Chapter 1179 Infected
The roads between the Immortal City and Sylvie City were all paved with stone slabs, and the horseshoes made a crisp rattling sound when they stepped on the rigid slabs. A long procession of horses walks on this road.
"Teacher, we're almost at Sylvie City." Feng Meier, who was meditating on the horse, was interrupted by the voice of his disciple Emil. Feng Meier turned her head to look at Emil. The eighteen-year-old girl is youthful, beautiful and talented in magic. Now she has reached the level of a first-order formal mage.
What a genius! Master Feng Meier thought involuntarily, then shook his head.
Speaking of genius, Feng Meier had to think of his former senior brother Qin Kuiren, who was also a formidable genius, and he had already reached the level of a seventh-rank senior mage before he was thirty years old. Unlike myself, I was still a Tier 4 mage three years ago, and was finally officially promoted to a Tier 5 mage last year.
Although he is only twenty-nine years old this year, he is a genius praised by everyone. But Feng Meier knew that there was still a big gap between him and his senior brother. Although my senior brother has never learned any combat magic, so he is not well-known and there are no legends about him on the mainland. Only a few people know his existence.
But I can hardly forget the existence of this senior brother!
But nine years have passed, and I don't know where my senior brother has gone. I have started to accept apprentices now, and I don't know how the senior brother is doing now.
Feng Meier couldn't help shaking his head when he thought of this.
His disciple, Emir, didn't notice the teacher's sigh, but said there: "Teacher, do you think that dead leaf disease will infect us?"
Dead leaf disease is a name given by the mages to the crop plague, because the diseased crops will first have the pathological characteristics of withered and yellow leaves, so this name was taken.
Feng Meier's thoughts were interrupted by his disciple, he turned to look at Emil: "We are going to Sylvie City now to prevent possible plagues."
"This leaf blight plague is terrible. The world's food is withering and reducing production. Our Immortal City can still survive because there are large agricultural cities like Sylvie City around us. If they If it is also breached by the plague, then the last line of defense of mankind will be finished."
"The mages are trying their best to study anti-epidemic drugs in the tower, but the progress is very slow. Therefore, it is very important for us mages who come out to inspect. If a suspected plague is found within the scope of the Immortal City, then it must be immediately removed Do you understand that the fields are burned?"
Emil rarely saw his teacher so serious.
Because for mages, everything in this world is not so scary in many cases. With extraordinary power, they are far stronger and live longer than ordinary people.
The wars of mortals do not affect their daily lives.
But this plague is different, because there is one thing that mages cannot escape, and that is food. If there is no food, the mages will also starve to death. This is a problem that cannot be solved with magic power.
"Let's go, we are now repairing Sylvie today. We need to inspect a lot of farmland tomorrow." Feng Meier urged the horses under his crotch, and the speed of the entire horse team increased again.
In the evening, the team led by Feng Meier arrived in Sylvie City. Under the guidance of the city staff, Feng Meier and others arrived at the Razor Tavern. The owner of the tavern had already prepared a room for the team.
Feng Meier, who was burdened with things in his heart, was very tired, and he was not in the mood to exchange pleasantries with the leaders of the city, so he only patted his disciple Emil to deal with it.
The castellan of Sylvie City greeted him so enthusiastically, and even held a reception banquet in the castellan's mansion, just because of his reputation as a genius mage and his teacher being one of the five legendary mages.
Von Meier got out of the water in the bathtub prepared for him in the tavern before almost suffocating himself.
"Shit genius, it's a pity that Brother Qin Kuairen is not here. He is the teacher's most proud disciple and he always has various novel ideas and methods. When the teacher is studying the characteristics of dead leaf disease on the tower, he will always sigh from time to time. : "It would be great if Xiao Qin was here, maybe he would have some special idea to solve this problem. "
After taking a bath, Feng Meier found that the tavern had already delivered the dinner prepared for him to his room. The dinner was very rich, with fried potatoes and roast beef, a fruit plate with three kinds of fruits, and a bowl of caper bean soup. The tavern also prepared a bottle of barley wine specially for it.
Such a dinner is already very rich in this day and age. When I went to inspect the human kingdom last year, I found that the civilians in the human kingdom have entered the terrible era of famine. What was once written in the book has changed from words to bloody facts.
"This roast beef is probably made from a pound of high-quality loin and eye meat." Feng Meier cut it lightly with a knife, and the gravy overflowed: "The meat is very fat, and the cows are well fed. Eating pasture alone is If you can’t raise such a good cow, the cow must be fed with a mixture of beans and alfalfa, and it must be fed with pure grain for 30 days before slaughter.”
"It takes twelve catties of grain to raise one catty of such good beef. After roasting one catty of such good beef, only half a catty is left, which is not enough for a meal. And twelve catties Boiling a catty of beans with water can save the lives of twelve people, enough to feed them for a day. The teacher has suggested many times, in this day and age, we need to be moderate! You can no longer feed cattle with grain, beef eats pasture and eats alfalfa It can also be raised, it’s nothing more than the difference between fatter and thinner meat.”
"And this wine, how many times has the teacher said that alcohol should be banned in the whole world now. How many people have starved to death outside, and here is still wasting food to raise cattle to make wine, really hateful!"
With a touch, Feng Meier's palm slapped heavily on the table, making a palm print.
"Have the mages of the Immortal City really stayed away from the world for too long?! For their own enjoyment, they have already disregarded the life and death of the world!"
"Little brother, I haven't seen you for nine years. You are still anxious and righteous. But the wine and meat have already been served, so don't waste it. If you don't want to eat, you can still give it to me. The roast beef in this tavern is too expensive. I can't even bear it."
Hearing this voice, Feng Meier thought he had an auditory hallucination, his ears moved, and then he turned his head slowly in disbelief, and a familiar figure appeared in front of his eyes.
That's right, it was this familiar person. Not tall, not handsome, not brilliant, ordinary person like a passer-by, this... This is my senior brother Qin Kuairen!
"Master...brother, is it really you?" Feng Meier hesitated.
Qin Kuiren nodded: "It's me. I haven't seen you in nine years. It's been a long time..." Before Qin Kuiren finished speaking, Feng Meier walked over and hugged Qin Kuiren fiercely: "Senior brother , where have you been all these years? Teacher and I have been looking for you so hard! Do you know that a lot of things have happened in the Immortal City now, the teacher is in a state of distress, and the mage association is not on the same page. There are many legends among the mages. Dirty. No one can help the teacher!"
Feng Meier was holding Qin Kuairen and was about to cry, but Zhang Tong, who Feng Meier didn't notice, coughed: "Ahem."
Only then did Feng Meier realize that there was still a person standing beside the senior brother. Taking a closer look, thick eyebrows, big eyes, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes are just like the appearance of the protagonist in the legendary story. He is so imposing and talented, the senior brother standing with him is like an ugly duckling standing next to a white swan! All the glory was taken away.
Why are you so stupid? He can't stand shoulder to shoulder with this kind of person!
Feng Meier looked at Qin Kuiren and then at Zhang Tong. He didn't know who Zhang Tong was. Qin Kuairen cleared his throat: "Brother, it's a long story about me. I will explain it to my teacher when I see him. I came back this time and found that you are in a lot of trouble." Qin Kuai Ren glanced at Zhang Tong, and Zhang Tong took out a withered wheat leaf from his arms.
Feng Meier's eyes froze: "This... dead leaf disease?! Where did you find it?"
Qin Kuairen looked towards the direction of Sylvie's suburbs: "It's right here, the plague has already infected!"
