Chapter 1225 Map
"Since you know Mr. Halbes, you should have told him earlier!"
After Ronald said the name 'Helbes' and explained the experience of exploring together with him.
Just like the mermaid of the Nameless Sea.
The mermaid who was suppressed by Ronald at this moment had all the hostility on her face wiped away.
She didn't even care about being pinned down by Ronald, but directly grabbed Ronald's hand excitedly, as if what appeared in front of her was some precious treasure.
"..."
"Let's... let's get up and talk first."
Ronald took the initiative to pull the mermaid on the ground.
Ronald had already vaguely had a concrete image of Halbes that he had met on the island.
Although it may be suspected of taking advantage of others.
But when dealing with these mermaids, it is more appropriate to have some identity.
Otherwise, take the mermaid in front of you as an example.
The other party's attitude just now was clearly the reaction of an explorer who was investigating primitive tribes after being kidnapped by cannibals.
It is indeed too difficult to communicate smoothly under this premise.
"..."
"Oh, I was really scared to death just now."
"I thought I was going to finish this adventure!"
At this time, the mermaid who got up again was also sighing.
The other party obviously knew that his appearance was special, so he immediately resumed his disguised human form. However, she did not continue to use the male appearance just now, but maintained her beautiful face as a mermaid.
"Huh?" Ronald noticed a very important point.
Before and now, when the mermaid disguised herself as a human, the human perception effect of her "Divine Comedy" spell took effect smoothly.
But when the other party turns back into a mermaid, this detection will disappear again.
This illustrates a problem.
The mermaid's spell to disguise her identity is either a physical transformation ability that directly turns her into a human temporarily; or it is some kind of extremely high-priority spell that can even confuse the judgment of the original spell!
"Hello, let's get acquainted again."
While Ronald was thinking, the mermaid had already adjusted her posture, and then began to introduce herself:
"My name is Lilu, an explorer who is on an expedition!"
Ronald also followed suit. He introduced himself:
"Ronald, an ordinary human being?"
Mermaid Lilu didn't believe Ronald's self-introduction at all:
"Don't be kidding, ordinary people can't be as powerful as you, and you can even compete with Lord Halbes. Have an adventure!"
Mermaids are very active and enthusiastic about the people they identify with.
So after waving her hands in disbelief, Lilu directly cut into the topic that Ronald was concerned about:
"Ronald, you must have some special purpose in arresting such a big movement, right?" "
Tell me, tell me, Maybe I can also provide some help."
Ronald was currently preparing to rearrange his spells to pursue and intercept the pirates who had almost no way to escape.
But when the mermaid spoke to him, Ronald deliberately took his attention and explained his purpose:
"It's like this, I have entered a sealed world before, and met the wizard from the past..."
Ronald said He informed Lilu of his situation in an orderly manner.
During this period, his re-containment of the pirates was also quite smooth. It was estimated that he would be able to force these fleeing guys back in half an hour at most.
But at the same time, a small episode also happened here.
Seeing that the situation in the square had settled, Heloise and Patricia naturally came closer.
However, the mermaid Lilu has no favorable impression of the two girls at all.
Even though he didn't express his emotions openly, Ronald knew through his perception that Lilu looked at other humans like ordinary people watching monkeys in the park.
Ronald had no good solution for such a situation.
In other words, if he hadn't happened to meet Halbes, he might not have been able to communicate well with Lilu, a mermaid.
The barriers between different species cannot be easily eliminated.
...
At the same time, Lilu, after listening to Ronald's message, has also begun to offer help.
The mermaid said straightforwardly:
"Ronald, according to you, the things left by the person named Catalina must not be simple."
"In my harvest... Oh! It seems that there is really one. "
Lilu took off her adventure backpack as she spoke.
Then she reached out and pulled it back and forth twice, and finally took out a cylinder emitting blue light.
"What is this?" Heloise did not recognize what the mermaid took out.
"This, this is the map!" However, because of her experience, Patricia directly recognized the items Lilu took out, and immediately looked at Ronald, "Ronald, this is what you gave to His Highness. That kind of map!"
"..."
Ronald took what Lilu handed over.
Holding it in his hand, he naturally recognized that it was a map of the current world, exactly the same as the one Catalina gave to him.
If not there is a difference in wear between the two items.
Even if Ronald directly regards this as the original map, it is not impossible!
Ronald began to think:
"Map...why did Catalina leave a map in Rampart Mountain? This must have been left for me?"
The importance of the map is undoubted.
But from a practical point of view, there is no need for Catalina to give herself an extra one.
Unless through [Psychohistory], she is sure that she will lose...
Wait! Lost map!
Ronald instantly realized a possibility.
Some time ago, in order for the fleet to sail smoothly on the Sunken Ocean, Ronald did hand over his share of the map to the leader of the fleet, Claudia.
And it was the [Greed] fleet carrying this map that after entering the vicinity of Barrier Mountain, all the people on it disappeared.
In other words -
this map might be the key to revealing the secret.
The reason why Catalina left this thing in Barrier Mountain was because she predicted that Ronald would not have a map at this time, so she got an extra one!
Ronald quickly began to check the map in his hand.
But no matter what method is used, this thing does not show its uniqueness.
It seemed to be a simple map, silently mocking Ronald's mistakes in his guess.
Ronald did not give up immediately, but turned to look at the mermaid who had found the map:
"Lilu, where did you get this?"
Lilu had a very good impression of Ronald and replied directly without hesitation. :
"I found this in a collection room in the center of the mountain. If you want, I can take you there now!" The
mermaids were so positive, and Ronald naturally made an immediate decision:
"Okay, let's Go over and take a look!"
