When the little hand pointed like that, Blacklett suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

After all, Lalela was pointing out every person that came into view, and were they all murlocs?

"Uh, why? They are all residents of Ludan City. I don't see any relationship between them and the merfolk. Besides, they are also killing merfolk."

Helet realized that the situation was serious if it was really as Lalela said.

The vast majority of the residents of Ludan City are waking up. If they are all fishmen, doesn’t that mean there won’t be many people left in the entire Ludan City?

"Lalela, that man doesn't smell like a murloc."

Lalela pointed again with her little hand, and this time the person she pointed at was someone Heilet knew.

Second mate, second mate of the Virgin.

After luckily escaping back to the city of Ludun, he had nowhere else to go as a pirate, as the captain and the first mate were both dead.

Therefore, the second mate joined the guard, and the strength of stage four was just enough.

Black Light and the second mate were familiar with each other. After all, they had fought together on the Virgin and were the only two people who survived on the Virgin.

Looking at the second mate, Heilite had a guess in his mind.

Not only was the second mate fine, but even Hei Lai Te and Nilan Xue Er were fine too? Hei Lai Te originally thought that his and Nilan Xue Er's magic power was very high, but now Lalaila's words made this guess not very credible.

Why do ordinary residents suffer from a disease they have never heard of?

The inexplicable vomiting phenomenon, like a plague, almost spread to the entire city of Ludun.

Perhaps Heilite could find the answer in the second mate.

Chapter 262 I'm doing this for Xue'er

Nilan Sher's residence.

Black Light walked around the mansion casually with the second mate without attracting anyone's attention, and Black Light did not notice the significance of this.

However, the second mate was very clear that under normal circumstances, he and Baron Jarman would not be allowed to enter here easily without being notified by Nilan Xueer, or unless there was something necessary.

Although the second mate had discussed the relationship between Black Light and Nilan Xueer with the captain and the first mate before on the "Virgin".

But now it seems that the close relationship between Black Light and Nilan Xueer far exceeded their expectations, and made the second mate glad that he did not really take action against Black Light when he was on the Virgin.

Otherwise, he might have been drowned in the sea by Nilan Xueer.

"Okay, we can just stay here. Sitting here might allow Xue'er to overhear our conversation."

Black Light and the second mate stood under the window of Nilan Xueer's office.

He spoke loudly enough for Nilan Xueer in the room to hear, and of course this was obviously intentional.

Anyway, he didn't need to hide the matter of the murloc plague from Nilanxue. On the contrary, Black Light even needed to report his whereabouts to Nilanxue specifically so that Nilanxue would know where he was going.

In that case, if Blacklett gets into trouble, Nilan Xueer can find him and help him solve the problem.

Otherwise, the secretive actions would make Nilan Xueer suspicious, and then she would lose her freedom, which would not be good.

"Oh, okay, no problem. Brother Blacklet, what do you want to ask? I'll tell you everything I know!"

The second mate glanced at the window above his head, and became more certain of his guess that Black Light and Nilan Xueer were one and the same.

Now, cooperating with Black Light is cooperating with Nilan Xueer.

Naturally, since both of them had been on the Virgin, this relationship also made the second mate willing to tell Blacklett everything.

"I want to ask, do you know if there are any strange things happening in Ludan City recently? Do you do anything different with the residents?"

Hei Lai Te also directly asked what he wanted to know.

"What's the difference between me and the residents? Um, how should I put it? I work and eat all day, kill fishmen, drink and sleep. Yesterday I was on night shift."

The second mate was a little confused about Hei Lai Te's question. He was not sure what Hei Lai Te wanted to ask.

But Heilite was not in a hurry. The first question was just to relax the atmosphere.

Next, Heilite asked more targeted questions.

"Then is there any difference between what you eat and what you drink and what the residents here do?"

Blacklett's question immediately aroused the second mate's interest.

He was also well aware that there had been some inexplicable plague in Ludan City recently. People there would vomit, spit out green sticky liquid, and scales would grow on their bodies.

So far, no one has known what happened. Nilan Xueer has also checked and found no trace of magic. This has caused the city of Ludun to fall into panic for a while, and some people have chosen to move out of Ludun.

Such a situation would turn Ludan City into a deserted city. The attacks of the fishmen and the unknown plague gave even Nilan Xueer a headache.

Now that Blacklett is asking himself these questions, he is probably also working for Nilan Xueer.

"Well, I'm embarrassed to say this, but I don't drink water, I only drink wine."

"As for food, I only like to eat beef. I don't like other fish or other meats. I also like to eat fruits and cakes."

"Because I'm so greedy, I spend a lot of my salary and savings. Basically, there's not much left every month. After all, the prices of these things have increased and they're much more expensive than before."

The second mate didn't know what to say, but he answered Blacklett's questions honestly.

As for what information can be obtained from his words, that depends on Heilite himself.

Even the slow-witted second mate can occasionally be clever and resourceful.

"Oh, I see. Let's go into the city and look for water and food."

Black Light glanced at the window of the room above his head where Nilan Xueer was, and said this in a slightly higher voice.

