Chapter 1180

"It's already infected, and it's in the farmland on the outskirts of Sylvie City." Qin Kuairen pointed to the one that Zhang Tong took out with withered barley leaves. Feng Meier's eyes instantly sharpened.

………………………

The lord of Sylvie City, Kamaishi, is a middle-aged man in his sixties who looks wise and refined. To become the lord of a city, he naturally has his own means.

You must know that there are no hereditary nobles and positions in the satellite cities near the Immortal City, which is different from other human countries. All castellan and appointments to senior positions within the city come from the Mages Guild of the Immortal City.

All castellan are responsible to the mages of the Immortal City. Positions are not permanent, and there are no titles of nobility here, so maintaining and protecting one's position is the most important thing.

And if you want to maintain your position, you must maintain your favorability with the mage in the Immortal City.

So when Master Feng Meier brought the team to Sylvie City for inspection, Ka Maixi gave a grand welcome. In his suburban villa in the west of Sylvie City, he prepared a ball dinner to entertain Von Meyer.

Not only is Feng Meier a fifth-level mage, so it is very important, but more importantly, Feng Meier's teacher is one of the five legendary mages and one of the five highest speakers in the Immortal City. He can remove his position as city lord with a single sentence. Only by coaxing such a mage to himself can he better protect his position.

The welcome was already prepared, and the famous and dignitaries from all over the city came to this dinner, especially those families with unmarried daughters. They will all dress their daughters up to the dinner party.

Originally, this kind of dinner party for the upper class had the function of supporting the media for the children of the family, and it happened to allow the two young people to get to know each other at the ball.

More importantly, the twenty-nine-year-old Master Feng Meier is still single, which is so attractive. If you can marry your daughter to this mage who has a bright future in the future, then you will be able to ascend to heaven alone!

A group of upper-class people in Sylvie City with various ideas gathered together, eagerly looking forward to Von Meer's arrival in the Kamaisi villa.

They were looking forward to the stars and the moon, but they were looking forward to a piece of bad news.

"I'm sorry that the teacher couldn't come to the dinner because he was unwell, so I had to take the teacher to attend. I'm sorry, the Lord of Kamaishi." Emir was wearing an evening dress and gave a lady's gift to Kamaishi.

Ka Maixi laughed loudly on his face: "It's okay, it's okay. Master Feng Meier is very busy. I know that he and the respected Lord Carter (Mr. Feng Meier) are working day and night in the Tower of Immortality on how to cure dead leaf disease." It's rare for him to have time to relax during the work of the plague. If he wants to rest in the hotel, he can sleep well, and he will be busy again tomorrow."

Ka Maixi didn't seem to be disappointed at all because Feng Meier didn't come to the dance, but warmly greeted the rest of the team brought by Feng Meier.

And Emil has become the focus of attention of many people, especially those single and unmarried men. An eighteen-year-old, youthful, beautiful, and talented first-order mage, to them, this is like a hungry dog ​​who has seen flesh and bones. After Emil danced the first opening dance with the owner of Kamai Xi at the ball, Kamai Xi smiled and distanced herself from her. In a flash, several young talents flocked to invite Emil and him. dance together.

Ka Maixi quietly retreated to the large terrace outside the banquet hall. He whispered to a man in black hiding in a dark corner of the terrace: "Are you sure Feng Meier is in the tavern?"

"Yes, my lord. He hasn't come out of the tavern since he came to Sylvie City. He felt tired when he checked in. He should be really tired."

Ka Maixi nodded after listening: "That's good. Don't let him out. How are things outside the city handled?"

"I'm working overtime to deal with it, my lord. However, there are a lot of farmlands with dead leaves, and about 200 acres of barley fields are affected. Our people are pulling out all the diseased barley fields and transplanting new barley plants. Enter the field." The figure in the darkness hesitated at this point, but continued.

"My lord, the dead leaf disease is contagious. According to the rules of the Immortal City, if the dead leaf disease is discovered, the entire field must be burned directly to prevent the infection."

"We just pull out the diseased plants and plant new ones. This way we can't control the disease." The man in black reminded in a low voice.

Ka Maixi snorted coldly: "Of course I know. But you have to know what day it is now. My term of city director is about to expire, and Von Meer's teacher Carter is qualified to directly decide whether I should be re-elected. At this moment At a critical moment, agriculture is the key, and the mages of the Immortal City have repeatedly issued a statement, demanding that the plague not be infected."

"At this time, the plague was discovered under my jurisdiction, that is my dereliction of duty. Do you know what this means?" Kamaixi said calmly, but the man in black hiding in the corner knew what was in Kamaixi's heart. waves.

The man in black asked, "Why don't we just burn those fields right now?"

"You have been with me for more than ten years. When did you become so stupid? Burning a piece of farmland now will definitely arouse Feng Meier's suspicion. How will you answer when you ask me?" Ka Maixi said coldly.

But the man in black still reminded in a low voice: "But this may spread the plague..."

"It's okay, you guys hurry up and fix the plants. I'll take Feng Meier directly to inspect the farmland tomorrow, wait for him to inspect it first, and then set a torch to burn thousands of acres of farmland around it in two days." Find an excuse, find a few unlucky ghosts from the city defense team to take the blame. Let’s say that they went fishing in the wild, deserted and barbecued, which caused the farmland to be burned. You can figure it out.”

Kamaishi briefly explained how to deal with these things. But the man in black still had something to say. He really wanted to ask: What if the plague spread because the farmland was not burned in time?

But Kamaixi didn't give him any more time to talk. Kamaixi waved his hand: "Hurry up and do it. Finish everything tonight, and I will take Feng Meier to inspect tomorrow morning."

In the end, the man in black didn't say what he said, but quietly hid in the darkness.

Kamaishi looked at the thick night with eyes like water.

……………………

In a farmland about twelve kilometers away from Sylvie City in the eastern suburbs of Sylvie City, a group of people in black are working hard. They are pulling out the plants infected with dead leaf disease in the farmland, and then loading the fresh green plants into the land.

"Hurry up, hurry up! We have to finish all the work tomorrow morning." Someone was urging everyone to work harder.

Due to time constraints and heavy tasks, many men in black pulled out the plants and threw them beside the farmland at will. Infected plants are intermingled with currently uninfected plants.

They are working hard, but they don't know that there are two pairs of angry eyes in the dark that are about to catch fire.
