The goddesses attempted to gain my salvation.

Ryan immediately realized what was going on when he heard the name.

He had indeed heard of that name.

"So Ziel is the one with the explosive voice."

"But why is Lord Ziel in the city of Mosgu?" Victor stroked his beard, deep in thought.

Ryan gestured to Victor to focus his attention on the papacy members who were still searching around the tavern.

"They should be members of the inspection team sent by the academy to supervise the mentors."

“I think Ziel’s presence here might be related to this.”

"Perhaps she is also a member of the patrol team?"

To ensure the safety of students' trips, and also to test and evaluate whether instructors have committed any dereliction of duty during the trips.

Under the direction of the Holy See, the academy will organize a group of powerful magicians to form patrol teams to inspect the travel destinations.

Given that Moss was one of Victor's travel destinations, it was not surprising that a patrol team was present.

Chapter 103 Face it with pride

As it turned out, Tracy had much more in reserve than Ryan had imagined.

This also led to Ryan eating too much late-night snack, which put a certain burden on his stomach and intestines.

When Ryan woke up in the morning, the faint milky aroma he had tasted the night before still lingered in his mouth.

However, unlike milk, this flavor is not sticky and is quite light.

He rinsed his mouth with water, got dressed, and left the tent.

Because Victor drank too much alcohol yesterday, although he didn't feel anything at the time, the hangover left him feeling dizzy and unable to muster any energy.

After all, it was Ryan who suggested drinking.

So today, in addition to taking Claire, Ryan also has to bring Victor's students along to explore the ancient ruins.

As expected,

Maggie and Claire were feeling very down.

Maggie, in particular, was almost completely devoid of her usual haughty demeanor. She no longer walked with her head held high, but instead kept her eyes lowered. She looked as if she were counting pebbles on the ground.

This is understandable, after all, being thoroughly humiliated by his arch-rival in front of all his classmates.

If it were Ryan, he would have already charged back.

Claire, on the other hand, had a rare look of resentment on her face.

She was depressed because her ancestors were insulted and she was powerless to retaliate.

Both girls looked uninterested; it seemed I needed to get them excited first.

Traveling, though intended to broaden one's horizons.

The real purpose of broadening horizons is to enable students to establish themselves in the world as quickly as possible after leaving the academy.

Preaching, teaching, and answering questions.

Since the students have questions, it is only natural for the mentor to provide answers.

The first person whose question needs answering is Claire.

Ryan led the students into Moss Fortress.

"Speaking of which, the place Victor showed you yesterday was the Moss Fortress, right?"

The students nodded.

Several students whispered among themselves, wondering why their mentor, Ryan, had brought them to this place they had already visited yesterday.

"Since you've visited Moss Fortress, you must have seen the mural of the Declaration of War and the story of Phoenix Mia."

"That declaration of war, even now, is still full of fighting spirit."

At this point, Ryan smiled and looked at Claire.

Claire's face flushed, but she quickly lowered her head again: "However, Princess Mia died in the subsequent surprise attack..."

"Indeed. Princess Mia unfortunately died in battle afterward. And the Pennsylvania Federation made a big deal out of this, thereby cracking down on the resistance forces within the Principality of Ferrante."

As Ryan spoke, he led the students to stand once again in front of the "Declaration of War" mural.

Many tourists stopped to admire the mural and shared their opinions.

Many of them, like Ghosn, believed that Mia's behavior was reckless, simply foolish and impulsive.

Mia is not worthy of her current reputation, nor is she a so-called hero of the duchy.

Claire felt a slight pang of pain in her heart upon hearing this.

Ryan had certainly heard these rumors, but he simply smiled and raised his voice.

The voice, enhanced by magic, possessed extremely strong penetrating power, transmitting the content with unparalleled precision to the ears of everyone present.

Loud and resounding.

"But have you considered this issue? At the time of the Four Nations War, the location of Moss Fortress was at the border between the Duchy of Ferrante and the Federation of Pennsylvania."

"And now the border is located west of Moss Fortress, at the location of Vita Town. In other words, the territory of the Duchy of Ferrante has expanded."

"This is why?"

After he finished speaking, all the students looked at each other, unsure how to respond.

Claire, in particular, stared wide-eyed.

