As soon as Yang Chen returned to Cecil Mansion, he saw Xili who had just gotten out of the carriage.

I couldn't help but be happy in my heart, but my face was impassive, and I asked softly, "You're back?"

"Hmm......" Ciri was a little tired and had trouble with the nobles every day, but he had to do it himself.

Yang Chen was a little curious when he saw Xili like this.

"You're ......"

"......" Ciri didn't speak, didn't pay attention to Yang Chen, and walked straight into the courtyard.

Yang Chen looked confused, touched his head awkwardly, and followed Xili into the courtyard.

...... In the following days, Yang Chen lived a very fulfilling life, getting up early every day to practice the sword for a while, and then fighting with Jinyun's remnant......

After that, I soaked in the laboratory to do experiments, practice potions, and then meditate hard in the afternoon......

The whole day was full of arrangements, and I didn't feel tired much, but I just felt delicious......

It's just that these days, Yang Chen found that Xili went out early and returned late every day, and he didn't know what he was busy with.

Not only that, but when I see Ciri occasionally, she also looks listless and physically and mentally exhausted.

Yang Chen had some guesses, living in the Cecil family mansion, but he had never seen Brooke Cecil, the patriarch of the Cecil family, which was very wrong in itself, plus Chris didn't say goodbye before, which made Yang Chen feel that something must have happened to Noonan, and he needed to mobilize the powerhouses of the Sky Realm to solve it......

Otherwise, I can't explain that I haven't seen Ciri's father for so many days.

In this way, Ciri goes out early and returns late every day, and there is a reason for him to be physically and mentally haggard, as the lord Brooke Cecil is not there, and many authoritative sky powerhouses have also disappeared together, Ciri, as the only heir of the Cecil family, has to take on the responsibility of taking care of the territory!

You must know that the entire area of Nonan is extremely vast and there are many people, hundreds of millions of people!

With such a huge area and such a large population, it is already comparable to some of the most populous countries on the planet!

Although there are nobles in various places to help govern, there is still a need for a power center to handle all things in the whole of Nonan.

Hundreds of millions of people don't care about eating, drinking, and Lazar!

Thinking of this, Yang Chen's eyes were full of sympathy when he looked at Xili!

It's so pitiful, ...... at a young age Alas......

But it has nothing to do with me!

Practicing well is the right way!

After Yang Chen thought clearly about the cause and effect, and satisfied his curiosity, he concentrated on cultivation...... Swordsmanship and exercises in the morning, alchemy magic in the afternoon, the small day is very fulfilling.

On this day, Yang Chen went to visit Dean Boli as scheduled, but Dean Boli suddenly had some urgent matters to deal with, and he couldn't care about Yang Chen, so he asked Yang Chen to come to him in a few days.

This made Yang Chen secretly say that it was a pity, this time he originally wanted to ask Dean Boli some questions about magic and meditation......

Yang Chen returned to Cecil Mansion with a little regret, and as soon as he stepped into the front yard, he was caught by Xili who was in a hurry to go out.

"Eh, I'm looking for you everywhere, where have you been?" Xili was a little anxious, and complained a little when he saw Yang Chen.

"I just went to the Academy of Magic...... What's wrong?Something to do with me?" Yang Chen casually explained and asked.

"What are you doing here...... Forget it, hurry up and go out with me, there is something urgent, let's talk while walking. With that, he pulled Yang Chen to the carriage.

Yang Chen wanted to refuse at first, but this tiger girl was a high-level warrior and completely broke free.

So I had to be dragged by Ciri while asking what happened?

Ciri ignored him, directly dragged Yang Chen into the car, and hurriedly told the coachman that he was going to the government affairs hall......

"Hey...... What are you doing in the government affairs hall?What happened when you fell to the ground?" Yang Chen sat down, and quickly shook off Ciri's hand and asked.

"There's a locust plague on the Midwestern Plains of Noman, and it's a terrible situation...... Ciri said, frowning.

"What does this have to do with me?" Yang Chen rubbed his wrist while complaining that this girl has such a big hand!

“...... Aren't you an alchemist, I think you'll be useful......" Ciri said with a look of course.

Yang Chen forgot to rub his wrist when he heard this, "But the problem...... I...... I ......"

Yang Chen didn't know what to say at all......

The status of an alchemist is equivalent to that of a scientist on the earth, an expert scholar, and isn't it normal to ask a scientist or something in advance?

"And what do you want me to do?"

Yang Chen held back for a long time, and finally held back such a sentence.

"I want you to find a way to poison the locusts, and not let them scourge this year's grain ......" Ciri's eyes widened and asked watery, "You are an alchemy master, you must have a way, right?"

"I ...... I'll try my best to ......" Yang Chen smiled bitterly when he saw Xiri's appearance.

