In mid-July, the message of the cult warlock's emergence spread throughout the city.
However, when the time comes to the end of the month, the impact has stopped under the control of Springs' public opinion, and the city has returned to its normal rhythm in a blink of an eye.
Faced with the persuasion of two people who had completely opposite positions, Ronald went to the church and spoke in a more implicit way.
mean.
The attitude of the church...
Can't be unexpected.
I can only say that they are as generous as ever in the face of Ronald.
It was clearly a great gift from the saint, but less than three days after Ronald spoke, the sword wrapped in black cloth was sent to his hands, and the time for return was not mentioned in his words.
Isn’t this what you mean by just using it casually?
However, unlike the church's absolutely friendly attitude, Springs official side is a bit subtle. Although Ronald and Queen Dantrian met that night, they even got some suggestions from each other.
But since that day, nothing has changed around Ronald.
Every day, I stayed in the office to "protect" my work as usual. There was no re-submitted investigator staff near the mansion, and there was no other possible changes.
This attitude of 'doing nothing'.
It is also the situation that Ronald feels the most difficult to deal with.
Just in this kind of entanglement, time comes to the day approaching August.
Ronald half-lying at his desk, looking through today's newspapers. Outside the window behind him was the busy streets of Baixing District. Although he no longer cared about the impact of the weather, the smell of the city after summer was still called
He can't like it.
At this moment, Heloise leaned close to him and lay on the table.
Then the eyes were intertwined with Ronald's dull gaze:
"Ronard, I heard that a new store in the commercial area will be opened tonight. Let's go and have a look together?"
Ronald nodded in agreement before asking:
"What store are you talking about?"
While wrapping his fingers around his hair, Heloise explained to Ronald: "It's a shop called the Dontes Gift Store, which specializes in selling rare things shipped from overseas colonies. I'm quite interested.
.”
When Elaine, who was originally working on the documents, heard the name of the store and looked up.
I witnessed two adults lying on the desk, lying like salted fish.
The investigator girl shook her head slightly before speaking:
"For the Dontes gift shop, it should be a store opened by an old man who retired from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He is also one of the insiders of the mysterious side. You won't get anything interesting there."
“…”
"Tsk..."
Because the two faces were very close to each other, Ronald clearly saw Heloise's expression collapse and then curled his lips.
Still lying on the desk, the former spy lady spoke:
"Elaine, I really just want to go and see it. Don't think wrongly. A countryman like me who has never seen the world after leaving the mountain village will always be curious when he encounters such new things."
Elaine showed a completely disbelief expression, then picked up a stack of documents and started processing: "I wish you a happy shopping trip, Miss Phileas."
Reaction in the face of Elaine.
Heloise still lay on the table and shrugged at Ronald.
"That's it..."
The afternoon is spent in bored daze and hard work.
After dinner, the three left the office of [Ginkgo Leaf Business Alliance] in Baixing District, and then walked towards the next commercial district.
In fact, these days have passed, and Ronald and Elaine have reached a certain tacit understanding.
Their mode of getting along is basically Ronald and Heloise walking in front and doing what they are preparing to do. Elaine keeps a distance from the two behind and makes observations without affecting both parties.
Although they did not ride in the carriage, the three of them were definitely not slow to travel.
Soon, they came to the commercial area and found the Dontes gift shop that Heloise mentioned.
In terms of first impression, this store is definitely awesome.
Not to mention the popular areas of the commercial district, the decoration design of the shop itself has been put into practice. The guests who came here to support the shop on the first day of its opening are all upper class people.
In such an environment.
Ronald was not dissatisfied with this day.
The environment without a dance party attracted attention, and he and Heloise tried not to dress up too well. In this case, no one in the gift shop was paying attention to them except for the waiters.
Heloise and wandered around the shop.
It is actually no problem to say that it is an opportunity to experience a leisurely life.
The gift shop has a variety of products, and the number of fakes is very rare. In this shopping experience that everyone loves, Heloise's eyes are constantly attracted by interesting products.
"Ronard, look at this! This is the spoil that Greed's army fought against the local natives in the Great Shrimp Forest before he had the chance to seize!"
Hearing this long list of introductions, Ronald immediately raised his eyebrows:
"You mean, this gift shop can still get military trophy?"
"It's just a normal deal with trophy." Heloise immediately shook his head and denied it, and then explained to Ronald, "It's impossible for you to count on the army itself to turn it into wealth."
"The musical instruments of natives, fresh animals and plants, and 'Medals' that can demonstrate the identity of the winner, such as this type of thing, they are basically packed up and processed to specific people at a low price, and then received
The goods use their abilities to turn them into money."
Hearing this, Ronald was interested:
"I heard what you mean... this kind of industry is still developing quite maturely?"
"It's not just Greed, but most countries are doing this, but Greed has the most overseas colonies, so the profits are the most." Heloise admitted, and pointed happily.
He pointed to the native musical instrument on his hand, "Ronard, buy me this, I'll blow it to you when I go back!"
Ronald nodded without hesitation:
"Of course it's no problem!"
Just when the two were talking and laughing, a man who was not very handsome and also visited the store passed by them.
The two sides passed by, and there was no difference between them and the countless figures in the gift shop.
But there are still differences in details.
Just as he passed by, the man showed a very gentlemanly smile on his face, and then spoke in a voice that only each other could hear:
"Mr. Ronald, I'm going to go to the appointment tonight."
