Upon hearing this reminder, Nicole's keenness as an investigator immediately responded.
Not only did she instantly understand the meaning of Ronald's words, she even realized the problems she might have had after the two met, "What are these guys doing to you? And in their calculations, they even included me."
Involved?"
Nicole frowned. From the analysis of her experience in just a few hours, she felt that things were not simple:
"If this is the case, then this is definitely not caused by a simple hostile relationship."
Ronald nodded seriously:
"Yes, before coming to this city, Costat and I actually raided an overseas island of the Nine Rings Secret Society and discovered a lot of important information there."
"Even the president of the [Nine Rings Secret Society] will make the choice to leave the capital with all the core staff, and it is very likely that he has connections there."
After Ronald finished speaking, Nicole opened her eyes wide.
The next second, she raised her hands to cover her ears and started shouting:
"Don't listen, don't listen, don't listen, I don't know anything!"
"I just heard about the whereabouts of the "Book of Interpretation" today, so I am preparing to raid these guys, so there is absolutely no possibility of it being involved in other messy things!"
After shouting for a few words, Nicole lowered her voice.
The investigator girl, who was well aware of the cruel reality, then put down her hands covering her ears and accepted the reality helplessly and sadly:
"Forget it, I've heard this already, I can't pretend to know anything anymore."
"Ronald, tell me, what exactly did you think of, and what happened to that so-called island?"
Seeing Nicole adjust her mentality, Ronald spoke again:
"On that island, we, or the [Nine Rings Secret Society], discovered the ruins of the temple from the witch-hunting era. Among them were the city where the church headquarters was located at that time - the Holy City. The original church personnel, and the people of Barrier Mountain
Wizards made a very similar choice, they tried to create gods..."
Ronald broke the news to Nicole as succinctly and comprehensively as possible.
The investigator girl listened patiently, and the expression on her face changed from helpless to a dead silence.
Until this information is handed over.
Nicole pulled a chair from the laboratory, sat down with her legs crossed, and began to analyze the intelligence in her hand:
"So the current situation is that both you and the [Nine Rings Secret Society] know the existence of this holy city."
"But because they were already inland, they set out early to look for the city. And knowing your actions, they tried to make some countermeasures to delay your pursuit of them?"
Nicole's analysis completely corresponds to Ronald's thoughts.
Ronald nodded and agreed with the investigator girl's reasoning, and then continued:
"Under the premise of knowing the existence of the Holy City, the only thing that can delay my pursuit is their "Book of Interpretation."
Nicole jumped up and squatted on the chair, and began to torture the hair on her chest with her hands:
"I can understand this logic, but why did you include me in it?"
"I'm obviously operating in secret. It's impossible for these guys from the [Nine Rings Secret Society] to know my existence. And even if they knew, how could they guarantee that I would involve you in the "Book of Interpretation" route?"
Nicole looked pretty crazy.
She was very dissatisfied with the possibility of falling into the opponent's scheme, and at the same time felt uneasy that she had affected Ronald's actions.
After figuring out the key, a powerful wave of magic power erupted from Nicole's body.
She directly wrote the runes with her fingers, directly mobilized the power of her original script, and began to predict the related possibilities.
Then, the investigator girl's changing expression confirmed that Ronald's guess was correct.
Divination spells via simplified versions of runes.
Nicole was sure that she had fallen into the scheme of the [Nine Rings Secret Society]. The "Book of Interpretation" left in the city seemed to be the biggest bait to delay them here and not pursue the people who left the city!
The reason why Ronald and she fell into the trap without knowing it was actually because their actions were predicted by the [Nine Rings Secret Society] in advance using a large-scale prophecy spell at the expense of their money!
With the result of her understanding of the matter, Nicole immediately cursed and complained:
"Damn it, damn prophecy!"
"When this thing is over, I have to come up with a rune that can counter prophecies. Otherwise, who can survive this kind of life?"
[The Secret Society of the Nine Rings] has also demonstrated their ability to predict spells before.
But Nicole really didn't expect that the other party would use such a precious opportunity for a simple misleading behavior at this moment.
"So Ronald, what do you say?"
At this time, Nicole looked at Ronald again. But unlike her previous appearance, the angry investigator girl exuded a dangerous and angry aura from her eyes:
"Should we continue looking for this damn original book, or should we turn around and leave the city immediately to cause trouble for those sick-minded guys!"
Nicole hasn't given up on The Book of Interpretations.
Even though she understood that this was a bait set by the [Nine Rings Secret Society], she still asked this question.
Because "The Book of Interpretations" is indeed something worth people's time.
For the casters on the mysterious side, their own value can completely surpass that of the Holy City where the information is still unclear.
Faced with the choice between the two, it is inevitable for anyone to hesitate.
——This is a naked conspiracy.
——A test exclusively for people on the mysterious side.
In response, Ronald showed a confident smile:
"Nicole, don't put too much pressure on me."
"Since they dare to put these two things in the open, then we will teach them a lesson."
Nicole heard the meaning of Ronald's words, and her tone soon became a mixture of reminder and ridicule:
"Ronald, that would be a bit greedy."
Ronald raised his hands and made a strong fist-clenching movement at the same time.
"hehe--"
"Only children make choices, I want them all!"
Ronald was joking, but it's really just that simple.
He will definitely go looking for the so-called Holy Capital, but at the same time, Ronald is not going to let go of the bait thrown by the other party!
Nicole has always had an out-of-character personality.
After Ronald expressed his position, she immediately abandoned her anger and jumped up from her chair to applaud Ronald enthusiastically.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo Reading recently to catch up on books, change sources, and read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]
However, Costat next to him was very puzzled by Ronald's choice.
The maid walked up to Ronald:
"Sir, even if we continue to pursue the investigation, we are just biting the bait set by the other party in advance, and then continuing to waste time under the misdirection that it seems to be making progress, but in fact it is standing still?"
Ronald patted Costat on the shoulder:
"These guys have really good ideas, and they even spent a lot of money on it."
"But Costart, we don't necessarily have to follow each other's rules."
"As long as we break through the other party's preparations, it's not that difficult to take care of both!"
