magic tower
Verola waved her hand: "Don't talk, don't talk, it's rare for you to come back, so I'll bother you with this annoying matter. This matter has already been dealt with by the army. The dean passed away a week ago. They Things should be under control."
This incident seemed a bit urgent, but those who went crazy were ordinary people. Even after they went crazy, their attack power was very limited. There were great magicians and troops, which was enough.
Link shook his head: "Teacher, you seem to be very preoccupied. I'm afraid this plague is not so simple... There should be cases of madness in the academy?"
Verola sighed: "There are indeed some, there is one in my magic cage."
"Take me to see it." Link said, the Lord of Radiance couldn't be cured by magic, and it also showed the characteristics of a disease. This is a bit strange, and he feels a little uneasy.
Since Link wanted to see it, Verola would certainly not refuse, she stood up and said, "Come with me."
The three of them got up and left the hall. Love was also curious and wanted to follow her to have a look, but halfway through, Link dismissed her: "It's an adult's business, children, don't join in the fun, go read the magic book."
Love pursed his lips and left very unwillingly.
Link and Verola went into the basement of the magic tower.
There are three floors in this basement, the top floor is the food storage room, the bottom floor is the negative energy pool of the magic tower, and the bottom floor is the magic cage.
Some monsters that are common in the mainland are imprisoned here, such as low-level werewolves, young vampires, and ghouls. Their strength is generally weak and they are used for students to increase their knowledge.
The mad case was imprisoned in a magic cage.
There are many separate cells in the cage, one by one, which looks like a beehive, and the exit of the beehive is sealed with a transparent magic door.
When the door opened, the monsters here roared and screamed, but when they saw Verola, they shouted more cheerfully, and many humanoid monsters even threatened them.
"Let me go, female magician, or I will tear you apart one day!" It was a werewolf with sharp claws.
"Evil witch, you are dead! You are dead! You are dead!" It was a widow spider with a human face, and it was crawling around quickly on its web, with a high-pitched voice.
"Aww~oww~delicious~delicious!" This was a small ghoul.
Then, Link followed into the cage passage.
"..."
The cage that was noisy just now became silent in an instant, and many monsters frantically hid in the corners. The human-faced widow spider was shocked and fell off its own web with a 'click' sound. .
Verola laughed out loud with a 'puchi': "These ghosts know how to bully the weak and fear the strong."
Monsters are sensitive, knowing that Verola is easy to talk, so they like to talk trash every time, but Link has killed no one in the northern battlefield, and there is a strong evil spirit in him, which ordinary people may not be able to perceive, but these monsters can see it at a glance. It can be found that facing such a big evil star, they are all terrified.
Walking along the passage of the cage, in the innermost and lower right corner, Verola stopped: "This is the cell."
With a soft "poof", she lit a magic light above the ball cage, and the light illuminated the cell.
Through the transparent magic door, Link saw a person squatting in the corner of the cell. This was a man of thirty-five or sixteen years old. He was wearing a robe that ordinary businessmen often wear, and the robe had been torn. , hanging on him one by one.
Stimulated by the light, the man looked up blankly at the white magic light on the top of the cell, which allowed Link to see his eyes.
The eye sockets of this person have turned into pure black, without any whites or pupils, just like two black holes. Link looked at his hands, feet, and teeth again, but they didn't change, just like ordinary people.
Verola said softly: "The eyes are the only place that has changed. Other abnormalities are manifested in behavioral characteristics. Look at him squatting on the ground now. Does his squatting look like an animal?"
Indeed, this person was squatting, but his hands were propped on the ground in front of him, and his whole posture was in a state of bursting out at any time.
"Open the magic door and let me see his aggressiveness." Link said.
Verola nodded. Before opening the magic door, she reminded: "Don't look at him being quiet now, he will explode suddenly, and the speed is quite fast."
"I see."
'Om~' The magic door was opened, the man in the cell turned his head the moment the door opened, and then let out a rough howl in his throat, the whole person jumped up and looked towards Lin who was standing opposite him. Ke jumped over.
The speed is indeed very fast, not losing to a level 1 fighter. Of course, in Link's eyes, this is slow motion.
He didn't even bother to use his wand, as soon as he stretched out his hand, the dragon force moved, and a ball of space was sent out, and the person's body was 'fixed' in midair.
Link took a closer look and saw that this man had a ferocious face, bared teeth, tense body muscles, pale and wrinkled skin, and many deep ulcers. The most serious wound on the left hind leg was rotten to the bone. However, he didn't seem to feel any pain at all, and his whole body showed a crazy wildness.
