The contents of the mission document in Chapter 413 Typhoon are very simple.
Apart from some formulaic rhetoric, the real effective content is to remind Ronald that he will have a job tonight, and it is an emergency call-up issued by Springs officials that is inconvenient to refuse.
Because of the information provided by insiders, the people from Ginkgo Biloba specially sent this reminder to Ronald.
If you don't plan to accept this mission.
So before 4:30 this afternoon, Ronald had better leave the Chamber of Commerce office in White Star District in advance.
Otherwise, wait for the recruitment order to be delivered here.
Whether it was due to the responsibilities of the Chamber of Commerce itself or Ronald's status as a Grid citizen, it was not appropriate to refuse the call at that time.
After confirming the above content, Ronald looked at Heloise seriously:
"Phyllis, what do you think?"
"There is no doubt that this is an order directly conveyed by the Greed royal family, otherwise the letter The wording would not be so certain."
Hearing Heloise's thoughts, Ronald nodded in approval:
"Yes, it is a recruitment order directly issued by the Greed royal family. In such an urgent time, and the summons is still For a holder of the original code like me, this matter may be really troublesome..." "
In that case, what are you going to eat tonight?" Ronald was only halfway through speaking when Heloise turned her attention to the raging wind and rain. Outside the window, he said in a joking tone, "I see you can pick up fresh sea fish on the street outside. Can I cook it for you?" "That's
not what I meant..."
Ronald waved his hand helplessly and used his eyes. Expressing his gratitude to Heloise for her joke, he continued his analysis: "It is our qualification to be able to have the royal family adopt such an attitude and participate in such an action. It is always right to try. Besides, ..."
Having said this, Ronald followed Heloise's gaze and looked out the window.
The windows here in the office do not face the Vis River like in the apartment. Standing on the second floor and looking outside, Ronald can clearly see the messy situation on the street, and...the number is very small, but they are still walking in the typhoon. weather man.
"The events that occur at this time have a high probability to be related to this unnatural typhoon. If the city continues to maintain this state, our own life will not be easy." Hearing what Ronald
said With emotion, Heloise turned her head and looked at the man beside her.
Steel blue eyes stared carefully for a while.
Then she suddenly came closer, stretched out her arms and hugged Ronald who was standing by the window.
"In that case, let's just wait in the office."
"Well -"
-
The actual situation is more urgent than Ginkgo Ye expected.
A quarter of an hour before 4:30, an investigator wearing a raincoat broke into this office in Baixing District. After simply identifying himself to the people in the office on the first floor, he immediately came to Ronald's office on the second floor.
Bang, bang, bang——
"Mr. Ronald, there is an urgent call here. I hope you can respond immediately."
He knocked on the door and came in, putting down the urgent document in his hand.
The investigator's movements were smooth and skillful, and you could tell at a glance that he had been doing this kind of thing all this stormy afternoon. After completing this series of actions, he did not pause or hesitate at all. He quickly saluted and turned around to leave.
"..."
"This time it's a formal order."
Watching the investigator leave the office, Heloise took the initiative to pick up the notice left by him.
"Look, before eight o'clock tonight, Baixing District, Port District and other urban areas have urgently summoned people to meet at the Bailun Pier in the Port District to take the ferry and prepare to go to sea. Please bring your books to deal with some emergencies."
"Bring the 'book' with you."
"It seems that you are right, Ronald. This typhoon did not occur naturally. Now some people can't sit still."
Ronald came over and looked at the page. The above content is no different from what Heloise said. It basically just informs people of the time and place to go there. Other than that, there is no unnecessary elaboration.
"I don't object to this kind of thing..."
He sighed softly, and Ronald immediately walked towards the first floor.
"Phyllis, I'm not sure what will happen today. I want to eat before we set off. What would you like to have?"
"Same as you!" Heloise answered immediately.
The office itself did not have the function of cooking, so Ronald simply went to the warehouse to get two bottomed beef cans, and he and Heloise settled down for today's dinner very casually.
Then, it was time to hurry up.
Expecting to ride a carriage in this kind of weather is simply a daydream. It is normal to have the smell of horse manure slapped on your face while walking on the street.
Fortunately, the port area is connected to the White Star District.
Even if you want to ensure that the two of them will not be late, an hour in advance is enough.
There were heavy clouds overhead, surrounded by howling winds and rapidly falling raindrops.
Ronald and Heloise each wore a raincoat and hurriedly walked along the wind- and rain-stricken streets. Apart from the wail of the city being devastated by the wind and rain, they could not even hear each other's footsteps in their ears.
Walking out of the street where the Chamber of Commerce office is located, Heloise stretched out her hand to wipe the rain off her face, and then she saw Ronald beside her through the rain curtain from the corner of her eye.
He and Ronald were both physically capable spellcasters, so traveling in this kind of weather was not an obstacle. But if we keep going like this, the clothes we are wearing will inevitably...
Wait!
At this moment, a question arose in the girl's mind.
——Why is this guy different from me?
Even while walking on the streets of a typhoon, Ronald's face seemed to have no traces of the raging rain. Even the areas not covered by the raincoat were still dry!
Trying to speak louder than the violent wind and rain, Heloise almost shouted and asked,
"Ronald, aren't you afraid of rain over there?"
"..."
That's bad.
Of course Ronald's excellent hearing could detect Heloise's inquiry.
But if he had to answer the girl's question, he always felt that he might be kicked by the other party.
Ever since he obtained the "Haul of Rain and Mist" from the other side, Ronald has long regarded the ability to avoid rain brought by this original book as an instinct. Such typhoon days almost subconsciously activated this ability.
However, the price for his instinct was that he ignored Heloise beside him.
How to answer this?
You can't just say that you forgot about her!
At this moment, Ronald suddenly felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
"Wait a minute, I'll give you one too!"
He also lied to Heloise in a very loud voice, and then he actively activated the rain-proof ability of "The Hammer of Rain and Mist" to help the girl next to him avoid the damage of rain.
"..."
Sensing the changes in herself, Heloise blinked blankly.
She felt like something wasn't right.
But if you think about it carefully, you can’t tell the details?
