Chapter 1411 I think you need to
"cough cough cough——"
After Kostat let go, the old man coughed violently first.
He made a look of pain before getting ready to speak.
But just before the old man spoke his first words, Ronald said:
"The skill of using a cough to cover up a spell is quite good."
"But with all due respect, forget it. If I really want to take your life , you will never have any chance to resist."
"..."
The old man opened his eyes wide, somewhat in disbelief.
He believed that his spell-casting skills had been concealed to perfection, and this was something that had been verified many times in the past.
But in the eyes of the young man in front of him, he was seen through at a glance.
This not only requires terrible observation skills, but also requires the ultimate magic induction to achieve the effect.
First there was the spell to reverse time, and then there was this terrifying power of observation.
I was just on a whim, and ended up encountering such an outrageous thing?
The old man subconsciously glanced at Costat next to him.
In fact, not only this young man, but also the girl who subdued him instantly was also an unreasonably strong guy.
It was so rare that he had never seen the combination in his life.
Did you happen to bump into it today? Could this be a coincidence?
The old man was full of doubts, but at this moment, it was Ronald who spoke first:
"You don't have to doubt these things. The reason why I chose to come here is because I noticed your existence."
After being told the scruples in his heart, The old man's expression became very ugly:
"Reading minds?"
Ronald shook his head:
"It's just a judgment based on your emotions. I have no interest in prying into other people's thoughts." "
Now the conversation comes to the point - I I want to ask you a few questions."
"As long as you answer honestly, you will be able to leave soon. I guarantee your safety."
Ronald expressed his attitude, but the old man still did not speak.
Normally Ronald might explain a few more words, but after seeing such a scene today, he really had no extra mood, so he directly started asking questions:
"First of all, your name."
Hearing this question, the old man looked stunned. Even a little inexplicable.
The person who tricked me here doesn't even know his name. What kind of joke is this?
Just when he was about to scold the other party, the old man saw Ronald's eyes.
He looked serious and serious, without any unnecessary emotion.
He immediately replied:
"Anthony, Anthony Borg."
Ronald continued to ask:
"Are you a magician of the [Nine Rings Secret Society]?"
Anthony shook his head and rejected:
"I do not belong to them, and I am currently free. Spell caster."
Ronald did not question this answer, but he said a result with certainty:
"In this city, you are the strongest spell caster on the mysterious side." "
The strongest is not necessarily them. People!" After a few questions, Anthony clearly noticed Ronald's attitude towards the [Nine Rings Secret Society], and quickly began to explain, "Their strongest people are concentrated in the capital, and their activities revolve around the "Book of Interpretations." You are also a mysterious person, is this not difficult to understand?"
Ronald raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.
The next time he opened his mouth, another question came up:
"Since entering here, I have found that the magicians in the city have a very bad attitude towards ordinary people. Is this common here?"
After hearing this question, Anthony's expression became uncomfortable. How comfortable.
He struggled for a while, and finally said helplessly:
"Although I don't want to admit it - but young man, you're right, that's the situation here. What's more serious is that people seem to enjoy such rules, which is already difficult. Changed."
Ronald asked:
"No one stood up to resist?"
Anthony shook his head regretfully:
"It is impossible for people to go against the mainstream, especially those of us who have always hidden our identities in the past. When the existence of the mysterious side is made public This is an inevitable trend of change in the future."
During the question and answer, the old man was completely on the weak side.
But perhaps due to the influence of his usual speaking habits, after he finished his answer, he actually began to comfort Ronald:
"Young man, I know what you are worried about." "
But with all due respect, this is the general trend of social change, and it is difficult to Avoid. Although the [Nine Rings Secret Society] is very intense here, it is only faster." "
One day, other places will look like this."
Ronald's eyes became subtle.
After questioning until this point, he was actually ready to let the old man leave. After all, he had no reason to attack someone outside of the incident.
But Anthony's subsequent views made him stop his original thoughts and asked again:
"Do you think this is correct?"
Anthony still shook his head:
"Of course not!"
"But in reality, people are on the path to success. The road is often not the right one."
"Young man, I know you are angry about this reality, but with all due respect, accepting and adapting to the environment is the way to survive in the long run." "..." Ronald did not refute the old
man
. .
Just waving at the other party, he took Costat away and ignored Anthony.
From a practical point of view, he knew that the other party's attitude was understandable.
But Ronald didn't think so.
Even if the hope is slim, as long as the road to a happy ending exists, he still has to try.
After such an encounter during the trip, Ronald naturally had no intention of staying in this city. After the conversation ended, he took Costat and walked outside the city, preparing to find a place to take off, fly directly to the nest of the [Nine Rings Secret Society], and give them a hard time.
However, when the two of them walked out of the city, their pace slowed down.
After walking a distance of almost two kilometers, Ronald simply stopped moving forward, and stood beside the pipeline with Costat, quietly waiting for the figure behind him.
That's right - that Anthony actually followed!
The old man, who should have had a good rest, or was thankful that he was not in trouble, followed Ronald immediately after they left.
Even all the way out of the city, the other party had no intention of stopping.
It's just after noon now.
Anthony seemed to have the magic to strengthen his body, so it wasn't too tiring to follow the two of them. Only after he completely caught up, he took a big breath, as if to show that his physical strength was not as good as Ronald's.
Facing such an old man, Ronald did not show any pretense. He took the first step and asked:
"Tell me, why are you following us?"
"And I remind you, if you can't come up with any legitimate reason this time - then you may We're going to run into some trouble."
"I don't know what you plan to do." Anthony was very confident at this time, and even made an unexpected suggestion, "You may need a guide just to move in this land. ?"
Ronald raised his eyebrows: "So...?"
Anthony raised his old hand and pointed at his face:
"So, what do you think of me?"
