Chapter 606 Chat on the Balcony
"Ronald, are you still planning to leave later?" On
the third floor of the apartment at night, after describing the changes in Springs, Patricia opened her mouth to give Ronald her suggestion:
"If you plan to leave, I suggest you wait a day before leaving." "
In preparation for tomorrow's celebration, some things have been arranged in the city. It is not a good time to go on the road alone." "
..."
Ronald nodded slightly. clear.
He did not answer Patricia directly, but changed the topic:
"Patricia, what is the situation of my house now?"
"Since Phyllis has left, then I remember the rent I paid in advance... ...You shouldn’t be able to survive now, right?”
Patricia’s expression remained unchanged, and she spoke out the situation that Ronald had not expected.
"It's [Ginkgo Business Alliance]."
"They paid to rent this room for two full years, and then they didn't arrange for anyone to come and stay. You should understand what they mean..."
Ronald showed a complicated smile.
He really didn't expect that the profit-seeking Ginkgo Leaf Chamber of Commerce would show such kindness after his disappearance. Although it is essentially a risky investment, the sentiment is still real.
At this moment, Patricia continued to explain:
"After dawn, I am responsible for the safety of this section of the river bank area."
"Two hours before the celebration starts, do you mind if I take a rest here?"
"I'm extremely happy." Ronald nodded slightly, and then walked to the bedroom skillfully, "I've been blowing on the sea these days, so I'll go and tidy up first."
Click -
gently close the bedroom door, Ronald Go into the bathroom and boil water to take a shower.
This apartment design is good for just that.
Even if there are people in the living room, residents can easily handle personal hygiene.
After taking care of basic hygiene for half an hour, Ronald walked to the closet and opened the door as a habit.
The rows of hung clothes in front of me were as neat as ever.
At this moment, Ronald even felt as if Heloise was still around and helping him take care of these trivial details.
"Haha——"
Ronald smiled bitterly and shook his head, then changed into clean and tidy clothes.
After opening the bedroom door again and returning to the living room, Patricia stood on the balcony, leaning sideways and quietly looking at the Vis River at night.
The girl's body was half illuminated by the fire in the living room.
The other half of the body fell under the slightly inferior but still bright night starlight.
Ronald smiled and said hello, then turned around generously.
The small pieces of paper in the crevices of the bookshelf, the gray dust hidden behind the fireplace bricks, the personal money reserved for emergencies...
all of these things were recovered in front of Patricia.
Ronald stood up and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh——"
In his heart, Ronald said his final farewell to the people around him.
Recycle the most important things in the house one by one. When the harvest day celebration is over, there is a high probability that I will not come to this place again.
At this time, Ronald turned to look at the balcony:
"Want something to drink?"
"Just water."
"It's exactly the same as before..."
Ronald shook his head and sighed, then poured two glasses of water and walked to the balcony.
Patricia smiled and replied:
"Alcohol has a bad effect on the body. I don't want anything to go wrong at tomorrow's celebration."
Ronald nodded slightly:
"Tomorrow's celebration..."
To say that Pa It is indeed unrealistic that Tricia never drinks. As an old noble, even if a lot of benefits were taken away by the new nobles, the necessity of social etiquette is still unavoidable.
He half-bent down and leaned against the balcony railing.
Ronald's eyes fell on the Weiss River and the larger urban area behind.
It was obviously still the same spring, and Ronald had only left for less than a month.
But now when I look around, I feel a strange yet familiar feeling.
"Huh--"
Ronald exhaled slightly, and the "Bradshaw Railway Guide" reminded him of the current time.
Wait until after twelve o'clock.
The city welcomes its second day.
With a few more hours of preparation, the Harvest Day celebrations will officially begin.
Queen Danterian will set off from Tianhai Palace, then pass through every urban area of Springs on the arranged road, arrive at the church district on time at noon for religious ceremonies, and close on time at the port at night.
In this era when the entertainment industry has not yet flourished, this is definitely the biggest entertainment project for people throughout the year. It is also an opportunity for the royal family to show their authority as a ruler.
Look at the Vis River in the past.
The cargo ships that kept coming and going were all hung with colorful flags to celebrate the festival. The crew members and workers who had not yet fallen asleep were leaning on the deck. There were ordinary citizens who had already celebrated the festival in advance, and even stopped working temporarily.
Looking at this scene full of life, Ronald suddenly realized that this was no longer the purely magical world of the [Infinite Negative Number Field].
With emotion in his heart, Ronald turned his head and looked at Patricia.
From the moment she returned to this room, the girl did not ask Ronald about what happened during his disappearance. Instead, she intimately told about the various changes that had taken place in Springs during Ronald's absence.
Ronald knew very well.
As a top expert on the mysterious side, any information can become a tangible benefit after being processed, and Patricia definitely knows this.
At this time, I haven’t taken the initiative to ask.
It is enough to prove the weight of oneself and interests in the other party's heart.
So, Ronald took the initiative and said,
"Patricia, do you want to hear about my recent experiences?"
Patricia smiled and said,
"Does this mean you want to talk about your feelings, or do you want to give them to me?" Telling a great adventure story? At noble banquets, many people like to create some interesting experiences for themselves." "
That's right." Ronald smiled back. He glanced around the apartment, waved to a worker on the Ves River boat who greeted him, and then he spoke calmly: "A few months ago in
this world, I met a cult. Warlock.”
"That guy was a strong man who owned an original book, and was completely suppressed in the battle. In desperation, the desperate cult warlock controlled the original book to explode, and then took me to an unexpected place..."
Patricia His expression was quite bland at first.
But when the topic came to the existence of Barrier Mountain, the indifference disappeared from her face.
He moved crisply away from the balcony railing.
Patricia walked up to Ronald in two steps and asked in an extremely serious tone:
"Ronald, are you sure that the person on the barrier mountain is the wizard who was sealed hundreds of years ago?" "
And if that's true, , then where did you escape from?"
"Tell me, have they come back too!"
