"I found a book here!"

"There are some patterns that resemble a magic circle, but I can't make out the exact meaning."

"Rapel, I think this thing should be about whether we can get out of this house, you know anything like this?"

In the most concise statement.

Ronald told his companion about his discovery.

And across the wall, La Pel on the other side also quickly understood the current situation.

After only a little thought, he replied to Ronald across the wall:

"Ronald, I probably have some ideas."

"But you should give me a rough description of what the pattern on that book looks like, so that I can draw a final conclusion!"

“……”

Ronald immediately turned the pages of the book, made sure that he was correctly described, and said:

"The main outline of these patterns is basically made up of several quarter-round arcs, and within this frame, there are no straight lines at all except for two triangles nested together, and almost everything that remains is a combination of curved lines!"

“……”

Listening to Ronald's general description, Rapel, on the other side of the wall, immediately replied loudly:

"You wait first, I'll think about it!"

“……”

Immediately, Lapel also fell into deep thought.

Judging from Ronald's description, the pattern depicted in the book does not involve the text, so this thing is probably just a medium used to activate power, rather than a magic circle with power itself.

Without the essence of the object that provides power, any magic circle is nothing more than a fragile castle in the air, and it is impossible to produce such an effect.

In that case......

If it's true that what Ronald says, what is written in the books is about whether they can get out of here.

Then what is recorded on the page is the circle that affects the change of the house.

As long as you follow this thing to find the source of the anomaly, that is, the thing that really houses the caster's mana, all problems will be solved.

Thinking of the problem, Rapel immediately shouted at the ridiculously hard wall in front of him:

"Ronald, go find something with the same texture engraved as the pattern in the book!"

"Use the book in hand as a reference now, and find a way to find and destroy the source that sustains all of this, so we can put an end to this spell!"

"Everything is done in Montenegro!"

On the other side of the wall, Ronald clearly heard Rapel's thoughts, and immediately responded:

"I see!"

"I'll take care of the rest, and you stay safe over there."

Rapel immediately replied:

"I'll look for it as much as I can on the first floor."

"Be careful over there, too!"

“……”

The words landed, and the two of them turned to leave the stairs at the same time.

Ronald didn't want to delay for even a second, and immediately prepared to go to the second floor, looking for what Rapel said could correspond to the circle on the page.

However, simply look back.

The sight in front of him sent chills down his spine.

As far as he and La Pelle had said a few words, a wall appeared at the end of the corridor on the second floor, completely separating the two rooms at the end of the house!

It all happened silently.

It's like blocking the walls of a staircase, all without Ronald noticing.

“……”

It seems that time is running out.

Realizing this, Ronald walked briskly towards the room on the right side of the stairs.

He had already gone through the study just now, so he was sure that there was nothing resembling a magic circle inside the study.

In this case, the target of the search naturally becomes the room of the owner's house on the second floor.

It is the bedroom where Elva Sherwood herself lives.

By any angle, this room is the most suspicious right now.

So he aimed at the locked door, and Ronald went up and kicked it.

Bang –

This rather violent kick kicked the door open in an instant.

The poor door hung miserably on the doorframe, and unlike the walls made by mystical forces, it was still what it was.

Ronald then rushed into the bedroom.

The interior of this room is still in good condition, and the walls that have appeared twice have not affected the area.

His gaze swept over the space in front of him.

With a bed leaning against the wall, a desk under the window on its side, and a wardrobe leaning against the wall, everything is neat and orderly in a quiet room, and there is hardly anything that can be seen at a glance.

But to say the Phalanx......

Considering that the spell rippled throughout the house, Ronald's gaze was first locked on the ceiling and ground.

Based on the actual data he had seen in the Investigation Bureau before, this kind of large area was the most suitable place for placing things like magic circles.

It's like people on the mysterious side like to build secret places underground.

Eye shifts, first at the top of the room.

The ceiling was so clean except for a chandelier that there was hardly anything to be seen.

Instead, under that bed, a carpet was laid that was spacious enough.

“……”

"Uh-huh?!"

Suddenly, Ronald felt a chill in his back.

It wasn't that someone had cast an offensive spell on him, or that it was the feeling of slashing at him.

It's simply behind him, as if something suddenly is there?

Turn your head and look.

The sight in front of him made Ronald's heart tighten.

A cohesive wall was already unconsciously towering over the gate behind him.

It didn't take more than ten seconds to walk in.

Even this bedroom is enclosed by the wall!

If the position where this wall appeared was moved two meters further, Ronald himself would probably be stuck in the wall that suddenly appeared.

For now, you can only trust your own judgment.

From this room, find something that interferes with the whole house!

Realizing this, Ronald no longer hesitated, went up and kicked the bed again.

Bang!

Under the enhanced power of the Divine Comedy, the seemingly sturdy and calm bed was instantly kicked up, and the carpet on the floor was immediately exposed.

Without even having to walk over, Ronald waved one hand, and the black mist that spread immediately lifted the carpet completely from the ground.

"Sure enough......"

Seeing the scene in front of him, Ronald breathed a sigh of relief.

There's nothing special about the back of a shaggy carpet, but that's not the case with the floor under the carpet.

- He saw the exact same pattern as the one in the book.

Silver notches are embedded deep into the floor, and in the center of these notches is a round object with a metallic sheen.

Ronald's idea, or rather the information and data provided by the Bureau of Investigation, is completely accurate.

Interfering with the magic circle of the entire house.

Right in front of him!
