Chapter 492: Bought Breakfast
Claudia must have taken a [lie detector].
Although the relationship between the two was pretty good, the moment Her Royal Highness the Princess asked this question, Ronald was sure that the other party had activated the [lie detector] spell before entering the apartment.
Ronald himself was able to use the [ ] lie detector, and of course he also knew how long the spell lasted.
And the essence of this incident is to help Ronald dispel the other party's suspicion.
So after hearing Claudia's inquiry, he answered generously:
"Of course I have no problem helping with research."
"But the kind of spells released at White Coast Castle have a necessary buffer interval of several months. . It is obviously not feasible to use it in experimental activities with the frequency of research meetings." "
..."
Claudia's expression remained unchanged.
But facing the answer given by Ronald, the princess remained silent for a few seconds, and then distanced the two of them.
"In that case, it's a pity."
"However, although the aspect of research cooperation is debatable, Ronald, your achievements at Shirogan Castle are also indelible. The awards on the mysterious side must also follow the principle of confidentiality, so as Representative of Greed, I brought this to you today."
After saying this, Claudia took out a small box from her side pocket and placed it in front of Ronald with a serious expression.
"This is a medal of honorary membership of the Royal Society of Great Britain. The wearer can enjoy all the rights of a member of the Royal Society. If necessary, you can also go to the society to apply for paper materials at any time and prove your identity anywhere... ..."
What follows is a series of cumbersome and high-sounding descriptions of benefits.
The general content is that in addition to receiving a fixed bonus from Grid every quarter, Ronald now also enjoys the qualification to freely enter the National Library to borrow various books, and even all rare books.
On the premise of possessing this medal, Ronald can immediately enjoy the treatment and position of a full professor at any public university in Grid.
No matter from any angle.
This is a very substantial reward.
After Claudia finished describing this long list of benefits in a calm and elegant tone, she opened the box with a serious expression and took out a platinum medal. She put it on Ronald carefully and carefully before she continued to speak:
"Ronald, you are now a member of the Royal Society of Greed recognized by the royal family. I hope that you can continue to contribute to Greed in the future while abiding by the law." "..." Fortunately
,
Ronald Nader has read a lot of books during this period and has done enough homework on etiquette. Recalling those contents in his mind, Ronald immediately came to Claudia and half-knelt on one knee on the ground.
Face the reward secretly awarded by the princess.
As someone with aristocratic status, he now raised the other person's outstretched catkin with the same serious expression, and then kissed the second knuckle gently:
"Ronald Adler, is willing to assume the responsibility that this status brings. And obligations..."
While performing this small ritual, Ronald was still thinking in his mind.
If he had said in the previous conversation that he could cooperate with the research association and help Grid in deciphering the original scriptures.
So will Claudia still take out this medal today?
Or to put it another way, if Ronald can help the [Scroll Research Society] decipher the original code, then what he will enjoy will not be a private reward from a princess, but the possibility of directly receiving Danterian's reward in the palace. Official accolades and awards from the Queen.
This can be clearly concluded from Claudia's change in attitude.
While Ronald was thinking in his mind.
The two also completed this small reward ceremony.
The serious expression on Claudia's face did not fade until all the important links were over. Then she lay back a little relaxed, and then Her Royal Highness continued:
"I asked my staff to evaluate it before coming here."
"Ronald, you should like this kind of thing more than ordinary title rewards."
What Claudia looks like now.
It's obviously the attitude you have when chatting with friends after business is done.
So Ronald sat back on the original sofa and replied with the same smile:
"This is really a big help."
"I don't have many other hobbies, and the money I have is enough to live on. I have to say what I want. , that is, I can read more books."
A confident smile appeared on Claudia's face:
"I knew it, you..."
"Ronald! I bought breakfast today!"
The two chatted for a while, Claudia's words were interrupted by a voice coming from outside the door.
Heloise, who was carrying two paper bags, opened the door and walked in. Then she pretended to have just noticed Claudia and her expression changed.
"Claude...Mr., Your Highness the Princess!"
"Why are you here? What happened to the teacher..."
Although her tone was convincing, Heloise deliberately acted very indifferent and indifferent in her actions. outside. Not only did he immediately put the food he just bought behind him, but he also had a very alert look in his eyes.
"..."
Faced with Heloise's reaction, the relaxation on Claudia's face quickly disappeared completely.
She looked at the tea on the table, then picked it up and took a sip.
"Ronald, thank you for your hospitality."
"But I have an economics class today, so I won't interrupt you here."
After a simple farewell, Claudia got up and walked out of the room.
Ronald stood up to see the guest off: "Let me see you off."
"..."
There was nothing much to say in a polite farewell.
But at the end of leaving the apartment, Claudia looked at the breakfast in Heloise's hand, and then at Ronald who was following behind to see her off.
Suddenly, a smile appeared from the corner of the princess's lips.
She didn't say anything more, turned her head and left the sight of Ronald and Heloise.
Watch this sudden visitor leave.
Only then did Heloise walk up to Ronald, and then reminded her in a low voice:
"Ronald, it's better that we try not to have contact with this kind of person."
"The royal family of Greed has always been mysterious. It all means being dominated and in danger, not to mention that we plan to intervene in the harvest day later." "
..."
After hearing Heloise's suggestion, Ronald nodded and planned to answer the other party.
However, at this moment, Baplor, who had successfully made another deal, squeezed out from behind them.
He quickly picked up a stone on the side of the road.
The cult warlock carefully put it into his pocket, turned around and smiled at the two people at the door of the apartment:
"Mr. Ronald, it seems that Miss Heloise really likes you."
"I wish you happiness. !"
"..."
The words fell to the ground.
The cult warlock went to the apartment next door and knocked on the door again.
Bang bang bang——
"Sir, do you want to try the water purifier invented by our company's scientists?" "The
tap water system in the city is not working very well recently. People in the north of the city are suffering from dysentery. Please buy it and try it. You In the apartment next door..."
