Just like when he was at work in the past, Ronald entered [Weiss University].
Walking slowly towards the library.
But when he came to the door of the library, there was a man sitting on a bench beside the road leading to the library, which attracted his attention.
——It's Hughes.
"..."
Looking at the other party's figure, Ronald raised his eyebrows.
He was a little concerned about the scene in front of him.
As a spell caster of the [Scroll Research Society], there is no reason for Hughes to appear here at this time.
He was sitting on the bench outside the library in the middle of the day. He was not a student who found some free time at noon and then went out to take a rest.
This... isn't he just waiting for me?
So when Ronald's steps slowed down a little, and he was thinking about whether to go up and say hello.
Hughes saw Ronald coming from a distance.
The spellcaster from the [Scroll Research Society] stood up on his own initiative and walked directly towards Ronald.
"Ronald, you're here."
Ronald also greeted:
"Yes, Mr. Hughes, why are you sitting outside?"
"You're not waiting for me specifically, are you?"
"That's not true." Hughes shook his head in denial, and then continued, "But since you're here, it's just right."
"I have heard Mr. Oppenheim tell you the specific things."
"But because there is a new original book in the seminar, he has been busy with some related matters recently, so he may not be able to spare time for your affairs today."
Ronald's expression froze.
His impatience seemed to result in his trip being in vain.
I received the letter yesterday and arrived today. Sure enough, it was still a bit sudden?
"is that so……"
"It seems that I came at the wrong time today."
Smiling coquettishly at Hughes, Ronald said hello and planned to leave.
However, behind him, Hughes suddenly spoke:
"Wait, Ronald!"
"If you don't mind, maybe I can take you on this trip today."
"I still have quite a lot of time these days, and I should be qualified."
While speaking, Hughes always had a wry smile on his face.
Ronald also understood what this expression meant.
Hughes' current situation must not be good.
Although he is a dominant research leader, the presence of a guy like Hal among his researchers has caused big trouble. Now that Hal himself has died in the original trial, Hughes, as the leader, will naturally be in trouble.
, in an organization of this nature [Scroll Research Society], he was afraid of running into obstacles everywhere recently.
It is obvious that Absolute Hughes cannot start his work as smoothly as usual. In this case, it is natural for him to lead him.
So Ronald bowed slightly:
"In this case, I will trouble you today."
Hughes immediately turned around and walked towards the library, while responding to Ronald:
"Then come with me."
"Because the matter is more important, let's go inside first to register and notify."
Following in the footsteps of Hughes, Ronald naturally had no objections.
There were hardly many students in the library at noon. They went directly to the second floor to fill out the forms, and then completed the procedures with the help of [Scroll Research Association] staff.
Although Hughes has been in a bad situation recently, his real identity has not changed at all.
All procedures were handled with ease.
When they saw the staff starting to operate the telegraph machine, Hughes and Ronald walked out together.
As he left the library and headed outside [Visius University], the middle-aged man chatted and sighed:
"This era is really different from the past."
"I remember when I first came here, this kind of thing was applied for and approved in advance, and then we had to negotiate and agree on a time to determine the specific implementation plan."
"But now with the new machine, as long as you complete the advance application, you can contact the other party at any time within the time limit. You can also freely choose when to go."
"What an amazing invention..."
Ronald quite agrees with what Hughes said:
"With the advancement of science and technology, people's lives will inevitably become more convenient in the future."
"Having this kind of technology is a good thing for everyone."
Hearing Ronald's very affirmative tone, Hughes also smiled in agreement.
But then, a hint of melancholy appeared on his face:
"Good for everyone..."
"Ronald, as a book holder, do you think this matter is also true for our side?"
"Of course." Ronald replied without hesitation, "For something like this that concerns the entire human society, you can't just focus on a specific group of people. Overall, this must be a good thing!"
"..."
Hughes' eyes were a little complicated, and then he fell silent.
He didn't expect that Ronald, the holder of the original code, would say such a thing.
Compared to the caster on the mysterious side...
This view is more like the answer of a human being in ordinary society.
In silence, the two walked out of [Vice University] together, and then came to the street outside the school.
On the way, Hughes took a look at Ronald's clothes and commented that Ronald's dress aesthetic was very good.
Probably because of his role in guiding Ronald.
This time Eusius stopped a carriage, and they rode in together.
After sitting in the carriage, Ronald couldn't help but ask:
"Mr. Hughes, where is our destination this time?"
Hearing this question, Hughes showed a meaningful expression on his face:
"Ronald, the place we are going to this time is the place where you and I both serve."
"Only in that kind of location can such an important thing be properly kept."
"Do you understand?"
"..."
Without saying a word, Ronald simply nodded.
Of course he knew what Hughes was talking about.
The only one they work for together is Queen Danterian.
The true ruler of Greed.
Sure enough, the value of prophecy spells is unquestionable, whether for individuals or other situations.
Even the queen who was described as a 'monster' by Heloise was also very cautious about the use of this kind of thing.
While Ronald nodded in confirmation, Hughes also shouted to the driver driving the carriage:
"Sir, let's go to No. 47 Crown Road, [Brussela]."
"OK--"
Upon hearing Hughes's instructions, the coachman immediately drove the carriage forward.
As for Ronald, who was sitting in the carriage, his thoughts at this moment also shifted to the destination that Hughes had just mentioned.
He also knew about the shop named [Brusella].
While living in Springs, Ronald occasionally heard the name of this store from people around him.
It was the largest jewelry store in Springs.
Of course, it is operated in the name of the royal family.
This is the kind of jewelry store where ladies and gentlemen alike are proud to have excellent jewelry.
