The speed of information transmission among spellcasters.
Of course it's much faster than a train running on rails.
So when Ronald took Costate and Il and got off the train at Burrenwich Railway Station.
On the platform, Patricia and several investigators had been waiting here early.
Ronald didn't even need to guess, he knew that the Black Mountain Town Investigation Bureau must have passed the news to Burrenwich.
"..."
"Ronald, I'm so glad you're coming to Burrenwich!"
Among the group of people who greeted them on the platform, it was naturally Patricia who stepped forward to say hello. After all, she had the best relationship with Ronald among everyone present.
And facing this friend of mine.
Of course, Ronald could not treat him coldly.
He also smiled back, and while getting closer to Patricia, Ronald told her the reason for his visit straight to the point:
"Patricia, I have some things that need to be handled south."
"So I may have to catch a ride on the fleet going out to sea this time."
Patricia immediately expressed what Berenwich meant:
"Ronald, we welcome this very much!"
"..."
Since it was known in advance that Ronald was going to Burrenwich, a strong man like him would not feel uncomfortable here.
Before the train arrives, all the corresponding arrangements are in place.
So after the two exchanged greetings after meeting, Patricia took Ronald and the three of them directly to the place prepared in advance.
While on the road, Patricia sat in the carriage and began to tell Ronald the information that he didn't know before. This is information that only those who have confirmed that they want to join the overseas team are qualified to know.
.
"Ronald, a total of three ships have been prepared for this trip to Burrenwich Port."
"One of the vessels was undertaken by the Church and carried their personnel, while the other two were entirely provided by Burrenwich."
Ronald asked curiously:
"The two ships on the Burrenwich side shouldn't all be investigators, right?"
"Of course." Patricia nodded and admitted Ronald's conjecture, "One of the two ships brought all the spellcasters who worked for Greed, while the other ship brought a little more.
investigators, as well as some of the magicians who showed kindness to Grid."
"Then I will be arranged on this ship?" Ronald immediately understood his arrangement in the team going out to sea.
"Theoretically, that's the case, but if you have plans to take other ships, we will never stop you." Patricia continued to nod her head and admitted, but at the same time she also revealed Greed's attitude towards
Ronald's liberal attitude.
After all, I really want to strictly manage a being like Ronald.
Considering the actual situation, it is too difficult to implement this kind of thing.
"..."
After receiving such a reply, Ronald naturally nodded with satisfaction.
After confirming his arrangements in the fleet, he shifted the topic to the detailed departure date:
"Patricia, what's the exact departure time of the fleet?"
"For the public, naturally it will be a week later." Patricia first reported an official date, but then she lowered her voice and changed her words to Ronald, "But our actual departure date is three days later.
In the early morning before the sun rises. Taking advantage of the cover of night, all participants must get on the boat and leave the port before the sun rises."
Ronald smiled noncommittally:
"It's obviously an official action, but you still have to lie about a date?"
Facing Ronald's complaints, Patricia also looked helpless:
"If I were to decide the departure date, of course I wouldn't do such unnecessary things. But that's what the planners of the trip to the sea thought at Springs, and everyone else had no choice but to carry out the order as instructed."
Ronald then sighed:
"It seems like it's not easy for you here either."
"..."
The journey after that was naturally smooth sailing.
However, when he saw the residence arranged for him in Burrenwich, Ronald was still a little excited.
——It's an apartment rented out by Mrs. Hudson.
Although he only stayed there for three days, Burrenwich obviously took his feelings into consideration and helped him book a residence here.
Especially when the door to the apartment was opened and I saw the landlady’s seemingly unchanged figure again.
Ronald couldn't control his emotions and enthusiastically stepped forward and held the other person's hand:
"Mrs. Hudson, long time no see!"
"Yes, Mr. Ronald. The last time we met was about a year ago."
The landlady obviously did not forget her tenant just because of one year. After greeting Ronald with a smile, she looked at Costate and Il behind Ronald with a subtle look.
"And... Mr. Ronald, it seems that you have quite a lot of experience in this year."
"Not only did Miss Patricia help you rent my apartment, but now you also brought such a cute and energetic girl with you?"
"..."
Forget about what Patricia said.
But when Ronald heard Mrs. Hudson teasing Costart and Il behind him, his expression was really uncontrollable.
"Mrs. Hudson, this is really a misunderstanding!"
"Them...the two of them..."
At this point, Ronald's tone was still hesitant.
After all, in his impression, the landlady was still the generous elder she was before, and she didn't know much about the mysterious side of things.
However, after thinking that these wizards had begun to publicize their existence throughout Grid, Ronald finally explained straightforwardly:
"Mrs. Hudson, you should be aware of the recent rise of wizards, right?"
The landlady immediately understood what Ronald meant:
"So these two lovely ladies are powerful people who can use magic?"
Ronald nodded, and then declared with emphasis:
"They're not even human!"
"..."
Even an elder like Mrs. Hudson opened her eyes wide for such an answer.
He looked at Costate and Il with disbelief.
Finally, through the beauty of these two guys that was completely beyond ordinary people, Mrs. Hudson reluctantly accepted this reality:
"It's... it's amazing."
"Mr. Ronald, I have other tenants here. If you can, please don't make too much disturbing noise in the past few days."
"Don't worry, I will never cause any trouble to other customers!" Ronald quickly patted his chest to assure himself.
Then he sent away the investigation bureau personnel who sent him here.
After taking Costate and Il back to the room where he once lived, Ronald sat down on his very familiar bed and couldn't help but recall the past in his mind.
I think back to the first time I came to this world.
It was in this room that I gradually got to know the world and made my own friends...