This appearance is almost completely animalized.
Link circled around him and found something out of line with common sense.
"There are no maggots on his wound, have you treated him?" Link asked, such a deep ulcer and such a dirty environment usually have maggots, but there are no maggots on this person.
Verola shook her head: "Not at all, maybe his blood is poisonous?"
"I didn't feel any abnormal power in him, it looks like a disease. How long do these people usually live?" Link asked again.
"I don't know how long it will be, but this guy is one of the first batch of patients. He has lived for three weeks. He eats everything. So far, he has not shown any weakness except for festering."
Link doesn't know much about diseases, and he can't see what's wrong with this guy. After observing for a few minutes, he shook his head and said, "Aside from losing his mind, there's nothing special about it. Rabies, but much longer than rabies."
This disease cannot be cured by the divine magic of brilliance, and it spreads quickly. After that, it is nothing special. The threat is not too big. Now that the army and great magicians have joined, it is indeed enough to control the situation.
Link was a little uneasy before, but when he saw the case, he was relieved and exited the cell. Verola on the side closed the magic door of the cell again.
"How do you usually deal with infected people?"
"We haven't found an antidote for the time being. For most of the infected people who have become ill, our only solution is to kill them and then burn their bodies." Verola said.
Link pondered for a moment, then asked again: "If ordinary people live near them, is there any possibility of being infected?"
"Yes, but not high. The weaker the body, the higher the possibility of being infected, the stronger the strength, and the better the body, the lower the chance of being infected. At present, any professional with level 4 or above, unless they are infected by the opponent Bite it, otherwise it will never be infected."
Verola spoke in great detail, obviously, she had already done a detailed understanding of the plague.
Hearing this, Link was basically relieved, and he sighed: "Teacher, you are right, the deployment of the army and the great magician can indeed easily control the spread of the disease, I just hope that they will act faster to avoid death." Some people."
"I hope so, and I hope those alchemists can quickly find the antidote." Verola walked towards the door of the cage, and said at the same time: "Okay, now we can talk about your business."
Link nodded, and he took out two enchanting magic books and handed them over: "I intend to build an enchanting workshop in Field. For this reason, I want to come to the Magic Academy to recruit some magicians who specialize in enchanting, and magic apprentices are also fine. I can do it for you. Cultivate training. For this, I also wrote two magic books."
Verola stopped and flipped through the manuscript. She changed her expression and said, "Let's go back to the lobby on the top floor first. I want to take a good look at this book."
"certainly."
After the two returned to the hall, Verola began to read it carefully. She read it very quickly, and the enchanted book was very superficial and the content was not too much, so she finished it quickly.
At the end, she raised her head with unsatisfied intentions and asked, "Is this all gone?"
This book is very interesting, not boring like ordinary magic books, and the enchanting method contained in it is very novel, even she was moved after reading it, and wanted to try it out right away.
Now there are only two books, and Verola feels that she is enjoying the food, and after only two bites, the food is gone, and there is no way to satisfy her cravings!
"No, I've only written two for the time being." Link spread his hands.
Verola said: "There is no problem with the magician you are looking for. If I announce this, there will definitely be many magicians willing to go to your place. However, these two books are not enough to thank you. This elementary magic book Whilst superbly written, it's too shallow for any real good stuff."
After finishing speaking, Verola looked at Link and smiled, which meant that she needed more thanks.
Link sighed: "After a while, my follow-up enchanting book is ready and will be delivered immediately, but these two books can be made public, but the rest can only be read by you."
"That's about the same. Why is the preface of this general outline empty?" Verola asked again.
Link smiled and said, "I'm just hoping that my mentor can make it up for me."
Verola laughed: "It's really an honor."
She started writing immediately. Link took a magic book at the side, and looked at it casually. As he was looking at it, his ears suddenly moved, and then he looked up to the window of the magic tower.
Outside the window, a group of carriages drove into East Valley College. After the carriage stopped, Link saw Anthony, the head of East Valley School of Magic, leading a group of magicians out of the carriage. Judging by his expression and movements, he seemed very anger.
"Mentor, the dean is back, but something is wrong."
Verola came over to look, took a few glances, and saw Dean Anthony slamming the hat in her hand on the ground, she also frowned: "I have known Dean for more than 20 years, and he has never You've been so outraged, what the hell happened?"