He didn't leave in a hurry, but stood there and waited for a while. After Hei Lai Te didn't hear Nilan Xue'er's word "get out", he smiled and signaled the second mate to leave together.

As long as Nilan Xueer doesn't object at this time, it means she allows him.

After leaving Nilanxelle's mansion, Hei Lai Te carried his harpoon and walked to the streets of Ludan City with the second mate.

At this time, Ludan City no longer had the prosperity it once had. Although familiar shops were still open, there were no longer people coming and going.

Walking past some shops, Heilite could see that most of them sold fish and meat, with very few fruits and other meats.

The residents who looked unhappy were mostly holding fish in their hands.

"Haven't you ever eaten that fish? That fish belongs to the fish-man?"

Hei Lai Te looked at the second mate beside him. He had been living and eating at Nilan Xueer's place all this time, and the food Nilan Xueer ate was also prepared by Hei Lai Te.

Naturally, Nilan Xueer would not eat like the other residents. The ingredients that this noble ice beauty ate were all transported directly from other cities, and they were different every day.

The second mate smiled strangely when hearing Hei Lai Te's question. This was what they called ignorance of the sufferings of the world. It was obvious at a glance that Hei Lai Te had never eaten these fish.

"Yes, aren't there the most murlocs here recently?"

"These fishmen are similar to us except that they have two hands, two feet and a head. Their whole bodies are fish. They are sea beasts rather than marine species because their intelligence is too low."

"Recently, our sea route has been blocked by those fishmen, and we don't know how long it will last, so we have all started to save money. Of course, if one person is well fed, the whole family will not be hungry, so it doesn't matter."

Lalela has also eaten mermen, but she doesn't like the taste of them.

However, Black Light really refused to eat fish people. Since there were better normal foods to eat, who would want to eat those things? Of course, the prerequisite is to have money.

The fishman BOSS blocked the sea route to Ludan City, so that most of the trade could not come in or go out. Income decreased and prices began to rise. Although there were land transportation supplies, everyone was out of work.

As a result, everyone will subconsciously panic about the future, worrying that this situation will continue for a long time.

The vast majority of residents in Ludan City want to start saving money now.

However, sometimes saving is not a good thing.

Blacklett looked at the green liquid oozing from the fish hanging in the glass cabinet, and I shook my head with a nauseous feeling in my stomach.

"What about the water source of Ludan City? Where does the water come from?"

Having confirmed the fish meat, Blacklett next looked at the water source.

At this moment, Hei Lai Te had actually confirmed the situation, and the second mate's answer confirmed Hei Lai Te's guess.

Hei Lai Te and Nilan Xue'er did not show any symptoms of illness or poisoning. That was because Nilan Xue'er and Hei Lai Te did not eat the same food or drink the same water as the residents of Ludan City.

The second mate was fine because he only drank alcohol and did not eat the meat of mermen like the other residents.

According to the clues given by Lalela, if the residents' bodies gradually began to transform into mermen because they ate the fish meat of the mermen, then the problem with the fish meat would have been discovered long ago.

Since we can continue to eat the flesh of these fish people, it means that the problem is not just the fish meat.

After all, there are actually some residents who are resistant to eating the flesh of mermen, but Kalala can smell the scent of mermen on most of the residents of the city of Ludan.

Water source is also a very important factor. As a port city, Ludun needs to consume fresh water every day.

"Oh, the water source is over there."

The second mate vaguely understood what Hei Lai Te was doing, and now cooperated and led Hei Lai Te to the source of water in Ludan City.

While leading the way, the second mate told Heilite about the relevant matters.

"There is a reservoir with a magic circle over there. That reservoir will provide fresh water for everyone's taps in Ludan City. The fresh water in that reservoir is directly filtered from seawater."

"That magic circle was made by Ms. Nilan Xueer, so everyone is relieved."

"Of course, ordinary people have no way of getting in. Only people with the same strength as Ms. Nilan Xueer can set foot in that place."

Indeed, Nilan Xueer is here.

It seems that there is really no need to worry too much, but in fact, the plagues in Ludan City are not caused by magic.

Nilanxue'er was still racking her brains over what kind of magic that was, which was understandable because Nilanxue'er did not come from the masses, nor did she go to the masses.

The noble and powerful ice beauty has no idea how the residents below live. She is also confident in her own strength and does not think that anyone can do anything to the place she protects.

But Hei Lai Te was different. Although Hei Lai Te ate and drank with Nilan Xueer, he understood the lives of the lower-class residents very well, and he had suffered a lot when he was a child.

As for the water source, rather than trusting that there would be no problems with Nilanxue's magic circle, Hei Lai Te believed more in Lalela's few vague words.

No one knows fish-people better than Lalila.

With this thought in mind, Heilite followed the second mate to the water source area.

"Look, this is all thanks to Ms. Nilanxue's magic. No one can get close to it. But Brother Heilite, you can see that the reservoir is normal, right? There is absolutely no problem."

Pointing to the normal scene in front of him, the second mate expressed his admiration for Nilan Xueer.

Hei Lai Te did not speak, he just looked quietly at the reservoir in front of him.
