Until the next day comes, the sun rises high at noon.
Ronald never saw El again.
He stayed in the archmage's laboratory, talking to the old magician, and recording the information that the other party thought needed to be recorded.
The main process between the two of them during this period was that Majer asked Ronald about the mysterious side of reality - Ronald responded - and then the Archmage decided which part of the research content to teach based on the current situation in the world.
Repeat this back and forth.
Time passed quickly and unconsciously.
Ronald's memory ability was already good, not to mention that after undergoing multiple enhancements, this ability is now even better than it used to be.
So while ignoring the cumbersome details and only recording important processes and conclusions, he spent more than ten hours jotting down most of the important information given by Majer. This included the previous two
People have talked about magic and information theory, as well as the cognitive part of the world.
It's just that this process of teaching and recording could not continue forever.
Almost after noon.
The Archmage, who was thinking about what other important matters needed to be taught, changed his expression.
Although the windows of this laboratory were tightly blocked by bookshelves, the old man slowly turned his head and looked through the airtight wall into the distance.
"Well...that kid from Almont is here."
"Ronald, we don't have much time now. You go and pick him up, and then go to the platform at the top of the hill. The route can be all the way up from the side stairs. As for me, I will prepare the preliminary work for the entire ceremony first."
Majer's perception is amazing.
Even after the Archmage spoke, Ronald adjusted his perception spell a little, and then he realized that there was indeed a person who had just landed on the edge of the island, followed by three young spellcasters.
It’s obvious——
This should be the middle-aged Archmage Almont, returning to this abandoned magic city with his men or apprentices.
Knowing everything in his heart, Ronald naturally nodded in agreement:
"Okay, I'll leave now."
After saying this, Ronald turned around and left the laboratory directly, left the castle, and walked towards the entrance of [Larchmont].
The Archmage who stayed in the laboratory watched Ronald leave. Then he picked up the scroll in his hand and subconsciously wanted to put it back on the bookshelf to tidy up the room where he had lived all his life.
"..."
But before this action was completed, the Archmage stopped and the expression on his face became lonely.
He realized that he was just an illusion in the cycle of history.
And this cycle of failure will disappear completely with the ceremony in a few hours. So even if he spends some time to rearrange and archive the book scrolls here, it is essentially a meaningless act.
"hehe--"
However, a few seconds later, the old Majer laughed.
He looked at the scrolls on the floor and the dusty bookshelf, and stuffed the books in his hand into the pocket of the mage's robe, and then walked out without hesitation like Ronald:
"Now that the fire of knowledge has been spread, what is there to regret?"
…
On the other side, Ronald was walking out from the main entrance of the castle.
He walked down the stairs that had blocked the three of them from going up the day before, and couldn't help but look up at the dome of the castle above.
With the help of the connection between soul fragments and the effect of detection spells on humans, he was able to find Irzheng, Fischer, and an old mage staying in a room in the upper part of the castle.
These three people seemed to have verified something through magic and conducted some quick and convenient experiments, so they are all in a good mood now.
"..."
Ronald paused for a few seconds, and after thinking for a moment, he still did not summon El to come down.
After all, I was just going to take Almonte back to the castle.
Moreover, since Fischer was by El's side, he didn't have to tie this guy tightly to him.
Just like this, we left the castle all the way and passed through the dilapidated civilian area of [Larchmont].
When there are still four or five towers away from the gate of the city wall.
Ronald then saw Almonte leading three young apprentices.
At this moment, Ronald looked calm.
He was fully aware of the upcoming arrival of these four people, so naturally there would be no surprises.
On the contrary, Almont, who was accompanied by three juniors, obviously did not expect to see such a strange and young face in the deserted [Larchmont].
This spellcaster, who also holds the title of Archmage, is a little nervous.
But he quickly wiped this expression from his face.
Compared with the young Almonte whom Ronald saw last time, this one at this moment has already spent more than ten years.
This great mage, who had experienced the war at the end of the Dark Ages and then shouldered the responsibility of stabilizing the situation on the east coast of Sunriyang after the war, was in a completely qualified state of mind at this moment.
He moved calmly and walked towards Ronald with a confident and majestic pace:
"Young man, why did you come to [Larchmont]?"
Sure enough, he is not the same person as before...
Seeing Almonte's appearance, Ronald knew that this was indeed a pure new reincarnation.
So he corrected his mentality at the moment, and said to Almonte in front of him with the attitude of meeting him for the first time:
"Mr. Almont, I do have some matters to deal with when I come to [Larchmont], and I have already obtained the consent of Archmage Majer."
"Even if I come here to greet you, it's because of Your Excellency Majer's order."
"Teacher's orders..." Hearing Ronald's explanation, Almonte narrowed his eyes.
The middle-aged archmage looked up at the castle on the hillside in the distance, and then seemed to confirm in some way that what Ronald said was true.
"In that case, I'd like you to lead the way."
Ronald nodded slightly, then turned around and led Almonte and the three young men behind him towards the direction of the castle.
During this period, he could also hear the whispers of the three young people behind him.
In fact, under the leadership of Almonte, they came to this once glorious magic city for the first time.
Facing the dilapidated scene in front of us, a gap arises spontaneously.
For a moment, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart.
Under this situation, they couldn't help but start discussing this failed city and their teacher's past experiences.
In the end, we walked almost halfway through the dilapidated residential area.
After passing by a relatively well-preserved tower, Almonte behind Ronald suddenly asked in a serious voice:
"Sir, the teacher and I haven't seen each other for a long time. I came here this time in accordance with our past agreement."
"If you don't mind, could you tell me what happened here recently?"
