The female mage's name is Leah.
Among the high-level mages in the City of Sages, she is the one who has a relatively unfriendly relationship with Yin Lian. This is not surprising, because the female mage loves the Black Sage.
In fact, there are definitely not a few female mages in the City of Sages who admire the Black Sage. It's hard to say whether there are male mages... Anyway, some people probably don't dare to show it.
However, it is definitely both men and women who admire, admire and admire the Black Sage.
After Yin Lian appeared, the attitudes of the mages toward her were very polarized. Some people have a good impression of Yin Lian, and there are faint signs that she is the incarnation of Salmati, and they respect her very much. But there are also people who are full of hostility towards Yin Lian, because Yin Lian, who suddenly appeared next to the Black Sage and was accepted as his disciple, actually robbed many of the Black Sage's attention and the interests of others.
In any case, the Black Sage is the true ruler of the City of Sages, not just a powerful mage.
Some people may think: Why?
Just because she has the same black hair and eyes as the Black Sage? Or is it because of her apparently too dazzling beauty?
For those who like Yin Lian, her beauty is a modification and addition to her temperament and abilities. To others it is a sin.
For example, for Lia, she really hated Yin Lian's face.
The farmers who Yin Lian chose to plant were on a voluntary basis, but he also warned everyone that the number of seedlings was sparse. Those distributed at this time could only be planted by themselves, and were not allowed to be transferred or used for other purposes. She deliberately did not tell everyone that the sprouted potatoes were poisonous and should not be eaten, but only said, "These are seeds gifted by Lady Fertility, which will make believers rich and abundant, so everyone must follow her instructions, otherwise they will be harmed by Lady Fertility." punishment". She wanted to use this method to see who was obedient enough and who was not obedient enough.
And she also prepared some drugs to relieve the toxicity of solanine, from strong tea to induce vomiting to acetic acid to relieve toxicity and even a set of enema equipment, but Yin Lian never expected that what was sent to her at this time would be directly A dead man.
Yin Lian said: "Bring the body over and let me see the situation."
Leah said: "It was your potatoes that poisoned him!"
She said this, but she did not stop the people ordered by Yin Lian from coming to carry the farmer away. Instead, she stared at Yin Lian with strong malice in her eyes, waiting for her reaction.
By this time some farmers had begun to stir.
Yin Lian saw this scene and immediately said: "Quiet! Haven't you ever planted snake grass and spotted orchids!? Are you afraid of poisonous flowers and plants? Moreover, there is no one who secretly disobeys my instructions. The goddess will not punish him. Are you worried? What?"
Snake grass and spotted orchid are commonly used pharmaceutical materials by mages. They are toxic in themselves, but they can be used to refine several common medicines. Because the farmers in the City of Sages are all followers of the mage, they often come into contact with these two medicinal materials.
The restlessness suddenly became smaller.
But this development was not what Leah expected, so she couldn't help but ask: "You want to say that the death of my farmer is the punishment of your lady of fertility!? My farmer is not a believer of your goddess! "
Yin Lian ignored her, but bent down and began to carefully observe the corpse of the dead farmer.
His face was distorted, there was dry saliva at the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were wide open, looking very painful. Yin Lian found that his hand was placed by his side, his fingers were bent and his joints were protruding, as if he was trying to scratch something, but there was nothing in his hand.
Yin Lian took out a pair of gloves and put them on his hands, then gently raised the deceased's wrist, and keenly saw blood stains from his nails.
She raised her eyes and looked at the farmer's throat. She found that although the Adam's apple was very prominent, the surface of the rough skin was smooth and there were no traces of any wounds.
So Yin Lian stood up straight after checking, and answered Liya slowly, saying: "It may not be a punishment from the goddess, it may be for other reasons... For example, as a master... Liya Your punishment, miss!”
Then she suddenly shouted to the mage guard next to her: "Grab those two men!"
Leah was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you want to do!?"
She took the staff and wanted to attack Yin Lian, but was blocked by the protective shield of a mage guarding Yin Lian. The two mages beside Yin Lian were specially sent by the Black Sage to assist her. When they saw Leah attacking Yin Lian, they immediately counterattacked the female mages. But it was just a counterattack and no further action was taken.
One of the mages said: "Miss Lian is your student, Leah, you can't make mistakes."
Although they were sent to protect Yin Lian, these mages were not really on Yin Lian's side. Yin Lian currently does not have much prestige in the capital of sages. At most, he is just using the power of the black sage to pretend to be powerful.
Yin Lian had already expected this and was not disappointed.
She was trying to build up her prestige step by step.
Facing Leah's outburst, Yin Lian laughed and said, "Miss Leah, don't be angry... I just want to see the hands and arms of the two gentlemen."
