Mystic Dominator

It was just past midnight.

There are still about six hours until morning.

On the third floor of the apartment in the riverside area, Patricia and Ronald walked out of the room, and then went to the night street together.

"Ronald, I'll go back and get some things first."

"We'll meet here in three hours, no problem?"

"See you or leave."

Three or two sentences of dialogue to make an appointment.

Ronald and Patricia parted ways on the street with a flat expression.

However, unlike the ordinary appearance on the surface, when Patricia returned home, she was preparing to bring the treasures hidden in the family, and strive to maximize her fighting ability.

As for Ronald...

Naturally, he wouldn't just wander around the streets idly.

Anyway, [Wess University] is also located in the riverside area, so he plans to go there now to check the situation. If you can convince the big shots in the [Scroll Research Association], at least it will be a lot easier for the celebration at dawn.

at this time.

Find as much help as you can, details that have a chance to affect the situation.

"..."

On the streets of the riverbank area at night, Ronald walked towards [Wess University].

Probably because of the downfall of the celebration, groups of students could be seen staying nearby the newly replaced street lamps from time to time. Because of the special status set up by the Queen, [Wess University] is actually an important place for parade tomorrow.

Let's not talk about these students immersed in the festive atmosphere.

As long as you pay attention, you can see the hidden Bureau of Investigation staff nearby.

It was the same as Ronald's impression.

The Springs investigators have always done their job well.

Then Ronald saw an investigator step out of the shadows. The other party just waved his hand and made a signal with his companion, and then walked directly in front of Ronald.

"Mr. Ronald, is this...?"

Questions don't go into detail.

The investigator only revealed Ronald's identity in the words, and then waited silently for Ronald to answer.

"I'm going to [West University] for a trip."

"About today's celebration, I have some news to discuss with my friends. It's not a shady business."

"..."

"Then good luck to you."

The investigator who came up to ask questions seemed confident.

After receiving such a simple answer from Ronald, he returned to his original position.

Looking at the other party's appearance, Ronald couldn't help guessing in his heart.

Is this calmness due to the existence of the [lie detector], or is it out of trust in the research institute's predictive spells?

"..."

In silence, Ronald continued on.

It was not the first time for him to come to this road. He crossed the street with ease, and [Wess University] appeared in front of Ronald like this.

Ronald stopped here for a rare few seconds.

If you want to find a suitable adjective in the vocabulary in memory.

So - be prepared.

The students who are still in the school are really immersed in the atmosphere of the upcoming festival at this moment. But for a person with astonishing insight like Ronald, the current [Wess University] can definitely be called a well-defended tactical fortress.

The spell bases buried on the main road, the investigators lurking everywhere in the upstairs forest, and even some special people among the students...

As long as you walk in [Wess University].

Basically, there is no escape from this perfect and solid security system.

"As expected of the Bureau of Investigation..."

Ronald sighed with emotion in a low voice, and then walked towards the library.

Because investigators had already inquired about his situation before, everything went smoothly afterwards.

Came to a work place I hadn't seen for a long time.

Ronald could see that the library was not heavily guarded.

—or not necessary.

As the headquarters of the [Scroll Research Association], the usual defenses here are already strong enough, and there are many powerful spell casters who have been researching here for a long time.

Unless it was an emergency that the original code was about to go berserk.

Otherwise, this place can definitely be called a fortress that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Ronald stepped up the stairs of the main entrance, and soon found a sign erected beside the main entrance——[The important collection of books, temporarily closed. During the celebration period, visits are not allowed. 】

"..."

Ronald turned his head and looked in the direction he looked at.

Confirming that no one was paying attention here, he jumped sideways and easily jumped up to the third floor of the library. [Archangel Archangel]'s ability opened the windows inside the building, and Ronald invaded the library so easily.

And then...then the defensive spells immediately detected the invasion.

The third floor was originally where the office was located. The door of the room on the side was opened directly, and the caster, who was preparing a spell to defend against the enemy, saw Ronald's figure in this way.

"Ro... Mr. Ronald?"

The caster who appeared here was just an ordinary researcher from [Scroll Research Association]. Recognizing Ronald's identity, he froze in place. As long as you have a basic understanding of the strength of both sides, you will understand what is going on now.

Therefore, the caster put away the spell sensibly.

Then he stammered and asked:

"You, what are you, why are you here?"

"I'm looking for Mr. Oppenheim." Ronald showed a friendly smile, "It's about the celebration, and the situation is more urgent."

Ronald's smile made the caster heave a sigh of relief, but the news that the caster said afterwards was not so good:

"Mr. Ronald, Mr. Oppenheim is also going to join the parade. A few hours ago, he went to Tianhai Palace. If you have anything to tell, maybe..."

Ronald wasn't here for 'phone messages'.

Hearing such a reply, he directly interrupted the other party's formulaic speech:

"Then where are the directors of the laboratory? Who are they now? Or where is the highest-ranking person on the Research Council? The matter of my coming here is very important, not..."

Suddenly, Ronald's voice stopped abruptly.

His keen hearing sensed that someone came up from the stairs on the east side of the library, and the rhythmic footsteps even revealed a sense of familiarity.

Turning around, Ronald quietly watched the direction of the stairs.

Then a team of three casters, two women and one man, appeared from the corridor.

Ronald knew two of them.

Walking in the middle was Grid's first princess, Claudia G. Balk.

And behind her are Miao Li and another young man from the [Scroll Research Society].

Of course, Miao Li didn't need to say much.

And this young man... Ronald vaguely remembered that during the seminar held by the Queen, this young man sat on the seat of the Royal Knights. He will appear in the library today, and his duty is probably to protect Ke Claudia's.

"..."

The two sides looked at each other.

Both of them were stunned for a few seconds because of the person in front of them.

Then, as the undoubted leader of the field, Claudia spoke first:

"Ronald... why are you here?"
