Chapter 883: Rush to the ruins
based on the situation in memory.
Ronald took Nicole and Costat to the cult warlock base that he knew.
However, a month passed.
This house, which looks unchanged from the outside, has been deserted. The extremely vigilant cult warlock has moved to another place long ago, and he has no habit of staying in one place for a long time.
"Costat, can your magic still track you in this situation?"
Ronald turned to look at the maid, but the other party could only shake her head regretfully:
"Sir, I'm sorry."
"They left too long ago It's too long, and there are too many people moving, so I can't continue to track it under such circumstances." "
..."
Seeing that even Costart was unable to do anything this time.
Hearing this situation, Nicole immediately turned to look at Ronald who was standing aside:
"Ronald, do you know any other strongholds of this group of cult warlocks in Waterfall City?"
"I do know a place." Ronald nodded in acknowledgement.
But when he answered, the expression on his face told everyone that this was not good news:
"But, that place is located exactly southeast of Waterfall City."
"Southeast..."
Nicole instantly realized what Ronald was saying. The location of the base.
"The base you mentioned happened to be in the destroyed city?"
Ronald nodded and replied, "That's right, you should go take a look, right?" "
..."
Nicole thought for a few seconds, and finally made the choice. This place:
"Let's try it first. We have too few clues now."
A few words decided the next goal.
The three of them immediately turned around and started walking southeast of Waterfall City.
In fact, if Ronald wanted, he could now go to Entrod's agents to ask for some information. However, due to a series of events that had happened before, Ronald did not want to have anything to do with these guys anymore.
As for Nicole in the team...
because of her status as a Grid investigator, it was impossible for her to seek help from this group of people.
So face the current situation.
The three of them could only give up going through official channels and instead use their own abilities to achieve their goals.
The night was getting darker -
Ronald and the three of them, who were considered to be absolute strong men on the mysterious side, walked toward the southeast of Waterfall City at night like this.
At the same time, as time goes by, Entrod's secret service is also taking action.
After all, the three Ronalds are quite special in terms of abilities and identities.
It would be fine if they went out together during the day, but at night, it was absolutely impossible for these staff members who were supposed to protect Waterfall City and Entrod to leave such a thing alone.
So, when the three Ronalds arrived at the ruins of the city southeast of Waterfall City.
A very interesting scene also appeared on the street.
Of course, Ronald and the others were walking towards the city as usual, and behind them and to the left and right, separated by a street or a few houses, you could always see guys wearing coats and felt hats frequently. Moving back and forth, the position follows them throughout.
It felt like Ronald and the others were some kind of dignitaries traveling incognito, and they were surrounded by security guards secretly guarding their safety.
And what's even more interesting is.
The answers that Ronald and the others are looking for at the moment, and these Entrod agents surrounding them, are very likely to know the truth.
But due to various limitations in reality.
They can only give up on the answers that are close at hand, and must go to search for the truth themselves.
"..."
Regarding the current situation, Ronald felt a little bit dumbfounded.
So when he led his two companions to search the ruins, he couldn't help but joke to Nicole:
"Nicole, if this happened in Burrenwich, the Investigation Bureau would also send so many people to surround it. Are you here?"
Upon hearing Ronald's inquiry, the investigator girl's eyes flickered around.
Although there was no one in sight, Nicole knew that she and Ronald were surrounded by Entrod agents at the moment.
So Nicole also laughed:
"The Investigation Bureau has never had time to send out so many people at one time. Unless it is to encircle and suppress some particularly dangerous guy, or to deal with a vicious incident that endangers the whole city, such a situation will never happen!"
After answering Ronald's question, Nicole even felt that it was not enough.
She also raised her finger and added:
"Usually when some big shots come, we just send one or two teams to ensure basic safety. After all, even a strong enough spellcaster who wants to be in Gray If you want to cause trouble in Germany, you must first consider what kind of great man's rule you are within." "
..."
What Nicole said was a matter of course.
But Ronald has a different view on this explanation.
He recalled his experiences in the cities of Burrenwich and Springs, and couldn't help but say in a strange tone:
"Over there in Greed, I feel that things are not bad at all."
"That's your special situation, okay!"
Nicole was surprisingly sensitive in this regard. Ronald complained, and the investigator girl became a little angry.
"Ordinary people...that's not right! Ordinary spellcasters living in Greed will not encounter any trouble or extreme situations even if a year or two passes. Ronald, the reason why you don't feel good is just because of you The people and circumstances they come into contact with are quite special!"
"Think about it - cult warlocks, senior members of the church, and the [Nine Rings Secret Society], an ancient secret organization. Which ordinary magician would contact them? Something?"
"And...and..."
At this point, Nicole's tone suddenly stopped.
The girl's face suddenly became a little tangled, and she stood there hesitating for a few seconds before pointing to herself hesitantly:
"And there are us investigators."
"Although I don't want to admit it, normal practitioners also treat us as The god of plague."
"For example, when magicians were recruited from the people to help, Ronald, you were one of the few in Burrenwich!" "..."
Ronald
was dumbfounded, he didn't To think that Nicole cared so much about this.
However, he had to admit that what the investigator girl said did make some sense, so he nodded with a wry smile:
"Well, this is indeed my fault."
"But if possible, the people I don't want to come into contact with are these things. Who doesn't want a peaceful and stable life?" At
this point, Ronald said again I couldn't help but think of what I saw at the beginning of time travel.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, the first mysterious person he met when he came to this world was Heloise, Entrod's senior agent.
If we really want to analyze it from the perspective of interpersonal communication.
Then he himself really went astray from the beginning!
