Chapter 338: The First Night
Things are going well tonight.
The Bureau of Investigation attaches great importance to the identity of the holder of Ronald's original codex, and on time in the evening, people who specialize in responding to the incident come to negotiate intelligence and related information with Ronald.
When the conversation was over, the people from the Investigation Bureau were sent away.
Ronald grabbed his coat casually, slung one hand over his shoulder and walked downstairs.
Leaving the apartment, I went straight to the place I had agreed with Heloise.
Sure enough, he saw the girl standing under the tree.
However, compared to the previous time of separation, Heloise still carries a small bag around her waist, and it seems that she took advantage of this time to go back to get it.
While putting his coat on, Ronald greeted the girl:
"Thor, I'm here."
Heloise also responded:
"Looks like you're going well here?"
Ronald nodded:
"It should be said that it went pretty well."
"Things are going exactly as expected, and it's time for us to go."
The words landed, and Ronald turned his head to lead the way away.
However, Heloise, who was behind him, immediately stopped Ronald at this time:
"Ronald, don't worry."
"I wanted to ask last time I went out with you at night."
"Don't you have any weapons that are handy?"
“……”
I don't need a pistol......
It was only when he heard Heloise's inquiry that this idea first came to Ronald's mind.
In his opinion, hot weapons such as guns are far more effective than cold weapons, and they are also the choice made by professionals such as investigators.
If you have a weapon, you should naturally consider the firearm as the first target.
Take a step back, of course.
If you really have a cold weapon, it will definitely be better than using your bare hands.
Just a few seconds after Ronald hesitated.
A meaningful smile had already appeared on Heloise's face.
The girl didn't ask much else, but simply opened the satchel, and then took out a handful of things and stuffed them into Ronald's hand:
"Take it, it should be fine for you to use these."
"Hey......?"
Taking what Heloise handed him, Ronald looked down.
Among them were a dagger wrapped in a leather scabbard, two metal capsules the size of buttons, and a quaint amulet pendant.
That's all that Heloise handed Ronald.
Looking at these rather visual objects, Ronald couldn't help but speak:
"If I'm not mistaken, the last time I was in Montenegro, you gave me these things......"
"Do you have any rules and regulations when providing supplies to others?"
Hearing Ronald's complaint, Heloise immediately raised her eyebrows, and her tone was slightly raised:
"What are you kidding, this time is completely different from the last time, okay?"
"Although there is no difference between these emergency medicines, look at this dagger and this talisman, they are all much better than last time!"
“……”
Listening to Heloise's tone, Ronald immediately lowered his head to recognize it.
- Things are really different.
The pattern on the dagger has changed from plant to wave, and the pattern of the amulet is far more complex than the one he had obtained before.
It's a pity that it wasn't explained.
Ronald couldn't tell what they were really useful for a short time, he hadn't learned how to make magic items after all.
So Ronald immediately spoke:
"Thor, introduce me."
"I don't recognize you when you say that."
"Then you'll listen." Looking at Ronald's humble attitude of asking for advice, Heloise nodded with satisfaction, and then pointed to the thing in his hand, "What about this dagger, the lines engraved on it are blessed with a disturbance effect, if its blade pierces the enemy's skin and touches the blood vessels, then the opponent's body functions will be disordered to a certain extent, and the more fragile guys will even directly lose their combat ability." ”
"As for this amulet......"
With the introduction, Heloise's gaze shifted to the intricately patterned talisman pendant, and the girl hesitated for a few seconds before continuing to speak seriously:
"In addition to stabilizing the wearer's mental state, it also has the ability to inhibit pain nerves for a short period of time."
"But Ronald, don't use this thing too much."
"It's going to be addictive."
“……”
Ronald immediately had bad associations.
The spells used by Heloise were originally closely related to medicine. Then the effect that this talisman can play, I am afraid that the effect is not much different from that of a certain medical medicine to some extent.
So he put down the talisman with a serious expression, and then hid it in a close place.
Ronald finally opened his mouth to confirm:
"Now let's go, no problem, right?"
Heloise gave a sly smile:
"Of course—"
"From today onwards, I'll be yours for at least five nights."
“……”
"Don't say things so easily that people want to be crooked, okay?"
After giving Heloise a blank look, Ronald took the lead and left the street where the apartment was located.
Their first target tonight was a school called St. Jolia.
This is also where Elva once worked.
Considering the rules for the appearance of members of the [Nine Rings Secret Society], the first position that Ronald was more suspicious of was the academy where Elva once worked.
At the same time, places like schools with plenty of space.
It is also a place that is more suitable for Tibetans.
If Lumir were to be abducted to such a place, it would be relatively easy to arrange and not easy to be discovered.
The location of Santa Jolia is in the riverside area, not too far away.
Less than half an hour away, Ronald and Heloise came here.
It's nightfall.
Normally, the nights on the Springs side are relatively prosperous.
Even at this point in time, many students can be seen around the academy who do not go home, but stay nearby to do activities.
Some of them were locals who had lived in Springs and then studied there, while others had come to Springs from elsewhere to pursue their studies.
Walking in such an atmosphere will also make people feel good.
So while the 'rage' force was investigated, Ronald and Heroise pretended to be talking and laughing and blended into the academy.
Ronald's reconnaissance tonight is quite extensive.
Almost more than seventy percent of his mind is spent on processing information.
And the work of leading the way and guarding the surroundings was naturally handed over to Heloise on the side.
In this way, after bypassing the teaching building, the activity building, and the administrative building.
In front of the faculty dormitory of this college, Ronald slowly stopped.
Staring at the building in front of him, he raised an eyebrow:
"Sea ...... Thor, there's something suspicious. ”
"Let's go up and have a look."
