Chapter 1468: Deducing the Enemy Traces
"Now, you can leave."
In the basement, Ronald was explaining his thoughts to Costat.
Nicole was not idle during this period. She turned around and ordered Gautier, who had just been rescued from prison, "
But my personal suggestion is that you'd better leave this city immediately, otherwise If we happen to meet in the city, don't blame me for being too harsh." "
This...I understand!" Gautier's expression was stunned, but his eyes quickly regained clarity.
He decisively turned around and walked towards the big hole that the four people had knocked open when they came down. His body was no longer agile enough for his age, and he jumped out of the basement.
On the surface -
Ronald and the others can continue to control the caster and drive each other in the subsequent search for the "Book of Interpretation".
But actually?
[Nine Rings Secret Meeting] is already plotting against Ronald and the others.
So in order to ensure that this plan can proceed smoothly, it is indispensable to monitor the actions of the three of them during this period to deal with various emergencies that may occur.
How can we successfully monitor Ronald and the others?
——Using spells
, any one of these three guys has the highest level of combat power on the mysterious side, and it is easy to annihilate ordinary people.
While trying to lock them with magic, he also concealed the perception of these three guys.
The difficulty of this kind of thing is no less than annihilating all three people in a frontal battle. It is not an option from the beginning.
If you can't use magic directly, you can only use a roundabout strategy.
The problem here comes to the human aspect.
Gautier, who was rescued from prison by Ronald and the others and forced to lead the search for the "Book of Interpretations", naturally became the best target for this candidate.
When Ronald and the others first met Gautier, what was Gautier's state like?
--coma!
This old man, who knew everything about the Nine Precepts Secret Society, allowed others to do whatever he wanted while completely unconscious.
With mysterious side means and abilities.
Naturally, there is a body camera that can remotely monitor the three Ronalds without alerting them.
Gautier himself may not have known this.
But when Ronald and the others discussed it without hesitation and Nicole showed her attitude.
This once high-status magician was naturally unwilling to wade into troubled waters again.
Instead, leave directly and decisively, and at the same time find a way to check or deal with possible surveillance on yourself.
...
Just like that, Gautier's figure quickly left the underground laboratory.
Next, Nicole withdrew her gaze and naturally looked at the remaining guys controlled by Ronald's spirit.
The investigator girl's eyes instantly became cold and dangerous.
Gautier had just provided them with information about the "Book of Interpretations". The merits and demerits were balanced, and considering the hostile stance of the other party and the "Nine Rings Secret Society", it was naturally not a problem to let him go.
But these guys in the laboratory are completely loyal to the [Nine Rings Secret Society] and are outright enemies in every aspect!
Naturally, Nicole had no idea of showing off her lively and cheerful personality to her enemies.
So, in the short period of less than three minutes when Ronald was explaining the idea to Costart, Nicole was drawing runes on her hands while walking past the spellcasters in the laboratory one by one.
At this time, Nicole really behaved like an ace investigator on an infiltration mission.
Without exception, everyone she passed quickly fell to the ground under the attack of rune spells, and their chests stopped rising and falling in the blink of an eye.
There is almost no magic leakage here, and outsiders cannot detect the existence of magic. It even looks like a relaxed and carefree walk. A few breaths passed, and everyone in the basement fell to the ground.
Ronald and the other three were the only ones who could still stand and speak.
Nicole turned back to Ronald, put on her unique cute smile and asked:
"How about it, explain it clearly to Costart?"
Ronald nodded in response:
"Let's go directly. !”
…
After dealing with this laboratory that was used as bait and misdirection.
The three Ronalds left the ground, but then uncharacteristically did not continue the search.
Standing on the ground of the living area, Ronald recited a spell.
"Starting from the relationship between the entire earth and the sky, our understanding will begin to form!"
With the blessing of the extremely high speed of "Almagest".
The three of them accelerated vertically from a corner of the city and reached high altitudes in the blink of an eye.
Looking down.
It's early morning, but the city is still in chaos.
While adjusting the runes on her body, Nicole shifted from covert action to frontal combat. At the same time, she asked Ronald: "Ronald, since
you said so just now, you must have an idea now, right?
" Nader nodded slightly.
He did not answer Nicole, but stretched his hand into the distance and pointed at the wilderness surrounding the city below him.
Nicole immediately understood what Ronald meant:
"You mean these guys are hiding outside the city?"
Ronald nodded and answered:
"Yes, the people of [Nine Rings Secret Society] want to achieve what they planned. The purpose is to not stay in the city in the first place."
"They know a lot of my spells and understand that such behavior will greatly increase the probability of them being discovered. Especially with my reconnaissance spell that specializes in people, even if they hide under In the barrier that isolates detection, there is no guarantee of 100% safety."
Ronald's voice gradually died down when he said this, and Nicole followed the logical thinking of an investigator and said:
"But at the same time, as a stayer here, we must delay it as much as possible. Our operational personnel also need to be close enough to the city so that they can respond to emergencies in time!" "
This means they cannot be too far from the city!"
What Nicole thought was exactly the same as Ronald's analysis.
While the girl was showing her reasoning process, Ronas also took in a panoramic view of the terrain surrounding the city below, and then selected the most suspicious target: "The terrain nearby is the most suitable
here."
Ronas De refers to a canyon south of the city.
Two mountain-like cliffs stand under the morning light from the east. Half of them are as bright as the newly lit sky, while the other side is still shrouded in darkness.
I don’t know how many years ago, the water flow carved a straight and broad road between the two cliffs. Then, as time went by, the source of the water flowing here has long since disappeared, leaving only this ravine as a way for people to walk here. the way.
The reason why Ronald pointed here.
This is because the cliffs on both sides of the canyon are at a high enough altitude. As long as one is at this height, one can easily overlook the surroundings and even all the buildings in the south of the city.
In the canyon is the straight passage leading to the southern gate of the city.
It also makes it easier for them to rush back to the city in time to respond when problems are discovered.
Looking at the entire capital area, only this place is the most suitable for the monitors to stay here!