Saying this, she asked the two men to catch the arrogant men and roll up their sleeves, exposing their palms and arms.
I saw several extremely fresh scratches on the backs of their hands and arms.
The existence of these scratches seemed to indicate something. Most of the onlookers were a little confused and didn't know what was going on. But some smarter people - such as the two mages around Yin Lian - have already made some assumptions.
Yin Lian suddenly said: "Ms. Fengrao protects this land——"
Her voice carried some melodious arias, as if she were reading poetry or reciting classics.
"She makes all things bloom in spring and makes the fruits abundant in autumn. She allows believers to obtain all the fruits and vegetables they need, but she also prevents believers from collecting fruits that are not in season. So some fruits and vegetables, when they are still green fruits , are poisonous, but become safe and sweet once ripe. Some fruits and vegetables are safe to eat when they are still fruits, but once they grow into germs, they become toxic."
"This is not to prevent you from getting food, but to prevent greedy people from picking fruits that do not belong to him at the wrong time. And if you persist in disobeying her, then the person who disobeys will be punished."
Leah said: "My farmer is not your believer! Why do you punish him!?"
Yin Lian changed her subject and said, "But this farmer was not punished by Lady Fertility - as Miss Lia said, neither he nor his master are believers of the goddess, so the goddess will not punish him. nor will he be given any favor, nor will he be saved—he is punished by his master.”
Leah's heart suddenly thumped.
But Yin Lian continued to say: "There is a poison in sprouted potatoes called solanine. It is very small and toxic. It can cause symptoms such as itchy throat, vomiting, diarrhea, etc., but it is basically not fatal. It is just an attempt by the goddess to prevent It’s a little curse that others are eager to eat when potatoes are just growing and not suitable for consumption. This poison will not really cause death unless consumed in large quantities, and even if consumed in large quantities, its onset time is as long as half to three hours, while causing visible pain to alert the poisoned person to call for help.”
"With this time, it is enough to come to the temple to seek my help, or to go to the city to seek help from a doctor or an alchemist. Why didn't he?" There was a look of compassion on Yin Lian's face. He said with a sigh, "Because his master doesn't allow it."
Leah realized something was wrong and immediately shouted: "Nonsense!"
She wanted to stop Yin Lian from continuing to talk nonsense, but was blocked by two mages. And because she tried to attack Yin Lian again, one of the mages simply used a petrification spell to freeze her in place while she was not prepared.
Yin Lian didn't care what was going on around him and just continued: "Everyone can take a look at the hands of this poor farmer. There are actually blood stains on his fingernails. That's when he was in pain and struggling desperately to break free. Something, something to capture, and thus a trace left behind.”
"If we eat something poisonous and feel itchy, painful, and difficult to breathe in the throat, what will we do?" Yin Lian stretched out his hand and made a very vivid gesture, pressing his throat and trying to reach into the throat with one hand. "I will do this, trying to spit out what I have eaten. Otherwise, I will grab my neck and scratch hard to try to relieve the itching feeling."
"But look..." She moved the deceased's head slightly to expose his neck to the light, "The Adam's apple on his neck was protruding and the veins were exposed, but there was no sign of being scratched. He was It must be very painful. But the poor man, he couldn't even relieve the pain. He was held tightly by his master, and he was suppressed like that, enduring the pain, and helplessly went from such a healthy, happy, to A young man with a promising future turned into a mindless corpse.”
Yin Lian said this, as if she felt the same thing, frowning, showing a sad expression, then clasped his hands in a prayer gesture, knelt down, and said: "May the goddess bless you and lead you back to the earth. embrace and gain a new life.”
Her sad tone and look touched many people. The surrounding farmers were infected by emotions and death, and many of them couldn't help but imitate her movements, clumsily and awkwardly clasping their hands, saying: "May the goddess bless you, lead you back to the embrace of the earth, and gain a new life. "
Yin Lian's words were well-founded and well-organized, and he immediately convinced most of the people around him. Two of Leah's men were caught and interrogated by others. Although they tried to be tough in the end, they could not explain the wounds on their hands, and finally had no choice but to admit it. After Leah's petrification was lifted, although the surrounding farmers did not dare to do anything to the distinguished mage, they all looked at her with vigilant and hostile eyes.
It’s not surprising for farmers to rely on mages and be executed for making mistakes, but this is definitely not the way to die. Facing the hostile eyes of everyone, Liya felt cowardly even as a mage. Finally, she glared at Yin Lian fiercely and ran away with her men.
However, Yin Lian did not distribute any more seeds, but temporarily summoned everyone and asked them to start burying the dead farmer together.
Someone asked: "Lord, did you just
