Mystic Dominator

"Heloise?!"

Ronald originally came to greet Aaliya in the mood of entertaining friends.

But now that he heard this name from the other party, he could no longer maintain his previous calmness.

Walking to Aaliya in two quick steps, Ronald asked directly:

"You have her letters! Where did you get them? Why not send them to me directly at Kurpis?"

Ronald's tone was a little urgent.

Aria, on the other hand, didn't care about Ronald's anxious attitude at all, and she even showed a rather satisfied expression about it.

"Ronald, you are upset."

Ronald replied without thinking:

"Of course, Heloise is a very important person to me!"

Aaliya looked Ronald up and down, then smiled sweetly:

"In that case, it's time to invite me to your home. We can't discuss such issues on the road, right?"

"..."

"You're right."

After exchanging a few words with Aaliya in this way, Ronald's mood calmed down a little.

So following the other party's request, Ronald led the way towards his mansion.

During this not-so-long journey.

Aaliya also analyzed the reason for the mailing of this letter with Ronald.

"Ronald, I actually just found this letter in my mailbox a week ago."

"As for why Heloise didn't send the letter directly to you..."

"I think she should have taken into account that she also has confidential information. After all, if the letter is sent directly to you, even if the information is exposed during the mailing process, it may cause trouble for both of you. .”

At this point, the two of them were approaching Ronald's mansion.

Although I did not see the house directly,

But Aaliya put away the parasol she was holding as if she had been to Kurpis before, and then continued her explanation:

"But I am different. In fact, most people avoid our [Gelt] School. In addition, when we were in Springs, I showed a good attitude towards you, so She just chose to mail the letter to me for delivery."

"So - Ronald, your little lover is really smart."

Ronald smiled back:

"Heloise has always had a sharp mind. She helped me a lot when we were together before."

…

"Costat, Edward! Entertain the guests!"

Next, when he returned to the mansion, Ronald shouted to the servants at home to greet Aaliya, and at the same time, he took the fairy tale sealer to the living room on the first floor.

The two of them sat down separately, and Aaliya took out an inconspicuous envelope from the inside of her clothes:

"Look, this is it."

"There were some basic disguises on it. I'll help you deal with it in advance. Just look at the content."

"..."

Ronald took the envelope.

He didn't care that Alia had read the letter ahead of time.

He opened the envelope with excitement and immediately began to read the contents——

[Dear Ms. Alia:

With all due respect, I would also like to ask you to forward this letter to Mr. Ronald Adler for me.

Ronald——

I saw your adventure in the Arctic on the news. First of all, congratulations on completing this great adventure!

But based on what I know about you, this must be the message you sent me, right?

It's just a pity that due to the changes in the world, sea lanes are currently full of crises. The situation in the southern continent where I hide is complicated, and most ports have been closed.

According to my understanding of the actual situation

It should be about a year before the situation in the area stabilizes. By then I will return to Grid by boat. Please don’t worry about my safety...]

Ronald carefully read the contents of the letter in his hand.

When Springs faced great changes, Heloise did as he expected and chose to protect herself wisely, so she left the territory controlled by Greed far away and started a new life incognito.

However, the following world changes affected the entire world, without any exception.

Heloise's country immediately fell into chaos.

It was a country whose level of development was far inferior to that of Greed.

If I had to give an example, I'm afraid it would be similar to a slave country like nearby Malton.

This is a mixed bag.

With the situation extremely chaotic, it immediately becomes easier for Heloise to hide her identity and protect her own safety. But when it comes to trying to return to Grid, it becomes a complete adventure.

So in order to avoid unexpected changes, Heloise decided to stay there for another year.

Wait until the situation stabilizes before returning to Grid to reunite with Ronald.

"..."

"I see……"

After confirming that there were no omissions on the letter, Ronald folded it solemnly and put it into his pocket.

After completing this action, he looked at Aaliya in front of him again.

While reading the letter, the Fairy Tale Sealer stared at Ronald with a smile without saying a word, and did not speak again until the end of reading:

"Well, Ronald, do you have any ideas?"

"Of course I'm going to look for Heloise immediately. I won't stay at home for a whole year without taking any action at this time!"

Ronald answered Aaliya's inquiry without hesitation, but in the end he also raised his own doubts:

"But having said that, Aria, when did you receive this letter?"

"Now that the whole world is turned upside down and the current situation is turbulent, it is hard for me to believe that an ordinary mail can be delivered to the continent of La Tojoa so quickly across the sea and land."

There is still contact between Ronald and Entrod.

So he knew that the news of the expedition's successful arrival in the North Pole should have been delivered to the world only recently. Under such time conditions, even if Heloise got the news, there was no reason to mail the letter back so quickly.

——This matter is still doubtful.

However, when faced with this question, Aaliya did not answer directly.

The fairy tale sealer just closed one eye cutely, and then put his finger to his lips:

"This needs to be kept secret."

"Because once the principle is stated, it won't work."

"Of course, Ronald, if you have something to ask me for help, you can also find a post office to send me a letter. As long as it is a letter sent from a normal post office, I will receive it quickly no matter what."

"..."

Sure enough, this should be a spell ability related to the original scripture mastered by Alia.

Seeing the expression of the girl in front of me.

Ronald confirmed the other party's status and quickly understood everything.

So he smiled and no longer looked into the reason.

He turned around and called Costart, asking him to fetch a map and a wooden box from his bedroom.

The maid quickly brought what Ronald needed.

In front of Aria, Ronald opened the paper map collected at home and at the same time took out the cylindrical map given to him by Catalina.

"..."

The map is not difficult to read.

Aaliya was just stunned for a few seconds, and then her expression suddenly changed - she realized the value of this thing!

"Ronald, is this the current world map?"

"Yes." Ronald admitted frankly, "But if this thing spreads, it may cause a lot of trouble, so I usually don't show it in front of outsiders."

Just like that, I was exchanging information with Alia.

Ronald searched against the map and quickly found Heloise's location.

If he sets off immediately to take the sea route, optimistic estimates suggest that he will be able to reach the other party's location in about two months.

But besides this, Ronald had other ideas.

A week ago, didn't Patricia also find her and invite him to join the fleet heading south?
