Chapter 284 Leisurely Life
One afternoon after spring, we were on the third floor of an apartment by the Weiss River.
An old woman in a robe was sitting and leaning leisurely on a chair on the balcony. At the same time, she raised the tea cup in her hand and said to the balcony: "Mr. Ronald,
this kind of machine-processed tea tastes basically unimaginable." The smell of rust is completely different from what I thought before."
Immediately, on the balcony next to the big witch, Ronald, who had excellent hearing, heard this sigh.
Leaning completely on his newly purchased recliner, he replied casually:
"This... maybe the tea manufacturing technology is better."
As soon as he finished speaking, the big witch next door happily replied:
"Springs I really like the tea."
"Mr. Ronald, if you have a chance, let the friends downstairs buy us some other brands of tea."
Ronald lay on the chair and didn't even get up, just turned slightly to the side. When I turned my head, I immediately saw a man who was fishing by the river stand up and disappear in the distance of the river embankment.
No need to think too much.
After hearing what the big witch said, the investigators who were around to help had already set off to buy tea.
Lifting the book in his hand and turning a page, Ronald sighed with emotion:
"Ms. Teresa, you are really good at summoning people."
The big witch immediately replied:
"It's a rare time for me to come here."
"... ..."
It's a bit strange to say.
Since arriving in the Springs, the great witch has no intention of going out and has been chatting with herself in the apartment all day long.
This kind of behavior is as if she gave up the mission of chasing the [Original Witch Coven] and planned to retire in this city.
In this way, he and the big witch were having a life-filled conversation one after another.
Ronald's eyes shifted to the book in front of him again.
As the main force monitoring the Great Witch, he naturally could only stay at home with her. Fortunately, the purpose of joining the [Scroll Research Society] was not affected. Every day when commuting to get off work, Mu Li would bring Ronald a borrowed book from the library on time.
For example, the book "Grand's Fairy Tales" he is reading now was one that Miao Li helped him select from the library last night.
After reading a little bit, Ronald had to admit the professionalism of Mu Li, a member of the [Scroll Research Society].
After he asked to learn about the past history of the mysterious side, Miao Li did not find Ronald a time-honored travelogue or personal autobiography. Instead, he chose a book whose publication date was quite close to the present, and even the author was still alive. fairy tales.
If ordinary people read this fairy tale, they will only think it is an interesting book after reading it. However, from the perspective of someone like Ronald who is studying the mysterious side of history, many of the things in it become very important. Great value.
For example, this paragraph.
——[After twenty-seven days and nights, under the guidance of the gods, the warrior rushed out of the twelfth gate of the mountain castle and returned to the world again! After rescuing a young and beautiful noble girl from the mouth of a beast, the girl fell in love with the warrior and was willing to follow the warrior forward, no matter what difficulties she faced. 】
This paragraph is actually a true portrayal of the story of a mysterious person.
In a previous book, Ronald had learned that there once was a mysterious side stronghold called a mountain fortress. In the Dark Ages, that was where the most important academy system for human magicians was located, represented by twelve formidable gates.
And the last record of this place was shattered in an unprecedented battle.
Now look at what this mythology says: 'Warriors are guided by gods'.
By making some bolder associations, Ronald might have been able to guess some of the events of the Dark Ages.
But at this moment, a voice gradually approached Ronald from the balcony:
"Hey, it's "Grand's Fairy Tales.""
"Ronald, are you still interested in this kind of thing?" "
... "
In silence, Ronald looked up.
Even though he had been with the big witch for a while, he still didn't expect that the other party would do such a thing.
With a kind smile on his face, he controlled his old body.
The leader of the [Twelve Witches] school and the holder of the original code, the great witch was hugging the wall on the balcony, and then moved tremblingly towards Ronald.
The body that seemed to be blown down by a gust of wind was now using all its strength to move.
Snap——
"..."
In silence, Ronald closed the book in his hand.
Although the man was still lying on the chair without getting up, his fingers were ready.
As long as the big witch's foot slips, he will activate the power of the 'Arch Angel' and let the clothes hanging on the balcony wrap the guy back.
But Ronald's worries were in vain.
Even though she is sixty or seventy years old, the big witch's eyes are still bright and her steps have not slipped due to old age. Moving towards Ronald step by step, she came over smoothly.
"Huh——"
"This is really exciting."
After successfully jumping to Ronald's side, the big witch sat back without caring about the image, and just panted and chatted with Ronald:
"What if? The ones in front of me are those little girls or investigators. As long as they see my actions, they will rush to help." Ronald shrugged, then picked up the book and opened it again: "But I am not a little girl, nor
am
I Investigator."
"The reason why I'm here is just to cope with my work."
Hearing Ronald's nonchalant tone, the big witch smiled even more.
After taking a breath and getting up from the ground, she walked directly to Ronald, and then turned her eyes to the book in his hand.
After watching it with great interest for a while, the great witch said:
"Many contents of this fairy tale are adapted from our history."
"To be able to hold an original book at such an age, Is Ronald actually interested in these things?"
Ronald wrinkled his nose slightly.
But there was nothing shameful about it, and he didn't hide what others thought.
So, Ronald answered the other party generously:
"I need to know a lot of past history now, including things about that era." "
..."
Upon hearing this answer, the big witch's eyes lit up.
She raised her hand and waved briefly, and a substantial breeze carried a chair in Ronald's room to the balcony.
Sitting down with a natural expression, the big witch continued:
"I am quite good in this area. Don't you want to ask Mr. Ronald for advice?"
