Arriving at Ronald's side, Raphael immediately focused his attention on the iron sign at the door.
After confirming that his companion had found the right place, he nodded and said:
"It looks like this is it."
"Ronald, are you knocking on the door or should I knock on the door?"
Ronald took a step forward to the door, stretched out his hand to knock on the door and answered at the same time:
"I'll just do this."
"If there are any special circumstances, you can take care of me from behind."
Bang bang bang——
Immediately, three rhythmic knocks sounded at the door.
After knocking on the door in the polite local manner, only ten seconds passed before a young maid quickly walked out of the mansion.
While wiping his wet hands on the apron in front of him.
She walked to the fence of the gate and first glanced at Ronald and Raphael outside through the railing.
After confirming that the two men in front of her were still young and not fierce in appearance, she asked with a somewhat confused tone:
"You two, are you...?"
Ronald immediately replied:
"Hello, is Mr. Elva Sherwood at home?"
"I came to Springs from Burrenwich, and I have some questions I would like to get answers to from Mr. Elva about the yearbook he presided over last year."
"If possible, I hope you can help spread the word."
After hearing Ronald's answer, the maid immediately lowered her head and started thinking:
"Burrenwich..."
"Yearbook..."
"Ah, I remembered it!"
"It's the yearbook edited by Mr. Elva!"
Retrieving what Ronald said from the corner of her memory, the confusion in the maid's eyes immediately began to fade away, and the defensiveness in her movements was not as obvious as before.
After standing behind the gate and hesitating for a moment, she replied hesitantly:
"You two, I know your purpose of coming to Mr. Elva."
"But the school hasn't finished classes yet, so Elva isn't at home either. I wonder if you two have made an appointment with Mr. him in advance?"
"Um......"
After trying hard to recall, the maid continued:
"If I remember correctly, when Mr. Elva went out today, he probably didn't tell any guests to come and visit him."
"So I suggest you..."
boom--
Suddenly, Rapel, who was behind Ronald, struck decisively at an extremely fast speed. Almost before the other party could react, she successfully knocked out the maid on the other side of the door.
The entire movement is precise and rapid.
And he knew the maid's physical reaction just right.
It will not cause serious harm, and it can also ensure that the opponent cannot wake up for a short time.
Completely unable to resist, I didn't even realize what was happening.
The maid who had been preparing to give Ronald some advice just closed her eyes and fell down.
"..."
Face the scene before you.
Ronald couldn't help but look back at his companion.
Based on the distance between the two of them, he was very sure that Raphael's arm was not long enough to reach across him and hit the maid directly. This guy must have used magic to change his body structure.
—— Let’s analyze further.
This is likely to have the same origin as his ability to change his body shape and appearance.
They are all spells extended from "The Structure of the Human Body".
While Ronald was watching him, Raphael had already stepped forward without a care and stretched his arm into the gap in the fence of the gate. At a completely reverse angle, he turned his arm and grabbed the door lock from the inside.
.
Click——
Easily, the door opened.
Lapel walked into it first, and while lifting the unconscious maid on the ground, Rapel said to Ronald:
"Come in quickly, there's something wrong with this woman."
"..."
Hearing such words, Ronald's expression changed.
Realizing that things were different from what he expected, Ronald immediately turned around and locked the door, and then followed Raphael into the mansion.
Dragging the unconscious maid into the living room.
There is nothing special about Elva's mansion that deserves attention.
Ordinary furniture was placed unremarkably in the house, with buckets and rags placed on one side of the corner, and there were even water stains on the ground that had not yet evaporated.
before the two of them arrived.
This maid should be cleaning the house.
While carefully looking at the structure of the room, Ronald checked whether there were spell traps or anything like that, and at the same time asked Raphael who was standing over the dining table:
"Lapel, what's wrong with you?"
"Is there something wrong with this lady?"
At this time, Rapel was busy laying the maid's body flat on the dining table in the living room, making sure that the female body in his hands was placed securely, before he turned to Ronald and explained:
"What else could it be?"
"This guy is almost dead!"
about to die......?
When she opened the door for them just now, the maid acted completely normal.
Ronald saw no sign that she was about to lose her life.
After briefly looking around the room to complete the inspection, Ronald immediately walked to Lapel:
"are you sure?"
"Didn't I think she was quite normal just now?"
"It just looks normal on the surface." Faced with Ronald's inquiry, Raphael shook her head with a very confident attitude, "Our school studies the human body, so I am very sure of her physical condition."
"If we just leave it alone, this woman will live like a normal person for the next week."
Ronald asked:
"So, it will be different in a week?"
Raphael nodded with certainty and said:
"Yes, it will be different in a week."
"After the internal organs of the body reach the most extreme state, this woman will lose her life within an hour, and no one can save her by then."
"..."
While the two were talking, Raphael didn't stop moving his hands.
After tearing off the maid's clothes, he immediately began to perform some simple treatments on the maid.
Since all the mysterious methods were used, Ronald could not do much.
He simply walked to the edge of the window and stood there to protect Raphael behind him from the wind.
After all, the current situation is not suitable for being seen by strange people.
Leave aside the actual situation.
If the current scene is seen by an outsider who doesn't understand, it will be a young boy in his teens who is doing something inappropriate to the unconscious maid!
However everything went very smoothly.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, Raphael straightened up from the dining table after finishing her work.
During this period, no one suddenly broke in and disturbed his treatment of the maid, and Ronald, who was guarding the window, did not see anything suspicious passing by.
After checking the body of the maid in front of her for the last time, Lapel breathed a sigh of relief:
"call--"
"The most troublesome thing is over."
"At least a week later, this lady will definitely not lose her life inexplicably."
