I'm a Pastor, what the hell is an Acute Gastroenteritis Outbreak Spell?!

Chapter 306: Chapter 240: The Proactive Sadie? The Mosquito Fly Tribe’s Plague!
Beck Roland’s tone remained extremely respectful as he gave Zheng Cheng a standard mage’s salute.

Zheng Cheng scrutinized Beck Roland from top to bottom. His mage robes hadn’t changed much in appearance, but his aura had become more stable and restrained.

His eyes had grown even more mature and confident.

The staff that had once been in his hand had vanished. Instead…was a book!

“Beck, how do you feel?”

“Magic, is power…”

He respectfully said, “My Lord, I have successfully advanced to the six-star hero class… Magic Scholar!”

Zheng Cheng asked in surprise, “Magic Scholar? What abilities do you have?”

Beck explained with a smile, “According to what some people on your planet say… the world of magic is vast and boundless, and I will explore it from top to bottom!”

“In the face of magic, I’m just a small figure constantly seeking knowledge.”

“Magic Scholar? I will explore it from top to bottom?”

With a thought, Beck’s attributes appeared before his eyes.

“Hiss…”

Looking at Beck’s specific attributes, Zheng Cheng inhaled sharply.

He had guessed that Beck would have a sudden burst of power, but he didn’t expect it to be this substantial.

The first four so-called skills were actually knowledge that Beck had already mastered.

Advanced fire magic, advanced earth magic, alchemy, and potion making.

The subsequent two skills were gifts he received after becoming a hero.

Summon Hellfire.

A pure summoning and attack magic skill, extremely powerful.

And the sixth skill… Divine Speech!

This ability is the most essential demonstration of a Magic Scholar’s abilities.

It allows the scholar to gain answers and knowledge of their current studies.

Isn’t this basically open-book testing?

Imagine, if Beck were to be researching a forbidden spell and had no answers, suddenly a so-called divine speech would give him the answer.

This…

Zheng Cheng began to view Beck differently.

“My Lord.”

Beck said respectfully: “No matter what, you are my master. I…will never betray you!”

“I trust you…”

“My Lord,” Beck continued, “this time we killed a Carnila Jaw Bee Hero, as well as several other Alien Beast Bosses. Could you give me their bodies?”

“What do you need their bodies for?”

“These Alien Beasts’ bodies contain powerful life forces. I want to try to refine them into alchemical tools.”

Beck explained: “If it were before, I would have needed a large number of mages to study and even need to refine it in a dedicated magic tower.”

“But now that I have become a hero, I have this strange feeling… I can refine alchemical tools by myself!”

Zheng Cheng nodded: “It’s all yours!”

Over these past two weeks, apart from the just-slain Carnila Jaw Bee, Zheng Cheng had deliberately left behind the bodies of several Alien Beast Bosses.

Or rather, parts of their bodies.

Like the front limbs of the Shura Mantis, the horn of the Flying Thunder Dragon Boss, the sharp teeth of the Sandworm Boss, etc.

He had planned to take these things out of the secret realm, but unexpectedly won Beck’s allegiance.

And moreover, Beck had become a hero!

If he had the chance to enter Jasha Island again, wouldn’t that mean he would have a constantly improving logistical base?

“Thank you, my Lord!”

Beck said respectfully and exited excitedly.

Meanwhile, Zheng Cheng was looking in the distance, “Just wait a little longer, that Home Crystal on top of Black Tower Mountain…”

In the middle of the night, while Zheng Cheng was resting, he suddenly sensed a figure approaching.

Her breathing was somewhat disordered, but very steady.

A rustling sound echoed.

“Shadi’er.”

In the darkness, Zheng Cheng opened his eyes.

“You didn’t have to do this. I told you, that home crystal is a must-have for me. And I also promised you, I won’t let alien beasts enter the desolate world.”

“My Lord… these actions are my own free will, unrelated to anything else…”

In the darkness, Shadi’er’s soft voice suddenly emerged.

“I like you, do you still remember what I said when we met? Conquer me…”

“Do you have any regrets?”

“I, Shadi’er, have absolutely no regrets!”

Three days later!

Zheng Cheng’s homeland had once again undergone significant changes.

In the main city, more than a dozen military buildings and residential buildings were constructed around the home crystal.

On the left side of the home crystal, the pillar of life towered high, emitting a faint glow.

