Mage Tower

Herrera waved her hands . "Let's move on . It's rare for you to come back . I shouldn't worry you about these things . The military will take care of it, and the dean already went there a week ago . They should be able to get it under control . "

Things seemed urgent, but those who had gone mad were all ordinary citizens . No matter what, their combat abilities were limited . Magicians and the military were enough .

Link shook his head . "Tutor, you seem worried . The disease might not be so simple… There shouldn't be any cases at the academy, right?"

Herrera sighed . "There are some . One is inside my magic cage . "

"Take me to them," Link said . Not even the G.o.d of Light's divine spell could cure them, and they showed characteristics of a contagious disease . This was strange and unsettled him .

Since Link wanted to see, Herrera wouldn't refuse him . Standing up, she said, "Come with me . "

The three walked out of the room . Rylai was curious and wanted to see, but Link shooed her away halfway there . "This is for adults . You go read your books . "

Rylai pouted and walked away sadly . Link and Herrera entered the bas.e.m.e.nt of the Mage Tower .

The bas.e.m.e.nt had three floors . The top floor was for food storage . The next was the negative energy pool of the Mage Tower, and the last floor was the magic cage .

Most of those imprisoned there were commonly-seen creatures, such as low-level werewolves, young vampires, and corpse-eating spirits . They weren't powerful and were used to educate scholars .

The mad patient was imprisoned there, as well .

There were many independent cells in the prison . All the cells were shaped like beehives, and the entrances were locked with translucent magic doors . When the door opened, the creatures all started howling and crying . When they saw Herrera, they started yelling even louder . Some of the more human-like ones even threatened her .

"Let me go, Magician . Otherwise, I'll rip you apart one day!" a werewolf with sharp claws said .

"Evil witch, you're dead! Dead! Dead!" That came from a human-faced black widow spider . It sped around its web and shrieked in its piercing voice .

"Oh, oh, so tasty . So delicious!" That was a small corpse-eating spirit .

Then Link entered the hall .

The cells that had been unruly a moment ago instantly silenced . Many creatures shrunk into corners and hid . The human-faced widow spider shook and fell down from its web with a clunk .

Herrera giggled . "These things are only scared of the difficult ones . "

The creatures were sensitive and knew that Herrera was easy to sway, so they liked to throw insults . However, Link had killed countless people on the Northern battlefield and had a deathly air about him . Others might not have been able to sense it, but these creatures discovered it instantly . Faced with this, they were all terrified .

Walking along the tunnel, Herrera stopped at the back right corner . "It's this cell . "

With a soft poof, she cast a light spell above the cell and illuminated it . Through the translucent magic door, Link saw a person squatting in the corner . He was a muscular man around thirty-five years old . He wore a regular merchant robe, but the fabric had been ripped . It hung around him in shreds .

Stimulated by the bright light, the man looked up blankly at the white light on the ceiling . This allowed Link to see his eyes .

They had become pure black with no sclera or pupil . His eyes were like two black sockets . Then Link looked to his hands, feet, and teeth . There were no changes; they were just like an ordinary man's .

"The eyes are the only change," Herrera whispered . "The other abnormalities are all in action and behavior . Look how he's squatting right now . Doesn't he look like an animal?"

Indeed, he squatted with his hands on the ground . He looked like he would pounce at any moment .

"Open the magic door . Show me his fighting abilities," Link said .

Herrera nodded . Before opening the door, she reminded him, "Don't think he's always this quiet . When he's active, he's quite fast . "

"I understand . "

Buzz . The moment the door opened, the man's head whipped over . A guttural sound came from his throat and he jumped, pouncing towards Link . He really was quite fast—equal to a Level-1 Warrior . But in Link's eyes, his movements were in slow motion .

Without even using his wand, he reached out . Dragon Power surged and a Spatial Sphere appeared . The person froze in mid-air .

Link walked closer to investigate . The man's face was menacing, teeth bared and muscles pulled taut . His skin was pale and wrinkled . He had many rotting ulcers . The worst was on his left leg, where the skin and muscle was decayed to the bone . He didn't seem to feel any pain . He just looked wild and savage .

