Out of the most basic etiquette, Claudia invited the people from [Nikos] to stay on the boat for dinner.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ronald hurriedly left, saying that he would take Il and Costat to the shore for dinner, thus escaping the subsequent banquet.
But now the treaty has been signed.
As the strongest code holder on the fleet, Ronald is bound to be troubled by various things.
So when he took two girls on the street looking for food.
From a distance, I saw Nicole, the investigator, appear from the direction of the pier, and then started to approach her in a swaying way. Although there may have been some detours in the process, Nicole quickly found Ronald in front of him.
.
"Nicole, are you looking for me?" Ronald greeted him proactively.
"That's right, a message from Her Royal Highness." Nicole nodded immediately, and then conveyed Claudia's notice, "[Larchmont]'s address has been sent to each spellcaster's room, and those who can fly tonight
Be the first to go."
Ronald shrugged helplessly at the news.
Although he had many flaws in his heart, he also knew that this was the reality he had to accept when joining the fleet.
"I knew I couldn't escape this trip."
After simply complaining, Ronald then thought of another thing:
"Speaking of which, how come you came to inform me of this news? Shouldn't it be someone from Springs?"
"Hey hey hey——"
Hearing Ronald's question, Nicole immediately laughed and then explained quite proudly:
"Isn't this what I did last night?"
"Willard was not very satisfied with my vague prediction, so he immediately locked himself in the cabin and shut himself up. But if you think about it, it's not okay for such an important thing to have no result, and then I thought about it——"
At this point, Nicole deliberately drew a long note at the end of her words, obviously trying to seduce Ronald to ask questions.
Through what he just said, Ronald has actually guessed the situation.
But with Nicole acting like this, he naturally doesn't mind satisfying the investigator girl's wishes:
"So, Nicole, what did you do in the end?"
"I -" Nicole smiled slightly, and then continued to explain, "When I thought about it, Claudia is Her Royal Highness the Princess! This is the princess of Greed, not the princess of those investigators in Springs.
!”
"Our Burrenwich is also an important city in Greed. For such a serious question, I am an ace investigator, so it shouldn't be too much to ask directly!"
Ronald immediately agreed with Nicole, who had already raised her head to the sky: "That's really not too much, it's better to say it's what it should be."
Nicole calmed down her tone and continued:
"After I figured it out, I went directly to His Highness Claudia. After a brief chat, His Highness seemed to like me very much. Knowing that I am familiar with you, he also handed over to me the task I informed you today.
Already."
Ronald quite agreed with Nicole's explanation.
Although her personality is indeed lively, she is also reliable and calm at critical moments, caring for her companions, and optimistic.
It can only be said that it is reasonable that Claudia would like Nicole like this.
While Ronald was thinking about this, Nicole's smile faded a little, and then she came over and carefully added:
"Also, Ronald, I am also one of the first people to go to the ruins tonight."
"When we get there, for the sake of our relationship, you have to take more care of me."
"What's the problem with dealing with a relic?" Ronald immediately heard the clues in the investigator girl's words, "With the skills you have now, do you still need me to take care of you?"
Hearing this, the last smile on Nicole's face fell:
"Ronald, this is what you don't know."
"Our investigators are more complex and have various methods. I happen to have someone who works for me, and he told me that his spell gave him a hint. This trip to the ruins may be full of dangers!"
"And... what about the details?" Ronald had no doubt about Nicole's thoughts and immediately began to ask, "There is no specific content about danger?"
Ronald's attitude now is very serious.
As a companion who lived together, he knew how strong Nicole's current ability was, which could be said to be a level that could definitely defeat ordinary holders of the original book, not to mention that she had also developed uses such as 'divination'.
To be able to take Nicole so seriously, even if Ronald is confident in his own strength, he still has to treat her with caution.
Nicole did not disappoint Ronald. She answered immediately and made gestures to enhance her expressive ability:
"That guy's ability comes from a voice in the void."
"According to what he told me, the prompts this time are [Wreck], [Cycle], [Dispersion], [Wisdom], and [World]. Well...well...Ronald, you should be able to understand it, right?
?”
"..."
Ronald stared at Nicole with extremely serious eyes. After carefully distinguishing the gestures that were probably meaningless, he tentatively asked:
"Nicole, you call this a prompt?"
"There's nothing I can do!" Nicole jumped up almost immediately, her tone extremely aggrieved, "But that guy said that this reminder was dangerous, and I did a divination and the results proved that he was right.
.”
"Ronald, I have really confessed everything I know!"
Seeing Nicole's reaction, Ronald was quite helpless. It would be difficult for anyone to rely on such vague things to get the truth.
But think about it, if the future is really so easy to predict, and you can get 100% correct answers.
Then this world is terrible in every sense of the word.
Speaking of this, Nicole suddenly mentioned something more:
"By the way, Ronald, the results of my divination for you before seem to be related to this operation."
"Ah, does it have to do with me?" Hearing this, Ronald's expression became more serious.
What will happen to this ruins is also related to him, and this must be taken seriously.
the other side.
Seeing Ronald frowning and thinking seriously, he stood motionless.
Instead, Nicole comforted Ronald:
"Ronald, in fact, this matter is nothing. With your strength, danger should not be called danger."
"In my previous experience, I suffered the consequences of arrogance." Ronald replied seriously, "It's better to be cautious about such uncertain things."
"Um..." Nicole scratched her hair.
There was no problem with Ronald's answer at all, and it was not easy for her to refute.
After a few brief words at the end, Nicole mentioned that she wanted to return to the ship to discuss with her fellow investigators, so she said goodbye to Ronald:
"Anyway, we'll set off from the pier tonight, and we'll go together then."
"Also, your notice should have been sent to the cabin in the form of a document. You can take a closer look when you get back!"
