Chapter 960:
Now that Lighthouse Island has accepted Teresa’s commission.
Naturally, Ronald set out immediately, planning to resolve the commission tonight.
So leaving the theater, thinking that Fanny would inform the fleet of the news, Ronald did not return to the steamer. Instead, he walked all the way to the edge of the land, preparing to fly towards the place Theresa described. .
Ronald planned to carry out this secret investigation work alone.
However, because of what happened while shopping during the day, Costart did not want Ronald to go alone to investigate at night, but instead took the initiative to express his willingness to follow this operation.
Ronald agreed to this matter, after all, this was Costart's initiative. But as a result, Il began to worry not about scarcity but about inequality.
It would be okay if neither of them followed Ronald.
But now seeing that Costart can actually act with Ronald, then this guy Il must also get involved!
In this way, what was originally a one-man operation turned into three people going together.
...
As night fell, Ronald took Costate and Il to the shore.
Following the route given by the great witch Theresa, he chanted a spell and flew into the air, and found the island on the sea without spending much effort.
It's a nice night tonight.
The sky is cloudless and there is no air pollution, so the light from the stars is not blinding.
A few kilometers away.
Ronald saw the lighthouse standing on the island and the firelight on the surrounding shore.
According to Theresa's explanation, this should be the casters of the Dawn Spell Society sending people to keep watch to prevent unexpected 'visitors' from invading the island.
"Starting from the relationship between the entire earth and the sky, we will begin to form our understanding..."
Ronald then recited the incantation of the "Almagest" and began to collect surrounding terrain data on the way to the island.
The spell worked very smoothly.
Based on the terrain data he collected, Ronald confirmed that there was nothing special about this island.
Regardless of the terrain structure above the water surface or the basic structure connecting the continental shelf below the sea surface, it is a very ordinary coastal island with no clues.
In addition to the lighthouse, the people of the [Dawn Spell Society] also built a base the size of a resort estate in the center of the island.
Except for the casters who were keeping vigil around, almost all the other humans on the island returned to this base at night.
To be on the safe side -
before landing on the island, Ronald flew around the perimeter of the island.
After confirming that he had not missed any hidden spells or hidden tricks, he took Costate and El and landed in a forest on the island.
"Boss, what should we do now?"
After landing on the ground, Il immediately asked:
"Should we make a little noise, attract everyone there, and go in to check it out by ourselves; or should we talk like those novels and stories Like the thieves in the novel, sneaking in to investigate the situation?"
"Thieves novels?" Hearing this term, Ronald immediately noticed, "Are you still reading those popular novels recently?"
El said with a smile:
"Isn't life on the ship too boring?"
"When I really can't find anything to do, I will find two books to read. Speaking of which, there is also a book collection on our steam cruise ship. The room contains various popular novels by Greed, which looks quite interesting!"
"..."
"Okay, let's not disturb others first."
"It's best not to cause the [Dawn Spell Society] to cast a spell. Under the premise that the operator pays attention, we will directly figure out the situation and return to Capone immediately."
Ronald did not interfere with El's personal hobbies.
After briefly explaining his attitude towards this action, he led the two of them to the center of the island.
Soon, the first obstacle was placed in front of them.
Because the island is too large, the [Dawn Spell Society] did not spend exaggerated resources to build a barrier that covered a large area. The loss of protecting the entire island at all times is obviously a choice that is not proportional to the income.
But this base is different.
Forming a barrier to defend against invasion within such a range is completely affordable for the [Dawn Spell Society], so there are many corresponding facilities.
So before Ronald and the others sneaked in to investigate the situation, the first problem was to resolve the barrier blocking the three of them.
"..."
"Costat, can you handle it?"
As early as when he was looking for the "Organic Encyclopedia" in the Yuez Forest, Ronald had seen the maid's ability to invade enchantment-like spells, so he immediately asked for help. His eyes were on Costart.
In response to Ronald's inquiry, the maid also showed full confidence:
"Sir, leave it to me."
"Their technology is completely inferior to the Sorathu School. I promise not to let anyone notice us. Arrival."
As soon as he finished speaking, Costart stepped forward.
The maid then placed her hands on the edge of the barrier, and the magic power spreading out immediately invaded the barrier and continued to extend beneath the ground.
Next, Costart found the node of the magic circle that protected the entire manor, and immediately began to cover it.
...
it takes no more than three minutes before and after.
Ronald clearly felt that there was a gap in the barrier in front of him that could allow three people to pass side by side.
"Costat, you did a great job!"
"Sir, you are overly complimentary."
After simply praising Costant, the three of them walked into the base manor in a swagger.
The caster is also a human being and naturally needs to rest at night.
Coupled with the fact that Ronald had human induction spells that were enough to cover the entire base, they easily bypassed the base's night watchmen and entered the building all the way.
It's a pity that it's not enough to get into this position.
The three Ronalds almost surrounded the inside and outside of the building, but did not find anything unusual.
As a result, there is only one place left that has not been explored.
That is to say, the focus of defense by the caster is established in the core area of the entire base.
"..."
"You guys pay attention to your surroundings, I'll take a closer look."
To invade a place like this for investigation, Ronald would naturally not be as relaxed as he was outside just now. So before walking into it, the first thing he had to do was to identify the target he was looking for.
"Special magic wave..."
Mumbling his target, Ronald gently closed his eyes.
Under the protection of Il and Kostat, he greatly strengthened his sensitivity to magic fluctuations.
Being in extremely serious and focused situations.
Such actions are also quite effective.
Only more than ten seconds passed before Ronald finally felt a magic wave different from that of humans at a location below the ground!
"Found it! Let's go!"
