Chapter 358 Patricia’s reception room
is in the process of entertaining Ronald.
The maid has no shortcomings in her professional skills.
The posture when pouring tea and water, the tone of asking Ronald's needs, and even the actions of standing in the room...
According to Ronald's understanding, they are all in line with the etiquette requirements of this world.
But other than that.
Other things seem more boring.
Although she will not ignore any of Ronald's questions, the maid will not do anything extra except basic services. She stayed quietly in the room, staring at Ronald like this, as if she was on guard against what Ronald might do.
"..."
Patricia's maid looked at her like this.
Ronald can probably guess the other party's psychological activities.
So while drinking the tea in front of him, he simply looked around at the room he was in leisurely.
According to the maid's explanation.
This is Patricia's reception room.
There are two sofas in a space of about forty square meters, with a low table in the middle for tea. In addition, there are two potted plants placed near the window in this living room, and there are no other decorative items.
Simple, clean and rustic.
The first impression given by Patricia is quite similar.
Looking through the open window, Ronald could vaguely hear the sound of weapons clashing downstairs. It was probably the arena that Patricia just mentioned, a private training place belonging to the Niklaus family.
Listening to the voice, Ronald asked thoughtfully:
"As for Patricia, does she usually train?"
The maid put on a proud look on her face:
"Of course! "
Miss, she is our strongest swordsman!"
"She spends almost half of her time honing and improving her swordsmanship without social activities or study courses. This kind of effort is not comparable to those who are content with the status quo!" "
Seeing the maid's proud look and tone, Ronald naturally smiled and nodded:
"As expected of her..."
In fact, it was indeed the case.
Among the various people Ronald has met since time travel, if we don't talk about other aspects, just talk about combat skills.
Patricia should be the strongest one.
That kind of lightning-fast fighting method and perfect swordsmanship are definitely not something that an ordinary person can handle after gaining the ability to cast spells.
In this atmosphere of one or two conversations every once in a while.
Twenty minutes passed and Ronald also heard footsteps coming from outside the living room.
Soon, Patricia opened the door and walked in.
"Ronald, I've kept you waiting for a long time."
"..."
How should I put it...
among the various girls Ronald had met, it took twenty minutes to take a shower and change clothes, and then she could appear in front of him.
Patricia is definitely the first.
But even though the matter was done in such a hurry, the girl in front of him could not see any haste or flaw in appearance.
Her platinum hair was still tied back.
But the clothes she was wearing had been changed into a long, loose skirt.
After saying hello and sitting on the sofa opposite Ronald, Patricia waved to the maid:
"Marita, please go out first."
"Remember to tell other people at home not to disturb you. My friend and I."
"Yes, miss."
With one last glance at Ronald, the maid left the reception room and gently closed the door.
Wait until there are only two people in the house: himself and Ronald.
Patricia then said apologetically:
"Ronald, I know the character of Frey's child very well, and I can probably guess what he did. As the child's sister, I am really sorry. "
"It's nothing." Ronald smiled and shook his head, indicating that Patricia didn't need to care about it, "That's what young boys are like, not to mention you are his beloved sister." "Well...
"
Looking at Ronald's serious reply, Patricia nodded slightly, and then asked curiously:
"But I actually still have a lot of questions about what happened before." "
If it's convenient, can you tell me "?"
Ronald replied generously:
"Things are actually a bit complicated."
"The beginning of everything has to start with the incident in Burrenwich..."
Next, Ronald told Patrice Ya's general story.
Except for some potentially dangerous information and Heloise's complicated identity background, he basically didn't deliberately hide anything.
And when Patricia heard the news that the original code holder died.
This swordsman with superb swordsmanship could not help but express a hint of emotion.
"It actually happened like this..."
"Ronald, you have been through a lot."
Ronald shrugged with a wry smile, and the expression on his face gradually became serious:
"Honestly."
" At first, I didn't expect these things to happen." "
And I also have a very confusing question about the [Nine Rings Secret Meeting]."
Patricia took a sip of tea and quickly realized that there was something wrong with the whole thing. A conflicting point:
"Are you talking about the invitation letter you first received?"
"That's right." Confirming Patricia's guess, Ronald continued, "If everyone in this organization works together, I shouldn't have received that coded letter in the first place."
"So I doubt whether there are some conflicts within this organization." "
..."
Listening to Ronald's words, Patricia also frowned.
But after she gently put down the tea cup in her hand, the girl started to comfort Ronald:
"Ronald, I think you might not think about it in this aspect." "
[Nine Rings Secret Society] is a big organization after all. It is easy for their invitations to have loopholes, and you may just meet it."
"..."
"Thanks for the comfort."
Of course, Ronald also saw what Patricia meant.
After nodding his thanks, he continued to reply seriously:
"I have thought about what you said, but after all, he is a dangerous opponent, so it is better for me to deal with him seriously."
Patricia replied in agreement:
" Yes."
"It's always right to be more cautious."
Bang, bang, bang—
just as the two were being polite to each other, the door of the reception room was knocked politely three times.
Immediately, the maid who had left before asked outside the door:
"Miss, dinner is ready."
"Do you want to come down to dine?"
"..."
"You go down first, we will come right away!" Hearing the door After hearing the call from outside, Patricia immediately stood up from the sofa, and then made a gesture that Ronald had never seen before, but it was obviously an invitation.
"Ronald, do you mind having dinner with me?"
Ronald also smiled and stood up, then responded:
"Then I'll be disrespectful."
