Chapter 463 - The Dean is Angry (2/2)

It seemed that he’d completely become an animal.

Link circled him and found something that made no sense.

“There are no maggots in his ulcers. Did you treat him?” Link asked. The ulcers were so deep and the environment was so dirty. There would usually be maggots all over, but this man had none.

Herrera shook her head. “Not at all. Maybe his blood is toxic.”

“I didn’t sense any abnormal auras in him, either. It looks just like a regular disease. How long does it usually last?”

“I don’t know the specific timeframe, but this guy is from the first batch. It’s already been three weeks. He eats everything and until now, there have been no weaknesses other than the ulcers.”

Link wasn’t very familiar with diseases and couldn’t find anything wrong by looking. After a few minutes, he shook his head. “Other than losing his mind, I can’t find anything. It looks like rabies, but they live longer.”

This disease couldn’t be cured with divine spells and spread quickly. Other than that, it was nothing special. It wasn’t very threatening, either. Now that the military and Magicians had joined the cause, they could definitely control it.

Link had been unsettled before. After seeing this patient, he felt more reassured. He left the cell, and Herrera closed the magic door again.

“How do you usually treat these patients?”

“We haven’t found an antidote yet. The only thing we can do to most patients is kill them and then burn the corpses,” Herrera said.

Link considered this, then asked, “If a regular person lives near them, is it possible for them to catch the disease?”

“Yes, but not very likely. It’s more possible for weaker ones to be infected. The stronger and healthier you are, the lower the possibility. Currently, nobody above Level-4 will be infected unless they’re bitten.”

Herrera’s explanation was very detailed. It was clear she’d studied this plague.

Hearing this, Link’s worries were mostly gone. He sighed. “Tutor, you’re right. The military and Magicians can easily control the spread of this disease. I hope they can hurry so fewer people will die.”

“Hopefully. And I hope the alchemists can quickly find a cure.” Herrera walked out and said, “All right, we can discuss your matters now.”

Link nodded and handed over the two enchantment books. “I plan on creating an enchantment workshop in Ferde. For this, I want to recruit some Magicians who specialize in enchantments. Apprentices will work, too. I can train them. I wrote these two books for this.”

Herrera paused to flip through the pages. Intrigued, she said, “Let’s go back to the top level. I want to read closely.”

“Of course.”

The two went to the hall in the top level, and Herrera started reading seriously. She read quickly, and the books were simple, without much content. She finished quickly. At the end, she looked up as if anticipating more. “Is that it?”

The book started off complicated and ended simply. It was very interesting, without any of the usual, boring parts. The enchantment methods included were also innovative. Even she was inspired and wanted to go experiment with them.

There were only two books. Herrera felt that she’d only taken two bites and the delicious meal was already gone. It didn’t sate her at all!

“Yeah, I only wrote two books.” Link shrugged.

“There’s no problem in looking for Magicians,” Herrera said. “I’ll publish this news. Many Magicians will definitely come to you. However, these two books aren’t enough for a thank you gift. These are great for the basics, but they’re too simple. There’s none of the truly good content.”

With that, Herrera looked at Link and smiled. It was clear that she required more gifts.

Link sighed. “I’ll send more books as soon as I finish writing. However, only these two can be published. The others will be for your eyes only.”

“That’s better. And how come the foreword for the outline is blank?” Herrera asked.

Link chuckled. “I was hoping you could fill it in for me.”

Herrera smiled. “I would be honored to.”

She immediately picked up her pen. Link took a book and started reading casually. While reading, his ears twitched. He looked out the window.

Outside the window, a group of carriages were entering the East Cove Magic Academy. When they stopped, Link saw Dean Anthony bring a team of Magicians in. Judging from his expression, he was furious.

“Tutor, the dean is back. The situation doesn’t look so good.”

Herrera walked over and did a double take. Seeing Dean Anthony throw his hat to the ground, she furrowed her brows. “I’ve known him for more than twenty years. He’s never lost his temper like this. What happened?”
