Chapter 719: Gathered By Curiosity
[His Majesty is taking care of it again? He’s so much more diligent than people know.]
Ivan had begun seeing Ferdinand much better after seeing him do things in person instead of merely sending Raymond or the other ministers.
"Everyone’s doing their best. However, researchers are needed since it’s a new disease. The local farmers do not know how to manage the disease since it is new to them. Magicians are already sent in various parts of the empire inquiring if they had experienced it before but none had returned with a useful answer yet. Thus, researchers from the Department of Agriculture are preparing to head there," Arabella explained.
[An entirely new disease? Was there a major change in their environment that could have resulted in its development? It might take some time to find a way to manage it. His Majesty was right in preventing it from spreading further while control and management is unsure.]
’A major change in Sibruh? Changes for the usual winter would not be a major change. What could have caused it then? I hope they find it in their investigations.’
"Your task is to head to Sibruh and the nearby territories with the researchers from the Department of Agriculture. I’m sure you would be a great asset to them. Do everything you can to help find the cause of the pest and disease outbreak and in making something to control and manage it. If you help find a treatment for it, even better."
"Am I allowed to join such an important research?!" Ivan gulped.
[Only elite researchers of the Empire would be sent in something like this. I had never been part of a research team here in Riva. What if they reject my participation?]
Ivan had his worries. But this was exactly why Arabella informed Ferdinand and Alwin about this first.
