Without any prejudice, in Ronald's opinion, the book "Connthorpe Chronicles" is basically worthless. It is probably just the author's record of past history.
Among them, the most noteworthy thing is the content about the "Nine Precepts Secret Meeting".
Could it be said that Hal has also investigated this information?
Go contact him and see if you can find out more information about this organization?
This is really an interesting discovery...
Just when Ronald was analyzing the pros and cons and thinking about this issue.
A clear sound of footsteps came from the corridor outside.
The owner of the voice made no secret of his intentions and came straight to Ronald's office.
Only a few seconds passed.
Hughes, who had said hello before, opened the door and walked into Ronald's office.
I saw the surgeon looking around in the office, and then he said very simply:
"Mr. Ronald, I know that you are a canon holder who is good at fighting."
"For various reasons, I have something to ask of you today."
Ronald looked normal and nodded noncommittally:
"Please tell me."
"This is a task that will require you to trouble for a while." Seeing Ronald's actions, Hughes took the initiative to place an envelope in his hand in front of Ronald.
Ronald picked up the envelope from the table, opened it curiously, and then looked at the contents on the letter:
"Is this mission important?"
Hughes nodded affirmatively:
"That's right. This mission is very important, and among the research groups, you are the best candidate for this mission."
Watching Ronald begin to read the words on the letter.
Hughes didn't mind the trouble, and then began to introduce the specific contents:
"This is a message from above."
"Recently, the Investigation Bureau was searching for the rebels of the [Original Witches Coven] in the city. As a result, the [Twelve Witches Coven] heard that their hostile forces had signs of activity, and actually sent one of their great witches to the city. The reason was to recover
The original text that I lost in the hands of these madmen."
"This reason is not problematic in principle, but in practice it will definitely cause trouble. As an official force, we [Scroll Research Association] were also assigned tasks in this incident."
After Hughes explained, Ronald also finished reading the letter in his hand.
There is no difference between the content and what the practitioner in front of me said.
So he nodded to express his agreement.
Ronald opened his mouth and continued:
"No problem. As one of the parties involved that night, I am indeed the most suitable candidate for the meeting."
"But since I represent the [Scroll Research Society]..."
"So what attitude or method do I need to use to join in?"
"Don't worry, we are just a research institution after all."
"It's nominally because I'm familiar with these schools of thought, so I'm going to provide some intellectual help."
"And you won't be alone. Miss Miao Li will act with you. Although she is not good at fighting, she is definitely a first-class talent in terms of knowledge. I believe that you will have a faster cooperation."
Ronald continued to ask:
"Any specific details you would like to add?"
Hughes smiled and shook his head:
"No, I've told you all the things you need to pay attention to. Now just follow the instructions in the letter. As for Miss Mu Li, she's already waiting for you downstairs."
"Okay." Ronald said, tidying up the books, standing up, and walking towards the door. After all, Mu Li was waiting for him downstairs, and he didn't want her to continue sitting there. Of course, before leaving
Before entering the office, he looked back at Hughes one last time, "Then... I'll take my leave."
With that said, Ronald turned around and left the office.
Looking at Ronald's retreating back, a smile appeared on Hughes' face.
Then he left and helped Ronald lock the office door.
————
When Ronald walked downstairs, he easily found Mu Li sitting on a chair in the library's reading area.
And it’s different from when I informed myself at noon.
Currently, Miu Li is wearing a black shirt, a red mesh vest, and a pair of slim-fitting trousers. She looks very young and beautiful, and has directly attracted the attention of many male college students around her.
But corresponding to it.
It was the expression on Mu Li's face that was a little awkward.
She seemed unaccustomed to the way she was dressed at the moment and the attention of people around her. She was so cramped that she couldn't even read the book in front of her.
Seeing this scene, Ronald immediately stepped forward and greeted her:
"Miao Li, I'm here."
Mu Li raised her head and first noticed the jealous looks of the male college students around her. Then when she saw that the person in front of her was Ronald, she forced a smile:
"Ro...Mr. Ronald."
"I didn't expect you to come as well. It's... really nice."
Ronald nodded as gently as possible:
"Yes, I hope we can have a happy cooperation."
"..."
Nodding and standing up, Mu Li put away the books and walked to the bookshelf nearby to find a place to put them away. Then she asked with some anxiety in her voice:
"Mr. Ronald, if we leave tonight..."
"Where to go first?"
Ronald replied calmly:
"Miss Miao Li, let's go to [Practical Electric Power Communications Company] first."
"As someone who is going to be in contact later, at least the two parties need to communicate."
Mu Li was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the [Practical Electric Power Communications Company] Ronald mentioned was the Bureau of Investigation:
"Yes...ah...that's right."
"We should go there."
Seeing that Miu Li was unable to move without being pushed, Ronald ignored the glances of the people around him and simply turned around and led the way out of the library:
"Then let's go."
"The sooner the better, it may be inconvenient to find the carriage later."
"Okay." Mu Li nodded, and then followed Ronald's footsteps.
The two of them left the library together. After leaving the gaze of the male college students, Mu Licai seemed to have made up her mind and whispered to Ronald beside her:
"Mr. Ronald, I have actually heard a little bit about you."
"Why are you in this city?"
This was not a shameful thing, so Ronald replied simply:
"Because I want to investigate something."
"About our 'books' and 'people' things."
Miu Li nodded with a subtle expression, and then murmured in a low voice:
"So that's it..."
"..."
In silence, the two walked out of [Vice University] together.
Until they found the carriage and got on it, Mu Li didn't dare to say a word.
