At least in the short term, the plague would be hard-pressed to re-emerge.
All in all, it was indeed a good method.
Guilliman nodded, praised Keira, and at the same time, he guessed Keira's purpose in seeking him out.
"This method is not bad, Keira."
"However, what good does telling me this do? You should directly inform Princess Adda and get her permission."
"Let Temeria's officials cooperate with your actions, instead of finding me, a witcher with no power or influence."
Hearing the witcher's somewhat feigned ignorance,
the sorceress Keira revealed a charming smile, winked at the witcher, chuckled, and said:
"You're feigning ignorance, Guilliman."
"I believe a man as clever as you surely wouldn't fail to guess my purpose in seeking you."
"If I could so easily persuade Princess Adda, I certainly wouldn't have gone out of my way to find you."
"Now, throughout Vizima, and even the entire Kingdom of Temeria, who doesn't know that the Princess's most favored man is you?"
"Only the powerful Godslayer, Lord Guilliman, can persuade the Princess to undertake such a groundbreaking action."
"Don't worry, as long as this matter is accomplished, I am willing to share both the credit and the rewards with you equally."
"Even if you have any special requests, I can satisfy you."
When speaking of special requests, Keira reached out and cupped her small breasts, deliberately displaying her petite yet curvaceous figure unreservedly before the witcher.
The meaning was obvious.
As long as this matter was accomplished, there would certainly be plenty of intimate moments—a pure honey trap.
When it came to political matters, Keira was both inept and eager to play; she desired wealth and glory but feared responsibility and couldn't endure hardship.
Although she had been a royal advisor for many years, among the three royal advisors, Keira's prestige had always been the lowest. Many times, even Foltest didn't take Keira's advice seriously.
With her reputation, it was indeed difficult for her to persuade Princess Adda to make such an unconventional decision.
One could only say she was still too young, truly the youngest member of the Lodge of Sorceresses.
No wonder her fate was the most tragic in many endings, becoming a human barbecue just like Sabrina.
The battle-hardened Guilliman chuckled. It was a mutually pleasurable affair, yet she was offering it as a reward. This was looking down on him, the witcher.
However, he could remain unmoved by Keira's seduction, but if it involved large-scale rat extermination, it seemed to be a profitable endeavor for him.
Back in the plague village, although ten mutated rats yielded a little soul power, a thousand of them together still amounted to a hundred points.
If it were ordinary rats, the soul power would certainly not be as strong as that of mutated rats.
However, according to scholars' statistics, in human living areas, the ratio of rats to humans is roughly between 1:1 and 10:1.
This means that in a large city like Vizima, with tens of thousands of inhabitants, the number of rats is generally between tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands.
Although food was scarce in the Middle Ages, the proportion of rats might be smaller.
But even if a hundred ordinary rats could generate one point of soul power, tens or hundreds of thousands of rats would be a considerable astronomical number.
Enough to give him the motivation to push this matter forward.
Moreover, the entire Kingdom of Temeria does not only have Vizima as a large city. Adding up all the cities, large and small, towns, and then those villages, the number of rats hidden in these places would truly be unimaginable.
This kind of large-scale rat extermination operation could almost be considered a large-scale soul power farming operation.
Of course, everything has its pros and cons, and one must consider things carefully before acting.
Guilliman looked at Keira, who was flirting and clearly trying to use a honey trap on him. He cleared his throat and said lightly:
"While your proposal has feasibility,"
"this matter is ultimately complex and must be thoroughly considered."
"Tomorrow, I will invite a medical professional to discuss this matter with us."
"Once we have a concrete plan of action, we will then report it to Princess Adda."
Saying this, the witcher looked at Keira, whose expression was somewhat disappointed, and added:
"And you must continue to work hard on this, Miss Keira, and proceed with caution."
