Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 132 The Surprise of the Healing Potion

Li Yu left at a very timely moment. Shortly after he left, a team of five court mages chased after him. When they saw a dozen people lying on the ground, they couldn't help but show shock in their eyes.

"Quick, check!"

There were only a dozen people, and with five of them, the inspection was completed in one minute.

"Fortunately, everything is fine here."

A court wizard who was similar to the team leader breathed a sigh of relief and said that what they were most worried about was that these dozen apprentices and prospective judges would be killed. If this happened, the situation would develop to an irreversible point.

"There were no casualties on my side either."

"I am here too."

"..."

"Wu Feng is here!" At this moment, one of them shouted.

Wu Feng is the court mage who was defeated by Li Yu, and he was also the person sent out to explore this intelligence black hole. It was because Wu Feng lost contact that the court mage was sent out again.

"Is he in...good condition?" One of the court mages answered hesitantly after checking.

"Well, why can't we wake him up?" The leading mage frowned. They really needed information from Wu Feng now.

Wu Feng's fall was beyond the expectations of the court mage. As a court mage, Wu Feng was a high-level master of both wind and fire, and was very powerful. How could an ordinary high-level mage be his opponent? However, such a master lost contact and fell in the wild in less than twenty minutes.

Where did such a skilled expert come from among the strictly monitored Black Snake Guardian clan?
"He seems to have been anesthetized and passed out, and his lack of senses makes him completely unable to receive external stimuli." The court wizard made a judgment.

The leader mage's heart sank gradually. He hadn't received any information from Tang Yue and Mo Fan for such a long time, and now a large group of judges had fainted. Even the court mage had fallen here. It was obvious that the mysterious master who had knocked the court mage unconscious was most likely here to protect Tang Yue.

There has been no news for such a long time, Tang Yue and the others must have gone deep into the mountains.

"Report the information to the captain of the guards." The court mage who led the team sighed.

More than ten minutes later, Wu Pingjing, with a gloomy face, came here with his men. Seeing the unfortunate fellows sleeping peacefully, he asked in a deep voice:

"What's going on? They haven't woken up yet?"

The palace mage was silent for a while, lowering his head. Wu Pingjing was furious, and regardless of the presence of the outside judge, he cursed directly:
"A bunch of trash!"

Wu Pingjing and the palace guards' goal was to capture Tang Yue and Mo Fan who were carrying the totem beads. Originally, in his opinion, the court mages plus all the trainees and prospective judges had laid a net that would be absolutely foolproof. However, he never expected that he and his men didn't even know the identity of the enemy and let them escape in such a confused manner!

What a shame!
When the angry and irritated Wu Pingjing saw the people sleeping soundly, he was furious but had no one to vent his anger on, so he could only order:
"Send them to the doctor!"

……

On the other side, Li Yu, who had escaped, circled around Baishan Mountain for a day before finally returning to the civilized world. Then...

"Hmm? What am I doing here?"

Li Yu listened to the discussion about the Totem Black Snake on the roadside, and the news that the other party was blocked in West Lake by the wise and brave Councillor Zhu Meng using a super-class formation.

When he arrived at the West Lake, Li Yu could see the majestic figure of the Totem Black Snake from afar. When he saw the Totem Black Snake for the first time, he was shocked by the existence of such a powerful and terrifying creature in the world.

However, at this moment, such a giant beast was so weak. A giant snake fell dying in the West Lake, with scales all over its body, blood flowing like a river, and its weak breath seemed to indicate that it would not live long.

In this situation, Li Yu didn't have many thoughts. What he was most confused about was that Tang Yue and Mo Fan had clearly taken the totem black snake to Baishan, so how did this giant snake get to the West Lake? The big snake was here, but where were Mo Fan and Tang Yue?
The worst thing is that Li Yu also heard the news that the White Magic Eagle Legion, the overlord of Xiling, was invading on a large scale. This sudden news led to the complete closure of Hangzhou. If he didn't want to go back to the Magic City, Li Yu's only choice was to stay here in Hangzhou until he repelled the White Magic Eagle Legion.

