Full-Time Magister: I Have a Crafting Spawn

The third day of the outbreak.

The number of people infected with the plague suddenly surged, the news spread rapidly, and people were in a state of extreme panic. This was faster than anyone had anticipated.

They had never seen such a ferocious plague, and even healing magic was ineffective.

Just as they were working intensively to find a solution to the plague, the first person to contract the plague by West Lake died in his sickbed.

This incident attracted a lot of attention, and many disease experts gathered at Hangzhou Hospital. These people formed a circle, each wearing a protective mask, looking in horror at the patient on the hospital bed whose face was ravaged by the plague.

"Mr. Lu, what are your thoughts?" Zhu Meng asked in a calm voice.

A leading figure in the field of disease, Mr. Lu waved his hand, signaling the nurse to cover the patient, and said solemnly:

"This plague is the most terrifying I've ever seen in my work with diseases. It has a very short incubation period and is extremely virulent when it takes effect. We have very little time to recover."

Mr. Lu hesitated, realizing that even a top-tier healing mage couldn't find a timely solution to this plague, and the consequences were too severe!

"Your Honor, have you seen this body? Now, do you still believe I plotted to frame your guardian spirit?"

Zhu Meng pointed to the covered corpses and said angrily, "Your god is not innocent! He is responsible for this plague and for all those who died!"

Presiding Judge Tang Zhong remained silent.

He wanted to argue, but the facts were undeniable.

Could it be that the black snake, during its molting period, truly cannot control its evil nature?

It's possible that there was never any plague during the pre-molting period.

Thinking of this, Tang Zhong said seriously, "From ancient times to the present, the Black Serpent has always lived on this land, and there has never been a plague like this before. I think there must be other reasons. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give Councilor Zhu and Hangzhou an explanation."

"If... if it really was the work of the Black Serpent, please, Councilor Zhu, do not kill it. Its existence is of great significance to Hangzhou..."

"presiding judge!!"

Zhu Meng roared, "You still have illusions about the Black Serpent! Things have gotten out of control. You'd better tell me where the Black Serpent is, or we'll face off in the Supreme Court!"

"..." Tang Zhong did not respond. He turned to Mr. Lu and asked, "Mr. Lu, please tell us what we should do next."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Lu pursed his lips and spoke his mind: "The number of people infected with the plague in the city has now exceeded a thousand. According to our research on the plague, with the response plans of the Magic Association and the Inquisition, it should not have developed so rapidly."

As a shrewd person, Tang Zhong quickly understood Mr. Lu's meaning and invited him to a private room to discuss the matter in detail.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Meng followed him into the room.

"Are you saying that this plague is not a natural disaster, but a man-made one?" Tang Zhong asked.

"This is just my guess."

Mr. Lu said, "The speed and pattern of the plague's spread are clearly abnormal, and the possibility of it being caused by human error is very high."

"Man-made disaster? Are you saying the plague wasn't caused by the Black Serpent?" Zhu Meng immediately spoke, his tone very unpleasant.

Knowing that Zhu Meng was angry, Mr. Lu calmly explained, "No, the source of the plague has not yet been determined. What I can confirm is that the spread of the plague is very likely the work of certain individuals. The specific reasons will depend on the investigation by the trial committee."

"The trial committee will investigate thoroughly, and I will take full responsibility for this matter," Tang Zhong said.

Just as the three were discussing the plague, a mage dressed in a military intelligence uniform brought them some very bad news.

"Councilor Zhu, Presiding Judge, the White Eagles in Xiling have made unusual moves. Please convene a meeting immediately to discuss countermeasures," the military intelligence officer said.

"What did you say?!" Zhu Meng immediately glared at the military intelligence officer. "What exactly is the situation in Xiling? Why is the White Demon Eagle making unusual movements at this time?"

Upon seeing this, the military intelligence officer immediately relayed the shocking news that had gripped Hangzhou: "Since yesterday, the White Demon Eagles over Xiling have been acting strangely. By this morning, they had gathered in the skies above Xiling. They seem to have gone mad. No matter how much we bombard them with magic, they keep flying towards Hangzhou."

"And their rulers?" Tang Zhong asked almost simultaneously.

His face was filled with shock.

The Xiling Military Headquarters Fortress was built to deal with the Xiling White Demon Eagles. However, for decades, the Xiling White Demon Eagles have never shown any intention of invading Hangzhou, and people have gradually forgotten how ferocious these demons are.

Who would have thought that at the critical moment of the plague outbreak, the White Eagle would take advantage of the chaos!

Moreover, what is terrifying about the White Demon Eagles is not just their overwhelming numbers, but their rulers, the monarch-level Silver Sky Lords.

Any mage who has come into contact with a monarch-level creature knows firsthand just how powerful they are.

If the Silver Dome Lord also makes a move, it will be an absolute disaster for Hangzhou!

However, the things we least want to happen are the things that are most likely to happen. The military intelligence officer said in a deep voice, "The Silver Sky Lord is in the demon horde. It is the one controlling the White Demon Eagle to approach Hangzhou."

Everyone present paled in shock.

Misfortunes never come singly!

Are you sure we want to go to Hangzhou?

Mo Fan glanced at the heavily guarded checkpoint in the distance and asked Lingling, who had two cute ponytails, beside him.

"Come on in, the Plague Bounty has just been upgraded again. The bounty alone is now 30 million, and it seems the rewards will continue to increase. If we can complete this bounty, we'll not only make a fortune, but you'll also get a lot of Hunter Contribution Points."

As Lingling spoke, she opened the mini laptop she carried with her:

"According to the information I have received, this plague is very serious. Even the leading experts in the field of disease are helpless. This is the perfect opportunity for us to show our skills."

"Uh... Even someone as capable as him couldn't do it, are you sure we can?" Mo Fan asked, somewhat unsure.

An epidemic that could plunge the entire city of Hangzhou into danger sounds like a difficult problem to solve.

"Tell me if you want to become a Hunter Master or not?" Lingling rolled her eyes.

"Yes, I want to!" Mo Fan blurted out.

Hunter Masters have access to commissions that ordinary people cannot access, with extremely generous bounties. Moreover, Hunter Masters hold a very high status, and no hunter would not want to become a Hunter Master.

"Okay, then I'll do as I say and head to Hangzhou!" Lingling shut down her computer and led the way to the checkpoint.

Mo Fan really wants to become a master hunter, but he feels very tired right now.

After returning from his exchange student experience, he went to Changbai Mountain to complete a very dangerous and difficult bounty.

I was planning to take a break, but as soon as I got back to Shanghai, before I could even sit down, Lingling called me to Hangzhou.

Ugh!

"What are you dawdling for? Come here now!"

Lingling's cries came from behind.

"Here it comes!"

Mo Fan quickly followed.
