"It's infected, in the farmland just outside Sylvie City. Qin Kuairen pointed to the one that Zhang Tong took out and the withered barley leaf appeared. Von Meier's eyes instantly sharpened.

..............................

The lord of Sylvie City, Kamaisi, was a middle-aged man in his sixties who looked wise and elegant. To be the lord of a city, he naturally has his own means.

You must know that there are no hereditary nobles and positions in satellite cities near the Immortal City, which is different from other human nations. All of the city lords, as well as the appointments to the top positions within the city, come from the mage guild of the Immortal City.

All the lords are accountable to the mages of the Immortal City. The position is not permanent, and there are no titles of nobility, so it is important to maintain and protect one's position.

And if you want to maintain your position, you must maintain your favorability with the mages in the Immortal City.

So when Venerable von Meel and his team came to inspect Sylvie City, Carmaisey gave a grand welcome. In his villa on the outskirts of Sylvie West, he prepared a ball dinner to entertain von Meier.

It's not just that Von Meier is a fifth-order mage, so it's important, but more importantly, Von Meier's teacher, who is one of the five legendary mages and one of the five highest speakers in the Immortal City. He can remove himself as the city lord with a word, and only by coaxing such a mage can he better protect his position.

The welcome was ready, and all the celebrities and dignitaries of the city rushed to the dinner, especially those with unmarried daughters in their families. They would dress up their daughters for dinner.

Originally, this kind of upper-class dinner party had the function of protecting the media and pulling fiber for their children, just enough for the two young people to get to know each other at the ball.

What's more, the twenty-nine-year-old Venerable Von Meier is still single, which is too attractive. If you can marry your daughter to this mage who has a great future in the future, then you can be a person who has attained the Tao and ascended to heaven!

A group of Sylvie City upper-class people with various ideas gathered in the villa of Carmaisey in anticipation of von Meier's arrival.

They were looking forward to the stars and the moon, but they were expecting not very good news.

"I'm sorry that the teacher can't come to the dinner because he is not feeling well, so I can only bring the teacher to attend. I'm sorry, Lord Camersey. "The emir wore an evening dress and gave a ladylike salute to Kamaisi.

Kamaisi laughed on his face: "It's okay, it's okay. Master von Meer is very busy, I know, he and His Excellency Carter (Mr. von Meer) are working day and night in the Tower of Immortal on how to crack the plague of leaf blight, and he rarely has time to relax. If he wants to rest in the hotel, he will sleep well, and tomorrow will be busy again. ”

Kamaithy did not seem to be disappointed at all that von Meier did not come to the ball, but greeted the rest of the team that von Meier had brought with him.

And the emir has become the focus of many people's attention, especially those who are single and unmarried. An eighteen-year-old young and beautiful first-order mage with outstanding talent, this is like a hungry dog that has seen flesh and bones to them. After Emir danced the first opening dance with the host of the city, Kamaisi smiled and distanced himself from her, and in an instant, several young talents swarmed up and invited Emir to dance with him.

Silently, he retreated to the large terrace outside the banquet hall. He whispered to a man in black hidden in the dark corner of the terrace, "Are you sure von Meier is in the tavern?"

"Yes, Lord Castle. He hadn't come out of the tavern since he arrived in Sylvie City. When he checked in, he felt very tired, he should be really tired. ”

Kamaixi nodded, "That's good." Don't let him out. How's things going outside the city?"

"I'm working overtime, Lord Castle. However, there are a lot of fields where leaf litter has been found, and about 200 acres of barley fields have been affected, and our people are uprooting all the diseased barley fields and transplanting new barley plants into the fields. The figure in the darkness hesitated at this point, but continued to speak.

"My lord, leaf blight is contagious. According to the rules of the Immortal City, if you find a leaf blight, you must burn the entire field to prevent the infection. ”

"We just uproot the diseased plants and plant new ones, and we can't control the disease. The man in black reminded in a whisper.

Kamaixi snorted coldly: "Of course I know. But you have to know what day it is. My term as city director is coming to an end, and Von Meier's teacher, Carter, is qualified to decide directly whether or not I should be re-elected. At this critical juncture, agriculture is the key of the key, and the mages of the Immortal City have repeatedly issued statements demanding that the plague not be allowed to spread. ”

"It is my dereliction of duty to discover the plague in my subordinate at this time. Do you know what that means?" said Camercy's words calmly, but the man in black hidden in the corner knew the turmoil in Camercy's heart.

The man in black asked, "Why don't we just burn those farmlands now?"

"You've been following me for more than ten years, when did you become so stupid? Burning a piece of farmland now will definitely arouse von Meier's suspicions, how will you answer when the time comes?" said Camerasse coldly.

But the man in black still reminded in a low voice: "But this may allow the plague to spread......"

"It's okay, you guys hurry up and get the plants done. Tomorrow I will take Von Meier directly to inspect the farmland, wait for him to inspect it first, and then set off a fire two days later to burn down the thousands of acres of farmland around it. Make an excuse to find a few unlucky ghosts from the city defense team. Let's just say that they were fishing in the wild and deserting barbecues, which caused the farmland to be burned. You can do it. ”

Camerzy briefly explained how to deal with these things. But the man in black still had something to say, and he really wanted to ask: what if the plague spread because the farmland was not burned in time?

But Kamaisi didn't give him time to speak anymore, and Kamaisi waved his hand: "Hurry up and do it." Everything is done tonight, and tomorrow morning I will take von Meier to inspect. ”

The words of the man in black were not spoken in the end, but quietly hidden in the darkness.

Kamaisi looked at the thick night, his eyes like water.

........................

On the eastern outskirts of Sylvie City, about twelve kilometers from Sylvie City, a group of men dressed in black are working hard. They are pulling out plants infected with leaf litter from the field and loading fresh green plants into the land.

"Hurry up, move fast! We're going to get all the work done tomorrow morning. "Someone is urging everybody to step up.

Because of the tight time and heavy tasks, many people in black pulled out the plants and threw them next to the farmland at will. Infected plants are mixed with plants that are not yet infected.

They were hard at work, but they didn't know that in the darkness there were two pairs of angry eyes that were about to catch fire.
