Chapter 148: Two or Three Things Before the Storm 2
(Thank you for the monthly pass!)
The three young men chatted enthusiastically, learning from Charlotte and Claire, who were brothers and sisters, and the experience of living and dying together on the water. They haven't seen each other for a few years, but they are the same as their teachers, and there is no difference between them at all.
Several people talked about Nell, who was far away in Locente, mentioned their adventures in Rosente a while ago, and talked about their growth and changes over the years. Even though the threat of the undead catastrophe was imminent, the three young people actually felt a rare joy in the calm before the storm.
A few people were chatting enthusiastically while doing things. When he was in the middle of the excitement, suddenly, the crowd in line suddenly broke into a commotion.
The three of them followed the sound, and saw a man who was dressed in tatters in the middle of the winter shouting loudly.
"What! I used to give out this medicine, but now it's free, but who knows if this medicine is useful? Speaking of which, many of my friends around me who drank the old potion have become undead, so there should be a problem with these potions!"
His shouting soon caused an uproar in the crowd.
Although at Moon's insistence, Zenas issued a strict gag order to the military, strictly forbidding anyone to leak out the potion issue. But firstly, there is no impermeable wall in this world, and secondly, people are not all stupid, and all the people around them who have become dead spirits are unlucky people who have drunk those potions, and anyone will notice the slightest hint.
It's just that under the control of speech, most of the people dare not be suspicious of the official, and the relief of the lighthouse after the incident is relatively timely, so no one discusses the matter.
But today, someone is going to suddenly make trouble in the distribution of medicines, no matter what kind of mentality he has, but if he doesn't deal with it in time, it is a small matter for the lighthouse to cause a credit crisis, and if the people themselves break out in unnecessary panic and chaos before the natural disaster really comes, then it is called a real disaster.
The man's shouting made more and more people suspicious of these potions, and in front of Leonard and the others, the person at the front of the long line was obviously expecting a look just now, but now he did not dare to receive the potion at his fingertips, until the soldier in charge of distributing it impatiently urged, he hesitated to take the potion.
While Lolita and Vivien were secretly angry about this, but they were helpless, Leonard's eyes were dark, and a sneer appeared on his face.
He flicked his sleeves off the long table, casting spells as he walked there, and in just a few steps he had built a model of the spell. Leonard pointed his hand at the man who was shouting at the beginning, and with a strong acid shot, he hit the man who was still inciting the crowd in the face.
The highly corrosive acid hit the man's face. Leonard seemed to deliberately control the strength of the strong acid technique, and the man who was hit was not dead for a while, and the dark green acid melted down his face, dissolving the skin and muscles all over his body.
Not only that, but Leonard also seemed to have secretly unleashed a necromancy-based life-enhancing spell on the man. The man who had made trouble at the beginning knelt on the ground and was tormented by pain and wailed loudly, he wanted to cover the facial muscles that were gradually corroded, but he felt more intense pain at the moment of touching, so he could only hide his face with one hand and ask for help from the scattered crowd around him with the other.
Even the outstretched hand was corroded by the strong acid at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the end, his bloody face was staring at the twisted and strange eyeballs, and he could only look at the hand that turned into white bones at an extremely fast speed with fear and despair.
People screamed in fear at his miserable appearance, and the panic about the potion was replaced by a new one, and as the panic was about to spread, Leonard used the amplification spell to speak loudly.
"This man is a spy sent by the evil mage who created the plague, so that we can get ourselves into trouble and suspicion of each other! That mage's evil intentions are simply disgusting, and he cannot defeat us, so he wants us to hurt each other. But because of this, it means that the mage is already afraid! He is afraid of us, so he will use this indiscriminate means to make us doubt each other!"
In the aftermath of that catastrophe, the panic in people's hearts was already approaching a tipping point, and people desperately needed confidence, even if the information that gave them confidence was false. For the vast majority of people, living in a false dream is the courage to continue in the cold reality.
And Leonard took advantage of their psychology to kill the first evil with thunder, and while showing his strength, he also gave them a false dream - that is, the enemy is afraid!
Since the enemy is so frightened that he will send out nobodies to resort to such unseemly means, what should we be afraid of? As long as we remain unmoved and trust each other, the dawn of victory will come sooner or later!
This pie is more useful than expected, and in just a few moments, Leonard not only turned the situation around, but also gave people confidence in the future. His methods against the man were cruel, but they were excellent.
Mason gave him a thumbs up and immediately sent someone to maintain order. Leonard, who had solved the problem, returned to the long table, and when he noticed Lolita and Vivian's slightly unfamiliar but admiring eyes, the boy who had just been invincible had an uneasy expression on his face.
"Don't, don't get me wrong, I'm not that cruel and want to ...... him like that," he said incoherently.
Lolita and Vivien had smiles on their faces, just like Charlotte and Claire who weren't far from them.
"You have a good disciple!" Charlotte exclaimed sincerely, "I even think he is more decisive than me!"
In the only three-story single-family building in the relief site, Charlotte, leaning against the window, said to Claire.
The two of them were holding hot tea, and Charlotte was enjoying a rare moment of calm with a cigarette in her hand.
"Then you're in vain. You know, I've always taught Leonard to be as decisive as your Charlotte teacher. ”
That's because I had the opportunity to start all over again, and only now do I realize that I am far from being as decisive as I imagined, and my heart is far from being as strong as I imagined. ”
"I said, you are belittled. Claire looked at Charlotte with sincerity in her eyes, "Believe me, there are not many people in this world who would take the risk of cutting Lu Sien's soul. Few people were willing to give up the immense magical power, the transcendent thoughts, and the power of death reset. Charlotte, believe me, you're far better than you ever thought you were!"
"Really?" said Charlotte, spitting out smoke rings and laughing.
"If you think you're incompetent, what am I, who has always considered you your biggest competitor?" said Claire, holding out her hand, asking Charlotte for a cigarette as if not to be outdone. He lit his cigarette and said with a smile, "You know, I don't want to admit I'm an incompetent guy!"
The two of them laughed happily as before!
