Now that he was in the air, Ronald simply didn't land.
With the awakened spellcaster and two companions, he flew straight to the west of the city.
On the way, they also chatted with the awakened person for a few words.
I learned that the other party's name was Gautier, and he was one of the core decision-makers of the original "Nine Rings Secret Society".
It was just because of the changes in the organization that he had disagreements with the new president.
On the premise that the crime did not lead to death, he was impeached and then imprisoned in the prison at No. 6 Cassel Street.
It was not until Ronald and the others rescued him that he was relieved.
…
In this way, the three Ronalds and their temporary companion Gautier came to the west of the city. Looking down from a high place, most of the things that came into view were single-family houses or villas, with few shops and markets.
business unit.
There is no need to think too much about this situation.
You can tell at a glance that it is a core community where upper-class people live.
Gautier, who once lived here, had complicated eyes, but he was determined, so he quickly pointed out the direction for Ronald:
"Over there, that terraced building with the blue-black roof, it's just a disguise!"
"The organization has a secret research site below, where the "Book of Interpretations" and the team that studies it are located."
The moment Gautier spoke, Ronald was sure that what he said was true.
In this luxurious residential area, most homes have basements.
But the building that the other party was pointing to at the moment had a space underneath it that was second to none, and there were signs of the caster's activities inside.
"Let's rush in directly!" Ronald made a decision simply and neatly.
Then the four people suddenly accelerated in the air and rushed towards the pavilion like meteorites falling from the sky.
The reconnaissance of [Star Map] eliminates the trouble of finding the downward passage.
Ronald aimed at the entrance to the basement, launched a spell and took his companions to the ground vertically.
boom--
There was a loud noise, and the terraced building penetrated from the roof to the ground.
The door that originally led to the basement was badly damaged by rough treatment, as if someone had stabbed it down from the air with an iron rod, creating an irreparable hole in the house.
As for the area around the residential area...
Among the residents living here, there are indeed very capable magicians.
But in the early hours of this morning, there was another thunderstorm and another mass riot. Now in the chaotic city, even if they heard such exaggerated noises coming from the community, no one was willing to meddle in their own business and come out to check.
At the same time, Ronald and the other four landed smoothly in the basement.
In the smoke and dust, Costart took a step forward, waved his sleeves lightly, and blew away the dust caused by the intrusion. The true appearance of this underground space was revealed in front of them.
The information provided by Gautier is absolutely correct.
The underground space below the row of buildings is a mysterious side laboratory that occupies a large area. There are also several smaller rooms scattered around, which appear to belong to the researcher personally.
The moment Ronald and the others broke in.
Some of the spell casters originally stationed here fell to the ground in surprise, while others were preparing to cast spells to attack the intruder head-on.
"Stay where you are and don't make any moves!"
The next second, Ronald's scolding spread out underground with the power of words and spirits.
Regardless of whether these spellcasters were preparing to resist or were in panic, they were all instantly controlled by the spell and lost control of their bodies.
"..."
Ronald's eyes swept across the basement. He was very satisfied with the effect of the spell and was about to go forward to conduct a search.
However, before he could take formal action, Gautier on the side exclaimed:
"Wait! Why isn't Krakow here?"
"Wasn't he ordered to only stay in the laboratory with the original code and never leave here without permission?"
Hearing this exclamation, Ronald suddenly felt that something was wrong.
In the underground laboratory, except for the magicians who were performing their respective tasks, there was no trace of the holders of the original code!
——The Book of Interpretations is, after all, an original text.
[The Secret Society of Nine Rings] uses it to decipher other original scriptures, and there must be a holder of the Book of Interpretation.
As for the enemies here right now, none of them are worthy of the title.
So what about the Book of Interpretations and its bearer?
The first thing that came to Ronald's mind was that Gautier had been imprisoned for too long, so the information he knew was different from reality. Perhaps the "Book of Interpretations" had been moved to other places for research.
Moreover, Ronald also felt the subtle psychological state of these spellcasters controlled by the spirit of speech.
While Ronald was thinking about the problem.
Investigator Nicole has taken a decisive step forward. She writes runes with her fingers, causing a thread-like magic flow to sweep gently across the room.
A few seconds later.
Nicole turned to look at Ronald and told her discovery:
"There were signs of the existence of the original scripture here a day ago. The Book of Interpretation was suddenly transferred!"
"..."
With such bad news before their eyes, the three people who came here felt a little heavy.
But Gautier, who had just been released from prison, did not do this.
He walked forward quickly, grabbed a spellcaster controlled by the spirit of words in his hand, and yelled:
"Tell me where Krakow has gone!"
"..."
There was a trace of fear in the eyes of the caster caught by Gautier.
He wanted to say something, but being suppressed by the spell, he was unable to speak or make any movement.
Seeing this situation, Ronald silently canceled his control over the spellcaster.
Feeling that he could speak, the guy stared at Gautier and spoke hesitantly:
"Go, Mr. Gautier."
"Yesterday, the president took important personnel of the organization out to do business, and asked Mr. Krakow to temporarily change their stay to prevent any accidents from happening while they were away from the city."
Regarding his own freedom and future, Gautier shouted anxiously and angrily:
"Then tell me where he has gone now!"
The helper who was dragged by him replied in a low voice:
"I...I don't know."
"Damn it!" Gautier threw the opponent to the ground, the anger in his eyes undisguised.
He knows that his value to Ronald and others lies in finding the location of the "Book of Interpretation". If he cannot complete this task, then these strong men who can save him from prison will also be able to save him again.
Take away his freedom and even his life!
"I said, don't be so anxious." After witnessing the scene in front of her, it was Nicole who persuaded Gautier, "Since he has only been away for a day and is still in this city, let's find him.
alright."
"It's not a big deal."
Things seem to be on track, and the three of them are about to continue looking for the "Book of Interpretation" hidden in the city.
But at this moment, Ronald interrupted Nicole:
"Nicole, please wait."
Under the puzzled eyes of the investigator girl, Ronald said in a serious tone:
"Analysis from today's experience."
"I think there is a high probability that we have fallen into each other's trap!"
