Chapter 514: Ask more about
the two booklets held by the maid Heloise.
One records the differences in puppets made from different woods, and the other records some problems encountered in magic experiments.
For example, Ronald was curious about something in the previous battle.
According to Lumil, the maker's own experiments, these puppets have a certain degree of resistance to flames and are not as easily burned as ordinary wood. However, they have almost zero defense capabilities against attacks with corrosion or light attributes.
"Can you make spells for dark creatures..."
While muttering, Ronald quickly read through the contents of the two booklets.
After reading it for a few minutes, the results gradually became clear.
Just as Ronald guessed, Lumil did not have this spell for a long time.
Hiding in the countryside and studying spells quietly, it turned out that the handwriting in both books was relatively new, and the content was only about ten pages. As a research manuscript on a mysterious figure, I can only say that there is no problem in just making a beginning.
"Wood that is not afraid of fire, it would be a pity not to use it to build houses."
Walking next to Ronald, Heloise did not hide her mocking tone at all.
According to the experimental results in the manual.
The puppets Lumir made have two characteristics: [the older the wood is, the stronger the corresponding puppet will be], and [the puppets made from rarer and more valuable wood will be significantly stronger than ordinary puppets].
Other behaviors, such as the use of magic power, or whether to enhance the summoning ability when casting a spell, have little to do with the puppet's combat effectiveness.
Thinking about this information in his mind, Ronald was about to speak:
"Heloise, I think..."
"Huh?"
The words ended abruptly just as they began.
Ronald, who discovered something, suddenly raised his head and looked at the night sky with some doubts in his eyes.
Heloise asked cautiously: "Ronald, what did you find?"
In reality, Ronald did not need to explain to Heloise.
In just a few breaths, the thing he cared about fell from the sky.
Aria, the original code holder who had met Ronald several times and was extremely capable in combat, fell in front of the two of them. She put away her umbrella and saluted Ronald thoughtfully:
"Mr. Ronald, tonight Okay."
"Alia, why are you leaving the city so late?"
When Ronald asked, he already had a vague premonition in his heart. Aria would appear in the suburbs so late. I'm afraid this behavior itself has something to do with the battle just now.
Otherwise, this is the time and place where the other party appears.
It's a bit too much of a coincidence.
What's more, from the moment she landed on the ground, Alia's eyes have been staring at the puppet on her back. All kinds of signs indicate that the 'girl' in front of her cares about something.
At the same time, Aaliya also retracted her gaze to look at the puppet.
Nodding slightly at Ronald, he replied:
"I just sensed some strange magic fluctuations outside the city. I am very concerned about this thing, so I came here to check it out." "..."
After
hearing Aria's statement, Ronald He looked at Heloise.
Both of them saw what the other was thinking at the moment.
——It’s definitely right to cause some trouble for Lumil!
So Ronald also put on a polite smile and immediately explained to Aaliya:
"That's it, tonight my companion and I are looking for a guy named Lumil, so..."
Ronald told the story bit by bit. The story was no different from what was told to the investigators. However, Aaliya's reaction to this matter was different from that of the two investigators.
After hearing that Lumil summoned a large number of puppet guards, and then Ronald used holy spells to annihilate them, the expression on Aria's face was extremely serious.
She couldn't even wait for Ronald to finish.
He interrupted very directly:
"Ronald, the puppet you are carrying on your back was captured in the battle just now?"
"Can you let me see it?"
"..."
——Less anxious and nervous.
Ronald saw these two expressions at the same time on the face of the original code holder.
In the previous meetings, whether it was her indifference to the battle during the crusade against the [Nine Rings Secret Society] in the suburbs, or her taunting of other spell casters in the [Scroll Research Society] discussion room, Aaliya had never reacted like this.
The spells Lumil mastered must be very important to the girl in front of her.
The relationship between the two parties was already good, so Ronald explained naturally:
"This puppet was indeed captured by me in the battle." "
But because Lumil has canceled the spell, it is better to keep it sealed. If you look at it now, it will only become a useless piece of wood."
Aaliya immediately replied:
"I just need to touch it, there is no need to unlock the seal."
Having said that, Ronald naturally had no objection. He untied the puppet from his back, then poked it on the ground:
"Please -"
"Thank you." Aaliya didn't hesitate, stretched out her hand and pressed it on the wooden head. After such a simple action, the last conscious doubt in Aria's eyes turned into a long sigh.
Looking at Aaliya's appearance, Ronald couldn't help but ask:
"Alia, are you very concerned about this matter?"
"It's your duty..."
Aaliya immediately answered Ronald.
But then she raised her head again and glanced at Ronald suspiciously.
"Why, Ronald, didn't your father tell you?" "
My school is responsible for sealing all aspects of the dream fairy tale system. Now that the puppet army has appeared, how can I ignore it?
" Ya's simple rhetorical question brought quite complicated information to Ronald. He organized the words in his mind as quickly as possible, and then said as much as possible to avoid making Aria suspicious:
"Actually, my father passed away very early. I actually know very little about many things that I should know. ."
"Oh...?"
Aaliyah was obviously stunned.
She hesitated for a few seconds, then finally opened the umbrella and spread the magic power over it.
"I'll go to the scene to see the situation first, and we'll talk about it after we get the details." "
Anyway, if something goes wrong with the work of my school of thought, some fairy tales and anecdotes passed down by word of mouth among the people may also cause trouble. Ronald, you'd better do it." Just remember this."
As soon as the words fell to the ground, Aaliyah's body was carried by the umbrella and flew into the air.
It looked obvious that they were going to the suburban manor pointed out by Ronald.
I don't know what the original code holder's attitude is towards what he just said...
Ronald turned the puppet back behind him with a subtle expression.
At this moment, Aaliya, who had flown some distance away, heard two small reminders in the air:
"By the way, I suggest you ask your maid more."
"I heard that Although the thing has a bad attitude towards humans, it is still loyal enough to the Adler family."
