LR417 – March – 1.

On the first day of the new month, Ronald left the boarding house early in the morning and habitually looked at the mailbox at the door.

Three rolls up of newspapers.

A daily citizen, a Queen's Daily, an Arts Weekly.

With Ronald's sense of smell, he could even smell a little ink printing.

But on top of that, there was a white envelope, apparently delivered to the apartment this morning.

And seeing the letter, Ronald raised an eyebrow.

Ordinary people could only tell that it was a mailed letter, but it seemed to him that the white page had a mark printed on it with mana. The person who left the mark was quite skillful, and there was not even the slightest bit of mana leaking.

Mysterious people with weaker observation skills will miss this mark if they don't look at it specifically.

And Ronald can spot this imperceptible thing.

Or is it because when I communicated with the big witch before, the other party specifically mentioned this matter.

“……”

"Lady Teresa......?"

Muttering to himself, Ronald thoughtfully reached for the letter.

In fact, the previous events were the same as he had estimated.

When the witch incident was over and he and the investigators returned to Springs, the big witch who was originally out of the city with Ronald really didn't go back, and then the [Twelve Witches] also said that the big witch was unwell, so she needed to return to the school to recuperate.

And the current letter seems to confirm this.

Ronald opened the envelope with one hand, and in addition to the expected stationery, there was also a brand new [Gert] note issued in Springs, with a denomination of one dollar.

Let's take a look at the contents of the letter:

Dear Ronald,

I'm sorry not to say goodbye.

But for people of my age, once all kinds of old diseases occur, the body and bones really can't hold on. The money in the envelope was the rent I had paid for my apartment during that time, and I hope to pay it on my behalf.

Looking forward to seeing you again.

Your loyal friend.

Teresa Russell

P.S.

I still have unfinished tea on my desk, which I brought from my hometown and mixed with local flavors, if you don't mind, you can try it. 】

"If you pay the rent, you will give more to [Depp]......"

“……”

After reading the text on the letter, Ronald raised an eyebrow.

While communicating with the Great Witch, he told the old spell caster about the text encryption method, and he also communicated with each other.

And then according to the grammar of the language of this world......

In the last incidental word, there seems to be a shadow of this encryption method.

Walk out of the street with the letterhead.

Ronald subconsciously rubbed his temples.

He had always had a good memory, and he could recall the original exchange, and he could still remember the Virginia cipher from that experiment, and a few lines of the transcription.

Barely trying to translate it, the content is-

[--Your table--mezzanine, put down-gift,—— to pursue--truth,—— please accept this ——,—— believe - it must be helpful to you. 】

“……”

"Fluid mechanics is really handy stuff......"

Standing stunned, Ronald stuffed the letter and coins into his pocket, and then continued to walk towards [Vis University].

Although not all the characters were translated, the general meaning is obvious.

The Great Witch left a gift on the mezzanine of the table.

Of course, Ronald has no intention of turning back to his desk now.

Now as a Primal Text Holder with 'Powerful Combat Power'.

You don't have to guess to know that the Bureau of Investigation has special personnel to observe your movements, and if you want to study the contents of the table, you should wait until you come back in the evening.

————

The work of the Scroll Study Society has not changed much.

Normal reading books, normal help with research, normal arguments between the practitioners, and then normal commuting to and from work.

In such a research institution, Ronald's life has not changed in any way, and the fighting on the beach has not affected the research society's attitude towards him.

In this way, the day's work day passes quickly.

When Ronald returned to the apartment in the evening, the landlady was wearing a pair of glasses, sitting in the courtyard holding a book and reading attentively, with the pen and paper she used to take notes next to her.

Ronald glanced at it, it was a composition type book, and there was no overlap with his knowledge at all.

So he stepped forward, and Ronald pulled out the coins he had received this morning from his pocket.

"Miss Cynthia, this is the rent of the former Mrs. Teresa."

"She was in a hurry, so she entrusted me to pay the rent for that time."

Hearing Ronald's voice, the landlord girl immediately put down her book and looked up, with a somewhat restrained smile on her face:

"That's right."

"Ms. Teresa, I've lived for more than a week but it's not even two weeks, and there are no problems with the interior of the room, so it's good to count it as a week."

With that, Cynthia took the coin, touched the side pocket of her clothes, and then immediately got up and walked to her room.

"Mr. Ronald, I don't seem to have any change on me, come with me to the house and get some change."

Hearing this invitation, Ronald smiled slightly:

"I'll just wait here."

“……”

Successfully accepting the change, Ronald said goodbye to Cynthia and walked up to the third floor.

Hanging his coat on a hanger, he went straight to the balcony and closed the curtains.

After blocking out the sunlight and sight outside, he began to toss the desk in the center of his room.

Considering the Great Witch's style, he prefers that the 'gift' mentioned in the letter be in the mezzanine of his desk, otherwise this 'gift' will most likely be taken away by the Bureau of Investigation after the Great Witch leaves the apartment.

And as it turned out, Ronald's guess was in line with the idea of the Great Witch.

Just below the top drawer of his desk, Ronald quickly found an extra thing.

- It was a sheet of paper clipped to the bottom of the cabinet.

So carefully pull out the page.

Ronald looked at what was written on it with a serious look.

[Large-scale solid and standardized luminous loud channel method planning diagram .......]

“.....”

"Okay......"

Looking at the black and white pages in front of him, Ronald scratched his hair with a wry smile.

It's still the encryption method they used before.

However, compared to the text on this morning's letter, which still has meaning after encryption, the text on the page here is obviously much more rusty, and it is obvious that the work of the Great Witch after she has just learned the encryption method.

In other words, some time long before going out of town.

The Great Witch had already prepared this 'gift', and now she told Ronald about the existence of the gift after paying the rent.

It can make this canon holder have this attitude......

What the Great Witch wants to tell him is probably very important.
