Chapter 380 On the way home
"Mr. Ronald, I'm so sorry for being so late..."
"Will you just take our carriage back?"
"..."
"The carriage is unnecessary."
"I also gained a lot today, I wanted to take a walk on the way back."
"..."
An hour later, with a complex expression, Ronald greeted the old butler Al with a few polite words, and then left the manor where Leticia lived alone.
Weiwei nodded to the investigators around him.
As Ronald walked away from here, his mind was still thinking about what had just happened.
The protective ability of [Guardian Angel] is really useful.
When the Countess used her spell to prepare something, she immediately eliminated the hidden danger completely.
It's a pity that they were excluded at the same time.
And the environment Ronald and Leticia were in at that time.
But after all, she was a well-informed countess. After the initial embarrassment, before Ronald even came up with his prepared words, Leticia took the initiative to explain that her spells were just tricks to arouse people's emotions.
In fact, even if they are unprepared, the affected person will not be harmed to any extent.
Regarding this statement...
Ronald expressed understanding on the surface, but in fact he could only express regret whether he believed it or not.
And there was such a short interlude.
Leticia probably really had no interest in causing further trouble, so she simply changed her attitude and had some serious exchanges of knowledge on the mysterious side with Ronald.
The conversation lasted just over half an hour.
Both Leticia and Ronald gained a new understanding of the person in front of them.
Although her private life is not very discreet, Leticia is based at the top of a kingdom's social structure, and her knowledge and understanding of spellcasters is very unique.
From the perspective of the ruling class.
When she looks at people on the mysterious side, she does not deal with them with the perspective of 'this person is very strong', but with the perspective of 'what will be the consequences of this person appearing here'.
Although the two views overlap in concept to a certain extent.
But in actual operation, the reactions and decisions brought about are absolutely completely different.
Through this trial and understanding.
Ronald can be regarded as realizing some of the thoughts of the top society in this world.
Looking back at Leticia, the countess also had a great degree of change in Ronald's senses.
For her, she might just be happy to see Ronald at first.
However, after a few words of chatting, Ronald, who possesses the great witch's careful communication, earth knowledge reserves, [Scroll Research Society] materials, and some documents from the [Ginkgo Business Alliance] and the Investigation Bureau, gave it to her directly. A new understanding that has never been seen before.
In Leticia's experience.
She often dealt with the core members of a certain school of thought, or the death warrior organizations that swore allegiance to the royal family and had a rich history.
Ronald is a holder of the original code with complex and diverse knowledge.
It directly caused a fundamental change in her attitude.
The man in front of her cannot be treated as an ordinary 'prey'. This is a rare resource that she needs to win over seriously and, if possible, bring it back to the country to work for her!
So after correcting your attitude.
Leticia didn't want to be annoyed by some details.
After talking for more than half an hour, Leticia ordered the housekeeper Al to send Ronald off in a respectful manner.
But Ronald himself really wanted to take a walk.
That's why I declined the other party's kindness.
"..."
Leaving the organ area against the night sky.
As Ronald walked leisurely towards home, he was still preparing his attitude when he came into contact with Leticia in his mind.
Through tonight’s exchange.
The 'honey trap' formulated before can basically be completely abandoned.
Using your own knowledge reserves and brains to show your value is the best choice to establish a good relationship with this countess.
The ride was silent.
Then, just after Ronald organized his thoughts, he arrived at the river bank area.
His deep gray pupils shrank slightly.
"Hmm..."
Ronald did not turn off the investigation of the power of 'Rage' along the way.
So at this moment, he clearly felt that someone in the distance was spying on him with full murderous intent.
So clear and straightforward, and then there was a very sudden hostility.
I really haven’t met Ronald in some days.
Are the people from the [Nine Rings Secret Society] impatient and planning to take action, or are there some cult warlocks who haven't heard of the news for a long time, or maybe even the [Original Witch Coven]'s revenge?
There was a subtle expression on his face.
Ronald snapped his fingers lightly and then kept his walking route unchanged.
Against ordinary mysterious spellcasters, he can only say that he can catch them with ease.
At this moment, he was approaching the opponent with a disguised expression, just to avoid letting the enemy escape as much as possible.
Quiet night.
On the dark street.
As Ronald walked home, he kept getting closer to the enemy who ambushed him.
However, it wasn't until the two of them came to the closest position.
The ambusher still didn't take action.
Finally, until the moment when the two people's positions were once again about a hundred meters apart.
The ambushers are on the move!
The spell that had been ready for use was attached to a flying knife. He aimed at the undefendable position behind Ronald, then gathered all his strength and threw the flying knife in his hand.
Whoosh -
the sharp cold blade pierced the air.
It flew straight towards Ronald's heart.
However, what followed immediately was a scene that made the assassin unbelievable.
His back was clearly facing the position of the flying knife, and the attack speed he received was extremely fast!
But in less than a second!
His assassination target tonight suddenly turned around, then stretched out two fingers to poke at it.
Snap -
there is almost no thrilling expression on the face.
The movements are also natural and gentle.
Ronald simply stretched out two fingers and firmly clamped the flying knife thrown by the assassin with all his strength.
A faint white light clings to the skin of the fingers.
The spells cast on the surface of the flying knife had no effect at all.
...
Is this a mission goal that I can handle?
The doubtful emotion just appeared in the assassin's mind, and then was completely driven away by the only thought.
run!
Run now!
Otherwise, you will die today!
Out of his professional instinct, the assassin turned around and planned to escape immediately.
Unfortunately, escaping is also a delusion.
Before the first step towards survival had even hit the ground, an irresistible pulling force came upon him.
The body that was obviously leaning forward paused in the air, and then instantly reversed its angle.
Just like a fisherman retrieving a thrown bait, he immediately jumped into the air and galloped straight in the direction of Ronald.
Snap -
a soft sound, and the assassin sat down on the street floor.
He raised his head slightly and immediately saw Ronald's indifferent expression as he looked down at him from above.
Then the assassin saw clearly.
The man with gray pupils in front of him spoke:
"Tell me, who asked you to come?"
