Chapter 308: Entering the Trial
In this workshop, there are really a lot of people who don't usually show the mountain and the water.
It's okay to like the classic role of a kind old man in the office, but is it the same for Miao Li, who went out in the field with Ronald?
But if you think about it, there are actually some clues.
When faced with a witch incident involving the users of the original text, the [Book Research Society] dared to send Miao Li to act with him, which proved the trust of the Research Society in this girl.
It's just that I didn't expect it to be such a 'famous' school.
With a little subtlety, Ronald stared at the situation in the tunnel in front of him.
Oppenheim and Hughes' expressions were still tense, and they were not relieved by Mury's spell.
Obviously, the tension will not be eased by the arrival of Miuli.
In the small laboratory, the ever-changing mana power still wrapped around the test bench, but every expansion and contraction of it affected the mood of the three of them.
Little by little, time passed.
About two minutes later, Paul, who had left earlier, returned.
"Mr. Auburn, the underground location and the library's defenses have all been opened, and the news has been communicated to the Bureau of Investigation."
Oppenheim nodded in response:
"Okay, let's wait there."
"After Miao Li figured out the situation, it's time for the next action."
“……”
Looking at Muri leaning against the wall, Paul nodded and stepped back behind Oppenheim.
He also knew that Miao Li was actually a powerful spellcaster, so he stopped saying nothing and began to wait for the results.
And this situation lasted about five minutes in the end.
With a violent breath, Miao Li, who was originally leaning against the wall, instantly opened her eyes, and then bent over and gasped fiercely.
"Shhhh
"Hah-"
"No..... No way. ”
"Edward's state is quite weak, and Hal is completely unresponsive. God knows what that guy did, the stability of the original canon magic is extremely poor right now, if you want to get in, as soon as possible. ”
"Otherwise, we'll leave right away and deal with it as if it were the original canon!"
Hearing this, Oppenheim immediately turned his head to look at Ronald and Paul.
"...... you?"
Faced with such a situation, a tangle appeared on Paul's face.
And Ronald walked straight out.
"I'll do it anyway."
"I've experienced this kind of thing before, so be safe."
"And I'm leaving here soon, and passing the trial won't cause trouble for the research club."
The meaning of Ronald's words is clear.
As an outsider, even if he passes the trial of the original text, he will not interfere with the decisions of the [Book Research Society] after he leaves, and he can deal with this original book as he wants.
But if it was Paul, who had been working in the organization all along, he succeeded in cracking it.
Then what will inevitably ensue is the conflict of interests of all parties.
For a research institute that pursues stability, it is obviously the latter that is more convenient.
However, at this moment, Miao Li, who was still calming down the rhythm of breathing, spoke.
The girl looked at Ronald who was about to walk into the laboratory, and the expression on her face was obviously a little puzzled:
"Ronald?"
"You're leaving the Institute?"
Ronald smiled and replied with some embarrassment:
"The application was just made today."
"I'm embarrassed because there are things that have to be done."
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the lab.
According to the methods he knew, Ronald silently withdrew the strengthening effect of 'betrayal' in his body, and then stretched out his ungloved hand to the mana turbulence in front of him.
Thorn –
Just a momentary stinging sensation.
The image in front of Ronald began to distort, and the magic around him still pulled his body forward.
To those outside the lab, this change is exactly the same as when Edward entered the trial.
Ronald's figure disappeared into the laboratory.
Looking at the empty laboratory in front of her, with only mana entangled in the surrounding laboratory, Miao Li sighed with a low expression.
"Ahh
"Is that all there is to it?"
"It's rare for her to meet a ...... that looks pleasing to the eye"
Auburn, who was on the side, immediately spoke up and comforted:
"Let's look at it, a kid like Ronald is a young man after all, and there will be a long time after that."
Oppenheim's attitude towards Ronald is much more optimistic.
In his opinion, Ronald can use the original canon spells is not limited to one or two, which means that this is a spellcaster who has already passed the trial of the original canon, or even more than once.
In the face of the original text, this should be the safest way at the moment.
Correspondingly, Miao Li nodded silently.
Still staring at the research room in front of her, the girl didn't know what she was thinking in her deep eyes.
“……”
————
On the other hand, Ronald has officially entered the trial, as people have seen.
With the weightlessness of leaning forward, he stumbled forward, almost falling to the ground.
Not adaptable, very uncomfortable!
In order to prevent the different original texts from stimulating each other, he put away all the remaining spells in his body.
And such a result makes him feel strange now.
Accustomed to the physical strength that comes with strengthening the body, and now returning to the state of a thin young man, so much so that Ronald did not stand firm at first.
If you want to describe it.
It's like going without food all day and then being caught doing manual work.
"Whew-"
Immediately calm your mind and regulate your breathing.
Ronald looked up at the same time.
The content of this trial in the original text was completely different from the one he had experienced.
Rather than a one-to-one replica of the basement lab's environment, the trial reveals a whole new location.
- Labyrinth.
The towering, sturdy walls stood at Ronald's side, and the maze of earth and stone itself was covered with moss in many places, and with a few gentle breaths of air, you could feel in the grassy air that it was a place that no one had set foot on for many years.
And looking at the surrounding environment, Ronald subconsciously read:
"Labyrinth......
"The Labyrinth of the Minotaur......
Speaking of labyrinths, Ronald naturally thinks of this thing.
After all, the most famous labyrinth on the planet is probably this thing.
So inferred from this, is the original text of Howl's experiment actually a book related to Greek mythology?
If that's the case, then Ronald will probably have to use his hole cards.
Otherwise, once you meet the mythical minotaur.
With his current state of physical mortality, I am afraid that he will be forcibly split by the other party in an instant.
"No, not yet."
After a brief moment of thought, Ronald quickly shook his head.
The Labyrinth of the Minotaur is the most famous, but there are other myths that mention it.
It is not advisable to make rash judgments.
Before deciding on a countermeasure, let's find out the specifics.
