

"Then why didn't the Imperial Dynasty send troops to wipe them out? I remember that the Imperial Dynasty family is in charge of two dragon crystal mines!"

"Since the princess was able to forcefully demand that her subjects use dragon crystals to make gold powder, restore the land under her rule, and allow the people to buy it, then logically she should attach great importance to this area. So why didn't she send troops?"

Kato Megumi asked.

When Long Ji heard Kato Hui ask this, her face froze. Lan Yixiu, who was standing beside her, saw this, patted her head and explained.

"My benefactor... It's not that the princess doesn't want to do it, it's because she is powerless..."

"Huh? Is there any difficulty?"
