Chapter 443: Is the alchemy symbol
just dead?
Seeing the cult warlock lying on the ground vomiting blood, Ronald was really dumbfounded.
Could it be that all the cult warlocks in this world have problems in their minds? He obviously had the ability to protect his senior management and control his subordinates from revealing information, but in the end, he was unprepared for the plan in action.
This is a trap deliberately set by the other party.
Or is it that the original scripture that gave birth to the magic system of the cult warlock is a type with strict restrictions like "Inferno"?
"..."
Seeing that Ronald had no problem, Elaine raised her leg and kicked the cult warlock beneath her. After confirming that this guy's death was a foregone conclusion, she tied up the remaining three cult warlocks.
"Mr. Ronald, since this is the case, I will leave work early today. If there is anything else, we can talk about it tomorrow morning." "
Have a nice trip."
The two said goodbye to each other, and Elaine quickly disappeared into the basement.
The only ones left here at this time are Ronald, Heloise, and Sir Phelps's men.
"Mr. Ronald, if there's no problem, I'll go up too?"
"We'll leave later."
Finally, after greeting the man again, Ronald left with Heloise.
After encountering such a thing at the banquet, it would be inappropriate to continue the banquet. Simply saying goodbye to Sir Phelps, Ronald would have ended his mission to attend the banquet tonight.
The two leave Sir Phelps' mansion.
It's late at night outside.
Compared with the situation when Ronald was chasing the cult warlock, only a few people could be seen on the street now. The dark night seemed to remind Ronald: There will definitely not be a quiet night in Springs today. .
In fact, from the moment he entered Springs, Ronald could clearly feel the changes taking place in the city.
From the comfortable pace of life at the beginning, now after a while, guys like the [Nine Rings Secret Society], [Original Witch Coven], [Cult Warlocks] and the like will show up.
Almost the same as Heloise reminded her before.
The city is entering an increasingly dangerous state.
Thinking of this, Ronald, who was walking on the street, looked at Heloise beside him. The young girl was walking with him at the moment, and the two of them held hands clasped in an intimate manner. In the current environment of Springs, this is a rare partner that can be trusted.
"Huh?"
Ronald's slight turning of his head seemed to alarm Heloise.
The girl immediately turned her eyes to look at Ronald, and a smile appeared on her beautiful face. After walking out for a few more steps, Heloise turned her gaze back to the front, and then said softly:
"Ronald, I know a little bit about the red clothes that guy mentioned just now." "
According to those who have brain problems, According to the guy, in their organization, only those who have directly communicated with the so-called great being and have strong magic skills can get this title." Ronald suddenly became interested: "What do you think about this
organization
? We know the internal structure very well."
Heloise simply shook her head and denied:
"I only know the reasons for the work, that's all. Their organization is actually quite simple. It is divided into four categories: priests, red clothes, pilgrims, and believers. Level, there are several other independent positions, nothing special."
"Do you think their purpose... no, how credible do you think the things that guy recruited before are?" Ronald continued to ask.
"Don't believe it." Heloise shook her head with certainty. "Even if Elaine is strong enough, how can you believe what a madman says? Most of the things these cult warlocks believe in are different from normal people. ."
"That's true..."
"Ronald, you can rest assured. Although the people in the Investigation Bureau may be a little weak in your opinion, they are undoubtedly the most powerful in Greed and even in the world today. The mysterious side organization, they will definitely be able to protect this city."
"..."
Ronald and Heloise did not go to call a taxi.
They held hands and talked about what happened tonight until the stars were overhead, and then they returned to their apartment in the Riverside District.
As soon as the two entered the door, Heloise rushed into the bathroom impatiently.
Along with the sound of the shower working, Heloise's dissatisfied complaints came from the crack of the open door:
"Ronald, this kind of banquet is a good process." "
It's just that after it's over, I always feel tired all over the body. Feeling uncomfortable, do you want to come and take a shower too?"
"..."
"I'll talk about it later, shall I?"
He said perfunctorily to Heloise. Ronald took off his coat and sat on his desk, starting to think in his mind. What happened today.
Just like Heloise said.
For them, this matter should come to an end tonight, and the Investigation Bureau will naturally handle all related issues.
But now that he was back home, he felt vaguely that something was wrong.
The cult warlock suddenly appeared to cause such an incident. Is the real purpose to 'save' the citizens of Springs?
Did you miss some key clues?
Since there were still doubts in his mind, Ronald naturally wanted to try to solve them.
So with a wave of one hand, he used magic to pull the map of Springs on the bookshelf nearby. While unfolding the map, which was drawn with ordinary techniques, Ronald began to mark it with a pen.
"The Lorbaugh Mansion in the White Star District, the Vail University Canteen in the Riverside District, the Burundt House at 24 Oyer Street in the Organ District, the Border District..." It didn't take long for fifteen teams of
cult warlocks to reach their targets. Just decorate it.
According to the common sense of some rituals on the mysterious side, Ronald tried to connect these locations.
So, he got a somewhat interesting figure.
At the central intersection of a horizontal number '8', an upward vertical line is derived. Two horizontal bars, one long and one short, are placed at the other end of the vertical line near the end.
"This... is sulfur?"
Ronald used to like reading.
If this symbol were to be applied to Earth's culture, then he felt that it would most likely mean 'sulfur' in the alchemical symbol.
This figure is symmetrical on the left and right on the map. At first glance, it seems that it is a specially arranged arrangement rather than a random arrangement of locations. Could it be that these cult warlocks are toying with something related to sulfur?

just as Ronald continued to think, Heloise came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, taking care of her silky hair carefully. She chatted with Ronald at the same time:
"Ronald, this hot weather is really annoying. The only benefit it brings is that the tap water in the city is not so cold, and it even boils the bath water faster." "Boiling water
... "
Heloise's words were just casual chatting, but it made Ronald murmur and think. Vaguely, he seemed to have grasped some small possibility.
