Chapter 1516: Morning Walk
There is only one day left before the ceremony is completed.
Ronald and the others have sorted out all the Holy City information on hand and are ready for the next plan to enter the [Seven-String Seal].
Logically speaking, in this case, they should recharge their batteries and replenish their energy for the final action.
– But Ronald couldn’t catch a break.
The dangerous enemies we are about to face form an extremely sharp contrast with the cheerful festival in the city in front of us.
This kind of tranquility before the coming rain makes people unable to feel at ease.
Ronald's body was strong enough. Since he couldn't sleep, he simply stopped resting and perfected their plan as much as possible before taking action.
But on this last day.
Based on the information he had, he determined that he would not be able to optimize his actions in a short period of time.
So when the singing at night gradually faded away.
Ronald got up from the second floor of the library that had become their base, picked up a loaf of bread prepared at the top of the stairs, and walked downstairs alone.
"..."
"Costat, I'm going out for a walk."
Ronald did not forget to tell his maid.
Hearing the sound, Costat, who was immersed in the huge and precious collection in the library, immediately looked up.
"Sir, you are not reading here..." Costart sounded confused and was about to ask questions. But she immediately changed her mind, "Do you want me to follow you when we go out this time?" "
I'll just walk by myself, and you can read a book here."
Ronald rejected Costate directly.
To say that he is not interested in the collection of books here is absolutely impossible given his character!
But reading also pays attention to mood.
The haze that entered the Holy City hung over his head. At this time, he couldn't calm down and read a book for entertainment.
Ronald walked down quickly and arrived at the door on the first floor.
At this time, he gave the final warning:
"Well... Costart, take good care of Martha, she needs to rest now."
"Sir, I understand!" Costart's reply came immediately.
Excluding the halo, the church's holy priest is just a young girl after all. Even if he mastered magic, he couldn't compare with strong men like Ronald or Costart.
After several days of intense effort.
After confirming that the plan was completed, Martha was resting on the bench on the second floor, recovering her strength for the final battle.
Click——
Pushing open the library door, Ronald stepped away.
Singing activities in the city peak at night and in the afternoon.
The most exciting time at this moment was over, the street entered a resting rhythm, and Ronald felt a rare quietness.
Only in a few scattered places on the street, energetic residents gathered in twos and threes, exchanging their thoughts with each other.
"The tranquility during the festival is not bad, isn't it?"
Leaving the library, Ronald walked on such a street, and his tense mentality began to relax with everything he saw.
Just walking aimlessly like this.
Following the road in the city, he arrived at the palace in the city.
"..."
Ronald, who was suddenly aware of his position, raised his head and looked in the direction of the treasure house.
The other two church members who followed Martha into the [Singing Forest] are among them at the moment. After everyone took the saint's legacy, Martha handed the keys to the two of them and entrusted them with the responsibility of this place.
When it comes to the [Seven String Seal] action, these two people do not intend to participate.
This is not timidity in the face of danger.
But for the church, this treasure house from the past is extremely precious. As the only people who have entered [Singing Forest], they cannot leave this place uncontrolled.
After discussing with Martha.
The final result is that the Holy Priest and Ronald continue to act.
The remaining two church members guard this place with the keys to the treasure house, waiting for the subsequent church to take over the place.
"..."
He stopped outside the palace and stared for a while.
Ronald did not stay long and did not bother the palace guards.
He comes quietly and leaves quietly. But the palace in front of him reminded Ronald of the core of the ceremony, the square in the middle of the city.
With a hint of curiosity and concern as to whether the ceremony was going well or not.
Ronald's stroll around the city had a new purpose.
This stroll was not in a hurry. When Ronald slowly came to the city square, it was almost noon, and the orc residents who were immersed in the festival became active again.
Just at the outermost edge of the square, Ronald saw the figure of Aurel's clone.
Due to the setting made by Aurel before he left, this avatar was serious, responsible and tireless, maintaining his mission in the square for several days in a row, thus ensuring the cheerful atmosphere in the city.
With this effort.
The rituals hidden under the surface of the festival proceed smoothly and smoothly without any haze.
Even if you know that the other person has no real self.
But Ronald was standing on the edge of the square now, and he still lowered his voice and said thank you:
"Thank you so much for your work."
After confirming what he cared about, Ronald, who had been walking for a whole morning, was also ready to return to his base camp. 's library.
However, he didn't wait until he left the square.
After taking a few steps, Ronald was stopped in place.
"Excuse me, friend, do you have time?"
Ronald was stopped by two orc girls with comfortable and happy expressions. Even though he was not of the same race, seeing the other party's joyful look, Ronald naturally nodded and smiled back:
"Of course, what can I do for you?"
"My name is Lily." "I'm Mana." Two orc girls He immediately smiled and expressed his intention, "Actually, we are running a small competition, but we currently lack judges. Can you please help evaluate it?" Looking at the expectant expressions of the two orc girls, Ronald nodded naturally
. Yes.
Although he was not a professional singer, he was attentive and ready to listen.
Among the two, Lily was the first to speak.
She sang a popular folk song, and the sweet melody flowed in a corner of the square, quickly attracting the attention of people around her.
Mana, who sings second, sings a story about a legendary hero. Her singing voice is majestic and moving. The high-pitched parts are perfectly handled, and the light parts are like butterflies dancing on the stone path, making people intoxicated.
But Ronald's expression was tangled.
Because the protagonist of this story is none other than Aurel who ran away early!
He could understand the respect and love the orcs of [Singing Forest] had for Aurel, but when comparing the contents of the legendary poems with the scenes he had seen with his own eyes, the contradictions in them inevitably made him unable to hold back.
While Ronald was struggling in his heart, the two orc girls also finished singing, and curious and expectant eyes came to them: "
Sir, what do you think of our singing?"
"I...Lily's singing is pleasant to the ear, There is no doubt about this, everyone likes it." Ronald praised Lily first, and then came to Mana. After thinking for a moment, he finally said, "Mana is equally outstanding, and her singing also brought back my memories." Hearing the
compliment , the joy of the two orc girls was written directly on their faces, but they did not forget to ask about the result of this game:
"Then which one of us won?"
Ronald looked embarrassed:
"The singing of both of you They're all impressive. But when it comes to competition, it's really hard for me to decide the winner..."
Ronald wanted to continue fooling around.
But at this moment, he suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the judges' seat in the square.
The place where Orel's clone sat.
There happened to be a strange movement at this moment!
