After being stunned for a moment, Ronald pointed at himself, and then asked cautiously:
"Did I hear wrongly?"
The big witch smiled and shook her head:
"I mean it."
"Their intention is very clear. They want you to guarantee that I will not do anything extraordinary in the springs. I can completely understand and be willing to accept such a request."
Then you don’t have to live with me, right?
Ronald swallowed, his brain spinning rapidly, thinking about how to refuse this matter.
Although he joined the [Scroll Research Society], he had no intention of working so hard. Living with someone with the status of a great witch would be great fun if something unexpected happened.
Still standing in front of Ronald with a calm expression, the Great Witch continued to smile and said:
"Mr. Ronald, you don't need to be too nervous."
"At least I won't do anything dangerous in the Springs. I only want to live with you because it's rare to have direct communication with people who hold books."
"If you'd like, we can share some knowledge with each other."
"..."
"Oh well."
After a moment of silence, Ronald finally nodded and agreed.
Although I didn’t understand the other party’s true purpose, sharing knowledge was indeed something that impressed him.
As the leader of a mysterious organization, the Great Witch is definitely the most ideal communication candidate in terms of knowledge and information.
"I'm glad you agree to this proposal."
Hearing Ronald's answer, the big witch nodded slightly, then smiled and handed over a ring:
"Take this first."
Ronald took the ring and showed curious eyes.
"This is...?"
The big witch smiled:
"This is a small prop I made. Both parties carrying it can determine each other's position through the ring."
"Of course, this has a certain distance limit."
"..."
Ronald nodded silently, and then tried to inject magic into the ring.
Soon, he felt a vague sense of connection coming over him, and the target was the big witch in front of him.
After a few words of very casual conversation, the two immediately stopped the carriage and headed to the riverside area where Ronald lived.
However, on the way out, the big witch still looked back from time to time.
that direction.
It is No. 1 Guanguan Road, where Tianhai Palace is located.
————
After a smooth journey back to the riverside area, the two got off the carriage and stood on the side of the street where the apartment was located.
Turning her vision and looking around, the big witch sighed again:
"It's been so long since I've said goodbye to this place."
"Although everything else is changing, the Vis River has always maintained its appearance."
Ronald nodded slightly:
"This city is indeed developing very fast. Municipal planning and various new technologies are being applied within the city. However, it seems that there are no plans to repair the rivers here."
"..."
Hearing such an answer, the great witch was stunned for a rare moment.
Turning her head and taking a serious look at Ronald in front of her, her tone suddenly became a little complicated:
"Mr. Ronald, do you also know something about these aspects?"
Ronald nodded generously and replied:
"I'm just more interested, so I did some research."
The great witch was silent again.
After a few breaths, she answered in a very serious tone:
"Mr. Ronald, there are not many people on the mysterious side who care about this aspect like you, especially those who hold books."
From the moment he picked her up at the train station until now, Ronald also had a general understanding of the way the great witch spoke.
So he shook his head without hesitation:
"Living in a city like this, I think it's better to know these things."
"And in my opinion, it's not just Springs."
"One day in the future, perhaps the entire world will embark on such a path, and it is not certain that understanding these things will become common sense among people."
"..."
As soon as the words came out, Ronald felt that the atmosphere between the two became subtle.
It seemed different from what he thought.
After hearing these words, the big witch's expression became uncontrollably disappointed.
It looks like...
It was as if Ronald's speech just now denied something very important.
But soon, the mysterious holder of the original code adjusted his condition, and then bowed slightly to Ronald and said:
"Sorry, Mr. Ronald, I was a little out of control just now."
"At this age, as a person who is still exposed to many things and has to be responsible for them, it is inevitable that I still have some feelings."
Seeing the big witch lowering her head to apologize to him, Ronald quickly waved his hands and replied:
"No, no, no, I spoke too rashly."
"Those just now are just my own guesses and have no other meaning. I hope you don't misunderstand."
"..."
After hearing Ronald's answer, the big witch raised her head and glanced at him, then showed a meaningful smile:
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
"..."
Ronald nodded slightly and then took the lead into the apartment.
It was still this afternoon, the landlady was going to school, and most of the other residents were not at home. Looking around, I could only see an old man in charge of security sitting in the courtyard, and a few children playing.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong here, Ronald immediately pointed to the spiral staircase leading upstairs, and then said to the big witch:
"Ms. Teresa, what do you think of this place?"
"..."
The Great Witch did not answer Ronald immediately.
Instead, she walked into the courtyard with steady steps, and then gently closed her eyes.
"Um……"
Reflecting the movements of the great witch, an imperceptible breeze blew around the apartment.
From Ronald's perspective, this scene was a powerful caster checking the environment. The power of the spell that echoed throughout the space spread rapidly with the breeze, almost like a plow, and then gradually disappeared into nothingness.
Ronald was very skeptical.
Under the loose robe of the great witch, those hands were hidden.
Perhaps she is holding the original book that belongs to her right now!
At the same time, this scene did not arouse any suspicion in the eyes of others.
Take these ordinary people in the apartment as an example.
When the breeze created by the spell blew by, they all still maintained their movements, completely unable to notice the change in the environment.
In this way, the formless 'wind' finally faded away completely.
After confirming the environment of the apartment.
The big witch turned around, smiled at Ronald, and expressed her decision:
"As a new visitor..."
"I also hope that Mr. Ronald, you can help me find a suitable rental price."
