Chapter 580 Capricious
"Mr. Drake, have you been to Barrier Mountain before?"
"I have been there not long ago."
"Then have you seen the wizards on Barrier Mountain? Are they able to fly here like in the legend? Flying?"
"Hmm... that's not why wizards can fly." "
..."
On the way to Barrier Mountain, Ronald and the merchant's child were talking quietly.
Compared to Paprol and Catalina, Ronald seemed to be more likely to be liked by children, so after meeting these three strangers, it was basically Ronald who had the conversation with the child.
However, hidden under this seemingly normal journey is an extremely dangerous road ahead.
For businessmen.
The current Barrier Mountain is not a good place.
The underground city building hidden in the tunnel leading to Barrier Mountain may still allow them to conduct transactions at this moment, and even bring more generous profits. However, if the suppressive effect of wizards as the upper class is temporarily lost, what will happen to ordinary civilians...
Thinking of this, Ronald couldn't help but shake his head.
Since the day they met, he had also given hints to the merchants and his party, revealing in his words that Barrier Mountain was not suitable for visiting. However, the other party had his own ideas about doing business and did not consider giving up the business plan at all.
On the other side, the condition of Barrier Mountain was in perfect line with the predictions.
During the day the next day, Barrier Mountain confirmed through contact spells that the first wave of wizards sent out had been 'annihilated'.
They did not immediately send a second wave of pursuers.
After once again strengthening the spell to protect Barrier Mountain, they continued to stabilize the internal situation while preparing for the opportunity to break the seal in three days.
Until the next day when Ronald and the others continued to move forward with the merchant convoy.
The second wave of wizards who blocked them were selected.
Then in the direction where the three Ronalds escaped from Barrier Mountain, a total of seven great wizards, namely the original holders of Barrier Mountain, set out from the mountainside and advanced in a fan-shaped array.
The detection spell is absolutely above the horizontal line.
What it brings is a sufficiently safe detection effect.
Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for ordinary holders of the original code to get through such a high-level search. The three Ronalds benefited from their previous counter-reconnaissance preparations, so they were not exposed quickly.
"Well..."
Suddenly, Ronald's expression changed.
Things change again.
Ronald and his companions were originally prepared, and their attack plans against these great wizards had already been drawn up.
But at the moment when everything is ready to go.
But these seven people stopped!
All of their positions suddenly stopped advancing and then quickly began to retreat.
In just over a quarter of an hour, the seven great wizards who had just left Barrier Mountain all returned to the academy, and then quickly dispersed and returned to their original posts, and began to devote themselves to the work of integrating personnel.
This kind of performance...
It's as if Barrier Mountain has decided to give up chasing the three Ronalds!
"..."
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
What's more, the scene before her directly contradicted Catalina's prediction!
Ronald casually comforted the little girl in the caravan, then turned to remind his companions:
"Hey, something doesn't seem to be right."
"They came down from the mountain, and then went back quickly."
"..."
"Did you forget to bring your keys when you went out?" Paprol subconsciously came up with an impossible guess.
Catalina was more direct, and the incantation of [Psychohistory] was spoken directly.
"His name is Gale Donik. He was originally just a country boy. He has never been to Trantor before.
Or it should be said that he has never really been here..."
The expression on the girl's face gradually darkened.
This time it took her almost no time to get out of the prediction state, and her tone became irritable when she answered Ronald.
"No, this has been covered by powerful causal spells." "
There are thousands of speculated results, and it is completely impossible to accurately determine the real situation."
"This does have some appearance." After hearing the result, Baproll was completely He didn't mean to worry, but rather praised Barrier Mountain's behavior, "If that guy Danterian encounters this kind of thing in Springs, the next second will be a set of counter-causation, counter-prophecy, and counter-reconnaissance operations. . It took just a few days to figure this out. That false god has made great progress."
Catalina immediately refuted the cult warlock's praise:
"The anti-reconnaissance system of Barrier Mountain has actually always been effective in the form of a barrier. My prediction It was done by bypassing its system. Now my spell will fail - the result can only be that they have done targeted processing." "..." The three of them looked at each other
,
and Ronald understood during the eye contact. He concluded decisively:
"There are two possibilities now."
"First, Barrier Mountain puts the matter of dealing with us at the most important position, so they are adjusting their plans to target us; second, they are preparing to thoroughly Switch to defense and maintain maximum effectiveness before the seal is broken. The return of expatriates and new shielding spells are all to achieve this goal."
Ronald came to a conclusion quickly.
Catalina and Pablo just exchanged glances and immediately agreed with Ronald's idea.
Then the problem arises.
——Which one is the truth?
Facing different situations, the three of them have completely different responses. This is the difference between facing the enemy head-on, testing hard power, and sneaking in secretly, testing flexibility.
"I think they should be scared!" Baproll never minded expressing his opinions at such times. He immediately chose the facts he wanted to believe, and even quoted his own experience. .
"Actually, it was the same when I was leading the school." "
If the people under my command are likely to be blamed, my guiding advice is usually to run away quickly. Preserving your strength is the greatest guarantee for a comeback in the future." Catalina
's The view is completely different:
"The madmen in Barrier Mountain are different from madmen like you."
"If they hadn't been forcibly sealed back then, most of the wizards here would actually be the kind of guys who want to die together. Don't underestimate them in this kind of situation. How decisive the matter is."
"When looking at the existence of life, whether it is their own or ordinary people's, these guys regard it as a measurable bargaining chip." "Don't expect this group of people to come up with
any plan to preserve their strength. Come out!"
"..."
Paprol and Caterina each have their own ideas.
When the discussion gets heated, it is naturally difficult to stop.
However, not long after, Ronald shook his head with a strange look on his face:
"Stop for now, you two."
"Now... someone else has come out of Barrier Mountain..."
With Ronald's powerful investigative ability, He clearly felt that another wizard in Barrier Mountain took the initiative to leave the academy.
It's just that there are six great wizards different from last time.
This time I left Barrier Mountain.
There were only three people!
