Chapter 127: Speech

When Tiana turned to leave, Antonio just smiled helplessly and didn't care. In his opinion, the girl's resoluteness was at best a momentary act of anger. Without the protection of the White Lion Family, how much storm can she make in Istalon alone?

From the point of view of a lord, the problem of the plague from the north is indeed a matter of life and death, but in contrast, the conspiracy of Count Sneike is even more imminent. Only by solving the trouble in front of him can he pull out his hand to deal with the plague. Antonio has always been patient and tolerant of the beautiful girl, and it is not worth mentioning that he occasionally has a temper tantrum.

This time, though, he underestimated both the damage caused by Count Sneike and the power of Tiana's actions.

In addition to the Young Lord's guest staff, Tiana has another secret identity in Isttalon that is not a secret - the heir of Doria the Blue Light. Doria's relics are not only magical items hidden in the tower, but also the tower itself, and the tower built in the public academy also has another meaning, as a status symbol for the professors of the academy.

She inherited Doria's Tower, and thus Doria's position in the Academy. Although she did not have any teaching experience, she was nominally recognized as a professor by the college. Silver-rank spellcasters are definitely rare creatures in Isttalon, and the academy is eager to find talent, and a bunch of old men are eager to kneel in front of her and hug her thighs and not let go.

Having inherited Doria's treasures and her responsibilities, Tiana was not lacking in such awareness. If there was no threat of the plague, she didn't mind staying and teaching. It's just that things are changing, and before she can fulfill her responsibilities, she has to use the power of this identity.

Young students are always passionate and easily encouraged by words. After leaving Antonio, Tiana went straight to the academy and used her power as a professor to gather a group of students and tell them about the threats she was about to face.

The families of the students who were able to enter the academy to learn knowledge must be rich or expensive, and they also represented the upper echelons of Isttalen, and it was too unrealistic to convince them to oppose Antonio, and Tiana was not interested in it. During her three-month wandering life in the northern counties, she learned many ways to deal with the nobles.

The combination of appropriate threats and the lure of a little interest is unstoppable.

"Countless rats littered the streets of Queensland overnight, corpses quickly decomposed, and the black shadow of the plague rose into the sky and engulfed the city. Commoners and nobles alike, even the sacrifices blessed by the gods were not immune. A hundred-year-old city has been reduced to death in just half a month......"

Tiana stood on the podium, her tone calm as if she were telling the story of an afternoon tea party, but the content of the story was full of eerie spirits, which made the students creepy and silent in the classroom.

"We're here...... Could that happen?" asked an older student, raising his hand and trembling.

"As much as I would love to tell you not to worry, the truth is that it has already come to you. Tiana looked around and noticed that some of the students' faces had begun to turn pale.

"I think some of you have gotten word at home, yes, there has been an outbreak of plague in Macaine, which is only a day's journey away, and refugees have arrived outside the city of Isttalen. And according to my observations in the past few days, the rat population in the sewers of the city of Isttalon has been deliberately catalyzed in the past period of time, and there has been an abnormal explosive growth. ”

When several timid girls heard this, they immediately rolled their eyes and fainted, and there was a coaxing in the class, and they started to shout.

The fear of the plague itself was suffocating enough, and the presence of the mastermind behind it magnified it to the extreme. When fear reaches its peak, anger is born.

Marivian saw this extreme change of human emotions for the first time at the Crow Outpost, and deeply appreciated its power. And Tiana, in the past time, has been surprised by this.

"Can't the army save us?" shouted the student, who was still a fluke.

"No matter how sharp the sword is, it can't resist the attack of disease. Tiana shook her head slightly: "I said that in the face of the plague and natural scourge, any identity is meaningless. A strong physique may allow the soldiers to hold out for a little longer, but their weapons and armor cannot defeat the invisible disease. ”

Isttalon started out as a soldier, and both nobles and commoners had the highest expectations and trust in their army. Every Istalene is confident that their warriors are capable of protecting this homeland. This belief has not changed even in the slightest moment when it is more severe than the invasion of the Earthwalkers. But now a foreign maiden stood on the stage and made a big fuss, claiming that their army was vulnerable, much to the great shame of all the Istalonians.

What is even more unfortunate is that as "students", they have enough knowledge and wisdom to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and the tragedy told by the girl is precisely the truth they are least willing to admit. The warriors of Isttalon are fearless against visible enemies, but helpless against invisible diseases. Without the support of the Temple of Life, the clergy of the city's three temples alone would not have been able to save the city.

"I once heard an old saying here: every Istalon is a warrior, and the warriors of Istalon are fearless. But now I see the fear in your hearts. Why be afraid?"

Tiana walked up to the pale little girl sitting in the front row and reached out to wipe tears from her face. She looked up and chuckled at the students' bewildered gazes.

"The swords of warriors cannot defeat the plague, but that does not mean that the plague is an invincible scourge. In the thousands of years of human history, there have been more than one plague on a larger scale, but in the end, the human race still survived tenaciously on the earth. ”

"You are students and the hope for the future of this city. You learn knowledge in the academy, knowledge is the weapon in your hands, and wisdom is the strength in your body. Should we just sit idly by when the warriors are unable to defend our homes with weapons, and shouldn't we do what we can?"

The classroom fell silent again, and the students stared at Tiana in amazement, deeply shocked by her astonishing remarks.

With a loud bang, a burly senior student kicked over the desk and stood up, asking loudly with red eyes, "Miss Tiana, please tell us how to do it!"

"The sages have recorded the history in the books, and I think you can find the answers you want in the library of the Academy. But when it comes to specific methods, I have a plan now, and I don't know if you will help if you will help. ”

Seeing that the students' emotions were gradually being directed in the direction they wanted, Tiana nodded in satisfaction and took a folded note from her pocket.

"This is the recipe for a rodenticide developed by an alchemist who lives in seclusion in the north, and the materials required are very ordinary, but if you calculate the amount of medicine in cities, it is a huge number. I need sufficient manpower, material resources, and the college's inventory. ”

"Killing all the rats that spread the plague was a stupid idea, but now it is the most feasible way. Each of you has wise minds and will surely be able to come up with more solutions to problems. Let me see the fearlessness of the Istalen, now it's your turn to protect our warriors and save the city!"

This sentence completely drove the students crazy, and as the news spread rapidly, the entire academy also boiled. That night, the public college was brightly lit and stayed up all night.

The next morning, Tiana personally pushed open the gates of the inner city, and when she looked up, she saw the wolf smoke burning on the city walls. The alarm has not yet sounded, the unknown enemy has crept in, and there is not much time left for her.

She looked back and saw fifty seniors quietly following her, bulging sacks filled with rodenticides that had been prepared overnight.

It is not an easy task to put rodenticide in the sewers of the whole city, not only to find the sewer veins as far as possible, but also to be careful not to affect people's normal life so as not to cause panic. If you are unlucky, you may still be interrogated and entangled by the security forces, and now there is an unknown enemy, and I don't know when to alert martial law......

"Let's go, let's go according to the plan!" Tiana said firmly as she raised her staff.
