Chapter 272 Visiting Friends
The door to the apartment was not closed today.
So when Ronald walked down the stairs, he saw a little boy hiding behind the gate in the courtyard, looking out carefully.
And outside the apartment...
Ronald's excellent hearing could detect the sounds of other children playing. They should be playing hide-and-seek games.
It is in this courtyard that a familiar figure appears.
——It is indeed Patricia.
However, it is different from when she met Berenwich. Now Patricia's long white-blond hair has been tied into a princess braid and tied up in a classical way. The only thing holding her hair is a simple light yellow hairband. .
As for the specific dress...
In the city where Patricia lived, there was no trace of weapons on her body, she didn't even carry a sword, and her clothes were simple and easy to move.
Look at it as a whole.
The girl in front of her is always dressed in a way that suits her character.
At this moment, Patricia stood upright and half leaned against the wall, looking at the boy at the door with a smile in her eyes.
She seems to like children's rough and tumble play.
When Ronald came down the stairs, the girl noticed the sound before turning her eyes from the door.
Watching Ronald walking towards her, Patricia also left the wall and greeted the friend in front of her in a brisk tone:
"Ronald, long time no see" "
..."
Ronald also showed his face A hint of smile:
"Yeah, it's been a while since we last met."
Patricia continued to ask:
"How are you getting used to the lifestyle in Springs?"
Faced with this question, Ronald recalled After taking a look at her life in the Springs for the past few days, she said in a complicated tone:
"How should I put it..."
"It's just a habit..."
Looking at Ronald's expression when he spoke, Patricia couldn't bear it. I couldn't help but laugh out loud:
"Haha."
"I've also heard about what happened to you in the past two days. It does sound difficult."
"..."
Chatting with Patricia one by one. , the two of them also walked out of the door and onto the street outside.
In the riverside area early in the morning, you can see many young people walking on their way to school.
You can also see children playing and quarreling on the roadside.
It feels very good to walk with Patricia in such a peaceful atmosphere of life.
After walking about two or three hundred meters along the Vis River, and seeing that there was no one on the other side of the river embankment, the two of them tacitly changed the topic to the mysterious side.
The first person to ask questions was Patricia:
"Ronald, I heard about what you have been through these past few days."
"But regarding these specific circumstances, did you really confront two original code holders?"
"..."
Patricia's intelligence source is really reliable.
Ronald originally thought that she only knew one of the two battles, but he didn't expect that Patricia actually knew them all. This was probably the convenience brought by her noble status.
Thinking like this, Ronald didn't hide Patricia's intention.
He immediately opened his mouth to explain:
"I met the holder of the original code twice. The process is somewhat coincidental. The first one was the second night I came to the Springs..."
Ronald spoke at a steady pace. about his own experiences.
Patricia listened quietly to his story.
After she finished talking about her experiences in the past few days, the girl nodded thoughtfully, and then changed the subject:
"Ronald, do you plan to find a job in the Springs?"
"With your current situation, With my identity, I can think of ways to introduce you to some relatively good positions?"
Ronald lowered his head slightly and thought:
"Work..."
To be honest, he didn't mind Patricia introducing him to jobs.
But in Springs, I still have more important things to do, so it’s better to put my work aside first.
So, he shook his head at Patricia and replied:
"As for work, I have no plans in this regard recently." "
Coming to Springs, it's better to deal with some things as soon as possible."
Hearing Ronald's refusal After hearing her own suggestion, Patricia had no objection and replied in the same normal tone:
"In that case, I wish you all the best in these things." "
..."
The topic ended.
After walking for a while, it was Ronald who took the initiative to speak this time:
"By the way, Patricia."
"In Springs, do you have any good ideas for gathering intelligence or finding people? Or A way to understand some mysterious past history."
As soon as the question came out, Patricia raised her eyebrows.
The question Ronald asked was a bit sensitive. Even for the mysterious side itself, relatively weak schools or individual practitioners are types that are not easy to come into contact with.
But since the person asking the question was Ronald, Patricia decided to answer him generously.
So walking on the embankment of the Weiss River, the girl explained in a serious tone:
"In gathering intelligence or finding people, the Investigation Bureau and the Church are undoubtedly the most powerful, but considering the difficulty of contact, I think you can Go to the chamber of commerce supported by mysterious forces to seek help. In exchange for information for the goodwill of an original code holder, there is no reason for them to choose to refuse." Speaking of
this, Patricia added as if she remembered something:
"But choose In this way, Ronald, you are likely to come into contact with the nobles who sponsor the Chamber of Commerce, and then be involved in the struggle between the old and new noble forces. Although there is no big problem on the surface, this kind of thing is on our side It's very dangerous."
"Take my family as an example. The reputation that we relied on honor and history in the past is no longer as effective as it once was. Emerging nobles who use assets as their path will always be tit for tat with us." "Even if there is a queen
. Your Majesty is suppressing this kind of contest, but once this kind of thing gets involved, the level of trouble will be exaggerated." With the
advancement of the times, changes in social structure, and the change and reorganization of old forces.
These were things that Ronald had read about in books and even experienced personally in some countries.
It is not incomprehensible that someone like the Queen interferes in this world.
So, Ronald nodded slightly as usual:
"I understand."
"What about understanding history?"
Upon hearing this question, Patricia shifted her gaze to the direction in which the two people behind her were walking.
With a meaningful smile on her face, she slowly said:
"Ronald, knowledge is the most important to us."
"As for the inheritance of knowledge, there is no doubt that there is one place in the Springs. The core of this aspect."
Ronald immediately understood what Patricia meant.
Immediately, he opened his mouth and confirmed:
"You're talking about... the riverside area?"
Patricia nodded generously:
"That's right."
