The first thousand four hundred and twelve chapters invitation
To be fair, Ronald felt that it would be a bit hasty to accept Anthony's idea.
They don't know the root of each other.
It was just because of a chance meeting that we embarked on such a dangerous road together.
Especially at the beginning of the incident, Ronald planned to find information, so he found a strong man like Anthony.
But in the following days, the situation gradually changed.
Under Ronald's uninterrupted monitoring around the clock, Anthony did not have any psychological or action hostility. When talking about concepts, the attitude he showed was also completely in line with action.
Until they come to the next city.
Anthony was responsible for negotiations as agreed before, and easily dealt with identity issues. During this period, there was no small move to secretly transmit information.
Only then did Ronald finally start to change his attitude.
And what plays a decisive role is the influence of being in the environment.
When traveling in the territory of the [Nine Jie Secret Meeting], no matter the size of the city or the township, Ronald found that the closer the human beings were to the capital, the more serious the ignorance of ordinary people was.
Under this kind of person's concept, there is absolutely no way to say - 'A person who is willing to risk revealing secrets to save an innocent life will never do such a thing!'
That night, the three of them stayed in the hotel for rest.
With the physical strength of Ronald and Costadt, such news is definitely unnecessary.
But considering Anthony's age.
Ronald decided to slow down a little, at least not to let the elder suffer too much in the matter of rushing to the road.
Before the break, the three of them sat together to discuss, and Ronald first asked:
"At the current speed, how long will it take for us to arrive at the capital of the [Nine Rings Secret Meeting]?"
Anthony confidently reported the answer:
"If the speed remains unchanged, we will be able to reach the capital in five days."
Costadt is most sensitive to numbers.
The next second when Anthony spoke, the maid who remembered a data said bluntly:
"In this case, we just arrived at the capital a few days earlier than those traders."
Ronald knew what Costadt was talking about.
That was the first time they went with the group of merchants they had traveled with after entering the [Nine Jie Secret Meeting]. However, the two sides talked a lot of content, so they naturally would not miss the journey and time.
But the news found at that time is somewhat inconsistent with the current reality.
After all, when traveling in the wild, Ronald and others often use flying spells.
There is no reason to be so fast.
Ronald and Costadt's inquiring eyes turned to Anthony.
Because after the meeting, the elderly performer was leading the way on the road, so the problem naturally lies with the other party.
Faced with doubts, Anthony acted calmly and even had time to drink water to moisten his throat.
“It is precisely because we are fast enough that I plan this route.”
"To be honest, not everyone supports the policy of [Nine Ring Secret Meeting] in this land. When we local old guys met privately, some people expressed their negative emotions."
Anthony is planning to seek help from others.
Ronald understood Anthony's idea. This action of relying on connections to gain an advantage is most effective. So Ronald continued to ask:
"Anthony, is there such a person on this route?"
The elderly caster nodded with a proud expression:
"It's not this route, but the city where we are staying!"
"It's just that it's a bit late now."
"In order not to make things as smooth as possible, we'd better just hand in a message now, and then we will visit us tomorrow."
After the discussion ended, Anthony wrote a reply in person and handed it to the hotel front desk for helping pass it.
Ronald activated his spell to sense the actions downstairs.
Perhaps because the hotel they stayed in was more luxurious, the staff here were very attentive to do things. After only a quarter of an hour, someone left the hotel with an envelope.
The discussion and what to do end, and the rest is naturally the rest time.
But what was surprising was that the three of them had just lie down for an hour and heard the noise of the carriage on the street outside.
Then someone got out of the car and walked straight into the hotel and headed straight into the room where the three of them rented.
“…”
In the dark room, Ronald and the other two got up without saying a word.
They knew how dangerous they were performing, so they could not sleep like a dead pig at night. So after the carriage came and walked into the hotel, they reacted together.
Soon, a knock on the door sounded at the door.
Bangbangbangbangbang—
"Mr. Anthony?"
"I'm Qiao Yin, you probably haven't had a rest yet, right?"
Hearing this voice, Anthony breathed a sigh of relief, "This is my friend's housekeeper." After explaining, the elderly performer walked up to open the door.
Costadt in the rear took the opportunity to light the oil lamp.
Ronald went around the side of the room, so that the visitor could not discover his presence at the first time.
Paz-
The door opened, and the knocker was indeed a man dressed as a housekeeper, and he bent down to apologize immediately:
"Mr. Anthony, come late at night, please forgive me for your misogyny."
"Hahaha." Anthony certainly wouldn't care, "What's the matter? I'm not old enough to be afraid of being disturbed by someone's sleep!"
"Qiao Yin, it's unusual for you to come to me so late."
"It must be the order of your master?"
While talking, Anthony also welcomed the butler and introduced Costadt's identity, indicating that he was his apprentice.
In contrast, the butler dared not take the seat at all.
He stood only in front of Anthony and spoke in a respectful tone:
"I am convinced by your wisdom."
"I came so late because the master hopes that you can go to the college tomorrow morning. Those people from the east have organized a research search and it still doesn't look like they have good intentions."
"Study and search for knowledge." Hearing this word, Anthony immediately frowned, "Will you be in the college starting tomorrow morning?"
Qiao Yin replied immediately:
“At 8 o’clock in the morning, there is no other place to arrange.”
After answering the question, the butler also added:
"Mr. Anthony, this sudden inquiry is very strange, and the master is also very nervous. If you hadn't happened to appear, we would have sent letters for help now, and I'm afraid no one would have time to come to help."
"I know." Anthony nodded, "Since the situation is tense, you should go back quickly. Tell you master, I will definitely come on time tomorrow morning, regardless of the weather."
"Thank you for your invitation." Qiao Yin bowed deeply and then hurriedly left.
When the door is closed, the carriage leaves.
Ronald quietly walked out of the shadow beside him:
"From the various actions of this butler, the situation is indeed quite urgent now?"
Anthony admitted with a wry smile:
"Of course I'm nervous."
"Because these people who are engaged in research and searching are the local supporters of the [Nine-Dialogue Secret Meeting]."
