Chapter 9 Leo and the Purple Eye Disease
"Dad, Daddy!"
As dusk fell, the little boy knelt on the ground and wept bitterly. Most of the onlookers were at a loss, with only a few offering comfort, while a small group looked at Lin Tian with strange eyes.
Lin Tian felt that his actions were becoming more and more like those of a demon. Looking at the crying little boy, his guilt was not as strong as he had imagined.
That child's name is Noel, right...?
"Brother, you've got impressive skills!"
Just as Lin Tian was in a daze, a soft, feminine voice drifted from the left. Lin Tian turned his head and saw that it was Mr. Leo, the doctor who had cured the sick and saved lives.
"I arrived in this village more than ten days ago..."
Ignoring Lin Tian's questioning gaze, Mr. Leo began to speak to himself.
“On the day I first arrived, I discovered that there was a disease in the village. Those infected had purple pupils, their emotions changed drastically, and they would beat anyone they saw in the village. The villagers all thought they were cursed.”
"Only I know that this is a strange infectious disease."
"I call it, Purple Eye Disease!"
After saying that, he took out a purple notebook from his pocket, on which was a purple three-eyed eye.
"I started wandering around to study this disease. Over the years, I have taken many notes and, with the help of my mentor, developed a new type of spell. This spell can slow down the spread of the purple eye disease in patients. As for a cure, it still depends entirely on luck."
"Fortunately, a few days ago I managed to save all the sick people in the village."
Leo opened the notebook and flipped it to the next page. Lin Tian looked at it and saw that it contained a description of the symptoms of purplish pupil disease.
Snapped!
Just as Lin Tian was about to continue watching, Leo slammed the laptop shut.
"Judging from your agility, you must be an extraordinary being, right?"
Extraordinary?
Leo's words diverted Lin Tian's attention, pulling him away from the notebook and handing him a glass of water.
"Yes."
Lin Tian took the water but didn't drink it. Although he didn't know if he was a superhuman, he still agreed to it first. He was quite good at exaggerating.
"I see. No wonder you took care of those two monsters so easily, brother."
"Mr. Leo is one of them, isn't he? After all, he has that kind of magic."
"Yes, I am a newly promoted sorcerer."
What is "entering the ranks"? Am I considered to have entered the ranks? And what is a sorcerer?
Lin Tian felt completely ignorant, and looking at this strange man, he didn't really want to ask.
We'll ask in the town later. The village chief said it's a very prosperous place, and there should be other superhumans there.
"The village chief called me, I have to go see him, we'll talk again when I have time."
Leo gave Lin Tian a farewell bow, then jogged away and disappeared from Lin Tian's sight.
"Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
...............................
As night fell, a half-moon hung in the night sky, and the Black Forest Village also entered the darkness.
"Mr. Leo, please have a drink!"
"Village chief, please too!"
suck~
A snotty-nosed child held a bottle of a special beverage developed in the town of Wells. After taking two cups, he first filled Leo's cup to the brim, but then hesitated when it was the village chief's turn.
Slurp~ Slurp~
Click!
The cap of the special drink was put back on, and the little slug ran to get a glass of water and then filled the village chief's glass.
"Hahaha!"
"You little brat!"
Upon seeing this, old Tick's forehead instantly creased with wrinkles, while Leo laughed heartily beside him.
"I finally get to sit at your house, and you treat this old man like this? Go, go, go find your grandparents."
"Haha, village chief, don't be angry. This little guy has no parents. He loved this drink the first time he saw it. He only gave it to me because I gave it to him. Here, village chief, you should try it."
Leo said with a smile as he handed over the drink he was holding.
"What kind of drink is this? This is the first time I've ever had it."
"It was brought from Wells town. I don't know who developed it. It's said to have originated from a brothel, and it tastes pretty good."
"By the way, Mr. Leo, what brings you here? You even invited me to this child's home. If there's anything you need my help with, I'll do my best to assist you."
During the day, he promised Mr. Leo that he would do anything if he could save his friend's son. Although he ultimately failed, he could see that Leo had tried his best.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony. The village chief knows I'm researching violet eye disease, right? And I've recently made some new progress in my research. I've discovered that violet eye disease doesn't just appear out of nowhere; it has a pathogen!"
"Pathogen?"
"That's right. According to my mentor and my recent investigation, we have discovered that violet eye disease is caused by the decomposition products of a creature, and this creature is the pathogen of violet eye disease."
"How do we find this creature? Why is there no trace of it in Black Forest Village?"
Tick was very anxious. He didn't want to see anyone around him get this disease anymore. He was getting old and couldn't bear to see older people outlive their children.
"Village chief, don't get agitated. Have some water first, and I'll explain it to you slowly."
Leo watched quietly as the village chief drank the water from the cup, and then spoke under Tick's anxious gaze.
"Although I haven't found that creature yet, I have some clues."
"Does the village chief still remember those two outsiders who came today?"
"what happened?"
"Do you know who one of them is, who's completely covered up?"
"know."
"Today, while chatting with these two outsiders, I used a spell to detect the Purple Eye Disease on them, and the result was..."
"Sigh! I won't beat around the bush anymore. To tell you the truth, I feel that the person who is covered up is the pathogen, and the other person is covering for him."
Clang!
Tick suddenly stood up, knocking over the half-finished special drink he was drinking.
"Mr. Leo, this can't be...!"
"They even helped us subdue those monsters this morning, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Tick questioned Leo's words deeply, knowing that his hatred for outsiders stemmed from the fact that his birth village had been destroyed by them, a hatred that ran deep in his subconscious.
But that doesn’t mean he was ignorant of right and wrong. Although those two were a bit strange, they shouldn’t have been labeled as pathogens as soon as they arrived in the village.
"There's no mistake, village chief. Think carefully about why some people fell ill as soon as they arrived in the village. I had already cured everyone. Also, village chief, think back to who killed those two villagers. Think carefully."
Under Leo's influence, the village chief's body stiffened, and his pupils slowly turned purple. His intended rebuttal turned into:
"Yes...it was them..."
"Those two hateful..."
"Stranger!"