It seemed that he'd completely become an animal .

Link circled him and found something that made no sense .

"There are no maggots in his ulcers . Did you treat him?" Link asked . The ulcers were so deep and the environment was so dirty . There would usually be maggots all over, but this man had none .

Herrera shook her head . "Not at all . Maybe his blood is toxic . "

"I didn't sense any abnormal auras in him, either . It looks just like a regular disease . How long does it usually last?"

"I don't know the specific timeframe, but this guy is from the first batch . It's already been three weeks . He eats everything and until now, there have been no weaknesses other than the ulcers . "

Link wasn't very familiar with diseases and couldn't find anything wrong by looking . After a few minutes, he shook his head . "Other than losing his mind, I can't find anything . It looks like rabies, but they live longer . "

This disease couldn't be cured with divine spells and spread quickly . Other than that, it was nothing special . It wasn't very threatening, either . Now that the military and Magicians had joined the cause, they could definitely control it .

Link had been unsettled before . After seeing this patient, he felt more rea.s.sured . He left the cell, and Herrera closed the magic door again .

"How do you usually treat these patients?"

"We haven't found an antidote yet . The only thing we can do to most patients is kill them and then burn the corpses," Herrera said .

Link considered this, then asked, "If a regular person lives near them, is it possible for them to catch the disease?"

"Yes, but not very likely . It's more possible for weaker ones to be infected . The stronger and healthier you are, the lower the possibility . Currently, n.o.body above Level-4 will be infected unless they're bitten . "

Herrera's explanation was very detailed . It was clear she'd studied this plague .

Hearing this, Link's worries were mostly gone . He sighed . "Tutor, you're right . The military and Magicians can easily control the spread of this disease . I hope they can hurry so fewer people will die . "

"Hopefully . And I hope the alchemists can quickly find a cure . " Herrera walked out and said, "All right, we can discuss your matters now . "

Link nodded and handed over the two enchantment books . "I plan on creating an enchantment workshop in Ferde . For this, I want to recruit some Magicians who specialize in enchantments . Apprentices will work, too . I can train them . I wrote these two books for this . "

Herrera paused to flip through the pages . Intrigued, she said, "Let's go back to the top level . I want to read closely . "

"Of course . "

The two went to the hall in the top level, and Herrera started reading seriously . She read quickly, and the books were simple, without much content . She finished quickly . At the end, she looked up as if antic.i.p.ating more . "Is that it?"

The book started off complicated and ended simply . It was very interesting, without any of the usual, boring parts . The enchantment methods included were also innovative . Even she was inspired and wanted to go experiment with them .

There were only two books . Herrera felt that she'd only taken two bites and the delicious meal was already gone . It didn't sate her at all!

"Yeah, I only wrote two books . " Link shrugged .

"There's no problem in looking for Magicians," Herrera said . "I'll publish this news . Many Magicians will definitely come to you . However, these two books aren't enough for a thank you gift . These are great for the basics, but they're too simple . There's none of the truly good content . "

With that, Herrera looked at Link and smiled . It was clear that she required more gifts .

Link sighed . "I'll send more books as soon as I finish writing . However, only these two can be published . The others will be for your eyes only . "

"That's better . And how come the foreword for the outline is blank?" Herrera asked .

Link chuckled . "I was hoping you could fill it in for me . "

Herrera smiled . "I would be honored to . "

She immediately picked up her pen . Link took a book and started reading casually . While reading, his ears twitched . He looked out the window .

Outside the window, a group of carriages were entering the East Cove Magic Academy . When they stopped, Link saw Dean Anthony bring a team of Magicians in . Judging from his expression, he was furious .

"Tutor, the dean is back . The situation doesn't look so good . "

Herrera walked over and did a double take . Seeing Dean Anthony throw his hat to the ground, she furrowed her brows . "I've known him for more than twenty years . He's never lost his temper like this . What happened?"
