The first draft of the research report on Chapter 356: Going out to visit the 'star' has not yet been completed.
Overall, it can only be said that it has a prototype.
Silently keeping this information in mind, Ronald poured some lamp oil on it, then lit a match and threw the report into the fireplace to be burned.
Pull up a chair and sit in front of the fire.
Ronald stared quietly at the page that was turning into ashes. He didn't turn around and return to the bedroom until it was completely ashes.
"..."
"Dark Ages..."
Taking off his coat and lying on the bed, Ronald put his head on his hands and began to think about what he had gained from this trip.
From any point of view, the information he learned today was too shocking.
The purpose of [Nine Rings Secret Society] is to restore the dark age and restore the mysterious side to its past powerful abilities and status.
Then the interesting thing comes.
Queen Danterian, the ruler of Greed, is also a powerful magic caster on the mysterious side. Even when Ronald heard the queen's name several times, almost everyone thought it was an invincible monster. '.
As the strongest class on the mysterious side.
The queen of Danterian should be able to gain huge benefits from the actions of the [Nine Rings Secret Society].
But what about reality?
The [Nine Rings Secret Society] is afraid of this queen, so they only dare to carry out activities in Greed secretly.
This high probability means that the ruler of this country is unwilling to see this happen out of some principle?
For the stability of the country?
For your own absolute dominance?
In order to continue to stabilize the interest structure of today's society?
Or... does Her Majesty the Queen not want to see the world repeat the same mistakes?
The actions of [Nine Rings Secret Society].
It can be said that it is completely driven by self-interest.
But as the ruler of the country, the queen will not only care about the power in front of her.
And the dark ages.
The records of the Investigation Bureau and the Scroll Research Society, the conversations of the Great Witch, and various people and objects that Ronald himself came into contact with all gave him a feeling that human life was like a waste in the dark ages.
That kind of world...
it's better not to come here...
After sorting out these things in his mind, Ronald's thoughts gradually came to aspects about himself, or about the identity of Ronald Adler.
When I first came into contact with the Investigation Bureau, the reaction from the other party was basically 'an ordinary country noble', 'an ordinary person with the ability to cast spells', and 'a friend of the big star Arida'.
But look at the reaction of the [Nine Rings Secret Meeting].
No matter how much he thought about it, Ronald felt that the original owner of the body he traveled through must have some kind of hidden information.
In fact, it’s not just the [Nine Precepts Secret Meeting].
The attitude of the great witch Teresa and the church nuns towards me in [Twelve Witches]
is right!
The most suspicious one is Claudia!
Her Royal Highness, the first princess of this country, Greed!
If you think about it carefully, there were a lot of details that could be delved into when they first met.
Although I felt good about myself at first.
After hearing Ronald introduce his name, Claudia completely changed her attitude towards him.
Does this mean Claudia as a royal.
She knew some important clues about her identity, so why was she traveling with her that night?
"This..."
"Maybe you can ask Heloise..."
Thinking about it.
Ronald finally set his target on Heloise.
This friend who has experienced many events with him has accompanied him through the most uncomfortable period at the beginning of time travel. With excellent information acquisition capabilities, he is worthy of trust on this issue.
Thinking like this, Ronald gradually gave up thinking and fell asleep.
Although his physical fitness is now ridiculously strong, a certain degree of rest can be a good way to soothe his mind.
This is still very necessary.
————
At the end of noon, Ronald slowly opened his eyes.
Leaving the bedroom and walking to the living room, he lazily took out his wallet and sorted out his cash and property.
The afternoon arrived.
He still has a lot of things to do.
Try to find and buy the meteorites needed for the "Almagest" spell, and also go to the Gift Street to buy a gift.
The purpose of the former naturally needs no explanation.
As for the latter...
After being in Springs for such a long time, it was time for Ronald to visit Patricia.
Whether it was a previous invitation or the fact that the other party came to visit yesterday and I was not there.
Ronald wanted to make this trip, both emotionally and logically.
Stand in front of the mirror and tidy up your appearance.
Ronald then opened the door and left.
It's a coincidence.
When Ronald goes out.
Living on the second floor of the apartment, Mr. Aito, who had welcomed Ronald in, happened to be going out, so the other party greeted him with a smile: "
Mr. Ronald, are you going out?"
Ronald nodded in response:
"Yes, we are going today. Going out to visit friends."
At this point, Ronald paused and said,
"By the way, Mr. Aito."
"Here in the Springs, what kind of gifts are generally more popular?"
and Ronald Go down the spiral staircase one after the other.
While thinking about it, Ai Tuo replied generously:
"Normally speaking, it doesn't matter. Just bring something that the other person likes when you visit for the first time. Unless it is a more serious and important occasion, then a pair of specially made cufflinks will It's a very nice gift."
"..."
Go visit Patricia by yourself.
This behavior shouldn’t be particularly serious, right?
Seeing that Ronald was silent, Ai Tuo had already arrived at the door of the apartment to straighten his hat, and then stopped to wait for Ronald to ask: "
So... is the other party a woman?"
Ronald was also very surprised. simply.
He nodded and started to explain:
"Yes, I wonder if you know the surname Niklaus?"
"Niklaus?"
Hearing this last name from Ronald, Aito stood at the door and was stunned.
"Are you talking about the great nobleman Niklaus?"
"The Niklaus who was given the surname 'Ge' by the kingdom, and can then add this word to his name?"
"..."
In the springs, Patrice The reputation of the Ya family is really loud.
Even if Ai Tuo is an ordinary person who has never been involved in the mysterious side, he can react immediately when he hears the last name.
Is this the reputation of a long-established aristocrat...
He is respected by many people in Burrenwich, and even more so in Springs.
With emotion in his heart, Ronald immediately nodded to confirm:
"Yes, that's the Nicklaus family."
Looking at Ronald's expression, the surprise on Ai Tuo's face gradually calmed down.
With a subtle smile, he shook his head and replied:
"For ordinary nobles, just bring an expensive gift."
"But if it is the Platinum Family..."
"Based on what I heard, Maybe it would be more appropriate to look at their own preferences?"
