Chapter 1388: In troubled times
, they just want to get an identity and sneak in. It is not troublesome for Ronald and the others.
There is no need to get rid of Claudia and [Gred]’s fleet.
They can even find a city at random and use magic to operate it, and the corresponding needs will be met immediately.
But now that we have chosen to play it safe, we must stick to it.
When it comes to choosing a infiltration identity, the most reassuring targets can only be the companions of the [Gred] fleet.
Not to mention the relationship cultivated between the two parties before and during this journey.
Just from the fact that they are all hostile to the [Nine Rings Secret Society], they are also the most trustworthy people.
Especially Claudia is currently involved in the King of the South Sea incident.
As long as the actual situation is explained, there is no possibility of rejection from [Grader]!
Even if he acts like this, Ronald still has room for subsequent choices.
The witch Keya, who had great respect for Kostat, the church staff with whom she had always had a good relationship, and the group of spellcasters who followed Entrod.
They are all good partners in the current situation!
...
The next morning, the three Ronalds were flying in the air.
With Costart's guidance, it was not difficult to make the journey this time.
Just because of the inward concave shape of the land edge, after they flew over a section of land, they quickly arrived at the sea and turned into a cross-sea flight. During this period, they even saw the conditions of other cities.
Overall, the conditions in these cities vary.
Some places were just like what Ronald had seen before. Both sides were going through the motions tacitly, and no one was even injured during the whole day's fighting. But there were also parts of the city where the enemy was fighting to the death, and the color of the nearby sea was even All have changed as a result.
The flight of the three Ronalds went from morning to night.
After witnessing large and small battles, I also have a summary of the situation in the cities on the edge of the continent. The further south you go, the less violent conflict there is; while the further north you go, real fighting becomes more mainstream.
This also echoes the choice of the [Grade] fleet.
They were stationed on the northern coast to intervene in this incident. Of course, it was impossible for them to maintain the situation as a false battle. In a world where the mysterious side dominates the upper class, the winner determined by force is the most efficient result.
Regarding this situation, Catalina couldn't help complaining to Ronald while flying:
"Look, that little girl is so smart!"
"She knows when to use the most appropriate method. She was in the barrier before. When I climbed the mountain, I could tell that this was a talent."
Ronald replied with a normal expression:
"Of course Claudia is a talent. She was trained as the successor of [Gred]. When she encountered this kind of thing, There is no problem in acting like this at this time, or as you said, it is a wise decision."
Catalina pouted her mouth glumly, and said terrible words in a cute way:
"Then you can't be wiser, and follow Do I fight all the way in?"
Ronald showed a pleased expression:
"I'm very lucky - when faced with this choice, I can only act on behalf of my own personal thoughts."
Ronald and Catalina bickered daily , accustomed to it.
On the other hand, Costate, who was on the sidelines, showed quite a keen interest in this situation.
This was the first time the maid had seen Ronald communicating so well with others.
From her knowledge and impressions, Ronald was almost always polite except for being rough with El.
In this way, Kostat fell into thinking. Now she not only has curious thoughts about many things, but can also analyze them from a new perspective. This is a quite unique state.
I don’t know how much time has passed, but the sky is still predominantly black.
Costart, who was thinking, inadvertently looked down, and the dark sea water and dots of bright lights came into his eyes.
"Sir, we are almost there!"
Costat suddenly woke up and immediately said to Ronald:
"Let's move closer to the land now, and we will soon see the city where the fleet is stationed."
Ronald Momo The flight direction was changed silently.
At the same time, he looked in the direction that surprised Costat, and he also spotted the light spots on the black sea.
The scene below is a bit unbelievable.
"Costat, these... are all fishing boats?"
Through detection magic, Ronald had determined that these light spots came from the fish luring lights on the fishing boats, but he felt a little weird in his heart.
The war at sea becomes more intense the closer you get to the north.
At this dangerous moment, there are still large-scale fishing boats coming out to catch fish. Unless this is some way to lure the enemy, this kind of operation is really hard to understand!
Faced with the question this time, Costat also shook his head in confusion:
"Sir, I don't know."
"When I left here three days ago, I didn't pay attention to the activities of the fishermen. Maybe you have to ask the locals to know. Yes."
"..."
Ronald fell into thinking.
In a few breaths, the junction between the ground and the ocean has reached below, and the city with few lights at night also appears in the distance.
Considering the next action, Ronald simply made a decision and said to the girl next to him who could fly on her own: "
Katerina, lower the altitude, we will walk the rest of the way."
Katerina said almost habitually Contrary to Ronald's opinion:
"If I were you, I would fly all the way to the center of the city to make a grand appearance, show off my current strength, and let people here know who we are!" This is what Catalina
said Yes, but this is not the case in actual actions.
Ronald made a decision, and she immediately began to land, with no trace of reluctance in her movements.
The three of them landed on the beach in an orderly manner.
The distance between here and the city is very close. A few kilometers away, on a terrain that follows the mountains, the city is protected by a simple wall. The side facing the sea is not closed and faces the sea directly.
As they walked towards the city, Ronald and the others also discovered that there were people like merchants stationed here sporadically.
Among them, those who were good at communicating and enthusiastic even came up to talk to Ronald and others.
Through Hong Shang's description, the situation gradually became clear.
In the past, cities in the Southern Continent would not refuse outsiders entry like this, but now the situation is tense and most cities have chosen to be closed, making entry more troublesome than imagined.
Although the city in front of you requires troublesome procedures and waiting.
But under the current situation, a city that can be entered in a day or two - this reason is enough for businessmen to choose.
After bidding farewell to the merchants, Catalina did not forget to praise her on the way:
"I'm right!"
"That little girl named Claudia is really amazing. She can keep the city running normally in such a chaotic situation. This is absolutely incredible." Most people can do it."
Ronald nodded in agreement:
"I never said she couldn't do it!"
Within a few words.
The three Ronalds also came to the city entrance and faced the night guards protecting the city.
