A dragon who doesn't want to be a killer is not a good businessman

The town of Apolls is located north of Port Saint-Lun and southwest of the town of Windsor. It is not far from the valley where the two of them are, but it is still quite a distance.

But with His Majesty the King, it was like cheating. It was like a teleportation spell without any loss. It was just a tap on the shoulder twice, and it was confirmed each time.

"I seem to have heard that the loss of one teleport usually causes an archmage to temporarily use up all his magic and basically lose all combat capabilities?"

Mo Gan finally couldn't help but ask this question.

"That's right." Lucifer nodded with a calm attitude, "But I'm not an Archmage."

These words really choked Mo Gan, for fear that the next few sentences would be the same as before, "familiar with all magic", "as long as magic exists" and so on, and finally the topic would change back to "I am difficult to kill".

It is unbearable and unjust.

And there is something else important now. The town of Abols is in flames.

Seeing that the residents of the town were evacuating the fire site one after another, and the order was still relatively good, Mogan realized that the biggest attack target was actually deep in the forest, and shelling was a well-thought-out way of counterattack by the residents.

The strong residents in the town held weapons and aimed at the plant monsters that were stagnant. They took turns cutting off their branches and vines, digging them out one by one, removing their tools of evil, and at the same time evacuated with the vulnerable young and old.

Fortunately, although they look scary, the mutant plants produced by the mutation of ordinary plants are not that threatening.

Compared to the intelligent magical plants on the cargo ship, they don't know how to attack humans intelligently and just rely on instinct.

According to Mogan's short-term observation, the dynamics can be roughly divided into trying to entangle and beat with vines and branches, and the most basic defense and dodge cannot be done.

But they are better in number - the spores scatter in the air after each plant is chopped down.

The residents are not aware of this yet, but Mogan knows it very well, but he understands better that rashly intervening now will only make things worse.

When he just arrived, Lucifer raised his hand and used a water balloon technique to extinguish the blazing fire on a bush around the town, and then he flicked it away.

As expected, I raised my hand and folded it inward, and spore powder appeared in my palm.

His Majesty the King's face also darkened.

The worst expectation has happened so early.

"I need to study the counter-spell immediately." Lucifer concluded hastily.

This is a sensible approach.

After finding a quiet place for His Majesty the King, Mogan looked around and asked a few people who seemed to know the facts relatively well, and roughly got the outline of the beginning of the incident.

A child of a resident's family was so frightened by the moving branches that he screamed when he was playing. He told his close friends in the area about the incident and it became known throughout the town.

Because of this situation, people were able to notice that there was more than one moving plant, and one that almost slowly strangled a hungover man to sleep rested on the side of the road.

Fortunately, so far, only people have been injured and beaten, but no one has been killed.

But for the sake of safety, residents still made a temporary decision to burn the suspicious targets first.

The mutated plant was first discovered in the corner of the town of Abols, outside a warehouse where goods were stored, on a grassy field designed for children to play.

"It seems that there is indeed something wrong with the plants that were sold."

Morgan was not surprised.

There is even a considerable possibility that the spread started long before they boarded the cargo ship, and that the source was in the family area where residents gathered. During the day, most young and middle-aged people went to the market and port in Abols Town.

Otherwise, the number of mutations would not be that large.

There are countless half-orcs who live and work in peace and contentment in the town. They are just wearing disguises. Preliminary judgment is that it is to suit their accustomed living environment. Most of the buildings are surrounded by vegetation.

Taken together, it is an excellent communication environment.

As long as one spore leaks out and infects natural plants into puppets of magical power, it will attack others, be destroyed, and then release the spores.

The cycle continues until the commotion is discovered by most residents and chaos completely breaks out.

Originally, the viable spores were collected just to test whether ordinary plants would be affected in the same way.

It stands to reason that as long as magic power is not used to attack the plants in a stable state, the known crisis in the town will not break out. But something went wrong before they had time to test. This is an unexpected situation, but it is also reasonable.

——Everything went smoothly on the cargo ship, with almost no obstacles other than being crushed by plants and a series of traps with evil intentions.

