Second Thursday morning in March.

Ronald was going to apply for a suspension from the work of the Book Research Society.

With his current situation, the collection of books in the library of [Vis University] is basically finished, and Ronald naturally has no intention of continuing to waste time here.

And these days down.

He also sorted out a lot of useful things.

The basic original texts that the [Nine Rings Secret Society] may hold, the methods of performing spells that are better and more advanced than in the past, and the historical documents that are almost impossible for outsiders to consult, can be called quite good gains.

So after sorting out what he needed, Ronald left the apartment with a briefcase.

Compared to last month's weather.

The temperature in Springs is still slowly rising, and ordinary people can walk around the streets without feeling unbearably cold as long as they wear two clothes, inside and out.

Still without a horse-drawn carriage, Ronald walked to [Vis University].

Walking straight to his office on the second floor of the library, he knocked on the door of an office.

Bang Bang

"Mr. Auburn, are you there?"

Auburn is short for Oppenheim's name.

After getting acquainted with it, the old man didn't seem to like all the bytes of his name when people called him, so he usually abbreviated it.

In the room, the old man's gentle response soon came out:

"Ronald, is it? Please come in. ”

Pushing the door open and walking into the office, Oppenheim was sitting alone behind his desk, with a sauce-rich steak in front of him.

You can't eat in the office......

Thinking of the rules on the library's side, Ronald couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

However, this old man is the person in power of the [Book Research Society] after all, and it is inconvenient for him to say anything as a person who is about to leave.

So with a smile on his face, Ronald took out the prepared separation papers from his briefcase and placed them on Oppenheim's desk.

"Mr. Auburn, please take a look."

“……”

"This is ......"

Picking up the papers from the desk, Oppenheim flipped through them generously.

However, when he saw the words of the resignation application, the old man showed a clear expression on his face, and immediately closed the document and put it down.

Gently pushing the plate containing the steak away, he crossed his hands in front of him.

Then his eyes looked seriously at Ronald in the office:

"Ronald, you're leaving the Institute."

"That's right." Ronald nodded, he knew that the old man in front of him was a powerful spellcaster, so he had no intention of deceiving the other party, "Because of some personal matters that need to be dealt with, I will definitely not be able to commute to work on time every day like I am now." ”

Oppenheim nodded:

"Do the work and get paid."

"During this time in the workshop, we have also seen your performance. Although we still hope to continue to cooperate, since we are entangled in trivial matters, it is not easy for us to insist on it. ”

"So...... Mr. Ronald. ”

"Thank you very much for your work and dedication during this time."

"If you have the opportunity, you are still welcome to join the research group in the future."

As the words landed, Oppenheim stood up from behind his desk and saluted Ronald with great courtesy.

Ronald also returned the salute: "Thank you for your understanding. ”

Sitting back in his chair, Oppenheim continued:

"I'm going to sort out the paperwork I need to leave now."

"Ronald, you can go down now, pack your things by the way, and say goodbye to your friends at the same time."

Ronald nodded slightly, turned around and left the office:

"See you later, then."

"See you later."

“……”

Oppenheim's attitude was no different from what Ronald expected.

Regardless of whether he joins or leaves, the [Book Research Society] always has a pretty good attitude towards him.

That's what you get as a spellcaster with an original text.

And after the verification of Ronald's behavior during this time, at least the official power of Springs has confirmed his safety, and the stalking outside the apartment has long been removed.

Now he is suitable to start the investigation work in the city.

Entering the basement in a rather good mood, Ronald said goodbye to several researchers with whom he had a good relationship.

In fact, the personnel changes of the [Book Research Society] are also quite frequent.

Except for those who have positions or research topics to be responsible for, many people have changed their jobs for a period of time, and external transfers and mobility often occur, and Ronald's departure naturally did not cause twists and turns.

But when packing up your things and walking out through the underpass.

Ronald passes by Researcher Howl's lab.

Hal was the one who was short and fat and had offered to go through the trial of the canon. Even at such specialized research institutes, such a caster made a fairly clear impression on Ronald.

So when passing by the other party's laboratory, Ronald subconsciously took a look at the situation.

Eyes swept over, and Ronald paused.

"Uh-huh......?"

It was such a simple glance that slowed Ronald's footsteps.

Through his extremely keen perception, he sensed that a dangerous stream of magical energy was condensing, and that his current situation was very precarious.

"It won't be so bold......"

Combined with the previous experience, a premonition rose in Ronald's heart.

When he was working at the University of Wills, the Book Research Society was also a 'conscientious company' for him, and if something really happened, he wouldn't be unmoved at all.

So to be on the safe side, Ronald walked over with a bag of luggage, then reached out and gently pushed the door down.

Click-

The door opened.

Worried that he might disturb the other party, Ronald carefully lowered his voice.

However, when he looked into the laboratory, he knew he didn't need to be so careful.

In the medium-sized personal laboratory, the side of the test bench was completely covered in the furious mana, surrounded by a galloping light blue air current, and there seemed to be a book-like thing wrapped in the depths of the mana.

As for why there was only a faint feeling just now......

That's because the laboratory of the [Book Research Society] has a special design to isolate mana, the purpose of which is to prevent some emergencies from causing excessive damage.

But this ......

If you really want to continue, this kind of design is afraid that it will not be able to resist.

After this period of study, Ronald is well aware of what this picture means.

This is a sign that the original canon is strongly stimulated and is about to go berserk.

And the owner of this lab, Hal.

After Ronald opened the door, he was not in the house at all.

This guy ......

Eighty percent of them are trying to open the original scripture trial by themselves!

So he closed the door neatly, and Ronald turned his head and walked deeper into the passage, while reminding loudly:

"Everyone, attention, there's something wrong with Hal's side!"
