Chapter 1451: Selfish Desires
So Anthony also joined in the excavation work.
With the combined efforts of three skilled casters, the debris of these ruins can be easily cleared, and the speed is greatly accelerated.
Just a few minutes later.
Ronald, who had the clearest idea of the location, finally saw the familiar color of the robe of the [Nine Rings Secret Society] caster after lifting up a broken building fragment.
"I have this guy's body here!" Ronald said excitedly.
Costate and Anthony nearby heard the sound and immediately turned their attention.
After a little action, the three of them successfully cleared the location where the [Nine Rings Secret Society] caster died.
Just after seeing the scene buried underground.
The three of them fell silent.
...
It’s so miserable!
This caster had already had his body cut off by Ronald.
After losing the life maintained by the spell, the body almost immediately lost its activity.
Coupled with being underground and receiving pressure from the surroundings, his body, which was originally divided into two parts, was now crushed into a rotten piece. Broken bones could even be seen in the holes in the robe.
The elderly Anthony couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene:
"Mr. Ronald, the fate of this enemy is really uncomfortable just looking at it."
Ronald didn't want to be replaced by this scene. Taking the blame for the tragedy.
He immediately shrugged and explained to Anthony:
"To be honest, this is not something I did."
"The fact that things ended up like this was entirely because they wanted to get rid of me, a difficult enemy, and they set up this trap." Such a terrible trap. In fact, if I had been a little weak, I'm afraid he wouldn't be the only one who would have suffered a tragedy here."
Ronald's words were just a simple explanation, but they aroused a strong reaction from Costart on the side. Reaction:
"Sir, this will never happen!"
"Costat is here. If something like this happens, I will do everything in my power to save you!"
"..."
"Costat, if you really encounter In a similar situation, I hope you will put your own safety as your first priority."
Ronald also did not expect Costate's reaction to be so violent.
So after the maid spoke, he immediately gave the other party a new order.
When Costa heard this, he naturally retorted.
However, Ronald waved his hand, interrupting the maid's movements with an attitude that would not allow her to refuse.
Then he stepped forward and, enduring his nausea, took off the robe from the corpse.
——"On the Nature of Things".
The original scripture belonging to this spellcaster lies here quietly.
In the final state of the original code holder, there was definitely no way to do anything else to the original code. He could only let him die and let the original code detach from his body naturally.
Ronald quickly reached out and picked up the original book, and Anthony on the side also gave him a curious look.
Normally, this old man would definitely not look at other people's original texts so carelessly. It's just that along the way, Anthony has more or less understood Ronald's informal character, so he came closer at this moment: "
This is the original scripture of the [Nine Rings Secret Society] spell caster..."
Anthony's voice was a little emotional. .
When he thought that this was the origin of the enemy who had the dominant power over his land, many emotions naturally emerged in his heart.
Ronald then answered:
"Yes, I also learned some information during the battle. Its name is "On the Nature of Things."
When he read the name of the original book, there was a hint of respect in Ronald's tone.
This is more than just respect for this great work.
At the same time, it is also a respect for the practitioners in this world who once held this original book.
However for some reasons.
Ronald had no intention of exposing his ability to decipher original texts to Anthony.
So he just made a preliminary inspection of the original book.
Then he put it away in the ordinary way.
Seeing this action, Costat knew that the matter here was over, and immediately asked:
"Sir, are we leaving this island now?"
Ronald shook his head and turned his gaze to Anthony next to him. :
"Mr. Anthony, Costate and I had our reconnaissance capabilities blocked during the battle, and there was no way to estimate the position that was too far away." "You were
at the beach at the time. You should have seen the guy who escaped with his clone, right?"
Ronald said. This question is actually a small test.
It was true that his detection ability was frequently blocked by the [Property of Physics] spell during the battle, but he was still aware of Anthony's condition when he was able to use the spell several times during the battle.
Actually off the island.
The location of the old spellcaster, as well as the subsequent delay in returning to the island, should be related to the holder of the original code who can clone himself.
Next, Anthony used practical actions to dispel Ronald's doubts. He even directly revealed the enemy's background:
"I did meet that guy, and there were some less troublesome battles." "
While trying to stop him , While he was escaping, I discovered that after the guy's clone dies or actively cancels it, the memory will be synchronized to other clones. Unfortunately, there were too many people running around on the sea. I tried to annihilate many of them, but still couldn't We found his true identity and finally let him escape."
Ronald didn't care about the enemy's escape:
"It's nothing. The symbol of victory is never to annihilate the enemy in a battle, but to achieve one's own goal. "
We have now weakened the high-end combat power of the [Nine Rings Secret Society], and also attacked their plan to excavate the island ruins. From any point of view, this is a very successful raid." Anthony also agreed with
Rona Moral view.
He soon no longer dwelled on his mistakes, but continued Costate's question:
"So what do you mean now?"
"Should we stay here and continue to set traps, waiting for the enemy's counterattack, or should we stay here and continue to set traps and wait for the enemy's counterattack? Are you talking about retreating to the mainland and continuing to wait for opportunities?"
"..."
Faced with this question, Ronald did not answer immediately.
He looked at the underground ruins around him that were compacted by soil, and the selfish desires in his heart were at work.
Ronald has always been a man who loves his job.
This has not changed even after coming to this world.
So after weighing the pros and cons based on the actual situation, he made a slightly selfish decision that would not affect the overall situation: "After
leaving today, we may not have the chance to go to this island again in a short period of time." "
So before leaving , , I suggest that we study the situation here as much as possible and check the specific conditions of the ruins. We may also be able to discover some secrets about the [Nine Rings Secret Society]." "Of course, in order not to delay the business." "Whether there is
or
not Harvest, we will leave here immediately at dawn tomorrow morning!"
