Chapter 220 Letter
After sending Raphael away from his new home, Ronald returned to the third floor alone and sat by the bed.
The apartment is divided into three floors, connected by a spiral staircase on the edge of the courtyard.
Entering from the gate, you are faced with a fairly spacious semi-open courtyard. Sitting here, you can even directly enjoy the noon and afternoon sun. Around this open space, public areas such as kitchens are placed around it.
Between the arrangements on the first floor, a total of two suites are available for habitation.
One of them is the landlord's own residence, and the tenant of the other seems to have been absent recently.
Next go up the stairs to the second floor.
Aito, who welcomed Ronald in before, and a tenant he has not yet met live here, and there is also a spare suite for rent.
As for Ronald's own third floor, he is now the only one living there.
There is also a room next door that has not yet been rented out.
Although the third floor is located relatively high, it has an extra small loft that can be used compared to the first and second floors. Overall, it is a very good accommodation environment.
Sitting on the already made bed.
Ronald relaxed his body and lay back, and began to think about what he needed to do next.
The first thing to solve when coming to Springs is naturally to find a way to find Lumiel's whereabouts. Not only are there unsolved mysteries on the Black Mountain, but based on the previous encounters in Burrenwich, Ronald feels that "The Divine Comedy" The last remaining "Purgatory" in the novel is probably in Lumil's hands.
This can also be said to be Ronald's main purpose in coming to Springs.
Then, there's Elva Sherwood.
The editor-in-chief who presided over the compilation of the Burrenwich Almanac was related to the mysterious organization that sent the coded letter. He himself now lives in the Springs, so Ronald naturally wanted to find an opportunity to visit him.
After
sorting out his itinerary in his mind, Ronald only then remembered the white-gold figure.
Patricia also lives in this city.
I don’t know when and under what circumstances I will meet this straightforward friend again. I just
think about it again and again.
Although it was still afternoon, the sun had not set.
But as everything around him settled down again, a feeling of exhaustion still emerged in Ronald. Slowly moving his body to the bed, he didn't bother to take off his clothes, and just fell into a vague sleep.
————
"Ronald?"
Bang -
"Is Mr. Ronald here?"
Bang -
What woke Ronald up from his sleep again was a rapid knock on the door and a call.
Recover consciousness from sleep.
He didn't take off his clothes and slept in his clothes. He immediately got up and walked towards the door:
"I'm here, who is it?"
Click -
stretched out his hand to open the door, and a middle-aged woman dressed as a servant stood at the door.
Probably because she was cleaning, the eyebrows on this woman's face were slightly wrinkled.
But soon, this situation changed.
After seeing Ronald's appearance clearly, the impatience on the maid's face quickly faded, and she immediately put on a smiling face and said,
"Mr. Ronald, I am Rita who is responsible for cleaning here."
" When I came here before, I saw your letter at the door, so I came here to remind you." "
If you need it, I can go get it for you now."
Ronald immediately stopped:
"Don't bother, I'll do it myself. Just go and get it."
While feeling a little emotional about the maid's change of expression, Ronald left the room and walked straight downstairs.
The winter sun shines lazily in the courtyard.
You don't even need to use the original ability, just from the angle of the light, you can tell that the time is now noon.
Did he actually sleep for such a long time?
Walking down the stairs, Ronald walked directly to the door, preparing to get the letter Rita mentioned.
Behind him, the maid who was cleaning the stairs chased him down and said in a very gentle tone: "Mr.
Ronald, if you have any letters in the future, I will just bring them up for you. I usually do it every day at noon and evening. Come over here and I can help you cook if necessary." "
By the way, I don't know where you are from." "
To be honest with you, I know a little bit about the cooking methods of various foods around the Springs. One or two, absolutely."
Seeing a handsome young man who suited her aesthetics move into the apartment, the maid became enthusiastic and talked endlessly. It was almost difficult to handle, and she couldn't get rid of it endlessly.
Especially Ronald and I are not long-standing enemies.
Rita just showed her affection for him, and he was too embarrassed to drive her away with a cold face.
After struggling like this for nearly a quarter of an hour.
Ronald finally managed to grab his letter and returned to the house alone.
"Huh -"
Sitting on the chair in his living room, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Although this kind of thing does not bring any physical pain, the mental torture is definitely not pleasant.
This encounter, to a certain extent, reminded him of some of the situations he had at Burrenwich Railway Station when he first joined the company.
After resting for a few seconds, Ronald sat on the chair and turned around to open the window.
Taking two sharp breaths of the moist air blowing from the Weiss River, he immediately turned around and looked at the envelope in front of him.
On the plain pale white envelope, short-haul postage was paid at the outset.
At the moment, there is only a string of addresses written in elegant fonts.
[Springs - Riverside District - No. 003 Brook Street - Oak Theater]
"."
When he saw this address, Ronald already had an inference in his mind.
This was probably an invitation sent to me by someone whose real name had not yet been revealed.
Tear open the envelope and take out the contents.
Sure enough, it was an opera ticket and a piece of letter paper with not much content.
Aside from the social etiquette clichés, it can be summed up as "I have a show this weekend night, and here are the tickets." ]
Staring at the contents of the letter, Ronald smiled and shook his head:
"I knew it."
After opening the drawer and stuffing the tickets inside and putting them away, Ronald stood up from the chair and moved his body.
Since it is an invitation from a friend, then I will definitely go and support it when the time comes.
Now,
let's go for a walk around the surrounding riverside area.
After all, this is the area where I will live next, so it is never wrong to familiarize yourself with the environment in advance.
If you encounter a situation that requires fighting or evading, you can be prepared.
——Open the door quietly.
After Ronald made sure that the maid was not on the third floor, he quickly locked the door and walked out.
Lower your steps and quickly go down to the first floor.
Just like that, he left the apartment without hesitating for a second.