On the right, a reconnaissance garrison construction base was situated.

Griffin Knights took off and landed continuously, each carrying a reconnaissance garrison to be placed in the distant dark fog.

Tall city walls surrounded the entire main city, with hundreds of arrow towers lined up.

Outside the city, there were still densely packed arrow towers and bunkers, guarding the entire homeland.

The entrance to the valley on the east, however, concentrated the remaining arrow towers and bunkers, guarding the eastern gate of the homeland.

Moving forward, in the dense dark fog, 120 reconnaissance guards were hidden behind huge rocks, on large trees, and in the river, closely monitoring their surroundings.

As for the military force, it was maximized, nearly every citizen was armed!

The strongest was undoubtedly Beck Roland, Shadi’er, Zhang San, three heroes.

Next were 49 court mage units.

Still led by Beck Roland, acting as the head of the court mage group.

200 sword shield guards units.

200 heavy armored cavalry units.

These two types of troops formed Zheng Cheng’s guard group, led by Shadi’er.

400 ground dragon knight units.

Among which, sand dragon knights were the fewest, only 50 units.

Silver-backed iron armored dragons were the most numerous, 200 units.

The rest were all velociraptor knights, 150 units.

These 400 ground dragon knights formed the ground dragon knight group, led by Zhang San, with Ma Lie as the deputy leader.

Next were the griffin knights.

1500 griffin knights units, the most numerous of all Zheng Cheng’s troops, and also the strongest main battle force!

The entire Griffin Knights was divided into two groups. The first group leader was Yang Hou’er.

The second group leader was Li Youji.

Each of them led 750 griffin knights, guarding the homeland.

The remaining over 600 units were laborers, logistics soldiers and other living units.

These people were responsible for logistics, transportation, cleaning up the battlefield and other tasks. Although their number was small, their position and task were also crucial.

Outside the hall, Beck hurried in.

“Bang bang bang…”

“My lord… My lord!”

Inside the room, Zheng Cheng sat solemnly, with Shadi’er beside him looking a bit flushed.

“Come in…”

Beck looked rushed, and didn’t dare look toward Shadi’er, and said to Zheng Cheng: “My lord! Our reconnaissance guards discovered new alien beasts on the northeast side!”

“Oh?” Zheng Cheng remained seated, took a deep breath and asked, “What kind of alien beast?”

“Giant flies!”

Beck said: “It’s a kind of giant fly that’s nearly half the height of a person. There are a lot of them, they pretty much occupy a large forest on the northeastern side!”

“Giant flies?” Zheng Cheng frowned and asked, “What exactly is going on?”

“Following your orders, my lord, we have been preparing for the Black Tower Mountain expedition in recent days, with most of our reconnaissance guards concentrated in the northeast side.”

“But who knew that today, the duty mage suddenly found a large number of giant fly alien beasts on the reconnaissance crystal. As soon as I learned about it, I immediately came to report to you…”

“Giant flies?”

Zheng Cheng asked, “This alien beast, do you know of it?”

“This…”

After hesitating for a moment, Beck said: “I guess, it’s possible that it could be the Mosquito Fly Tribe, one of the three major flying royal families in the alien insect race!”

“Mosquito Fly Tribe? What’s so special about them?”

“Plague!”

Beck said concisely: “The Mosquito Fly Tribe is most adept at spreading plagues. They use other creatures’ bodies as hosts to lay their fly eggs, thus quickly reproducing to form a large-scale giant fly beast tide!”

“And these mosquito flies carry a large number of viruses and bacteria which can cause a wide range of plague spread.”

“In our world, several kingdoms and tens of millions of people died from the plagues spread by the Mosquito Fly Tribe!”

“It is because of their ability to spread plague, hence they are ranked among the three major flying royal families of the alien insect race!”

Zheng Cheng said lightly: “According to what you said, there were no members of the Mosquito Fly Tribe on Jasha Island before, and now they suddenly appear, there might be a hero unit of the Mosquito Fly Tribe behind this!”

“Or to say… their appear here might be for the giant homeland crystal on the Black Tower Mountain!”

Beck quickly agreed: “That makes sense, my lord, what should we do, should we…”

Zheng Cheng stood up abruptly, his demeanor having returned to the calm before, he said indifferently: “Send a command! The expeditionary army set off!”

“This time, it’s our turn to attack actively!”

“What?!”
