Chapter 1054: Wait for the enemy
to fly all the way to the sea.
Because of the exploration in the previous historical cycle as a basis, Ronald accurately grasped the distance between his position and [Larchmont], and would not directly reach the boundary of the space cycle.
After flying like this for a while, I made sure that the magic city behind me could not provide timely support and that it was safe enough for me.
Ronald's figure hovered in the air, and his eyes began to look at everything around him.
Because of the performance with El.
Next, it is basically impossible to easily win over Xiu Yi by means of deception.
Then the choice becomes relatively simple.
——That is, to end this exploration through force.
Making a decision in his mind, Ronald felt that it would be more appropriate to do some terrain reconnaissance before the battle, even if he was surrounded by the endless sea.
After only a few minutes passed, the [Astral Chart] brought some disappointing results.
Because the island where [Larchmont] is located is already quite far away, the distance between the sea level and the bottom of the sea here is very long, and there is no possibility of using terrain or other factors to assist in combat.
Look at the calm sea around us...
except that the time is about to reach night, and Ronald's [lunar eclipse] will start to strengthen his physical fitness again.
In terms of environmental and other aspects of support alone, I'm afraid I won't get anything decent.
"..."
"Is it a fair fight to rely on one's own strength... That's fine."
Ronald didn't feel too sorry for this situation. He soon smiled with relief, and then stood on the sea Waiting for the other party's arrival.
After all, no matter what, Ronald's real strength is here.
No matter in the past or now, it can be regarded as the level of the strongest class of original code holders.
So even in El's telling, the Archmage Xiu Yi is very powerful and needs to be vigilant. But Ronald believed that if he put in a lot of effort, he was still quite sure that he could successfully defeat the opponent.
...
So, time was spent waiting.
During this period, Ronald could feel several very obvious fluctuations of magic power erupting in the city of [Larchmont] behind him.
The mages in the city obviously did not choose to sit still and wait for death.
While maintaining communication with Archmage Xiu Yi, they not only continued to use various protective spells, but also a few people who were bold enough entered the Three Beam Tower to try and get it easily. The next one occupies the Ir.
As for the result...
Ronald looked at it from the perspective of his soul communication with El.
This guy had a pretty good life and looked completely unharmed.
Even because of the influence of the sixteen evil fire seals at the bottom of the Three Beam Tower, this guy successfully occupied the entire tower without going on a killing spree.
After waiting for a while, night comes.
When the normal starry sky occupied the night sky above his head, Ronald, who was waiting boredly on the sea for the arrival of the enemy, finally discovered a clue.
That's on the sea leading to the east.
Even though he was in the dark night, Ronald's excellent eyesight was even better than the spell of emotional perception. He was the first to see a black dot speeding through the air, and the target was [Larchmont] behind him!
"..."
"Human perception is invalid..."
Regarding this situation, Ronald initially thought it was the ability of Archmage Xiu Yi. As a skilled original holder, Ronald was not surprised that the other party was able to avoid this kind of exploration.
But when this figure gradually approached Ronald at night, until he could see the other person's appearance clearly.
The situation is completely different.
There was no problem with the spell detection, and there was nothing wrong with Ronald's vision.
However, the reason why such a situation occurs in the investigation is not because Archmage Xiu Yi has an excellent ability to cover up his whereabouts.
And because - the guy who came from the sea is not a human at all.
But what surprised Ronald even more was the identity of the owner of this figure. Ronald already knew him, and could even say he was very familiar with it!
"This...Costat?"
In this surprised mood, Ronald revealed the other party's identity.
Isn't this my maid?
As the distance between the two narrowed, he could see very clearly that Costart, wearing a maid costume, was flying towards him across the sea.
But when I took a closer look, I felt like something was not quite right.
Soon, Ronald understood what this strangeness was.
Because the Costat who appeared on the sea at this moment was different from the Costat that Ronald knew. The expression on this maid's face was extremely cold, with no trace of humanity at all.
Especially after noticing Ronald, Costart did not have any emotional fluctuations at all.
The maid looked at Ronald's figure as if she were a complete stranger.
Then the control spell flew straight over.
"..."
Faced with this situation, how could Ronald not react?
The Costat who appeared at this moment was not the maid who had been with him for more than half a year and had a very close relationship with him.
On the contrary, in this historical fragment, the maid who was truly active in the Dark Ages was just created by the ancestors of the Adler family. She was also an alternative version of the artificial god, the top technological product of the mysterious side - Costart.
For a moment, Ronald was speechless.
It can only be said that such a situation is reasonable and unexpected.
After all, in the timeline ten years ago, Ronald had already heard from Majer the information that the ancestors of the Adler family were creating this maid.
And after all this time, the war has entered a fierce stage. It is completely reasonable for Costart to be successfully produced and join this battle.
Then consider the friendly relationship between Majer, who was born in Larchmont, and the ancestors of the Adler family.
Costat will be here to assist with security.
It can only be said to be an extremely normal thing.
"..."
That's what he said.
But for a moment, the expression on Ronald's face was still a little confused.
Rationally speaking, he knew that the Costat in front of him was definitely not his companion who got along day and night, and there would inevitably be a fight between the two; but his emotions told him that this Costat and his maid They are just different individuals with different states of existence. The two are essentially the same person in different timelines.
So... do you really want to fight Kostat?
At the same time, just as Ronald was hesitating, Costart also flew close from the sea.
Then the maid looked at Ronald in front of her with extremely cold and emotionless eyes, and then asked directly:
"Human, I have seen you."
"It was you and Xiu Yi who were in the crystal ball just now. Contact [Larchmont] about the situation. But according to your reaction when you were unconscious at the end, there is no way you will appear here!" "
..."
Faced with Costate's question.
Ronald floated in the air and opened his mouth, but couldn't hold back a word for a long time.