Without meeting the mysterious psychic magician himself, at least someone like Mo Gan would not be blindly optimistic. Putting himself into the perspective of the instigator, he could naturally draw the conclusion:

Perhaps the other party has completed its own goal and is therefore indifferent to the subsequent whereabouts of the cargo ship. Such a powerful mage will naturally not abandon half of his work and let others destroy it.

However, the cargo ship remaining at sea is a backup operational equipment depot after all.

It's a good thing to explode.

However, Morgan had already begun to think about the consequences. He pondered for a moment, suddenly remembered something, and found Lucifer next to him who was concentrating on studying the counter-spell.

"Is there a kind of magic that can remotely summon my magic 'carrier pigeon'?"

Now that you know you can take a shortcut, take it to the end.

Previously, his eagle owl flew away at the King's call and stayed with His Majesty the King for a long time. Now Lucifer naturally knew what he was talking about.

Mainly because time is running out now, Mo Gan feels that he needs to contact someone urgently.

"You mean to use the animal taming spell on Hammer? Of course you can." Lucifer took the time to recite the spell, looked up at the sky, paused, "Wait a moment, it will come after receiving the signal... You should not have put it

Lock it up?”

Mo Gan laughed and said, "No, it's mainly not necessary."

Hammer is more like a loyal helper employed by the Grande family than a captive family pet. Not only himself, but also generations of eagle owls from his ancestors have been wandering around the farm run by Lindero Grande before he became a knight.

Led by Hammer and his unknown partner, there are a large number of large and small eagle owls, various owls and exotic birds raised in the Grand Manor. They all grow up on the food fed by the steward of the Grand Manor.

big.

As one of the most gifted magical carnivore birds, Hammer probably prefers a job with stable returns, such as delivering letters, to the extremely exciting and risky hunting.

——The canteen opened by the boss is large and delicious and full of food. Not only does it provide food and accommodation for the family, but it also provides a playground. Hamer is a loyal person who will not run away even if he is chased.

Only then did Mogan have the time to take a closer look. His Majesty the King was sitting under the tree, not caring about the dirt. He had a broken vine attached to his wrist and two branches between his fingers.

Next to him, a small piece of "ash" composed of revealed spores has been piled up, which is Lucifer's research material along with the living mutated plants.

"How long will it take?" Mogan couldn't help but ask.

"Maybe soon..."

Lucifer moved quickly. When he raised his hand, another section of the branch turned into white ash. He frowned and put the spores back to the place beside him that had been specially cleaned and covered with a protective cover.

The need to create a counter-spell is not just to destroy the spores. Of course, His Majesty the King will not be completely without a method as destructive as Dragon Flame, but the nature may not meet the requirements, and the required mage conditions are also higher.

The reason why the Lolia flower had to be exterminated in the first place was because apart from the places where intelligent groups could come into contact, there were still large areas of virgin forest that no one cared about.

As long as there are flowers and spores there, and the seeds and sources of mutation float to where the tribe lives, the original disaster may return with a vengeance.

The human race is a race that has grown up after struggling for thousands of years under the enemy of the whole world.

Because of this, when encountering this possibility, people will learn the lessons of history and nip the danger in the bud even if they pay a heavy price.

What Lucifer has to do now is to create a way to eliminate this disaster at the beginning and use the power of many mages to curb its spread.

After a while, Hammer arrived.

It flapped its wings very fast, landed and learned its lesson, flying steadily and holding its own backpack in its mouth, just like a mature 'homing pigeon' with extremely professional qualities.

This time I even saved the effort of finding letter paper.

Morgan took out the spare property from the crack and raised his hand to make ink stains on the paper, checked it, and then immediately stuffed the note back into Hammer's small bag.

The content is very simple, just a few words.

"Go find Cecilia."

Mogan also didn't want to call his mother by her first name often, because it didn't conform to the strict etiquette he was used to insisting on.

However, Hammer is a stubborn person who only recognizes his employer by his name. Even if he understands human speech, he is quite unflexible.
