Chapter 286: Dangerous Organization
Only two people were still talking on the balcony.
As the topic shifted back to the past, the great witch immediately demonstrated her rich knowledge reserve as the leader of the school. The various schools of thought he had seen, the various enemies he had dealt with, the various scenes he had experienced...
Although he did not tell Ronald everything in detail.
But after more than half an hour of chatting, she revealed a lot. Correspondingly, Ronald would often express some opinions from his own perspective, many of which the Great Witch found helpful.
A veteran code holder who grew up in his native country and a code holder from another world constantly exchanged what they knew and learned.
Ronald further understood the various details and precautions of original spellcasting, and the Great Witch was also quickly absorbing Ronald's views and thoughts on the current environment.
In the atmosphere of such enthusiastic conversation, time passed again.
When the conversation between the two approached an hour, there was a knock on the door of Ronald's room.
Bang bang bang -
then, a man's voice sounded from outside the door:
"Hello!"
"Mr. Ronald, can you open the door?"
Ronald immediately responded:
"Wait a moment, I'll be here soon."
" ..."
After tacitly agreeing to stop talking to the big witch, Ronald walked through the living room and opened the door.
What appeared in front of him at this moment was a young man wearing a fisherman's hat on his head, who was also holding a large paper bag in his hand.
——It’s the investigator who just left the river embankment.
Ronald immediately realized the identity of the other party.
At the same time, the young man was also confirming Ronald's identity in his own way.
A few breaths passed, and after the investigator confirmed that the Ronald in front of him was not an illusion, and that he was not a mentally disturbed human being affected by magic, he took the initiative to hand over the paper bag in his hand.
"Mr. Ronald, this is the tea specially sent from us."
"You and Ms. Teresa can taste it at your leisure."
Taking the paper bag handed by the other party, Ronald nodded lightly and said :
"I have to make a special trip for this kind of thing."
"Thank you for your hard work."
"It's nothing." Hearing Ronald's thanks, the young investigator smiled and shook his head, looking through Ronald After looking back and confirming that the big witch was not here, he lowered his voice and said to Ronald, "Mr. Ronald, you'd better be careful and ensure that we can observe your actual situation." After that
, In the future, the investigator seemed worried that his actions would be too conspicuous.
Without waiting for Ronald to answer, he turned around and walked down the stairs.
"..."
Actually, the big witch is quite easy to get along with.
As long as he masters the right way to communicate with her...
Watching the investigator's figure disappear at the top of the stairs, Ronald shook his head gently, closed the door and walked back to the living room.
Putting the paper bag on his table, he immediately opened his mouth and asked in the direction of the balcony:
"Ms. Teresa, a friend below brought some tea."
"Want to have a taste?"
"..."
Phew——
As soon as Ronald finished speaking, a gentle breeze blew over from the balcony.
——This is the big witch casting a spell.
What is this for? Could it be that this original code holder plans to make tea by himself?
Just when Ronald was thinking about this, what actually appeared was different from what he imagined. Under the exquisite control of the great witch, this airflow rolled up the paper bag containing the tea leaves, and then dragged it directly to the balcony.
Why...eating alone?
Ronald stretched out his hand and scratched his hair, and then walked towards the balcony.
Still sitting on the chair she moved over, the big witch was looking at Ronald walking towards the balcony with a smile.
Then, the old magician spoke:
"They came just in time."
"Ronald, you can take a look at this. Although there are some differences from when I was in the Springs, there are still some differences in general. Don't overlap."
As she said this, the big witch turned the paper bag over and poured all the tea leaves on the small tea table on the balcony.
Then, she raised the paper bag and shined it into the sunshine outside the house.
At the same time, he pointed to the empty bottom of the paper bag in his hand.
Following the direction pointed by the big witch, Ronald immediately saw a somewhat complicated pattern on the bottom of the paper bag. Because the handwriting was very shallow, it would be difficult to see its existence unless it was illuminated by light.
Seeing that Ronald discovered what she pointed out, the big witch immediately explained:
"You saw it."
"This is an eavesdropping technique that investigators like to use. I have fallen into their trap before, and now It seems that I miss it a lot."
While explaining, the big witch did not hesitate in her movements.
While playing with the paper bag, she had used her magic power to seal the runes of the eavesdropping spell. Putting the paper bag on the edge of the table, she began to sweep all the tea leaves back into the bag bit by bit.
Watching the big witch's movements, Ronald showed an understanding expression.
Then he sat back on his recliner.
Listening to the rustling sound of the big witch collecting tea leaves next to her.
Ronald thought for a moment, and then asked the question that concerned him most:
"Ms. Teresa, I have a question."
The great witch maintained her movements and nodded gently:
"Please tell me."
Ronald then continued:
"I have recently been inquiring about an organization called the [Nine Rings Secret Society]. Do you know anything related to it?" "...
"
Although it was very short.
But Ronald did notice:
the big witch paused slightly when she was putting away the tea leaves.
Just seeing this action, Ronald confirmed that this old magician did know something!
This kind of pause is because the other person is thinking about whether to answer his question!
Ronald was familiar with the skills of talking to people, so he followed up by asking:
"Isn't it convenient to talk about this?"
This question happened to be stuck at the time when the great witch was still thinking.
Following Ronald's seemingly conceding question, the big witch shook her head:
"Not really..."
"But Ronald, why do you ask about this?"
"Does it mean that you were also invited by them?"
"That's right." Ronald admitted generously and continued to explain. , "In fact, I was not only invited, but I also fought with their people. Due to various considerations, I now need to know more about this organization." Hearing Ronald's answer, the big witch smiled
slightly Jianshou:
"That's right..."
There was not much surprise on her face, but she seemed to understand somewhat about what Ronald told her.
A flick of the finger.
The big witch simply controlled the airflow and put all the remaining tea leaves back into the paper bag at once.
After packing this up, she said in a serious tone:
"Ronald, [Nine Rings Secret Society] is a very dangerous organization." "
For safety reasons, I suggest you not to have any contact with them in the future. ”
