Mystic Dominator

Ronald was a little surprised.

Everything he saw at this moment was different from his impression before entering the door.

On the way from the second floor to the restaurant on the first floor.

There are many decorations in the manor, but the number of people is definitely less.

An estate of this size has the status of a Nicklaus family.

According to the information that Ronald learned after traveling, at least there should be many specially hired servants to be responsible for many tasks.

But the result...

All the way down, Ronald saw only one maid.

It doesn't look like it's short of money...

With such doubts, Ronald and Patricia came to the restaurant together.

——It is still a very small number of people.

Frey, whom he had seen last time, was sitting here, but Ronald didn't know anyone else.

Only the old man sitting at the main seat in the restaurant, Ronald could see that the other party should be the most prestigious existence among the people present.

As for the details...

Although there were servants standing in the restaurant to serve the owner, including the smiling old butler, there were only three servants.

This didn't fit Ronald's impression of the nobles of Grid.

On the contrary, the dinner fit Ronald's impression of such a nobleman.

Some spices and ingredients that are rarely used by ordinary people can be seen on the table of the Nicklaus family.

During the subsequent meal.

Patricia gave Ronald a special introduction.

Her father, who had recently taken a post in an overseas colony, had left Springs with his wife, as had, in fact, most of the adults in the Nicklaus household.

Except for a man of Patricia's uncle generation.

There are basically only young people who have not been assigned duties here,

Or the elderly who are already very old.

And it can be called a harvest.

Probably Ronald knew Patricia's nickname.

When eating at home, the old man basically called Patricia abbreviated as 'Lily'.

When the dinner was over and Ronald left the restaurant to say goodbye.

Walking in the corridor of the mansion, Patricia spoke:

"Ronald, let me see you off."

Hearing the affirmation in the girl's words, Ronald was not hypocritical:

"Um……"

"let's go."

"..."

Walking out of the Nicklaus family's manor, Ronald and Patricia walked side by side on the streets of Springs.

Seeing that there was no one around, Ronald found a topic and asked:

"By the way, Patricia."

"When I was a guest at your house just now, I found that servants and the like are rare. Your family should not be short of money, right?"

Hearing Ronald's question, Patricia generously explained:

"Of course there is no shortage of money."

"However, this matter is actually related to the rise of those emerging nobles."

Ronald paused a little:

"A new nobleman?"

Patricia nodded with certainty:

"That's right, the emerging nobleman."

"Because of His Majesty's various reforms, a group of new aristocrats who are good at doing business and manipulating money have emerged in the country. As a result, issues related to the competition for various interests have also begun to emerge."

"But you know it, Ronald."

"Our Nicklaus family is not just aristocratic. The mysterious side of swordsmanship is very dangerous and important."

Hearing this, Ronald also understood the actual situation:

"So with the rise of these new nobles, special nobles like you have also begun to respond, and even dare not hire servants you don't trust?"

Patricia confirmed Ronald's guess:

"After all, the times are different from the past."

"Not only is the form of this world changing, but many things that were usable in the past are now facing obsolescence. People like us have to think about how to deal with it if we want to survive."

"..."

Looking at Patricia with emotion on her face.

Ronald could probably understand how the girl was feeling now.

As the strong on the mysterious side, the great nobles in the secular world, when faced with this change of the times, they are subjected to shocks from many aspects, and it is reasonable to have such a reaction.

After walking for a while in silence, Patricia suddenly spoke:

"Yes, Ronald."

"I remember that you have cooperated with [Ginkgo Leaf Business Alliance]?"

"From a personal point of view, I suggest that you make contact with them, which should be quite beneficial to you."

"..."

Hearing Patricia's suggestion suddenly, Ronald's mind turned to another aspect.

— Meteorite.

A business organization like [Ginkgo Leaf Business Alliance] must be responsible for buying and selling a lot of commodities.

Then use the meteorites needed for "Almagest" by yourself.

Can it be obtained from this commercial organization?

This is a big chamber of commerce with a mysterious side background, meteorites should be able to be collected, right?

On the other side, Patricia also noticed Ronald's contemplation at the moment.

"Ronald, what's on your mind?"

Ronald naturally replied:

"Because of the spell problem, I want to buy a meteorite now."

"The ginkgo leaves you mentioned, they should be able to find them over there, right?"

Patricia stared blankly:

"Meteorite..."

"To be honest, I don't know much about this kind of thing?"

"However, with the ability of a commercial organization like Ginkgo Leaf, they will definitely be able to get it if you need it."

Ronald smiled gratefully:

"Patricia, thank you."

Patricia waved her hand nonchalantly:

"It's nothing, I just mentioned it casually."

"Springs actually has limitations in all aspects. I also said this because I thought it would be more convenient for you."

Ronald immediately added:

"Maybe so, but it's really important to me."

"..."

While chatting like this, the two of them walked for a long time before the end of this "seeing off" journey was over.

And on the eve of farewell.

Ronald hurriedly took out the gift he had prepared a long time ago.

A book wrapped in oiled paper.

"Ah, yes."

"and this."

"I wanted to give it to you before, but I didn't find any suitable opportunity."

Seeing what Ronald handed over, Patricia was a little puzzled:

"this is……?"

Ronald immediately replied:

"Gift, this is a gift I prepared for you."

"First visit today, I can't come empty-handed, can I?"

"..."

Hearing Ronald's words, Patricia was stunned for a moment.

But she quickly came back to her senses, and reached out to accept Ronald's gift.

"Ronald, I am very happy."

"Thank you very much for your gift."

Saying that, Patricia didn't open the package.

Holding Ronald's gift in one hand, the girl turned and walked towards her home.

For Patricia.

The important thing about a gift is who gave it and why.

As for value...

She didn't really care much.
