Mystic Dominator

The morning of May 7th.

Four visitors from Black Mountain left Ronald's mansion early in the morning.

Among them, Patricia and the two investigators looked light and energetic after a full night's rest. Among them, Dominic was the only one with thick dark circles on his face.

His face was frighteningly pale, as if he hadn't slept all night!

But even so, as the leader of this visitor team, Dominic still cheered up and bowed to Ronald who was escorting them out of the mansion:

"Mr. Ronald, thank you for your hospitality last night."

"Although the time was short, all of us felt considerate..."

Just when Dominic was about to continue to say a few polite words.

From the corner of his eye, he glanced in the direction of the village along the continent of Kurpis. Then Dominic saw El, who was walking happily outside with a flower basket on his wrist.

"Come on, we're leaving right now!"

"Mr. Ronald, I'm sorry."

"The development work of Heishan Town cannot be delayed for a moment. I am pressed for time here!"

Even before he finished speaking, Dominic could no longer maintain his composure as a noble.

He even said goodbye while rushing into the carriage first, as if he would be attacked by something particularly dangerous if he stayed outside for a while.

"..."

The three people left outside the carriage looked at each other.

In the end, Patricia, who had the best relationship with Ronald, turned around and looked at Ronald with a puzzled look:

"Ronald, what did this guy do in the village before you brought him back last night?"

Facing Patricia's inquiry, Ronald looked innocent:

"Patricia, I guarantee that Mr. Dominic did not encounter any danger last night. He just bumped into the scene where several magicians in the village were dealing with problems under very unexpected circumstances.

So I was a little frightened. "

Hearing Ronald's answer, Patricia and the others didn't say anything more. They said goodbye to him one by one and then walked into the carriage.

After all, what Ronald said was exactly what they perceived.

Dominic was indeed in a poor mental state, but at the same time there was no sign of any physical damage. Facing an original code holder, no one would ask for trouble in this situation.

Just like that, it only took a few minutes.

The carriage drove away towards the west under the driving of the driver.

With Ronald's excellent hearing, he could even hear Dominic in the carriage loudly ordering the driver to continue to speed up after the carriage had moved some distance away.

"..."

"Huh? Why are people gone?"

At this time, El, who came out of the village behind, also came to Ronald.

The smile on this guy's face didn't diminish at all at this moment. Looking at the carriage where Dominic and others left, she even felt a little bit resentful:

"You clearly promised to take care of my business, but why did you leave without buying anything?"

"You can save it!"

Ronald couldn't help but rolled his eyes at El.

For this guy who simply wore a human appearance, Ronald did not ask him to adopt human values ​​​​forcibly, but only placed restrictions on what El could do.

"Go back to the church immediately and help Hopkins rescue those people who took the wrong medicine!"

"If you can't do this well, you'll have a good time!"

Facing Ronald, Ir didn't dare to treat him the same as he did with Hopkins.

Just after hearing Ronald's order, she showed a flattering smile, and then raised the basket in her hand:

"Actually, I'm just here to deal with this matter!"

"If I want those guys to be able to resist the pleasure on their own, the plants I have on hand cannot meet the needs, so I have to collect some other things and transform them to achieve the corresponding purpose."

Ronald stared:

"Then go quickly! Also, don't do this kind of thing again!"

"Yes, yes, it's all up to you!" El agreed with a bow and a bow. Then he carried the flower basket and followed the road into the Yoiz Forest.

…

Seeing El go to collect herbs, the farewell guests have also left.

Ronald then turned around and returned to the mansion with Costat behind him.

Go back to your bedroom and sit down.

Ronald spread out a book collected by the Adler family in front of him, his eyes revealing deep thoughts.

Costart, who noticed this scene, immediately asked:

"Sir, what's on your mind?"

Ronald nodded and replied:

"Yes, Patricia brought me some news last night."

"In addition to the ongoing development issues in Black Mountain Town, Greed is currently preparing to form a team to go overseas."

Kostat immediately realized what made Ronald think:

"Does the latter have news about the mysterious side?"

Costart was absolutely right, and Ronald immediately started to explain:

"Before the decisive battle between the Springs and the Wizards of Rampart Mountain, the [Nine Rings Secret Society] also revealed that they had an original book that could analyze the original book. At that time, in order to obtain this thing, powerful men from various university sects in the world organized, and undertook an expedition for that purpose.”

Just by hearing the beginning, Kostat could guess how troublesome this matter would be:

"What other developments will follow this expedition?"

"That's right." Ronald confirmed Costant's guess. "In the past few months, it was very difficult to transmit information between the worlds that were isolated from each other because of the two sides of the world. But now, the news from that side has finally been transmitted. return."

"The [Nine Rings Secret Society] set up a huge trap in the southern continent to catch all the spell casters who went there to seize the original scriptures. At the same time, the original scriptures of the top spell casters were also left behind because of this incident. Got there."

"Now the news has been passed back to Greed, and on the grounds of revenge for those dead, a new and larger expedition is about to begin."

"Patricia came here specifically at this time to remind me of this matter and to see if I have any intention of participating."

Costat asked tentatively:

"Sir, what do you mean?"

"I didn't answer directly, but I revealed that I don't plan to leave Kurpis for the time being." Ronald slowly shook his head and said, "The expedition has just completed the process of spreading to all parts of the world. Compared with going to conquer [Nine] As for the remnants of the Secret Order, I prefer to stay here and wait for news about Heloise."

Costa nodded to express his understanding, and then brought up a result he got from his thinking.

"Sir, under the current situation, the purpose of this massive expedition should not just be to conquer the [Nine Rings Secret Society] or seize the original scripture, right?"

Ronald showed an expression of appreciation:

"certainly!"

"In addition to the purpose you mentioned, they probably also want to redefine safe and reliable waterways in this complex world environment. For a coastal country, stable maritime trade conditions are also necessary."
