Mystic Dominator

To be fair, Ronald felt that accepting Anthony's idea of ​​traveling with him was a little hasty.

The two of them don't know each other's basics.

Just because of a chance encounter, they embarked on such a dangerous road together.

In particular, the starting point of the incident was that Ronald planned to obtain information, so he found a strong person like Anthony.

But in the following days, the situation gradually changed.

Under Ronald's around-the-clock surveillance, Anthony showed no psychological or behavioral hostility. When it comes to conversations about ideas, the attitude shown is also fully consistent with the actions.

Until they came to the next city.

Anthony was in charge of the negotiations as agreed before, and handled the identity issue easily without any small moves to secretly pass on information.

Only then did Ronald finally begin to change his attitude.

And what plays a decisive role is the influence of the environment.

When traveling in the territory of [Nine Rings Secret Association], no matter the size of the city or town. Ronald found that in places where humans live, the closer to the capital, the more serious the neglect of ordinary people.

Under such a person's concept, it is absolutely impossible to say - 'A person who is willing to risk exposing secrets to save an innocent life will never do such a thing! 'In this case.

That night, the three of them checked into the hotel and rested.

With the physical strength of Ronald and Kostat, such news is certainly unnecessary.

But considering Anthony's age.

Ronald decided to slow down a little, at least not to let the elder suffer too much in the rush.

Before the break, the three of them sat together to discuss. Ronald asked first:

"According to the current speed, how long will it take for us to reach the capital of [Nine Rings Secret Society]?"

Anthony answered confidently:

"If the speed remains the same, we can reach the capital in five days."

Costart is most sensitive to numbers.

The next second Anthony spoke, the maid remembered a piece of data and said bluntly:

"In this case, we just arrived in the capital a few days earlier than those merchants."

Ronald knew what Costart was talking about.

That was the group of merchants they traveled with for the first time after entering the [Nine Precepts Secret Association]. But the two parties talked a lot, and naturally they would not let go of the distance and time.

It's just that the information I learned at the time is somewhat inconsistent with the current reality.

After all, Ronald and the others often use flight spells when traveling in the wild.

There is no reason why the speed should be just a little ahead of Hong Shang's pace.

Ronald and Costat turned questioning eyes to Anthony.

Because after the meeting, the old magician was leading the way, so any problem would naturally lie with the other party.

In the face of doubts, Anthony acted calmly, even taking a sip of water to moisten his throat.

"It's precisely because we're fast that I planned this route."

"To be honest, not everyone in this land supports the policies of the Nine Rings Secret Society. When we local old guys met in private, some people also expressed relatively negative emotions."

Anthony is planning to seek help from others.

Ronald understood Anthony's thoughts. This kind of action of relying on connections to gain an advantage was quite effective most of the time. So Ronald continued to ask:

"Anthony, are there people like this on this route?"

The old magician nodded with a proud expression:

"Not on this route, but in this city where we settled!"

"It's just a little late now."

"In order to make things go as smoothly as possible, we'd better just hand in the greeting card now, and then officially visit tomorrow."

After the discussion, Anthony wrote a greeting note in person and handed it to the front desk of the hotel for delivery.

Ronald turned on the spell to sense the action downstairs.

Probably because the hotel they stayed in was relatively luxurious, and the staff here were also very attentive. Just a quarter of an hour after Anthony handed them the invitation, someone left the hotel with the envelope.

After the discussion and things to be done are over, rest time naturally follows.

But what was somewhat surprising was that the three of them had only been lying down for an hour when they heard the noise of carriages on the street outside.

Then someone got out of the car, walked directly into the hotel, and walked straight to the room the three of them rented.

"..."

In the dark room, the three Ronalds got up without saying a word.

They knew what a dangerous operation they were performing, so they naturally couldn't sleep like a dead pig at night. So after the man from the carriage entered the hotel, they all reacted together.

Soon, a knock sounded at the door.

Bang bang bang——

"Mr. Anthony?"

"I'm Qiao Yin, you haven't rested yet, right?"

Hearing this voice, Anthony first breathed a sigh of relief, "This is my friend's butler." After explaining, the old magician stepped forward and opened the door.

Costat, who was behind, took the opportunity to light a fuel lamp.

Ronald walked around to the side of the room so that visitors would not notice his presence immediately.

Pacha——

The door opened, and the knocker was indeed a man dressed as a butler. He immediately bent down and apologized:

"Mr. Anthony, please forgive my rudeness for calling me late at night."

"Hahaha." Of course Anthony wouldn't care, "What's the point? I'm not old enough to worry about being disturbed in my sleep!"

"Qiao Yin, it's unusual for you to come to me so late."

"It must be your master's order, right?"

While talking, Anthony also welcomed the butler in, and also introduced Costant's identity, indicating that he was his apprentice.

In contrast, the butler was completely afraid to sit down.

He just stood in front of Anthony and spoke in a respectful tone:

"I am impressed by your wisdom."

"The reason why I came so late is because the master hopes that you can go to the academy tomorrow morning. Those people from the east have organized a scholarly visit, and they still don't seem to bring goodwill."

"Pursuing knowledge." When he heard this word, Anthony immediately frowned, "How many days will it start tomorrow morning? Will it be in the academy?"

Qiao Yin immediately replied:

"Eight o'clock in the morning, no other location scheduled."

After answering the question, the housekeeper specifically added:

"Sir Anthony, this sudden inquiry is very strange, and he is also very nervous. If you hadn't happened to appear, and we were sending letters asking for help now, I'm afraid no one would have been able to come in time to help."

"I know." Anthony nodded, "Since the situation is tense, you should go back quickly. Tell your master, I will come on time tomorrow morning, rain or shine."

"Thank you for your invitation." Qiao Yin bowed deeply and left quickly.

When the door is closed, the carriage leaves.

Ronald quietly walked out of the shadows:

"Judging from the various behaviors of this housekeeper, the current situation is indeed quite urgent, right?"

Anthony smiled bitterly and admitted:

"Of course I'm nervous."

"Because these people who are engaged in academic research are the local supporters of the [Nine Rings Secret Society]."
