Chapter 1407: Escaping and Leaving
Ronald chose to solve the problem by making dolls.
Although there has been no demand for use.
But now, the puppet spell obtained from Lumil can finally be put to use.
——"The Nutcracker"
, a spell that originated from the original fairy tale, once caused Ronald a lot of trouble.
Especially the disguised doll that can replace the real body is even more lifelike.
Unless you are the holder of the original code and have a special detection spell, it is almost impossible for the latter to see through the true body of the doll.
And this ability just meets Ronald's needs.
On the one hand, the two of them can continue to move freely, and at the same time, the puppets left here can fully handle negotiations with outsiders, and even fighting is not a problem!
Just that night.
When night falls.
Ronald and Costat changed their appearance again and left the hotel with a completely new look. The people monitoring here were so focused on the so-called 'Balmore Brothers and Sisters' that no one paid attention to their departure.
After walking out of the hotel, Ronald looked back behind him.
The lights were on in the room where they lived, and the two people disguised as puppets were inside, displaying themselves like works of art.
It's lifelike and has no flaws.
"Costat, let's go."
"Go directly to the capital of [Nine Rings Secret Society]. As for the rest of the news, what we see on the road should be able to meet our needs." ...The
seasons
in the southern hemisphere and the northern hemisphere of this world are opposite.
Although the season where Ronald and the others are located is about to enter midsummer, the temperature of the environment is still cold due to the longitude and latitude.
Leave the city under the cover of night.
The two of them followed the official road all the way south until dawn, but the weather did not improve.
until noon.
The sun drove away a group of dark clouds, and its warm light shone on the earth.
This allowed the ground to regain some temperature, allowing people to avoid sneezing frequently while walking on it.
At the same time, Ronald walked straight forward, walking with agile steps under the warm summer sun.
Costat on the side was looking at the map in his hand.
The maid would ask a few questions from time to time.
Whenever this happens, Ronald will always answer immediately to prevent Costate from falling into too many doubts.
Just keep moving forward.
It wasn't until the evening was approaching that Kostat brought up the current situation:
"Sir, the next city is still some distance away from us. At the current speed... If I don't equip myself in advance, I'm afraid I won't be able to make tonight's food."
Luo Nader was not worried and pointed forward.
"Costat, look at the ruts under our feet. There should be a convoy not far ahead. And if you carefully observe the size and focus of the carriage, you can confirm that they are not simple pedestrians, but merchants carrying a lot of goods."
Costat asked tentatively:
"Are you planning to join them?"
"Of course." Ronald nodded as he should, "Businessmen have always been the most well-informed group. If you want to understand our enemies and the current environment, This is almost the best choice."
As it turns out, Ronald's guess was quite accurate.
Spotting the rutted tracks at dusk, they moved on at only a slightly faster walking pace than an average person. As a result, before nightfall, we saw a caravan camping on the roadside.
The caravan, consisting of less than ten people, set up camp to rest surrounded by horse-drawn carriages. Looking from a distance, in addition to the rising smoke, you can also hear singing.
This voice may not have received professional training, so it is not very in tune.
But the joy in it can be expressed, proving that the person singing is in a good mood.
Continuing forward, the two sides are getting closer and closer, and the farthest edge of the horizon is plunged into darkness.
At this moment, Ronald suddenly smiled hoarsely and looked at Costate, who looked serious next to him.
I haven't encountered this kind of environment for a long time.
It reminded him of what happened at the beginning of time travel.
When he encountered Yuan Dian's test in the mansion, he was so frightened that he didn't know the situation yet, so he had the courage to escape from the town overnight. That's when I met Heloise's convoy and "The Divine Comedy - Inferno" on the Black Mountain.
But what if it was another possibility.
Didn't he run away that night, but stayed where he was?
Costat will definitely not take action against himself, so if things continue to develop, it will be a completely different story today.
Although he didn't laugh out loud, Ronald's emotion was so obvious that he was immediately noticed by the maid on the side.
"Sir, you look happy?"
"Yes, I am very happy." Ronald nodded slightly and touched his chin. "I feel that my choices have created everything today. Although there are some twists and turns along the way, most things have a pretty good ending. This is undoubtedly a happy thing." In the past, Costart probably only thought about this when he heard this
. Will nod.
But this is not the case for her now. The maid has learned to think deeply like a human being:
"Sir, are you saying that you have no regrets about the past?"
Ronald immediately shook his head and rejected:
"That's not what I meant. Kos Tate, in my opinion, regret has no effect on what has happened."
Costart was very puzzled by this, and immediately raised his own questions and doubts:
"But... you clearly have [precession] like this Spells?"
"..."
Ronald was directly asked.
He can talk about the truth, but things like spells are really unreasonable!
And he happened to still have it on hand.
Even in today's well-informed state, Ronald has no doubt about how outrageous the magic of [Precession], which reverses time, is.
In the end, Ronald just had to explain:
"I think spells and people are two different things."
"Attitudes are attitudes, spells are spells. We should treat them as two independent things."
Costart looked troubled. , and even immediately asked:
"But that's not what you said when you taught Miss Phil before."
"I clearly remember your words: 'People are complex individuals and cannot be treated with simple labels or elements. It’s about analyzing it from as many angles as possible, so that you can get closer to the truth about people.’ Sir, your views are obviously different before and after, and I can’t understand it!”
Ronald opened his mouth, and for a moment lost his instinct to argue:
"You...you have a really good memory!"
"Sir, thank you for your compliment. But how should I explain the question just now?"
"Costat, do it. As a person, sometimes you don't want to get to the bottom of a problem!"
"But I still want to know the explanation!"
"..."
The 'argument' between Ronald and Costart did not last long.
Because just ahead, people from the carriage camp spotted them, and then took the initiative to say hello:
"You two, if you don't mind, come here and have a seat!"
