Chapter 876 Little Rich Woman
"The cost of accommodation in the hotel..."
After being reminded by Costart, Ronald immediately realized the problems he had to face financially.
After returning from this trip to the North Pole, Ronald actually gained something in terms of money.
It's just that he is not a core member of the expedition team, so the money he gets is basically enough to meet daily expenses.
And now, where Ronald and Costart live.
That was the Entrod Secret Service, which selected the highest-end luxury hotel in the city for the two of them!
Unless they immediately return to Adler's ancestral home in Kurpis and take out a deposit.
Otherwise, if you want to immediately solve the economic problems you are facing now...
then you can only find a way to start a side job.
"Costat, maybe we can move out from here and live in a more ordinary place..." "
Wait?" Ronald was about to discuss with Costart about changing their accommodation. As a result, Nicole, who was standing next to her, suddenly raised her hand and intervened, "If it's just the accommodation fee, you can just leave this kind of problem to me." "
Huh?"
I heard the investigator girl's suggestion.
Ronald suddenly turned his head and his eyes became a little complicated:
"Nicole, are you so rich?"
"Ronald, after all, I am also an elite investigator of the Bureau of Investigation!" Ronald was surprised. The look in Nicole's eyes was very helpful. The guy even sat on the sofa and puffed out his chest, and then continued with a proud face, "And what I earned was the Gert from the Ministry of Finance, like Biontrod." Ordinary currency in the countryside is much more valuable!"
"..."
Ronald was silent.
Nicole's attitude at this time is very confident, but she does have a reasonable reason.
After all, the country she plays for, Greed, is currently the unquestioned strongest economic country in the world, and its currency is naturally much more valuable than Entrod. In addition, Nicole's job itself has a good salary.
So paying for a luxury hotel in Entrod is indeed affordable for her.
"I didn't expect you to be a rich woman..."
Faced with Nicole's words that directly solved the financial problem, Ronald shook his head slightly, and then took the initiative to stand up from the chair:
"In this case, Nicole, you can Take me to see the scene first."
"I know you must have done a detailed investigation of the place, but with Kostat and me here, maybe we can find some details that you haven't noticed."
Nicole He also stood up following Ronald's movements:
"Ronald, thank you very much."
Ronald returned with a smile:
"I have promised before that I can help you as much as possible in this regard. Besides, , didn’t you also pay a price for helping me pay for my accommodation?”
“…”
Before nightfall, the three of them left the hotel where they lived.
While leading Nicole towards the destination, Ronald looked at the back of the investigator girl and suddenly remembered the doubts he had always had before: "By the way,
Nicole."
"I actually have an inconvenience I want to ask you a question."
"Oh! What?" Nicole turned to look at Ronald, with some curiosity in her expression, "Between the two of us... No, I don't seem to be keeping anything secret. You ask first. What?"
Ronald shook his head and denied,
"It's not a private matter between the two of us, but a problem with the [Argan's Secret] school's magic system."
Now that this was mentioned, Ronald had no worries or worries. reserve.
He went straight to the point and continued to express his doubts:
"Didn't your blind eye complete a ritual and then enhance your abilities?"
After hearing this, Nicole immediately became interested.
Although she did not slow down in leading the way, she still deliberately changed her position and started walking side by side with Ronald: "Ronald, do you think you know the key to this?" "You know some details.
"
Ronald De nodded and admitted, "But if it matches what I know, some of the things in it don't make sense." "The
ritual of exchanging the vision of one eye for wisdom is logically connected to rune magic. But the rune system seems different from the one you use."
According to Ronald's knowledge.
The ceremony performed by Nicole should be similar to an experience experienced by the main god Odin in Norse mythology.
But if that's the case, then the runes used by the girl in front of him should be runes, or what they call runes. This powerful cipher text is a mysterious power related to the secret of the universe in Nordic mythology.
However, the reality before us is not like this.
Ronald saw Nicole use spells several times, and the other party used runes composed of horizontal and vertical lines—this should be the Ogham alphabet.
This alphabet is said to be derived from the rune alphabet.
But analyzing the facts from the mysterious side, these things are more used by the Celtic side.
"..."
Ronald asked based on his relatively superficial knowledge.
However, for Nicole, these few short statements were enough to cause a huge shock.
“Hiss—”
Walking on the streets of Waterfall City, Nicole took a deep breath of the cold air around her, then shook her head vigorously:
“Ronald, are you from our [Secret of Ogen] school? The founder of the company, where is a branch left secretly?"
"You can even know this kind of thing!"
Before Ronald could reply, Costart interjected in a rare hurry:
"Ms. Nicole, Mr. Descendants of the founder of [Secret of Ogen]."
Ronald looked at the maid who was eager to protect her bloodline, and then rejected Nicole's conjecture with a normal expression:
"Nicole, if it's like you said, what should I do? We all know that we won’t ask these things here now.”
“Okay, okay…” After confirming their attitude from the two of them, Nicole shrugged and continued, “Anyway, [Secret of Ogen] now That's it, there's no need to keep this kind of secret."
"Actually, within our school, the magic system studied comes from two original books. One of them is the runes you saw me using. This part The knowledge will be imparted to all members who join the school."
"And only after passing the school's rituals and becoming a core member can you be qualified to master the magical power of another original book. The strength I gained at the cost of one eye, Its essential enhancement comes from the ability of the second original book."
"So that's it..."
Ronald understood everything immediately.
[Secret of Ogan] should have mastered the original texts of both runes and Ogan, and used this to form a school system of core inheritance and peripheral inheritance. Therefore, Nicole can activate the rituals of Nordic mythology when she uses Celtic system spells on a daily basis.
The two discussed this knowledge, and the road ahead became farther and farther.
unconsciously.
Dusk spreads in the sky towards the ground.
The three of them also arrived at an alley beside the lake before nightfall.
Nicole slowed down here, then pointed forward and said:
"We are at the place, right here."