"Mentor Ryan, why is that?"

Ryan said with a smile, "Look at this mural of the declaration of war. The direction Princess Mia is pointing in is exactly the direction where Vita Town is located today."

"In the month following the declaration of war, Princess Mia led the border garrison in repelling the invasion of the Pennsylvania Federation, and even directly stormed into Vita Town, using it as an outpost to launch a fierce attack on the Pennsylvania Federation."

"Even after Mia died in battle, her extraordinary courage and inspiring words continued to encourage the garrison and the troops in the rear. After that, no matter how fierce the attack, they did not retreat an inch."

"Until the middle of the Four Kingdoms War, when the Pennsylvania Federation and the Kingdom of Gmarui officially went to war, they were unable to fight on two fronts. In the end, the Pennsylvania Federation was unable to cross the border into Vita Town."

"And that border line was preserved until after the end of the Four Nations War, and it remains so to this day."

As soon as he finished speaking, the area around the mural fell silent.

Whether they were students, tourists, or even some people from the Pennsylvania Federation, everyone shut their mouths and listened quietly to Ryan's penetrating voice.

Ryan raised his voice again: "I think Mentor Victor should have told you. The declaration of war became the turning point for the Duchy of Ferrante, shifting from passive defense to a full-scale counter-offensive."

"Indeed, Mia's death in battle is a fact. But it was precisely because of her brave death that the fighting spirit of resistance within the country was completely ignited."

"Her spirit and fighting will brought hope to the people. And that hope, in turn, transformed into sparks, and under the raging winds of the people, ignited a battle that soared to the heavens in the Duchy of Ferrante. The northern front, which had been on the defensive, also unleashed unprecedented fighting power because of this powerful fighting will."

"Those people spontaneously organized militias, and with their simple weapons and farm tools, they routed the iron cavalry that the Auguston Empire was so proud of, and drove them out of the country completely."

"With infantry and militia, they broke through the battlefield dominated by elite cavalry. Throughout the history of the Four Kingdoms War, no other force has achieved such a feat."

After speaking, Ryan gently stroked the mural, which had withstood a hundred years of wind and rain and was still bright, and looked at the heroic Princess Mia.

It was as if one could hear the battle cries that spanned five hundred years of history, and the roars of anger beneath the battle flags.

Five hundred years of peace have gradually made people forget that bloody history. People live and work in peace and contentment, singing and dancing, and some have even begun to slander the hero of the principality.

"But they never thought, or perhaps they don't want to remember, that the peace they enjoy today is precisely because that generation shed blood and tears."

Ryan pulled Claire to his side, took her hand, and placed it on the mural.

"Mia is the pride of the Phoenix family and a hero of the entire duchy."

"Regardless of how future generations evaluate her, this point is beyond doubt."

Ryan leaned close to Claire's ear and whispered in a voice only she could hear.

"So, Claire."

"As a princess of the Phoenix family, you can proudly face this mural."

"Although three of your magic circuits are still not repaired, one day they will all be repaired. At that time, your flames will illuminate the sky of the Duchy of Ferrante."

"You, too, will wave the battle flag, just like Mia, and guide the people toward happiness."

Chapter 104 You are now immersed in power

Claire's gloom vanished; Ryan's words contained an encouragement more powerful than any magic.

Even tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Mentor Ryan...can I really... do it?"

“Of course.” Ryan gently stroked Claire’s head. “And I guarantee you’ll shine even brighter than Mia.”

------

Ryan's encouragement had a remarkable effect, and from then on, Claire's doubts vanished.

The only one left is Maggie.

After the fortress tour, Ryan let the students have free time, while he took Maggie and Claire to the most bustling street in Moss Ancient City.

Shops and vendors lined both sides of the street, with pedestrians constantly moving through. The vendors, sweating profusely under the blazing sun, were still energetically hawking their wares.

"I also learned some stories about the Rema family and the Lancy family."

Maggie turned her head away with a complicated expression, looking at the pedestrians on the street in silence.

"You want to revitalize the family and reclaim the assets that once belonged to the family. But unfortunately, the power of the Lanxi family is too great. Even if the entire power of the Rema family is used, it is impossible to defeat them."

Maggie clenched her fists, her shoulders trembling slightly.

"I know."
