Hearing this, before Ronald could react, Nicole, who was standing beside him, stepped forward and grabbed the guy's collar.
"Boy, you are so brave!"
"It's okay to kill people on the boat, but now I want to drag the original holder into the water?"
Of course, Nicole chose to believe Ronald unconditionally.
But when she was about to ask the murderer in front of her further, Nicole's emotional perception spell that had just been activated told her an unignorable detail - this guy was not lying.
Is there something wrong with my own magic?
Nicole's expression was stunned. Ronald's expression just now came to his heart.
Could it be that painter girl really...
"What lies are you talking about? When will I be your own person with you!"
Just when Nicole's thoughts were extremely confused, Ronald finally spoke. He felt inexplicably throwing the man in front of him to the ground, then lifted his legs and stepped on the other person's chest.
"Honestly, what is your purpose?"
"Ahemhem—"
The man who was trampled under his feet coughed violently.
But he didn't feel resentful because of Ronald's rough treatment, and he still had that flattering smile. The guy explained openly:
"Mr. Ronald, you haven't seen me before, so it's normal not to know."
"But Miss Xiesta, you won't forget it?"
"And the lady has already said that you will always be a friend of us pure and good magicians, and you will definitely be your own person with a firm stand!"
“…”
"hehe."
Ronald couldn't help laughing.
Because of the misunderstanding in the cabin before, this guy's remarks made him nervous. As a result, after a long time of work, he was a cult warlock with an abnormal mind!
Ronald knew everything.
Then he moved away his own foot and pointed at the guy at Nicole next to him:
"This guy is a cult warlock."
"Nicole, I don't need to explain more now, right?"
Nicole also had a sudden realization on her face.
This is not the first time that the investigator girl has dealt with a cult warlock. She quickly wrote the runes with two fingers. Then, before the cult warlock on the ground stood up, she bent down and slapped it.
Bang-
With a slap, a red mark appeared on the cult warlock's face.
And his upper body, which had just started, immediately froze completely under the control of Nicole's spell, and could no longer move.
At the same time, the captain who witnessed the development of things in front of him now understands that something really happened in their cabin.
If this matter continues to be investigated, he is absolutely responsible as a leader.
So the chief engineer spoke:
"Miss Investigator, he is..."
"Don't worry, there will be no trouble here." Nicole, as an investigator, has seen many similar situations. She didn't even have to guess, and said very skillfully, "The ability of cult warlocks is even some experienced ones.
Even the caster can’t handle it. It’s not your responsibility to get involved in such an ordinary person organization.”
Nicole's explanation relaxed the chief's expression a lot.
But to be on the safe side, the engineer asked another question:
"Since that's the case, is there anything I can help with?"
Nicole replied immediately:
"When this guy got on the boat, he introduced the people he came to work here, the guy who was usually close to him... It is best to prepare all the information like this, and we will definitely use it in the future."
Hearing that there was still something to use for himself, the chief engineer finally breathed a sigh of relief:
"I understand, I will sort out this information as quickly as possible."
“…”
After successfully catching the murderer, Ronald and Nicole naturally returned with the cult warlock, while the captain was busy sorting out the information.
On the way back to the cabin above, Nicole did not forget to take time to interrogate the news.
So she slapped the cult warlock on the back of the head, and the spell that assisted in cross-examination took effect:
"Hey, what is your purpose of killing people on the boat?"
The cult warlock replied without thinking:
"This is my spell requirement, and I must kill people as a sacrifice within a certain period of time."
Then, something even more outrageous happened.
The spell used by Nicole is a type that needs to be recast after asking for it. She has not yet developed a spell that is effective for a long time.
But even so, after answering and explaining, the cult warrior continued to speak with confidence:
"But it's quite strange."
"After I killed the lonely little girl, the spell's excitation state had calmed down, and everything showed that my ritual was very smooth. But just now, it suddenly failed again, making it seem like the person I killed suddenly did not
It seems like counting!"
“…”
I heard the cult warlocks talking dissatisfiedly.
Nicole looked at Ronald, and Ronald smiled silently.
The two tacitly did not explain this question to the cult warlock, but Nicole continued to ask:
"It doesn't matter what this kind of thing is."
"Now, honestly, what is your purpose in getting on this ship!"
“…”
The cult warlock actually looked at Ronald next to him first.
The meaning in that look was clearly asking Ronald whether he should answer this question.
Ronald said with a stiff face:
"Just say it right, there are no outsiders here."
Nicole was obviously controlled by the action and was escorted out.
But after seeing Ronald's actions, the cult warlock had no doubt at all and looked happy:
"I'm relieved!"
"Actually, I just took a ride... a ride-hailing boat to Anluo Island in the south!"
"Although the road to the south on the ground is now open, the road is very tortuous and has many passes, which is very unsafe. In comparison, no one checks the route on the sea, but it is still the ruthlessness of [Greed]
The role is responsible for speaking. I can even get a good salary under the premise of safety!"
Based on facts, the cult warlock is really fine.
In fact, if he hadn't been able to help but kill someone, as long as he stayed honestly, he would have successfully boarded this sailboat!
But Ronald couldn't help but complain about this guy's actual operation:
"So because of this salary, you honestly burn coal for the coal furnace on the boat?"
The cult warlock showed a bright smile:
"Mr. Baproul once said: 'One part of labor, one part of gain'!"
“…”
Compared to Ronald's complaints, Nicole is more sensitive to the information disclosed by the cult warlock, so she asked directly:
"Continue, what are you doing to Anluo Island?"
The cult warlock naturally continued to reply:
"Because Anro Island is the gate to the Kingdom of Rooney, it is already our paradise!"
