On the Seven Towers

In the distant midair, Luo Ling and Li Tianrui were observing the conversation taking place in front of Blackwood Pass. A small magic left by Luo Ling on Figueras transmitted the sound of their conversation, and Luo Ling shared it with Li Tianrui.

Li Tianrui breathed a sigh of relief and said: "These guys finally arrived safely. What I was most worried about at the beginning was meeting a general who wanted to kill the deserters. If he is killed now, then our efforts will be in vain."

Luo Ling said: "So if you want to keep a mage, no general will execute a mid-level mage just because of a defeat. But if it is a low-level warrior or a beast, they may be pushed out to blame. He might even be killed because he warned other troops not to escape easily."

"And this guy is quite good at seizing opportunities. He actually found an opportunity to show his face in front of the higher-ups by gathering defeated troops and analyzing our intelligence. This time, he might have a chance to kill all the empire's higher-ups." Li Tianrui said.

"Don't think so beautifully. The emperor, senators and nobles have the best magic and medical resources. They have all kinds of life-saving magic props and sacred tools, and they can even invite saints to take action to heal their bodies. The probability of getting sick is much higher than that of ordinary soldiers," Luo Ling said.

"Oh, it's like this in every world." Li Tianrui sighed.

"It's different. The fairness in the eyes of most people is to allocate resources through ability rather than blood or birth, but no matter which system is just a balance between the two. On this axis, no one can go Far left or far right, but what is certain is that we will be better than them in the future.”

"Haha." Li Tianrui chuckled twice, "How much stronger can it be? Some guys in the committee just want to stand closer to the cake when the cake is distributed. If they can hold the knife, then It's even more perfect. Do you think what they did to Xiao Chen and Tang Feng is really any better than the Empire's?"

"These are two different things. There will always be some people who will do anything to fight for power." Luo Ling watched Erestor and Figueras walk into Blackwood Pass, and cut off the little magic attached to Figueras. He said to Li Tianrui, "Now, we should prepare the follow-up plan."

————————————

Erestor and Figueras were given the opportunity to meet Emperor Alfred for a strategic meeting the next day.

The two met almost all the important figures in the empire in Heimuguan in the conference room. As an intermediate mage, Erestor had had the opportunity to meet the emperor before, but Figueras had never had such an opportunity.

Therefore, until Emperor Alfred asked about the situation of the battle and the two were invited out of the room, he was trembling slightly. As soon as he left the room, he asked softly: "Your Excellency Erestor! I am actually here today His Majesty has said so much in front of me, but this is an opportunity I have never had. Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

"Look how excited you are." Erestor pointed to his head and said, "You just described what happened at that time, but I also expressed a lot of my own opinions."

Figueras said: "Aren't you excited? I see your legs are still trembling slightly!"

"Shivering?" Erestor looked down at his legs. They were indeed shaking constantly, as if they were extremely tired after running for a long time. It felt a little like being seriously ill and feeling weak all over. But Erestor knew very well that there was no reason for him to tremble to such an extent. Whether it was what he was thinking or what his body was feeling, something was not right. He pinched his leg. The trembling did not stop. Instead, his hands and feet trembled slightly together. Shake.

"Sir Erestor? What's wrong with you?" At this time, Figueras also realized that something was wrong and walked over to support him.

"I, I seem to be a little uncomfortable. Maybe it's because I was too tired when I stayed up late yesterday to think about this information." Erestor said.

"Then how about I help you back to your room?" Figueras asked.

Erestor waved his hands carefully and said: "No, no, if His Majesty wants to ask us anything else, we can't just walk away. I'm just a little tired, so I can hold on."

"All right."

As it turns out, Erestor was right. Emperor Alfred called them in twice more and asked about some specific situations. When he came out for the second time, Erestor was no longer shaking, but walking a little erratically.

At this time, he finally felt that he could not hold on any longer, so Figueras sent Erestor back to the room first.

Figueras returned to his room and did not look for him again that day. He ran away for his life one day and had a meeting the next day. In fact, he also felt very tired. After eating and drinking some wine with some colleagues in the evening, he just Went back to the room early to sleep.

The next morning he went to visit Erestor again. After knocking on the door, Erestor did not come to open the door for him. Instead, he said to him through the door: "I feel like I can't get up. My body is weak and my whole body is numb." No strength, what’s going on?”

Figueras hurriedly jumped in from the window and found Erestor lying weakly on the bed. At this time, he was completely different from the high-spirited appearance yesterday morning. Not only did he lose a lot of weight overnight, but his face and body were also Some small black spots also started to appear.

Figueras said: "Your Excellency Erestor, something seems not right with you. This is definitely not caused by fatigue. Small dark spots have begun to appear on your face."

"Black spots?" Erestor suddenly began to look at Figuras, "Are you talking about the black spots on your face?"

"Me?" Figuras was shocked and ran to the corner of the room, where there was a water tank, which was used by Erestor to wash. The person reflected on the water surface of the water tank was completely different from what he remembered. All the adjectives he used to describe Erestor can be used on himself appropriately.

"Are we sick?" he asked.

"Yes. It must be a very serious disease that can change our appearance so quickly." Erestor said.

"Then should we report to Lord Moret and His Majesty the Emperor immediately?" Figuras asked hurriedly.

"No, no, no! If we report this disease now, they will definitely blame us for bringing the disease here yesterday, or even bringing it to His Majesty today. Our achievements are not worth this crime! Do you want to be arrested?"

"No, of course not, but what should we do now?"

"I know a little about healing spells. I think we should first study whether we can cure this disease with spells."
