The first draft of the 'Astral' study has not yet been completed.

Overall, it can only be said that there is a prototype.

Silently taking this information to heart, Ronald poured light oil on it, then lit a match and threw it into the fireplace along with the report.

Carrying a chair and sitting in front of the fire of the fireplace.

Ronald stared quietly at the pages that were turning to ashes, and he didn't turn back to his bedroom until they were completely burning.

“……”

"Dark Ages......

Taking off his coat and lying on the bed, Ronald put his hands on his head and began to think about the gains of his trip.

The information he learned today was too shocking in any way.

The purpose of the [Nine Rings Secret Society] is to restore the former Dark Ages, so that the mysterious side can restore its powerful abilities and status in the past.

That's where the fun happens.

Queen Daintrien, the ruler of Glade, is also a powerful spellcaster on the Mystic Side, and even when Ronald heard the queen's name a few times, almost everyone thought it was an invincible 'monster'.

As the strongest class on the mystical side.

Daintrian's queen should be able to benefit greatly from the actions of the [Nine Rings Secret Society].

But what about the reality?

The [Nine Rings Secret Society] is afraid of this queen, so he only dares to carry out activities in secret in Grad.

This most likely means that the ruler of this country, out of some principle, does not want to see this happen?

For the stability of the country?

For their own absolute dominance?

In order to continue to stabilize the interest structure of today's society?

Still is...... Her Majesty, who does not want to see the world repeat the mistakes of the past?

The action of the [Nine Rings Secret Meeting].

It can be said that it is driven entirely by self-interest.

But as the ruler of the country, the queen will not only care about the power in front of her.

And the Dark Ages.

The records of the Bureau of Investigation and the [Book Research Society], the conversations of the Great Witch, and the various people and things that Ronald himself came into contact with all gave him the feeling that human life in the Dark Ages was like a mustard.

That kind of world......

It's better not to come......

With these things in mind, Ronald's thoughts gradually came to the aspect of himself, or about the identity of Ronald Adler.

When I first came into contact with the Investigation Bureau, the reaction of the other party was basically that of an ordinary country nobleman, an ordinary person with the ability to cast magic, and a friend of the superstar Arida.

But look at the reaction of the [Nine Rings Secret Society].

No matter how Ronald thinks about it, he feels that the body he crossed must have some kind of hidden information from the original owner.

Actually, it's not just the Nine Rings Secret Meeting.

Teresa, the great witch of the Twelve Witches, and the nuns of the Church have an attitude towards themselves......

That's right!

The most suspicious is Claudia!

Her Royal Highness the First Princess of the Country!

If you think about it, there are a lot of details that can be delved into when they first met.

Although I had a crush on myself at first.

It was only after hearing Ronald introduce his name that Claudia had a complete change of attitude towards him in the true sense of the word.

Does this mean Claudia as a royalty?

She knew some important clues about her identity, which is why she had her companion that night?

"This ......"

"I guess I can ask Heloise......

Think about it.

In the end, Ronald set his sights on Heloise.

This friend, who has experienced many events with him, has accompanied him through the most uncomfortable period at the beginning of the crossing, and on the premise of having excellent information acquisition ability, he is also trustworthy on this kind of issue.

Thinking like this, Ronald gradually gave up thinking and fell asleep.

Although his physical fitness is ridiculously strong right now, a certain amount of rest can be a good way to soothe the spirit.

This is still necessary.

————

As noon drew to a close, Ronald slowly opened his eyes.

Leaving the bedroom and walking to the living room, he lazily took out his wallet and sorted out his cash possessions.

The afternoon came.

He still has a lot to do.

Try to find and buy meteorites for the Astronomy spell, and go to the Gift Street to buy a gift.

The purpose of the former naturally does not need to be explained.

As for the latter......

After coming to Springs for such a long time, it was time for Ronald to visit Patricia once.

Whether it was the previous invitation, or the situation that the other party came to the door yesterday and was not there.

It makes sense that Ronald has to go this way.

Stand in front of the mirror and tidy up your appearance.

Ronald then opened the door and left.

Coincidentally.

When Ronald went out.

Mr. Aito, who lived on the second floor of the apartment and had greeted Ronald in, happened to go out, so the other party greeted him with a smile:

"Mr. Ronald, are you going out?"

Ronald nodded in response:

"That's right, I'm going out to visit a friend today."

Speaking of which, Ronald paused:

"That's right, Mr. Aito."

"On the Springs side, what kind of gifts are generally popular?"

Go down the spiral ladder with Ronald one after the other.

While thinking, Ai Tuo replied generously:

"Usually it's not very particular, just bring something that the other person likes on the first visit. Unless it's a serious and important occasion, a special pair of cufflinks will make a great gift. ”

“……”

Go visit Patricia yourself.

This isn't a serious act, is it?

Seeing that Ronald was silent on the side, he had already come to the door of the apartment to straighten his hat, and then deliberately stopped and waited for Ronald to ask:

"So...... Is the other party a woman? ”

Ronald is also very crisp.

Nodding his head, he opened his mouth to explain:

"yes, I wonder if you know the last name Nicklaus?"

"Nicklaus?"

Hearing the last name from Ronald's mouth, Eto stood in the doorway and was stunned.

"You mean the great nobleman Nicklaus?"

"Nicklaus who was given the surname 'Ge' by the kingdom and then could add this character to his name?"

“……”

In Springs, the reputation of the Patricia family is really loud enough.

Even if Ai Tuo is an ordinary person who has never been involved in the mysterious side, he can react immediately when he hears his surname.

Is this the reputation of the old aristocracy......

It was feared by many people in Bronwich, and even more so in Springs.

With emotion in his heart, Ronald also immediately nodded in confirmation:

"That's right, it's the Nicklaus family."

Looking at Ronald's expression, the surprise on Aito's face gradually calmed down.

With a subtle smile, he shook his head and replied:

"If you are an ordinary nobleman, you can just bring an expensive gift."

"But if it's the Platinum Family......"

"Based on what I've heard, maybe it's better to look at their own preferences, right?"
