After leaving the warden's mansion, the mission of Ronald and the others is completed.
Now they were not dragged into the dungeon by the enemy. The two priests in the dungeon were also rescued, and they were rescued alive.
The development of everything seemed to be in line with their best expectations before taking action.
The whole process is safe and efficient.
The results are also very good.
However, just when the three of them left the fence in the backyard of the mansion and stood on the street in the forest, Swift suddenly turned around and looked behind him.
——That's the direction of the warden's mansion.
——It is also the location of the main entrance of this mansion.
The eyes seemed to be looking at something in the air. A few seconds later, Mr. Detective’s somewhat complicated voice sounded in Ronald and Nicole’s ears:
"My friends."
"It seems that our previous choice was indeed the right one."
"Warden...he's back..."
As soon as Swift spoke.
The small team of three suddenly fell into a tacit silence.
Of course they knew the dangerous nature of this operation and knew they might run into trouble.
But the problem is that the warden came back too quickly.
Based on the situation obtained from previous investigations.
It would take at least a few hours for the other party to complete the normal work process, and the probability of returning to the mansion now is almost zero.
The only explanation is that the other party was aware of what happened in the dungeon.
I'm here to arrest someone.
The three of them looked at each other, and they all saw a trace of happiness in each other's eyes.
There is no doubt about it.
Ronald's choice just now was correct.
If they really continue to explore the dungeon and delay leaving the mansion...
Then when the warden returns home at this time, he will definitely block them inside the dungeon!
On the home court of a codex controller, fight this enemy head-on.
Definitely not a wise choice.
"..."
In silence, a few more breaths passed.
As if wanting to break the silence, Nicole still spoke first:
"What we just said probably didn't trigger the other party's early warning spell, right?"
Ronald immediately replied:
"We did not trigger the other party's early warning spell."
"But the two cult warlocks who were later eliminated should have had enough time to act. I am afraid that after they discovered the situation, they used their unique contact method to pass on the news, so the warden rushed back immediately at this time.
.”
Nicole nodded in agreement:
"If you explain it this way, there is no problem."
After the words fell, the investigator girl stood on the spot and moved her body.
Lifting the priest up and changing her position to a comfortable position, she continued:
"In that case, let's go to the Investigation Bureau as soon as possible."
"Now that the warden is back, he will definitely do some corresponding things to deal with the next situation when he notices something strange. Our time is still quite tight."
In the meantime, hear Nicole's thoughts.
Swift simply walked to the street, and then said to his companions behind him:
"I'll just call a taxi and you take care of the two priests."
As he said this, Mr. Detective had already walked to the side of the road, and then started to stop the taxi on the side of the street.
It’s also time to take advantage of Swift’s opportunity to call a taxi.
Nicole approached Ronald and said in a very serious tone:
"Ronald, Swift and I will take the priest back to the station."
"But as you say, I hope we can act separately."
"..."
After hearing the investigator girl's suggestion, Ronald raised his eyebrows:
"did you mean……"
"You want me to hide?"
"That's right." Nicole nodded without hesitation, and then continued to explain her thoughts, "Ronald, this is a suggestion I made out of safety considerations."
"Although everything is going smoothly on our side now, in the more than a year since I have been working for the Investigation Bureau, I have encountered a sudden turn of events more than once, and then the original plan was completely broken."
"What's more, what we have to deal with now is one of the strongest spellcasters in Berenwich and a very influential figure in the political circles."
"Bach Klitchens."
Having said this, the investigator girl's eyes shifted to Swift who was hailing a taxi on the roadside, and then continued to explain:
"If something goes wrong today."
"Swift and I are both people who left very significant traces in this matter."
"The messages Swift left behind when collecting intelligence, as well as the residual spell fluctuations I just performed in the dungeon."
"These are traces that cannot be erased."
"As long as interested people investigate deliberately, we, who have a certain reputation in Burrenwich, will almost inevitably run into trouble."
At this point, Nicole paused in her explanation.
The girl's deep eyes gradually shifted from the detective to Ronald in front of her.
Then he took a serious attitude and said in a very cautious tone:
"Ronald, you are different."
"In the whole incident, except for the actions of the three of us today, the rest of the time you were exposed to the mysterious side of Burrenwich, you were still mostly that 'powerful magician', and no one would take it seriously. I put a suspicious eye on you."
"after……"
Nicole's eyes were a little dim, but she continued:
"If something goes wrong between me and Swift, then all my hopes are pinned on you."
"Just consider this my last precaution as an investigator."
"..."
After Nicole finished speaking, she stood there and stared at Ronald quietly.
She was waiting for a reply from the man in front of her.
While looking at Nicole in front of him, Ronald felt a little complicated now.
To be honest, he was a little touched by the investigator girl's seriousness.
When the three of them completed their goals and were about to usher in the final success, Nicole still maintained her own calmness and thinking.
She was even considering that if something went wrong again, she would have to leave a hope in advance to change the situation.
Even among all the different kinds of people Ronald had met.
This trait is also quite rare.
Finally, he nodded seriously to Nicole:
"no problem."
"Leave this kind of thing to me."
Essentially speaking.
Ronald is not the kind of person who craves honor or hopes to bring fame to himself through such things.
If it's really possible.
He would rather be alone, sitting at a desk in a warm room on a snowy afternoon, holding an interesting book and reading slowly, opening the window from time to time to smell the cold wind outside.
My experience in the past two months.
To be honest, he was forced to act by circumstances.
So confront Nicole's thoughts.
He could accept this suggestion without any problem.
Putting the priest next to Nicole, he turned around and walked to the other end of the street.
And behind Ronald.
Nicole and Swift, who called the carriage, discussed the situation in a low voice for a few words.
They also understand the importance of caution in such matters.
So they got on the carriage, and the two men took the unconscious priest and headed towards the Burrenwich Bureau of Investigation.
At the same time, on the road at the edge of Linzhong Road.
Ronald walked slowly into the distance alone.
His figure gradually left.
No different than any other passerby walking around.
