Chapter 316 Leading the way:
Ronald entered [Vis University] just like he did at work in the past.
Walking slowly towards the library.
But when he came to the door of the library, there was a man sitting on a bench beside the road leading to the library, which attracted his attention.
——It's Hughes.
"..."
Looking at the other party's figure, Ronald raised his eyebrows.
He was a little concerned about the scene in front of him.
As a spell caster of the [Scroll Research Society], there is no reason for Hughes to appear here at this time.
He was sitting on the bench outside the library at noon. He was not a student who found some free time during the noon hour and then came out to take some time to rest.
This... isn't he just waiting for me?
So when Ronald's steps slowed down a little, and he was thinking about whether to go up and say hello.
Hughes saw Ronald coming from a distance.
The spellcaster from the [Scroll Research Society] stood up on his own initiative and walked directly towards Ronald.
"Ronald, you're here."
Ronald also greeted:
"Yes, Mr. Hughes, why are you sitting outside?"
"You're not waiting for me, are you?"
"That's not true. ." Hughes shook his head in denial, and then continued, "But since you are here, it is just right." "
I have already heard Mr. Oppenheim tell you the specific things." "
But because there is an extra person in the seminar. This new original book, he has been busy with some related matters recently, so he may not be able to spare time for your affairs today."
Ronald's expression froze.
His impatience seemed to result in his trip being in vain.
I received the letter yesterday and came today. Is it still a bit sudden?
"Is that so..."
"It seems that I came at the wrong time today."
Ronald smiled coquettishly at Hughes, said hello and planned to leave.
However, behind him, Hughes suddenly spoke:
"Wait, Ronald!"
"If you don't mind, maybe I can take you here today."
"I still have quite a lot of time these days. , and should also have this qualification."
While speaking, Hughes always had a wry smile on his face.
Ronald also understood what this expression meant.
Hughes' current situation must not be good.
Although he is a dominant research leader, the presence of a guy like Hal among his researchers would cause big trouble. Now that Hal himself has died in the original trial, Hughes, as the leader, will naturally be in trouble. In an organization of the nature of the [Scroll Research Society], he is afraid of running into obstacles everywhere recently.
Normally, Hughes would never be like this, but now he is obviously unable to work as smoothly as usual, so in this case, it is really no problem for him to lead Ronald.
So Ronald bowed slightly:
"In that case, I'll trouble you today."
Hughes then turned around and walked towards the library, and responded to Ronald at the same time:
"Then come with me."
"Because things are relatively complicated. It's important, let's go inside first to register and notify."
Following in the footsteps of Hughes, Ronald naturally had no objections.
There were hardly many students in the library at noon. They went directly to the second floor to fill out the forms, and then completed the procedures with the help of [Scroll Research Association] staff.
Although Hughes is in a bad situation recently, his real identity has not changed at all.
All formalities were handled with ease.
When they saw the staff starting to operate the telegraph machine, Hughes and Ronald walked out together.
As he left the library and headed outside [Weiss University], the middle-aged man chatted and sighed: "
This era is really different from before."
"I remember when I first came here, this kind of Everything must be approved in advance, and then the specific implementation plan must be determined through negotiation and an agreed time." "
Now with the new machine, as long as you complete the advance application, you can contact the other party at any time within the time limit. No matter what time passes, You can choose freely."
"What an amazing invention..."
Ronald quite agreed with Hughes:
"With the advancement of science and technology, people's lives will inevitably take a more convenient path in the future." "
Can Having such technology is a good thing for everyone."
Hearing Ronald's affirmative tone, Hughes smiled in agreement.
But then, a hint of melancholy appeared on his face:
"It's good for everyone..."
"Ronald, as a person who holds books, do you think this matter is also the same for us? "
Of course." Ronald replied without hesitation, "For something like this that concerns the entire human society, you can't just focus on a specific group of people. Overall, this must be a good thing!" "
... "
Xius's eyes were a little complicated, and then he fell into silence.
He didn't expect Ronald, the holder of the original code, to say such a thing.
Compared to a magician on the mysterious side...
this view is more like the answer of a human in ordinary society.
In silence, the two walked out of [Vice University] together, and then came to the street outside the school. On the
way, Hughes took a look at Ronald's clothes and commented that Ronald's dress aesthetic was very good.
Probably because of his role as the person responsible for guiding Ronald.
This time Yusius stopped a carriage, and they rode in together.
After sitting in the carriage, Ronald couldn't help but ask:
"Mr. Hughes, where is our destination this time?"
Upon hearing this question, Hughes showed a meaningful expression on his face:
" Ronald, the place we are going to this time is the place where you and I both serve." "
Only in that kind of position can such an important thing be properly kept."
"You understand. "?"
"..."
Without saying a word, Ronald nodded simply.
Of course he knew what Hughes was talking about.
The only one they work for together is Queen Danterian.
The true ruler of Greed.
Sure enough, the value of prophecy spells is unquestionable, whether for individuals or other situations.
Even the queen who was described as a 'monster' by Heloise was also very cautious about the use of this kind of thing.
While Ronald nodded in confirmation, Hughes also shouted to the driver driving the carriage:
"Sir, let's go to No. 47 Crown Road, [Brussela]."
"Okay-"
Hearing Following Hughes's instructions, the coachman immediately drove the carriage forward.
As for Ronald, who was sitting in the carriage, his thoughts at this moment also shifted to the destination that Hughes just mentioned.
He also knew about the shop named [Brusella].
While living in Springs, Ronald occasionally heard the name of the store from people around him.
It was the largest jewelry store in Springs.
Of course, it is run in the name of the royal family.
The kind of jewelry store where ladies and gentlemen alike are proud to have outstanding jewelry.