But Li Yu, knowing that he was in a bad situation, just planned to find a place to hide until things were over. Li Yu, who was wandering aimlessly on the street, suddenly discovered a pharmacy store owned by the Shi family's Jianfeng Group. In the context of the invasion of demons and the fact that most shops were deserted, the pharmacy store with a long queue outside the door stood out so much.

Li Yu came forward and asked:

"Brother, why are you all buying potions in this store? Their potions are quite expensive, right? I see you are not a magician, so why are you here?"

"You're talking about this, of course you're here to buy that healing potion."

The brother who was questioned by Li Yu answered with a good attitude.

"Cure potion?"

"Isn't this used to treat injuries? Why are so many people coming here for treatment?" A bottle of medicine costs thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars. Ordinary people with injuries don't need such luxurious medicine. This store actually requires a long queue. Are they preparing to stock up?

"Who would buy such an expensive potion to treat injuries? What a waste."

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the elder brother whispered:
"We are doing this to prevent the plague."

"Plague?"

When Li Yu heard this sensitive word, his heart trembled.
"I heard that even healing mages are helpless against that plague. Can this little healing potion be effective?"

"It works. How can it not work?"

The elder brother said with a serious face:

"It's been spreading these days that after the plague doctors gave these medicines to people with plague attacks, the plague stopped getting worse immediately. Although it can't be cured, it can definitely save lives. Otherwise, why would I have nothing better to do than come here and buy medicine that costs thousands of dollars a bottle?"

"Besides, I heard that..."

The elder brother suddenly looked cautious, as if he was sharing a secret, and Li Yu wisely satisfied his desire to talk.

"I heard that the military mages who used the healing potion didn't get the plague very often. Even if they did, it was only mild and not life-threatening. On the contrary, many of those who used blood potions to treat injuries got the plague. So now the military is contacting these stores to purchase the healing potion."

"So this potion is so powerful."

After listening to this, Li Yu nodded deeply, as if he had suddenly realized something, and then he showed a worried expression.

"But with so many people here, won't the potion be sold out?"

"Oh, who says it isn't?"

Hearing this, the elder brother nodded with a sad face.

"I heard that most of this medicine is supplied to military mages, and only a small part is sold in the market. Now it happens that the White Magic Eagles have invaded, and the military mages have suffered heavy casualties. I heard that all the shops selling wound medicine in Hangzhou have been sold out. I think this shop will be sold out soon."

"First there was the giant snake, then there was the plague, and now there is the invasion of the white devil eagles. Isn't this just adding insult to injury?"

"Yeah yeah."

Li Yu agreed, and then asked:
"Brother, is what you said about the military blood potion and healing potion true? To be honest, my brother is a hunter and is bound to get injured outside. Now he has encountered the plague. I want to buy better potions. Should I buy this?"

"It's true! It's absolutely true! My neighbor's second uncle's brother-in-law's cousin's brother-in-law is an officer in the army. The information he gave can't be wrong."

The brother said seriously.

"Hey hey..."

Just when the elder brother and Li Yu were chatting happily, there was a commotion in front of them, and then they heard,
"How come it's gone? I've been waiting in line here for so long!"

"Yes."

"Are you planning to hoard the goods?"

Someone asked a very sharp question, and the residents who were very suspicious of the merchant's character naturally agreed with this view. It was also at this time that the store owner came out and explained with an embarrassed look:
"Everyone, please be quiet. We are really out of stock this time. Our source of goods is in Bo City, and we always purchase a limited amount. This time, the White Eagle invasion blocked our freight route. The military even bought out all the inventory in our warehouse yesterday. What we are selling today is the last of our inventory. Before the White Eagle invasion is lifted and the trade route is unblocked, we really can't produce a bottle of potion."

"How can this be possible..."

"Well, let's go to another place and have a look."

"..."

The people gathered at the store entrance dispersed reluctantly, and the old man also called Li Yu to go home. Li Yu turned around and thought,

"Are the effects of blood potions and healing potions so different?"

Li Yu, who had a general idea of ​​the composition and mechanism of action of blood potions and healing potions, knew very well that the latter would at most have an effect that was one head better, but it would never be as great as that old man said.

At this moment, Li Yu still hoped that his brother was exaggerating, otherwise...

There is a big problem here!
