At least in Ronald's opinion, the person responsible for the security of Springs has quite reliable professionalism.
Under the premise that the enemy is on the ship, some people set up ambushes up and down the river to prevent the target from escaping. Some people stayed at the commanding heights of the dock to monitor the location and transmit information at all times; others were ready to go as soon as the cargo ship arrived.
Launch a thunderous offensive.
And Ronald's current position is behind the investigator responsible for the frontal attack.
The group of people was led by the one named Crewe just now.
Neatly leaning against the shadow of the pier.
Except for the two pure magicians who were very obvious with their bare hands, almost everyone else took out their own weapons from the inside of their clothes.
--pistol.
"..."
What should I say?
Seeing this scene, Ronald felt a little emotional.
The people in this big city are indeed different. Almost all investigators here in Springs carry pistols, and quite a few use them as their main weapon.
This is probably a concrete manifestation of the progress of the times.
However, during this ambush stage, Ronald suddenly discovered something different.
Since he had always maintained his 'furious' detection ability, he was always paying attention to the status of the two enemies on the ship.
Now......
In just an instant, the panic and fear in the hearts of these two guys completely disappeared.
What causes this result?
Lowering his voice, Ronald was about to speak.
However, at the same time, on his right hand, the mark of "Paradise" flashed on the skin again.
The power of the original code gradually spread, and it also reminded him.
The environment Ronald is currently in meets the requirements of the second trial [Mercury Sky] among the nine trials.
Only a few days had passed since the first trial of "Paradise" was activated, and Ronald once again encountered the conditions for activation from a mysterious incident.
this......
With the experience last time, Ronald naturally decisively started this trial.
then--
The verse recited by a soft female voice once again sounded melodiously from Ronald's heart:
“Here I will show the truth;
Please listen attentively and keep it in your mind,
Because if you don’t remember it after listening, the knowledge will not take shape.
The presence or absence of the sacrifice mentioned above depends on two factors:
One is the sacrifice itself;
The second is the conclusion and observance of the covenant.
The second element is that the covenant can only be terminated after the parties to the covenant fulfill their obligations.
I have already explained this in detail without any ambiguity.
..."
The elegant female voice gradually dissipated in his mind, and the content of [Mercury Sky]'s trial was immediately understood by Ronald.
——Enter a covenant and suffer for others with your own body.
"..."
Faced with such a sudden trial, let's take a look at its contents.
Ronald immediately realized that their ambush had been exposed.
The change in the mentality of the two enemies must mean that the people on the dock have been noticed by them, and the other side is also preparing counterattack spells.
And more importantly.
All this is currently known only to Ronald himself.
So, what Ronald was about to say immediately changed. Looking at the investigator in front of him, he asked:
"Kru, we are allies on the same front now, right?"
Ronald's words immediately attracted the investigators' attention.
Although he was a little confused, he immediately turned sideways and looked at the original holder and nodded:
"certainly."
"Mr. Ronald, did you find anything?"
Ronald replied with a serious expression:
"The enemy has discovered our ambush, and my detection spell has confirmed this. If you don't mind, let me take the lead."
"..."
Hearing Ronald's answer, the investigator's expression was obviously very surprised.
But considering the influence of many factors, he still nodded and gave way to Ronald's casting position.
"Of course there's no problem with that."
"But if you do it, please don't."
Seeing that the investigator accepted his suggestion, Ronald immediately felt happy.
That'll do it...
According to the description in the trial, you don't even need to lock in victory. Now you only need to go up and take the initiative to suffer to achieve the requirements of the [Mercury Sky Trial].
So Ronald stepped forward, waved his hand, and the black mist hidden under his clothes appeared in his hand along with the original book.
"Its name is Styx.
The black water flows down to the foot of the dark and steep cliff.
…”
As soon as he finished speaking, a small amount of black mist instantly spread out from under Ronald's feet and soon covered the surface of the Vis River in front of him.
The dark night is the best cover for his magic.
Except for the part of the area illuminated by the dock, the black mist formed by the power of 'Rage' immediately blended into the same color as the river water at this dark night, making it almost impossible for ordinary people to detect such a dangerous thing.
Of course, except for the investigators who saw Ronald casting the spell.
Although he is the person in charge of the mysterious side of Springs, for them, a genuine original holder is still very rare.
Watching Ronald summon the black mist.
Then within a few breaths of time, we successfully covered a fairly wide area of the Vis River.
Probably the result of professional influence.
They all became alert in unison.
Such is the power of spellcasting by the holder of the Tome...
Ordinary people, or even weaker mystical spellcasters, have almost no possibility of dealing with this kind of enemy. The gap between the two sides is really too big.
If you face such an enemy head on.
Perhaps even counting all the investigators currently present, they would not be Ronald's match.
Today's night is really unique...
During these few breaths, Ronald's spells continued to change. The spreading black mist surrounded the ships where the two enemies were, and the other parties had lost their way to escape.
And this time I am working with investigators.
Ronald is equivalent to getting permission to attack the ship and can cast spells with confidence and boldness.
Check the enemy's situation again...
One, two, three...
The emotional perception brought by the power of 'Rage' is very keen.
So when the black fog spread over, Ronald also knew the specific situation on the ship.
In addition to the two enemies, there were five other people originally driving the cargo ship.
This is no different from the previous tracking, just avoid innocent people.
But that's what Ronald thought.
Among the cargo ships on the Vis River, in its open cabin, a faint female voice sounded:
“On the night of the full moon, sing the sound of joy;
When the moon is waning, walk against the clock to imitate the howl of a ferocious wolf.
On the night of the new moon, double kiss the hand of the goddess;
When the moon reaches its peak, face the pursuit in your heart.
When the north wind is strong, lock the door and set sail;
The wind blows from the east, feasting and looking forward to new things to come;
When the south wind blows, love will caress your lips;
When the breeze from the west whispers in your ears, your soul will be eternally peaceful."
