Mystic Dominator

"Cough cough cough——"

After Kostat let go, the old man coughed violently.

He made a look of pain before getting ready to speak.

But before the old man spoke his first words, Ronald said:

"The skill of using a cough to cover up the spell is quite clever."

"But with all due respect, let's forget about this kind of thing. If I really want to take your life, you will never have any chance to resist."

"..."

The old man opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

He believed that his spell-casting skills had been concealed to perfection, and this was something that had been verified many times in the past.

But in the eyes of the young man in front of him, he was seen through at a glance.

This not only requires terrible observation skills, but also requires the ultimate magic induction to achieve the effect.

First there was the spell to reverse time, and then there was this terrifying power of observation.

I was just on a whim, and ended up encountering such an outrageous thing?

The old man subconsciously glanced at Costat next to him.

In fact, not only this young man, but also the girl who subdued him instantly was also an unreasonably strong guy.

It was so rare that he had never seen the combination in his life.

Did you happen to bump into it today? Could this be a coincidence?

The old man was filled with doubts, but at this moment, it was Ronald who spoke first:

"You don't have to doubt these things. The reason why I chose to come here is because I noticed your existence."

After being told his concerns, the old man's expression became very ugly:

"Read minds?"

Ronald shook his head:

"It's just a judgment based on your emotions,

I have no interest in prying into other people's minds. "

“Now that we’re getting down to business—I’m going to ask you a few questions.”

"As long as you answer honestly, you can leave soon. I guarantee your safety."

Ronald expressed his attitude, but the old man still did not speak.

Normally, Ronald might explain a few more words, but seeing such a scene today, he really didn't have any extra mood, so he started asking questions directly:

"First, your name."

Hearing this question, the old man looked stunned, even a little confused.

The person who tricked me here doesn't even know his name. What kind of joke is this?

Just when he was about to scold the other party, the old man saw Ronald's eyes.

He looked serious and serious, without any unnecessary emotion.

He immediately replied:

"Anthony, Anthony Berg."

Ronald continued to ask:

"Are you a magician of the [Nine Rings Secret Society]?"

Anthony shook his head and rejected:

"I do not belong to them. I am currently a free spellcaster."

Ronald did not question this answer, but he stated the result quite definitely:

"You are the strongest spell caster on the mysterious side in this city."

"The strongest are not necessarily their people!" After a few questions, Anthony clearly noticed Ronald's attitude towards the [Nine Rings Secret Society] and quickly began to explain, "Their strongest people are concentrated in the capital, surrounding The "Book of Interpretations" begins its activities. You are also a person on the mysterious side. Isn't it difficult to understand this?"...

Ronald raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.

The next time I opened my mouth, it was already another question:

"Since entering here, I have found that the magicians in the city have a very bad attitude towards ordinary people. Is this common here?"

Hearing this question, Anthony's expression became uncomfortable.

He struggled for a while, and finally said helplessly:

"Although I don't want to admit it - boy, you are right, this is the situation here. What's more serious is that people seem to enjoy such rules, and it is difficult to change."

Ronald asked:

"No one stood up to resist?"

Anthony shook his head regretfully:

"It is impossible for people to go against the mainstream, especially those of us who have always hidden our identities in the past. When the existence of the mysterious side is made public, this is an inevitable trend of change."

During the question and answer session, the old man was completely on the weak side.

But maybe due to the influence of his usual speaking habits, after he finished his answer, he actually started to comfort Ronald:

"Young man, I know what you are worried about."

"But with all due respect, this is already the general trend of social change and is unavoidable. Although the [Nine Rings Secret Society] is very intense here, it is only faster."

"One day, other places will look like this."

Ronald's eyes became subtle.

After questioning until this point, he was actually ready to let the old man leave. After all, he had no reason to attack someone outside of the incident.

But Anthony's subsequent comments made him stop his original thoughts and asked another question:

"You think this is right?"

Anthony still shook his head:

"of course not!"

"But in reality, the path people take is often not the right one."

"Young man, I know you are indignant about this reality, but with all due respect, accepting and adapting to the environment is the way to survive in the long term."

"..."

Ronald did not refute the old man.

Just waving at the other party, he took Costat away and ignored Anthony.

From a practical point of view, he knew that the other party's attitude was understandable.

But Ronald didn't think so.

Even if the hope is slim, as long as the road to a happy ending exists, he still has to try.

After such an encounter happened during the trip, Ronald naturally had no intention of staying in this city. After the conversation ended, he took Costat and walked outside the city, preparing to find a place to take off, fly directly to the nest of the [Nine Rings Secret Society], and give them a hard time.

However, when the two of them walked out of the city, their pace slowed down.

After walking a distance of almost two kilometers, Ronald simply stopped moving forward, and stood beside the pipeline with Costat, quietly waiting for the figure behind him.

That's right - that Anthony actually followed!

The old man, who should have had a good rest, or was thankful that he was not in trouble, followed Ronald immediately after they left.

Even all the way out of the city, the other party had no intention of stopping.

It's just after noon now.

Anthony seemed to have the magic to strengthen his body, so it wasn't too tiring to follow the two of them. Only after he completely caught up, he took a big breath, as if to show that his physical strength was not as good as Ronald's.

Facing such an old man, Ronald was not pretentious and took the first step and asked:

"Tell me, why are you following us?"

"And I'd like to remind you that if you can't come up with a legitimate reason this time - then you might be in some trouble."

"I don't know what you plan to do." Anthony was very confident at this time, and even made an unexpected suggestion, "You are just moving in this land, maybe you need a guide?"

Ronald raised his eyebrows: "So...?"

Anthony raised his old hand and pointed at his face:

"So, what do you think of me?"
