Full-Time Magister: Super Mage

Chapter 574 The Old Woman Who Shifts Blame

Unlike Mogno, dealing with the evil energy in these prisoners doesn't require such complicated methods. You can simply take out the Soul-Absorbing Pearl and inject magical energy to absorb the evil energy from their bodies.

Of course, such violence would have side effects, but the impact was not significant and he could recover after a few days of rest. Therefore, Jiang Han operated without any burden and absorbed all the evil energy in the prisoner's body into the Soul-Capturing Pearl in just a few breaths.

Thump, thump...

After Jiang Han had Xue Ling remove the ice from the prisoners' bodies, all the prisoners who had been trapped by the ice fell asleep immediately. As for when they would wake up, it would naturally take several days.

"Is that all?" Fen Ai looked at the unconscious prisoners with some suspicion. It wasn't that she didn't believe it, but it was beyond her comprehension.

"Yes, the evil energy within them has been absorbed into this bead." Jiang Han said as he put away the Soul-Capturing Bead, which had turned dark red and was filled with evil energy.

Xin Xia also used her mind magic to check the situation. As Jiang Han had said, it had indeed been resolved. She nodded and said, "It has indeed been cleaned up. However, because these people's souls have been eroded by evil energy for a long time, they are somewhat weak after the evil energy was extracted from their bodies and will need some time to wake up."

"That's great! After we finish this mission, we'll go back and see if those people still dare to gossip." Fen Ai excitedly clenched her fists a few times.

"Let's go, let's go out and tell the other security guards about the situation here, and how many people in the quarantine area still need to be rescued." Jiang Han said, pushing Xin Xia towards the outside.

Jiang Han used spatial magic to send the unconscious prisoners back to their cells. It was unclear whether they were in the same cells as before, but Jiang Han thoughtfully locked them up to prevent them from running around after waking up.

After emerging from the prison for serious offenders, they saw a number of security guards waiting at the entrance, mainly because the commotion caused by Jiang Han and Mogno's earlier fight was quite loud, and anyone outside the cages, including the mage guards and security guards responsible for protecting the area, could hear it.

After Jiang Han explained the situation to the mage captain in charge of guarding the area, they allowed the group to leave. As they departed, they expressed their deepest gratitude to Jiang Han for resolving this potential problem for them.

As Jiang Han spoke, Captain Grist was also terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. If that guy continued to infect them, not only the prisoners in the heavy prison, but even the mages and security guards responsible for guarding them would not escape the fate of being corrupted.

······

When Jiang Han and his group arrived at the quarantine zone, the scene was in complete chaos. The medical facilities originally used to treat plague patients were all smashed to pieces, and even the quarantine houses that had been built were all destroyed. If it weren't for the intervention of several powerful mages in Kaka City who trapped the rioting patients in the quarantine zone, who knows how chaotic the city would have become.

Hundreds of guardian mages stood in rows at the entrance of the quarantine area, ready for action. However, they were somewhat helpless in the face of the patients. After all, those who were rioting were not demons, and it was not appropriate to use magic to forcefully suppress them. Otherwise, once these people recovered, the protesters would drown them in their spittle.

"I'm so angry! Didn't she tell you where she went?" A shrill female voice rang out in the last remaining isolation room.

"It seems like that old woman Gulan has arrived," Fen'ai whispered in Xin Xia's ear.

"Okay, let's go inside and take a look," Xinxia said.

Jiang Han then pushed Xin Xia into the isolation room, but as soon as they entered, Jiang Han saw an old woman in her thirties or forties pointing at the trainee maids and maids and scolding them. Presumably, she was the Gu Lan that Fen Ai had mentioned.

Upon seeing Xin Xia, the old woman continued her angry reprimand: "Where did you all run off to? Don't you see what this place has become? How dare you abandon your posts?! When we get back, I will definitely report you to the authorities and punish you severely."

This guy is in Kakka City to investigate the situation. If it's almost resolved, he'll try to cause trouble for Xinxia. If the epidemic isn't resolved, he'll give her a good scolding. Then, when she returns to the Parthenon, he'll exaggerate the situation and tell the temple matriarch, hoping to get her to remove Xinxia from her position as a candidate goddess.

However, the situation here was somewhat beyond Gulan's expectations. As soon as she arrived, she saw patients in the quarantine area rioting with bloodshot eyes. The situation escalated to another level. Many citizens of the city were terrified, and some local government officials even suggested that the patients be humanely euthanized to prevent the disease from spreading to other places.

Before Xinxia could speak, another person walked in from outside. It was a middle-aged man in a mage uniform, whose name seemed to be Dari. He was the mage commander in charge of the quarantine zone, but he wasn't wearing any badges to show his identity. He was probably going to be the scapegoat for the final humane treatment.

"The Parthenon sent you bunch of greenhorn girls, very well. If you don't want to help us Koria, just say so. There's no need for this pretense. We Koria people don't need your pity. I trusted you Saintess Ander so much, and you sent only a few people." As soon as Darry entered, he looked for the older Gulan to give him an explanation.

"Well, this matter... this matter actually has nothing to do with our Saintess Ander. We sent this candidate goddess a long time ago, but we didn't expect that she couldn't even handle such a thing." Gu Lan directly pushed all the responsibility onto Xin Xia. At first, she was defending herself in a low voice, but the more she talked, the more she felt that what she said made sense, and her voice became a few decibels louder.