Hearing Yang Chen say this, Ciri couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and after a while, he fell asleep on the back of the chair...... She has been busy these days, and she is really tired.

Yang Chen looked at Ciri's sleeping appearance, and he didn't know what to think......

......

Soon, the carriage arrived at the government affairs hall, and Yang Chen quickly woke up Xili.

Fortunately, although Ciri is tired, he is a warrior who has been on the battlefield, and he is easily woken up by just a light sleep.

Ciri straightened his clothes and jumped out of the carriage, leaving the coachman who was about to move the steps a little overwhelmed.

"It's okay, you move, I still have to get out of the car." Yang Chen threw a gentle smile to the coachman......

The driver was stunned, but he still put the wooden steps under the car and helped Yang Chen get out of the car.

Xili took two steps, saw that Yang Chen did not come down, and turned his head to see the scene of Yang Chen being helped off the carriage by the coachman.

Don't be angry, "Yang Chen, hurry up, the meeting is coming soon!"

Yang Chen heard that Ciri was urging, and while responding, "Come on, come on!" and thanked the coachman.

The coachman, who was about to clean up the steps, heard this thank-you and felt flattered for a while...... stared blankly at Yang Chen's departing back, and for a while, he actually burst into tears......

......

"Miss Ciri, you're here......"

Yang Chen had just followed Xili into the government affairs hall when he saw an official nodding and bowing to Xili.

Cinese solemnly interrupted the etiquette of the unknown official, and asked as he walked, "Have you done what I told you before?"

"Don't worry, it's all done, the president of the Alchemy Guild, Master Wayne, and Master Crabbar of the Blue Moon Trading House are here!"

Ciri nodded, and said in a flat tone, "Good job!"

"It's all Miss Ciri's guidance, hehe...... The guidance is well......" the official laughed.

"Alright, alright...... Don't come with me...... By the way, where is Serrot? I have something to ask him before the meeting begins. ”

"Miss, the Archon of Serrot should be in his office at this time, and Lord Serrot has just finished communicating with Ciro City. ”

"Okay...... I know...... You greet the masters for me first, and we will have a meeting on time after twenty magic points!"

Yang Chen originally wanted to dodge, but found that he couldn't see Ciri's movements clearly and was grabbed by the wrist again!

For a while, Yang Chen, who was in pain again, was in an uproar.

This girl, every step is heavy......

Ten minutes later, Ciri walked out of the consul's office with a solemn face, and after questioning Noonan's chief consul Serrot, Ciri realized the gravity of the situation......

This locust plague came very suddenly, and in just a few days, it swept through the entire Midwestern Plains!

So far, crops have been severely damaged!

It is only summer, and there are still some days before the harvest, but because the locust plague is so sudden, most farmers are not prepared, and most of them plan to cut the crops directly, hoping to maximize the preservation of grain.

But the most important thing is not actually the farmers, although they are facing a locust plague, because there is still most of last year's grain left, they can hold on for a few more days, enough to wait for other places to transport grain to the disaster.

Compared with the peasants, the urban dwellers will obviously be hit harder, because the sudden locust plague has caused the price of grain in countless grain stores to rise sharply! Although it is still within the controllable range at present, with the increasingly serious locust plague and the continuous rise in grain prices, it is bound to trigger riots......

Obviously, the time is now to urgently mobilize food from other places and send it to the disaster areas as soon as possible to stabilize people's minds......

However, the problem lies in this, the central and western regions have always been grain-producing lands, coupled with the flat terrain and climate problems, so the population of the central and western regions alone has reached more than half of the entire Noonan.

With such a large population, coupled with the erosion of the locust plague, even if the surplus food for the whole of Noonan is mobilized, it is still a big gap!

In addition, there is an even more important Blackstone Fortress!

Among them, the supply was originally provided by the city of Silo, which was relatively close, but now under the locust plague, it is very affected!

Once there is a problem with the supply of the Blackstone Fortress, the orcs will definitely not sit idly by, but will quickly seize the opportunity to start a war!

If you're not careful, the Blackstone Fortress will topple!

If the Blackstone Fortress is broken, how many of the hundreds of millions of people living on the Midwestern Plains will survive natural and man-made disasters?

In this way, we must find a way to solve the locust plague, solve the locust plague, and preserve the crops to the greatest extent, so that it is possible to survive.

Thinking of this, Ciri felt that her heart was extremely heavy, she was only in her early twenties now, and she had to bear the life and death of hundreds of millions of people!

That's too much of a burden......

Yang Chen didn't care very much, in his opinion, although the locust plague was very dangerous, he still believed in the magical civilization of this world more.

Since Ciridu had gathered a large number of alchemists and magicians for a meeting, it was possible that someone would come up with the perfect solution......

The locust plague was very affected by ancient China, but don't forget that this is a magical world, and the magicians and alchemists have never seen any strong winds and waves......
