Chapter 437 The new invitation
time enters July.
The springs where Ronald currently lives are about to enter the hottest time of the year. However, thanks to the geographical location at a higher latitude, the summer here is not as unbearably hot as in Ronald's hometown.
And during this time.
Ronald's life has also undergone earth-shaking changes.
The speed at which the mysterious side spreads information is quite fast.
On the day he returned to Springs, word of Ronald's great achievements on the overseas islands spread from the city. Various negotiation activities and interpersonal interactions occupied Ronald almost all day long.
Even the Investigation Bureau, which originally had a high profile, withdrew the surveillance personnel originally responsible for Ronald the next day, and instead sent a young and beautiful girl investigator to his side. Work under him in name.
Regarding the investigation bureau's behavior...
Ronald honestly couldn't come up with any good response plan.
Probably because the relationship between him and Heloise was too close, the Bureau of Investigation directly identified him as a person who likes women, so they took such specific measures to please her.
But Ronald knew his true identity.
Although "The Divine Hammer of Rain and Mist" is powerful beyond common sense, as long as it doesn't rain, it almost doesn't exist.
The real power imbalance and the treatment we are receiving now will become a hidden danger sooner or later.
Events in Springs afterwards.
Ronald had to be more cautious than before in order to avoid the trouble that would follow.
By the way, the [Nine Precepts Secret Meeting], which has been disappearing for a long time, has made some noise recently. They have been designated as a terrorist organization by the Springs and are directly responsible for the cause of the typhoon.
In other words, this is a desperate attempt by a magician who is trying to change the world to change the world. The existence that was 'sent' back to the twisted space by Ronald that day was most likely the god created by the old mysterious side mentioned in the records.
It can only be said that by chance, Ronald once again ruined the plan of the "Nine Rings Secret Society".
By now, the conflict between the two parties has become absolutely irreconcilable.
Thinking about these things in his mind, Ronald turned his head and looked at the sky in boredom.
After the typhoon ended, the city returned to its original appearance.
What did this incident look like to ordinary people who didn't know anything about it?
"..."
"Ronald, do you want to go to Sir Phelps's invitation?"
At 4:30 in the afternoon, Heloise walked into the office saying hello and placed an invitation letter with gold edges. in front of Ronald, and then spread out the pages with smooth movements.
"This invitation is from this knight who wants to get acquainted with the young heroes in Springs City, so I hope you can attend this banquet hosted by him." "Turn it down for me."
Rona De immediately shook his head in refusal.
"I've been doing enough socializing recently, so let me have a good rest."
Ronald said this from the bottom of his heart.
For someone like him who doesn't like crowded scenes and socializing with others, this kind of continuous social activities that appear in front of him, except for the short-term happiness during meals, will only bring torture.
Even without participating, Ronald could guess what the scene would be like.
Anyone who knows something about the mysterious side will immediately flock to him and flatter him. Others who don't know about the mysterious side will guess the situation by themselves, and then put on a fake smile to look familiar.
A banquet that might have been a very ordinary one.
Soon, under this change, it will be an event that has Ronald as the protagonist.
This is exactly what he least wants to encounter.
At several banquets and dances in the past, he would hide in a corner and feel upset. Is it okay
to be the protagonist every day like this ? The trouble caused by showing too much strength is sometimes really annoying, but it is not easy to deal with. Now throughout the Springs. Except for the Countess, who has become a personal friend, Ronald doesn't want to accept some random social invitations at all. This really doesn't fit his character. At this moment, listening to the conversation between Ronald and Heloise. Always smiling, the girl investigator sitting in the corner of the office spoke: "Mr. Ronald, this Sir Phelps is one of the representatives of the new aristocrats in Springs. He has considerable financial resources and strength. That's right. If you have enough time, I suggest you make some basic contact with him, at least don't refuse him the first time." The person who spoke was naturally the girl sent by the Investigation Bureau. ——Elaine Crawford as an investigator who can be entrusted with important tasks by the Bureau of Investigation. Elaine did not come up to seduce Ronald in a vulgar way. Instead, she did her job like a real assistant and only provided advice to Ronald on some key issues. He speaks and acts in a relaxed and measured manner, does not pry into secrets excessively and is content with his responsibilities. Such a cautious and appropriate work assistant makes it difficult for even Heloise to find out what's wrong with her. Currently, she has no choice but to passively accept the existence of this investigator. Now I am facing another kind reminder from Elaine. Ronald heard what the other party meant and had no choice but to put on a helpless expression: "Okay, okay, I understand. I will go to this banquet." In fact, the girl investigator's advice was very effective. And it also captured the issues that Ronald was more concerned about. Springs is a city where all forces converge and the competition for interests is extremely complex. Around Ronald, a powerful spellcaster who suddenly appeared in Springs, the old aristocratic forces and the new aristocratic forces are fighting openly and secretly, and all kinds of troublesome things will happen to him without even thinking about it. Come. In the midst of such a storm of contention. Ronald's original intention was to be a fence-sitter. On the one hand, he now has a prosperous life and does not have to work hard for something of little significance. On the other hand... neither the new aristocrats with abundant financial resources nor the old aristocrats with deep-rooted power are the ones Ronald wants to work for. However, just some time ago, Ronald happened to receive an invitation from an old nobleman to attend a banquet organized by them. Elaine's suggestion also hinted that this was an opportunity for Ronald.
A prominent figure in the new aristocracy came out to invite him, so when Ronald was invited to the banquet, he could naturally express his views at the banquet, thus better maintaining his neutral attitude.
In this case, this banquet will naturally be difficult to avoid.
